Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to
timespec_valid in commit 4e8b14526c ("time: Improve sanity checking of
timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused
timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid.
Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would
never expire, which is valid.
This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new
timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes
internal checking to use this more strict function.

The new omap4 cpuidle implementation currently requires
ARCH_NEEDS_CPU_IDLE_COUPLED, which only works on SMP.
This patch makes it possible to build a non-SMP kernel
for that platform. This is not normally desired for
end-users but can be useful for testing.
Without this patch, building rand-0y2jSKT results in:
drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c: In function 'cpuidle_coupled_poke':
drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c:317:3: error: implicit declaration of function '__smp_call_function_single' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
It's not clear if this patch is the best solution for
the problem at hand. I have made sure that we can now
build the kernel in all configurations, but that does
not mean it will actually work on an OMAP44xx.

"A couple weeks of bug fixing in there. The largest chunk is all the

Instead we attach an empty (zero) SCM credential block which is
definitely not what we want. Fix from Eric Dumazet.

Jim Schutt reported a problem that pointed at compaction contending
heavily on locks. The workload is straight-forward and in his own words;
The systems in question have 24 SAS drives spread across 3 HBAs,
running 24 Ceph OSD instances, one per drive. FWIW these servers
are dual-socket Intel 5675 Xeons w/48 GB memory. I've got ~160
Ceph Linux clients doing dd simultaneously to a Ceph file system
backed by 12 of these servers.
Early in the test everything looks fine

There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.
commit [b2eef8c0: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.
This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
does not need to schedule.

If a packet is emitted on one socket in one group of fanout sockets,
it is transmitted again. It is thus read again on one of the sockets
of the fanout group. This result in a loop for software which
generate packets when receiving one.
This retransmission is not the intended behavior: a fanout group
must behave like a single socket. The packet should not be
transmitted on a socket if it originates from a socket belonging
to the same fanout group.
This patch fixes the issue by changing the transmission check to
take fanout group info account.

Macro for_each_child_of_node() makes it easy to iterate over all of the
children for a given device tree node, including those nodes that are
marked as unavailable (i.e. status = "disabled").
Introduce for_each_available_child_of_node(), which is like
for_each_child_of_node(), but it automatically skips unavailable nodes.
This also requires the introduction of helper function
of_get_next_available_child(), which returns the next available child
node.
