"Yes, this is a much larger pull than I would like after -rc1. There
are a few things included:
- a few fixes for leaks and incorrect assertions
- a few patches fixing behavior when mapped images are resized
- handling for cloned/layered images that are flattened out from
underneath the client
The last bit was non-trivial, and there is some code movement and
associated cleanup mixed in. This was ready and was meant to go in
last week but I missed the boat on Friday. My only excuse is that I
was waiting for an all clear from the testing and there were many
other shiny things to distract me.
Strictly speaking, handling the flatten case isn't a regression and
could wait, so if you like we can try to pull the series apart, but
Alex and I would much prefer to have it all in as it is a case real
users will hit with 3.10."

The warning is that 'rdtp->dynticks' has an unexpected value, which roughly
translates to - the calls to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() were not
made in the correct order, or otherwise messed up.
And Bjørn's painstaking debugging indicated that this happens when the idle
loop enters the poll mode. Looking at the poll function cpu_idle_poll(), and
the implementation of trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle(), the problem becomes very clear:
cpu_idle_poll() lacks calls to rcu_idle_enter/exit(), and trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle()
calls them in the reverse order - first rcu_idle_exit(), and then rcu_idle_enter().
Hence the even/odd alternative sequencing of rdtp->dynticks goes for a toss.
And powertop readily triggers this because powertop uses the idle-tracing
infrastructure extensively.
So, to fix this, wrap the code in cpu_idle_poll() within rcu_idle_enter/exit(),
so that it blends properly with the calls inside trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() and
thus get the function ordering right.

Currently we only set the "to" address in the branch stack when the CPU
explicitly gives us a value. Unfortunately it only does this for XL form
branches (eg blr, bctr, bctar) and not I and B form branches (eg b, bc).
Fortunately if we read the instruction from memory we can extract the offset of
a branch and calculate the target address.
This adds a function power_pmu_bhrb_to() to calculate the target/to address of
the corresponding I and B form branches. It handles branches in both user and
kernel spaces. It also plumbs this into the perf brhb reading code.

The current Branch History Rolling Buffer (BHRB) code misinterprets the order
of entries in the hardware buffer. It assumes that a branch target address
will be read _after_ its corresponding branch. In reality the branch target
comes before (lower mfbhrb entry) it's corresponding branch.
This is a rewrite of the code to take this into account.

The new Branch History Rolling buffer (BHRB) code is only useful on 64bit

TIF_MEMDIE is moved to the second 16-bits (with value 17), as it seems there
is no asm code using it. TIF_NOHZ is added to _TIF_SYCALL_T_OR_A, so it is
better for it to be in the same 16 bits with others in the group, so in the
asm code, andi. with this group could work.

MSR_DE is not cleared on entry to the kernel, and we don't clear it
explicitly outside of debug code. If we have MSR_DE set in
prime_debug_regs(), and the new thread has events enabled in DBCR0
(e.g. ICMP is set in thread->dbsr0, even though it was cleared in the
real DBCR0 when the thread got scheduled out), we'll end up taking a
debug exception in the kernel when DBCR0 is loaded. DSRR0 will not
point to an exception vector, and the kernel ends up hanging at
kernel_dbg_exc. Fix this by always clearing MSR_DE when we load new
debug state.
Another observed source of kernel_dbg_exc hangs is with the branch
taken event. If this event is active, but we take a non-debug trap
(e.g. a TLB miss or an asynchronous interrupt) before the next branch.
We end up taking a branch-taken debug exception on the initial branch
instruction of the exception vector, but because the debug exception is
DBSR_BT rather than DBSR_IC we branch to kernel_dbg_exc before even
checking the DSRR0 address. Fix this by checking for DBSR_BT as well
as DBSR_IC, which is what 32-bit does and what the comments suggest was
intended in the 64-bit code as well.

Saw this warning again, and this time from the ret_from_fork path.

We are getting build errors with CONFIG_PROC_FS=n:
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c
In function 'rtas_flash_init':
745:33: error: unused variable 'f' [-Werror=unused-variable]
But rtas_flash.c should not be built when CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, beacause all
it does is provide a /proc interface to the RTAS flash routines.
CONFIG_RTAS_FLASH already depends on CONFIG_RTAS_PROC, to indicate that
it depends on the RTAS proc support, but CONFIG_RTAS_PROC does not
depend on CONFIG_PROC_FS. So fix that.

This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online
prior to migration/hibernation. After migration/hibernation those
threads are taken back offline.
During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is
required by the hypervisor. Without this patch, threads that are offline
(H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be
deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).
