commit f75d48644c56a31731d17fa693c8175328957e1d upstream.

__clear_bit_unlock() is a special little snowflake. While it carries the
non-atomic '__' prefix, it is specifically documented to pair with
test_and_set_bit() and therefore should be 'somewhat' atomic.

Therefore the generic implementation of __clear_bit_unlock() cannot use
the fully non-atomic __clear_bit() as a default.

If an arch is able to do better; is must provide an implementation of
__clear_bit_unlock() itself.

Specifically, this came up as a result of hackbench livelock'ing in
slab_lock() on ARC with SMP + SLUB + !LLSC.

The issue was incorrect pairing of atomic ops.

 slab_lock() -&gt; bit_spin_lock() -&gt; test_and_set_bit()
 slab_unlock() -&gt; __bit_spin_unlock() -&gt; __clear_bit()

The non serializing __clear_bit() was getting "lost"

 80543b8e:	ld_s       r2,[r13,0] &lt;--- (A) Finds PG_locked is set
 80543b90:	or         r3,r2,1    &lt;--- (B) other core unlocks right here
 80543b94:	st_s       r3,[r13,0] &lt;--- (C) sets PG_locked (overwrites unlock)

Fixes ARC STAR 9000817404 (and probably more).

<title>cputime: Prevent 32bit overflow in time[val|spec]_to_cputime()</title>

commit 0f26922fe5dc5724b1adbbd54b21bad03590b4f3 upstream.

The datatype __kernel_time_t is u32 on 32bit platform, so its subject to
overflows in the timeval/timespec to cputime conversion.

Currently the following functions are affected:
1. setitimer()
2. timer_create/timer_settime()
3. sys_clock_nanosleep

This can happen on MIPS32 and ARM32 with "Full dynticks CPU time accounting"
enabled, which is required for CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL.

Enforce u64 conversion to prevent the overflow.

Fixes: 31c1fc818715 ("ARM: Kconfig: allow full nohz CPU accounting")

commit fe32d3cd5e8eb0f82e459763374aa80797023403 upstream.

These functions check should_resched() before unlocking spinlock/bh-enable:
preempt_count always non-zero =&gt; should_resched() always returns false.
cond_resched_lock() worked iff spin_needbreak is set.

This patch adds argument "preempt_offset" to should_resched().

preempt_count offset constants for that:

  PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET  - offset after preempt_disable()
  PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET     - offset after spin_lock()
  SOFTIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET  - offset after local_bh_distable()
  SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET     - offset after spin_lock_bh()

<title>core: fix typo in percpu read_mostly section</title>

<id>330d282216d6e4d845a21b72572dc4df4122e8fa</id>
<content type='text'>
This fixes a typo that named the read_mostly section of percpu as
readmostly. It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies
.data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu
sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called
data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break
things unexpectedly.

Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly
(commit c957ef2c59e952803766ddc22e89981ab534606f), it looks like this
was the original intention.

Tested: Built UP kernel and confirmed the sections got merged.

- Before the patch:
$ objdump -h vmlinux.o  | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly'
38 .data..read_mostly 00004418  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00431ac0  2**6
50 .data..readmostly 00000014  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00444000  2**3

- After the patch:
$ objdump -h vmlinux.o  | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly'
38 .data..read_mostly 00004438  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00431ac0  2**6

<title>include/asm-generic/ioctl.h: fix _IOC_TYPECHECK sparse error</title>

<id>d55875f5d52c067e2eff7536368596b4a96b3ade</id>
<content type='text'>
When running sparse over drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c I get these
errors:

  drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2043:9: error: bad integer constant expression
  drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2044:9: error: bad integer constant expression
  drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2045:9: error: bad integer constant expression
  drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2046:9: error: bad integer constant expression

etc.

The root cause of that turns out to be in include/asm-generic/ioctl.h:

#include &lt;uapi/asm-generic/ioctl.h&gt;

/* provoke compile error for invalid uses of size argument */
extern unsigned int __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC;
#define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) \
        ((sizeof(t) == sizeof(t[1]) &amp;&amp; \
          sizeof(t) &lt; (1 &lt;&lt; _IOC_SIZEBITS)) ? \
          sizeof(t) : __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC)

If it is defined as this (as is already done if __KERNEL__ is not defined):

  #define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) (sizeof(t))

then all is well with the world.

This patch allows sparse to work correctly.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 - Optimised assembly string/memory routines (based on the AArch64
   Cortex Strings library contributed to glibc but re-licensed under
   GPLv2)
 - Optimised crypto algorithms making use of the ARMv8 crypto extensions
   (together with kernel API for using FPSIMD instructions in interrupt
   context)
 - Ftrace support
 - CPU topology parsing from DT
 - ESR_EL1 (Exception Syndrome Register) exposed to user space signal
   handlers for SIGSEGV/SIGBUS (useful to emulation tools like Qemu)
 - 1GB section linear mapping if applicable
 - Barriers usage clean-up
 - Default pgprot clean-up

This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the
arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting
rwlock is a fair lock.

It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the
reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4
bytes for the arch_spinlock_t.

Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize
queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count).

Performance as measured by Davidlohr Bueso (rwlock_t -&gt; qrwlock_t):
