When looking at a performance problem on PowerPC, I noticed some awful code

We create two constants, write them out to the stack, read them straight back
in and sign extend them. What a mess.
It turns out this bad code is a result of us defining atomic_t as a
volatile int.
We removed the volatile attribute from the powerpc atomic_t definition years
ago, but commit ea435467500612636f8f4fb639ff6e76b2496e4b (atomic_t: unify all
arch definitions) added it back in.
To dig up an old quote from Linus:

And screw up it does :)
With the volatile removed, we see much more reasonable code generation:
c00000000051f5b8: 3b 60 00 01 li r27,1
...
c00000000051f5c0: 3b 80 00 00 li r28,0

Now we have a set of nested attributes:
IFLA_VFINFO_LIST (NESTED)
IFLA_VF_INFO (NESTED)
IFLA_VF_MAC
IFLA_VF_VLAN
IFLA_VF_TX_RATE
This allows a single set to operate on multiple attributes if desired.
Among other things, it means a dump can be replayed to set state.
The current interface has yet to be released, so this seems like
something to consider for 2.6.34.

1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention;
we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously
shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on. To fix it
right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting
upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and
i_mutex on the inode in question. Set it (with dont_mount(dentry))
in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places
in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD. Setting S_DEAD
is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories
getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race
prevention.
2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash
the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint. Fixed.
3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the
right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong)
one. Noticed and fixed.

Merge reason: Update from -rc5 to -rc7.

Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for
threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the
threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the
stack.
Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was
applied to fix the NO_MMU case.
Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on
64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded.
Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc/<pid>/stat stack pointer for kernel
threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a
userland stack address.
Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack
information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages
being used to solve a significant performance regression.
This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches.
The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in
field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start
value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack
start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes
it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack
space a thread has.
Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64
gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the
stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific.
I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage
on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change
mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is
configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort,
I decided to not change mm/Makefile.
I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack
information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in
place as that seemed worthwhile.

epoll should not touch flags in wait_queue_t. This patch introduces a new
function __add_wait_queue_exclusive(), for the users, who use wait queue as a
LIFO queue.
__add_wait_queue_tail_exclusive() is introduced too instead of
add_wait_queue_exclusive_locked(). remove_wait_queue_locked() is removed, as
it is a duplicate of __remove_wait_queue(), disliked by users, and with less
users.

init_rcu_head_on_stack(), and init_rcu_head() with
their !CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD definitions.

Implement a basic state machine checker in the debugobjects.
This state machine checker detects races and inconsistencies within the "active"
life of a debugobject. The checker only keeps track of the current state; all
the state machine logic is kept at the object instance level.
The checker works by adding a supplementary "unsigned int astate" field to the
debug_obj structure. It keeps track of the current "active state" of the object.
The only constraints that are imposed on the states by the debugobjects system
is that:
- activation of an object sets the current active state to 0,
- deactivation of an object expects the current active state to be 0.
For the rest of the states, the state mapping is determined by the specific
object instance. Therefore, the logic keeping track of the state machine is
within the specialized instance, without any need to know about it at the
debugobject level.
The current object active state is changed by calling:
debug_object_active_state(addr, descr, expect, next)
where "expect" is the expected state and "next" is the next state to move to if
the expected state is found. A warning is generated if the expected is not
found.

TINY_RCU does not need rcu_scheduler_active unless CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC.
So conditionally compile rcu_scheduler_active in order to slim down
rcutiny a bit more. Also gets rid of an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, which is
responsible for most of the slimming.

The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of
confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches
for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch
is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been.
For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but
special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side
critical section.
However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd
still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer
accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched
quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside
from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to
be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only
increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly
increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation.
This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's
context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states.
The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in
general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU.
This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent
states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though
probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks
within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the
overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

Because synchronize_rcu_bh() is identical to synchronize_sched(),
make the former a static inline invoking the latter, saving the
overhead of an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and the duplicate code.

There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat,
so remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference().
To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the inlined
rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() macros so that
a given instance splats only once, but so that multiple instances can
be detected per boot.
This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY,
which is disabled by default. This provides the normal lockdep behavior
by default, but permits people who want to find multiple RCU-lockdep
splats per boot to easily do so.

Now that the only user of ts->idle_lastupdate is
update_ts_time_stats(), the entire field can be eliminated.
In update_ts_time_stats(), idle_lastupdate is first set to
"now", and a few lines later, the only user is an if() statement
that assigns a variable either to "now" or to
ts->idle_lastupdate, which has the value of "now" at that point.

When !CONFIG_SMP, cpu_stop functions weren't defined at all which
could lead to build failures if UP code uses cpu_stop facility. Add
dummy cpu_stop implementation for UP. The waiting variants execute
the work function directly with preempt disabled and
stop_one_cpu_nowait() schedules a workqueue work.
Makefile and ifdefs around stop_machine implementation are updated to
accomodate CONFIG_SMP && !CONFIG_STOP_MACHINE case.

Add group scheduling transactional APIs to struct pmu.
These APIs will be implemented in arch code, based on Peter's idea as
below.
> the idea behind hw_perf_group_sched_in() is to not perform
> schedulability tests on each event in the group, but to add the group
> as a whole and then perform one test.
>
> Of course, when that test fails, you'll have to roll-back the whole
> group again.
>
> So start_txn (or a better name) would simply toggle a flag in the pmu
> implementation that will make pmu::enable() not perform the
> schedulablilty test.
>
> Then commit_txn() will perform the schedulability test (so note the
> method has to have a !void return value.
>
> This will allow us to use the regular
> kernel/perf_event.c::group_sched_in() and all the rollback code.
> Currently each hw_perf_group_sched_in() implementation duplicates all
> the rolllback code (with various bugs).
->start_txn:
Start group events scheduling transaction, set a flag to make
pmu::enable() not perform the schedulability test, it will be performed
at commit time.
->commit_txn:
Commit group events scheduling transaction, perform the group
schedulability as a whole
->cancel_txn:
Stop group events scheduling transaction, clear the flag so
pmu::enable() will perform the schedulability test.

Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:
0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid
And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.
Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.
This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.

Both Stephane and Corey reported that PERF_FORMAT_GROUP didn't work
as expected if the task the counters were attached to quit before
the read() call.
The cause is that we unconditionally destroy the grouping when we
remove counters from their context. Fix this by only doing this when
we free the counter itself.

Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration
pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context
switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are
hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is
scheduled is slightly messy.
This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with
cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are
splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks -
migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and
synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply
asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary.
synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private
preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting
logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop.
synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared
resources along with the mutex are dropped.
synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases
where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and
fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked,
cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen;
otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves
the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper
ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually
goes wrong theree.
Because the internal execution state is no longer visible,
rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed.
This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to
"migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter
and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes.
With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same
resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and
sched migration users are much cleaner.

Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop. As cpu stoppers are
guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.
With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
new implementation is much simpler. Asking the cpu_stop to execute
the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
disabled is enough.
stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
removed.
The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
large machines. According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
large machines. cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
cpus and should have the same effect.

Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization
mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or
multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus. This is
primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and
scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple
purposes.
Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(),
stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus().
This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the
migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which
is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the
migration thread and take on its name.
* This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate
files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to
cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c.
* Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.

Some RCU-lockdep splat repairs need to know whether they are running
in a single-threaded process. Unfortunately, the thread_group_empty()
primitive is defined in sched.h, and can induce #include hell. This
commit therefore introduces a rcu_my_thread_group_empty() wrapper that
is defined in rcupdate.c, thus avoiding the need to include sched.h
everywhere.

When more than one header is included under CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
the DECLARE_TRACE() macro is not defined back to its original meaning
and the second include will fail to initialize the TRACE_EVENT()
and DECLARE_TRACE() correctly.
To fix this the tracepoint.h file moves the define of DECLARE_TRACE()
out of the #ifdef _LINUX_TRACEPOINT_H protection (just like the
define of the TRACE_EVENT()). This way the define_trace.h will undef
the DECLARE_TRACE() at the end and allow new headers to start
from scratch.
This patch also requires fixing the include/events/napi.h
It currently uses DECLARE_TRACE() and should be converted to a TRACE_EVENT()
format. But I'll leave that change to the authors of that file.
But since the napi.h file depends on using the CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
and does not define its own DEFINE_TRACE() it must use the define_trace.h
method instead.
