This fixes a behavior regression visible to userland which was created
by a commit merged during -rc1. While the behavior change isn't too
likely to be noticeable, the fix is relatively low risk and we'll need
to backport it through -stable anyway if the bug gets released"

cpuset: fix a regression in validating config change
It's not allowed to clear masks of a cpuset if there're tasks in it,

# echo 0 > /cgroup/sub/cpuset.mems
# echo $$ > /cgroup/sub/tasks
# echo > /cgroup/sub/cpuset.cpus

Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6 ("microblaze: switch to generic
fork/vfork/clone").
The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size. The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd
slot.
This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.
All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected.

pm_qos_update_request_timeout() updates a qos and then schedules
a delayed work item to bring the qos back down to the default
after the timeout. When the work item runs, pm_qos_work_fn() will
call pm_qos_update_request() and deadlock because it tries to
cancel itself via cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Future callers of
that qos will also hang waiting to cancel the work that is
canceling itself. Let's extract the little bit of code that does
the real work of pm_qos_update_request() and call it from the
work function so that we don't deadlock.
Before ed1ac6e (PM: don't use [delayed_]work_pending()) this didn't
happen because the work function wouldn't try to cancel itself.

This is only theoretical, but after try_to_wake_up(p) was changed
to check p->state under p->pi_lock the code like
__set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
schedule();
can miss a signal. This is the special case of wait-for-condition,
it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does
not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending).
However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical
section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes
another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with
"if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section.
The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before
spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already
does by the same reason.
We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(),
for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change
the default implementation.
While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers.
Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for
prepare_to_wait().

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Oleg Nesterov has been working hard in closing all the holes that can
lead to race conditions between deleting an event and accessing an
event debugfs file. This included a fix to the debugfs system (acked
by Greg Kroah-Hartman). We think that all the holes have been patched
and hopefully we don't find more. I haven't marked all of them for
stable because I need to examine them more to figure out how far back
some of the changes need to go.
Along the way, some other fixes have been made. Alexander Z Lam fixed
some logic where the wrong buffer was being modifed.
Andrew Vagin found a possible corruption for machines that actually
allocate cpumask, as a reference to one was being zeroed out by
mistake.
Dhaval Giani found a bad prototype when tracing is not configured.
And I not only had some changes to help Oleg, but also finally fixed a
long standing bug that Dave Jones and others have been hitting, where
a module unload and reload can cause the function tracing accounting

Some of my configs I test with have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set.
When I started testing against v3.11-rc4 my console went bonkers. Using
ktest to bisect the issue, it came down to:
commit bbeddf52a "printk: move braille console support into separate
braille.[ch] files"
Looking into the patch I found the problem. It's with the return of
braille_register_console(). As anything other than NULL is considered a
failure.
But for those of us that have CONFIG_A11Y_BRAILLE_CONSOLE set but do not
define a "brl" or "brl=" on the command line, we still may want a
console that those with sight can still use.
Return NULL (success) if "brl" or "brl=" is not on the console line.

This reverts commit fab840fc2d.
This commit even has the test-case to prove that the tracee
can be killed by SIGTRAP if the debugger does not remove the
breakpoints before PTRACE_DETACH.
However, this is exactly what wineserver deliberately does,
set_thread_context() calls PTRACE_ATTACH + PTRACE_DETACH just
for PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR*) in between.
So we should revert this fix and document that PTRACE_DETACH
should keep the breakpoints.

unshare_userns(new_cred) does *new_cred = prepare_creds() before
create_user_ns() which can fail. However, the caller expects that
it doesn't need to take care of new_cred if unshare_userns() fails.
We could change the single caller, sys_unshare(), but I think it
would be more clean to avoid the side effects on failure, so with
this patch unshare_userns() does put_cred() itself and initializes
*new_cred only if create_user_ns() succeeeds.

Fixed two issues with changing the timestamp clock with trace_clock:
- The global buffer was reset on instance clock changes. Change this to pass
the correct per-instance buffer
- ftrace_now() is used to set buf->time_start in tracing_reset_online_cpus().
This was incorrect because ftrace_now() used the global buffer's clock to
return the current time. Change this to use buffer_ftrace_now() which
returns the current time for the correct per-instance buffer.
Also removed tracing_reset_current() because it is not used anywhere

tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains
a comment about that, but it doesn't help.
The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is
snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed.
The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to
cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was
converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask.
Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read
from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed.
The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe
can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

as requested by Jeremy Eder.
- The recent patches that made the freezer less heavy-weight introduced
a regression causing user-space-driven hibernation using the ioctl()
interface to block indefinitely when the hibernate process executes
try_to_freeze(). Fix from Colin Cross addresses this by adding a
process flag to mark the hibernate/suspend process to inform the
freezer that that process should be ignored.
- One of the recent cpufreq reverts uncovered a problem in the core
causing the cpufreq driver module refcount to become negative after a
system suspend-resume cycle. Fix from Rafael J Wysocki.
- The evaluation of the ACPI battery _BIX method has never worked

take the "Revision" field in the return package into account. As a
result, the reading of battery info doesn't work at all on some
systems, which is addressed by a fix from Lan Tianyu.
