5ca62d6503 revert "cpumask: don't perform while loop in cpumask_next_and()"
Revert commit 534b483a86 ("cpumask: don't perform while loop in
cpumask_next_and()").

This was a minor optimization, but it puts a `struct cpumask' on the
stack, which consumes too much stack space.

Pull more MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
 "Another round of 4.1 MIPS fixes, one fix to a MIPS-specific #if
  condition in lib/mpi, one fix to the MIPS GIC irqchip driver and one
  SSB fix.

  Details:
   - fix handling of clock in chipco SSB driver.
   - fix two MIPS-specific #if conditions to correctly work for GCC 5.1.
   - fix damage to R6 pgtable bits done by XPA support.
   - fix possible crash due to unloading modules that contain statically
     defined platform devices.
   - fix disabling of the MSA ASE on context switch to also work
     correctly when a new thread/process has the CPU for the very first
     time.

  This is part of linux-next and has been beaten to death on
  Imagination's test farm.

  While things are not looking too grim this pull request also means the
  rate of fixes for 4.1 remains nearly constant so I'd not be unhappy if
  you'd delay the release"

80188b0d77 percpu_counter: batch size aware __percpu_counter_compare()
XFS uses non-stanard batch sizes for avoiding frequent global
counter updates on it's allocated inode counters, as they increment
or decrement in batches of 64 inodes. Hence the standard percpu
counter batch of 32 means that the counter is effectively a global
counter. Currently Xfs uses a batch size of 128 so that it doesn't
take the global lock on every single modification.

However, Xfs also needs to compare accurately against zero, which
means we need to use percpu_counter_compare(), and that has a
hard-coded batch size of 32, and hence will spuriously fail to
detect when it is supposed to use precise comparisons and hence
the accounting goes wrong.

Add __percpu_counter_compare() to take a custom batch size so we can
use it sanely in XFS and factor percpu_counter_compare() to use it.

f36963c9d3 cpumask_set_cpu_local_first => cpumask_local_spread, lament
da91309e0a (cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu...) created a
genuinely weird function.  I never saw it before, it went through DaveM.
(He only does this to make us other maintainers feel better about our own
mistakes.)

cpumask_set_cpu_local_first's purpose is say "I need to spread things
across N online cpus, choose the ones on this numa node first"; you call
it in a loop.

It can fail.  One of the two callers ignores this, the other aborts and
fails the device open.

It can fail in two ways: allocating the off-stack cpumask, or through a
convoluted codepath which AFAICT can only occur if cpu_online_mask
changes.  Which shouldn't happen, because if cpu_online_mask can change
while you call this, it could return a now-offline cpu anyway.

It contains a nonsensical test "!cpumask_of_node(numa_node)".  This was
drawn to my attention by Geert, who said this causes a warning on Sparc.
It sets a single bit in a cpumask instead of returning a cpu number,
because that's what the callers want.

It could be made more efficient by passing the previous cpu rather than
an index, but that would be more invasive to the callers.

07ee0722bf rhashtable: Add cap on number of elements in hash table
We currently have no limit on the number of elements in a hash table.
This is a problem because some users (tipc) set a ceiling on the
maximum table size and when that is reached the hash table may
degenerate.  Others may encounter OOM when growing and if we allow
insertions when that happens the hash table perofrmance may also
suffer.

This patch adds a new paramater insecure_max_entries which becomes
the cap on the table.  If unset it defaults to max_size * 2.  If
it is also zero it means that there is no cap on the number of
elements in the table.  However, the table will grow whenever the
utilisation hits 100% and if that growth fails, you will get ENOMEM
on insertion.

As allowing oversubscription is potentially dangerous, the name
contains the word insecure.

Note that the cap is not a hard limit.  This is done for performance
reasons as enforcing a hard limit will result in use of atomic ops
that are heavier than the ones we currently use.

The reasoning is that we're only guarding against a gross over-
subscription of the table, rather than a small breach of the limit.

  lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store elimination

7829fb09a2 lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store elimination
In commit 0b053c9518 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead
of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in
case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually
find out it could be elimiated as dead store.

While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts
from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc,
and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example
that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset().
A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report,
which is regarded as not-a-bug.

Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it
doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own
implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm.

The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested
with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current
kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better
to be pedantic about it.

It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we
would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing,
not so with barrier_data() variant:

  static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
  {
    memset(s, 0, count);
    barrier_data(s);
  }

  int main(void)
  {
    char buff[20];
    memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
    return 0;
  }

As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define
this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise
unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which
does not support gcc inline asm.

   - RAID5/6 stripe cache now grows and shrinks dynamically.  The value

   - Resync is now allowed to go a little faster than the 'mininum' when

a87b9ebf17 rhashtable: Do not schedule more than one rehash if we can't grow further
The current code currently only stops inserting rehashes into the
chain when no resizes are currently scheduled. As long as resizes
are scheduled and while inserting above the utilization watermark,
more and more rehashes will be scheduled.

This lead to a perfect DoS storm with thousands of rehashes
scheduled which lead to thousands of spinlocks to be taken
sequentially.

Instead, only allow either a series of resizes or a single rehash.
Drop any further rehashes and return -EBUSY.

e2307ed6cb rhashtable: Schedule async resize when sync realloc fails
When rhashtable_insert_rehash() fails with ENOMEM, this indicates that
we can't allocate the necessary memory in the current context but the
limits as set by the user would still allow to grow.

Thus attempt an async resize in the background where we can allocate
using GFP_KERNEL which is more likely to succeed. The insertion itself
will still fail to indicate pressure.

This fixes a bug where the table would never continue growing once the
utilization is above 100%.

db4fd9c5d0 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc
Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:

 1) ldc_alloc_exp_dring() can be called from softints, so use
    GFP_ATOMIC.  From Sowmini Varadhan.

 2) Some minor warning/build fixups for the new iommu-common code on
    certain archs and with certain debug options enabled.  Also from
    Sowmini Varadhan.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc:
  sparc: Use GFP_ATOMIC in ldc_alloc_exp_dring() as it can be called in softirq context
  sparc64: Use M7 PMC write on all chips T4 and onward.
  iommu-common: rename iommu_pool_hash to iommu_hash_common
  iommu-common: fix x86_64 compiler warnings

a582564b24 md/raid6 algorithms: xor_syndrome() for SSE2
The second and (last) optimized XOR syndrome calculation. This version
supports right and left side optimization. All CPUs with architecture
older than Haswell will benefit from it.

It should be noted that SSE2 movntdq kills performance for memory areas
that are read and written simultaneously in chunks smaller than cache
line size. So use movdqa instead for P/Q writes in sse21 and sse22 XOR
functions.
