Impact: removal of unnecessary looping
The lockless part of the ring buffer allows for reentry into the code
from interrupts. A timestamp is taken, a test is preformed and if it
detects that an interrupt occurred that did tracing, it tries again.
The problem arises if the timestamp code itself causes a trace.
The detection will detect this and loop again. The difference between
this and an interrupt doing tracing, is that this will fail every time,
and cause an infinite loop.
Currently, we test if the loop happens 1000 times, and if so, it will
produce a warning and disable the ring buffer.
The problem with this approach is that it makes it difficult to perform
some types of tracing (tracing the timestamp code itself).
Each trace entry has a delta timestamp from the previous entry.
If a trace entry is reserved but and interrupt occurs and traces before
the previous entry is commited, the delta timestamp for that entry will
be zero. This actually makes sense in terms of tracing, because the
interrupt entry happened before the preempted entry was commited, so
one may consider the two happening at the same time. The order is
still preserved in the buffer.
With this idea, instead of trying to get a new timestamp if an interrupt
made it in between the timestamp and the test, the entry could simply
make the delta zero and continue. This will prevent interrupts or
tracers in the timer code from causing the above loop.

Impact: fix for bug on resize
This patch addresses the bug found here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11996
When ftrace converted to the new unified trace buffer, the resizing of
the buffer was not protected as much as it was originally. If tracing
is performed while the resize occurs, then the buffer can be corrupted.
This patch disables all ftrace buffer modifications before a resize
takes place.

This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to
use block layer tagging.
43a49cbdf31e812c0d8f553d433b09b421f5d52c
e013e13bf605b9e6b702adffbe2853cfc60e7806
2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18e
Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the
tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and
hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with
the current conversion.
The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for
non-NCQ commands. Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI
starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made. I'm not
sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it
doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the
frailty of ATA controllers.
So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc
allocation.

The "Exclude staging drivers" question is there so that we don't build
staging drivers for allyesconfig or allnoconfig settings, but it's very
irritating when you've already said "no" to staging drivers earlier.
There is absolutely no point in declining twice - once you've declined
the staging drivers, you're done.
So make the second question depend on the first question having been
answered in the affirmative.

Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some
situations" introduced a bug: on a directory in an exported ext3
filesystem with dir_index unset, a READDIR will only return about 250
entries, even if the directory was larger.
Bisected it back to this commit; reverting it fixes the problem.
It turns out that in this case ext3 reads a block at a time, then
returns from readdir, which means we can end up with buf.full==0 but
with more entries in the directory still to be read. Before 8d7c4203
(but after c002a6c797 "Optimise NFS readdir hack slightly"), this would
cause us to return the READDIR result immediately, but with the eof bit
unset. That could cause a performance regression (because the client
would need more roundtrips to the server to read the whole directory),
but no loss in correctness, since the cleared eof bit caused the client
to send another readdir. After 8d7c4203, the setting of the eof bit
made this a correctness problem.
So, move nfserr_eof into the loop and remove the buf.full check so that
we loop until buf.used==0. The following seems to do the right thing
and reduces the network traffic since we don't return a READDIR result
until the buffer is full.
Tested on an empty directory & large directory; eof is properly sent and
there are no more short buffers.

Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't
change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received
from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added
through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file
descriptors referring to it.
This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the
"inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't
previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs <
inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run.
Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which
are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in
unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a
candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU
architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user
mode preemption is disabled already. It is nevertheless a good idea to
better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit
memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter
value in the wrong order. On UP a simple compiler barrier is
sufficient.

Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its
argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may
be a result of a funtion call having side effects.
For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the
result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set
bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each
call. This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn).

in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:
659567 system_call 41222.9375
686796 schedule 435.7843
718382 __switch_to 665.1685
823875 switch_mm 4526.7857
1883122 native_read_tsc 55385.9412
9761990 total 2.8468
this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.
But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().
This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

Impact: change in trace output
Because the trace buffers are per cpu ring buffers, the start of
the trace can be confusing. If one CPU is very active at the
end of the trace, its history will not go as far back as the
other CPU traces. This means that output for a particular CPU
may not appear for the first part of a trace.
To help annotate what is happening, and to prevent any more
confusion, this patch adds a line that annotates the start of
a CPU buffer output.
For example:
automount-3495 [001] 184.596443: dnotify_parent <-vfs_write
[...]
automount-3495 [001] 184.596449: dput <-path_put
automount-3496 [002] 184.596450: down_read_trylock <-do_page_fault
[...]

<idle>-0 [000] 184.597074: __exit_idle <-exit_idle
[...]

<idle>-0 [003] 184.597261: exit_idle <-smp_apic_timer_interrupt

start with a '#'.

Impact: preemptoff not tested in selftest
Due to the BKL not being preemptable anymore, the selftest of the
preemptoff code can not be tested. It requires that it is called
with preemption enabled, but since the BKL is held, that is no
longer the case.
This patch simply skips those tests if it detects that the context
is not preemptable. The following will now show up in the tests:
Testing tracer preemptoff: can not test ... force PASSED
Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: can not test ... force PASSED
When the BKL is removed, or it becomes preemptable once again, then
the tests will be performed.

Impact: have the ftrace_printk enabled on startup
It is confusing to have to "echo trace_printk > /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl"
after adding ftrace_printk in the kernel.
Currently the trace_printk is set to off by default. ftrace_printk
should only be in open kernel code when used for debugging, and thus
it should be enabled by default.
It may also be used to record data within a tracer, but those ftrace_printks
should be within wrappers that are either enabled by trace_points or
have a variable protecting the code path from being entered when the
tracer is disabled.

Impact: fix to irqsoff tracer output
In converting to the new start / stop ftrace handling, the irqsoff
tracer start called the irqsoff reset function. irqsoff tracer is
not the same as the other traces, and it resets the buffers while
searching for the longest latency.
The reset that the irqsoff stop method calls disables the function
tracing. That means that, by starting the tracer, the function
tracer is disabled incorrectly.
This patch simply removes the call to reset which keeps the function
tracing enabled. Reset is not needed for the irqsoff stop method.
