      x86/mce: Fix RCU lockdep splats · f56e8a07
      Paul E. McKenney authored 
      

Create an rcu_dereference_check_mce() that checks for RCU-sched
read side and mce_read_mutex being held on update side.  Replace
uses of rcu_dereference() in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c
with this new macro.

      rcu: Increase RCU CPU stall timeouts if PROVE_RCU · 007b0924
      Paul E. McKenney authored 
      

CONFIG_PROVE_RCU imposes additional overhead on the kernel, so
increase the RCU CPU stall timeouts in an attempt to allow for
this effect.

      ftrace: Replace read_barrier_depends() with rcu_dereference_raw() · 3f379b03
      Paul E. McKenney authored 
      

Replace the calls to read_barrier_depends() in
ftrace_list_func() with rcu_dereference_raw() to improve
readability.  The reason that we use rcu_dereference_raw() here
is that removed entries are never freed, instead they are simply
leaked.  This is one of a very few cases where use of
rcu_dereference_raw() is the long-term right answer.  And I
don't yet know of any others.  ;-)

      rcu: Suppress RCU lockdep warnings during early boot · 54dbf96c
      Paul E. McKenney authored 
      

RCU is used during very early boot, before RCU and lockdep have
been initialized.  So make the underlying primitives
(rcu_read_lock_held(), rcu_read_lock_bh_held(),
rcu_read_lock_sched_held(), and rcu_dereference_check()) check
for early boot via the rcu_scheduler_active flag.  This will
suppress false positives.

Also introduce a debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() static inline
helper function, which tags the CONTINUE_PROVE_RCU case as
likely(), as suggested by Ingo Molnar.

      rcu: Suppress __mpol_dup() false positive from RCU lockdep · 99ee4ca7
      Paul E. McKenney authored 
      

Common code is used during task creation and after the task has
started running.  RCU protection is not needed during task
creation because no other CPU has access to the
under-construction task.  Provide the RCU protection anyway to
suppress the false positive, as there does not appear to be a
good way for the common code to recognize that the task is only
accessible to the CPU creating it.

      Paul E. McKenney authored 
      

It is apparently legal to invoke task_subsys_state() without RCU
protection during early boot time.  After all, there are no
concurrent tasks, so there can be no grace periods completing
concurrently.

But this does need an Acked-by from the cgroups folks.

      m68k: Define sigcontext ABI of ColdFire · 00ebfe58
      Maxim Kuvyrkov authored 
      

The following patch defines sigcontext ABI of ColdFire.  Due to ISA
restrictions ColdFire needs different rt_sigreturn trampoline.

And due to ColdFire FP registers being 8-bytes instead of 12-bytes on
m68k, sigcontext and fpregset structures should be updated.

Regarding the sc_fpstate[16+6*8] field, it would've been enough 16
bytes to store ColdFire's FP state.  To accomodate GLIBC's libSegFault
it would'be been enough 6*8 bytes (room for the 6 non-call-clobbered
FP registers).  I set it to 16+6*8 to provide some extra space for any
future changes in the ColdFire FPU.
