Add description of parameter notrigger in the einj.txt.
One can utilize this new parameter to do some SRAR injection
test. Pay attention, the operation is highly depended on the
BIOS implementation. If no proper BIOS supports it, even if
enabling this parameter, expected result will not happen.
v2:
Update the documentation suggested by Tony

Some APEI firmware implementation will access injected address
specified in param1 to trigger the error when injecting memory
error, which means if one SRAR error is injected, the crash
always happens because it is executed in kernel context. This
new parameter can disable trigger action and control is taken
over by the user. In this way, an SRAR error can happen in user
context instead of crashing the system. This function is highly
depended on BIOS implementation so please ensure you know the
BIOS trigger procedure before you enable this switch.
v2:
notrigger should be created together with param1/param2

Currently when a CPU is off-lined it enters either MWAIT-based idle or,
if MWAIT is not desired or supported, HLT-based idle (which places the
processor in C1 state). This patch allows processors without MWAIT
support to stay in states deeper than C1.

An HP laptop (Pavilion G4-1016tx) has the following code in _TMP:
Store (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.RTMP, Local0)
If (LGreaterEqual (Local0, S4TP))
{
Store (One, HTS4)
}
S4TP is initialised at 0 and not programmed further until either _HOT or
_CRT is called. If we evaluate _TMP before the trip points then HTS4 will
always be set, causing the firmware to generate a message on boot
complaining that the system shut down because of overheating. The simplest
solution is just to reverse the checking of trip points and _TMP in thermal
init.

Some C states of new CPU might be not good. One reason is BIOS might
configure them incorrectly. To help developers root cause it quickly, the
patch adds a new sysfs entry, so developers could disable specific C state
manually.
In addition, C state might have much impact on performance tuning, as it
takes much time to enter/exit C states, which might delay interrupt
processing. With the new debug option, developers could check if a deep C
state could impact performance and how much impact it could cause.
Also add this option in Documentation/cpuidle/sysfs.txt.

Devices may share same list of power resources in _PR0, for example
Device(Dev0)
{
Name (_PR0, Package (0x01)
{
P0PR,
P1PR
})
}
Device(Dev1)
{
Name (_PR0, Package (0x01)
{
P0PR,
P1PR
}
}
Assume Dev0 and Dev1 were runtime suspended.
Then Dev0 is resumed first and it goes into D0 state.
But Dev1 is left in D0_Uninitialised state.
This is wrong. In this case, Dev1 must be resumed too.
In order to hand this case, each power resource maintains a list of
devices which relies on it.
When power resource is ON, it will check if the devices on its list
can be resumed. The device can only be resumed when all the power
resouces of its _PR0 are ON.

Pull urgent cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"Commit 61d1d219c4c0 ('cgroup: remove extra calls to
find_existing_css_set') which was part of the rc1 cgroup pull request
made writes to the cgroup "tasks" file return an uninitialized retval
on success which can cause boot failures with systemd.
The change stayed in linux-next for quite some time but gcc
interestingly failed to emit warning about using uninitialized
variable and the problem seems to materialize only for certain build
combinations (probably depends on register allocation).
It's just missing local variable initialization and the fix is trivial
& safe. As the problem is critical when it materializes, I'm
fast-tracking it. Also included is Li's email address change in
MAINTAINERS."

cgroup: update MAINTAINERS entry
|
|
61d1d219c4 "cgroup: remove extra calls to find_existing_css_set" made
cgroup_task_migrate() return void. An unfortunate side effect was
that cgroup_attach_task() was depending on that function's return
value to clear its @retval on the success path. On cgroup mounts
without any subsystem with ->can_attach() callback,
cgroup_attach_task() ended up returning @retval without initializing
it on success.
For some reason, gcc failed to warn about it and it didn't cause
cgroup_attach_task() to return non-zero value in many cases, probably
due to difference in register allocation. When the problem
materializes, systemd fails to populate /systemd cgroup mount and
fails to boot.
Fix it by initializing @retval to zero on declaration.

turbostat uses /dev/cpu/*/msr interface to read MSRs.
For modern systems, it reads 10 MSR/CPU. This can
be observed as 10 "Function Call Interrupts"
per CPU per sample added to /proc/interrupts.
This overhead is measurable on large idle systems,
and as Yoquan Song pointed out, it can even trick
cpuidle into thinking the system is busy.
Here turbostat re-schedules itself in-turn to each
CPU so that its MSR reads will always be local.
This replaces the 10 "Function Call Interrupts"
with a single "Rescheduling interrupt" per sample
per CPU.
On an idle 32-CPU system, this shifts some residency from
the shallow c1 state to the deeper c7 state:

Dave Jones reports that it causes lockups on his laptop, and his debug

Ted says:
"That commit fixes a race which is seen when you write into fallocated
(and hence uninitialized) disk blocks under *very* heavy memory
pressure. Furthermore, although theoretically it could trigger under
normal direct I/O writes, it only seems to trigger if you are issuing
a huge number of AIO writes, such that a just-written page can get
evicted from memory, and then read back into memory, before the
workqueue has a chance to update the extent tree.
This race has been around for a little over a year, and no one noticed
until two months ago; it only happens under fairly exotic conditions,
and in fact even after trying very hard to create a simple repro under
lab conditions, we could only reproduce the problem and confirm the
fix on production servers running MySQL on very fast PCIe-attached
flash devices.
Given that Dave was able to hit this problem pretty quickly, if we
confirm that this commit is at fault, the only reasonable thing to do
is to revert it IMO."

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:
Highlights:
- Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
- Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
ext2/3/4.
- Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
for further improvements.
- Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.
Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.
Thanks to everyone!
There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally
turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).
And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues
though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it
on by default.

Fix this build error on ia64:
In file included from include/linux/sched.h:92,
from arch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.c:9:
include/linux/llist.h:59:25: error: asm/cmpxchg.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [arch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
Right now we don't seem to need any actual contents for the
asm/cmpxchg.h to make the build work ... so leave the migration of
xchg() and cmpxchg() to this new header file for a future patch.
Also process.c needs <asm/switch_to.h> (for definition of pfm_syst_info).
