Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is unusually large, partly due to the EFI fixes that prevent
  accidental deletion of EFI variables through efivarfs that may brick
  machines.  These fixes are somewhat involved to maintain compatibility
  with existing install methods and other usage modes, while trying to
  turn off the 'rm -rf' bricking vector.

  Other fixes are for large page ioremap()s and for non-temporal
  user-memcpy()s"

 - regression (from 4.4) fix for ordering issue, introduced by an
   earlier ftrace change, that broke live patching of modules.

   Jessica Yu, has been acked both by Steven and Rusty

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit c510eff6beba ("fsnotify: destroy marks with
call_srcu instead of dedicated thread").

Eryu reported that he was seeing some OOM kills kick in when running a
testcase that adds and removes inotify marks on a file in a tight loop.

The above commit changed the code to use call_srcu to clean up the
marks.  While that does (in principle) work, the srcu callback job is
limited to cleaning up entries in small batches and only once per jiffy.
It's easily possible to overwhelm that machinery with too many call_srcu
callbacks, and Eryu's reproduer did just that.

There's also another potential problem with using call_srcu here.  While
you can obviously sleep while holding the srcu_read_lock, the callbacks
run under local_bh_disable, so you can't sleep there.

It's possible when putting the last reference to the fsnotify_mark that
we'll end up putting a chain of references including the fsnotify_group,
uid, and associated keys.  While I don't see any obvious ways that that
could occurs, it's probably still best to avoid using call_srcu here
after all.

This patch reverts the above patch.  A later patch will take a different
approach to eliminated the dedicated thread here.

<title>ftrace/module: remove ftrace module notifier</title>

Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling
ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader.
Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes
dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better
visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important
to kernel utilities such as livepatch.

This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier
(and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called
after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize
incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call
chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the
module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in
the correct order on patch module load and unload.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "This includes two fixes.

  The first is something that has come up a few times and has been
  worked out individually, but it's come up now enough that the problem
  should be generic.  Tracepoints are protected by RCU sched.  There are
  several tracepoints within core infrastructure like kfree().  If a
  tracepoint is called when the CPU is going down, or when it's coming
  up but has yet to be recognized by RCU, a RCU warning is triggered.

  This is a true bug as that tracepoint is not protected by RCU.
  Usually, this is taken care of by testing for cpu online as a
  tracepoint condition.  But as this is happening more often, moving it
  from a individual tracepoint to a check in the tracepoint
  infrastructure is more robust.

  Note, there is now a duplicate of a cpu online test, because this
  update does not remove the individual checks.  But the overhead is
  small enough that the removal can be done in another release.

  The second change is strange linker breakage due to the branch
  tracer's builtin_constant_p() check failing, and treating the
  condition as a variable instead of a constant.  Arnd Bergmann found
  that this can be fixed by testing !!(cond) instead of just (cond)"

<content type='text'>
In my randconfig tests, I came across a bug that involves several
components:

* gcc-4.9 through at least 5.3
* CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL enabling -fprofile-arcs for all files
* CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES overriding every if()
* The optimized implementation of do_div() that tries to
  replace a library call with an division by multiplication
* code in drivers/media/dvb-frontends/zl10353.c doing

        u32 adc_clock = 450560; /* 45.056 MHz */
        if (state-&gt;config.adc_clock)
                adc_clock = state-&gt;config.adc_clock;
        do_div(value, adc_clock);

In this case, gcc fails to determine whether the divisor
in do_div() is __builtin_constant_p(). In particular, it
concludes that __builtin_constant_p(adc_clock) is false, while
__builtin_constant_p(!!adc_clock) is true.

That in turn throws off the logic in do_div() that also uses
__builtin_constant_p(), and instead of picking either the
constant- optimized division, and the code in ilog2() that uses
__builtin_constant_p() to figure out whether it knows the answer at
compile time. The result is a link error from failing to find
multiple symbols that should never have been called based on
the __builtin_constant_p():

dvb-frontends/zl10353.c:138: undefined reference to `____ilog2_NaN'
dvb-frontends/zl10353.c:138: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'
ERROR: "____ilog2_NaN" [drivers/media/dvb-frontends/zl10353.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "__aeabi_uldivmod" [drivers/media/dvb-frontends/zl10353.ko] undefined!

This patch avoids the problem by changing __trace_if() to check
whether the condition is known at compile-time to be nonzero, rather
than checking whether it is actually a constant.

I see this one link error in roughly one out of 1600 randconfig builds
on ARM, and the patch fixes all known instances.
