Pull RCU, perf, and scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar.
The RCU fix is a revert for an optimization that could cause deadlocks.
One of the scheduler commits (164c33c6ad "sched: Fix fork() error path
to not crash") is correct but not complete (some architectures like Tile
are not covered yet) - the resulting additional fixes are still WIP and
Ingo did not want to delay these pending fixes. See this thread on

have observed.
But there is no point in delaying the other 4 commits which achieve
full correctness into 3.6 as they are tagged for stable anyway. And I
rather prefer to have the full fixes merged in bulk than a "prevent

memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but
memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the
old range for reserved.regions.
Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this.
| I don't think we're saving any noticeable
| amount by doing this "free - give it to page allocator - reserve
| again" dancing. We should just allocate regions aligned to page
| boundaries and free them later when memblock is no longer in use.
in that case, when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, will get panic:
memblock_free: [0x0000102febc080-0x0000102febf080] memblock_free_reserved_regions+0x37/0x39

After commit f5bf18fa22 ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint
in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed
outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if
there is space available in that section. This results in unnecessary
hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the
section holding the usemap.
The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear
search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a
much higher address absent an upper limit.
Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end,
then retry without if that fails. This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa22
of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but
still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.

To finally fix the infamous leap second issue and other race windows
caused by functions which change the offsets between the various time
bases (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME) we need a
function which atomically gets the current monotonic time and updates
the offsets of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME with minimalistic
overhead. The previous patch which provides ktime_t offsets allows us
to make this function almost as cheap as ktime_get() which is going to
be replaced in hrtimer_interrupt().

clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because
it calls on_each_cpu().
For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to
call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which
does the timekeeping updates.
Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base
structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer
softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from
softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is
rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.

rid of all this ifdeffery ASAP ]

suspend/resume cycle
- Check for NULL platform data in sta-2x11 driver
- Constrain selection of the V1 MSM GPIO driver to applicable platforms

- Make sure the correct output value is set in the wm8994 driver
- Export devm_gpio_request_one() so it can be used in modules.

Quite a few ASUS computers experience a nasty problem, related to the
EHCI controllers, when going into system suspend. It was observed
that the problem didn't occur if the controllers were not put into the
D3 power state before starting the suspend, and commit
151b612847 (USB: EHCI: fix crash during
suspend on ASUS computers) was created to do this.
It turned out this approach messed up other computers that didn't have
the problem -- it prevented USB wakeup from working. Consequently
commit c2fb8a3fa2 (USB: add
NO_D3_DURING_SLEEP flag and revert 151b612847) was merged; it
reverted the earlier commit and added a whitelist of known good board
names.
Now we know the actual cause of the problem. Thanks to AceLan Kao for
tracking it down.
According to him, an engineer at ASUS explained that some of their
BIOSes contain a bug that was added in an attempt to work around a
problem in early versions of Windows. When the computer goes into S3
suspend, the BIOS tries to verify that the EHCI controllers were first
quiesced by the OS. Nothing's wrong with this, but the BIOS does it
by checking that the PCI COMMAND registers contain 0 without checking
the controllers' power state. If the register isn't 0, the BIOS
assumes the controller needs to be quiesced and tries to do so. This
involves making various MMIO accesses to the controller, which don't
work very well if the controller is already in D3. The end result is
a system hang or memory corruption.
Since the value in the PCI COMMAND register doesn't matter once the
controller has been suspended, and since the value will be restored
anyway when the controller is resumed, we can work around the BIOS bug
simply by setting the register to 0 during system suspend. This patch
(as1590) does so and also reverts the second commit mentioned above,
which is now unnecessary.
In theory we could do this for every PCI device. However to avoid
introducing new problems, the patch restricts itself to EHCI host
controllers.
Finally the affected systems can suspend with USB wakeup working
properly.

fill_result_tf() grabs the taskfile flags from the originating qc which
sas_ata_qc_fill_rtf() promptly overwrites. The presence of an
ata_taskfile in the sata_device makes it tempting to just copy the full
contents in sas_ata_qc_fill_rtf(). However, libata really only wants
the fis contents and expects the other portions of the taskfile to not
be touched by ->qc_fill_rtf. To that end store a fis buffer in the
sata_device and use ata_tf_from_fis() like every other ->qc_fill_rtf()
implementation.

Thanks to Charles Wang for spotting the defects in the current code:
- If we go idle during the sample window -- after sampling, we get a
negative bias because we can negate our own sample.
- If we wake up during the sample window we get a positive bias
because we push the sample to a known active period.
So rewrite the entire nohz load-avg muck once again, now adding
copious documentation to the code.
