Added missing Kconfig option KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC which lead to a dead
ifdef block in kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:73-75.
The code using KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC was originally introduced in
commit '5d5314d6795f3c1c0f415348ff8c51f7de042b77' by Jason Wessel.
This patchset ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)")
added platform independent part of kdb to the linux kernel.
The Kernel option however, even though it had the same options and
behaviour on all supported architectures, was part of the x86 and
ia64 patchset of KDB and therefore not pulled into the mainline kernel tree.
I actually took the originally written Kconfig by
Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> (2003-06-20 according to KDB changelog)
and changed it to reflect the correct behaviour,
as the KDUMP patchset is not part of the kernel and the expected
functionality is missing from it.

Prarit's excellent bug report:

> messages similar to
>
> [ 15.478160] kvm: Could not allocate 304 bytes percpu data
> [ 15.478174] PERCPU: allocation failed, size=304 align=32, alloc from
> reserved chunk failed
>
> during system boot. In some cases, users have also reported seeing this
> message along with a failed load of other modules.
>
> What is happening is systemd is loading an instance of the kvm module for
> each cpu found (see commit e9bda3b). When the module load occurs the kernel
> currently allocates the modules percpu data area prior to checking to see
> if the module is already loaded or is in the process of being loaded. If
> the module is already loaded, or finishes load, the module loading code
> releases the current instance's module's percpu data.
Now we have a new state MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, we can insert the
module into the list (and thus guarantee its uniqueness) before we
allocate the per-cpu region.

lib/rbtree.c declared __rb_erase_color() as __always_inline void, and
then exported it with EXPORT_SYMBOL.
This was because __rb_erase_color() must be exported for augmented
rbtree users, but it must also be inlined into rb_erase() so that the
dummy callback can get optimized out of that call site.
(Actually with a modern compiler, none of the dummy callback functions
should even be generated as separate text functions).
The above usage is legal C, but it was unusual enough for some compilers
to warn about it. This change makes things more explicit, with a static
__always_inline ____rb_erase_color function for use in rb_erase(), and a
separate non-inline __rb_erase_color function for use in
rb_erase_augmented call sites.

In some cases, free_irq_cpu_rmap() is called while holding a lock (eg
rtnl). This can lead to deadlocks, because it invokes
flush_scheduled_work() which ends up waiting for whole system workqueue
to flush, but some pending works might try to acquire the lock we are
already holding.
This commit uses reference-counting to replace
irq_run_affinity_notifiers(). It also removes
irq_run_affinity_notifiers() altogether.

This change removes the last of the __dev* markings from the kernel from

The atomic64 library uses a handful of static spin locks to implement
atomic 64-bit operations on architectures without support for atomic
64-bit instructions.
Unfortunately, the spinlocks are initialized in a pure initcall and that
is too late for the vfs namespace code which wants to use atomic64
operations before the initcall is run.
This became a problem as of commit 8823c079ba71: "vfs: Add setns support
for the mount namespace".
This leads to BUG messages such as:
BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, swapper/0/0
lock: atomic64_lock+0x240/0x400, .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: 0

coming out early on during boot when spinlock debugging is enabled.
Fix this by initializing the spinlocks statically at compile time.

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
"A few new features this merge-window. The most important one is
probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
dma_mapping_error by the device driver. This requires minor changes
to some architectures which make use of dma-debug. Most of these
changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.
Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
hardware erratum.
The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree. The
conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
deleted in the arm-soc tree. It is safe to delete the file too so
solve the conflict. Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
the common clock framework migration. A missing hunk from the patch
in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the
merge-window is closed."

There is absolutely no reason to crash the kernel when we have a
perfectly good return value already available to use for conveying
failure status.
Let's return an error code instead of crashing the kernel: that sounds
like a much better plan.

Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.
The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it generates pseudo-random
numbers by prandom_u32(). It doesn't consume the entropy pool, and the
sequence is reproducible if the same rnd_state is used. So it is suitable
for generating random bytes for testing.

This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows:
void prandom_seed(u32 seed); /* rename from srandom32() */
u32 prandom_u32(void); /* rename from random32() */
void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
/* rename from prandom32_seed() */
u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
/* rename from prandom32() */
The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from
assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure. This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.
And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the
requested number of pseudo-random bytes. If I continue to use both
prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion
is getting worse.
As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for
pseudo-random number library.
Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is
difficult to rename too many users at once.

Add lockdep annotations. Not only this can help to find the potential
problems, we do not want the false warnings if, say, the task takes two
different percpu_rw_semaphore's for reading. IOW, at least ->rw_sem
should not use a single class.
This patch exposes this internal lock to lockdep so that it represents the
whole percpu_rw_semaphore. This way we do not need to add another "fake"
->lockdep_map and lock_class_key. More importantly, this also makes the
output from lockdep much more understandable if it finds the problem.
In short, with this patch from lockdep pov percpu_down_read() and
percpu_up_read() acquire/release ->rw_sem for reading, this matches the
actual semantics. This abuses __up_read() but I hope this is fine and in
fact I'd like to have down_read_no_lockdep() as well,
percpu_down_read_recursive_readers() will need it.

percpu_rw_semaphore->writer_mutex was only added to simplify the initial
rewrite, the only thing it protects is clear_fast_ctr() which otherwise
could be called by multiple writers. ->rw_sem is enough to serialize the
writers.
Kill this mutex and add "atomic_t write_ctr" instead. The writers
increment/decrement this counter, the readers check it is zero instead of
mutex_is_locked().
Move atomic_add(clear_fast_ctr(), slow_read_ctr) under down_write() to
avoid the race with other writers. This is a bit sub-optimal, only the
first writer needs this and we do not need to exclude the readers at this
stage. But this is simple, we do not want another internal lock until we
add more features.
And this speeds up the write-contended case. Before this patch the racing
writers sleep in synchronize_sched_expedited() sequentially, with this
patch multiple synchronize_sched_expedited's can "overlap" with each
other. Note: we can do more optimizations, this is only the first step.

Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to
acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are
blocked completely. Even if the "write" section was not actually started
or if it was already finished.
With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and
down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the
slow path.
percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and
increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it
takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers.
Also. With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of
synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with
barrier.

This is another step towards better standard conformance. Rather than
adding a local buffer to store the specified portion of the string (with
the need to enforce an arbitrary maximum supported width to limit the
buffer size), do a maximum width conversion and then drop as much of it as
is necessary to meet the caller's request.
Also fail on negative field widths.
Uses the deprecated simple_strto*() functions because kstrtoXX() fail on
non-zero terminated strings.

Pull block driver update from Jens Axboe:
"Now that the core bits are in, here are the driver bits for 3.8. The
branch contains:
- A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
window. Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
situation on individual pulls can be improved.
- A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.
- Queue improvement for loop from Lukas. This grew into adding a
generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
also using it.
- A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.
- Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
to be used as an identifier."

- Use dma addresses instead of the virt_to_phys and vice versa
functions.

operate on the physical addresses instead of virtual in many of the

Pull x86 ACPI update from Peter Anvin:
"This is a patchset which didn't make the last merge window. It adds a
debugging capability to feed ACPI tables via the initramfs.
On a grander scope, it formalizes using the initramfs protocol for
feeding arbitrary blobs which need to be accessed early to the kernel:
they are fed first in the initramfs blob (lots of bootloaders can
concatenate this at boot time, others can use a single file) in an
uncompressed cpio archive using filenames starting with "kernel/".
The ACPI maintainers requested that this patchset be fed via the x86
tree rather than the ACPI tree as the footprint in the general x86
code is much bigger than in the ACPI code proper."

It is strange that alloc_bootmem() returns a virtual address and
free_bootmem() requires a physical address. Anyway, free_bootmem()'s
first parameter should be physical address.
There are some call sites for free_bootmem() with virtual address. So fix
them.

"Here's the large driver core updates for 3.8-rc1.
The biggest thing here is the various __dev* marking removals. This

know, but all of the patches included here have been ACKed by their
various subsystem maintainers, as they wanted them to go through here.
If this is too much of a pain, I can pull all of them out of this tree
and just send you one with the other fixes/updates and then, after
3.8-rc1 is out, do the rest of the removals to ensure we catch them
all, it's up to you. The merges should all be trivial, and Stephen
has been doing them all in linux-next for a few weeks now quite
easily.
Other than the __dev* marking removals, there's nothing major here,

dma-debug depends on get_dma_ops() interface. Several architectures
do not define dma_ops and get_dma_ops(). When dma debug interfaces are
used on an architecture (e.g: c6x) that doesn't define get_dmap_ops(),
compilation fails. Changing dma-debug to call dma_mapping_error() instead
of defining its own that calls get_dma_ops(), such that the internal use of
dma_mapping_error() doesn't interfere with the debug_dma_mapping_error()
interface's mapping error checks. Moving dma_mapping_error() checks in
check_unmap() under the dma debug entry not found is sufficient to fix the
problem.
