Christian Brauner reported that if you use the TIOCGPTPEER ioctl() to
get a slave pty file descriptor, the resulting file descriptor doesn't
look right in /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd>. In particular, he wanted to use
readlink() on /proc/self/fd/<fd> to get the pathname of the slave pty
(basically implementing "ptsname{_r}()").
The reason for that was that we had generated the wrong 'struct path'
when we create the pty in ptmx_open().
In particular, the dentry was correct, but the vfsmount pointed to the
mount of the ptmx node. That _can_ be correct - in case you use
"/dev/pts/ptmx" to open the master - but usually is not. The normal
case is to use /dev/ptmx, which then looks up the pts/ directory, and
then the vfsmount of the ptmx node is obviously the /dev directory, not
the /dev/pts/ directory.
We actually did have the right vfsmount available, but in the wrong
place (it gets looked up in 'devpts_acquire()' when we get a reference
to the pts filesystem), and so ptmx_open() used the wrong mnt pointer.
The end result of this confusion was that the pty worked fine, but when
if you did TIOCGPTPEER to get the slave side of the pty, end end result
would also work, but have that dodgy 'struct path'.
And then when doing "d_path()" on to get the pathname, the vfsmount
would not match the root of the pts directory, and d_path() would return
an empty pathname thinking that the entry had escaped a bind mount into
another mount.
This fixes the problem by making devpts_acquire() return the vfsmount
for the pts filesystem, allowing ptmx_open() to trivially just use the
right mount for the pts dentry, and create the proper 'struct path'.

Since DRM IOCTL's are lockless, there is a chance that BOs could be
released while a job submission is in progress. To avoid that, keep the
GEM reference until the job has been pinned, part of which will be to

slave backend is registered in order to let master address and

I guess pm_runtime_put_noidle() call in i2c_dw_probe_slave() was copied
by accident from similar master mode adapter registration code. It is
unbalanced due missing pm_runtime_get_noresume() but harmless since it
doesn't decrease dev->power.usage_count below zero.
In theory we can hit similar needless runtime suspend/resume cycle
during slave mode adapter registration that was happening when
registering the master mode adapter. See commit cd998ded5c12 ("i2c:
designware: Prevent runtime suspend during adapter registration").
However, since we are slave, we can consider it as a wrong configuration
if we have other slaves attached under this adapter and can omit the
pm_runtime_get_noresume()/pm_runtime_put_noidle() calls for simplicity.

C-Media devices (at least some models) mute the playback stream when
volumes are set to the minimum value. But this isn't informed via TLV
and the user-space, typically PulseAudio, gets confused as if it's
still played in a low volume.
This patch adds the new flag, min_mute, to struct usb_mixer_elem_info
for indicating that the mixer element is with the minimum-mute volume.
This flag is set for known C-Media devices in
snd_usb_mixer_fu_apply_quirk() in turn.

Implement MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED with IPIs using cpumask built
from all runqueues for which current thread's mm is the same as the
thread calling sys_membarrier. It executes faster than the non-expedited
variant (no blocking). It also works on NOHZ_FULL configurations.
Scheduler-wise, it requires a memory barrier before and after context
switching between processes (which have different mm). The memory
barrier before context switch is already present. For the barrier after
context switch:
* Our TSO archs can do RELEASE without being a full barrier. Look at
x86 spin_unlock() being a regular STORE for example. But for those
archs, all atomics imply smp_mb and all of them have atomic ops in
switch_mm() for mm_cpumask(), and on x86 the CR3 load acts as a full
barrier.
* From all weakly ordered machines, only ARM64 and PPC can do RELEASE,
the rest does indeed do smp_mb(), so there the spin_unlock() is a full
barrier and we're good.
* ARM64 has a very heavy barrier in switch_to(), which suffices.
* PPC just removed its barrier from switch_to(), but appears to be
talking about adding something to switch_mm(). So add a
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() for now, until this is settled on the PPC
side.
Changes since v3:
- Properly document the memory barriers provided by each architecture.
Changes since v2:
- Address comments from Peter Zijlstra,
- Add smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() after finish_lock_switch() in
finish_task_switch() to add the memory barrier we need after storing
to rq->curr. This is much simpler than the previous approach relying
on atomic_dec_and_test() in mmdrop(), which actually added a memory
barrier in the common case of switching between userspace processes.
- Return -EINVAL when MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED is used on a nohz_full
kernel, rather than having the whole membarrier system call returning
-ENOSYS. Indeed, CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED is compatible with nohz_full.
Adapt the CMD_QUERY mask accordingly.
Changes since v1:
- move membarrier code under kernel/sched/ because it uses the
scheduler runqueue,
- only add the barrier when we switch from a kernel thread. The case
where we switch from a user-space thread is already handled by
the atomic_dec_and_test() in mmdrop().
- add a comment to mmdrop() documenting the requirement on the implicit
memory barrier.

These RCU waits were set to use interruptible waits to avoid the kthreads
contributing to system load average, even though they are not interruptible
as they are spawned from a kthread. Use the new TASK_IDLE swaits which makes
our goal clear, and removes confusion about these paths possibly being
interruptible -- they are not.
When the system is idle the RCU grace-period kthread will spend all its time
blocked inside the swait_event_interruptible(). If the interruptible() was
not used, then this kthread would contribute to the load average. This means
that an idle system would have a load average of 2 (or 3 if PREEMPT=y),
rather than the load average of 0 that almost fifty years of UNIX has
conditioned sysadmins to expect.
The same argument applies to swait_event_interruptible_timeout() use. The
RCU grace-period kthread spends its time blocked inside this call while
waiting for grace periods to complete. In particular, if there was only one
busy CPU, but that CPU was frequently invoking call_rcu(), then the RCU
grace-period kthread would spend almost all its time blocked inside the
swait_event_interruptible_timeout(). This would mean that the load average
would be 2 rather than the expected 1 for the single busy CPU.

There are cases where folks are using an interruptible swait when
using kthreads. This is rather confusing given you'd expect
interruptible waits to be -- interruptible, but kthreads are not
interruptible ! The reason for such practice though is to avoid
having these kthreads contribute to the system load average.
When systems are idle some kthreads may spend a lot of time blocking if
using swait_event_timeout(). This would contribute to the system load
average. On systems without preemption this would mean the load average
of an idle system is bumped to 2 instead of 0. On systems with PREEMPT=y
this would mean the load average of an idle system is bumped to 3
instead of 0.
This adds proper API using TASK_IDLE to make such goals explicit and
avoid confusion.

There is currently event tracing to track when a task is preempted
within a preemptible RCU read-side critical section, and also when that
task subsequently reaches its outermost rcu_read_unlock(), but none
indicating when a new grace period starts when that grace period must
wait on pre-existing readers that have been been preempted at least once
since the beginning of their current RCU read-side critical sections.
This commit therefore adds an event trace at grace-period start in
the case where there are such readers. Note that only the first
reader in the list is traced.

This commit saves a few lines in kernel/rcu/rcu.h by moving to single-line
definitions for trivial functions, instead of the old style where the
two curly braces each get their own line.

Strings used in event tracing need to be specially handled, for example,
using the TPS() macro. Without the TPS() macro, although output looks
fine from within a running kernel, extracting traces from a crash dump
produces garbage instead of strings. This commit therefore adds the TPS()
macro to some unadorned strings that were passed to event-tracing macros.
