Pull RCU fixes from Paul E. McKenney:

" This series includes the following:

   1.    Export a pair of debug-object interfaces for RCU that will
         allow the slab allocators to avoid a recursion bug located
         by Sasha Levin.  Strictly speaking, this is not a regression,
         but it would be good to enable the fix.

   2.    Address a serious performance regression on an open/close
         micro-benchmark located by Dave Hansen.  The offending commit
         is ac1bea8578 (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states).  "

ed235875e2 kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection
A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in
kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving
other tasks a chance to run.

Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog
task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system
log.

On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the
actual "culprit" (i.e.  the owner/holder of the contended resource) is
reported to the user.  Often this information has proven to be
insufficient to assist debugging efforts.

To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which
support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup
reporting.  This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain
a stack trace.

If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method.  A sysctl
and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

4a81e8328d rcu: Reduce overhead of cond_resched() checks for RCU
Commit ac1bea8578 (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states)
fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable
task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop
contained cond_resched() calls.  Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced
performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test.
The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path
length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which
increased per-update grace-period overhead.

This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by
moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to
rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a
simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable.  However, this
approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send
resched IPIs to the offending CPUs.  These will be sent only once
the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs
parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period
reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings
will be emitted, whichever comes first.

4251c2a670 Most of this is cleaning up various driver sysfs permissions so we can
re-add the perm check (we unified the module param and sysfs checks, but
 the module ones were stronger so we weakened them temporarily).
 
 Param parsing gets documented, and also "--" now forces args to be
 handed to init (and ignored by the kernel).
 
 Module NX/RO protections get tightened: we now set them before calling
 parse_args().
 
 Cheers,

f06e5153f4 kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers
Add a "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option to run kdump after
running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg.  This can help rare situations
where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure
(memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already
broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee
that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?).

Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option.

Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump.  This
option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump
failure rather than increasing the chance of success.

7b0b73d766 init/main.c: add initcall_blacklist kernel parameter
When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function
becomes an initcall.  Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can
help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by
changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an
effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem.

This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug.
There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the
console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate.
Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these
scenarios.

Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls>

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and
the log contains:

	blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
	...
	...
	initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter
and the log contains:

	blacklisting initcall foo_bar
	blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
	...
	...
	initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

5ea3b1b2f8 cma: add placement specifier for "cma=" kernel parameter
Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located.  We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems
without iommu.

This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel
parameter.

Examples:
 1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
 2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"

Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate.  So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm into next

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "ACPICA is the leader this time (63 commits), followed by cpufreq (28
  commits), devfreq (15 commits), system suspend/hibernation (12
  commits), ACPI video and ACPI device enumeration (10 commits each).

  We have no major new features this time, but there are a few
  significant changes of how things work.  The most visible one will
  probably be that we are now going to create platform devices rather
  than PNP devices by default for ACPI device objects with _HID.  That
  was long overdue and will be really necessary to be able to use the
  same drivers for the same hardware blocks on ACPI and DT-based systems
  going forward.  We're not expecting fallout from this one (as usual),
  but it's something to watch nevertheless.

  The second change having a chance to be visible is that ACPI video
  will now default to using native backlight rather than the ACPI
  backlight interface which should generally help systems with broken
  Win8 BIOSes.  We're hoping that all problems with the native backlight
  handling that we had previously have been addressed and we are in a
  good enough shape to flip the default, but this change should be easy
  enough to revert if need be.

  In addition to that, the system suspend core has a new mechanism to
  allow runtime-suspended devices to stay suspended throughout system
  suspend/resume transitions if some extra conditions are met
  (generally, they are related to coordination within device hierarchy).
  However, enabling this feature requires cooperation from the bus type
  layer and for now it has only been implemented for the ACPI PM domain
  (used by ACPI-enumerated platform devices mostly today).

  Also, the acpidump utility that was previously shipped as a separate
  tool will now be provided by the upstream ACPICA along with the rest
  of ACPICA code, which will allow it to be more up to date and better
  supported, and we have one new cpuidle driver (ARM clps711x).

  The rest is improvements related to certain specific use cases,
  cleanups and fixes all over the place.

  Specifics:

when installing the following table during early stage:
 ACPI: SSDT 0x00000000B9638018 07A0C4 (v02 INTEL  S2600CP  00004000 INTL 20100331)
The regression is caused by the size limitation of the x86 early IO mapping.

The root cause is:
 1. ACPICA doesn't split IO memory mapping and table mapping;
 2. Linux x86 OSL implements acpi_os_map_memory() using a size limited fix-map
    mechanism during early boot stage, which is more suitable for only IO
    mappings.

This patch fixes this issue by utilizing acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum to
disable the table mapping during early stage and enabling it again for the
late stage. In this way, the normal code path is not affected. Then after
the code related to the root cause is cleaned up, the early checksum
verification can be easily re-enabled.

A new boot parameter - acpi_force_table_verification is introduced for
the platforms that require the checksum verification to stop loading bad
tables.

This fix also covers the checksum verification for the table overrides. Now
large tables can also be overridden using the initrd override mechanism.

7913ad1ad8 m68k: Multi-platform EARLY_PRINTK
Make the boot console available to more m68k platforms by leveraging
the head.S debug console.

The boot console is enabled by the "earlyprintk" command line argument
which is how most other architectures do this.

This is a change of behaviour for the Mac but does not negatively impact
the common use-case which is not debugging.

This is also a change of behaviour for other platforms because it means
the serial port stays quiet when CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is not enabled. This
is also an improvement for the common use-case.

0399d4db3e PM / sleep: Introduce command line argument for sleep state enumeration
On some systems the platform doesn't support neither
PM_SUSPEND_MEM nor PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY, so PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE is the
only available system sleep state.  However, some user space frameworks
only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so
the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be
able to use system suspend at all and that is not always possible.

For this reason, add a new kernel command line argument,
relative_sleep_states, allowing the users of those systems to change
the way in which the kernel assigns labels to system sleep states.
Namely, for relative_sleep_states=1, the "mem", "standby" and "freeze"
labels will enumerate the available system sleem states from the
deepest to the shallowest, respectively, so that "mem" is always
present in /sys/power/state and the other state strings may or may
not be presend depending on what is supported by the platform.

Update system sleep states documentation to reflect this change.

886129a8ee ACPI / video: change acpi-video brightness_switch_enabled default to 0
acpi-video is unique in that it not only generates brightness up/down
keypresses, but also (sometimes) actively changes the brightness itself.

This presents an inconsistent kernel interface to userspace, basically there
are 2 different scenarios, depending on the laptop model:

 1) On some laptops a brightness up/down keypress means: show a brightness osd
 with the current brightness, iow it is a brightness has changed notification.

 2) Where as on (a lot of) other laptops it means a brightness up/down key was
 pressed, deal with it.

Most of the desktop environments interpret any press as in scenario 2, and
change the brightness up / down as a response to the key events, causing it
to be changed twice, once by acpi-video and once by the DE.

With the new default for video.use_native_backlight we will be moving even
more laptops over to behaving as in scenario 2. Making the remaining laptops
even more of a weird exception. Also note that it is hard to detect scenario
1 properly in userspace, and AFAIK none of the DE-s deals with it.

Therefor this commit changes the default of brightness_switch_enabled to 0
making its behavior consistent with all the other backlight drivers.

a94e88cdd8 ACPICA: Tables: Avoid SSDT installation with acpi_gbl_disable_ssdt_table_load.
It is reported that when acpi_gbl_disable_ssdt_table_load is specified, user
still can see it installed into /sys/firmware/acpi/tables on Linux boxes.
This is because the option only stops table "loading", but doesn't stop
table "installing", thus it is still in the acpi_gbl_root_table_list. With
previous cleanups, it is possible to prevent SSDT installations to make
it not such confusing.  The global variable is also renamed.  Lv Zheng.

    code to automatically serialize the execution of methods creating any
    named objects which really cannot be executed in parallel with each
    other anyway (previously ACPICA attempted to address that by aborting
    methods upon conflict detection, but that wasn't reliable enough and
    led to other issues).  From Bob Moore and Lv Zheng.

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.

  This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
  in the 64-bit vdso.  Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
  remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.

  This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
  variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
  produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
  Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
  unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.

  This is not the end of the vdso cleanups.  Stefani and Andy have
  agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
  already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
  cycle.

  An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
  that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed.  It wasn't
  before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
  or the bootloader.  Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
  this had the potential of information leaks"

4dedde7c7a ACPI and power management updates for 3.15-rc1
- Device PM QoS support for latency tolerance constraints on systems with
    hardware interfaces allowing such constraints to be specified.  That is
    necessary to prevent hardware-driven power management from becoming
    overly aggressive on some systems and to prevent power management
    features leading to excessive latencies from being used in some cases.
 
  - Consolidation of the handling of ACPI hotplug notifications for device
    objects.  This causes all device hotplug notifications to go through
    the root notify handler (that was executed for all of them anyway
    before) that propagates them to individual subsystems, if necessary,
    by executing callbacks provided by those subsystems (those callbacks
    are associated with struct acpi_device objects during device
    enumeration).  As a result, the code in question becomes both smaller
    in size and more straightforward and all of those changes should not
    affect users.
 
  - ACPICA update, including fixes related to the handling of _PRT in cases
    when it is broken and the addition of "Windows 2013" to the list of
    supported "features" for _OSI (which is necessary to support systems
    that work incorrectly or don't even boot without it).  Changes from
    Bob Moore and Lv Zheng.
 
  - Consolidation of ACPI _OST handling from Jiang Liu.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The majority of this material spent some time in linux-next, some of
  it even several weeks.  There are a few relatively fresh commits in
  it, but they are mostly fixes and simple cleanups.

  ACPI took the lead this time, both in terms of the number of commits
  and the number of modified lines of code, cpufreq follows and there
  are a few changes in the PM core and in cpuidle too.

  A new feature that already got some LWN.net's attention is the device
  PM QoS extension allowing latency tolerance requirements to be
  propagated from leaf devices to their ancestors with hardware
  interfaces for specifying latency tolerance.  That should help systems
  with hardware-driven power management to avoid going too far with it
  in cases when there are latency tolerance constraints.

  There also are some significant changes in the ACPI core related to
  the way in which hotplug notifications are handled.  They affect PCI
  hotplug (ACPIPHP) and the ACPI dock station code too.  The bottom line
  is that all those notification now go through the root notify handler
  and are propagated to the interested subsystems by means of callbacks
  instead of having to install a notify handler for each device object
  that we can potentially get hotplug notifications for.

  In addition to that ACPICA will now advertise "Windows 2013"
  compatibility for _OSI, because some systems out there don't work
  correctly if that is not done (some of them don't even boot).

  On the system suspend side of things, all of the device suspend and
  resume callbacks, except for ->prepare() and ->complete(), are now
  going to be executed asynchronously as that turns out to speed up
  system suspend and resume on some platforms quite significantly and we
  have a few more optimizations in that area.

  Apart from that, there are some new device IDs and fixes and cleanups
  all over.  In particular, the system suspend and resume handling by
  cpufreq should be improved and the cpuidle menu governor should be a
  bit more robust now.

08e1d7c029 ACPICA: Enable auto-serialization as a default kernel behavior.
The previous commit "ACPICA: Add auto-serialization support for ill-behaved
control methods" introduced the auto-serialization facility as a workaround
that can be enabled by "acpi_auto_serialize":

This feature marks control methods that create named objects as "serialized"
to avoid unwanted AE_ALREADY_EXISTS control method evaluation failures.

Enable method auto-serialization as the default kernel behavior.  The new kernel
parameter is also changed from "acpi_auto_serialize" to "acpi_no_auto_serialize"
to reflect the default behavior.

22b5afce6a ACPICA: Add auto-serialization support for ill-behaved control methods.
This change adds support to automatically mark a control method as
"serialized" if the method creates any named objects. This will
positively prevent the method from being entered by more than one
thread and thus preventing a possible abort when an attempt is
made to create an object twice.

Implemented by parsing all non-serialize control methods at table
load time.

This feature is disabled by default and this patch also adds a new
Linux kernel parameter "acpi_auto_serialize" to allow this feature
to be turned on for a specific boot.

e2b8ddcc6b ACPICA: Remove global option to serialize all control methods.
According to the reports, the "acpi_serialize" mechanism is broken as:

 A. The parallel method calls can still happen when the interpreter lock is
    released under the following conditions:
    1. External callbacks are invoked, for example, by the region handlers,
       the exception handlers, etc.;
    2. Module level execution is performed when Load/LoadTable opcodes are
       executed, and
    3. The _REG control methods are invoked to complete the region
       registrations.
 B. For the following situations, the interpreter lock need to be released
    even for a serialized method while currently, the lock-releasing
    operation is marked as a no-op by
    acpi_ex_relinquish/reacquire_interpreter() when this mechanism is
    enabled:
    1. Wait opcode is executed,
    2. Acquire opcode is executed, and
    3. Sleep opcode is executed.

This patch removes this mechanism and the internal
acpi_ex_relinquish/reacquire_interpreter() APIs.  Lv Zheng.

69f2366c94 x86, cpu: Add forcepae parameter for booting PAE kernels on PAE-disabled Pentium M
Many Pentium M systems disable PAE but may have a functionally usable PAE
implementation. This adds the "forcepae" parameter which bypasses the boot

b0b49f2673 x86, vdso: Remove compat vdso support
The compat vDSO is a complicated hack that's needed to maintain
compatibility with a small range of glibc versions.

This removes it and replaces it with a much simpler hack: a config
option to disable the 32-bit vDSO by default.

This also changes the default value of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO to n --
users configuring kernels from scratch almost certainly want that
choice.

e2b32e6785 x86, kaslr: randomize module base load address
Randomize the load address of modules in the kernel to make kASLR
effective for modules.  Modules can only be loaded within a particular
range of virtual address space.  This patch adds 10 bits of entropy to
the load address by adding 1-1024 * PAGE_SIZE to the beginning range
where modules are loaded.

The single base offset was chosen because randomizing each module
load ends up wasting/fragmenting memory too much. Prior approaches to
minimizing fragmentation while doing randomization tend to result in
worse entropy than just doing a single base address offset.

Example kASLR boot without this change, with a single module loaded:
---[ Modules ]---
0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0001000           4K     ro     GLB x  pte
0xffffffffc0001000-0xffffffffc0002000           4K     ro     GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc0002000-0xffffffffc0004000           8K     RW     GLB NX pte
0xffffffffc0004000-0xffffffffc0200000        2032K                   pte
0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffff000000        1006M                   pmd
---[ End Modules ]---

Example kASLR boot after this change, same module loaded:
---[ Modules ]---
0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0200000           2M                   pmd
0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffc03bf000        1788K                   pte
0xffffffffc03bf000-0xffffffffc03c0000           4K     ro     GLB x  pte

4dde507fc1 ACPICA: Add boot option to disable auto return object repair
Sometimes, there might be bugs caused by unexpected AML which is compliant
to the Windows but not compliant to the Linux implementation.

There is a predefined validation mechanism implemented in ACPICA to repair
the unexpected AML evaluation results that are caused by the unexpected
AMLs.  For example, BIOS may return misorder _CST result and the repair
mechanism can make an ascending order on the returned _CST package object
based on the C-state type.
This mechanism is quite useful to implement an AML interpreter with better
compliance with the real world where Windows is the de-facto standard and
BIOS codes are only tested on one platform thus not compliant to the
ACPI specification.

But if a compliance issue hasn't been figured out yet, it will be
difficult for developers to identify if the unexpected evaluation result
is caused by this mechanism or by the AML interpreter.
For example, _PR0 is expected to be a control method, but BIOS may use
Package: "Name(_PR0, Package(1) {P1PR})".
This boot option can disable the predefined validation mechanism so that
developers can make sure the root cause comes from the parser/executer.

This patch adds a new kernel parameter to disable this feature.

A build test has been made on a Dell Inspiron mini 1100 (i386 z530)
machine when this patch is applied and the corresponding boot test is
performed w/ or w/o the new kernel parameter specified.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
  this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
  core, PNP and cpuidle updates.  They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
  usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.

  The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
  acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
  the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
  sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
  status via _STA.

  Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
  delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
  namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare.  Also ACPI
  container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
  will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
  acpi-cpufreq driver.

  Specifics:

   - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
     every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
     scans regardless of the current status of that device.  In
     accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
     objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.
