2018-04-10io: change writeX_relaxed() to remove barriersSinan Kaya
Now that we hardened writeX() API in asm-generic version, writeX_relaxed() API is violating the rules when writeX_relaxed() == writeX() in the default implementation. The relaxed API shouldn't have any barriers in it and it doesn't provide any ordering with respect to the memory transactions. The only requirement is for writes to be ordered with respect to each other. This is achieved by the volatile in the __raw_writeX() API. Open code the relaxed API and remove any barriers in it.

2018-04-10c6x: pass endianness info to sparseLuc Van Oostenryck
c6x depends on the macro '_BIG_ENDIAN' being defined or not to correctly select or define endian-specific macros, structures or pieces of code. This macro is predefined by the compiler but sparse knows nothing about it and thus may pre-process files differently from what gcc would. Fix this by passing '-D_BIG_ENDIAN' when compiling a big-endian kernel, like GCC would have done.

2018-04-10xen/pvh: Indicate XENFEAT_linux_rsdp_unrestricted to XenBoris Ostrovsky
Pre-4.17 kernels ignored start_info's rsdp_paddr pointer and instead relied on finding RSDP in standard location in BIOS RO memory. This has worked since that's where Xen used to place it. However, with recent Xen change (commit 4a5733771e6f ("libxl: put RSDP for PVH guest near 4GB")) it prefers to keep RSDP at a "non-standard" address. Even though as of commit b17d9d1df3c3 ("x86/xen: Add pvh specific rsdp address retrieval function") Linux is able to find RSDP, for back-compatibility reasons we need to indicate to Xen that we can handle this, an we do so by setting XENFEAT_linux_rsdp_unrestricted flag in ELF notes.

When cpu0 is offline, policy->cpu will be shifted to cpu1. cpu1's perf capabilities should be initialized. Otherwise, perf capabilities are 0s and speed change can not take effect.

2018-04-10s390/ipl: correct kdump reipl block checksum calculationVasily Gorbik
s390 kdump reipl implementation relies on os_info kernel structure residing in old memory being dumped. os_info contains reipl block, which is used (if valid) by the kdump kernel for reipl parameters. The problem is that the reipl block and its checksum inside os_info is updated only when /sys/firmware/reipl/reipl_type is written. This sets an offset of a reipl block for "reipl_type" and re-calculates reipl block checksum. Any further alteration of values under /sys/firmware/reipl/{reipl_type}/ without subsequent write to /sys/firmware/reipl/reipl_type lead to incorrect os_info reipl block checksum. In such a case kdump kernel ignores it and reboots using default logic. To fix this, os_info reipl block update is moved right before kdump execution.

2018-04-10s390/qdio: clear intparm during shutdownJulian Wiedmann
During shutdown, qdio returns its ccw device back to control by the upper-layer driver. But there is a remote chance that by the time where the IRQ handler gets switched back, the interrupt for the preceding ccw_device_{clear,halt} hasn't been presented yet. Upper-layer drivers would then need to handle this IRQ - and since the IO is issued with an intparm, it could very well be confused with whatever intparm mechanism the driver uses itself (eg intparm == request address). So when switching over the IRQ handler, also clear the intparm and have upper-layer drivers deal with any such delayed interrupt as if it was unsolicited.

2018-04-09afs: Do better accretion of small writes on newly created contentDavid Howells
Processes like ld that do lots of small writes that aren't necessarily contiguous result in a lot of small StoreData operations to the server, the idea being that if someone else changes the data on the server, we only write our changes over that and not the space between. Further, we don't want to write back empty space if we can avoid it to make it easier for the server to do sparse files. However, making lots of tiny RPC ops is a lot less efficient for the server than one big one because each op requires allocation of resources and the taking of locks, so we want to compromise a bit. Reduce the load by the following: (1) If a file is just created locally or has just been truncated with O_TRUNC locally, allow subsequent writes to the file to be merged with intervening space if that space doesn't cross an entire intervening page. (2) Don't flush the file on ->flush() but rather on ->release() if the file was open for writing. Just linking vmlinux.o, without this patch, looking in /proc/fs/afs/stats: file-wr : n=441 nb=513581204 and after the patch: file-wr : n=62 nb=513668555 there were 379 fewer StoreData RPC operations at the expense of an extra 87K being written.
