c28842421c lis3: fix misc device unregistering and printk
Can only unregister the misc device if it was registered before.  Also
remove debugging messages, which in addition were not properly formated.

4b324126e0 rb_tree: remove redundant if()-condition in rb_erase()
Furthermore, notice that the initial checks:

	if (!node->rb_left)
		child = node->rb_right;
	else if (!node->rb_right)
		child = node->rb_left;
	else
	{
		...
	}
guarantee that old->rb_right is set in the final else branch, therefore
we can omit checking that again.

4c60117811 rb_tree: make clear distinction between two different cases in rb_erase()
There are two cases when a node, having 2 childs, is erased:
'normal case': the successor is not the right-hand-child of the node to be erased
'special case': the successor is the right-hand child of the node to be erased

Here some ascii-art, with following symbols (referring to the code):
O: node to be deleted
N: the successor of O
P: parent of N
C: child of N
L: some other node

normal case:

               O                         N
              / \                       / \
             /   \                     /   \
            L     \                   L     \
           / \     P      ---->      / \     P
                  / \                       / \
                 /                         /
                N                         C
                 \                       / \
                  \
                   C
                  / \

special case:
              O|P                        N
              / \                       / \
             /   \                     /   \
            L     \                   L     \
           / \     N      ---->      /       C
                    \                       / \
                     \
                      C
                     / \

Notice that for the special case we don't have to reconnect C to N.

8e8a2dea0c lib/genalloc.c: remove unmatched write_lock() in gen_pool_destroy
There is a call to write_lock() in gen_pool_destroy which is not balanced
by any corresponding write_unlock().  This causes problems with preemption
because the preemption-disable counter is incremented in the write_lock()
call, but never decremented by any call to write_unlock().  This bug is
gen_pool_destroy, and one of them is non-x86 arch-specific code.

f324edc85e console: make blank timeout value a boot option
The console blank timer is currently hardcoded to 10*60 seconds which
might be annoying on systems with no input devices attached to wake up the
console again.  Especially during development, disabling the screen saver
can be handy - for example when debugging the root fs mount mechanism or
other scenarios where no userspace program could be started to do that at
runtime from userspace.

This patch defines a core_param for the variable in charge which allows
users to entirely disable the blank feature at boot time by setting it 0.
The value can still be overwritten at runtime using the standard ioctl
call - this just allows to conditionally change the default.

e4c9dd0fba kmap_types: make most arches use generic header file
Convert most arches to use asm-generic/kmap_types.h.

Move the KM_FENCE_ macro additions into asm-generic/kmap_types.h,
controlled by __WITH_KM_FENCE from each arch's kmap_types.h file.

Would be nice to be able to add custom KM_types per arch, but I don't yet
see a nice, clean way to do that.

Built on x86_64, i386, mips, sparc, alpha(tonyb), powerpc(tonyb), and
68k(tonyb).

Note: avr32 should be able to remove KM_PTE2 (since it's not used) and
then just use the generic kmap_types.h file.  Get avr32 maintainer
approval.

I'd expect the output to be "[41 42]", but actually it's "[41 42 ]"

This patch also makes the required buf to be minimum.  To print the hex
format of "AB", a buf with size 6 should be sufficient, but
hex_dump_to_buffer() required at least 8.

009789f040 slow-work: use round_jiffies() for thread pool's cull and OOM timers
Round the slow work queue's cull and OOM timeouts to whole second boundary
with round_jiffies().  The slow work queue uses a pair of timers to cull
idle threads and, after OOM, to delay new thread creation.

This patch also extracts the mod_timer() logic for the cull timer into a
separate helper function.

By rounding non-time-critical timers such as these to whole seconds, they
will be batched up to fire at the same time rather than being spread out.
This allows the CPU wake up less, which saves power.

8b0b1db013 remove put_cpu_no_resched()
put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately
can cause high latencies.

The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a
reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the
put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ.

The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt
code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is
an alias for preempt_enable().  The extra check of the preemmpt count is
not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule.

Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.

Impact: remove a high latency source

10fc89d01a drbd: add major number to major.h
Since we have had a LANANA major number for years, and it is documented in
devices.txt, I think that this first patch can go upstream.

0d9c25dde8 headers: move module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() definitions into module.h
They're in linux/bug.h at present, which causes include order tangles.  In
particular, linux/bug.h cannot be used by linux/atomic.h because,
according to Nikanth:

linux/bug.h pulls in linux/module.h => linux/spinlock.h => asm/spinlock.h
(which uses atomic_inc) => asm/atomic.h.

bug.h is a pretty low-level thing and module.h is a higher-level thing,
IMO.

4938d7e023 poll: avoid extra wakeups in select/poll
After introduction of keyed wakeups Davide Libenzi did on epoll, we are
able to avoid spurious wakeups in poll()/select() code too.

For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming
network frames on many sockets.  But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call
sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread.

When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep
again, because nothing is really available.  If number of fds is large,
this cause significant load.

This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless
wakeups are avoided.  This reduces number of context switches by about 50%
on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.

417dcdf99e atomic: only take lock when the counter drops to zero on UP as well
_atomic_dec_and_lock() should not unconditionally take the lock before
calling atomic_dec_and_test() in the UP case.  For consistency reasons it
should behave exactly like in the SMP case.

Besides that this works around the problem that with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK
this spins in __spin_lock_debug() if the lock is already taken even if the
counter doesn't drop to 0.

a7d932af06 utsname.h: make new_utsname fields use the proper length constant
The members of the new_utsname structure are defined with magic numbers
that *should* correspond to the constant __NEW_UTS_LEN+1.  Everywhere
else, code assumes this and uses the constant, so this patch makes the
structure match.

When compiling uml on x86_64:

  MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o (.__syscall_stub.2): unexpected non-allocatable section.
Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?
Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains
section definitions for use in .S files.

Because modpost checks for missing SHF_ALLOC section flag.  So just add
it.

6fa851c3e9 um: remove obsolete hw_interrupt_type
The defines and typedefs (hw_interrupt_type, no_irq_type, irq_desc_t) have
been kept around for migration reasons.  After more than two years it's
time to remove them finally.

This patch cleans up one of the remaining users.  When all such patches
hit mainline we can remove the defines and typedefs finally.

Impact: cleanup

Convert the last remaining users to struct irq_chip and remove the
define.
