commit ceb75787bc75d0a7b88519ab8a68067ac690f55a upstream.

Make sure to drop the reference taken by class_find_device() after
opening the RTC device.

<title>PM / hibernate: Fix rtree_next_node() to avoid walking off list ends</title>

commit 924d8696751c4b9e58263bc82efdafcf875596a6 upstream.

rtree_next_node() walks the linked list of leaf nodes to find the next
block of pages in the struct memory_bitmap. If it walks off the end of
the list of nodes, it walks the list of memory zones to find the next
region of memory. If it walks off the end of the list of zones, it
returns false.

This leaves the struct bm_position's node and zone pointers pointing
at their respective struct list_heads in struct mem_zone_bm_rtree.

memory_bm_find_bit() uses struct bm_position's node and zone pointers
to avoid walking lists and trees if the next bit appears in the same
node/zone. It handles these values being stale.

Swap rtree_next_node()s 'step then test' to 'test-next then step',
this means if we reach the end of memory we return false and leave
the node and zone pointers as they were.

This fixes a panic on resume using AMD Seattle with 64K pages:

commit 62822e2ec4ad091ba31f823f577ef80db52e3c2c upstream.

Restore the processor state before calling any other functions to
ensure per-CPU variables can be used with KASLR memory randomization.

Tracing functions use per-CPU variables (GS based on x86) and one was
called just before restoring the processor state fully. It resulted
in a double fault when both the tracing &amp; the exception handler
functions tried to use a per-CPU variable.

commit 276142730c39c9839465a36a90e5674a8c34e839 upstream.

When suspending to RAM, waking up and later suspending to disk,
we gratuitously runtime resume devices after the thaw phase.
This does not occur if we always suspend to RAM or always to disk.

pm_complete_with_resume_check(), which gets called from
pci_pm_complete() among others, schedules a runtime resume
if PM_SUSPEND_FLAG_FW_RESUME is set. The flag is set during
a suspend-to-RAM cycle. It is cleared at the beginning of
the suspend-to-RAM cycle but not afterwards and it is not
cleared during a suspend-to-disk cycle at all. Fix it.

<title>mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM</title>

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep.  Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep.  The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake.  As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags.  This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

<title>mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd</title>

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

<title>PM / sleep: Add flags to indicate platform firmware involvement</title>

There are quite a few cases in which device drivers, bus types or
even the PM core itself may benefit from knowing whether or not
the platform firmware will be involved in the upcoming system power
transition (during system suspend) or whether or not it was involved
in it (during system resume).

For this reason, introduce global system suspend flags that can be
used by the platform code to expose that information for the benefit
of the other parts of the kernel and make the ACPI core set them
as appropriate.

Users of the new flags will be added later.

Add a sysfs attribute, /sys/power/pm_wakeup_irq, reporting the IRQ
number of the first wakeup interrupt (that is, the first interrupt
from an IRQ line armed for system wakeup) seen by the kernel during
the most recent system suspend/resume cycle.

This feature will be useful for system wakeup diagnostics of
spurious wakeup interrupts.

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This first core part of the block IO changes contains:

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to
     rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
     store the error in the bio itself.

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/&lt;dev&gt;/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

   - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
     the bio-&gt;bi_error changes from Christoph.

   - Small blk cgroup cleanup from Viresh Kumar"
