To use this, an architecture simply needs to:
1) Provide a user_addr_max() implementation via asm/uaccess.h
2) Add "select GENERIC_STRNCPY_FROM_USER" to their arch Kcnfig
3) Remove the existing strncpy_from_user() implementation and symbol
exports their architecture had.

Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
"This is the v3.5 RCU tree from Paul E. McKenney:
1) A set of improvements and fixes to the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ feature (with
more on the way for 3.6). Posted to LKML:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/324 (commits 1-3 and 5),
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/16/611 (commit 4),
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/30/390 (commit 6), and
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/4/410 (commit 7, combined with
the other commits for the convenience of the tester).
2) Changes to make rcu_barrier() avoid disrupting execution of CPUs
that have no RCU callbacks. Posted to LKML:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/322.
3) A couple of commits that improve the efficiency of the interaction
between preemptible RCU and the scheduler, these two being all that
survived an abortive attempt to allow preemptible RCU's
__rcu_read_lock() to be inlined. The full set was posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/14/143, and the first and third patches
of that set remain.
4) Lai Jiangshan's algorithmic implementation of SRCU, which includes
call_srcu() and srcu_barrier(). A major feature of this new
implementation is that synchronize_srcu() no longer disturbs the
execution of other CPUs. This work is based on earlier
implementations by Peter Zijlstra and Paul E. McKenney. Posted to
LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/22/82.
5) A number of miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements which were
posted to LKML at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/353 with
subsequent updates posted to LKML."

At the start of the function we assign 'a->d' to 'ap'. Then we use the
RESIZE_IF_NEEDED macro on 'a' - this may free 'a->d' and replace it
with newly allocaetd storage. In that case, we'll be operating on
freed memory further down in the function when we index into 'ap[]'.
Since we don't actually need 'ap' until after the use of the
RESIZE_IF_NEEDED macro we can just delay the assignment to it until
after we've potentially resized, thus avoiding the issue.
While I was there anyway I also changed the integer variable 'n' to be
const. It might as well be since we only assign to it once and use it
as a constant, and then the compiler will tell us if we ever assign to
it in the future.

useful for tracking down the case where scsi invoked device_del() on a
parent object and subsequently invoked device_add() on a child. Now the
warning looks like:

Minor degradation (marked with "*") for huge sparse trees
* i386 on Sandy Bridge
New code faster for common cases: tagged and dense trees.
Some degradations for non-tagged lookup on sparse trees.
Ideally, there might help __ffs() analog for searching first non-zero

This patch:
Implement a clean, simple and effective radix-tree iteration routine.
Iterating divided into two phases:
* lookup next chunk in radix-tree leaf node
* iterating through slots in this chunk
Main iterator function radix_tree_next_chunk() returns pointer to first
slot, and stores in the struct radix_tree_iter index of next-to-last slot.
For tagged-iterating it also constuct bitmask of tags for retunted chunk.
All additional logic implemented as static-inline functions and macroses.
Also adds radix_tree_find_next_bit() static-inline variant of
find_next_bit() optimized for small constant size arrays, because
find_next_bit() too heavy for searching in an array with one/two long
elements.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

"[PATCH 0/3] RFC - module.h usage cleanups in fs/ and lib/"
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/29/589
--
Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
need it.
These are trivial in scope vs. the work done previously. We now have
things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is
remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.
Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed.

"[RFC - PATCH 0/7] consolidation of BUG support code."
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/26/525
--
The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under
the one <linux/bug.h> file. Due to historical reasons, we have
some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for
BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h,
but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time. As
a band-aid, kernel.h was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.
Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
CC lib/string.o
lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
$
$ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
#include <linux/bug.h>
$
We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.]
Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
implicit presence of BUG code.
2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and
hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.
But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless
build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix
the problem areas in advance.

Pull sysctl updates from Eric Biederman:
- Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity.
Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing
network devices.
sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully
this means the code is now approachable.
Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
something was found that was usable.
- The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation
is fixed.

Add two changes that improve the performance of x86 systems
1. replace main loop with incrementing counter this change improves
the performance of the selftest by about 5-6% on Nehalem CPUs. The
apparent reason is that the compiler can use the loop index to perform
an indexed memory access. This is reported to make the performance of
PowerPC CPUs to get worse.
2. replace the rem_len loop with incrementing counter this change
improves the performance of the selftest, which has more than the usual
number of occurances, by about 1-2% on x86 CPUs. In actual work loads
the length is most often a multiple of 4 bytes and this code does not
get executed as often if at all. Again this change is reported to make
the performance of PowerPC get worse.

crc32.c provides a choice of one of several algorithms for computing the
LSB and LSB versions of the CRC32 checksum based on the parameters
CRC_LE_BITS and CRC_BE_BITS.
In the original version the values 1, 2, 4 and 8 respectively selected
versions of the alrogithm that computed the crc 1, 2, 4 and 32 bits as a
time.
This patch series adds a new version that computes the CRC 64 bits at a
time. To make things easier to understand the parameter has been
reinterpreted to actually stand for the number of bits processed in each
step of the algorithm so that the old value 8 has been replaced with the
value 32.
This also allows us to add in a widely used crc algorithm that computes
the crc 8 bits at a time called the Sarwate algorithm.

Misc cleanup of lib/crc32.c and related files.
- remove unnecessary header files.
- straighten out some convoluted ifdef's
- rewrite some references to 2 dimensional arrays as 1 dimensional
arrays to make them correct. I.e. replace tab[i] with tab[0][i].
- a few trivial whitespace changes
- fix a warning in gen_crc32tables.c caused by a mismatch in the type of
the pointer passed to output table. Since the table is only used at
kernel compile time, it is simpler to make the table big enough to hold

in output_table because it has to be used by both the le and be tables

Replace the unit test provided in crc32.c, which doesn't have a makefile
and doesn't compile with current headers, with a simpler self test
routine that also gives a measure of performance and runs at module init
time. The self test option can be enabled through a configuration
option CONFIG_CRC32_SELFTEST.
The test stresses the pre and post loops and is thus not very realistic
since actual uses will likely have addresses and lengths that are at
least 4 byte aligned. However, the main loop is long enough so that the
performance is dominated by that loop.
The expected values for crc32_le and crc32_be were generated with the
original version of crc32.c using CRC_BITS_LE = 8 and CRC_BITS_BE = 8.
These values were then used to check all the values of the BITS
parameters in both the original and new versions.
The performance results show some variability from run to run in spite
of attempts to both warm the cache and reduce the amount of OS noise by
limiting interrutps during the test. To get comparable results and to
analyse options wrt performance the best time reported over a small
sample of runs has been taken.

This patchset (re)uses Bob Pearson's crc32 slice-by-8 code to stamp out
a software crc32c implementation. It removes the crc32c implementation
in crypto/ in favor of using the stamped-out one in lib/. There is also
a change to Kconfig so that the kernel builder can pick an
implementation best suited for the hardware.
The motivation for this patchset is that I am working on adding full
metadata checksumming to ext4. As far as performance impact of adding
checksumming goes, I see nearly no change with a standard mail server
ffsb simulation. On a test that involves only file creation and
deletion and extent tree writes, I see a drop of about 50 pcercent with
the current kernel crc32c implementation; this improves to a drop of
about 20 percent with the enclosed crc32c code.
When metadata is usually a small fraction of total IO, this new
implementation doesn't help much because metadata is usually a small
fraction of total IO. However, when we are doing IO that is almost all
metadata (such as rm -rf'ing a tree), then this patch speeds up the
operation substantially.
Incidentally, given that iscsi, sctp, and btrfs also use crc32c, this
patchset should improve their speed as well. I have not yet quantified
that, however. This latest submission combines Bob's patches from late
August 2011 with mine so that they can be one coherent patch set.
Please excuse my inability to combine some of the patches; I've been
advised to leave Bob's patches alone and build atop them instead. :/
Since the last posting, I've also collected some crc32c test results on
a bunch of different x86/powerpc/sparc platforms. The results can be
viewed here: http://goo.gl/sgt3i ; the "crc32-kern-le" and "crc32c"
columns describe the performance of the kernel's current crc32 and
crc32c software implementations. The "crc32c-by8-le" column shows
crc32c performance with this patchset applied. I expect crc32
performance to be roughly the same.
The two _boost columns at the right side of the spreadsheet shows how much
faster the new implementation is over the old one. As you can see, crc32
rises substantially, and crc32c experiences a huge increase.
This patch:
- remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32.c
- remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32defs.h

- Generate a 64-bit pattern more efficiently
memchr_inv needs to generate a 64-bit pattern filled with a target
character. The operation can be done by more efficient way.
- Don't call the slow check_bytes() if the memory area is 64-bit aligned
memchr_inv compares contiguous 64-bit words with the 64-bit pattern as
much as possible. The outside of the region is checked by check_bytes()
that scans for each byte. Unfortunately, the first 64-bit word is
unexpectedly scanned by check_bytes() even if the memory area is aligned
to a 64-bit boundary.
Both changes were originally suggested by Eric Dumazet.

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:
- New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs
with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)
This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
regular, function histogram centric profiles.
The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
looks like this in perf report:
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy
$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
52.34% [.] main [.] f1
24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3
23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2
0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul
0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
0.01% [k] main [k] __printf
This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken
branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls
and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
calls, traps, interrupts, etc.
This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
support in perf report.
- Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
improvements.
- Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:
perf top -p 21483,21485
perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
perf record -p 21483,21485
- Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.
- Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
generic facility:
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;
...
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
little impact to the likely code path as possible. the
static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.
This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
usage and fast/slow cost patterns.
- SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.
- Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
better, etc.
- Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
and a corner case bugfix.
- Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).
- Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.
- 'perf bench' improvements
- ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as
there were also lots of other improvements
