Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Oleg Nesterov has been working hard in closing all the holes that can
lead to race conditions between deleting an event and accessing an
event debugfs file. This included a fix to the debugfs system (acked
by Greg Kroah-Hartman). We think that all the holes have been patched
and hopefully we don't find more. I haven't marked all of them for
stable because I need to examine them more to figure out how far back
some of the changes need to go.
Along the way, some other fixes have been made. Alexander Z Lam fixed
some logic where the wrong buffer was being modifed.
Andrew Vagin found a possible corruption for machines that actually
allocate cpumask, as a reference to one was being zeroed out by
mistake.
Dhaval Giani found a bad prototype when tracing is not configured.
And I not only had some changes to help Oleg, but also finally fixed a
long standing bug that Dave Jones and others have been hitting, where
a module unload and reload can cause the function tracing accounting
to get screwed up"

When CONFIG_TRACING is not enabled, the stub prototype for trace_dump_stack()

tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains
a comment about that, but it doesn't help.
The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is
snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed.
The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to
cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was
converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask.
Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read
from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed.
The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe
can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
- Revert two cpuidle commits added during the 3.8 development cycle
that turn out to have introduced a significant performance regression
as requested by Jeremy Eder.
- The recent patches that made the freezer less heavy-weight introduced
a regression causing user-space-driven hibernation using the ioctl()
interface to block indefinitely when the hibernate process executes
try_to_freeze(). Fix from Colin Cross addresses this by adding a
process flag to mark the hibernate/suspend process to inform the
freezer that that process should be ignored.
- One of the recent cpufreq reverts uncovered a problem in the core
causing the cpufreq driver module refcount to become negative after a
system suspend-resume cycle. Fix from Rafael J Wysocki.
- The evaluation of the ACPI battery _BIX method has never worked
correctly, because the commit that added support for it forgot to
take the "Revision" field in the return package into account. As a
result, the reading of battery info doesn't work at all on some
systems, which is addressed by a fix from Lan Tianyu.

On a high-traffic router with many processors and many IPv6 dst
entries, soft lockup in fib6_run_gc() can occur when number of
entries reaches gc_thresh.
This happens because fib6_run_gc() uses fib6_gc_lock to allow
only one thread to run the garbage collector but ip6_dst_gc()
doesn't update net->ipv6.ip6_rt_last_gc until fib6_run_gc()
returns. On a system with many entries, this can take some time
so that in the meantime, other threads pass the tests in
ip6_dst_gc() (ip6_rt_last_gc is still not updated) and wait for
the lock. They then have to run the garbage collector one after
another which blocks them for quite long.
Resolve this by replacing special value ~0UL of expire parameter
to fib6_run_gc() by explicit "force" parameter to choose between
spin_lock_bh() and spin_trylock_bh() and call fib6_run_gc() with
force=false if gc_thresh is reached but not max_size.

vmpressure is called synchronously from reclaim where the target_memcg
is guaranteed to be alive but the eventfd is signaled from the work
queue context. This means that memcg (along with vmpressure structure
which is embedded into it) might go away while the work item is pending
which would result in use-after-release bug.
We have two possible ways how to fix this. Either vmpressure pins memcg
before it schedules vmpr->work and unpin it in vmpressure_work_fn or
explicitely flush the work item from the css_offline context (as
suggested by Tejun).
This patch implements the later one and it introduces vmpressure_cleanup
which flushes the vmpressure work queue item item. It hooks into
mem_cgroup_css_offline after the memcg itself is cleaned up.

Introduce enbale_hca and disable_hca commands to signify when the
driver starts or ceases to operate on the device.
In addition the driver will use boot and init pages count; boot pages
is required to allow firmware to complete boot commands and the other
to complete init hca. Command interface revision is bumped to 4 to
enforce using supported firmware.
This patch breaks compatibility with old versions of firmware (< 4);
however, the first GA firmware we will publish will support version 4
so this should not be a problem.

Change trace_remove_event_call(call) to return the error if this
call is active. This is what the callers assume but can't verify
outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c
need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort
if trace_remove_event_call() fails.
The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that
nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds.
debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove()
does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need
the additional checks:
- There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the
patch checks ->perf_refcount.
- TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE,
so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

Calling freeze_processes sets a global flag that will cause any
process that calls try_to_freeze to enter the refrigerator. It
skips sending a signal to the current task, but if the current
task ever hits try_to_freeze, all threads will be frozen and the
system will deadlock.
Set a new flag, PF_SUSPEND_TASK, on the task that calls
freeze_processes. The flag notifies the freezer that the thread
is involved in suspend and should not be frozen. Also add a
WARN_ON in thaw_processes if the caller does not have the
PF_SUSPEND_TASK flag set to catch if a different task calls
thaw_processes than the one that called freeze_processes, leaving
a task with PF_SUSPEND_TASK permanently set on it.
Threads that spawn off a task with PF_SUSPEND_TASK set (which
swsusp does) will also have PF_SUSPEND_TASK set, preventing them
from freezing while they are helping with suspend, but they need
to be dead by the time suspend is triggered, otherwise they may
run when userspace is expected to be frozen. Add a WARN_ON in
thaw_processes if more than one thread has the PF_SUSPEND_TASK
flag set.

Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for
repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a
significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by
Jeremy Eder:
We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code
that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads.
The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so
we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers. We also
have data from a large database setup where performance is also
measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily
share-able.
Included below are test results from 3 test kernels:
kernel reverts
-----------------------------------------------------------
1) vanilla upstream (no reverts)
2) perfteam2 reverts e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c
3) test reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4
e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c
In summary, netperf TCP_RR numbers improve by approximately 4%
after reverting 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4. When
69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4 is included, C0 residency
never seems to get above 40%. Taking that patch out gets C0 near
100% quite often, and performance increases.
The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @
1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test.
- If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency
almost entirely in the 30,40% bin.
- The last pair, which reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4,
shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins.
Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the
particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3
test kernels. We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where
we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact
boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above
baseline.
3.10-rc2 vanilla RX + c0 lock (/dev/cpu_dma_latency=0):
TCP_RR trans/s 54323.78
-----------------------------------------------------------
3.10-rc2 vanilla RX (no reverts)

Commit 18d627113b83 (firewire: prevent dropping of completed iso packet
header data) was intended to be an obvious bug fix, but libdc1394 and
FlyCap2 depend on the old behaviour by ignoring all returned information
and thus not noticing that not all packets have been received yet. The
result was that the video frame buffers would be saved before they
contained the correct data.
Reintroduce the old behaviour for old clients.

The most critical one is a fix for ahci oops during boot. Also, a new

We attempted to address a regression introduced by commit a57f7f9
(ACPICA: Add Windows8/Server2012 string for _OSI method.) after which
ACPI video backlight support doesn't work on a number of systems,
because the relevant AML methods in the ACPI tables in their BIOSes
become useless after the BIOS has been told that the OS is compatible
with Windows 8. That problem is tracked by the bug entry at:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231
Commit 8c5bd7a (ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware
expects Windows 8) introduced for this purpose essentially prevented
the ACPI backlight support from being used if the BIOS had been told
that the OS was compatible with Windows 8 and the i915 driver was
loaded, in which case the backlight would always be handled by i915.
Unfortunately, however, that turned out to cause problems with
backlight to appear on multiple systems with symptoms indicating that
i915 was unable to control the backlight on those systems as
expected.
For this reason, revert commit 8c5bd7a, but leave the function
acpi_video_backlight_quirks() introduced by it, because another
commit on top of it uses that function.

EDAC MC0: Giving out device to 'sbridge_edac.c' 'Sandy Bridge Socket#0': DEV 0000:3f:0e.0
EDAC sbridge: Driver loaded.
What happens is that bus_register needs a statically allocated lock_key
because the last is handed in to lockdep. However, struct mem_ctl_info
embeds struct bus_type (the whole struct, not a pointer to it) and the
whole thing gets dynamically allocated.
Fix this by using a statically allocated struct bus_type for the MC bus.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"This contains two patches, both of which aren't fixes per-se but I
think it'd be better to fast-track them.
One removes bcache_subsys_id which was added without proper review

unconditionally disabled, so this was never exposed to userland. The
cgroup subsys_id is removed. Kent will remove the affected (disabled)
code through bcache branch.
The other simplifies task_group_path_from_hierarchy(). The function
doesn't currently have in-kernel users but there are external code and
development going on dependent on the function and making the function
available for 3.11 would make things go smoother"

Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
controversial. The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
that I think it's time to actually make some progress.
The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.
However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly
in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
8 compatibility.
[ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
problems to show up elsewhere ]
Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does
that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
likes that part).
The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
compatible with Windows 8.
The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
Thinkpads).
The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.
The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
GUI.
Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
backlight control problems in the future.
- Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
that we are compatible with Windows 8.
- Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
(that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).
- Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support
workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware
thinks it's dealing with Windows 8. Based on the work of multiple
developers including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee,
and Aaron Lu.
- Fix from Aaron Lu makes the kernel follow Windows 8 by informing
the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled
by GUI"

Pull staging tree fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are a few iio driver fixes for 3.11-rc2. They are still spread
across drivers/iio and drivers/staging/iio so they are coming in
through this tree.
I've also removed the drivers/staging/csr/ driver as the developers
who originally sent it to me have moved on to other companies, and CSR
still will not send us the specs for the device, making the driver
pretty much obsolete and impossible to fix up. Deleting it now
prevents people from sending in lots of tiny codingsyle fixes that
will never go anywhere.
It also helps to offset the large lustre filesystem merge that
happened in 3.11-rc1 in the overall 3.11.0 diffstat. :)"

Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are fixes collected over the last week, most importnatly two
cpufreq reverts fixing regressions introduced in 3.10, an autoseelp
fix preventing systems using it from crashing during shutdown and two
ACPI scan fixes related to hotplug.
Specifics:
- Two cpufreq commits from the 3.10 cycle introduced regressions.
The first of them was buggy (it did way much more than it needed to
do) and the second one attempted to fix an issue introduced by the
first one. Fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat revert both.
- If autosleep triggers during system shutdown and the shutdown
callbacks of some device drivers have been called already, it may
crash the system. Fix from Liu Shuo prevents that from happening
by making try_to_suspend() check system_state.
- The ACPI memory hotplug driver doesn't clear its driver_data on
errors which may cause a NULL poiter dereference to happen later.
Fix from Toshi Kani.
- The ACPI namespace scanning code should not try to attach scan
handlers to device objects that have them already, which may
confuse things quite a bit, and it should rescan the whole
namespace branch starting at the given node after receiving a bus
check notify event even if the device at that particular node has
been discovered already. Fixes from Rafael J Wysocki.
- New ACPI video blacklist entry for a system whose initial backlight
setting from the BIOS doesn't make sense. From Lan Tianyu.
- Garbage string output avoindance for ACPI PNP from Liu Shuo.
- Two Kconfig fixes for issues introduced recently in the s3c24xx
cpufreq driver (when moving the driver to drivers/cpufreq) from
Paul Bolle.
- Trivial comment fix in pm_wakeup.h from Chanwoo Choi"
