Thomas Gleixner fee4b19fb3 bitops: remove "optimizations"
The mapsize optimizations which were moved from x86 to the generic
code in commit 64970b68d2 increased the
binary size on non x86 architectures.

Looking into the real effects of the "optimizations" it turned out
that they are not used in find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit().

The ones in find_first_bit() and find_first_zero_bit() are used in a
couple of places but none of them is a real hot path.

Remove the "optimizations" all together and call the library functions
unconditionally.

Boot-tested on x86 and compile tested on every cross compiler I have.

Akinobu Mita 199f0ca514 idr: create idr_layer_cache at boot time
Avoid a possible kmem_cache_create() failure by creating idr_layer_cache
unconditionary at boot time rather than creating it on-demand when idr_init()
is called the first time.

This change also enables us to eliminate the check every time idr_init() is
called.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt b70d3a2c59 iomap: fix 64 bits resources on 32 bits
Almost all implementations of pci_iomap() in the kernel, including the generic
lib/iomap.c one, copies the content of a struct resource into unsigned long's
which will break on 32 bits platforms with 64 bits resources.

This fixes all definitions of pci_iomap() to use resource_size_t.  I also
"fixed" the 64bits arch for consistency.

Badari Pulavarty 98d5c21c81 [POWERPC] Update lmb data structures for hotplug memory add/remove
The powerpc kernel maintains information about logical memory blocks
in the lmb.memory structure, which is initialized and updated at boot
time, but not when memory is added or removed while the kernel is
running.

This adds a hotplug memory notifier which updates lmb.memory when
memory is added or removed.  This information is useful for eHEA
driver to find out the memory layout and holes.

NOTE: No special locking is needed for lmb_add() and lmb_remove().
Calls to these are serialized by caller. (pSeries_reconfig_chain).

Paul Jackson 7ea931c9fc mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operations
The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(),
with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers.

The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another.  If the
n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask
will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask.

The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff
the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz
value.

There are two substantive changes between this patch and its
predecessor bitmap_relative:
 1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto().
 2) Added bitmap_fold().

The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for
converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask.  Cpuset
relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs
or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N.  The
bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the
first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system
calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES.  These bitmap operators
(and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that
converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system
node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset.

Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies
of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies:
 1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset
    relative mempolicy because there is an essential race
    condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in
    between the time the task can query its cpuset placement,
    and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or
    set_memplicy system call.
 2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative
    mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller
    cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for,
    because the existing interface only allows specifying
    mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset.

Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish
particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of
each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the
various CPUs and Nodes available.

The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following
example.

Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory
nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset
relative) nodes 12-15.  Then lets say that application is crammed into a
cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7.  If one just uses bitmap_onto(),
this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative
nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes.  That's not good; better to fold the
higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped
mempolicy.  In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the
weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy
specifying nodes 4-7.

Christoph Lameter 488514d179 Remove set_migrateflags()
Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag
logic was reviewed.  Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the
unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was
active when a new slab page was allocated.

This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it.

The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set.  The set_migrateflags() never had any
effect there.

Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated
with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation.  We now set
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix
tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section.  Radix tree
slabs will also be accounted as such.

There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it.

Alexander van Heukelum 19870def58 x86, bitops: select the generic bitmap search functions
Introduce GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT and GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT in
lib/Kconfig, defaulting to off. An arch that wants to use the
generic implementation now only has to use a select statement
to include them.

I added an always-y option (X86_CPU) to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu
and used that to select the generic search functions. This
way ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386 automatically picks up the change
too, and arch/um/Kconfig.i386 can therefore be simplified a
bit. ARCH=um SUBARCH=x86_64 does things differently, but
still compiles fine. It seems that a "def_bool y" always
wins over a "def_bool n"?

Alexander van Heukelum 77b9bd9c49 x86: generic versions of find_first_(zero_)bit, convert i386
Generic versions of __find_first_bit and __find_first_zero_bit
are introduced as simplified versions of __find_next_bit and
__find_next_zero_bit. Their compilation and use are guarded by
a new config variable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT.

The generic versions of find_first_bit and find_first_zero_bit
are implemented in terms of the newly introduced __find_first_bit
and __find_first_zero_bit.

This patch does not remove the i386-specific implementation,
but it does switch i386 to use the generic functions by setting
GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=y for X86_32.

Alexander van Heukelum 64970b68d2 x86, generic: optimize find_next_(zero_)bit for small constant-size bitmaps
This moves an optimization for searching constant-sized small
bitmaps form x86_64-specific to generic code.

On an i386 defconfig (the x86#testing one), the size of vmlinux hardly
changes with this applied. I have observed only four places where this
optimization avoids a call into find_next_bit:

In the functions return_unused_surplus_pages, alloc_fresh_huge_page,
and adjust_pool_surplus, this patch avoids a call for a 1-bit bitmap.
In __next_cpu a call is avoided for a 32-bit bitmap. That's it.

On x86_64, 52 locations are optimized with a minimal increase in
code size:

Current #testing defconfig:
	146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   5392637  846592  724424 6963653  6a41c5 vmlinux

After removing the x86_64 specific optimization for find_next_*bit:
	94 x bsf, 79 x find_next_*bit
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   5392358  846592  724424 6963374  6a40ae vmlinux

After this patch (making the optimization generic):
	146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   5392396  846592  724424 6963412  6a40d4 vmlinux

Alexander van Heukelum 6fd92b63d0 x86: change x86 to use generic find_next_bit
The versions with inline assembly are in fact slower on the machines I
tested them on (in userspace) (Athlon XP 2800+, p4-like Xeon 2.8GHz, AMD
Opteron 270). The i386-version needed a fix similar to 06024f21 to avoid
crashing the benchmark.

Benchmark using: gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -Os. For each bitmap size
1...512, for each possible bitmap with one bit set, for each possible
offset: find the position of the first bit starting at offset. If you
follow ;). Times include setup of the bitmap and checking of the
results.

		Athlon		Xeon		Opteron 32/64bit
x86-specific:	0m3.692s	0m2.820s	0m3.196s / 0m2.480s
generic:	0m2.622s	0m1.662s	0m2.100s / 0m1.572s

If the bitmap size is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, and no set
(cleared) bit is found, find_next_bit (find_next_zero_bit) returns a
value outside of the range [0, size]. The generic version always returns
exactly size. The generic version also uses unsigned long everywhere,
while the x86 versions use a mishmash of int, unsigned (int), long and
unsigned long.

Using the generic version does give a slightly bigger kernel, though.

Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4

gcc mainline (upcoming 4.4) added a new -Wframe-larger-than=...
option to warn at build time about too large stack frames. Add a config
option to enable this warning, since this very useful for the kernel.

I choose (somewhat arbitarily) 2048 as default warning threshold for 64bit
and 1024 as default for 32bit architectures.  With some research and
fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably
lowered.

With the default allyesconfigs have some new warnings, but I think
that is all code that should be just fixed.

At some point (when gcc 4.4 is released and widely used) this should

Mike Travis 30ca60c15a cpumask: add cpumask_scnprintf_len function
Add a new function cpumask_scnprintf_len() to return the number of
characters needed to display "len" cpumask bits.  The current method
of allocating NR_CPUS bytes is incorrect as what's really needed is
9 characters per 32-bit word of cpumask bits (8 hex digits plus the
seperator [','] or the terminating NULL.)  This function provides the
caller the means to allocate the correct string length.

Dave Hansen ad775f5a8f [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: debugging for missed calls
There have been a few oopses caused by 'struct file's with NULL f_vfsmnts.
There was also a set of potentially missed mnt_want_write()s from
dentry_open() calls.

This patch provides a very simple debugging framework to catch these kinds of
bugs.  It will WARN_ON() them, but should stop us from having any oopses or
mnt_writer count imbalances.

I'm quite convinced that this is a good thing because it found bugs in the
stuff I was working on as soon as I wrote it.

[hch: made it conditional on a debug option.
      But it's still a little bit too ugly]

Jason Wessel e8d31c204e kgdb: add kgdb internal test suite
This patch adds regression tests for testing the kgdb core and arch
specific implementation.

The kgdb test suite is designed to be built into the kernel and not as
a module because it uses a number of low level kernel and kgdb
primitives which should not be exported externally.

The kgdb test suite is designed as a KGDB I/O module which
simulates the communications that a debugger would have with kgdb.
The tests are broken up in to a line by line and referenced here as
a "get" which is kgdb requesting input and "put" which is kgdb
sending a response.

The kgdb suite can be invoked from the kernel command line
arguments system or executed dynamically at run time.  The test
suite uses the variable "kgdbts" to obtain the information about
which tests to run and to configure the verbosity level.  The
following are the various characters you can use with the kgdbts=
line:

When using the "kgdbts=" you only choose one of the following core
test types:
A = Run all the core tests silently
V1 = Run all the core tests with minimal output
V2 = Run all the core tests in debug mode

You can also specify optional tests:
N## = Go to sleep with interrupts of for ## seconds
      to test the HW NMI watchdog
F## = Break at do_fork for ## iterations
S## = Break at sys_open for ## iterations

NOTE: that the do_fork and sys_open tests are mutually exclusive.

To invoke the kgdb test suite from boot you use a kernel start
argument as follows:
	kgdbts=V1 kgdbwait
Or if you wanted to perform the NMI test for 6 seconds and do_fork
test for 100 forks, you could use:
	kgdbts=V1N6F100 kgdbwait

The test suite can also be invoked at run time with:
echo kgdbts=V1N6F100 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
Or as another example:
echo kgdbts=V2 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts

When developing a new kgdb arch specific implementation or
using these tests for the purpose of regression testing,
several invocations are required.

1) Boot with the test suite enabled by using the kernel arguments
      "kgdbts=V1F100 kgdbwait"
   ## If kgdb arch specific implementation has NMI use
      "kgdbts=V1N6F100

2) After the system boot run the basic test.
echo kgdbts=V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts

3) Run the concurrency tests.  It is best to use n+1
   while loops where n is the number of cpus you have
   in your system.  The example below uses only two
   loops.

## This tests break points on sys_open
while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done &
while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done &
echo kgdbts=V1S10000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
fg # and hit control-c
fg # and hit control-c
## This tests break points on do_fork
while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done &
while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done &
echo kgdbts=V1F1000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
fg # and hit control-c

Paul Mackerras d9024df02f [LMB] Restructure allocation loops to avoid unsigned underflow
There is a potential bug in __lmb_alloc_base where we subtract `size'
from the base address of a reserved region without checking whether
the subtraction could wrap around and produce a very large unsigned
value.  In fact it probably isn't possible to hit the bug in practice
since it would only occur in the situation where we can't satisfy the
allocation request and there is a reserved region starting at 0.

This fixes the potential bug by breaking out of the loop when we get
to the point where the base of the reserved region is less than the
size requested.  This also restructures the loop to be a bit easier to
follow.

The same logic got copied into lmb_alloc_nid_unreserved, so this makes
a similar change there.  Here the bug is more likely to be hit because
the outer loop  (in lmb_alloc_nid) goes through the memory regions in
increasing order rather than decreasing order as __lmb_alloc_base
does, and we are therefore more likely to hit the case where we are
testing against a reserved region with a base address of 0.

David S. Miller c50f68c8ae [LMB] Add lmb_alloc_nid()
A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified
NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails.

The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the
allocator.  It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer
'this_nid'.

It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start',
and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory
assosciated with 'nid' ends.

This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just
about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might
not be working yet.

This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also
it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted
"careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c

If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers,
it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.

..

These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not
flood the syslog with them.

The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody
made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a
valid input to store_uevent().

Eg.  "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to
require "add" without the '\0'.

This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code
once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present.

According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as
the one I have here that requires this fix.

Linus Torvalds b9e76a0074 x86-32: Pass the full resource data to ioremap()
It appears that 64-bit PCI resources cannot possibly ever have worked on
x86-32 even when the RESOURCES_64BIT config option was set, because any
driver that tried to [pci_]ioremap() the resource would have been unable
to do so because the high 32 bits would have been silently dropped on
the floor by the ioremap() routines that only used "unsigned long".

Change them to use "resource_size_t" instead, which properly encodes the
whole 64-bit resource data if RESOURCES_64BIT is enabled.

Jan Beulich b15a3891c9 avoid endless loops in lib/swiotlb.c
Commit 681cc5cd3e ("iommu sg merging:
swiotlb: respect the segment boundary limits") introduced two
possibilities for entering an endless loop in lib/swiotlb.c:

 - if max_slots is zero (possible if mask is ~0UL)
 - if the number of slots requested fits into a swiotlb segment, but is
   too large for the part of a segment which remains after considering
   offset_slots

This fixes them

FUJITA Tomonori 3715863aa1 iommu: export iommu_is_span_boundary helper function
iommu_is_span_boundary is used internally in the IOMMU helper
(lib/iommu-helper.c), a primitive function that judges whether a memory area
spans LLD's segment boundary or not.

It's difficult to convert some IOMMUs to use the IOMMU helper but
iommu_is_span_boundary is still useful for them.  So this patch exports it.

This is needed for the parisc iommu fixes.

Kumar Gala 74b20dad1c [LMB]: Fix lmb_add_region if region should be added at the head
We introduced a bug in fixing lmb_add_region to handle an initial
region being non-zero.  Before that fix it was impossible to insert a
region at the head of the list since the first region always started
at zero.

Now that its possible for the first region to be non-zero we need to
check to see if the new region should be added at the head and if so
actually add it.

Denys Vlasenko 9b706aee7d x86: trivial printk optimizations
In arch/x86/boot/printf.c gets rid of unused tail of digits: const char
*digits = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; (we are using 0-9a-f
only)

Uses smaller/faster lowercasing (by ORing with 0x20)
if we know that we work on numbers/digits. Makes
strtoul smaller, and also we are getting rid of

  static const char small_digits[] = "0123456789abcdefx";
  static const char large_digits[] = "0123456789ABCDEFX";

since this works equally well:

  static const char digits[16] = "0123456789ABCDEF";

Size savings:

$ size vmlinux.org vmlinux
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 877320  112252   90112 1079684  107984 vmlinux.org
 877048  112252   90112 1079412  107874 vmlinux

It may be also a tiny bit faster because code has less
branches now, but I doubt it is measurable.

Yi Yang 06b2a76d25 Add new string functions strict_strto* and convert kernel params to use them
Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for
implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate
things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are
calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are
just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and
1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores
succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input
is acctually invalid.

This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements
strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly
validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and
returns an error:

write error: Invalid argument

Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of
simple_strtox to reject any invalid input.

Here are some test results:

Christoph Lameter 8ff12cfc00 SLUB: Support for performance statistics
The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but
at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in
SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the
statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache
footprint of SLUB.

There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime
statistics and its off by default.

The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options:

-D 	Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size
	mode to activity mode.

-A	Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of
	the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load.

-r	Report option will report detailed statistics on

Example (tbench load):

slabinfo -AD		->Shows the most active slabs

:0000768                   258     7174     6931  58  15

So the skbuff_fclone_cache is of highest importance for the tbench load.
Pretty high load on the 192 sized slab. Look for the aliases

slabinfo -a | grep 000192
:0000192     <- xfs_btree_cur filp kmalloc-192 uid_cache tw_sock_TCP
	request_sock_TCPv6 tw_sock_TCPv6 skbuff_head_cache xfs_ili

Likely skbuff_head_cache.


Looking into the statistics of the skbuff_fclone_cache is possible through

slabinfo skbuff_fclone_cache	->-r option implied if cache name is mentioned

Descriptions of the output:

Fastpath:	The number of allocations/frees that used the fastpath.

Slowpath:	Other allocations

Page Alloc:	Number of calls to the page allocator as a result of slowpath
		processing

Add Partial:	Number of slabs added to the partial list through free or
		alloc (occurs during cpuslab flushes)

Remove Partial:	Number of slabs removed from the partial list as a result of
		allocations retrieving a partial slab or by a free freeing
		the last object of a slab.

RemoteObj/Froz:	How many times were remotely freed object encountered when a
		slab was about to be deactivated. Frozen: How many times was
		free able to skip list processing because the slab was in use
		as the cpuslab of another processor.

Flushes:	Number of times the cpuslab was flushed on request
		(kmem_cache_shrink, may result from races in __slab_alloc)

Refill:		Number of times we were able to refill the cpuslab from
		remotely freed objects for the same slab.

Deactivate:	Statistics how slabs were deactivated. Shows how they were
		put onto the partial list.

In general fastpath is very good. Slowpath without partial list processing is
also desirable. Any touching of partial list uses node specific locks which
may potentially cause list lock contention.

Nick Piggin e2848a0efe radix-tree: avoid atomic allocations for preloaded insertions
Most pagecache (and some other) radix tree insertions have the great
opportunity to preallocate a few nodes with relaxed gfp flags.  But the
preallocation is squandered when it comes time to allocate a node, we
default to first attempting a GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- that doesn't
normally fail, but it can eat into atomic memory reserves that we don't
need to be using.

Another upshot of this is that it removes the sometimes highly contended
zone->lock from underneath tree_lock.  Pagecache insertions are always
performed with a radix tree preload, and after this change, such a
situation will never fall back to kmem_cache_alloc within
radix_tree_node_alloc.

David Miller reports seeing this allocation fail on a highly threaded
sparc64 system:

[527319.459981] dd: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x20

The calltrace is significant: __do_page_cache_readahead allocates a number
of pages with GFP_KERNEL, and hence it should have reclaimed sufficient
memory to satisfy GFP_ATOMIC allocations.  However after the list of pages
goes to mpage_readpages, there can be significant intervals (including disk
IO) before all the pages are inserted into the radix-tree.  So the reserves
can easily be depleted at that point.  The patch is confirmed to fix the
problem.

Bernhard Kaindl f212ec4b7b x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early)
This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.

If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.

With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.

In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.

An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.

A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt
and I've put a copy online at
ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt

It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it
another copy of it is online at:

Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 8c1c935642 x86: kprobes: add kprobes smoke tests that run on boot
Here is a quick and naive smoke test for kprobes. This is intended to
just verify if some unrelated change broke the *probes subsystem. It is
self contained, architecture agnostic and isn't of any great use by itself.

This needs to be built in the kernel and runs a basic set of tests to
verify if kprobes, jprobes and kretprobes run fine on the kernel. In case
of an error, it'll print out a message with a "BUG" prefix.

This is a start; we intend to add more tests to this bucket over time.

Thanks to Jim Keniston and Masami Hiramatsu for comments and suggestions.

Eric Dumazet 571e768202 [LIB] pcounter : unline too big functions
Before pushing pcounter to Linus tree, I would like to make some adjustments.

Goal is to reduce kernel text size, by unlining too big functions.

When a pcounter is bound to a statically defined per_cpu variable,
we define two small helpers functions. (No more folding function
using the fat for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) ... )

static DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, NAME##_pcounter_values);
static void NAME##_pcounter_add(struct pcounter *self, int val)
{
       __get_cpu_var(NAME##_pcounter_values) += val;
}
static int NAME##_pcounter_getval(const struct pcounter *self, int cpu)
{
       return per_cpu(NAME##_pcounter_values, cpu);
}

Fast path is therefore unchanged, while folding/alloc/free is now unlined.

This saves 228 bytes on i386

Kay Sievers 0f4dafc056 Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unref
We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper
cleanup when the last reference is dropped.

If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from
sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and
the allocated resources are released.

This allows us to clean up some driver core usage as well as allowing us
to do other such changes to the rest of the kernel.

Alan Stern 09f82ea928 Kobject: drop child->parent ref at unregistration
This patch (as1015) reverts changes that were made to the driver core
about four years ago.  The intent back then was to avoid certain kinds
of invalid memory accesses by leaving kernel objects allocated as long
as any of their children were still allocated.  The original and
correct approach was to wait only as long as any children were still
_registered_; that's what this patch reinstates.

This fixes a problem in the SCSI core made visible by the class_device
to regular device conversion: A reference loop (scsi_device holds
reference to request_queue, which is the child of a gendisk, which is
the child of the scsi_device) prevents the data structures from being
released, even though they are deregistered okay.

It's possible that this change will cause a few bugs to surface,
things that have been hidden for several years.  They can be fixed
easily enough by having the child device take an explicit reference to
the parent whenever needed.

Peter Zijlstra f16b34aa13 lib: proportion: fix underflow in prop_norm_percpu()
Zhe Jiang noticed that its possible to underflow pl->events in
prop_norm_percpu() when the value returned by percpu_counter_read() is less
than the error on that read and the period delay > 1.  In that case half might
not trigger the batch increment and the value will be identical on the next
iteration, causing the same half to be subtracted again and again.

Fix this by rewriting the division as a single subtraction instead of a
subtraction loop and using percpu_counter_sum() when the value returned by
percpu_counter_read() is smaller than the error.

The latter is still needed if we want pl->events to shrink properly in the
error region.

Livio Soares c7af77b584 sched: mark rwsem functions as __sched for wchan/profiling
This following commit

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fdf8cb0909b531f9ae8f9b9d7e4eb35ba3505f07

un-inlined a low-level rwsem function, but did not mark it as __sched.
The result is that it now shows up as thread wchan (which also affects
/proc/profile stats).  The following simple patch fixes this by properly
marking rwsem_down_failed_common() as a __sched function.

Also in this patch, which is up for discussion, marks down_read() and
down_write() proper as __sched.  For profiling, it is pretty much
useless to know that a semaphore is beig help - it is necessary to know
_which_ one.  By going up another frame on the stack, the information
becomes much more useful.

In summary, the below change to lib/rwsem.c should be applied; the
changes to kernel/rwsem.c could be applied if other kernel hackers agree
with my proposal that down_read()/down_write() in the profile is not
enough.

However, it is quite normal for one or more years to pass, before the
