Pull build fixes for less mainstream architectures from Paul Gortmaker:
"These are fixes for frv(1), blackfin(2), powerpc(1) and xtensa(4).
Fortunately the touches are nearly all specific to files just used by
the arch in question. The two touches to shared/common files
[kernel/irq/debug.h and drivers/pci/Makefile] are trivial to assess as
no risk to anyone.
Half of them relate to xtensa directly. It was only when I fixed the
last xtensa issue that I realized that the arch has been broken for a
significant time, and isn't a specific v3.4 regression. So if you
wanted, we could leave xtensa lying bleeding in the street for a
couple more weeks and queue those for 3.5. But given they are no risk
to anyone outside of xtensa, I figured to just leave them in.
If you are OK with taking the xtensa fixes, then please pull to get:
- one last implicit include uncovered by system.h that is in a file
specific to just one powerpc defconfig. (I'd sync'd with BenH).
- fix an oversight in the PCI makefile where shared code wasn't being
compiled for ARCH=frv
- fix a missing include for GPIO in blackfin framebuffer.
- audit and tag endif in blackfin ezkit board file, in order to find
and fix the misplaced endif masking a block of code.
- fix irq/debug.h choice of temporary macro names to be more internal
so they don't conflict with names used by xtensa.
- fix a reference to an undeclared local var in xtensa's signal.c
- fix an implicit bug.h usage in xtensa's asm/io.h uncovered by my
removing bug.h from kernel.h
- fix xtensa to properly indicate it is using asm-generic/hardirq.h
in order to resolve the link error - undefined ack_bad_irq
The xtensa still fails final link as my latest binutils does something
evil when ld forward-relocates unlikely() blocks, but in theory people
who have older/valid toolchains could now use the thing."

powerpc: fix system.h fallout in sysdev/scom.c [chroma_defconfig]
Updating max_usage is something one would expect when we reach
a new maximum usage value even when we do this by forcing through
the limit with res_counter_charge_nofail().
(Whether we want to account failcnt when we force through the limit
is another debate).

These two functions do almost the same thing and duplicate some code.
Merge their implementation into a single common function.
res_counter_charge_locked() takes one more parameter but it doesn't seem
to be used outside res_counter.c yet anyway.
There is no (intended) change in the behaviour.

The mod_timer_pinned() header comment states that it prevents timers
from being migrated to a different CPU. This is not the case, instead,
it ensures that the timer is posted to the current CPU, but does nothing
to prevent CPU-hotplug operations from migrating the timer.
This commit therefore brings the comment header into alignment with
reality.

RCU_FAST_NO_HZ uses a timer to limit the time that a CPU with callbacks
can remain in dyntick-idle mode. This timer is cancelled when the CPU
exits idle, and therefore should never fire. However, if the timer
were migrated to some other CPU for whatever reason (1) the timer could
actually fire and (2) firing on some other CPU would fail to wake up the
CPU with callbacks, possibly resulting in sluggishness or a system hang.
This commit therfore adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the timer handler in order
to detect this condition.

In perf_event_for_each() we call a function on an event, and then
iterate over the siblings of the event.
However we don't call the function on the siblings, we call it
repeatedly on the original event - it seems "obvious" that we should
be calling it with sibling as the argument.
It looks like this broke in commit 75f937f24b ("Fix ctx->mutex
vs counter->mutex inversion").
The only effect of the bug is that the PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP parameter
to the ioctls doesn't work.

Commits 367456c756 ("sched: Ditch per cgroup task lists for
load-balancing") and 5d6523ebd ("sched: Fix load-balance wreckage")
left some more wreckage.
By setting loop_max unconditionally to ->nr_running load-balancing
could take a lot of time on very long runqueues (hackbench!). So keep
the sysctl as max limit of the amount of tasks we'll iterate.
Furthermore, the min load filter for migration completely fails with
cgroups since inequality in per-cpu state can easily lead to such
small loads :/
Furthermore the change to add new tasks to the tail of the queue
instead of the head seems to have some effect.. not quite sure I
understand why.
Combined these fixes solve the huge hackbench regression reported by
Tim when hackbench is ran in a cgroup.

- Convert the old uid mapping functions into compatibility wrappers
- Add a uid/gid mapping layer from user space uid and gids to kernel
internal uids and gids that is extent based for simplicty and speed.
* Working with number space after mapping uids/gids into their kernel
internal version adds only mapping complexity over what we have today,
leaving the kernel code easy to understand and test.
- Add proc files /proc/self/uid_map /proc/self/gid_map
These files display the mapping and allow a mapping to be added
if a mapping does not exist.
- Allow entering the user namespace without a uid or gid mapping.
Since we are starting with an existing user our uids and gids
still have global mappings so are still valid and useful they just don't
have local mappings. The requirement for things to work are global uid
and gid so it is odd but perfectly fine not to have a local uid
and gid mapping.
Not requiring global uid and gid mappings greatly simplifies
the logic of setting up the uid and gid mappings by allowing
the mappings to be set after the namespace is created which makes the
slight weirdness worth it.
- Make the mappings in the initial user namespace to the global
uid/gid space explicit. Today it is an identity mapping
but in the future we may want to twist this for debugging, similar
to what we do with jiffies.
- Document the memory ordering requirements of setting the uid and
gid mappings. We only allow the mappings to be set once
and there are no pointers involved so the requirments are
trivial but a little atypical.
Performance:
In this scheme for the permission checks the performance is expected to
stay the same as the actuall machine instructions should remain the same.
The worst case I could think of is ls -l on a large directory where
all of the stat results need to be translated with from kuids and
kgids to uids and gids. So I benchmarked that case on my laptop
with a dual core hyperthread Intel i5-2520M cpu with 3M of cpu cache.
My benchmark consisted of going to single user mode where nothing else
was running. On an ext4 filesystem opening 1,000,000 files and looping
through all of the files 1000 times and calling fstat on the
individuals files. This was to ensure I was benchmarking stat times
where the inodes were in the kernels cache, but the inode values were
not in the processors cache. My results:
v3.4-rc1: ~= 156ns (unmodified v3.4-rc1 with user namespace support disabled)
v3.4-rc1-userns-: ~= 155ns (v3.4-rc1 with my user namespace patches and user namespace support disabled)
v3.4-rc1-userns+: ~= 164ns (v3.4-rc1 with my user namespace patches and user namespace support enabled)
All of the configurations ran in roughly 120ns when I performed tests
that ran in the cpu cache.
So in summary the performance impact is:
1ns improvement in the worst case with user namespace support compiled out.
8ns aka 5% slowdown in the worst case with user namespace support compiled in.

- Transform userns->creator from a user_struct reference to a simple
kuid_t, kgid_t pair.
In cap_capable this allows the check to see if we are the creator of
a namespace to become the classic suser style euid permission check.
This allows us to remove the need for a struct cred in the mapping
functions and still be able to dispaly the user namespace creators
uid and gid as 0.
- Remove the now unnecessary delayed_work in free_user_ns.
All that is left for free_user_ns to do is to call kmem_cache_free
and put_user_ns. Those functions can be called in any context
so call them directly from free_user_ns removing the need for delayed work.

The rcutorture initialization code ignored the error returns from

Both Steven Rostedt's new idle-capable trace macros and the RCU_NONIDLE()
macro can cause RCU to momentarily pause out of idle without the rest
of the system being involved. This can cause rcu_prepare_for_idle()
to run through its state machine too quickly, which can in turn result
in needless scheduling-clock interrupts.
This commit therefore adds code to enable rcu_prepare_for_idle() to
distinguish between an initial entry to idle on the one hand (which needs
to advance the rcu_prepare_for_idle() state machine) and an idle reentry
due to idle-capable trace macros and RCU_NONIDLE() on the other hand
(which should avoid advancing the rcu_prepare_for_idle() state machine).
Additional state is maintained to allow the timer to be correctly reposted
when returning after a momentary pause out of idle, and even more state
is maintained to detect when new non-lazy callbacks have been enqueued
(which may require re-evaluation of the approach to idleness).

The rcu_blocking_is_gp() function tests to see if there is only one
online CPU, and if so, synchronize_sched() and friends become no-ops.
However, for larger systems, num_online_cpus() scans a large vector,
and might be preempted while doing so. While preempted, any number
of CPUs might come online and go offline, potentially resulting in
num_online_cpus() returning 1 when there never had only been one
CPU online. This could result in a too-short RCU grace period, which
could in turn result in total failure, except that the only way that
the grace period is too short is if there is an RCU read-side critical
section spanning it. For RCU-sched and RCU-bh (which are the only
cases using rcu_blocking_is_gp()), RCU read-side critical sections
have either preemption or bh disabled, which prevents CPUs from going
offline. This in turn prevents actual failures from occurring.
This commit therefore adds a large block comment to rcu_blocking_is_gp()
documenting why it is safe. This commit also moves rcu_blocking_is_gp()
into kernel/rcutree.c, which should help prevent unwary developers from
mistaking it for a generally useful function.
