Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
"Nothing too disasterous, the biggest thing being the removal of the
regulator support for vcore in the AMBA driver; only one SoC was using
this and it got broken during the last merge window, which then
started causing problems for other people. Mutual agreement was
reached for it to be removed."

GCC's NULL is actually __null, which allows detecting some questionable
NULL usage and warn about it. Moreover each platform/compiler should
have its own stddef.h anyway (which is different from linux/stddef.h).
So there's no good reason to leak kernel's NULL to userspace and
override what the compiler provides.

Pull block core bits from Jens Axboe:
"It's a nice and quiet round this time, since most of the tricky stuff
has been pushed to 3.5 to give it more time to mature. After a few
hectic block IO core changes for 3.3 and 3.2, I'm quite happy with a
slow round.
Really minor stuff in here, the only real functional change is making
the auto-unplug threshold a per-queue entity. The threshold is set so
that it's low enough that we don't hold off IO for too long, but still
big enough to get a nice benefit from the batched insert (and hence
queue lock cost reduction). For raid configurations, this currently
breaks down."

Retry loops on RT might loop forever when the modifying side was
preempted. Add cpu_chill() to replace cpu_relax(). cpu_chill()
defaults to cpu_relax() for non RT. On RT it puts the looping task to
sleep for a tick so the preempted task can make progress.

raise_softirq_irqoff() disables interrupts and wakes the softirq
daemon, but after reenabling interrupts there is no preemption check,
so the execution of the softirq thread might be delayed arbitrarily.
In principle we could add that check to local_irq_enable/restore, but
that's overkill as the rasie_softirq_irqoff() sections are the only
ones which show this behaviour.

Currently the RT version of the lglocks() does a for_each_online_cpu()
in the name##_global_lock_online() functions. Non-rt uses its own
mask for this, and for good reason.
A task may grab a *_global_lock_online(), and in the mean time, one
of the CPUs goes offline. Now when that task does a *_global_unlock_online()
it releases all the locks *except* the one that went offline.
Now if that CPU were to come back on line, its lock is now owned by a
task that never released it when it should have.
This causes all sorts of fun errors. Like owners of a lock no longer
existing, or sleeping on IO, waiting to be woken up by a task that
happens to be blocked on the lock it never released.
Convert the RT versions to use the lglock specific cpumasks. As once
a CPU comes on line, the mask is set, and never cleared even when the
CPU goes offline. The locks for that CPU will still be taken and released.

If a low prio writer gets preempted while holding the seqlock write
locked, a high prio reader spins forever on RT.
To prevent this let the reader grab the spinlock, so it blocks and
eventually boosts the writer. This way the writer can proceed and
endless spinning is prevented.
For seqcount writers we disable preemption over the update code
path. Thaanks to Al Viro for distangling some VFS code to make that
possible.

Add a CONFIG option to allow the output from Magic SysRq to be output
immediately, even if this causes large latencies.
If PREEMPT_RT_FULL, printk() will not try to acquire the console lock
when interrupts or preemption are disabled. If the console lock is
not acquired the printk() output will be buffered, but will not be
output immediately. Some drivers call into the Magic SysRq code
with interrupts or preemption disabled, so the output of Magic SysRq
will be buffered instead of printing immediately if this option is
not selected.
Even with this option selected, Magic SysRq output will be delayed
if the attempt to acquire the console lock fails.

In fact, with migrate_disable() existing one could play games with
kmap_atomic. You could save/restore the kmap_atomic slots on context
switch (if there are any in use of course), this should be esp easy now
that we have a kmap_atomic stack.
Something like the below.. it wants replacing all the preempt_disable()
stuff with pagefault_disable() && migrate_disable() of course, but then
you can flip kmaps around like below.

To work around this in the short term you can use this patch, in
addition to the clocksource watchdog patch that Thomas brewed up.
Comments are welcome of course. Ultimately the right solution is to
change separation between the console and the HW to have a polled mode
+ work queue so as not to introduce any kind of latency.
Thanks,

The current workqueue code does crazy stuff on cpu unplug, it relies on
forced affine breakage, thereby violating per-cpu expectations. Worse,
it tries to re-attach to a cpu if the thing comes up again before all
previously queued works are finished. This breaks (admittedly bonkers)
cpu-hotplug use that relies on a down-up cycle to push all usage away.
Introduce a new WQ_NON_AFFINE flag that indicates a per-cpu workqueue
will not respect cpu affinity and use this to migrate all its pending
works to whatever cpu is doing cpu-down.
This also adds a warning for queue_on_cpu() users which warns when its
used on WQ_NON_AFFINE workqueues for the API implies you care about
what cpu things are ran on when such workqueues cannot guarantee this.
For the rest, simply flush all per-cpu works and don't mess about.
This also means that currently all workqueues that are manually
flushing things on cpu-down in order to provide the per-cpu guarantee
no longer need to do so.
In short, we tell the WQ what we want it to do, provide validation for
this and loose ~250 lines of code.

Implementing RCU-bh in terms of RCU-preempt makes the system vulnerable
to network-based denial-of-service attacks. This patch therefore
makes __do_softirq() invoke rcu_bh_qs(), but only when __do_softirq()
is running in ksoftirqd context. A wrapper layer in interposed so that
other calls to __do_softirq() avoid invoking rcu_bh_qs(). The underlying
function __do_softirq_common() does the actual work.
The reason that rcu_bh_qs() is bad in these non-ksoftirqd contexts is
that there might be a local_bh_enable() inside an RCU-preempt read-side
critical section. This local_bh_enable() can invoke __do_softirq()
directly, so if __do_softirq() were to invoke rcu_bh_qs() (which just
calls rcu_preempt_qs() in the PREEMPT_RT_FULL case), there would be
an illegal RCU-preempt quiescent state in the middle of an RCU-preempt
read-side critical section. Therefore, quiescent states can only happen
in cases where __do_softirq() is invoked directly from ksoftirqd.

synchronize_rcu_bh() is not just called as a normal function, but can
also be referenced as a function pointer. When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL

The Linux kernel has long RCU-bh read-side critical sections that
intolerably increase scheduling latency under mainline's RCU-bh rules,
which include RCU-bh read-side critical sections being non-preemptible.
This patch therefore arranges for RCU-bh to be implemented in terms of
RCU-preempt for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y.
This has the downside of defeating the purpose of RCU-bh, namely,
handling the case where the system is subjected to a network-based
denial-of-service attack that keeps at least one CPU doing full-time
softirq processing. This issue will be fixed by a later commit.
The current commit will need some work to make it appropriate for
mainline use, for example, it needs to be extended to cover Tiny RCU.

This fixes the following build error for the preempt-rt kernel.
make kernel/fork.o
CC kernel/fork.o
kernel/fork.c:90: error: section of ¡tasklist_lock¢ conflicts with previous declaration
make[2]: *** [kernel/fork.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [kernel/fork.o] Error 2
The rt kernel cache aligns the RWLOCK in DEFINE_RWLOCK by default.
The non-rt kernels explicitly cache align only the tasklist_lock in
kernel/fork.c
That can create a build conflict. This fixes the build problem by making the
non-rt kernels cache align RWLOCKs by default. The side effect is that
the other RWLOCKs are also cache aligned for non-rt.
This is a short term solution for rt only.
The longer term solution would be to push the cache aligned DEFINE_RWLOCK
to mainline. If there are objections, then we could create a
DEFINE_RWLOCK_CACHE_ALIGNED or something of that nature.

The processing of softirqs in irq thread context is a performance gain
for the non-rt workloads of a system, but it's counterproductive for
interrupts which are explicitely related to the realtime
workload. Allow such interrupts to prevent softirq processing in their
thread context.

When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL is enabled, tasklets run as threads,
and spinlocks turn are mutexes. But this can cause issues with
tasks disabling tasklets. A tasklet runs under ksoftirqd, and
if a tasklets are disabled with tasklet_disable(), the tasklet
count is increased. When a tasklet runs, it checks this counter
and if it is set, it adds itself back on the softirq queue and
returns.
The problem arises in RT because ksoftirq will see that a softirq
is ready to run (the tasklet softirq just re-armed itself), and will
not sleep, but instead run the softirqs again. The tasklet softirq
will still see that the count is non-zero and will not execute
the tasklet and requeue itself on the softirq again, which will
cause ksoftirqd to run it again and again and again.
It gets worse because ksoftirqd runs as a real-time thread.
If it preempted the task that disabled tasklets, and that task
has migration disabled, or can't run for other reasons, the tasklet
softirq will never run because the count will never be zero, and
ksoftirqd will go into an infinite loop. As an RT task, it this
becomes a big problem.
This is a hack solution to have tasklet_disable stop tasklets, and
when a tasklet runs, instead of requeueing the tasklet softirqd
it delays it. When tasklet_enable() is called, and tasklets are
waiting, then the tasklet_enable() will kick the tasklets to continue.
This prevents the lock up from ksoftirq going into an infinite loop.

Make migrate_disable() be a preempt_disable() for !rt kernels. This
allows generic code to use it but still enforces that these code
sections stay relatively small.
A preemptible migrate_disable() accessible for general use would allow

get_online_cpus() is a heavy weight function which involves a global
mutex. migrate_disable() wants a simpler construct which prevents only
a CPU from going doing while a task is in a migrate disabled section.
Implement a per cpu lockless mechanism, which serializes only in the
real unplug case on a global mutex. That serialization affects only
tasks on the cpu which should be brought down.
