Linus Torvalds e13053f506 Merge branch 'sched-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
  might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
  functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:

  1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
     Make this explicit for all architectures.

  2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
     can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
     are very fast and small that e.g.  net code seems to make.  Remove
     this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
     assume.

  3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
     like net/sunrpc does will never sleep.  Remove an unconditinal
     might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
     PROVE_LOCKING is not set).

  4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
     caller to sleep.  Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
     PROVE_LOCKING is set.

  These changes offer a nice speedup for CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
  kernels, here's a network bandwidth measurement between a virtual
  machine and the host:

   before:
        incoming: 7122.77   Mb/s
        outgoing: 8480.37   Mb/s

   after:
        incoming: 8619.24   Mb/s   [ +21.0% ]
        outgoing: 9455.42   Mb/s   [ +11.5% ]

  I kept these changes in a separate tree, separate from scheduler
  changes, because it's a mixed MM and scheduler topic"
