19d795b677 kernel/padata.c: hide unused functions
A recent cleanup removed some exported functions that were not used
anywhere, which in turn exposed the fact that some other functions in
the same file are only used in some configurations.

We now get a warning about them when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled:

  kernel/padata.c:670:12: error: '__padata_remove_cpu' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
   static int __padata_remove_cpu(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpu)
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  kernel/padata.c:650:12: error: '__padata_add_cpu' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
   static int __padata_add_cpu(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpu)

This rearranges the code so the __padata_remove_cpu/__padata_add_cpu
functions are within the #ifdef that protects the code that calls them.

815613da6a kernel/padata.c: removed unused code
By accident I stumbled across code that has never been used.  This
driver has EXPORT_SYMBOL functions, and the only user of the code is
pcrypt.c, but this only uses a subset of the exported symbols.

According to 'git log -G', the functions, padata_set_cpumasks,
padata_add_cpu, and padata_remove_cpu have never been used since they
were first introduced.  This patch removes the unused code.

On one 64 bit build, with CRYPTO_PCRYPT built in, the text is more than
4k smaller.

  10561984 4678360 1122304 16362648 f9ac98 vmlinux

On another config, 32 bit, the saving is about 0.5k bytes.

0b6b098efc padata: make the sequence counter an atomic_t
Using a spinlock to atomically increase a counter sounds wrong -- we've
atomic_t for this!

Also move 'seq_nr' to a different cache line than 'lock' to reduce cache
line trashing. This has the nice side effect of decreasing the size of
struct parallel_data from 192 to 128 bytes for a x86-64 build, e.g.
occupying only two instead of three cache lines.

Those changes results in a 5% performance increase on an IPsec test run
using pcrypt.

Btw. the seq_lock spinlock was never explicitly initialized -- one more
reason to get rid of it.

2dc9b5dbde padata: Fix race on sequence number wrap
When padata_do_parallel() is called from multiple cpus for the same
padata instance, we can get object reordering on sequence number wrap
because testing for sequence number wrap and reseting the sequence
number must happen atomically but is implemented with two atomic
operations. This patch fixes this by converting the sequence number
from atomic_t to an unsigned int and protect the access with a
spin_lock. As a side effect, we get rid of the sequence number wrap
handling because the seqence number wraps back to null now without
the need to do anything.

0500e9b3f1 padata: Remove padata_get_cpumask
A function that copies the padata cpumasks to a user buffer
is a bit error prone. The cpumask can change any time so we
can't be sure to have the right cpumask when using this function.
A user who is interested in the padata cpumasks should register
to the padata cpumask notifier chain instead. Users of
padata_get_cpumask are already updated, so we can remove it.

The aim of this patch is to make two separate cpumasks
for padata parallel and serial workers respectively.
It allows user to make more thin and sophisticated configurations
of padata framework. For example user may bind parallel and serial workers to non-intersecting
CPU groups to gain better performance. Also each padata instance has notifiers chain for its
cpumasks now. If either parallel or serial or both masks were changed all
interested subsystems will get notification about that. It's especially useful
if padata user uses algorithm for callback CPU selection according to serial cpumask.

33e5445068 padata: Handle empty padata cpumasks
This patch fixes a bug when the padata cpumask does not
intersect with the active cpumask. In this case we get a
division by zero in padata_alloc_pd and we end up with a
useless padata instance. Padata can end up with an empty
cpumask for two reasons:

1. A user removed the last cpu that belongs to the padata
cpumask and the active cpumask.

2. The last cpu that belongs to the padata cpumask and the
active cpumask goes offline.

We introduce a function padata_validate_cpumask to check if the padata
cpumask does intersect with the active cpumask. If the cpumasks do not
intersect we mark the instance as invalid, so it can't be used. We do not
allocate the cpumask dependend recources in this case. This fixes the
division by zero and keeps the padate instance in a consistent state.

It's not possible to trigger this bug by now because the only padata user,
pcrypt uses always the possible cpumask.

d46a5ac7a7 padata: Use a timer to handle remaining objects in the reorder queues
padata_get_next needs to check whether the next object that
need serialization must be parallel processed by the local cpu.
This check was wrong implemented and returned always true,
so the try_again loop in padata_reorder was never taken. This
can lead to object leaks in some rare cases due to a race that
appears with the trylock in padata_reorder. The try_again loop
was not a good idea after all, because a cpu could take that
loop frequently, so we handle this with a timer instead.

This patch adds a timer to handle the race that appears with
the trylock. If cpu1 queues an object to the reorder queue while
cpu2 holds the pd->lock but left the while loop in padata_reorder
already, cpu2 can't care for this object and cpu1 exits because
it can't get the lock. Usually the next cpu that takes the lock
cares for this object too. We need the timer just if this object
was the last one that arrives to the reorder queues. The timer
function sends it out in this case.

7d0d2d385c padata: Remove superfluous might_sleep
might_sleep() was placed before mutex_lock() in some places.
We remove them because mutex_lock() does might_sleep() too.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

975d260355 padata: Section cleanup
This patch removes the __cupinit from padata_cpu_callback(),
which is refered by the exportet function padata_alloc().

This could lead to problems if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled,
which should happen very often.

WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x7ffcb): Section mismatch in reference from the function padata_alloc() to the function .cpuinit.text:padata_cpu_callback()
The function padata_alloc() references
the function __cpuinit padata_cpu_callback().
This is often because padata_alloc lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of padata_cpu_callback is wrong.
