09223371de rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.

The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread.  A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.

Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler.  Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling.  (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime.  And "the meantime" might well be forever.)

This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work.  RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case.  This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

21c13a4f7b usb-storage: redo incorrect reads
Some USB mass-storage devices have bugs that cause them not to handle
the first READ(10) command they receive correctly.  The Corsair
Padlock v2 returns completely bogus data for its first read (possibly
it returns the data in encrypted form even though the device is
supposed to be unlocked).  The Feiya SD/SDHC card reader fails to
complete the first READ(10) command after it is plugged in or after a
new card is inserted, returning a status code that indicates it thinks
the command was invalid, which prevents the kernel from retrying the
read.

Since the first read of a new device or a new medium is for the
partition sector, the kernel is unable to retrieve the device's
partition table.  Users have to manually issue an "hdparm -z" or
"blockdev --rereadpt" command before they can access the device.

This patch (as1470) works around the problem.  It adds a new quirk
flag, US_FL_INVALID_READ10, indicating that the first READ(10) should
always be retried immediately, as should any failing READ(10) commands
(provided the preceding READ(10) command succeeded, to avoid getting
stuck in a loop).  The patch also adds appropriate unusual_devs
entries containing the new flag.

Youquan Song
6dd9a7c737 intel-iommu: Enable super page (2MiB, 1GiB, etc.) support
There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the
internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping:
  - size >= 2MiB, and
  - virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and
  - physical address aligned to 2MiB, and
  - on hardware that supports superpages.

(and likewise for larger superpages).

We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to
worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always
*unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure
that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages.

Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so
it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always
extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is
simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small
pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same
virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page
tables freed.

Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a
chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required.

==

The original commit seen in the iommu-2.6.git was Youquan's
implementation (and completion) of my own half-baked code which I'd
typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'.

I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the
original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make
life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to
older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment
which (hopefully) gives a better explanation of what's going on.

The original sequence of commits leading to identical code was:

Youquan Song (3):
      intel-iommu: super page support
      intel-iommu: Fix superpage alignment calculation error
      intel-iommu: Fix superpage level calculation error in dma_pfn_level_pte()

David Woodhouse (4):

5d4c47e019 x86 idle: deprecate mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param
mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it.

But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle().

Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param
to simplify the x86 idle code.

After this change, kernels configured with
(!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that support MWAIT will simply use HLT.  If MWAIT is desired
on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above
can be used.

We don't want to export the pm_idle function pointer to modules.
Currently CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE w/ CONFIG_APM_MODULE forces us to.

CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is of dubious value, it runs only on 32-bit
uniprocessor laptops that are over 10 years old.  It calls into
the BIOS during idle, and is known to cause a number of machines
to fail.

Removing CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE and will allow us to stop exporting
pm_idle.  Any systems that were calling into the APM BIOS
at run-time will simply use HLT instead.

aa38572954 fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode
Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or
anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it
needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not.

This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet.  I plan
to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting
this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid
tree interdependencies.

Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block.  That
has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

57cc083ad9 coredump: add support for exe_file in core name
Now, exe_file is not proc FS dependent, so we can use it to name core
file.  So we add %E pattern for core file name cration which extract path
from mm_struct->exe_file.  Then it converts slashes to exclamation marks
and pastes the result to the core file name itself.

This is useful for environments where binary names are longer than 16
character (the current->comm limitation).  Also where there are binaries
with same name but in a different path.  Further in case the binery itself
changes its current->comm after exec.

So by doing (s/$/#/ -- # is treated as git comment):

  $ sysctl kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%E'
  $ ln /bin/cat cat45678901234567890
  $ ./cat45678901234567890
  ^Z
  $ rm cat45678901234567890
  $ fg
  ^\Quit (core dumped)
  $ ls core*

we now get:

  core.2434.cat456789012345.!root!cat45678901234567890 (deleted)

a77aea9201 cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup
The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
    namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
  * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

  The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
  where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
  The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
  the 'tasks' file.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change.  Commit 45531757b4 ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.  Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

74a1166dfe cgroups: make procs file writable
Make procs file writable to move all threads by tgid at once.

Add functionality that enables users to move all threads in a threadgroup
at once to a cgroup by writing the tgid to the 'cgroup.procs' file.  This
current implementation makes use of a per-threadgroup rwsem that's taken
for reading in the fork() path to prevent newly forking threads within the
threadgroup from "escaping" while the move is in progress.

f780bdb7c1 cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts

Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface.  Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.

Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this.  All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.

This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.
