Before this patch we would patch all of the pv_lock_ops sites
using alternative assembler. Then later in the bootup cycle
change the unlock_kick and lock_spinning to the Xen specific -
without re patching.
That meant that for the core of the kernel we would be running
with the baremetal version of unlock_kick and lock_spinning while
for modules we would have the proper Xen specific slowpaths.
As most of the module uses some API from the core kernel that ended
up with slowpath lockers waiting forever to be kicked (b/c they
would be using the Xen specific slowpath logic). And the
kick never came b/c the unlock path that was taken was the
baremetal one.
On PV we do not have the problem as we initialise before the
alternative code kicks in.
The fix is to make the updating of the pv_lock_ops function
be done before the alternative code starts patching.
Note that this patch fixes issues discovered by commit
f10cd522c5fbfec9ae3cc01967868c9c2401ed23.
("xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM") wherein it mentioned
PV spinlocks cannot possibly work with the current code because they are
enabled after pvops patching has already been done, and because PV
spinlocks use a different data structure than native spinlocks so we
cannot switch between them dynamically.
The first problem is solved by this patch.
The second problem has been solved by commit
816434ec4a674fcdb3c2221a6dffdc8f34020550
(Merge branch 'x86-spinlocks-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip)
P.S.
There is still the commit 70dd4998cb85f0ecd6ac892cc7232abefa432efb
(xen/spinlock: Disable IRQ spinlock (PV) allocation on PVHVM) to
revert but that can be done later after all other bugs have been
fixed.

The xen_lock_spinning has a check for the kicker interrupts
and if it is not initialized it will spin normally (not enter
the slowpath).
But for PVHVM case we would initialize the kicker interrupt
before the CPU came online. This meant that if the booting
CPU used a spinlock and went in the slowpath - it would
enter the slowpath and block forever. The forever part because
during bootup: the spinlock would be taken _before_ the CPU
sets itself to be online (more on this further), and we enter
to poll on the event channel forever.
The bootup CPU (see commit fc78d343fa74514f6fd117b5ef4cd27e4ac30236
"xen/smp: initialize IPI vectors before marking CPU online"
for details) and the CPU that started the bootup consult
the cpu_online_mask to determine whether the booting CPU should
get an IPI. The booting CPU has to set itself in this mask via:
set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true);
However, if the spinlock is taken before this (and it is) and
it polls on an event channel - it will never be woken up as
the kernel will never send an IPI to an offline CPU.
Note that the PVHVM logic in sending IPIs is using the HVM
path which has numerous checks using the cpu_online_mask
and cpu_active_mask. See above mention git commit for details.

When linux is running as dom0, Xen doesn't show the physical cpu but a
virtual CPU.
On some ARM SOC (for instance the exynos 5250), linux registers callbacks
for cpuidle and cpufreq. When these callbacks are called, they will modify
directly the physical cpu not the virtual one. It can impact the whole board
instead of only dom0.

m2p_remove_override() calls get_balloon_scratch_page() in
MULTI_update_va_mapping() even though it already has pointer to this page from
the earlier call (in scratch_page). This second call doesn't have a matching
put_balloon_scratch_page() thus not restoring preempt count back. (Also, there
is no put_balloon_scratch_page() in the error path.)
In addition, the second multicall uses __xen_mc_entry() which does not disable

multicalls.

When reconnecting to automounts at startup an autofs ioctl is used
to find the device and inode of existing mounts so they can be used
to open a file descriptor of possibly covered mounts.
At this time the the caller might not yet "own" the mount so it can
trigger calling ->d_automount(). This causes automount to hang when
trying to reconnect to direct or offset mount types.
Consequently kern_path() can't be used but kern_path_mountpoint() can be.

This is the fix that the last two commits indirectly led up to - making
sure that we don't call dput() in a bad context on the dentries we've
looked up in RCU mode after the sequence count validation fails.
This basically expands d_rcu_to_refcount() into the callers, and then
fixes the callers to delay the dput() in the failure case until _after_
we've dropped all locks and are no longer in an RCU-locked region.
The case of 'complete_walk()' was trivial, since its failure case did
the unlock_rcu_walk() directly after the call to d_rcu_to_refcount(),
and as such that is just a pure expansion of the function with a trivial
movement of the resulting dput() to after 'unlock_rcu_walk()'.
In contrast, the unlazy_walk() case was much more complicated, because
not only does convert two different dentries from RCU to be reference
counted, but it used to not call unlock_rcu_walk() at all, and instead
just returned an error and let the caller clean everything up in
"terminate_walk()".
Happily, one of the dentries in question (called "parent" inside
unlazy_walk()) is the dentry of "nd->path", which terminate_walk() wants
a refcount to anyway for the non-RCU case.
So what the new and improved unlazy_walk() does is to first turn that
dentry into a refcounted one, and once that is set up, the error cases
can continue to use the terminate_walk() helper for cleanup, but for the
non-RCU case. Which makes it possible to drop out of RCU mode if we
actually hit the sequence number failure case.

This simplifies the RCU to refcounting code in particular.
I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through
all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput()
"might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak. And I removed it as
misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging.
However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final
dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are
releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()). So the
problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it
was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting
case.
In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen
to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then
lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file. But because it's
a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice.
Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit
15570086b590: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using
lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does
it under the RCU lock. So potentially sleeping really is a bug.
But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated
"lockref_get_or_lock()" interface. And rather than revert to the old
and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by
delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be
safe), let's make forward progress.

This is me being a bit OCD after all the dentry optimization work this
merge window: profiles end up showing 'dput()' as a rather expensive
operation, and there were two unrelated bad reasons for that.
The first reason was reading d_lockref.count for debugging purposes,
which touches the lockref cacheline (for reads) before really need to.
More importantly, the debugging test in question is _wrong_, and has
hidden bugs. It's true that we can only sleep when the count goes down
to zero, but the test as-is hides the much more subtle bug that happens
if we race with somebody else deleting the file.
Anyway we _will_ touch that cacheline, but let's do it for a write and
in the right routine (ie in "lockref_put_or_lock()") which annotates the
costs better. So remove the misleading debug code.
The other was an unnecessary access to the cacheline that contains the
d_lru list, just to check whether we already were on the LRU list or
not. This is exactly what we have d_flags for, so that we can avoid
touching extra cache lines for the common case. So just add another bit
for "is this dentry on the LRU".
Finally, mark the tests properly likely/unlikely, so that the common
fast-paths are dense in the instruction stream.
This makes the profiles look much saner.

The only actual current lockref user (dcache) uses zero reference counts
even for perfectly live dentries, because it's a cache: there may not be
any users, but that doesn't mean that we want to throw away the dentry.
At the same time, the dentry cache does have a notion of a truly "dead"
dentry that we must not even increment the reference count of, because
we have pruned it and it is not valid.
Currently that distinction is not visible in the lockref itself, and the
dentry cache validation uses "lockref_get_or_lock()" to either get a new
reference to a dentry that already had existing references (and thus
cannot be dead), or get the dentry lock so that we can then verify the
dentry and increment the reference count under the lock if that
verification was successful.
That's all somewhat complicated.
This adds the concept of being "dead" to the lockref itself, by simply
using a count that is negative. This allows a usage scenario where we
can increment the refcount of a dentry without having to validate it,
and pushing the special "we killed it" case into the lockref code.
The dentry code itself doesn't actually use this yet, and it's probably
too late in the merge window to do that code (the dentry_kill() code
with its "should I decrement the count" logic really is pretty complex
code), but let's introduce the concept at the lockref level now.

Commit 97431204ea005ec8070ac94bc3251e836daa7ca7 introduced a regression
that causes SECINFO_NO_NAME to fail without sending an RPC if:
1) the nfs_client's rpc_client is using krb5i/p (now tried by default)
2) the current user doesn't have valid kerberos credentials
This situation is quite common - as of now a sec=sys mount would use
krb5i for the nfs_client's rpc_client and a user would hardly be faulted
for not having run kinit.
The solution is to use the machine cred when trying to use an integrity
protected auth flavor for SECINFO_NO_NAME.
Older servers may not support using the machine cred or an integrity
protected auth flavor for SECINFO_NO_NAME in every circumstance, so we fall
back to using the user's cred and the filesystem's auth flavor in this case.
We run into another problem when running against linux nfs servers -
they return NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC when using integrity auth flavor (unless the
mount is also that flavor) even though that is not a valid error for
SECINFO*. Even though it's against spec, handle WRONGSEC errors on
SECINFO_NO_NAME by falling back to using the user cred and the
filesystem's auth flavor.

Pull namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is an assorted mishmash of small cleanups, enhancements and bug
fixes.
The major theme is user namespace mount restrictions. nsown_capable
is killed as it encourages not thinking about details that need to be
considered. A very hard to hit pid namespace exiting bug was finally
tracked and fixed. A couple of cleanups to the basic namespace
infrastructure.
Finally there is an enhancement that makes per user namespace
capabilities usable as capabilities, and an enhancement that allows
the per userns root to nice other processes in the user namespace"

userns: Allow PR_CAPBSET_DROP in a user namespace.

pidns: Fix hang in zap_pid_ns_processes by sending a potentially extra wakeup
sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs
userns: Better restrictions on when proc and sysfs can be mounted
vfs: Don't copy mount bind mounts of /proc/<pid>/ns/mnt between namespaces

What is the point of having a 'auth_flavor_len' field, if it is
always set to 1, and can't be used to determine if the user has
selected an auth flavour?
This cleanup goes back to using auth_flavor_len for its original
intended purpose, and gets rid of the ad-hoc replacements.

This reverts commits 61e00655e9cb, 73f8645db191 and 8e22ecb603c8:
"Input: introduce BTN/ABS bits for drums and guitars"
"HID: wiimote: add support for Guitar-Hero drums"
"HID: wiimote: add support for Guitar-Hero guitars"
The extra new ABS_xx values resulted in ABS_MAX no longer being a
power-of-two, which broke the comparison logic. It also caused the
ioctl numbers to overflow into the next byte, causing problems for that.
We'll try again for 3.13.
