9465efc9e9 Remove BKL from remote_llseek v2
- Replace remote_llseek with generic_file_llseek_unlocked (to force compilation
failures in all users)
- Change all users to either use generic_file_llseek_unlocked directly or
take the BKL around. I changed the file systems who don't use the BKL
for anything (CIFS, GFS) to call it directly. NCPFS and SMBFS and NFS
take the BKL, but explicitely in their own source now.

I moved them all over in a single patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Open problem: 32bit kernels can corrupt fpos because its modification
is not atomic, but they can do that anyways because there's other paths who
modify it without BKL.

Do we need a special lock for the pos/f_version = 0 checks?

Trond says the NFS BKL is likely not needed, but keep it for now
until his full audit.

v2: Use generic_file_llseek_unlocked instead of remote_llseek_unlocked
    and factor duplicated code (suggested by hch)

8e29da9ee8 i2c: Fix bad hint about irqs in i2c.h
i2c.h mentions -1 as a not-issued irq. This false hint was taken by
of_i2c and caused crashes. Don't give any advice as 'no irq' is not
consistent across all architectures yet and it is not needed internally
by the i2c-core.

18ce3751cc Properly notify block layer of sync writes
fsync_buffers_list() and sync_dirty_buffer() both issue async writes and
then immediately wait on them. Conceptually, that makes them sync writes
and we should treat them as such so that the IO schedulers can handle
them appropriately.

This patch fixes a write starvation issue that Lin Ming reported, where
xx is stuck for more than 2 minutes because of a large number of
synchronous IO in the system:

"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this

251a4b320f net/inet_lro: remove setting skb->ip_summed when not LRO-able
When an SKB cannot be chained to a session, the current code attempts
to "restore" its ip_summed field from lro_mgr->ip_summed. However,
lro_mgr->ip_summed does not hold the original value; in fact, we'd
better not touch skb->ip_summed since it is not modified by the code
in the path leading to a failure to chain it.  Also use a cleaer
comment to the describe the ip_summed field of struct net_lro_mgr.

1bdad60633 [GFS2] Remove remote lock dropping code
There are several reasons why this is undesirable:

 1. It never happens during normal operation anyway
 2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor
 3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage
    on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve
 4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be
    correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems
    to be a black art.
 5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually
    contribute to solving the problem on average.

So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging
the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier.

3d44223327 Add generic helpers for arch IPI function calls
This adds kernel/smp.c which contains helpers for IPI function calls. In
addition to supporting the existing smp_call_function() in a more efficient
manner, it also adds a more scalable variant called smp_call_function_single()

The core of this is based on the x86-64 patch from Nick Piggin, lots of
changes since then. "Alan D. Brunelle" <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> has

06e0564566 KVM: close timer injection race window in __vcpu_run
If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before
local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such
timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit.

It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done
with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen.

For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.

3da757daf8 x86: use cpu_khz for loops_per_jiffy calculation
On the x86 platform we can use the value of tsc_khz computed during tsc
calibration to calculate the loops_per_jiffy value. Its very important
to keep the error in lpj values to minimum as any error in that may
result in kernel panic in check_timer. In virtualization environment, On
a highly overloaded host the guest delay calibration may sometimes
result in errors beyond the ~50% that timer_irq_works can handle,
resulting in the guest panicking.

Does some formating changes to lpj_setup code to now have a single
printk to print the bogomips value.

We do this only for the boot processor because the AP's can have
different base frequencies or the BIOS might boot a AP at a different
frequency.

ecea656d1d ftrace: freeze kprobe'd records
Let records identified as being kprobe'd be marked as "frozen". The trouble
with records which have a kprobe installed on their mcount call-site is
that they don't get updated. So if such a function which is currently being
traced gets its tracing disabled due to a new filter rule (or because it
was added to the notrace list) then it won't be updated and continue being
traced. This patch allows scanning of all frozen records during tracing to
check if they should be traced.

of get_kprobe to identify probes installed on mcount call-sites.

395a59d0f8 ftrace: store mcount address in rec->ip
Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64
record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some
general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables
looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.

71c2742f5e Add return value to reserve_bootmem_node()
This patch changes the function reserve_bootmem_node() from void to int,
returning -ENOMEM if the allocation fails.

This fixes a build problem on x86 with CONFIG_KEXEC=y and
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y
