To build a statically linked version of the perf tool all needed
libraries must be added in the correct order to get the symbols
resolved. Currently this is broken when, e.g. python or newt
support is enabled -- libpython needs libpthread which is an
unconditional link dependency of the perf tool; libslang needs
libm, another unconditional dependency. To solve the problem in
the long run without the need to keep track of transitive
library dependencies, simply make the linker look at the EXTLIBS
multiple times until it has all symbols resolved.

The fix to fix the printk_formats of modules broke the
printk_formats of trace_printks in the kernel.
The update of what to show via the seq_file was only updated
if the passed in fmt was NULL, which happens only on the first
iteration. The result was showing the first format every time
instead of iterating through the available formats.

Revert the commit that removed the disabling of interrupts around
the initial modifying of mcount callers to nops, and update the comment.
The original comment was outdated and stated that the interrupts were
being disabled to prevent kstop machine, which was required with the
old ftrace daemon, but was no longer the case.
What the comment failed to mention was that interrupts needed to be
disabled to keep interrupts from preempting the modifying of the code
and then executing the code that was partially modified.
Revert the commit and update the comment.

With gcc 4.6, the self test kprobe function:
kprobe_trace_selftest_target()
is optimized such that kallsyms does not list it. The kprobes
test uses this function to insert a probe and test it. But
it will fail the test if the function is not listed in kallsyms.
Adding a __used annotation keeps the symbol in the kallsyms table.

Turns out that distro packages use this file as an indicator of
the perf event subsystem - this is easier to check for from scripts
than the existence of the system call.
This is easy enough to keep around for the kernel, so add a
comment to make sure it stays so.

Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load:
. Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the
world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate
the error to the caller.
. Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel,
where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o
One of the fixed problems:
[root@emilia ~]# python
>>> import perf
Traceback (most recent call last):

This reverts commit a197b59ae6e8bee56fcef37ea2482dc08414e2ac.
As rmk says:
"Commit a197b59ae6e8 (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not
configured) is causing regressions on ARM with various drivers which
use GFP_DMA.
The behaviour up until now has been to silently ignore that flag when
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is not enabled, and to allocate from the normal zone.
However, as a result of the above commit, such allocations now fail
which causes drivers to fail. These are regressions compared to the
previous kernel version."
so just revert it.

Jens' back-merge commit 698567f3fa79 ("Merge commit 'v2.6.39' into
for-2.6.40/core") was incorrectly done, and re-introduced the
DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE lines that had been removed earlier in commits
- 9fd097b14918 ("block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for
legacy/fringe drivers")
- 7eec77a1816a ("ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd
and ide-cd")
because of conflicts with the "g->flags" updates near-by by commit
d4dc210f69bc ("block: don't block events on excl write for non-optical
devices")
As a result, we re-introduced the hanging behavior due to infinite disk
media change reports.
Tssk, tssk, people! Don't do back-merges at all, and *definitely* don't
do them to hide merge conflicts from me - especially as I'm likely
better at merging them than you are, since I do so many merges.

The comment in domain_remove_one_dev_info() states "No need to compare
PCI domain; it has to be the same". But for the si_domain that isn't
going to be true, as it consists of all the PCI devices that are
identity mapped thus multiple PCI domains can be in si_domain. The
code needs to validate the PCI domain too.

Mike Travis and Mike Habeck reported an issue where iova allocation
would return a range that was larger than a device's dma mask.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/29/423
The dmar initialization code will reserve all PCI MMIO regions and copy
those reservations into a domain specific iova tree. It is possible for
one of those regions to be above the dma mask of a device. It is typical
to allocate iovas with a 32bit mask (despite device's dma mask possibly
being larger) and cache the result until it exhausts the lower 32bit
address space. Freeing the iova range that is >= the last iova in the
lower 32bit range when there is still an iova above the 32bit range will
corrupt the cached iova by pointing it to a region that is above 32bit.
If that region is also larger than the device's dma mask, a subsequent
allocation will return an unusable iova and cause dma failure.
Simply don't cache an iova that is above the 32bit caching boundary.

When there are a large count of PCI devices, and the pass through
option for iommu is set, much time is spent in the identity_mapping
function hunting though the iommu domains to check if a specific
device is "identity mapped".
Speed up the function by checking the cached info to see if
it's mapped to the static identity domain.

The identity mapping code appears to make the assumption that if the
devices dma_mask is greater than 32bits the device can use identity
mapping. But that is not true: take the case where we have a 40bit
device in a 44bit architecture. The device can potentially receive a
physical address that it will truncate and cause incorrect addresses
to be used.
Instead check to see if the device's dma_mask is large enough
to address the system's dma_mask.

Commit a97590e5 added unlinking domains from iommus to reciprocate the
iommu from domains unlinking that was already done. We actually want
to only do this for device domains and never for the static
identity map domain or VM domains. The SI domain is special and
never freed, while VM domain->id lives in their own special address
space, separate from iommu->domain_ids.
In the current code, a VM can get domain->id zero, then mark that
domain unused when unbound from pci-stub. This leads to DMAR
write faults when the device is re-bound to the host driver.

There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the
internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping:
- size >= 2MiB, and
- virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and
- physical address aligned to 2MiB, and
- on hardware that supports superpages.
(and likewise for larger superpages).
We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to
worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always
*unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure
that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages.
Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so
it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always
extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is
simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small
pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same
virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page
tables freed.
Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a
chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required.

The original commit seen in the iommu-2.6.git was Youquan's
implementation (and completion) of my own half-baked code which I'd
typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'.
I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the
original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make
life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to
older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment
which (hopefully) gives a better explanation of what's going on.
The original sequence of commits leading to identical code was:
Youquan Song (3):
intel-iommu: super page support
intel-iommu: Fix superpage alignment calculation error
intel-iommu: Fix superpage level calculation error in dma_pfn_level_pte()
David Woodhouse (4):

.rwsem set and then calls sync_buffer() which locks buffer_mutex. In
sync_start() the buffer_mutex was set to prevent notifier functions to
be started before sync_start() is finished. But when registering the
notifier, (task_exit_notifier).rwsem is locked too, but now in
different order than in sync_buffer(). In theory this causes a locking
dependency, what does not occur in practice since task_exit_notify()
is always called after the notifier is registered which means the lock
is already released.
However, after checking the notifier functions it turned out the
buffer_mutex in sync_start() is unnecessary. This is because
sync_buffer() may be called from the notifiers even if sync_start()
did not finish yet, the buffers are already allocated but empty. No
need to protect this with the mutex.
So we fix this theoretical locking dependency by removing buffer_mutex
in sync_start(). This is similar to the implementation before commit:
750d857 oprofile: fix crash when accessing freed task structs
which introduced the locking dependency.

anything with an MPIC will crash on suspend if we register those
syscore ops unconditionally.

Commit cc3ce5176d83 (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing
a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation.
The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could
stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung
task detector due to on-demand wake-ups.
Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one
wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of
the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE
wait state.
[ The alternative would be teaching kthread_create() to start threads as
INTERRUPTIBLE but that needs a tad more thought. ]
