 "A bit larger than what I'd wish for - half of it is due to hw driver
  updates to Intel Ivy-Bridge which info got recently released,

  are generally making exceptions for hardware enablement of this type.)

  There are also callchain fixes in it - responding to mostly

  endianness/portability fixes which did not make it for the merge

eeaaa96a3a x86/nmi: Fix section mismatch warnings on 32-bit
It was reported that compiling for 32-bit caused a bunch of
section mismatch warnings:

 VDSOSYM arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-syms.lds
  LD      arch/x86/vdso/built-in.o
  LD      arch/x86/built-in.o

 WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5af0): Section mismatch in
 reference from the variable test_nmi_ipi_callback_na.10451 to
 the function .init.text:test_nmi_ipi_callback() [...]

 WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5b04): Section mismatch in
 reference from the variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399 to the function
 .init.text:nmi_unk_cb() The variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399
 references the function __init nmi_unk_cb() [...]

Both of these are attributed to the internal representation of
the nmiaction struct created during register_nmi_handler.  The
reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the
init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is.

To resolve this, I created a new #define,
register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as
__initdata to resolve the mismatch.  This #define should only be
used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called
during init of the kernel.

Big thanks to Jan Beulich for decoding this for me as I didn't
have a clue what was going on.

302fa4b58a perf/x86: Allow multiple stacks
Without this patch, applications with two different stack
regions (eg: native stack vs JIT stack) get truncated
callchains even when RBP chaining is present. GDB shows proper
stack traces and the frame pointer chaining is intact.

This patch disables the (fp < RSP) check, hoping that other checks
in the code save the day for us. In our limited testing, this
didn't seem to break anything.

In the long term, we could potentially have userspace advise
the kernel on the range of valid stack addresses, so we don't
spend a lot of time unwinding from bogus addresses.

b430f7c470 perf/x86: Fix Intel shared extra MSR allocation
Zheng Yan reported that event group validation can wreck event state
when Intel extra_reg allocation changes event state.

Validation shouldn't change any persistent state. Cloning events in
validate_{event,group}() isn't really pretty either, so add a few
special cases to avoid modifying the event state.

The code is restructured to minimize the special case impact.

ceb1cbac8e sched/x86: Calculate booted cores after construction of sibling_mask
Commit 316ad24830 ("sched/x86: Rewrite set_cpu_sibling_map()")
broke the booted_cores accounting.

The problem is that the booted_cores accounting needs all the
sibling links set up. So restore the second loop and add a comment as
to why its needed.

On qemu booted with -smp sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2;
Before:
 $ grep cores /proc/cpuinfo
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 1
 cpu cores       : 4
 cpu cores       : 3

With the patch:
 $ grep cores /proc/cpuinfo
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 2

f6175f5bfb x86/ioapic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU hotplug after disabling irqs
In current Linux, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not cleared on
offlined cpus while disabling devices' irqs. If the cpu that has
the disabled irqs in vector_irq is hotplugged,
__setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector and may crash.

This bug can be reproduced as following;

  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online
  # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts      # vector_irq@cpu7 uncleared
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online  # kernel may crash

This patch fixes this bug by clearing vector_irq in
__clear_irq_vector() even if the cpu is offlined.

---[ end trace 320af5cb1cb60c5b ]---

The root cause seems to be the
default_send_IPI_mask_allbutself_phys() takes quite some time (I
measured it could be several ms) to complete sending NMIs to all
the other 23 CPUs, and for HZ=250/1000 system, the time is long
enough for a timer interrupt to happen, which will in turn
trigger to kick load balance to a stopped CPU and cause this
warning in native_smp_send_reschedule().

So disabling the local irq before stop_other_cpu() can fix this
problem (tested 25 times reboot ok), and it is fine as there
should be nobody caring the timer interrupt in such reboot
stage.

The latest 3.4 kernel slightly changes this behavior by sending
REBOOT_VECTOR first and only send NMI_VECTOR if the REBOOT_VCTOR
fails, and this patch is still needed to prevent the problem.

bad1a753d4 x86, x32, ptrace: Remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32
When I added x32 ptrace to 3.4 kernel, I also include PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL
support for x32 GDB  For ARCH_GET_FS/GS, it takes a pointer to int64.  But
at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32.  So I have to add
x32 ptrace to glibc to handle it with a temporary int64 passed to kernel and
copy it back to GDB as int32.  Roland suggested that PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL
is obsolete and x32 GDB should use fs_base and gs_base fields of
user_regs_struct instead.

Accordingly, remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL completely from the x32 code to
avoid possible memory overrun when pointer to int32 is passed to
kernel.

44fbbb3dc6 x86: get rid of calling do_notify_resume() when returning to kernel mode
If we end up calling do_notify_resume() with !user_mode(refs), it
does nothing (do_signal() explicitly bails out and we can't get there
with TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in such situations).  Then we jump to
resume_userspace_sig, which rechecks the same thing and bails out
to resume_kernel, thus breaking the loop.

It's easier and cheaper to check *before* calling do_notify_resume()
and bail out to resume_kernel immediately.  And kill the check in
do_signal()...

Note that on amd64 we can't get there with !user_mode() at all - asm
glue takes care of that.

efee984c27 new helper: signal_delivered()
Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler();  called when
sigframe has been successfully built.  All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).

I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

77097ae503 most of set_current_blocked() callers want SIGKILL/SIGSTOP removed from set
Only 3 out of 63 do not.  Renamed the current variant to __set_current_blocked(),
added set_current_blocked() that will exclude unblockable signals, switched
open-coded instances to it.
