Commit 20cde69402 ("x86, ia64: Move EFI_FB vga_default_device()
initialization to pci_vga_fixup()") moved boot video device detection from
efifb to x86 and ia64 pci/fixup.c.
For dual-GPU Apple computers above change represents a regression as code
in efifb did forcefully override vga_default_device while the merge did not
(vgaarb happens prior to PCI fixup).
To improve on initial device selection by vgaarb (it cannot know if PCI
device not behind bridges see/decode legacy VGA I/O or not), move the
screen_info based check from pci_video_fixup() to vgaarb's init function and
use it to refine/override decision taken while adding the individual PCI
VGA devices. This way PCI fixup has no reason to adjust vga_default_device
anymore but can depend on its value for flagging shadowed VBIOS.
This has the nice benefit of removing duplicated code but does introduce a
#if defined() block in vgaarb. Not all architectures have screen_info and
would cause compile to fail without it.

We don't really need to get the platform irq again when we're
enabling or disabling the per-cpu irq. Furthermore, we don't
really need to set and clear bits in the active_irqs bitmask
because that's only used in the non-percpu irq case to figure out
when the last CPU PMU has been disabled. Just pass the irq
directly to the enable/disable functions to clean all this up.
This should be slightly more efficient and also fix the
scheduling while atomic bug.

The TPIDRURO and TPIDRURW registers need to be flushed during exec;
otherwise TLS information is potentially leaked. TPIDRURO in
particular needs careful treatment. Since flush_thread basically
needs the same code used to set the TLS in arm_syscall, pull that into
a common set_tls helper in tls.h and use it in both places.
Similarly, TEEHBR needs to be cleared during exec as well. Clearing
its save slot in thread_info isn't right as there is no guarantee
that a thread switch will occur before the new program runs. Just
setting the register directly is sufficient.

Just like CNIC, tristate of these two modules is also dependent on IPV6.
These need to be handled separately as they select CNIC, which can override
tristate for CNIC from 'm' to 'y', which can cause build failures when ipv6 is
compiled as a module even if CNIC's Kconfig will only 'm' or 'n' when ipv6 is
compiled as a module.

This patch adds a explicit check in iscsit_find_cmd_from_itt_or_dump()
to ignore commands with ICF_GOT_LAST_DATAOUT set. This is done to
address the case where an ITT is being reused for DataOUT, but the
previous command with the same ITT has not yet been acknowledged by
ExpStatSN and removed from the per connection command list.
This issue was originally manifesting itself by referencing the
previous command during ITT lookup, and subsequently hitting the
check in iscsit_check_dataout_hdr() for ICF_GOT_LAST_DATAOUT, that
resulted in the DataOUT PDU + associated payload being silently
dumped.

Commit 9226b5b440 ("vfs: avoid non-forwarding large load after small
store in path lookup") made link_path_walk() always access the
"hash_len" field as a single 64-bit entity, in order to avoid mixed size
accesses to the members.
However, what I didn't notice was that that effectively means that the
whole "struct qstr this" is now basically redundant. We already
explicitly track the "const char *name", and if we just use "u64
hash_len" instead of "long len", there is nothing else left of the
"struct qstr".
We do end up wanting the "struct qstr" if we have a filesystem with a
"d_hash()" function, but that's a rare case, and we might as well then
just squirrell away the name and hash_len at that point.
End result: fewer live variables in the loop, a smaller stack frame, and
better code generation. And we don't need to pass in pointers variables
to helper functions any more, because the return value contains all the
relevant information. So this removes more lines than it adds, and the
source code is clearer too.

me look at performance stability of the dcache code, just to verify that
the problem was actually fixed. That turned up a few other problems in
this area.
There are a few cases where we exit RCU lookup mode and go to the slow
serializing case when we shouldn't, Al has fixed those and they'll come
in with the next VFS pull.
But my performance verification also shows that link_path_walk() turns
out to have a very unfortunate 32-bit store of the length and hash of
the name we look up, followed by a 64-bit read of the combined hash_len
field. That screws up the processor store to load forwarding, causing
an unnecessary hickup in this critical routine.
It's caused by the ugly calling convention for the "hash_name()"
function, and easily fixed by just making hash_name() fill in the whole
'struct qstr' rather than passing it a pointer to just the hash value.
With that, the profile for this function looks much smoother.

xfstest generic/258 sets the time on a file to a negative value
(before 1970) which fails since do_div can not handle negative
numbers. In addition 'normal' division of 64 bit values does
not build on 32 bit arch so have to workaround this by special
casing negative values in cifs_NTtimeToUnix
Samba server also has a bug with this (see samba bugzilla 7771)
but it works to Windows server.

Pull parisc updates from Helge Deller:
"The most important patch is a new Light Weigth Syscall (LWS) for 8,
16, 32 and 64 bit atomic CAS operations which is required in order to
be able to implement the atomic gcc builtins on our platform.
Other than that, we wire up the seccomp, getrandom and memfd_create
syscalls, fixes a minor off-by-one bug and a wrong printk string"
* 'parisc-3.17-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux:
parisc: Implement new LWS CAS supporting 64 bit operations.
parisc: Wire up seccomp, getrandom and memfd_create syscalls
parisc: dino: fix %d confusingly prefixed with 0x in format string
parisc: sys_hpux: NUL terminator is one past the end
