Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "Highlights:

   - AMD KFD driver merge

     This is the AMD HSA interface for exposing a lowlevel interface for
     GPGPU use.  They have an open source userspace built on top of this
     interface, and the code looks as good as it was going to get out of
     tree.

   - Initial atomic modesetting work

     The need for an atomic modesetting interface to allow userspace to
     try and send a complete set of modesetting state to the driver has
     arisen, and been suffering from neglect this past year.  No more,
     the start of the common code and changes for msm driver to use it
     are in this tree.  Ongoing work to get the userspace ioctl finished
     and the code clean will probably wait until next kernel.

   - DisplayID 1.3 and tiled monitor exposed to userspace.

     Tiled monitor property is now exposed for userspace to make use of.

   - Rockchip drm driver merged.

   - imx gpu driver moved out of staging

  Other stuff:

   - core:
        panel - MIPI DSI + new panels.
        expose suggested x/y properties for virtual GPUs

   - i915:
        Initial Skylake (SKL) support
        gen3/4 reset work
        start of dri1/ums removal

   - nouveau:
        tegra k1 voltage support
        GM204 modesetting support
        GT21x memory reclocking work

   - radeon:
        CI dpm fixes
        GPUVM improvements
        Initial DPM fan control

   - rcar-du:

uprobes: share the i_mmap_rwsem

2014-12-13T20:42:45+00:00

Both register and unregister call build_map_info() in order to create the
list of mappings before installing or removing breakpoints for every mm
which maps file backed memory.  As such, there is no reason to hold the
i_mmap_rwsem exclusively, so share it and allow concurrent readers to
build the mapping data.

mm: convert i_mmap_mutex to rwsem

2014-12-13T20:42:45+00:00

The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting
similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory.  To
this end, this lock can also be a rwsem.  In addition, there are some
important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree
modifications.

This conversion is straightforward.  For now, all users take the write
lock.

perf: Fix events installation during moving group

2014-12-11T10:24:15+00:00

We allow PMU driver to change the cpu on which the event
should be installed to. This happened in patch:

  e2d37cd213dc ("perf: Allow the PMU driver to choose the CPU on which to install events")

This patch also forces all the group members to follow
the currently opened events cpu if the group happened
to be moved.

This and the change of event->cpu in perf_install_in_context()
function introduced in:

  0cda4c023132 ("perf: Introduce perf_pmu_migrate_context()")

forces group members to change their event->cpu,
if the currently-opened-event's PMU changed the cpu
and there is a group move.

Above behaviour causes problem for breakpoint events,
which uses event->cpu to touch cpu specific data for
breakpoints accounting. By changing event->cpu, some
breakpoints slots were wrongly accounted for given
cpu.

Vinces's perf fuzzer hit this issue and caused following
WARN on my setup:

   WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 20214 at arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:119 arch_install_hw_breakpoint+0x142/0x150()
   Can't find any breakpoint slot
   [...]

This patch changes the group moving code to keep the event's
original cpu.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2014-12-11T00:10:49+00:00

Pull VFS changes from Al Viro:
 "First pile out of several (there _definitely_ will be more).  Stuff in
  this one:

   - unification of d_splice_alias()/d_materialize_unique()

   - iov_iter rewrite

   - killing a bunch of ->f_path.dentry users (and f_dentry macro).

     Getting that completed will make life much simpler for
     unionmount/overlayfs, since then we'll be able to limit the places
     sensitive to file _dentry_ to reasonably few.  Which allows to have
     file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry
     pointing to (negative) dentry in union one.

     Still not complete, but much closer now.

   - crapectomy in lustre (dead code removal, mostly)

   - "let's make seq_printf return nothing" preparations

   - assorted cleanups and fixes

  There _definitely_ will be more piles"

Pull perf events update from Ingo Molnar:
 "On the kernel side there's few changes, the one that stands out is
  PEBS machine state sampling support on x86, by Stephane Eranian.

  On the tooling side:

  User visible tooling changes:

   - Don't open the DWARF info multiple times, keeping instead a dwfl
     handle in struct dso, greatly speeding up 'perf report' on powerpc.
     (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

   - Introduce PARSE_OPT_DISABLED option flag and use it to avoid
     showing undersired options in tools that provides frontends to
     'perf record', like sched, kvm, etc (Namhyung Kim)

   - Fallback to kallsyms when using the minimal 'ELF' loader (Arnaldo
     Carvalho de Melo)

   - Fix annotation with kcore (Adrian Hunter)

   - Support source line numbers in annotate using a hotkey (Andi Kleen)

   - Callchain improvements including:
     * Enable printing the srcline in the history
     * Make get_srcline fall back to sym+offset (Andi Kleen)

   - TUI hist_entry browser fixes, including showing missing overhead
     value for first level callchain.  Detected comparing the output of
     --stdio/--gui (that matched) with --tui, that had this problem.
     (Namhyung Kim)

   - Support handling complete branch stacks as histograms (Andi Kleen)

  Tooling infrastructure changes:

   - Prep work for supporting per-pkg and snapshot counters in 'perf
     stat' (Jiri Olsa)

   - 'perf stat' refactorings, moving stuff from it to evsel.c to use in
     per-pkg/snapshot format changes (Jiri Olsa)

   - Add per-pkg format file parsing (Matt Fleming)

   - Clean up libelf feature support code (Namhyung Kim)

   - Add gzip decompression support for kernel modules (Namhyung Kim)

   - More prep patches for Intel PT, including a a thread stack and more
     stuff made available via the database export mechanism (Adrian
     Hunter)

   - More Intel PT work, including a facility to export sample data
     (comms, threads, symbol names, etc) in a database friendly way,
     with an script to use this to create a postgresql database.
     (Adrian Hunter)

   - Make sure that thread->mg->machine points to the machine where the
     thread exists (it was being set only for the kmaps kernel modules
     case, do it as well for the mmaps) and use it to shorten function
     signatures (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  ... and lots of other fixes and smaller improvements"
