commit d9a605e40b1376eb02b067d7690580255a0df68f upstream.

Since in some situations the lock can be shared for readers, we shouldn't
be calling it a mutex, rename it to rwsem.

<title>ipc/sem.c: replace shared sem_otime with per-semaphore value</title>

commit d12e1e50e47e0900dbbf52237b7e171f4f15ea1e upstream.

sem_otime contains the time of the last semaphore operation that
completed successfully.  Every operation updates this value, thus access
from multiple cpus can cause thrashing.

Therefore the patch replaces the variable with a per-semaphore variable.
The per-array sem_otime is only calculated when required.

No performance improvement on a single-socket i3 - only important for
larger systems.

commit 1a82e9e1d0f1b45f47a97c9e2349020536ff8987 upstream.

Introduce separate queues for operations that do not modify the
semaphore values.  Advantages:

 - Simpler logic in check_restart().
 - Faster update_queue(): Right now, all wait-for-zero operations are
   always tested, even if the semaphore value is not 0.
 - wait-for-zero gets again priority, as in linux &lt;=3.0.9

commit 118b23022512eb2f41ce42db70dc0568d00be4ba upstream.

dynamic_dname() is both too much and too little for those - the
output may be well in excess of 64 bytes dynamic_dname() assumes
to be enough (thanks to ashmem feeding really long names to
shmem_file_setup()) and vsnprintf() is an overkill for those
guys.

commit 3f0116c3238a96bc18ad4b4acefe4e7be32fa861 upstream.

Fengguang Wu, Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra tracked down
a kernel crash to a GCC bug: GCC miscompiles certain 'asm goto'
constructs, as outlined here:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58670

Implement a workaround suggested by Jakub Jelinek.

The some platforms (e.g., ARM) initializes their clocks as
late_initcalls for some unknown reason.  So make sure
random_int_secret_init() is run after all of the late_initcalls are
run.

<content type='text'>
commit 19872d20c890073c5207d9e02bb8f14d451a11eb upstream.

udev has this nice feature of creating "dead" /dev/&lt;node&gt; device-nodes if
it finds a devnode:&lt;node&gt; modalias. Once the node is accessed, the kernel
automatically loads the module that provides the node. However, this
requires udev to know the major:minor code to use for the node. This
feature was introduced by:

  commit 578454ff7eab61d13a26b568f99a89a2c9edc881
  Author: Kay Sievers &lt;kay.sievers@vrfy.org&gt;
  Date:   Thu May 20 18:07:20 2010 +0200

      driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loading

However, uhid uses dynamic minor numbers so this doesn't actually work. We
need to load uhid to know which minor it's going to use.

Hence, allocate a static minor (just like uinput does) and we're good
to go.

commit 117aad1e9e4d97448d1df3f84b08bd65811e6d6a upstream.

Isolated balloon pages can wrongly end up in LRU lists when
migrate_pages() finishes its round without draining all the isolated
page list.

The same issue can happen when reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() tries to
reclaim pages from an isolated page list, before migration, in the CMA
path.  Such balloon page leak opens a race window against LRU lists
shrinkers that leads us to the following kernel panic:

[ Upstream commit 26794942461f438a6bc725ec7294b08a6bd782c4 ]

The include/asm-generic/hugetlb.h stubs that just vector huge_pte_*()
calls to the pte_*() implementations won't work in certain situations.

x86 and sparc, for example, return "unsigned long" from the bit
checks, and just go "return pte_val(pte) &amp; PTE_BIT_FOO;"

But since huge_pte_*() returns 'int', if any high bits on 64-bit are
relevant, they get chopped off.

The net effect is that we can loop forever trying to COW a huge page,
because the huge_pte_write() check signals false all the time.

commit 5e130367d43ff22836bbae380d197d600fe8ddbb upstream.

This makes it more convenient to check for rfkill (no need to check for
dev-&gt;rfkill before calling rfkill_blocked()) and also avoids potential
races if the RFKILL state needs to be checked from within the rfkill
callback.
