The res_counter_{charge,uncharge}_locked() variants are not used in the
kernel outside of the resource counter code itself, so remove the
interface.

Here's new version of faultaround patchset. It took a while to tune it
and collect performance data.
First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct.
->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages.
Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from
"pgoff" till "max_pgoff". ->map_pages() is called with page table
locked and must not block. If it's not possible to reach a page without
blocking, filesystem should skip it. Filesystem should use do_set_pte()
to setup page table entry. Pointer to entry associated with offset
"pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure. Pointers to
entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte".
Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path. We try to
map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time. FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now.
Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below.
TODO:
- implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs;
- modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement
mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top.
=========================================================================
Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM.
Few real-world workloads. The sweet spot for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER here is
somewhere between 3 and 5. Let's say 4 :)

This patch (of 2):
Introduce new vm_ops callback ->map_pages() and uses it for mapping easy
accessible pages around fault address.
On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up
to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce
number of minor page faults.
We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the
offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something).

Pull device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:
- Fix dm-cache corruption caused by discard_block_size > cache_block_size
- Fix a lock-inversion detected by LOCKDEP in dm-cache
- Fix a dangling bio bug in the dm-thinp target's process_deferred_bios
error path
- Fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit which allowed a
metadata superblock to be written before all other metadata was
successfully written -- this is common to all targets that use the
persistent-data library's transaction manager (dm-thinp, dm-cache and
dm-era).
- Various small cleanups in the DM core
- Add the dm-era target which is useful for keeping track of which
blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an
'era'. Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup
software, and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to
restore cache coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.
- Improve the on-disk layout of multithreaded writes to the
dm-thin-pool by splitting the pool's deferred bio list to be a
per-thin device list and then sorting that list using an rb_tree.
The subsequent read throughput of the data written via multiple
threads improved by ~70%.
- Simplify the multipath target's handling of queuing IO by pushing
requests back to the request queue rather than queueing the IO
internally.

Pull ARM SoC device tree changes from Arnd Bergmann:
"A large part of the arm-soc patches are nowadays DT changes, adding
support for new SoCs, boards and devices without changing kernel
source. The plan is still to move the devicetree files out of the
kernel tree and reduce the amount of churn going on here, but we keep
finding reasons to delay doing that.
Changes are really all over the place, with little sticking out
particularly. We have contributions from a total of 116 people in
this branch.
Unfortunately, the size of this branch also causes a significant
number of conflicts at the moment, typically when subsystem
maintainers merge patches that change the driver at the same time as
the dts files. In most cases this could be avoided because the dts
changes are supposed to be compatible in both ways, and we are asking
everyone to send ARM dts changes through our tree only"

Pull ARM changes from Russell King:
- Perf updates from Will Deacon:
- Support for Qualcomm Krait processors (run perf on your phone!)
- Support for Cortex-A12 (run perf stat on your FPGA!)
- Support for perf_sample_event_took, allowing us to automatically decrease
the sample rate if we can't handle the PMU interrupts quickly enough
(run perf record on your FPGA!).
- Basic uprobes support from David Long:
This patch series adds basic uprobes support to ARM. It is based on
patches developed earlier by Rabin Vincent. That approach of adding
hooks into the kprobes instruction parsing code was not well received.
This approach separates the ARM instruction parsing code in kprobes out
into a separate set of functions which can be used by both kprobes and
uprobes. Both kprobes and uprobes then provide their own semantic action
tables to process the results of the parsing.
- ARMv7M (microcontroller) updates from Uwe Kleine-König
- OMAP DMA updates (recently added Vinod's Ack even though they've been
sitting in linux-next for a few months) to reduce the reliance of
omap-dma on the code in arch/arm.

- Support for Cortex-A12 CPU
- Align support for ARMv6 with ARMv7 so they can cooperate better in a

Pull renameat2 system call from Miklos Szeredi:
"This adds a new syscall, renameat2(), which is the same as renameat()
but with a flags argument.
The purpose of extending rename is to add cross-rename, a symmetric
variant of rename, which exchanges the two files. This allows
interesting things, which were not possible before, for example
atomically replacing a directory tree with a symlink, etc... This
also allows overlayfs and friends to operate on whiteouts atomically.
Andy Lutomirski also suggested a "noreplace" flag, which disables the
overwriting behavior of rename.
These two flags, RENAME_EXCHANGE and RENAME_NOREPLACE are only
implemented for ext4 as an example and for testing"

The of_graph_get_next_endpoint() function was moved and renamed by

v4l2_of_get_next_endpoint() and lived in the file

In that original location, it was then fixed to support empty port
nodes by commit b9db140c1e46 ("[media] v4l: of: Support empty port

intendation" commit. I had to choose one or the other, and decided

Pull bulk of gpio updates from Linus Walleij:
"A pretty big chunk of changes this time, but it has all been on
rotation in linux-next and had some testing. Of course there will be
some amount of fixes on top...
- Merged in a branch of irqchip changes from Thomas Gleixner: we need
to have new callbacks from the irqchip to determine if the GPIO
line will be eligible for IRQs, and this callback must be able to
say "no". After some thinking I got the branch from tglx and have
switched all current users over to use this.
- Based on tglx patches, we have added some generic irqchip helpers
in the gpiolib core. These will help centralize code when GPIO
drivers have simple chained/cascaded IRQs. Drivers will still
define their irqchip vtables, but the gpiolib core will take care
of irqdomain set-up, mapping from local offsets to Linux irqs, and
reserve resources by marking the GPIO lines for IRQs.
- Initially the PL061 and Nomadik GPIO/pin control drivers have been
switched over to use the new gpiochip-to-irqchip infrastructure
with more drivers expected for the next kernel cycle. The
factoring of just two drivers still makes it worth it so it is
already a win.
- A new driver for the Synopsys DesignWare APB GPIO block.
- Modify the DaVinci GPIO driver to be reusable also for the new TI
Keystone architecture.
- A new driver for the LSI ZEVIO SoCs.
- Delete the obsolte tnetv107x driver.
- Some incremental work on GPIO descriptors: have
gpiod_direction_output() use a logical level, respecting assertion
polarity through ACTIVE_LOW flags, adding gpiod_direction_output_raw()
for the case where you want to set that very value. Add
gpiochip_get_desc() to fetch a GPIO descriptor from a specific
offset on a certain chip inside driver code.
- Switch ACPI GPIO code over to using gpiochip_get_desc() and get rid
of gpio_to_desc().
- The ACPI GPIO event handling code has been reworked after
encountering an actual real life implementation.
- Support for ACPI GPIO operation regions.
- Generic GPIO chips can now be assigned labels/names from platform
data.
- We now clamp values returned from GPIO drivers to the boolean [0,1]
range.
- Some improved documentation on how to use the polarity flag was
added.
- a large slew of incremental driver updates and non-critical fixes.
Some targeted for stable"

With this ioctl the segment usage entries in the SUFILE can be updated
from userspace.
This is useful, because it allows the userspace GC to modify and update
segment usage entries for specific segments, which enables it to avoid
unnecessary write operations.
If a segment needs to be cleaned, but there is no or very little
reclaimable space in it, the cleaning operation basically degrades to a
useless moving operation. In the end the only thing that changes is the
location of the data and a timestamp in the segment usage information.
With this ioctl the GC can skip the cleaning and update the segment
usage entries directly instead.
This is basically a shortcut to cleaning the segment. It is still
necessary to read the segment summary information, but the writing of
the live blocks can be skipped if it's not worth it.

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts
suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system
running in "tip top shape". Perhaps adding some kernel documentation
will increase the amount of accurate data on its use.
If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs.
Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to
find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate
"workaround" to limit the size of the caches. On the contrary, there
have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of
cache dropping.
Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good
for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from
production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use.
Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down
abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.
Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Most of the changes were largely clean ups, and some documentation.
But there were a few features that were added:
Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers and have
support under ftrace and perf.
The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the
multi buffer instances. That is, you can now trace some functions in
one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer
and so on. They are basically agnostic from each other. This only
works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace,
although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top
level buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different
function tracing going on in the sub buffers"

Pull main powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit more
complicated than usual.
This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge
window. I will describe it a bit more further down.
There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't
included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core
which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch. Since I
didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I
setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle
driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately
for a while now. I'll send a separate pull request for it.
Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API
that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next.
Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this
merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch
adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the
removal patch.
Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for
power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters
(also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet).
We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware
(non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error
logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along
with a hwmon driver for the latter.
There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes,
and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy
loops.
On the Freescale side, we see mostly new chip/board revisions, some
clock updates, better support for machine checks and debug exceptions,

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.
This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.
This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.
This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have
agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
cycle.
An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't
before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
this had the potential of information leaks"

Pull first round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This patch consists of the usual driver updates (megaraid_sas,
scsi_debug, qla2xxx, qla4xxx, lpfc, bnx2fc, be2iscsi, hpsa, ipr) plus
an assortment of minor fixes and the first precursors of SCSI-MQ (the
code path simplifications) and the bug fix for the USB oops on remove
(which involves an infrastructure change, so is sent via the main tree
with a delayed backport after a cycle in which it is shown to
introduce no new bugs)"
