git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux
Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"There is only one new feature in this pull for the 4.4 merge window,
most of it is small enhancements, cleanup and bug fixes:
- Add the s390 backend for the software dirty bit tracking. This
adds two new pgtable functions pte_clear_soft_dirty and
pmd_clear_soft_dirty which is why there is a hit to
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h in this pull request.
- A series of cleanup patches for the AP bus, this includes the
removal of the support for two outdated crypto cards (PCICC and
PCICA).
- The irq handling / signaling on buffer full in the runtime
instrumentation code is dropped.
- Some micro optimizations: remove unnecessary memory barriers for a
couple of functions: [smb_]rmb, [smb_]wmb, atomics, bitops, and for
spin_unlock. Use the builtin bswap if available and make
test_and_set_bit_lock more cache friendly.
- Statistics and a tracepoint for the diagnose calls to the
hypervisor.
- The CPU measurement facility support to sample KVM guests is
improved.
- The vector instructions are now always enabled for user space
processes if the hardware has the vector facility. This simplifies
the FPU handling code. The fpu-internal.h header is split into fpu
internals, api and types just like x86.
- Cleanup and improvements for the common I/O layer.
- Rework udelay to solve a problem with kprobe. udelay has busy loop
semantics but still uses an idle processor state for the wait"

cio_validate_io_subchannel() and cio_validate_msg_subchannel() are
identical, as the called functions already take care about the
differences between subchannel types.
Just inline the code into the only user,
cio_validate_subchannel(), instead.

Path verification is either done via dasd_eckd_read_conf() which is
triggered during online processing and resume or via
do_path_verification_work() which is triggered after path events.
The dasd_eckd_read_conf() version added paths unconditionally and did
not check if the path mask was empty. This led to devices having the
disconnected stop flag set but a valid path mask. So they where not
working although they had paths validated successfully. After a resume
this state could even not be solved with additional paths added.
Fix by checking for an empty path mask in dasd_eckd_read_conf() and
clearing the device stop bits for a newly added channel path.

For a valid PAV assignment the DASD driver needs to notice possibly
changed configuration data. Thus the failing of read configuration
data should also fail the device restore to prevent invalid PAV
assignment. The failed device may get restored after additional paths
get available later on.
If the restore fails after the device was added to the lcu alias
handling it needs to be removed from the alias handling before exiting
the restore function.

The configuration data is stored per path and also the first valid
configuration data per device. When dasd_eckd_read_conf is called
again after a path got lost the device configuration data is cleared
but possibly not the per path configuration data. This might lead to a
double free when the lost path gets operational again.
Fix by clearing all per path configuration data when the first valid
configuration data is received and stored.

Remove all the casts to and from the machine check interruption code.
This patch changes struct mci to a union, which contains an anonymous

A summary unit check occurs when the lcu updates the PAV configuration
e.g. base PAV assignment or PAV mode at all. This requires the reset
of the drivers internal pavgroups. Therefore the alias devices are
flushed and moved via a temporary list to the active_devices list
where they are not associated with a pavgroup. In conjunction with
updates to the base device the pavgroup may be removed since both
base_list and alias_list are empty. Unfortunately during alias flush
and move to the active_device list from alias_list the pavgroup
pointer is not deleted in the device private structure. This leads to
a list del_corruption if another lcu_update tries to move the device
in the non existent pavgroup.
Fix by removing the pavgroup pointer after the alias device was moved
to the active_devices list.

If a AP device is removed while messages are still pending, the requests
are cancelled by calling the message receive function with an error pointer
for the reply. The message type receive handler recognize this and create
a fake hardware error TYPE82_RSP_CODE / REP82_ERROR_MACHINE_FAILURE.
The message with the hardware error then causes a printk and a return
code of -EAGAIN.

The sclp console and tty code currently uses several message text

Devices with active channel measurement are included in a list. When a
device is removed without deactivating channel measurement first the
list_head is freed but still used. Fix this by making sure that
channel measurement is deactivated during device deregistration.
For devices that we deregister because they are no longer accessible
deactivating channel measurement will fail. In this case we can report
success because the FW will no longer access the measurement block.
In addition to these steps keep an extra device reference while
channel measurement is active.

We were able to reduce the CPU overhead of big paging scenarios
when announcing our paging disks as non-rotational.
Almost all dasd devices are implemented in storage servers with
cache, raid, striping and lots of magic. There is no point in
optimizing the disk schedulers and swap code for a single platter
moving arm rotational disks. Given the complexity of the setup
and the fact that this change is mostly to disable the additional
overhead in swap code, lets keep the other functionality unchanged
and do not disable the this device as entropy source - unlike other
non-rotational devices.

The existing implementation is inefficient for lists with

and then registers the current MAC address list.
This patch changes implementation of ndo_set_rx_mode callback

registered addresses are kept in a hashtable instead of a

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

Pull locking and atomic updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes in this cycle are:
- Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
(atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
(atomic_{set,clear}_mask())
The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
architectures and with incomplete support. Now every architecture
supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)
- Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':
- _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
- atomic_read_acquire()
- atomic_set_release()
This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)
- Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
by introducing a new one:
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);
which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.
Then allow:
static_branch_likely()
static_branch_unlikely()
to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
case. To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it
in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra)
- Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron)
- qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long)
- small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso)
- ... and misc other changes"

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/<dev>/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->bi_error changes from Christoph.
- Small blk cgroup cleanup from Viresh Kumar"

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"The big one is support for fake NUMA, splitting a really large machine
in more manageable piece improves performance in some cases, e.g. for
a KVM host.
The FICON Link Incident handling has been improved, this helps the
operator to identify degraded or non-operational FICON connections.
The save and restore of floating point and vector registers has been
overhauled to allow the future use of vector registers in the kernel.
A few small enhancement, magic sys-requests for the vt220 console via
SCLP, some more assembler code has been converted to C, the PCI error
handling is improved.
And the usual cleanup and bug fixing"

None of the implementations currently use it. The common
bdev_direct_access() entry point handles all the size checks before
calling ->direct_access().

Implement magic sysrequest handling for the VT220 terminal (also known as
the Integrated ASCII console on the HMC/SE).
To invoke a "magic sysrequest" function, press "Ctrl+o" followed by a
second character that designates the debugging function.
The handling of the sysrq is scheduled away from the SCLP IRQ context;
because large amounts of sysrq output might fill up the console buffers.
The console might deadlock because it cannot empty the buffers while still
in the receiving IRQ context. This behavior is the same as for the SCLP
console.

Extract the sysrq handling from the ctrlchar_handle() into a separate
function that can be directly used by other users.
Introduce a new sysrq_work structure to embed the work_struct and to
specify the magic sysrq function to be invoked.
