Disabling all runtime PM during system shutdown turns out not to be a
good idea, because some devices may need to be woken up from a
low-power state at that time.

The whole point of disabling runtime PM for system shutdown was to
prevent untimely runtime-suspend method calls.  This patch (as1504)
accomplishes the same result by incrementing the usage count for each
device and waiting for ongoing runtime-PM callbacks to finish.  This
is what we already do during system suspend and hibernation, which
makes sense since the shutdown method is pretty much a legacy analog
of the pm->poweroff method.

This fixes a recent regression on some OMAP systems introduced by
commit af8db150

 (PM / driver core:
disable device's runtime PM during shutdown).

Since 92fc43b4

, rtl8169_tx_timeout ends up
resetting Rx and Tx indexes and thus racing with the NAPI handler via
-> rtl8169_hw_reset
   -> rtl_hw_reset
      -> rtl8169_init_ring_indexes

What about returning to the original state ?

rtl_hw_reset is only used by rtl8169_hw_reset and rtl8169_init_one.

The latter does not need rtl8169_init_ring_indexes because the indexes
still contain their original values from the newly allocated network
device private data area (i.e. 0).

rtl8169_hw_reset is used by:
1. rtl8169_down
   Helper for rtl8169_close. rtl8169_open explicitely inits the indexes
   anyway.
2. rtl8169_pcierr_interrupt
   Indexes are set by rtl8169_reinit_task.
3. rtl8169_interrupt
   rtl8169_hw_reset is needed when the device goes down. See 1.
4. rtl_shutdown
   System shutdown handler. Indexes are irrelevant.
5. rtl8169_reset_task
   Indexes must be set before rtl_hw_start is called.
6. rtl8169_tx_timeout
   Indexes should not be set. This is the job of rtl8169_reset_task anyway.

The removal of rtl8169_hw_reset in rtl8169_tx_timeout and its move in
rtl8169_reset_task do not change the analysis.

Realtek has specified that the post 8168c gigabit chips and the post
8105e fast ethernet chips recover automatically from a Rx FIFO overflow.
The driver does not need to clear the RxFIFOOver bit of IntrStatus and
it should rather avoid messing it.

The implementation deserves some explanation:
1. events outside of the intr_event bit mask are now ignored. It enforces
   a no-processing policy for the events that either should not be there
   or should be ignored.

2. RxFIFOOver was already ignored in rtl_cfg_infos[RTL_CFG_1] for the
   whole 8168 line of chips with two exceptions:
   - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_22 since b5ba6d12


     ("use RxFIFO overflow workaround for 8168c chipset.").
     This one should now be correctly handled.
   - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 (8168b) which requires a different Rx FIFO
     overflow processing.

   Though it does not conform to Realtek suggestion above, the updated
   driver includes no change for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 and RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17.
   Both are 8168b. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 is common and a bit old so I'd rather
   wait for experimental evidence that the change suggested by Realtek really
   helps or does not hurt in unexpected ways.

   Removed case statements in rtl8169_interrupt are only 8168 relevant.

3. RxFIFOOver is masked for post 8105e 810x chips, namely the sole 8105e
   (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_30) itself.

A forced undef of a config value was used for testing and was
accidently left in during the final commit. This causes x86 to
run slower than needed while running function tracing as well
as causes the function graph selftest to fail when DYNMAIC_FTRACE

, which prevents event_subsystem from
ever being released.

Ref_count was added to keep track of subsystem users, not for counting
events.  Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to
increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that.  Fix this by
touching ref_count only when we actually have a new user -
subsystem_open().

If ipv4_valdiate_peer() fails during a cached entry lookup,
we'll NULL derer since the loop iterator assumes rth is not
NULL.

Letting this be handled as a failure is just bogus, so just make it
not fail.  If we have trouble getting a non-NULL neighbour for the
redirected gateway, just restore the original gateway and continue.

The very next use of this cached route will try again.

The problem is that in copy_page_range() we turn lazy mode on,
and then in swap_entry_free() we call swap_count_continued()
which ends up in:

         map = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0) + offset;

and then later we touch *map.

Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually
set up the PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done
synchronously and ends up trying to dereference a page that has
not been set.

Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn(), it uses
'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and doing the same in
kmap_atomic_prot() and __kunmap_atomic() makes the problem go
away.

Interestingly, commit b8bcfe99

 ("x86/paravirt: remove lazy
mode in interrupts") removed part of this to fix an interrupt
issue - but it went to far and did not consider this scenario.

code between the end of the WBINVD instruction and before the
MTRRS have actually been disabled may be retained in the cache
hierarchy. Here, to remove code from the cache completely, a
second WBINVD instruction must be executed after the MTRRs have
been disabled.

This patch provides resolution for that.

Ideally, I will like to make changes only for Pentium 4 and Xeon
processors. But, I am not finding easier way to do it.
And, extra wbinvd() instruction does not hurt much for other
processors.

Merge branch 'tip/perf/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace into perf/urgent

Recently, I got bitten by using rdmsr_safe too early in the boot
process. Document its shortcomings for future reference.

The microcode update driver's initialization code does not handle
failures correctly. This patch fixes this issue.
