commit 2c45aada341121438affc4cb8d5b4cfaa2813d3d upstream.

In allmodconfig builds for sparc and any other arch which does
not set CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ, the following will be seen at modpost:

  CC [M]  lib/cpu-notifier-error-inject.o
  CC [M]  lib/pm-notifier-error-inject.o
ERROR: "irq_to_desc" [drivers/gpio/gpio-mcp23s08.ko] undefined!
make[2]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

This happens because commit 3911ff30f5 ("genirq: export
handle_edge_irq() and irq_to_desc()") added one export for it, but
there were actually two instances of it, in an if/else clause for
CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ.  Add the second one.

commit d651aa1d68a2f0a7ee65697b04c6a92f8c0a12f2 upstream.

Each sub-buffer (buffer page) has a full 64 bit timestamp. The events on
that page use a 27 bit delta against that timestamp in order to save on
bits written to the ring buffer. If the time between events is larger than
what the 27 bits can hold, a "time extend" event is added to hold the
entire 64 bit timestamp again and the events after that hold a delta from
that timestamp.

As a "time extend" is always paired with an event, it is logical to just
allocate the event with the time extend, to make things a bit more efficient.

Unfortunately, when the pairing code was written, it removed the "delta = 0"
from the first commit on a page, causing the events on the page to be
slightly skewed.

commit 80d767d770fd9c697e434fd080c2db7b5c60c6dd upstream.

When compiling for the IA-64 ski emulator, HZ is set to 32 because the
emulation is slow and we don't want to waste too many cycles processing
timers. Alpha also has an option to set HZ to 32.

This causes integer underflow in
kernel/time/jiffies.c:
kernel/time/jiffies.c:66:2: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow]
  .mult  = NSEC_PER_JIFFY &lt;&lt; JIFFIES_SHIFT, /* details above */
  ^

This patch reduces the JIFFIES_SHIFT value to avoid the overflow.

commit 5a21d489fd9541a4a66b9a500659abaca1b19a51 upstream.

 1. Do not allocate memory for buffers from emergency pools, unless
    absolutely required. Do not warn about and do not retry non-essential
    failed allocations.

 2. Do not check the amount of free pages left on every single page
    write, but wait until one map is completely populated and then check.

 3. Set maximum number of pages for read buffering consistently, instead
    of inadvertently depending on the size of the sector type.

 4. Fix copyright line, which I missed when I submitted the hibernation
    threading patch.

 5. Dispense with bit shifting arithmetic to improve readability.

 6. Really recalculate the number of pages required to be free after all
    allocations have been done.

 7. Fix calculation of pages required for read buffering. Only count in
    pages that do not belong to high memory.

commit 5aaa0b7a2ed5b12692c9ffb5222182bd558d3146 upstream.

Follow up on commit 556061b00 ("sched/nohz: Fix rq-&gt;cpu_load[]
calculations") since while that fixed the busy case it regressed the
mostly idle case.

Add a callback from the nohz exit to also age the rq-&gt;cpu_load[]
array. This closes the hole where either there was no nohz load
balance pass during the nohz, or there was a 'significant' amount of
idle time between the last nohz balance and the nohz exit.

So we'll update unconditionally from the tick to not insert any
accidental 0 load periods while busy, and we try and catch up from
nohz idle balance and nohz exit. Both these are still prone to missing
a jiffy, but that has always been the case.

commit 556061b00c9f2fd6a5524b6bde823ef12f299ecf upstream.

While investigating why the load-balancer did funny I found that the
rq-&gt;cpu_load[] tables were completely screwy.. a bit more digging
revealed that the updates that got through were missing ticks followed
by a catchup of 2 ticks.

The catchup assumes the cpu was idle during that time (since only nohz
can cause missed ticks and the machine is idle etc..) this means that
esp. the higher indices were significantly lower than they ought to
be.

The reason for this is that its not correct to compare against jiffies
on every jiffy on any other cpu than the cpu that updates jiffies.

This patch cludges around it by only doing the catch-up stuff from
nohz_idle_balance() and doing the regular stuff unconditionally from
the tick.

<title>ftrace: Have function graph only trace based on global_ops filters</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1c2bd0db1189643691557ff34406906b053cef92</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 23a8e8441a0a74dd612edf81dc89d1600bc0a3d1 upstream.

Doing some different tests, I discovered that function graph tracing, when
filtered via the set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace files, does
not always keep with them if another function ftrace_ops is registered
to trace functions.

The reason is that function graph just happens to trace all functions
that the function tracer enables. When there was only one user of
function tracing, the function graph tracer did not need to worry about
being called by functions that it did not want to trace. But now that there
are other users, this becomes a problem.

For example, one just needs to do the following:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 # echo schedule &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 # echo function_graph &gt; current_tracer
 # cat trace
[..]
 0)               |  schedule() {
 ------------------------------------------
 0)    &lt;idle&gt;-0    =&gt;   rcu_pre-7
 ------------------------------------------

 0) ! 2980.314 us |  }
 0)               |  schedule() {
 ------------------------------------------
 0)   rcu_pre-7    =&gt;    &lt;idle&gt;-0
 ------------------------------------------

 0) + 20.701 us   |  }

 # echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled
 # cat trace
[..]
 1) + 20.825 us   |      }
 1) + 21.651 us   |    }
 1) + 30.924 us   |  } /* SyS_ioctl */
 1)               |  do_page_fault() {
 1)               |    __do_page_fault() {
 1)   0.274 us    |      down_read_trylock();
 1)   0.098 us    |      find_vma();
 1)               |      handle_mm_fault() {

 1)   0.102 us    |          preempt_count_add();
 1)   0.097 us    |          do_raw_spin_lock();

 1)   1.801 us    |          }

 1) + 13.083 us   |      }
 1)   0.146 us    |      up_read();

When the stack tracer was enabled, it enabled all functions to be traced, which
now the function graph tracer also traces. This is a side effect that should
not occur.

To fix this a test is added when the function tracing is changed, as well as when
the graph tracer is enabled, to see if anything other than the ftrace global_ops
function tracer is enabled. If so, then the graph tracer calls a test trampoline
that will look at the function that is being traced and compare it with the
filters defined by the global_ops.

As an optimization, if there's no other function tracers registered, or if
the only registered function tracers also use the global ops, the function
graph infrastructure will call the registered function graph callback directly
and not go through the test trampoline.

commit a4c35ed241129dd142be4cadb1e5a474a56d5464 upstream.

The synchronization needed after ftrace_ops are unregistered must happen
after the callback is disabled from becing called by functions.

The current location happens after the function is being removed from the
internal lists, but not after the function callbacks were disabled, leaving
the functions susceptible of being called after their callbacks are freed.

This affects perf and any externel users of function tracing (LTTng and
SystemTap).

commit 405e1d834807e51b2ebd3dea81cb51e53fb61504 upstream.

[ Partial commit backported to 3.4. The ftrace_sync() code by this is
  required for other fixes that 3.4 needs. ]

ftrace_trace_function is a variable that holds what function will be called
directly by the assembly code (mcount). If just a single function is
registered and it handles recursion itself, then the assembly will call that
function directly without any helper function. It also passes in the
ftrace_op that was registered with the callback. The ftrace_op to send is
stored in the function_trace_op variable.

The ftrace_trace_function and function_trace_op needs to be coordinated such
that the called callback wont be called with the wrong ftrace_op, otherwise
bad things can happen if it expected a different op. Luckily, there's no
callback that doesn't use the helper functions that requires this. But
there soon will be and this needs to be fixed.

Use a set_function_trace_op to store the ftrace_op to set the
function_trace_op to when it is safe to do so (during the update function
within the breakpoint or stop machine calls). Or if dynamic ftrace is not
being used (static tracing) then we have to do a bit more synchronization
when the ftrace_trace_function is set as that takes affect immediately
(as oppose to dynamic ftrace doing it with the modification of the trampoline).

The console_cpu_notify() function runs with interrupts disabled in the
CPU_DYING case.  It therefore cannot block, for example, as will happen
when it calls console_lock().  Therefore, remove the CPU_DYING leg of
the switch statement to avoid this problem.
