The biggest series, also aimed at -stable, is from Aneesh and is the

implementation was occasionally triggering multi-hit errors in our
level 1 TLB. It ended up being a combination of issues including
subtleties as to how we should invalidate those special 'MPSS' pages
we use to allow the use of 16M pages inside 4K/64K "base page size"
segments (you really have to love our MMU !)
Another interesting one in the "OMG" category is the series from
Michael adding memory barriers to spin_is_locked(). That's also the
result of many days of debugging to figure out why the semaphore code
would occasionally crash in ways that made no sense. It ended up
being some creative lock stacking that was defeated by the fact that
our locks allow a load inside the locked section to be re-ordered with
the load of the lock value itself (I'm still of two mind about whether
to kill that once and for all by putting a heavier barrier back into
our lock implementation...). The fixes come with a long explanation
in the cset comments, feel free to read it if you feel like having a

Pull x86/apic updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is a major overhaul to the x86 apic subsystem consisting of the
following parts:
- Remove obsolete APIC driver abstractions (David Rientjes)
- Use the irqdomain facilities to dynamically allocate IRQs for
IOAPICs. This is a prerequisite to enable IOAPIC hotplug support,
and it also frees up wasted vectors (Jiang Liu)
- Misc fixlets.
Despite the hickup in Ingos previous pull request - caused by the
missing fixup for the suspend/resume issue reported by Borislav - I
strongly recommend that this update finds its way into 3.17. Some
history for you:
This is preparatory work for physical IOAPIC hotplug. The first
attempt to support this was done by Yinghai and I shot it down because
it just added another layer of obscurity and complexity to the already
existing mess without tackling the underlying shortcomings of the
current implementation.
After quite some on- and offlist discussions, I requested that the
design of this functionality must use generic infrastructure, i.e.
irq domains, which provide all the mechanisms to dynamically map linux
interrupt numbers to physical interrupts.
Jiang picked up the idea and did a great job of consolidating the
existing interfaces to manage the x86 (IOAPIC) interrupt system by
utilizing irq domains.
The testing in tip, Linux-next and inside of Intel on various machines
did not unearth any oddities until Borislav exposed it to one of his
oddball machines. The issue was resolved quickly, but unfortunately
the fix fell through the cracks and did not hit the tip tree before
Ingo sent the pull request. Not entirely Ingos fault, I also assumed
that the fix was already merged when Ingo asked me whether he could
send it.
Nevertheless this work has a proper design, has undergone several
rounds of review and the final fallout after applying it to tip and
integrating it into Linux-next has been more than moderate. It's the
ground work not only for IOAPIC hotplug, it will also allow us to move
the lowlevel vector allocation into the irqdomain hierarchy, which
will benefit other architectures as well. Patches are posted already,
but they are on hold for two weeks, see below.
I really appreciate the competence and responsiveness Jiang has shown
in course of this endavour. So I'm sure that any fallout of this will
be addressed in a timely manner.
FYI, I'm vanishing for 2 weeks into my annual kids summer camp kitchen
duty^Wvacation, while you folks are drooling at KS/LinuxCon :) But HPA
will have a look at the hopefully zero fallout until I'm back"

There is an issue currently where NUMA information is used on powerpc
(and possibly ia64) before it has been read from the device-tree, which
leads to large slab consumption with CONFIG_SLUB and memoryless nodes.
NUMA powerpc non-boot CPU's cpu_to_node/cpu_to_mem is only accurate
after start_secondary(), similar to ia64, which is invoked via
smp_init().
Commit 6ee0578b4d ("workqueue: mark init_workqueues() as
early_initcall()") made init_workqueues() be invoked via
do_pre_smp_initcalls(), which is obviously before the secondary
processors are online.
Additionally, the following commits changed init_workqueues() to use
cpu_to_node to determine the node to use for kthread_create_on_node:
bce903809a ("workqueue: add wq_numa_tbl_len and
wq_numa_possible_cpumask[]")
f3f90ad469 ("workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to
the allowed cpumask")
Therefore, when init_workqueues() runs, it sees all CPUs as being on
Node 0. On LPARs or KVM guests where Node 0 is memoryless, this leads to
a high number of slab deactivations
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html).
Fix this by initializing the powerpc-specific CPU<->node/local memory
node mapping as early as possible, which on powerpc is
do_init_bootmem(). Currently that function initializes the mapping for
the boot CPU, but we extend it to setup the mapping for all possible
CPUs. Then, in smp_prepare_cpus(), we can correspondingly set the
per-cpu values for all possible CPUs. That ensures that before the
early_initcalls run (and really as early as possible), the per-cpu NUMA
mapping is accurate.
While testing memoryless nodes on PowerKVM guests with a fix to the
workqueue logic to use cpu_to_mem() instead of cpu_to_node(), with a
guest topology of:

Powerpc didn't support memoryless nodes until recently (64bb80d87f
"powerpc/numa: Enable CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES" and 8c27226119
"powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID"). Those commits also
helped improve memory consumption with these kind of environments.

Free memory allocated using kmem_cache_zalloc using kmem_cache_free
rather than kfree.
The Coccinelle semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

A buffer returned by H_VTERM_PARTNER_INFO contains device information
in big endian format, causing problems for little endian architectures.
This patch ensures that they are in cpu endian.

xmon only soft disables interrupts. This seems like a bad idea - we
certainly don't want decrementer and PMU exceptions going off when
we are debugging something inside xmon.
This issue was uncovered when the hard lockup detector went off
inside xmon. To ensure we wont get a spurious hard lockup warning,
I also call touch_nmi_watchdog() when exiting xmon.

It appears that commits 7f06f21d40 ("powerpc/tm: Add checking to
treclaim/trechkpt") and e4e3812150 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add
transactional memory support") both added definitions of TEXASR_FS.
Remove one of them. At the same time, fix the alignment of the remaining
definition (should be tab-separated like the rest of the #defines).

PowerNV platform is capable of capturing host memory region when system
crashes (because of host/firmware). We have new OPAL API to register/
unregister memory region to be captured when system crashes.
This patch adds support for new API. Also during boot time we register
kernel log buffer and unregister before doing kexec.
