Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.

This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in
  regard to the s390 architecture.  It is a bit bigger than usual,
  mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches.

  The interesting bits are:
   - Quite a bit of work on the tracing front.  Uprobes is enabled and
     the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
     back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
   - To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the
     IPTE range facility is added.
   - The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be
     able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
   - The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.
   - The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this
     will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process.
   - Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration.
   - The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP
     domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used.
   - Bug fixes"

s390/nohz: use a per-cpu flag for arch_needs_cpu

Move the nohz_delay bit from the s390_idle data structure to the
per-cpu flags. Clear the nohz delay flag in __cpu_disable and
remove the cpu hotplug notifier that used to do this.

nohz: nohz full depends on irq work self IPI support

2014-09-13T16:46:41+00:00

The nohz full functionality depends on IRQ work to trigger its own
interrupts. As it's used to restart the tick, we can't rely on the tick
fallback for irq work callbacks, ie: we can't use the tick to restart
the tick itself.

Lets reject the full dynticks initialization if that arch support isn't
available.

As a side effect, this makes sure that nohz kick is never called from
the tick. That otherwise would result in illegal hrtimer self-cancellation
and lockup.

nohz: Consolidate nohz full init code

2014-09-13T16:46:40+00:00

The supports for CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y and the nohz_full= kernel
parameter both have their own way to do the same thing: allocate
full dynticks cpumasks, fill them and initialize some state variables.

Lets consolidate that all in the same place.

While at it, convert some regular printk message to warnings when
fundamental allocations fail.

nohz: Restore NMI safe local irq work for local nohz kick

2014-09-04T20:35:59+00:00

The local nohz kick is currently used by perf which needs it to be
NMI-safe. Recent commit though (7d1311b93e58ed55f3a31cc8f94c4b8fe988a2b9)
changed its implementation to fire the local kick using the remote kick
API. It was convenient to make the code more generic but the remote kick
isn't NMI-safe.

As a result:

nohz: Avoid tick's double reprogramming in highres mode

2014-08-22T16:47:35+00:00

In highres mode, the tick reschedules itself unconditionally to the
next jiffies.

However while this clock reprogramming is relevant when the tick is
in periodic mode, it's not that interesting when we run in dynticks mode
because irq exit is likely going to overwrite the next tick to some
randomly deferred future.

So lets just get rid of this tick self rescheduling in dynticks mode.
This way we can avoid some clockevents double write in favourable
scenarios like when we stop the tick completely in idle while no other
hrtimer is pending.
