Pull linus#master to merge PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES and alpha build fix
changes. As alpha in percpu tree uses 'weak' attribute instead of
inline assembly, there's no need for __used attribute.
Conflicts:
arch/alpha/include/asm/percpu.h
arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
include/linux/percpu-defs.h

Currently by default the output of kmemtrace is binary format instead
of human-readable output.
This patch makes the following changes:
- We'll see human-readable output by default
- We'll see binary output if 'bin' option is set
Note: you may probably need to explicitly disable context-info binary
output:
# echo 0 > options/context-info
# echo 1 > options/bin
# cat trace_pipe
v2:
- use %pF to print call_site

Today, register_console() assumes the following usage:
- The first console to register with a flag set to CON_BOOT
is the one and only bootconsole.
- If another register_console() is called with an additional
CON_BOOT, it is silently rejected.
- As soon as a console without the CON_BOOT set calls
registers the bootconsole is automatically unregistered.
- Once there is a "real" console - register_console() will
silently reject any consoles with it's CON_BOOT flag set.
In many systems (alpha, blackfin, microblaze, mips, powerpc,
sh, & x86), there are early_printk implementations, which use
the CON_BOOT which come out serial ports, vga, usb, & memory
buffers.
In many embedded systems, it would be nice to have two
bootconsoles - in case the primary fails, you always have
access to a backup memory buffer - but this requires at least
two CON_BOOT consoles...
This patch enables that functionality.
With the change applied, on boot you get (if you try to
re-enable a boot console after the "real" console has been
registered):
root:/> dmesg | grep console
bootconsole [early_shadow0] enabled
bootconsole [early_BFuart0] enabled
Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw earlyprintk=serial,uart0,57600 console=ttyBF0,57600 nmi_debug=regs
console handover:boot [early_BFuart0] boot [early_shadow0] -> real [ttyBF0]
Too late to register bootconsole early_shadow0
or:
root:/> dmesg | grep console
Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw console=ttyBF0,57600
console [ttyBF0] enabled

This adds the synchronize_sched_expedited() primitive that
implements the "big hammer" expedited RCU grace periods.
This primitive is placed in kernel/sched.c rather than
kernel/rcupdate.c due to its need to interact closely with the
migration_thread() kthread.
The idea is to wake up this kthread with req->task set to NULL,
in response to which the kthread reports the quiescent state
resulting from the kthread having been scheduled.
Because this patch needs to fallback to the slow versions of
the primitives in response to some races with CPU onlining and
offlining, a new synchronize_rcu_bh() primitive is added as
well.

We will lose something if trace_seq->buffer[0] is 0, because the copy length
is calculated by strlen() in seq_puts(), so using seq_write() instead of
seq_puts().
There have a example:
after reboot:
# echo kmemtrace > current_tracer
# echo 0 > options/kmem_minimalistic
# cat trace
# tracer: kmemtrace
#
#
Nothing is exported, because the first byte of trace_seq->buffer[ ]
is KMEMTRACE_USER_ALLOC.
( the value of KMEMTRACE_USER_ALLOC is zero, seeing
kmemtrace_print_alloc_user() in kernel/trace/kmemtrace.c)

during safety check (which ensures other cpus doesn't execute
all dirty slots), the safety check must be fail. So, we need to

This patch introduces a new sysctl:
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
which defaults to 0 (off).
When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.
The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.
This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.

The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.
Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.
This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit
and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

With the introduction of PERF_EVENT_READ we have the
possibility to provide accurate counter values for
individual tasks in a task hierarchy.
However, due to the lazy context switching used for similar
counter contexts our current per task counts are way off.
In order to maintain some of the lazy switch benefits we
don't disable it out-right, but simply iterate the active
counters and flip the values between the contexts.
This only reads the counters but does not need to reprogram
the full PMU.

In hunting down the cause for the hwlat_detector ring buffer spew in
my failed -next builds it became obvious that folks are now treating
ring_buffer as something that is generic independent of tracing and thus,
suitable for public driver consumption.

reliance on CONFIG_TRACING or CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER, provide stubs for
those and make it generally available.

Even though one cannot make use of the audit watch code without
CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL the spaghetti nature of the audit code means that
the audit rule filtering requires that it at least be compiled.
Thus build the audit_watch code when we build auditfilter like it was
before cfcad62c74abfef83762dc05a556d21bdf3980a2
Clearly this is a point of potential future cleanup..

commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which
modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write
access faults.
The patch was made on two wrong assumptions:
1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access.
On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check.
2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us.
That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call
mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that
call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the
actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again.
The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write
access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to
fault it in with verification of write access.
There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault
the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will
fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF
overhead.
If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it
anymore and need to bail out to user space.
Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer
stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to
__timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some
fields in the corresponding struct timer_list.
So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions
to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
when timer stats are disabled.
In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping
pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu
consumption by 1 - 1.5%.
This is part of a modified function trace output on SLES11:

When the output of set_ftrace_filter is larger than PAGE_SIZE,
t_hash_start() will be called the 2nd time, and then we start
from the head of a hlist, which is wrong and causes some entries
to be outputed twice.
The worse is, if the hlist is large enough, reading set_ftrace_filter
won't stop but in a dead loop.

It's rather confusing that in t_start(), in some cases @pos is
incremented, and in some cases it's decremented and then incremented.
This patch rewrites t_start() in a much more general way.
Thus we fix a bug that if ftrace_filtered == 1, functions have tracer
hooks won't be printed, because the branch is always unreachable:
static void *t_start(...)
{
...
if (!p)
return t_hash_start(m, pos);
return p;
}
Before:
# echo 'sys_open' > /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# echo 'sys_write:traceon:4' >> /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
sys_open
After:
# echo 'sys_open' > /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# echo 'sys_write:traceon:4' >> /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
sys_open
sys_write:traceon:count=4

It's wrong to increment @pos in g_start(). It causes some entries
lost when reading set_graph_function, if the output of the file
is larger than PAGE_SIZE.

The iterator is m->private, but it's not reset to trace_types in
t_start(). If the output is larger than PAGE_SIZE and t_start()
is called the 2nd time, things will go wrong.

While testing syscall tracepoints posted by Jason, I found 3 entries
were missing when reading available_events. The output size of
available_events is < 4 pages, which means we lost 1 entry per page.
The cause is, it's wrong to increment @pos in s_start().
Actually there's another bug here -- reading avaiable_events/set_events
can race with module unload:
# cat available_events |
s_start() |
s_stop() |
| # rmmod foo.ko
s_start() |
call = list_entry(m->private) |
@call might be freed and accessing it will lead to crash.
