Mike reported that commit 7d1a9417 ("x86: Use generic idle loop")
regressed several workloads and caused excessive reschedule
interrupts.
The patch in question failed to notice that the x86 code had an
inverted sense of the polling state versus the new generic code (x86:
default polling, generic: default !polling).
Fix the two prominent x86 mwait based idle drivers and introduce a few
new generic polling helpers (fixing the wrong smp_mb__after_clear_bit
usage).
Also switch the idle routines to using tif_need_resched() which is an
immediate TIF_NEED_RESCHED test as opposed to need_resched which will
end up being slightly different.

Linus suggested using asm goto to get rid of the typical SETcc + TEST
instruction pair -- which also clobbers an extra register -- for our
typical modify_and_test() functions.
Because asm goto doesn't allow output fields it has to include an
unconditinal memory clobber when it changes a memory variable to force
a reload.
Luckily all atomic ops already imply a compiler barrier to go along
with their memory barrier semantics.

In this patch, we keep track of the max cost we spend doing idle load balancing
for each sched domain. If the avg time the CPU remains idle is less then the
time we have already spent on idle balancing + the max cost of idle balancing
in the sched domain, then we don't continue to attempt the balance. We also
keep a per rq variable, max_idle_balance_cost, which keeps track of the max
time spent on newidle load balances throughout all its domains so that we can
determine the avg_idle's max value.
By using the max, we avoid overrunning the average. This further reduces the
chance we attempt balancing when the CPU is not idle for longer than the cost
to balance.

When updating avg_idle, if the delta exceeds some max value, then avg_idle
gets set to the max, regardless of what the previous avg was. This can cause
avg_idle to often be overestimated.
This patch modifies the way we update avg_idle by always updating it with the
function call to update_avg() first. Then, if avg_idle exceeds the max, we set
it to the max.

In busiest->group_imb case we can come to fix_small_imbalance() with
local->avg_load > busiest->avg_load. This can result in wrong imbalance
fix-up, because there is the following check there where all the
members are unsigned:
if (busiest->avg_load - local->avg_load + scaled_busy_load_per_task >=
(scaled_busy_load_per_task * imbn)) {
env->imbalance = busiest->load_per_task;
return;
}
As a result we can end up constantly bouncing tasks from one cpu to
another if there are pinned tasks.
Fix it by substituting the subtraction with an equivalent addition in
the check.

In busiest->group_imb case we can come to calculate_imbalance() with
local->avg_load >= busiest->avg_load >= sds->avg_load. This can result
in imbalance overflow, because it is calculated as follows
env->imbalance = min(
max_pull * busiest->group_power,
(sds->avg_load - local->avg_load) * local->group_power) / SCHED_POWER_SCALE;
As a result we can end up constantly bouncing tasks from one cpu to
another if there are pinned tasks.
Fix this by skipping the assignment and assuming imbalance=0 in case
local->avg_load > sds->avg_load.

Starting from v3.10 (probably commit f91e2590410b: "tty: Signal
foreground group processes in hangup") disassociate_ctty() sends SIGCONT
if tty && on_exit. This breaks LSB test-suite, in particular test8 in
_exit.c and test40 in sigcon5.c.
Put the "!on_exit" check back to restore the old behaviour.
Review by Peter Hurley:
"Yes, this regression was introduced by me in that commit. The effect
of the regression is that ptys will receive a SIGCONT when, in similar
circumstances, ttys would not.
The fact that two test vectors accidentally tripped over this
regression suggests that some other apps may as well.

Matt found that commit 27a7c64217 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The
reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk
partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
other than these.

Merge tag 'writeback-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/linux
Pull writeback fix from Wu Fengguang:
"A trivial writeback fix"
* tag 'writeback-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/linux:
writeback: Do not sort b_io list only because of block device inode
The LRU list changes interacted badly with our nr_dentry_unused
accounting, and even worse with the new DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit logic.
This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the
proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the
fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list
at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for
both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing
things from the LRU.
The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the
flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry. We'll
remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it
is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular
sanity checking.

When reading a single page with cifs_readpage(), we make a call to
fscache_read_or_alloc_page() which once done, asynchronously calls
the completion function cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete(). This
completion function unlocks the page once it has been populated from
cache. The module then attempts to unlock the page a second time in
cifs_readpage() which leads to warning messages.
In case of a successful call to fscache_read_or_alloc_page() we should skip
the second unlock_page() since this will be called by the
cifs_readpage_from_fscache_complete() once the page has been populated by
fscache.
With the modifications to cifs_readpage_worker(), we will need to re-grab the
page lock in cifs_write_begin().
The problem was first noticed when testing new fscache patches for cifs.

We do not need to take a reference to the pagecache in
cifs_readpage_worker() since the calling function will have already
taken one before passing the pointer to the page as an argument to the
function.

Pull aio changes from Ben LaHaise:
"First off, sorry for this pull request being late in the merge window.
Al had raised a couple of concerns about 2 items in the series below.
I addressed the first issue (the race introduced by Gu's use of
mm_populate()), but he has not provided any further details on how he
wants to rework the anon_inode.c changes (which were sent out months
ago but have yet to be commented on).
The bulk of the changes have been sitting in the -next tree for a few
months, with all the issues raised being addressed"
