d905c06935 KVM: rearrange injection cancelling code
Each time we need to cancel injection we invoke same code
(cancel_injection callback).  Move it towards the end of function using
the familiar goto on error pattern.

Will make it easier to do more cleanups for PV EOI.

5cfb1d5a65 KVM: only sync when attention bits set
Commit eb0dc6d0368072236dcd086d7fdc17fd3c4574d4 introduced apic
attention bitmask but kvm still syncs lapic unconditionally.
As that commit suggested and in anticipation of adding more attention
bits, only sync lapic if(apic_attention).

c1af87dc96 KVM: eoi msi documentation
Document the new EOI MSR. Couldn't decide whether this change belongs
conceptually on guest or host side, so a separate patch.

d0a69d6321 x86, bitops: note on __test_and_clear_bit atomicity
__test_and_clear_bit is actually atomic with respect
to the local CPU. Add a note saying that KVM on x86
relies on this behaviour so people don't accidentaly break it.
Also warn not to rely on this in portable code.

ab9cf4996b KVM guest: guest side for eoi avoidance
The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory,
that tells the guest that it does not need EOI.
Guest tests it using a single est and clear operation - this is
necessary so that host can detect interrupt nesting - and if set, it can
skip the EOI MSR.

I run a simple microbenchmark to show exit reduction
(note: for testing, need to apply follow-up patch
'kvm: host side for eoi optimization' + a qemu patch
 I posted separately, on host):

8680b94b0e KVM: optimize ISR lookups
We perform ISR lookups twice: during interrupt
injection and on EOI. Typical workloads only have
a single bit set there. So we can avoid ISR scans by
1. counting bits as we set/clear them in ISR
2. on set, caching the injected vector number
3. on clear, invalidating the cache

The real purpose of this is enabling PV EOI
which needs to quickly validate the vector.
But non PV guests also benefit: with this patch,
and without interrupt nesting, apic_find_highest_isr
will always return immediately without scanning ISR.

This is a preparatory patch for the KVM/ARM implementation. KVM/ARM will use
the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl, which is currently conditional on
__KVM_HAVE_IOAPIC, but ARM obviously doesn't have any IOAPIC support and we
need a separate define.

79f702a6d1 KVM: disable uninitialized var warning
I see this in 3.5-rc1:

arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c: In function ‘kvm_test_age_rmapp’:
arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:1271: warning: ‘iter.desc’ may be used uninitialized in this function

The line in question was introduced by commit
1e3f42f03c

 static int kvm_test_age_rmapp(struct kvm *kvm, unsigned long *rmapp,
                              unsigned long data)
 {
-       u64 *spte;
+       u64 *sptep;
+       struct rmap_iterator iter;   <- line 1271
        int young = 0;

        /*

The reason I think is that the compiler assumes that
the rmap value could be 0, so

static u64 *rmap_get_first(unsigned long rmap, struct rmap_iterator
*iter)
{
        if (!rmap)
                return NULL;

        if (!(rmap & 1)) {
                iter->desc = NULL;
                return (u64 *)rmap;
        }

        iter->desc = (struct pte_list_desc *)(rmap & ~1ul);
        iter->pos = 0;
        return iter->desc->sptes[iter->pos];
}

will not initialize iter.desc, but the compiler isn't
smart enough to see that

        for (sptep = rmap_get_first(*rmapp, &iter); sptep;
             sptep = rmap_get_next(&iter)) {

will immediately exit in this case.
I checked by adding
        if (!*rmapp)
                goto out;
on top which is clearly equivalent but disables the warning.

This patch uses uninitialized_var to disable the warning without
increasing code size.

lpage_info is created for each large level even when the memory slot is
not for RAM.  This means that when we add one slot for a PCI device, we
end up allocating at least KVM_NR_PAGE_SIZES - 1 pages by vmalloc().

To make things worse, there is an increasing number of devices which
would result in more pages being wasted this way.

0640113be2 vfs: Fix /proc/<tid>/fdinfo/<fd> file handling
Cyrill Gorcunov reports that I broke the fdinfo files with commit
30a08bf2d3 ("proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into
tid_fd_revalidate()"), and he's quite right.

The tid_fd_revalidate() function is not just used for the <tid>/fd
symlinks, it's also used for the <tid>/fdinfo/<fd> files, and the
permission model for those are different.

So do the dynamic symlink permission handling just for symlinks, making
the fdinfo files once more appear as the proper regular files they are.

Of course, Al Viro argued (probably correctly) that we shouldn't do the
symlink permission games at all, and make the symlinks always just be
the normal 'lrwxrwxrwx'.  That would have avoided this issue too, but
since somebody noticed that the permissions had changed (which was the
reason for that original commit 30a08bf2d3 in the first place), people
do apparently use this feature.

[ Basically, you can use the symlink permission data as a cheap "fdinfo"
  replacement, since you see whether the file is open for reading and/or
  writing by just looking at st_mode of the symlink.  So the feature
  does make sense, even if the pain it has caused means we probably
  shouldn't have done it to begin with. ]

That commit seems to be the cause of the mm compation list corruption
issues that Dave Jones reported.  The locking (or rather, absense
there-of) is dubious, as is the use of the 'page' variable once it has
been found to be outside the pageblock range.

So revert it for now, we can re-visit this for 3.6.  If we even need to:

752dc185da mm: fix warning in __set_page_dirty_nobuffers
New tmpfs use of !PageUptodate pages for fallocate() is triggering the
WARNING: at mm/page-writeback.c:1990 when __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
is called from migrate_page_copy() for compaction.

It is anomalous that migration should use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
on an address_space that does not participate in dirty and writeback
accounting; and this has also been observed to insert surprising dirty
tags into a tmpfs radix_tree, despite tmpfs not using tags at all.

We should probably give migrate_page_copy() a better way to preserve the
tag and migrate accounting info, when mapping_cap_account_dirty().  But
that needs some more work: so in the interim, avoid the warning by using
a simple SetPageDirty on PageSwapBacked pages.

2f9d3df8aa vfs: move inode stat information closer together
The comment above it says "Stat data, not accessed from path walking",
but in fact some of inode fields we use for the common stat data was way
down at the end of the inode, causing unnecessary cache misses for the
common stat operations.

The inode structure is pretty big, and this can change padding depending
on field width, but at least on the common 64-bit configurations this
doesn't change the size.  Some of our inode layout has historically been
to tro to avoid unnecessary padding fields, but cache locality is at
least as important for layout, if not more.

Noticed by looking at kernel profiles, and noticing that the "i_blkbits"
access stood out like a sore thumb.

cc8394d86f dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata
This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_.  This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.

Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time.  The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.

Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:

    thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>

Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools

Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:

     i) Incremental backups.

     By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
     changed over time.  Combined with data snapshots we can ensure

a24c25696b dm thin: use slab mempools
Use dedicated caches prefixed with a "dm_" name rather than relying on
kmalloc mempools backed by generic slab caches so the memory usage of
thin provisioning (and any leaks) can be accounted for independently.

35991652ba dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init
After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device.  Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.

With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too.  The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.

Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.

Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure.  Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands).  For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too.  It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

f220fd4efb dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg
If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available,
set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying.

If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is
getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right
away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a
few seconds or even several minutes.

1fbdd2b3a3 dm mpath: reduce size of struct multipath
Move multipath structure's 'lock' and 'queue_size' members to eliminate
two 4-byte holes.  Also use a bit within a single unsigned int for each
existing flag (saves 8-bytes).  This allows future flags to be added
without each consuming an unsigned int.

4fc3acf291 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Make syn floods consume significantly less resources by

    a) Not pre-COW'ing routing metrics for SYN/ACKs
    b) Mirroring the device queue mapping of the SYN for the SYN/ACK
       reply.

    Both from Eric Dumazet.

 2) Fix calculation errors in Byte Queue Limiting, from Hiroaki SHIMODA.

 3) Validate the length requested when building a paged SKB for a
    socket, so we don't overrun the page vector accidently.  From Jason
    Wang.

 4) When netlabel is disabled, we abort all IP option processing when we
    see a CIPSO option.  This isn't the right thing to do, we should
    simply skip over it and continue processing the remaining options
    (if any).  Fix from Paul Moore.

 5) SRIOV fixes for the mellanox driver from Jack orgenstein and Marcel
    Apfelbaum.

 6) 8139cp enables the receiver before the ring address is properly
    programmed, which potentially lets the device crap over random
    memory.  Fix from Jason Wang.

 7) e1000/e1000e fixes for i217 RST handling, and an improper buffer
    address reference in jumbo RX frame processing from Bruce Allan and
    Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, respectively.

Pull straggler x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "Three groups of patches:

  - EFI boot stub documentation and the ability to print error messages;
  - Removal for PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32 (obsolete interface which
    should never have been ported, and the port is broken and
    potentially dangerous.)
  - ftrace stack corruption fixes.  I'm not super-happy about the
    technical implementation, but it is probably the least invasive in
    the short term.  In the future I would like a single method for
    nesting the debug stack, however."
