8aa84ad8d6 [CPUFREQ] Introduce global, not per core: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq
Currently everything in the cpufreq layer is per core based.
This does not reflect reality, for example ondemand on conservative
governors have global sysfs variables.

Introduce a global cpufreq directory and add the kobject to the governor
struct, so that governors can easily access it.
The directory is initialized in the cpufreq_core_init initcall and thus will
always be created if cpufreq is compiled in, even if no cpufreq driver is
active later.

0f6f290259 dcbnl: Add support for setapp/getapp commands to dcbnl
This patch adds dcbnl command definitions to support setapp/getapp
functionality from the IEEE 802.1Qaz Data Center Bridging Capability
Exchange protocol (DCBX) specification. Section 3.3 defines the
application protocol and its 802.1p user priority in DCBX, which is
implemented here as a pair of setapp/getapp commands in the kernel
dcbnl for setting and retrieving the user priority for an given
application protocol. The protocol is identified by the combination of
an id and an idtype. Currently, when idtype is 0, the corresponding
id gives the ether type of this protocol, e.g., for FCoE, it will be
0x8906; when idtype is 1, then the corresponding id gives the TCP or
UDP port number.

For more information regarding DCBX spec., please refer to the following:

cb45439977 net: Add ndo_fcoe_enable/ndo_fcoe_disable to net_device_ops
Add ndo_fcoe_enable/_disable to net_device_ops so the corresponding
HW can initialize itself for FCoE traffic or clean up after FCoE traffic is
done. This is expected to be called by the kernel FCoE stack upon receiving
a request for creating an FCoE instance on the corresponding netdev interface.
When implemented by the actual HW, the HW driver check the op code to perform
corresponding initialization or clean up for FCoE. The initialization normally
includes allocating extra queues for FCoE, setting corresponding HW registers
for FCoE, indicating FCoE offload features via netdev, etc. The clean-up would
include releasing the resources allocated for FCoE.

2b980dbd77 lsm: Add hooks to the TUN driver
The TUN driver lacks any LSM hooks which makes it difficult for LSM modules,
such as SELinux, to enforce access controls on network traffic generated by
TUN users; this is particularly problematic for virtualization apps such as
QEMU and KVM.  This patch adds three new LSM hooks designed to control the
creation and attachment of TUN devices, the hooks are:

 * security_tun_dev_create()
   Provides access control for the creation of new TUN devices

 * security_tun_dev_post_create()
   Provides the ability to create the necessary socket LSM state for newly
   created TUN devices

 * security_tun_dev_attach()
   Provides access control for attaching to existing, persistent TUN devices
   and the ability to update the TUN device's socket LSM state as necessary

bb7bed0825 locking: Simplify spinlock inlining
For !DEBUG_SPINLOCK && !PREEMPT && SMP the spin_unlock()
functions were always inlined by using special defines which
would call the __raw* functions.

The out-of-line variants for these functions would be generated
anyway.

Use the new per unlock/locking variant mechanism to force
inlining of the unlock functions like before. This is not a
functional change, we just get rid of one additional way to
force inlining.

892a7c67c1 locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks
This allows an architecture to specify per lock variant if the
locking code should be kept out-of-line or inlined.

If an architecure wants out-of-line locking code no change is
needed. To force inlining of e.g. spin_lock() the line:

  #define __always_inline__spin_lock

needs to be added to arch/<...>/include/asm/spinlock.h

If CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK or CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK are
defined the per architecture defines are (partly) ignored and
still out-of-line spinlock code will be generated.

init_preds() allocates about 5392 bytes of memory (on x86_32) for
a TRACE_EVENT. With my config, at system boot total memory occupied
is:

	5392 * (642 + 15) == 3459KB

642 == cat available_events | wc -l
15 == number of dirs in events/ftrace

That's quite a lot, so we'd better defer memory allocation util
it's needed, that's when filter is used.

dd5d19bafd rcu: Create rcutree plugins to handle hotplug CPU for multi-level trees
When offlining CPUs from a multi-level tree, there is the
possibility of offlining the last CPU from a given node when
there are preempted RCU read-side critical sections that
started life on one of the CPUs on that node.

In this case, the corresponding tasks will be enqueued via the
task_struct's rcu_node_entry list_head onto one of the
rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] lists.  These tasks need to be moved
somewhere else so that they will prevent the current grace
period from ending. That somewhere is the root rcu_node.

7285dd7fd3 clocksource: Resolve cpu hotplug dead lock with TSC unstable
Martin Schwidefsky analyzed it:
To register a clocksource the clocksource_mutex is acquired and if
necessary timekeeping_notify is called to install the clocksource as
the timekeeper clock. timekeeping_notify uses stop_machine which needs
to take cpu_add_remove_lock mutex.
Starting a new cpu is done with the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex held.
native_cpu_up checks the tsc of the new cpu and if the tsc is no good
clocksource_change_rating is called. Which needs the clocksource_mutex
and the deadlock is complete.

The solution is to replace the TSC via the clocksource watchdog
mechanism. Mark the TSC as unstable and schedule the watchdog work so
it gets removed in the watchdog thread context.

b62e408c05 flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsigned
It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as
part of the flex array API.

flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative
quantity, which is obviously erroneous.

flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in
dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before
struct flex_array.

The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as
unsigned.  Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max
array size based on element_size need not be changed.

might lead to infinite looping if called from lockdep.  So this patch
removes them.  Formal repost of http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/25/309
on the strength of Lai Jiangshan's review.

  tracing/events: fix the include file dependencies

Moved the TRACE_EVENT out of the ifdef protection of tracepoints.h
but uses the define of TRACE_EVENT itself as protection. This patch
adds comments to explain why.

5ac35daa93 tracing/events: fix the include file dependencies
The TRACE_EVENT depends on the include/linux/tracepoint.h first
and include/trace/ftrace.h later, if we include the ftrace.h early,
a building error will occur.

Both define TRACE_EVENT in trace_a.h and trace_b.h, if we include
those in .c file, like this:

#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
include <trace/events/trace_a.h>
include <trace/events/trace_b.h>

The above will not work, because the TRACE_EVENT was re-defined by
the previous .h file.

87a342f5db tracing/filters: Support filtering for char * strings
Usually, char * entries are dangerous in traces because the string
can be released whereas a pointer to it can still wait to be read from
the ring buffer.

But sometimes we can assume it's safe, like in case of RO data
(eg: __file__ or __line__, used in bkl trace event). If these RO data
are in a module and so is the call to the trace event, then it's safe,
because the ring buffer will be flushed once this module get unloaded.

To allow char * to be treated as a string:

	TRACE_EVENT(...,

		TP_STRUCT__entry(
			__field_ext(const char *, name, FILTER_PTR_STRING)
			...
		)

		...
	);

The filtering will not dereference "char *" unless the developer
explicitly sets FILTER_PTR_STR in __field_ext.

43b51ead3f tracing/filters: Add __field_ext() to TRACE_EVENT
Add __field_ext(), so a field can be assigned to a specific
filter_type, which matches a corresponding filter function.

For example, a later patch will allow this:
	__field_ext(const char *, str, FILTER_PTR_STR);

9741987586 tracing: Move tracepoint callbacks from declaration to definition
It's not strictly correct for the tracepoint reg/unreg callbacks to
occur when a client is hooking up, because the actual tracepoint may not
be present yet.  This happens to be fine for syscall, since that's in
the core kernel, but it would cause problems for tracepoints defined in
a module that hasn't been loaded yet.  It also means the reg/unreg has
to be EXPORTed for any modules to use the tracepoint (as in SystemTap).

This patch removes DECLARE_TRACE_WITH_CALLBACK, and instead introduces
DEFINE_TRACE_FN which stores the callbacks in struct tracepoint.  The
callbacks are used now when the active state of the tracepoint changes
in set_tracepoint & disable_tracepoint.

This also introduces TRACE_EVENT_FN, so ftrace events can also provide
registration callbacks if needed.
