      ARM: multi_v7_defconfig: Enable shmobile platforms · 4a3a6f86
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored
      
      
      Enable support for shmobile platforms that became multi-platform aware.
      Several non-critical drivers and subsystems are built as modules, to keep
      kernel size reasonable.
      
      Tested on:
        - r8a73a4/ape6evm:
            - U-Boot fails with "Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID",
            - kexec works.
        - r8a7740/armadillo:
            - Hermit boot loader fails (larger image, more memory corruption),
            - kexec works.
        - r8a7791/koelsch,
        - sh73a0/kzm9g:
            - zImage+DTB from U-Boot needs CONFIG_ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT=n,
            - kexec works.
        - am335x/boneblack.

      arm64: Add L2 cache topology to ARM Ltd boards/models · 7934d69a
      Sudeep Holla authored
      
      
      Commit 5d425c18 ("arm64: kernel: add support for cpu cache
      information") adds cacheinfo support for ARM64. Since there's no
      architectural way of detecting the cpus that share particular cache,
      device tree can be used and the core cacheinfo already supports the
      same.
      
      This patch adds the L2 cache topology on Juno board, FVP/RTSM and
      foundation models.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      .. after extensive statistical analysis of my G+ polling, I've come to
      the inescapable conclusion that internet polls are bad.
      
      Big surprise.
      
      But "Hurr durr I'ma sheep" trounced "I like online polls" by a 62-to-38%
      margin, in a poll that people weren't even supposed to participate in.
      Who can argue with solid numbers like that? 5,796 votes from people who
      can't even follow the most basic directions?
      
      In contrast, "v4.0" beat out "v3.20" by a slimmer margin of 56-to-44%,
      but with a total of 29,110 votes right now.
      
      Now, arguably, that vote spread is only about 3,200 votes, which is less
      than the almost six thousand votes that the "please ignore" poll got, so
      it could be considered noise.
      
      But hey, I asked, so I'll honor the votes.

      As it is, we have debugfs_remove() racing with symlink traversals.
      Supply ->evict_inode() and do freeing there - inode will remain
      pinned until we are done with the symlink body.
      
      And rip the idiocy with checking if dentry is positive right after
      we'd verified debugfs_positive(), which is a stronger check...

      trylock_super(): replacement for grab_super_passive() · eb6ef3df
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored
      
      
      I've noticed significant locking contention in memory reclaimer around
      sb_lock inside grab_super_passive(). Grab_super_passive() is called from
      two places: in icache/dcache shrinkers (function super_cache_scan) and
      from writeback (function __writeback_inodes_wb). Both are required for
      progress in memory allocator.
      
      Grab_super_passive() acquires sb_lock to increment sb->s_count and check
      sb->s_instances. It seems sb->s_umount locked for read is enough here:
      super-block deactivation always runs under sb->s_umount locked for write.
      Protecting super-block itself isn't a problem: in super_cache_scan() sb
      is protected by shrinker_rwsem: it cannot be freed if its slab shrinkers
      are still active. Inside writeback super-block comes from inode from bdi
      writeback list under wb->list_lock.
      
      This patch removes locking sb_lock and checks s_instances under s_umount:
      generic_shutdown_super() unlinks it under sb->s_umount locked for write.
      New variant is called trylock_super() and since it only locks semaphore,
      callers must call up_read(&sb->s_umount) instead of drop_super(sb) when
      they're done.

       (1) Cachefiles mostly wants to use d_can_lookup() rather than d_is_dir() as
           it doesn't want to deal with automounts in its cache.

      VFS: (Scripted) Convert S_ISLNK/DIR/REG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_*(dentry) · e36cb0b8
      David Howells authored
      
      
      Convert the following where appropriate:
      
       (1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).
      
       (2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).
      
       (3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry).  This is actually more
           complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
           d_can_lookup() instead.  The difference is whether the directory in
           question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
           a ->d_automount op.
      
      In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
      NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
      d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
      use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).
      
      Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
      DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
      manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer.  In such a
      case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
      type of the lower dentry.
      
      However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
      the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.
      
      There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
      DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE.  Strictly, this was
      intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.
      
      The following perl+coccinelle script was used:

      VFS: Split DCACHE_FILE_TYPE into regular and special types · 44bdb5e5

      Split DCACHE_FILE_TYPE into DCACHE_REGULAR_TYPE (dentries representing regular
      files) and DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE (representing blockdev, chardev, FIFO and

      d_is_reg() and d_is_special() are added to detect these subtypes and
      d_is_file() is left as the union of the two.
      
      This allows a number of places that use S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode->i_mode) to
      use d_is_reg(dentry) instead.

      VFS: Add a fallthrough flag for marking virtual dentries · df1a085a
      David Howells authored
      
      
      Add a DCACHE_FALLTHRU flag to indicate that, in a layered filesystem, this is
      a virtual dentry that covers another one in a lower layer that should be used
      instead.  This may be recorded on medium if directory integration is stored
      there.
      
      The flag can be set with d_set_fallthru() and tested with d_is_fallthru().

      VFS: Add a whiteout dentry type · e7f7d225
      David Howells authored
      
      
      Add DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE and provide a d_is_whiteout() accessor function.  A
      d_is_miss() accessor is also added for ordinary cache misses and
      d_is_negative() is modified to indicate either an ordinary miss or an enforced
      miss (whiteout).
