The LEGACY mapping unnecessarily complicates the irqdomain code and
can easily be implemented with a linear mapping. By ripping it out
and replacing it with the LINEAR mapping the object size of
irqdomain.c shrinks by about 330 bytes (ARMv7) which offsets the
additional allocation required by the linear map. It also makes it
possible for current LEGACY map users to pre-allocate irq_descs for a
subset of the hwirqs and dynamically allocate the rest as needed.

Commit 98aa468e, "irqdomain: Support for static IRQ mapping and
association" introduced an API for directly associating blocks of hwirqs
to linux irqs. However, if any irq in that block failed to map (say if
the mapping functions returns an error because the irq is already
mapped) then the whole thing will fail and roll back. This is probably
too aggressive since there are valid reasons why a mapping may fail.
ie. Firmware may have a particular IRQ marked as unusable.
This patch drops the error path out of irq_domain_associate(). If a
mapping fails, then it is simply skipped. There is no reason to fail the
entire allocation.
v2: Still output an information message on failed mappings and make sure
attempted mapping gets cleared out of the irq_data structure.

As we can drop rcu read lock while iterating cgroup hierarchy,

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Instead of triggering propagation work in cpuset_attach(), we make
hotplug propagation work wait until there's no task attaching in
progress.
IMO this is more robust. We won't see empty masks in cpuset_attach().
Also it's a preparation for removing propagation work. Without asynchronous
propagation we can't call move_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() in cpuset_attach(),
because otherwise we'll deadlock on cgroup_mutex.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This contains 4 fixes.
The first two fix the case where full RCU debugging is enabled,
enabling function tracing causes a live lock of the system. This is
due to the added debug checks in rcu_dereference_raw() that is used by
the function tracer. These checks are also traced by the function
tracer as well as cause enough overhead to the function tracer to slow
down the system enough that the time to finish an interrupt can take
longer than when the next interrupt is triggered, causing a live lock
from the timer interrupt.
Talking this over with Paul McKenney, we came up with a fix that adds
a new rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() that does not perform these added
checks, and let the function tracer use that.
The third commit fixes a failed compile when branch tracing is
enabled, due to the conversion of the trace_test_buffer() selftest
that the branch trace wasn't converted for.
The forth patch fixes a bug caught by the RCU lockdep code where a
rcu_read_lock() is performed when rcu is disabled (either going to or
from idle, or user space). This happened on the irqsoff tracer as it
calls task_uid(). The fix here was to use current_uid() when possible
that doesn't use rcu locking. Which luckily, is always used when
irqsoff calls this code."

When param1 is enabled in EINJ but not assigned with a valid
value, sometimes it will cause the error like below:
APEI: Can not request [mem 0x7aaa7000-0x7aaa7007] for APEI EINJ Trigger registers
It is because some firmware will access target address specified in
param1 to trigger the error when injecting memory error. This will
cause resource conflict with regular memory. So It must be removed
from trigger table resources, but incorrect param1/param2
combination will stop this action. Add extra check to avoid
this kind of error.

The irqsoff tracer records the max time that interrupts are disabled.
There are hooks in the assembly code that calls back into the tracer when
interrupts are disabled or enabled.
When they are enabled, the tracer checks if the amount of time they
were disabled is larger than the previous recorded max interrupts off
time. If it is, it creates a snapshot of the currently running trace
to store where the last largest interrupts off time was held and how
it happened.

What happened was entering into the user code, the interrupts were enabled
and a max interrupts off was recorded. The trace buffer was saved along with
various information about the task: comm, pid, uid, priority, etc.
The uid is recorded with task_uid(tsk). But this is a macro that uses rcu_read_lock()
to retrieve the data, and this happened to happen where RCU is blind (user_enter).
As only the preempt and irqs off tracers can have this happen, and they both
only have the tsk == current, if tsk == current, use current_uid() instead of
task_uid(), as current_uid() does not use RCU as only current can change its uid.
This fixes the RCU suspicious splat.

Since 7300711e ("clockevents: broadcast fixup possible waiters"),
the timekeeping duty is assigned to the CPU that handles the tick
broadcast clock device by the time it is set in one shot mode.
This is an issue in full dynticks mode where the timekeeping duty
must stay handled by the boot CPU for now. Otherwise it prevents
secondary CPUs from offlining and this breaks
suspend/shutdown/reboot/...

moved to the broadcast CPU, besides nothing prevent it from being
later re-assigned to another target, let's simply remove it.

In tick_nohz_cpu_down_callback() if the cpu is the one handling
timekeeping, we must return something that stops the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
notifiers and then start notify CPU_DOWN_FAILED on the already called
notifier call backs.
However traditional errno values are not handled by the notifier unless
these are encapsulated using errno_to_notifier().
Hence the current -EINVAL is misinterpreted and converted to junk after
notifier_to_errno(), leaving the notifier subsystem to random behaviour
such as eventually allowing the cpu to go down.
Fix this by using the standard NOTIFY_BAD instead.

While computing the cputime delta of dynticks CPUs,
we are mixing up clocks of differents natures:
* local_clock() which takes care of unstable clock
sources and fix these if needed.
* sched_clock() which is the weaker version of
local_clock(). It doesn't compute any fixup in case
of unstable source.
If the clock source is stable, those two clocks are the
same and we can safely compute the difference against
two random points.
Otherwise it results in random deltas as sched_clock()
can randomly drift away, back or forward, from local_clock().
As a consequence, some strange behaviour with unstable tsc
has been observed such as non progressing constant zero cputime.
(The 'top' command showing no load).
Fix this by only using local_clock(), or its irq safe/remote
equivalent, in vtime code.

just fine. However, if the root cgroup does not mounted with

will succeed although after that the EA function does not works
as expected but will get ENOTSUPP for setting up attributes under
either cgroup. e.g.

Instead of keeping silence in this case, it's better to drop a log

reason behind the scene from the user's perspective, and this is
essentially an improvement does not break the backward compatibilities.

Since commit 31ade30692, timekeeping_init()
checks for presence of persistent clock by attempting to read a non-zero
time value. This is an issue on platforms where persistent_clock (instead
is implemented as a free-running counter (instead of an RTC) starting
from zero on each boot and running during suspend. Examples are some ARM
platforms (e.g. PandaBoard).
An attempt to read such a clock during timekeeping_init() may return zero
value and falsely declare persistent clock as missing. Additionally, in
the above case suspend times may be accounted twice (once from
timekeeping_resume() and once from rtc_resume()), resulting in a gradual
drift of system time.
This patch does a run-time correction of the issue by doing the same check
during timekeeping_suspend().
A better long-term solution would have to return error when trying to read
non-existing clock and zero when trying to read an uninitialized clock, but
that would require changing all persistent_clock implementations.
This patch addresses the immediate breakage, for now.

kernel/time/ntp.c: In function ‘__hardpps’:
kernel/time/ntp.c:877: warning: unused variable ‘flags’
commit a076b2146f ("ntp: Remove ntp_lock,
using the timekeeping locks to protect ntp state") removed its users,
but not the actual variable.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Two more fixes:
The first one was reported by Mauro Carvalho Chehab, where if a poll()
is done against a trace buffer for a CPU that has never been online,
it will crash the kernel, as buffers are only created when a CPU comes
on line, but the trace files are for all possible CPUs.
This fix is to check if the buffer was allocated and if not return
-EINVAL.
That was the simple fix, the real fix is a bit more complex and not
for a -rc release. We could have the files created when the CPUs come
online. That would require some design changes.
The second one was reported by Peter Zijlstra. If the kernel command
line has ftrace=nop, it will lock up the system on boot up. This is
because the new design for 3.10 has the nop tracer bootstrap the
tracing subsystem. When ftrace=<trace> is defined, when a that tracer
is registered, it starts the tracing, but uses the nop tracer to clear
things out. What happened here was that ftrace=nop caused the
registering of nop to start it and use nop before it was initialized.
The only thing nop needs to have done to initialize it is to have the
tracer point its current_tracer structure member to the nop tracer.
Doing that before registering the nop tracer makes everything work."

ring-buffer: Do not poll non allocated cpu buffers
tracing: Fix crash when ftrace=nop on the kernel command line
The tracing infrastructure sets up for possible CPUs, but it uses
the ring buffer polling, it is possible to call the ring buffer
polling code with a CPU that hasn't been allocated. This will cause
a kernel oops when it access a ring buffer cpu buffer that is part
of the possible cpus but hasn't been allocated yet as the CPU has never
been online.
