Currently the instruction emulator code returns EMULATE_EXIT_USER
and common code initializes the "run->exit_reason = .." and
"vcpu->arch.hcall_needed = .." with one fixed reason.
But there can be different reasons when emulator need to exit
to user space. To support that the "run->exit_reason = .."
and "vcpu->arch.hcall_needed = .." initialization is moved a
level up to emulator.

Instruction emulation return EMULATE_DO_PAPR when it requires
exit to userspace on book3s. Similar return is required
for booke. EMULATE_DO_PAPR reads out to be confusing so it is
renamed to EMULATE_EXIT_USER.

This patch defines the interface parameter for KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG
ioctl support. Follow up patches will use this for setting up
hardware breakpoints, watchpoints and software breakpoints.
Also kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_guest_debug() is brought one level below.
This is because I am not sure what is required for book3s. So this ioctl
behaviour will not change for book3s.

Turn the full dynticks passive dependency on VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
to an active one.
The full dynticks Kconfig is currently hidden behind the full dynticks
cputime accounting, which is an awkward and counter-intuitive layout:
the user first has to select the dynticks cputime accounting in order
to make the full dynticks feature to be visible.
We definetly want it the other way around. The usual way to perform
this kind of active dependency is use "select" on the depended target.
Now we can't use the Kconfig "select" instruction when the target is
a "choice".
So this patch inspires on how the RCU subsystem Kconfig interact
with its dependencies on SMP and PREEMPT: we make sure that cputime
accounting can't propose another option than VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
when NO_HZ_FULL is selected by using the right "depends on" instruction
for each cputime accounting choices.
v2: Keep full dynticks cputime accounting available even without
full dynticks, as per Paul McKenney's suggestion.

The main advantge of this new upcall mechanism is that it can handle
big tickets as seen in Kerberos implementations where tickets carry
authorization data like the MS-PAC buffer with AD or the Posix Authorization
Data being discussed in IETF on the krbwg working group.
The Gssproxy program is used to perform the accept_sec_context call on the
kernel's behalf. The code is changed to also pass the input buffer straight
to upcall mechanism to avoid allocating and copying many pages as tokens can
be as big (potentially more in future) as 64KiB.

This patch implements a sunrpc client to use the services of the gssproxy
userspace daemon.
In particular it allows to perform calls in user space using an RPC
call instead of custom hand-coded upcall/downcall messages.
Currently only accept_sec_context is implemented as that is all is needed for
the server case.
File server modules like NFS and CIFS can use full gssapi services this way,
once init_sec_context is also implemented.
For the NFS server case this code allow to lift the limit of max 2k krb5
tickets. This limit is prevents legitimate kerberos deployments from using krb5
authentication with the Linux NFS server as they have normally ticket that are
many kilobytes large.
It will also allow to lift the limitation on the size of the credential set
(uid,gid,gids) passed down from user space for users that have very many groups
associated. Currently the downcall mechanism used by rpc.svcgssd is limited
to around 2k secondary groups of the 65k allowed by kernel structures.

Ensure to unregister all regulators before return error in probe().
The regulator register order depends on the regulator ID pass to
ab3100_regulator_register() function. Thus we need to scan ab3100_regulator_desc
and find the index of successfully registered regulators, or alternatively just
call ab3100_regulators_remove() to unregister all registered regulators.
Since current code uses a static ab3100_regulators table, explicitly set
reg->rdev = NULL after regulator_unregister() call to ensure calling
ab3100_regulators_remove() in the unwind path always work.
Also move ab3100_regulators_remove() to avoid forward declaration.

variable_is_present() accesses '__efivars' directly, but when called via
gsmi_init() Michel reports observing the following crash,
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: variable_is_present+0x55/0x170
Call Trace:
register_efivars+0x106/0x370
gsmi_init+0x2ad/0x3da
do_one_initcall+0x3f/0x170
The reason for the crash is that '__efivars' hasn't been initialised nor
has it been registered with register_efivars() by the time the google
EFI SMI driver runs. The gsmi code uses its own struct efivars, and
therefore, a different variable list. Fix the above crash by passing
the registered struct efivars to variable_is_present(), so that we
traverse the correct list.

This mutex avoids deadlock in case of use of multiple pin
controllers. Before this modification, by using a global
mutex, deadlock appeared when, for example, a call to
pinctrl_pins_show() locked the pinctrl_mutex, called the
ops->pin_dbg_show of a particular pin controller. If this
pin controller needs I2C access to retrieve configuration
information and I2C driver is using pinctrl to drive its
pins, a call to pinctrl_select_state() try to lock again
pinctrl_mutex which leads to a deadlock.
Notice that the mutex grab from the two direction functions
was moved into pinctrl_gpio_direction().
For several cases, we can't replace pinctrl_mutex by
pctldev->mutex, because at this stage, pctldev is
not accessible :
- pinctrl_get()/pinctrl_put()
- pinctrl_register_maps()
So add respectively pinctrl_list_mutex and
pinctrl_maps_mutex in order to protect
pinctrl_list and pinctrl_maps list instead.
Reintroduce pinctrldev_list_mutex in
find_pinctrl_by_of_node(),
pinctrl_find_and_add_gpio_range()
pinctrl_request_gpio(), pinctrl_free_gpio(),
pinctrl_gpio_direction(), pinctrl_devices_show(),
pinctrl_register() and pinctrl_unregister() to
protect pinctrldev_list.
Changes v2->v3:
- Fix a missing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for pinctrl_select_state().
Changes v1->v2:
- pinctrl_select_state_locked() is removed, all lock mechanism
is located inside pinctrl_select_state(). When parsing
the state->setting list, take the per-pin-controller driver
lock. (Patrice).
- Introduce pinctrldev_list_mutex to protect pinctrldev_list
in all functions which parse or modify pictrldev_list.
(Patrice).
- move find_pinctrl_by_of_node() from pinctrl/devicetree.c to
pinctrl/core.c in order to protect pinctrldev_list.
(Patrice).
- Sink mutex:es into some functions and remove some _locked
variants down to where the lists are actually accessed to
make things simpler. (Linus)
- Drop *all* mutexes completely from pinctrl_lookup_state()
and pinctrl_select_state() - no relevant mutex was taken
and it was unclear what this was protecting against. (Linus)

Commit 4ae46be "Thermal: Introduce thermal_zone_trip_update()"
introduced a regression causing the fan to be always on even when
the system is idle.
My original idea in that commit is that:
- when the current temperature is above the trip point,
keep the fan on, even if the temperature is dropping.
- when the current temperature is below the trip point,
turn on the fan when the temperature is raising,
turn off the fan when the temperature is dropping.
But this is what the code actually does:
- when the current temperature is above the trip point,
the fan keeps on.
- when the current temperature is below the trip point,
the fan is always on because thermal_get_trend()
in driver/acpi/thermal.c returns THERMAL_TREND_RAISING.
Thus the fan keeps running even if the system is idle.
Fix this in drivers/acpi/thermal.c.

On my SMP platform which is made of 5 cores in 2 clusters, I
have the nr_busy_cpu field of sched_group_power struct that is
not null when the platform is fully idle - which makes the
scheduler unhappy.
The root cause is:
During the boot sequence, some CPUs reach the idle loop and set
their NOHZ_IDLE flag while waiting for others CPUs to boot. But
the nr_busy_cpus field is initialized later with the assumption
that all CPUs are in the busy state whereas some CPUs have
already set their NOHZ_IDLE flag.
More generally, the NOHZ_IDLE flag must be initialized when new
sched_domains are created in order to ensure that NOHZ_IDLE and
nr_busy_cpus are aligned.
This condition can be ensured by adding a synchronize_rcu()
between the destruction of old sched_domains and the creation of
new ones so the NOHZ_IDLE flag will not be updated with old
sched_domain once it has been initialized. But this solution
introduces a additionnal latency in the rebuild sequence that is
called during cpu hotplug.
As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker, another solution is to have
the same rcu lifecycle for both NOHZ_IDLE and sched_domain
struct. A new nohz_idle field is added to sched_domain so both
status and sched_domain will share the same RCU lifecycle and
will be always synchronized. In addition, there is no more need
to protect nohz_idle against concurrent access as it is only
modified by 2 exclusive functions called by local cpu.
This solution has been prefered to the creation of a new struct
with an extra pointer indirection for sched_domain.
The synchronization is done at the cost of :
- An additional indirection and a rcu_dereference for accessing nohz_idle.
- We use only the nohz_idle field of the top sched_domain.

There was a timing window when a GFS2 file system was unmounted
that caused GFS2 to call BUG() and panic the kernel. The call
to BUG() is meant to ensure that the glock reference count,
gl_ref, never gets down to zero and bounce back up again. What was
happening during umount is that function gfs2_put_super was dequeing
its glocks for well-known files. In particular, we saw it on the
journal glock, sd_jinode_gh. The dequeue caused delayed work to be
queued for the glock state machine, to transition the lock to an
"unlocked" state. While the work was still queued, gfs2_put_super
called gfs2_gl_hash_clear to clear out the glock hash tables.
If the timing was just so, the glock work function would drop the
reference count at the time when it was being checked for zero,
and that caused BUG() to be called. This patch calls
flush_workqueue before clearing the glock hash tables, thereby
ensuring that the delayed work is executed before the hash tables
are cleared, and therefore the reference count never goes to zero
until the glock is cleared.

One testbox of mine (Intel Nehalem, 16-way) uses MWAIT for its idle routine,
which apparently can break out of its idle loop rather frequently, with
high frequency.
In that case NO_HZ_FULL=y kernels show high ksoftirqd overhead and constant
context switching, because tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() will, if
delta_jiffies == 0, mis-identify this as a timer event - activating the
TIMER_SOFTIRQ, which wakes up ksoftirqd.
Fix this by treating delta_jiffies == 0 the same way we treat other short
wakeups, delta_jiffies == 1.

Linus found, while extending integer type extension checks in the
sparse static code checker, various fragile patterns of mixed
signed/unsigned 64-bit/32-bit integer use in perf_events_p4.c.
The relevant hardware register ABI is 64 bit wide on 32-bit
kernels as well, so clean it all up a bit, remove unnecessary
casts, and make sure we use 64-bit unsigned integers in these
places.
[ Unfortunately this patch was not tested on real P4 hardware,
those are pretty rare already. If this patch causes any
problems on P4 hardware then please holler ... ]

The pci config space accessors on s390 are (now) smart enough to
figure out if a pci function is available. So instead of calling
pci_create_root_bus and then pci_scan_single_device for each
available function just call pci_scan_root_bus and let the pci core
do the scanning (via config reads on all possible functions) and
device creation.

When we fetch an interrupt on the CCW console using tsch (via
ccw_device_wait_idle formerly known as wait_cons_dev) we increment
the irq count for the affected interruption class but it is not
accounted as an IO interrupt.
This is broken since commit b603d258a43b4e7339660bdd3b5c25eacd603e54
"s390: remove superfluous tpi from wait_cons_dev"
Fix it so that the sum of the individual interrupts per class matches
the number of IO interrupts again.

In case a machine supports memory hotplug all active memory increments
present at IPL time have been initialized with a "usecount" of 1.
This is wrong if the memory increment size is larger than the memory
section size of the memory hotplug code. If that is the case the
usecount must be initialized with the number of memory sections that
fit into one memory increment.
Otherwise it is possible to put a memory increment into standby state
even if there are still active sections.
Afterwards addressing exceptions might happen which cause the kernel
to panic.
However even worse, if a memory increment was put into standby state
and afterwards into active state again, it's contents would have been
zeroed, leading to memory corruption.
This was only an issue for machines that support standby memory and
have at least 256GB memory.
This is broken since commit fdb1bb15 "[S390] sclp/memory hotplug: fix
initial usecount of increments".

We've seen repeatedly that 8KB stack size on 64 bit kernels
is not sufficient.
So simply remove the config option.
