Florian Fainelli b0ae009f3d net: phy: add "has_fixups" boolean property
Add a boolean property which indicates if the PHY has had any fixup
routine ran on it. We are later going to use that boolean to expose it
as a sysfs property to help troubleshooting.

Florian Fainelli 8a2fe56e88 net: phy: re-design phy_modes to be self-contained
of_get_phy_mode() uses a local array to map phy_interface_t values from
include/linux/net/phy.h to a string which is read from the 'phy-mode' or
'phy-connection-type' property. In preparation for exposing the PHY
interface mode through sysfs, perform the following:

- mode phy_modes from drivers/of/of_net.c to include/linux/phy.h such
  that it is right below the phy_interface_t enum
- make it a static inline function returning the string such that we can
  use it by just including include/linux/net/phy.h
- add a PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_MAX enum value to guard the iteration in
  of_get_phy_mode()

Florian Fainelli 76a423a3f8 net: phy: allow driver to implement their own aneg_done
Some PHYs out there can be very quirky with respect to how they would
report the auto-negotiation is completed. Allow drivers to override the
generic aneg_done() implementation by providing their own.

Since not all drivers have been updated yet to use genphy_aneg_done() as
aneg_done() callback, we explicitely check that this callback is valid
before calling into it.

Florian Fainelli a9fa6e6ac2 net: phy: add genphy_aneg_done()
In preparation for allowing PHY drivers to potentially override their
auto-negotiation done callback, move the contents of phy_aneg_done() to
genphy_aneg_done() since that function really is the generic
implementation based on the BMSR_ANEGCOMPLETE status.

Ben Hutchings 6e201c857b ethtool: Document the general convention for VLAs in kernel space
Various ethtool command structures are declared with zero-length array
at the end which are intended to be variable-length in userland
(relying on lack of compiler bounds checking).  However, in the kernel
the structure and array are always allocated and passed to driver
operations separately.  Make that explicit.

Al Viro d311d79de3 fix O_SYNC|O_APPEND syncing the wrong range on write()
It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support)
when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly
synced
	pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1
but generic_file_aio_write() synced
	pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1
instead.  Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously.
A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when
everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write().

All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug
has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write().

The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync()
ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of
calls.

Shaohua Li 579f82901f swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead
This is a patch to improve swap readahead algorithm.  It's from Hugh and
I slightly changed it.

Hugh's original changelog:

swapin readahead does a blind readahead, whether or not the swapin is
sequential.  This may be ok on harddisk, because large reads have
relatively small costs, and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can
be reclaimed easily - though, what if their allocation forced reclaim of
useful pages? But on SSD devices large reads are more expensive than
small ones: if the readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused
significant overhead.

This patch adds very simplistic random read detection.  Stealing the
PageReadahead technique from Konstantin Khlebnikov's patch, avoiding the
vma/anon_vma sophistications of Shaohua Li's patch, swapin_nr_pages()
simply looks at readahead's current success rate, and narrows or widens
its readahead window accordingly.  There is little science to its
heuristic: it's about as stupid as can be whilst remaining effective.

The table below shows elapsed times (in centiseconds) when running a
single repetitive swapping load across a 1000MB mapping in 900MB ram
with 1GB swap (the harddisk tests had taken painfully too long when I
used mem=500M, but SSD shows similar results for that).

Vanilla is the 3.6-rc7 kernel on which I started; Shaohua denotes his
Sep 3 patch in mmotm and linux-next; HughOld denotes my Oct 1 patch
which Shaohua showed to be defective; HughNew this Nov 14 patch, with
page_cluster as usual at default of 3 (8-page reads); HughPC4 this same
patch with page_cluster 4 (16-page reads); HughPC0 with page_cluster 0
(1-page reads: no readahead).

HDD for swapping to harddisk, SSD for swapping to VertexII SSD.  Seq for
sequential access to the mapping, cycling five times around; Rand for
the same number of random touches.  Anon for a MAP_PRIVATE anon mapping;
Shmem for a MAP_SHARED anon mapping, equivalent to tmpfs.

One weakness of Shaohua's vma/anon_vma approach was that it did not
optimize Shmem: seen below.  Konstantin's approach was perhaps mistuned,
50% slower on Seq: did not compete and is not shown below.

Rand Shmem   45349   45215   28249   24268   24138   24332

These tests are, of course, two extremes of a very simple case: under
heavier mixed loads I've not yet observed any consistent improvement or
degradation, and wider testing would be welcome.

Shaohua Li:

Test shows Vanilla is slightly better in sequential workload than Hugh's
patch.  I observed with Hugh's patch sometimes the readahead size is
shrinked too fast (from 8 to 1 immediately) in sequential workload if
there is no hit.  And in such case, continuing doing readahead is good
actually.

I don't prepare a sophisticated algorithm for the sequential workload
because so far we can't guarantee sequential accessed pages are swap out
sequentially.  So I slightly change Hugh's heuristic - don't shrink
readahead size too fast.

Here is my test result (unit second, 3 runs average):
	Vanilla		Hugh		New
Seq	356		370		360
Random	4525		2447		2444

Attached graph is the swapin/swapout throughput I collected with 'vmstat
2'.  The first part is running a random workload (till around 1200 of
the x-axis) and the second part is running a sequential workload.
swapin and swapout throughput are almost identical in steady state in
both workloads.  These are expected behavior.  while in Vanilla, swapin
is much bigger than swapout especially in random workload (because wrong
readahead).

Linus Torvalds c4ad8f98be execve: use 'struct filename *' for executable name passing
This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct
filename', and to free it when it is done.  This is what the normal
users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling.

The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a
use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the
lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all
obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize
the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished,
which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after
mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory.

To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces
"getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname()
function, except with the source coming from kernel memory.

As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array
from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers
setup_new_exec().  That would be a separate cleanup.

Dave Hansen 433a91ff5f mm: sl[uo]b: fix misleading comments
On x86, SLUB creates and handles <=8192-byte allocations internally.
It passes larger ones up to the allocator.  Saying "up to order 2" is,
at best, ambiguous.  Is that order-1?  Or (order-2 bytes)?  Make
it more clear.

SLOB commits a similar sin.  It *handles* page-size requests, but the
comment says that it passes up "all page size and larger requests".

SLOB also swaps around the order of the very-similarly-named
KMALLOC_SHIFT_HIGH and KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX #defines.  Make it
consistent with the order of the other two allocators.

     for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
     a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
     computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
     contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
     coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
     and optional floating point unit."

  The platform specific patches touch all 3 Broadcom families.  It adds
  support for the new Broadcom/Netlogix XLP9xx Soc, building a common
  BCM63XX SMP kernel for all BCM63XX SoCs regardless of core type/count
  and full gpio button/led descriptions for BCM47xx.

Minchan Kim bcf1647d08 zsmalloc: move it under mm
This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.

Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
allocator.

Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
pages.  It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.

zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
achieve these design goals.

zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
"size classes" in zsmalloc terms.  Instead it allows multiple
single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
the slab.  This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
pressure.

Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE.  With the
kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
space.

This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
directly addressable by the user.  The user is given an
non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request.  That
handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
the mapped region that can be used.  The mapping is necessary since the
object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.

The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

Oliver Hartkopp 0ae89beb28 can: add destructor for self generated skbs
Self generated skbuffs in net/can/bcm.c are setting a skb->sk reference but
no explicit destructor which is enforced since Linux 3.11 with commit
376c7311bd (net: add a temporary sanity check in skb_orphan()).

This patch adds some helper functions to make sure that a destructor is
properly defined when a sock reference is assigned to a CAN related skb.
To create an unshared skb owned by the original sock a common helper function

Heiko Carstens d8d14bd09c fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter handling
Commit d5dc77bfee ("consolidate compat lookup_dcookie()") coverted all
architectures to the new compat_sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

The "len" paramater of the new compat syscall must have the type
compat_size_t in order to enforce zero extension for architectures where
the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or
sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.

Heiko Carstens dfd948e32a fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscalls
We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in
compat mode on s390.

It turned out that with commit 72ec35163f ("switch compat readv/writev
variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a
couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't
been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t.

This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller
of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all
parameters.

Johannes Weiner a1c3bfb2f6 mm/page-writeback.c: do not count anon pages as dirtyable memory
The VM is currently heavily tuned to avoid swapping.  Whether that is
good or bad is a separate discussion, but as long as the VM won't swap
to make room for dirty cache, we can not consider anonymous pages when
calculating the amount of dirtyable memory, the baseline to which
dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied.

A simple workload that occupies a significant size (40+%, depending on
memory layout, storage speeds etc.) of memory with anon/tmpfs pages and
uses the remainder for a streaming writer demonstrates this problem.  In
that case, the actual cache pages are a small fraction of what is
considered dirtyable overall, which results in an relatively large
portion of the cache pages to be dirtied.  As kswapd starts rotating
these, random tasks enter direct reclaim and stall on IO.

Only consider free pages and file pages dirtyable.

The event returned from fsnotify_add_notify_event() cannot ever be used

dropping notification_mutex). So change the prototype to just return
