Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "Three regression fixes this time, one for a recent regression in the
  cpuidle core affecting multiple systems, one for an inadvertently
  added duplicate typedef in ACPICA that breaks compilation with GCC 4.5
  and one for an ACPI Smart Battery Subsystem driver regression
  introduced during the 3.18 cycle (stable-candidate).

  Specifics:

   - Fix for a regression in the cpuidle core introduced by one of the
     recent commits in the clockevents_notify() removal series that put
     a call to a function which had to be executed with disabled
     interrupts into a code path running with enabled interrupts (Rafael
     J Wysocki)

   - Fix for a build problem in ACPICA (with GCC 4.5) introduced by one
     of the recent ACPICA tools commits that added a duplicate typedef
     to one of the ACPICA's header files by mistake (Olaf Hering)

   - Fix for a regression in the ACPI SBS (Smart Battery Subsystem)
     driver introduced during the 3.18 development cycle causing the
     smart battery manager to be marked as not present when it should be
     marked as present (Chris Bainbridge)"

<title>cpuidle: Run tick_broadcast_exit() with disabled interrupts</title>

Commit 335f49196fd6 (sched/idle: Use explicit broadcast oneshot
control function) replaced clockevents_notify() invocations in
cpuidle_idle_call() with direct calls to tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit(), but it overlooked the fact that
interrupts were already enabled before calling the latter which
led to functional breakage on systems using idle states with the
CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag set.

Fix that by moving the invocations of tick_broadcast_enter()
and tick_broadcast_exit() down into cpuidle_enter_state() where
interrupts are still disabled when tick_broadcast_exit() is
called.  Also ensure that interrupts will be disabled before
running tick_broadcast_exit() even if they have been enabled by
the idle state's -&gt;enter callback.  Trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in
that case, as we generally don't want that to happen for states
with CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP set.

Fixes: 335f49196fd6 (sched/idle: Use explicit broadcast oneshot control function)

<title>x86: pvclock: Really remove the sched notifier for cross-cpu migrations</title>
<updated>2015-04-27T13:49:30+00:00</updated>

<id>73459e2a1ada09a68c02cc5b73f3116fc8194b3d</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commits 0a4e6be9ca17c54817cf814b4b5aa60478c6df27
and 80f7fdb1c7f0f9266421f823964fd1962681f6ce.

The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support
the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it
with synchronized TSC.  Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed
due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare
that it's mostly theoretical.

As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the
additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task
migration notifier.

Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at
all, so we do not care about its plans for non-synchronized TSC.

 "Major changes:

   - Reworked CPU capacity code, for better SMP load balancing on
     systems with assymetric CPUs. (Vincent Guittot, Morten Rasmussen)

   - Reworked RT task SMP balancing to be push based instead of pull
     based, to reduce latencies on large CPU count systems. (Steven
     Rostedt)

   - SCHED_DEADLINE support updates and fixes. (Juri Lelli)

   - SCHED_DEADLINE task migration support during CPU hotplug. (Wanpeng Li)

   - x86 mwait-idle optimizations and fixes. (Mike Galbraith, Len Brown)

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "First batch of KVM changes for 4.1

  The most interesting bit here is irqfd/ioeventfd support for ARM and
  ARM64.

  Summary:

  ARM/ARM64:
     fixes for live migration, irqfd and ioeventfd support (enabling
     vhost, too), page aging

  s390:
     interrupt handling rework, allowing to inject all local interrupts
     via new ioctl and to get/set the full local irq state for migration
     and introspection.  New ioctls to access memory by virtual address,
     and to get/set the guest storage keys.  SIMD support.

  MIPS:
     FPU and MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) support.  Includes some
     patches from Ralf Baechle's MIPS tree.

  x86:
     bugfixes (notably for pvclock, the others are small) and cleanups.
     Another small latency improvement for the TSC deadline timer"

<title>mm: numa: disable change protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB)</title>

Currently when a process accesses a hugetlb range protected with
PROTNONE, unexpected COWs are triggered, which finally puts the hugetlb
subsystem into a broken/uncontrollable state, where for example
h-&gt;resv_huge_pages is subtracted too much and wraps around to a very
large number, and the free hugepage pool is no longer maintainable.

This patch simply stops changing protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB) to fix
the problem.  And this also allows us to avoid useless overhead of minor
faults.
