<title>epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush -&gt;signalfd_wqh before kfree()</title>

commit d80e731ecab420ddcb79ee9d0ac427acbc187b4b upstream.

This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.

epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op-&gt;poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its -&gt;sighand
which is not connected to the file.

This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.

__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
-&gt;signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.

ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.

The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.

In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.

Note:

	- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
	  is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.

	- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
	  we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
	  make sure it can't be "lost".

<title>procfs: do not confuse jiffies with cputime64_t</title>

Commit 2a95ea6c0d129b4 ("procfs: do not overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time
for nohz") did not take into account that one some architectures jiffies
and cputime use different units.

This causes get_idle_time() to return numbers in the wrong units, making
the idle time fields in /proc/stat wrong.

Instead of converting the usec value returned by
get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us to units of jiffies, use the new function
usecs_to_cputime64 to convert it to the correct unit of cputime64_t.

This is the fifth version of the patchset (with one tiny whitespace fix)
to the Linux kernel to support the Qualcomm Hexagon architecture.

Between now and the next pull requests, Richard Kuo should have his key
signed, etc., and should be back on kernel.org.  In the meantime, this
got merged as a emailed patch-series.

* Hexagon: (36 commits)
  Add extra arch overrides to asm-generic/checksum.h
  Hexagon: Add self to MAINTAINERS
  Hexagon: Add basic stacktrace functionality for Hexagon architecture.
  Hexagon: Add configuration and makefiles for the Hexagon architecture.
  Hexagon: Comet platform support
  Hexagon: kgdb support files
  Hexagon: Add page-fault support.
  Hexagon: Add page table header files &amp; etc.
  Hexagon: Add ioremap support
  Hexagon: Provide DMA implementation
  Hexagon: Implement basic TLB management routines for Hexagon.
  Hexagon: Implement basic cache-flush support
  Hexagon: Provide basic implementation and/or stubs for I/O routines.
  Hexagon: Add user access functions
  Hexagon: Add locking types and functions
  Hexagon: Add SMP support
  Hexagon: Provide basic debugging and system trap support.
  Hexagon: Add ptrace support
  Hexagon: Add time and timer functions
  Hexagon: Add interrupts

There are plausible reasons for architectures to provide their own
versions of csum_partial_copy_nocheck and csum_tcpudp_magic.
By protecting these, the architecture can still re-use the
asm-generic checksum.h, instead of copying it.

On NOMMU architectures, if physical memory doesn't start from 0,
ARCH_PFN_OFFSET is defined to generate page index in mem_map array.
Because virtual address is equal to physical address, PAGE_OFFSET is
always 0.  virt_to_page and page_to_virt should not index page by
