Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are fixes mostly (ia64 regression related to the ACPI
  enumeration of devices, cpufreq regressions, fix for I2C controllers
  included in Intel SoCs, mvebu cpuidle driver fix related to sysfs)
  plus additional kernel command line arguments from Kees to make it
  possible to build kernel images with hibernation and the kernel
  address space randomization included simultaneously, a new ACPI
  battery driver quirk for a system with a broken BIOS and a couple of
  ACPI core cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Fix for an ia64 regression introduced during the 3.11 cycle by a
     commit that modified the hardware initialization ordering and made
     device discovery fail on some systems.

   - Fix for a build problem on systems where the cpufreq-cpu0 driver is
     built-in and the cpu-thermal driver is modular from Arnd Bergmann.

   - Fix for a recently introduced computational mistake in the
     intel_pstate driver that leads to excessive rounding errors from
     Doug Smythies.

   - Fix for a failure code path in cpufreq_update_policy() that fails
     to unlock the locks acquired previously from Aaron Plattner.

   - Fix for the cpuidle mvebu driver to use shorter state names which
     will prevent the sysfs interface from returning mangled strings.
     From Gregory Clement.

   - ACPI LPSS driver fix to make sure that the I2C controllers included
     in BayTrail SoCs are not held in the reset state while they are
     being probed from Mika Westerberg.

   - New kernel command line arguments making it possible to build
     kernel images with hibernation and kASLR included at the same time
     and to select which of them will be used via the command line (they
     are still functionally mutually exclusive, though).  From Kees
     Cook.

   - ACPI battery driver quirk for Acer Aspire V5-573G that fails to
     send battery status change notifications timely from Alexander
     Mezin.

   - Two ACPI core cleanups from Christoph Jaeger and Fabian Frederick"

To support using kernel features that are not compatible with hibernation,
this creates the "nohibernate" kernel boot parameter to disable both
hibernation and resume. This allows hibernation support to be a boot-time
choice instead of only a compile-time choice.

<title>rtmutex: Plug slow unlock race</title>
<updated>2014-06-16T08:03:09+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Thomas Gleixner</name>
<email>tglx@linutronix.de</email>
</author>
<published>2014-06-11T18:44:04+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=27e35715df54cbc4f2d044f681802ae30479e7fb'/>
<id>27e35715df54cbc4f2d044f681802ae30479e7fb</id>
<content type='text'>
When the rtmutex fast path is enabled the slow unlock function can
create the following situation:

spin_lock(foo-&gt;m-&gt;wait_lock);
foo-&gt;m-&gt;owner = NULL;
	    			rt_mutex_lock(foo-&gt;m); &lt;-- fast path
				free = atomic_dec_and_test(foo-&gt;refcnt);
				rt_mutex_unlock(foo-&gt;m); &lt;-- fast path
				if (free)
				   kfree(foo);

spin_unlock(foo-&gt;m-&gt;wait_lock); &lt;--- Use after free.

Plug the race by changing the slow unlock to the following scheme:

     while (!rt_mutex_has_waiters(m)) {
     	    /* Clear the waiters bit in m-&gt;owner */
	    clear_rt_mutex_waiters(m);
      	    owner = rt_mutex_owner(m);
      	    spin_unlock(m-&gt;wait_lock);
      	    if (cmpxchg(m-&gt;owner, owner, 0) == owner)
      	       return;
      	    spin_lock(m-&gt;wait_lock);
     }

So in case of a new waiter incoming while the owner tries the slow
path unlock we have two situations:

 unlock(wait_lock);
					lock(wait_lock);
 cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) == owner
 	    	   			mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);
	 				acquire(lock);

Or:

 unlock(wait_lock);
					lock(wait_lock);
	 				mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);
 cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) != owner
					enqueue_waiter();
					unlock(wait_lock);
 lock(wait_lock);
 wakeup_next waiter();
 unlock(wait_lock);
					lock(wait_lock);
					acquire(lock);

If the fast path is disabled, then the simple

   m-&gt;owner = NULL;
   unlock(m-&gt;wait_lock);

is sufficient as all access to m-&gt;owner is serialized via
m-&gt;wait_lock;

Also document and clarify the wakeup_next_waiter function as suggested
by Oleg Nesterov.

This essentially reverts commit:

  ecd50f714c42 ("kprobes, x86: Call exception_enter after kprobes handled")

since it causes build errors with CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING and
that has been made from misunderstandings;
context_track_user_*() don't involve much in interrupt context,
it just returns if in_interrupt() is true.

Instead of changing the do_debug/int3(), this just adds
context_track_user_*() to kprobes blacklist, since those are
still can be called right before kprobes handles int3 and debug
exceptions, and probing those will cause an infinite loop.

Pull tracing cleanups and bugfixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "One bug fix that goes back to 3.10.  Accessing a non existent buffer
  if "possible cpus" is greater than actual CPUs (including offline
  CPUs).

  Namhyung Kim did some reviews of the patches I sent this merge window
  and found a memory leak and had a few clean ups"

* tag 'trace-3.16-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
  tracing: Fix check of ftrace_trace_arrays list_empty() check
  tracing: Fix leak of per cpu max data in instances
  tracing: Cleanup saved_cmdlines_size changes
  ring-buffer: Check if buffer exists before polling
