Pull fpu state cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree streamlines further aspects of FPU handling by eliminating
the prepare_to_copy() complication and moving that logic to
arch_dup_task_struct().

avoiding an FPU save for dead tasks."

window.
Loads of changes here, and we just narrowly added more lines than we
added:
622 files changed, 28356 insertions(+), 26059 deletions(-)
But, good news is that there is a number of subsystems that moved out
of the staging tree, to their respective "real" portions of the
kernel.
Code that moved out was:
- iio core code
- mei driver
- vme core and bridge drivers
There was one broken network driver that moved into staging as a step
before it is removed from the tree (pc300), and there was a few new
drivers added to the tree:
- new iio drivers
- gdm72xx wimax USB driver
- ipack subsystem and 2 drivers

This reverts commit 8c01a529b8.
It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while
it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does
not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen
the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded
the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after
it got unhashed).
End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be
freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it.
So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence
number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

Miklos Szeredi points out that we need to also worry about memory
odering when doing the dentry name comparison asynchronously with RCU.
In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over
another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always
see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off
the allocation.
Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup
time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all
names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the
end of the name allocation. If we do that at dentry allocation time, we
know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to
anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues.
So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character
that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one
final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU
lookup traversing the name too far.
The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make
sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write
barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the
dentry.

We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use
the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example)
mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't
cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc.
Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that
rw_verify_area() also does) directly.
This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only
means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can
actually remove lines of code.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
1) Get rid of the error prone NLA_PUT*() macros that used an embedded
goto.
2) Kill off the token-ring and MCA networking drivers, from Paul
Gortmaker.
3) Reduce high-order allocations made by datagram AF_UNIX sockets, from
Eric Dumazet.
4) Add PTP hardware clock support to IGB and IXGBE, from Richard
Cochran and Jacob Keller.
5) Allow users to query timestamping capabilities of a card via
ethtool, from Richard Cochran.
6) Add loadbalance mode to the teaming driver, from Jiri Pirko. Part
of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets,
and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one.
7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous
uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it
completely but it's used for ISA probing still.
8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc. I know, who cares, right? :-)
9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability
mode interfaces in the sysctl code. From Eric W Biederman.
10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via
TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as
well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the
sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE. There is also a
TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options
enabled on the connection.
11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can
enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly.
a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know
we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page().
b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather
than SLAB kmalloc'd memory. In particular devices which were
receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged
data.
The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy
any more.
12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP.
What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his
receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really
doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer
space.
sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case,
so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send
buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former.
Also from Eric Dumazet.
13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and
Chris Elston.
14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng.
Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack
threshold under certain conditions.
15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric
Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht.
Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits
are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than
the queue length (which is what RED uses).

This branch simplifies and clarifies the dcache lookup, and allows us to
do certain nice optimizations when comparing dentries. It also cleans
up the interface to __d_lookup_rcu(), especially around passing the
inode information around.
* dentry-cleanups:
vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry
vfs: move dentry name length comparison from dentry_cmp() into callers
vfs: do the careful dentry name access for all dentry_cmp cases
vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu
vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() interfaces
This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light
functions, allowing it to avoid some unnecessary locking for the common
case.
More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"
function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing
all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2ef: "x86:
merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").
* vfs-cleanups:
VFS: make vfs_fstat() use f[get|put]_light()
VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags()
x86: make word-at-a-time strncpy_from_user clear bytes at the end
This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to
memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.
This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions
that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's
just clean that up".
Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding
fields will still fall back to memset().
* stat-cleanups:
vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields
vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function
Richard removed the "dtype" hint, but few commentaries were left and this patch
removes them. I've also added a better description about the "dtype" field in

This patch also adds an important note that it is better to use value "3" for
the "dtype" field.

Most functions in UBIFS follow the following designn pattern: if the function
allocates multiple resources, and failss at some point, it frees what it has
allocated and returns an error. So the caller can rely on the fact that the

Instead of doing the i_mode calculations at proc_fd_instantiate() time,
move them into tid_fd_revalidate(), which is where the other inode state
(notably uid/gid information) is updated too.
Otherwise we'll end up with stale i_mode information if an fd is re-used
while the dentry still hangs around. Not that anything really *cares*
(symlink permissions don't really matter), but Tetsuo Handa noticed that
the owner read/write bits don't always match the state of the
readability of the file descriptor, and we _used_ to get this right a
long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Besides, aside from fixing an ugly detail (that has apparently been this
way since commit 61a2878402: "proc: Remove the hard coded inode
numbers" in 2006), this removes more lines of code than it adds. And it
just makes sense to update i_mode in the same place we update i_uid/gid.
Al Viro correctly points out that we could just do the inode fill in the
inode iops ->getattr() function instead. However, that does require
somewhat slightly more invasive changes, and adds yet *another* lookup
of the file descriptor. We need to do the revalidate() for other
reasons anyway, and have the file descriptor handy, so we might as well
fill in the information at this point.
