       "This is the block driver pull request for 3.18.  Not a lot in there
        this round, and nothing earth shattering.
      
         - A round of drbd fixes from the linbit team, and an improvement in
           asender performance.
      
         - Removal of deprecated (and unused) IRQF_DISABLED flag in rsxx and
           hd from Michael Opdenacker.
      
         - Disable entropy collection from flash devices by default, from Mike
           Snitzer.

       "This is the core block IO pull request for 3.18.  Apart from the new
        and improved flush machinery for blk-mq, this is all mostly bug fixes
        and cleanups.
      
         - blk-mq timeout updates and fixes from Christoph.
      
         - Removal of REQ_END, also from Christoph.  We pass it through the
           ->queue_rq() hook for blk-mq instead, freeing up one of the request
           bits.  The space was overly tight on 32-bit, so Martin also killed
           REQ_KERNEL since it's no longer used.
      
         - blk integrity updates and fixes from Martin and Gu Zheng.
      
         - Update to the flush machinery for blk-mq from Ming Lei.  Now we
           have a per hardware context flush request, which both cleans up the
           code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq.
      
         - Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott.
      
         - Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun.
      
         - Fixup of a misplaced rq_complete() tracepoint from Hannes.
      
         - Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues
           where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing.  From Joe
           Lawrence.
      
         - Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm
           devices from Junichi Nomura.  This allows creating clone bio sets
           without preallocating a lot of memory.
      
         - Fix a blk-mq hang on certain combinations of queue depths and
           hardware queues from me.
      
         - Limit memory consumption for blk-mq devices for crash dump
           scenarios and drivers that use crazy high depths (certain SCSI
           shared tag setups).  We now just use a single queue and limited
           depth for that"

      x86,kvm,vmx: Preserve CR4 across VM entry · d974baa3
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      
      
      CR4 isn't constant; at least the TSD and PCE bits can vary.
      
      TBH, treating CR0 and CR3 as constant scares me a bit, too, but it looks
      like it's correct.
      
      This adds a branch and a read from cr4 to each vm entry.  Because it is
      extremely likely that consecutive entries into the same vcpu will have
      the same host cr4 value, this fixes up the vmcs instead of restoring cr4
      after the fact.  A subsequent patch will add a kernel-wide cr4 shadow,
      reducing the overhead in the common case to just two memory reads and a
      branch.

      futex: Ensure get_futex_key_refs() always implies a barrier · 76835b0e
      Catalin Marinas authored
      Commit b0c29f79 (futexes: Avoid taking the hb->lock if there's
      nothing to wake up) changes the futex code to avoid taking a lock when
      there are no waiters. This code has been subsequently fixed in commit
      11d4616b
      
       (futex: revert back to the explicit waiter counting code).
      Both the original commit and the fix-up rely on get_futex_key_refs() to
      always imply a barrier.
      
      However, for private futexes, none of the cases in the switch statement
      of get_futex_key_refs() would be hit and the function completes without
      a memory barrier as required before checking the "waiters" in
      futex_wake() -> hb_waiters_pending(). The consequence is a race with a
      thread waiting on a futex on another CPU, allowing the waker thread to
      read "waiters == 0" while the waiter thread to have read "futex_val ==
      locked" (in kernel).
      
      Without this fix, the problem (user space deadlocks) can be seen with
      Android bionic's mutex implementation on an arm64 multi-cluster system.
