63e14626ed mmc_spi: mmc_spi.h should include linux/interrupts.h
Since mmc_spi.h uses irqreturn_t type, it should include appropriate
header, otherwise build will break if users didn't include it (some of
them do not use interrupts).

ad90c0e3ce ftrace: user update and disable dynamic ftrace daemon
In dynamic ftrace, the mcount function starts off pointing to a stub
function that just returns.

On start up, the call to the stub is modified to point to a "record_ip"
function. The job of the record_ip function is to add the function to
a pre-allocated hash list. If the function is already there, it simply is
ignored, otherwise it is added to the list.

Later, a ftraced daemon wakes up and calls kstop_machine if any functions
have been recorded, and changes the calls to the recorded functions to
a simple nop.  If no functions were recorded, the daemon goes back to sleep.

The daemon wakes up once a second to see if it needs to update any newly
recorded functions into nops.  Usually it does not, but if a lot of code
has been executed for the first time in the kernel, the ftraced daemon
will call kstop_machine to update those into nops.

The problem currently is that there's no way to stop the daemon from doing
this, and it can cause unneeded latencies (800us which for some is bothersome).

This patch adds a new file /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled. If the daemon
is active, reading this will return "enabled\n" and "disabled\n" when the
daemon is not running. To disable the daemon, the user can echo "0" or
"disable" into this file, and "1" or "enable" to re-enable the daemon.

Since the daemon is used to convert the functions into nops to increase
the performance of the system, I also added that anytime something is
written into the ftraced_enabled file, kstop_machine will run if there
are new functions that have been detected that need to be converted.

This way the user can disable the daemon but still be able to control the
conversion of the mcount calls to nops by simply,

  "echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled"

when they need to do more conversions.

To see the number of converted functions:

  "cat /debugfs/tracing/dyn_ftrace_total_info"

ca05a99a54 capabilities: remain source compatible with 32-bit raw legacy capability support.
Source code out there hard-codes a notion of what the
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION #define means in terms of the semantics of the
raw capability system calls capget() and capset().  Its unfortunate, but
true.

Since the confusing header file has been in a released kernel, there is
software that is erroneously using 64-bit capabilities with the semantics
of 32-bit compatibilities.  These recently compiled programs may suffer
corruption of their memory when sys_getcap() overwrites more memory than
they are coded to expect, and the raising of added capabilities when using
sys_capset().

As such, this patch does a number of things to clean up the situation
for all. It

  1. forces the _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION define to always retain its
     legacy value.

  2. adopts a new #define strategy for the kernel's internal
     implementation of the preferred magic.

  3. deprecates v2 capability magic in favor of a new (v3) magic
     number. The functionality of v3 is entirely equivalent to v2,
     the only difference being that the v2 magic causes the kernel
     to log a "deprecated" warning so the admin can find applications
     that may be using v2 inappropriately.

[User space code continues to be encouraged to use the libcap API which
protects the application from details like this.  libcap-2.10 is the first
to support v3 capabilities.]

Fixes issue reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447518.

5adad01339 Input: rename SW_RADIO to SW_RFKILL_ALL
The SW_RADIO code for EV_SW events has a name that is not descriptive
enough of its intended function, and could induce someone to think
KEY_RADIO is its EV_KEY counterpart, which is false.

Rename it to SW_RFKILL_ALL, and document what this event is for.  Keep
the old name around, to avoid userspace ABI breaks.

The SW_RFKILL_ALL event is meant to be used by rfkill master switches.  It
is not bound to a particular radio switch type, and usually applies to all
types.  It is semantically tied to master rfkill switches that enable or
disable every radio in a system.

b4f68be6c5 virtio: force callback on empty.
virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for
efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization).

There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications
coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the
ring is completely full.

It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores
callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network
driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise
has to use a timer to poll.

We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver
has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable
anyway).

f7f510ec19 virtio: An entropy device, as suggested by hpa.
Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very
little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into
the kernel entropy pool.

Included:
	virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio

	If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address
	in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this
	can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate
	random_data dynamically with kmalloc.

sometimes it is useful to share a disk (e.g. usr). To avoid file system
corruption, the disk should be mounted read-only in that case. This patch

ea3f01f8af sched: re-tune NUMA topologies
improve the sysbench ramp-up phase and its peak throughput on
a 16way NUMA box, by turning on WAKE_AFFINE:

             tip/sched   tip/sched+wake-affine
-------------------------------------------------
    1:             700              830    +15.65%

-------------------------------------------------
  SUM:           57558            57882    +0.56%

this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec:

  $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
  "size=0k ovr=1.19
  2 1.11

  $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
  "size=0k ovr=1.22
  2 6.69

in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients
side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload
a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE:

              wake-idle          wake-idle+newidle
 -------------------------------------------------
     1:             830              834    +0.43%
     2:            1391             1401    +0.65%
     4:            3105             3091    -0.43%

    16:           10745            10736    -0.08%
    32:           10150            10206    +0.55%
    64:            9240             9533    +3.08%
   128:            8252             8355    +1.24%
   256:            8144             8384    +2.87%
 -------------------------------------------------
   SUM:           57882            58591    +1.21%

as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but
also improves the (more important) rampup phase.

sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the
scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement
under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.

0e91398f2a xen: implement save/restore
This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration.

Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in
drivers/xen/manage.c.  When a suspend request comes in, the kernel
prepares itself for saving by:

1 - Freeze all processes.  This is primarily to prevent any
    partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend
    process.  If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary.

2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices

3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent.  The
    Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0.

4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under
    construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other
    pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally

5 - Suspend the domain

Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all
the frozen processes are thawed.

9e124fe16f xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummy
Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
behind /dev/console).  This is normally tty (assuming
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).

This is okay as long tty is a useful console.  But unless we have the
PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
merely a dummy.  In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
kernel command line.  Commit b8c2d3dfbc
did that for us.

Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
again, but only when PVFB is enabled.  But even then we still want to
enable the Xen console as well.

Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
enabled.  By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup
game is over.

Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred
console.  Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes
successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

41c52c0db9 ftrace: set_ftrace_notrace feature
While debugging latencies in the RT kernel, I found that it would be nice
to be able to filter away functions from the trace than just to filter
on functions.

I added a new interface to the debugfs tracing directory called

  set_ftrace_notrace

When dynamic frace is enabled, this lets you filter away functions that will
not be recorded in the trace. It is similar to adding 'notrace' to those
functions but by doing it without recompiling the kernel.

Here's how set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace interact. Remember, if
set_ftrace_filter is set, it removes all functions from the trace execpt for
those listed in the set_ftrace_filter. set_ftrace_notrace will prevent those
functions from being traced.

If you were to set one function in both set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace and that function was the same, then you would end up
with an empty trace.

the set of functions to trace is:

  set_ftrace_filter == empty then

     all functions not in set_ftrace_notrace

  else

     set of the set_ftrace_filter and not in set of set_ftrace_notrace.

cbaffba12c posix timers: discard SI_TIMER signals on exec
Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements
from the very beginning, and then by Linus.

As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal
because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending
signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this
surprising. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10460

c801ed3860 x86 boot: simplify pageblock_bits enum declaration
The use of #defines with '##' pre-processor concatenation is a useful
way to form several symbol names with a common pattern.  But when there
is just a single name obtained from that #define, it's just obfuscation.
Better to just write the plain symbol name, as is.

The following patch is a result of my wasting ten minutes looking through
the kernel to figure out what 'PB_migrate_end' meant, and forgetting what
I came to do, by the time I figured out that the #define PB_range macro
defined it.

net/core/dev.c: open_softirq(NET_TX_SOFTIRQ, net_tx_action, NULL);
net/core/dev.c: open_softirq(NET_RX_SOFTIRQ, net_rx_action, NULL);

This observation has already been made by Matthew Wilcox in June 2002
(http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-25/0687.html)

"I notice that none of the current softirq routines use the data element
passed to them."

and the situation hasn't changed since them. So it appears we can safely
remove that extra argument to save 128 (54) bytes of kernel data (text).

dfc7064500 md: restart recovery cleanly after device failure.
When we get any IO error during a recovery (rebuilding a spare), we abort
the recovery and restart it.

For RAID6 (and multi-drive RAID1) it may not be best to restart at the
beginning: when multiple failures can be tolerated, the recovery may be
able to continue and re-doing all that has already been done doesn't make
sense.

We already have the infrastructure to record where a recovery is up to
and restart from there, but it is not being used properly.
This is because:
  - We sometimes abort with MD_RECOVERY_ERR rather than just MD_RECOVERY_INTR,
    which causes the recovery not be be checkpointed.
  - We remove spares and then re-added them which loses important state
    information.

The distinction between MD_RECOVERY_ERR and MD_RECOVERY_INTR really isn't
needed.  If there is an error, the relevant drive will be marked as
Faulty, and that is enough to ensure correct handling of the error.  So we
first remove MD_RECOVERY_ERR, changing some of the uses of it to
MD_RECOVERY_INTR.

Then we cause the attempt to remove a non-faulty device from an array to
fail (unless recovery is impossible as the array is too degraded).  Then
when remove_and_add_spares attempts to remove the devices on which
recovery can continue, it will fail, they will remain in place, and
recovery will continue on them as desired.

Issue:  If we are halfway through rebuilding a spare and another drive
fails, and a new spare is immediately available,  do we want to:
 1/ complete the current rebuild, then go back and rebuild the new spare or
 2/ restart the rebuild from the start and rebuild both devices in
    parallel.

Both options can be argued for.  The code currently takes option 2 as
  a/ this requires least code change
  b/ this results in a minimally-degraded array in minimal time.

90b08710e4 md: allow parallel resync of md-devices.
In some configurations, a raid6 resync can be limited by CPU speed
(Calculating P and Q and moving data) rather than by device speed.  In
these cases there is nothing to be gained byt serialising resync of arrays
that share a device, and doing the resync in parallel can provide benefit.
 So add a sysfs tunable to flag an array as being allowed to resync in
parallel with other arrays that use (a different part of) the same device.

138295373c ftrace: mmiotrace update, #2
another weekend, another patch. This should apply on top of my previous patch
from March 23rd.

Summary of changes:
- Print PCI device list in output header
- work around recursive probe hits on SMP
- refactor dis/arm_kmmio_fault_page() and add check for page levels
- remove un/reference_kmmio(), the die notifier hook is registered
permanently into the list
- explicitly check for single stepping in die notifier callback

I have tested this version on my UP Athlon64 desktop with Nouveau, and
SMP Core 2 Duo laptop with the proprietary nvidia driver. Both systems
are 64-bit. One previously unknown bug crept into daylight: the ftrace
framework's output routines print the first entry last after buffer has
wrapped around.

The most important regressions compared to non-ftrace mmiotrace at this
time are:
- failure of trace_pipe file
- illegal lines in output file
- unaware of losing data due to buffer full

Personally I'd like to see these three solved before submitting to
mainline. Other issues may come up once we know when we lose events.

bd8ac686c7 ftrace: mmiotrace, updates
here is a patch that makes mmiotrace work almost well within the tracing
framework. The patch applies on top of my previous patch. I have my own
output formatting in place now.

Summary of changes:
- fix the NULL dereference that was due to not calling tracing_reset()
- add print_line() callback into struct tracer
- implement print_line() for mmiotrace, producing up-to-spec text
- add my output header, but that is not really called in the right place
- rewrote the main structs in mmiotrace
- added two new trace entry types: TRACE_MMIO_RW and TRACE_MMIO_MAP
- made some functions in trace.c non-static
- check current==NULL in tracing_generic_entry_update()
- fix(?) comparison in trace_seq_printf()

Things seem to work fine except a few issues. Markers (text lines injected
into mmiotrace log) are missing, I did not feel hacking them in before we
have variable length entries. My output header is printed only for 'trace'
file, but not 'trace_pipe'. For some reason, despite my quick fix,
iter->trace is NULL in print_trace_line() when called from 'trace_pipe'
file, which means I don't get proper output formatting.

I only tried by loading nouveau.ko, which just detects the card, and that
is traced fine. I didn't try further. Map, two reads and unmap. Works
perfectly.

I am missing the information about overflows, I'd prefer to have a
counter for lost events. I didn't try, but I guess currently there is no
way of knowning when it overflows?

So, not too far from being fully operational, it seems :-)
And looking at the diffstat, there also is some 700-900 lines of user space
code that just became obsolete.
