This avoids the spinlocks and refcounts in the d_path() sequence too
(used by /proc and various other entities). See commit 8b19e34188 for
the equivalent getcwd() system call path.
And unlike getcwd(), d_path() doesn't copy the result to user space, so
I don't need to fear _that_ particular bug happening again.

It's a pathname. It should use the pathname allocators and
deallocators, and PATH_MAX instead of PAGE_SIZE. Never mind that the
two are commonly the same.
With this, the allocations scale up nicely too, and I can do getcwd()
system calls at a rate of about 300M/s, with no lock contention
anywhere.
Of course, nobody sane does that, especially since getcwd() is
traditionally a very slow operation in Unix. But this was also the
simplest way to benchmark the prepend_path() improvements by Waiman, and
once I saw the profiles I couldn't leave it well enough alone.
But apart from being an performance improvement (from using per-cpu slab
allocators instead of the raw page allocator), it's actually a valid and
real cleanup.

1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events
After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting breakage
on a system that triggers device check notifications during boot for
non-existing devices. Although those notifications are really
spurious, we should be able to deal with them nevertheless and that
shouldn't introduce too much overhead. Four commits to make that
work properly.
2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework
This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
time. Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.
3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix
The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the information
expected by the driver. Fix from Mika Westerberg, for stable.
4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation
AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice). From
Bob Moore.
5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup
There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one that
the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take more
criteria into account in those cases.
6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases
If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.
7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug
Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with cpufreq
related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of fixes
from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.
8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute
Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state won't
work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies. Fix
from Andreas Schwab.
9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit
Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency problems
in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but unfortunately
it introduced several problems of its own, so I decided to revert it
now and address the original problems later in a more robust way.
10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.
11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume
The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs attributes
over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL pointer
dereference that caused it to crash during the second attempt to
suspend. Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that problem and a
couple of related issues.
12) cpufreq locking fix
cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
it acquires it for writing. Fix from Lan Tianyu.

This patch modifies read_seqbegin_or_lock() and need_seqretry() to use
newly introduced read_seqlock_excl() and read_sequnlock_excl()
primitives so that they won't change the sequence number even if they
fall back to take the lock. This is OK as no change to the protected
data structure is being made.
It will prevent one fallback to lock taking from cascading into a series
of lock taking reducing performance because of the sequence number
change. It will also allow other sequence readers to go forward while
an exclusive reader lock is taken.
This patch also updates some of the inaccurate comments in the code.

The sequence lock (seqlock) was originally designed for the cases where
the readers do not need to block the writers by making the readers retry
the read operation when the data change.
Since then, the use cases have been expanded to include situations where
a thread does not need to change the data (effectively a reader) at all
but have to take the writer lock because it can't tolerate changes to
the protected structure. Some examples are the d_path() function and
the getcwd() syscall in fs/dcache.c where the functions take the writer
lock on rename_lock even though they don't need to change anything in
the protected data structure at all. This is inefficient as a reader is
now blocking other sequence number reading readers from moving forward
by pretending to be a writer.
This patch tries to eliminate this inefficiency by introducing a new
type of locking reader to the seqlock locking mechanism. This new
locking reader will try to take an exclusive lock preventing other
writers and locking readers from going forward. However, it won't
affect the progress of the other sequence number reading readers as the
sequence number won't be changed.

The biggest change is about exynos thermal driver restructure. The
patch set adds TMU (Thermal management Unit) driver support for
exynos5440 platform. There are 3 instances of the TMU controllers so
necessary cleanup/re-structure is done to handle multiple thermal
zone.
The next biggest change is the introduction of the imx thermal driver.
It adds the imx thermal support using Temperature Monitor (TEMPMON)
block found on some Freescale i.MX SoCs. The driver uses syscon
regmap interface to access TEMPMON control registers and calibration
data, and supports cpufreq as the cooling device.
Highlights:
- restructure exynos thermal driver.
- introduce new imx thermal driver.
- fix a bug in thermal core, which powers on the fans unexpectedly
after resume from suspend"

Commit 05b016ecf5 "ARC: Setup Vector Table Base in early boot" moved
the Interrupt vector Table setup out of arc_init_IRQ() which is called
for all CPUs, to entry point of boot cpu only, breaking booting of others.
Fix by adding the same to entry point of non-boot CPUs too.

casue since it prints a synthetic value if zero which is totally bogus,
so fix that to print the exact Register.

There was a bug in the handling of SNB-EP/IVB-EP uncore PCI
fixed counters, e.g., IMC.
It would cause erratic values to be returned for the IMC
clockticks event. This was due to a bogus hwc->config value
which was then written to PCI config space.
The erratic values can be seen via:
$ perf stat -a -C 0 -e uncore_imc_0/clockticks/ -I 1000 sleep 10
The fixed counter has most fields marked as reserved with
hw reset values of 0. Yet the kernel was defaulting to a
hwc->config = ~0 and that was causing the issues.
This patch sets the hwc->config values for fixed uncore event
to 0. Now, the values of IMC clockticks is correct.

Currently utask->depth is simply the number of allocated/pending

handle_trampoline() should decrement this counter every time we
handle/free an instance, but due to typo it does this only if
->chained == T. This means that in the likely case this counter
is never decremented and the probed task can't report more than
MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH events.

When such fallback happens the perf_missing_features.mmap2 flag is set to

a fallback path to restore existing behaviour where we cannot
