There are a few patches in here that are outside of the staging area, namely HID and IIO patches, but all of them have been acked by the relevant subsystem maintainers. The IIO stuff is still coming in through this tree as it hasn't entirely moved out of the staging tree, but is almost there. Other than that, there wa a ton of work on the comedi drivers to make them more readable and the correct style. Doing that removed a lot of code, but we added a new driver to the staging tree, so we didn't end up with a net reduction this time around: 662 files changed, 51649 insertions(+), 26582 deletions(-) All of these patches have been in the linux-next tree already.

Here I deprecate (but still support) the "at25,*" properties, and add what I hope is a better alternative. These new bindings also happen to be deployed in the field and were previously submitted for consideration here: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/devicetree-discuss/2012-May/015556.html The advantages of the new bindings are that they are similar to the I2C EEPROMs and they don't conflate read-only and the address width modes in a binary encoded blob.

This patch adds the MMU definitions for the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is 2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration. PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no run-time code patching at this stage). On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are 512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping. Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an additional level of translation tables. The SPARSEMEM configuration is global to all AArch64 platforms and allows for 1GB sections with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled by default.

In particular, not if we unplug CPUs to return to a single cpu. Paul McKenney points out: mean offline overhead is 6251/48=130.2 milliseconds. If I remove the alternatives_smp_switch() from the offline path [...] the mean offline overhead is 550/42=13.1 milliseconds Basically, we're never going to get those 120ms back, and the code is pretty messy. We get rid of: 1) The "smp-alt-once" boot option. It's actually "smp-alt-boot", the documentation is wrong. It's now the default. 2) The skip_smp_alternatives flag used by suspend. 3) arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_begin() and arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_end() which were only used to set this one flag.

'idle RCU': Adds RCU APIs that allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode and provides x86 code to make use of them, allowing RCU to treat user-mode execution as an extended quiescent state when the new RCU_USER_QS kernel configuration parameter is specified. (Work is in progress to port this to a few other architectures, but is not part of this series.) 1. A fix for a latent bug that has been in RCU ever since the addition of CPU stall warnings. This bug results in false-positive stall warnings, but thus far only on embedded systems with severely cut-down userspace configurations. 2. Further reductions in latency spikes for huge systems, along with additional boot-time adaptation to the actual hardware. This is a large change, as it moves RCU grace-period initialization and cleanup, along with quiescent-state forcing, from softirq to a kthread. However, it appears to be in quite good shape (famous last words). 3. Updates to documentation and rcutorture, the latter category including keeping statistics on CPU-hotplug latencies and fixing some initialization-time races. 4. CPU-hotplug fixes and improvements. 5. Idle-loop fixes that were omitted on an earlier submission. 6. Miscellaneous fixes and improvements In certain RCU configurations new kernel threads will show up (rcu_bh, rcu_sched), showing RCU processing overhead. * 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (90 commits) rcu: Apply micro-optimization and int/bool fixes to RCU's idle handling rcu: Userspace RCU extended QS selftest x86: Exit RCU extended QS on notify resume x86: Use the new schedule_user API on userspace preemption rcu: Exit RCU extended QS on user preemption rcu: Exit RCU extended QS on kernel preemption after irq/exception x86: Exception hooks for userspace RCU extended QS x86: Unspaghettize do_general_protection() x86: Syscall hooks for userspace RCU extended QS rcu: Switch task's syscall hooks on context switch rcu: Ignore userspace extended quiescent state by default rcu: Allow rcu_user_enter()/exit() to nest rcu: Settle config for userspace extended quiescent state rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ handle adaptive ticks rcu: New rcu_user_enter_after_irq() and rcu_user_exit_after_irq() APIs rcu: New rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit() APIs ia64: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop xtensa: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop score: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop parisc: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop ...

Situations requiring a large number of grace periods to elapse (and wireshark startup has been called out as an example of this) are helped by lower-latency grace periods. Furthermore, in some embedded applications, people are willing to accept a small degradation in update efficiency (due to there being more of the shorter grace-period operations) in order to gain the lower latency. In contrast, those few systems with thousands of CPUs need longer grace periods because the CPU overhead of a grace period rises roughly linearly with the number of CPUs. Such systems normally do not make much use of facilities that require large numbers of grace periods to elapse, so this is a good tradeoff. Therefore, this commit allows the durations to be controlled from sysfs. There are two sysfs parameters, one named "jiffies_till_first_fqs" that specifies the delay in jiffies from the end of grace-period initialization until the first attempt to force quiescent states, and the other named "jiffies_till_next_fqs" that specifies the delay (again in jiffies) between subsequent attempts to force quiescent states. They both default to three jiffies, which is compatible with the old hard-coded behavior. At some future time, it may be possible to automatically increase the grace-period length with the number of CPUs, but we do not yet have sufficient data to do a good job. Preliminary data indicates that we should add an addiitonal jiffy to each of the delays for every 200 CPUs in the system, but more experimentation is needed. For now, the number of systems with more than 1,000 CPUs is small enough that this can be relegated to boot-time hand tuning. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
