Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature
Usage example:
mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
echo sched_switch >current_tracer
echo 1 >tracing_enabled
.... run application ...
echo 0 >tracing_enabled
Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'.
To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with
frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing).

allocate it dynamically
Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely
Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.
So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.
Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork
I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.

Impact: cleanup
Simplify the irq-sampled stack overflow debug check:
- eliminate an #idef

after the first such warning anyway)

Impact: make stack overflow debug check and printout narrower
stack_overflow_check() should consider the stack usage of pt_regs, and
thus it could warn us in advance. Additionally, it looks better for
the warning time to start at INITIAL_JIFFIES.
Assuming that rsp gets close to the check point before interrupt
arrives: when interrupt really happens, thread_info will be partly
overrode.

Impact: Reverts default reboot method.
Checkin 14d7ca5c575853664d8fe4f225a77b8df1b7de7d changed the default
reboot method to "pci", a.k.a. port CF9. Unfortunately this has been
shown to cause lockups on at least two systems for which REBOOT_KBD
worked, both Thinkpads with Intel chipsets. This reverts the default
to REBOOT_KBD, while leaving the option to have "reboot=pci" specified
explicitly or via a DMI match.

Impact: fix bootup crash
Even though it tested fine for me, there was still a bug in the
first patch: I have overlooked a call to ptregscall_common. This
patch fixes that, I think, but the code is never executed for
me while running a debian install... (I tested this by putting
an "1:jmp 1b" in there.)

When we migrate an interrupt from one CPU to another, we set the
move_in_progress flag and clean up the vectors later once they're not
being used. If you're unlucky and call destroy_irq() before the vectors
become un-used, the move_in_progress flag is never cleared, which causes
the interrupt to become unusable.
This was discovered by Jesse Brandeburg for whom it manifested as an
MSI-X device refusing to use MSI-X mode when the driver was unloaded
and reloaded repeatedly.

Impact: fix incorrect __init annotation
This patch removes the following section mismatch warning. A patch set
was send previously (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/10/407). But
introduce some other problem, reported by Rufus
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/11/46). Then Ingo Molnar suggest that,
it's best to remove __init from xsave_cntxt_init(void). Which is the
second patch in this series. Now, this one removes the following
warning.
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.cpuinit.text+0x2237): Section

Here is a combined patch that moves "save_args" out-of-line for
the interrupt macro and moves "error_entry" mostly out-of-line
for the zeroentry and errorentry macros.
The save_args function becomes really straightforward and easy
to understand, with the possible exception of the stack switch
code, which now needs to copy the return address of to the
calling function. Normal interrupts arrive with ((~vector)-0x80)
on the stack, which gets adjusted in common_interrupt:
<common_interrupt>:
(5) addq $0xffffffffffffff80,(%rsp) /* -> ~(vector) */
(4) sub $0x50,%rsp /* space for registers */
(5) callq ffffffff80211290 <save_args>
(5) callq ffffffff80214290 <do_IRQ>
<ret_from_intr>:
...
An apic interrupt stub now look like this:
<thermal_interrupt>:
(5) pushq $0xffffffffffffff05 /* ~(vector) */
(4) sub $0x50,%rsp /* space for registers */
(5) callq ffffffff80211290 <save_args>
(5) callq ffffffff80212b8f <smp_thermal_interrupt>
(5) jmpq ffffffff80211f93 <ret_from_intr>
Similarly the exception handler register saving function becomes
simpler, without the need of any parameter shuffling. The stub
for an exception without errorcode looks like this:
<overflow>:
(6) callq *0x1cad12(%rip) # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
(2) pushq $0xffffffffffffffff /* no syscall */
(4) sub $0x78,%rsp /* space for registers */
(5) callq ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry>
(3) mov %rsp,%rdi /* pt_regs pointer */
(2) xor %esi,%esi /* no error code */
(5) callq ffffffff80213446 <do_overflow>
(5) jmpq ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit>
And one for an exception with errorcode like this:
<segment_not_present>:
(6) callq *0x1cab92(%rip) # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
(4) sub $0x78,%rsp /* space for registers */
(5) callq ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry>
(3) mov %rsp,%rdi /* pt_regs pointer */
(5) mov 0x78(%rsp),%rsi /* load error code */
(9) movq $0xffffffffffffffff,0x78(%rsp) /* no syscall */
(5) callq ffffffff80213209 <do_segment_not_present>
(5) jmpq ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit>
Unfortunately, this last type is more than 32 bytes. But the total space
savings due to this patch is about 2500 bytes on an smp-configuration,
and I think the code is clearer than it was before. The tested kernels
were non-paravirt ones (i.e., without the indirect call at the top of
the exception handlers).
Anyhow, I tested this patch on top of a recent -tip. The machine
was an 2x4-core Xeon at 2333MHz. Measured where the delays between
(almost-)adjacent rdtsc instructions. The graphs show how much
time is spent outside of the program as a function of the measured
delay. The area under the graph represents the total time spent
outside the program. Eight instances of the rdtsctest were
started, each pinned to a single cpu. The histogams are added.
For each kernel two measurements were done: one in mostly idle
condition, the other while running "bonnie++ -f", bound to cpu 0.
Each measurement took 40 minutes runtime. See the attached graphs
for the results. The graphs overlap almost everywhere, but there
are small differences.

Introduce a new accept4() system call. The addition of this system call
matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(),
inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls
that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags
argument that can be used to access additional functionality.
The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that
it adds a flags bit-mask argument. Two flags are initially implemented.
(Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.)
SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled
for the new file descriptor returned by accept4(). This is a useful
security feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded
program where one thread is doing an accept() at the same time as
another thread is doing a fork() plus exec(). More details here:
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor Handling",
Ulrich Drepper).
The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag
to be enabled on the new open file description created by accept4().
(This flag is merely a convenience, saving the use of additional calls
fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to achieve the same result.
Here's a test program. Works on x86-32. Should work on x86-64, but
I (mtk) don't have a system to hand to test with.
It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies
that the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file
description returned by accept4().
I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2,
and it passes according to my test program.
