If the interlocked-access facility 1 is available we can use the asi
and agsi instructions for interlocked updates if the to be added
value is a contanst and small (in the range of -128..127).
asi and agsi do not not return the old or new value, therefore these
instructions can only be used for atomic_(add|sub|inc|dec)[64].

Make use of the interlocked-access facility 1 that got added with the
z196 architecure.
This facilility added new instructions which can atomically update a
storage location without a compare-and-swap loop. E.g. setting a bit
within a "long" can be done with a single instruction.
The size of the kernel image gets ~30kb smaller. Considering that there
are appr. 1900 bitops call sites this means that each one saves about
15-16 bytes per call site which is expected.

The result of the store-clock-fast (STCKF) instruction is a bit fuzzy.
It can happen that the value stored on one CPU is smaller than the value
stored on another CPU, although the order of the stores is the other
way around. This can cause deltas of get_tod_clock() values to become
negative when they should not be.
We need to be more careful with store-clock-fast, this patch partially
reverts git commit e4b7b4238e666682555461fa52eecd74652f36bb "time:
always use stckf instead of stck if available". The get_tod_clock()
function now uses the store-clock-extended (STCKE) instruction.
get_tod_clock_fast() can be used if the fuzziness of store-clock-fast
is acceptable e.g. for wait loops local to a CPU.

As mentioned in commit afe4fd0624 ("pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet
scheduler"), this patch adds a new socket option.
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE offers the application the ability to cap the
rate computed by transport layer. Value is in bytes per second.
u32 val = 1000000;
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_MAX_PACING_RATE, &val, sizeof(val));
To be effectively paced, a flow must use FQ packet scheduler.
Note that a packet scheduler takes into account the headers for its
computations. The effective payload rate depends on MSS and retransmits
if any.
I chose to make this pacing rate a SOL_SOCKET option instead of a
TCP one because this can be used by other protocols.

With the general-instruction extension facility (z10) a couple of
instructions with a pc-relative long displacement were introduced. The
kprobes support for these instructions however was never implemented.
In result, if anybody ever put a probe on any of these instructions the
result would have been random behaviour after the instruction got executed
within the insn slot.
So lets add the missing handling for these instructions. Since all of the
new instructions have 32 bit signed displacement the easiest solution is
to allocate an insn slot that is within the same 2GB area like the
original instruction and patch the displacement field.

The last remaining use for the storage key of the s390 architecture
is reference counting. The alternative is to make page table entries
invalid while they are old. On access the fault handler marks the
pte/pmd as young which makes the pte/pmd valid if the access rights
allow read access. The pte/pmd invalidations required for software
managed reference bits cost a bit of performance, on the other hand
the RRBE/RRBM instructions to read and reset the referenced bits are
quite expensive as well.

With the introduction of PCI it became apparent that s390 should
convert to generic hardirqs as too many drivers do not have the
correct dependency for GENERIC_HARDIRQS. On the architecture
level s390 does not have irq lines. It has external interrupts,
I/O interrupts and adapter interrupts. This patch hard-codes all
external interrupts as irq #1, all I/O interrupts as irq #2 and
all adapter interrupts as irq #3. The additional information from
the lowcore associated with the interrupt is stored in the
pt_regs of the interrupt frame, where the interrupt handler can
pick it up. For PCI/MSI interrupts the adapter interrupt handler
scans the relevant bit fields and calls generic_handle_irq with
the virtual irq number for the MSI interrupt.

ARM: tegra: core SoC enhancements for 3.12
This branch includes a number of enhancements to core SoC support for
Tegra devices. The major new features are:
* Adds a new CPU-power-gated cpuidle state for Tegra114.
* Adds initial system suspend support for Tegra114, initially supporting
just CPU-power-gating during suspend.
* Adds "LP1" suspend mode support for all of Tegra20/30/114. This mode
both gates CPU power, and places the DRAM into self-refresh mode.
* A new DT-driven PCIe driver to Tegra20/30. The driver is also moved

Ben Tebulin reported:
"Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git
repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory
failures. This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be
reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran
out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"
and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f ("mm:
limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").
That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
happened when running out of memory.
The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
buggered. It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580 ("mm/mmu_gather:
enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96c ("mm: fix the TLB
range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
was not complete.
The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot
to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.
Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.
This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end
result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.
Ben verified that this fixes his problem.
