5f7dc5d750 alpha: fix RTC on marvel
Unlike other alphas, marvel doesn't have real PC-style CMOS clock hardware
- RTC accesses are emulated via PAL calls.  Unfortunately, for unknown
reason these calls work only on CPU #0.  So current implementation for
arbitrary CPU makes CMOS_READ/WRITE to be executed on CPU #0 via IPI.
However, for obvious reason this doesn't work with standard
get/set_rtc_time() functions, where a bunch of CMOS accesses is done with
disabled interrupts.

Solved by making the IPI calls for entire get/set_rtc_time() functions,
not for individual CMOS accesses.  Which is also a lot more effective
performance-wise.

The patch is largely based on the code from Jay Estabrook.
My changes:
- tweak asm-generic/rtc.h by adding a couple of #defines to
  avoid a massive code duplication in arch/alpha/include/asm/rtc.h;
- sys_marvel.c: fix get/set_rtc_time() return values (Jay's FIXMEs).

NOTE: this fixes *only* LIB_RTC drivers.  Legacy (CONFIG_RTC) driver
wont't work on marvel.  Actually I think that we should just disable
CONFIG_RTC on alpha (maybe in 2.6.30?), like most other arches - AFAIK,
all modern distributions use LIB_RTC anyway.

Impact: cleanup

Change the protection parameter for track_pfn_vma_new() into a pgprot_t pointer.
Subsequent patch changes the x86 PAT handling to return a compatible
memtype in pgprot_t, if what was requested cannot be allowed due to conflicts.
No fuctionality change in this patch.

c8399943bd x86, generic: mark complex bitops.h inlines as __always_inline
Impact: reduce kernel image size

Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel
is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops.

Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single
asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem.

Probably should be done for other architectures too.

Ingo then found a better fix that only requires
a single line change, but it unfortunately only
works on gcc 4.3.

On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig
difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.

With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build:

    6116998 1138540  883788 8139326  7c323e vmlinux-oi-with-patch
    6137043 1138540  883788 8159371  7c808b vmlinux-optimize-inlining

~20k / 0.3% difference.

ba84be2338 remove linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.h
While looking at reducing the amount of architecture namespace pollution
in the generic kernel, I found that asm/irq.h is included in the vast
majority of compilations on ARM (around 650 files.)

Since asm/irq.h includes a sub-architecture include file on ARM, this
causes a negative impact on the ccache's ability to re-use the build
results from other sub-architectures, so we have a desire to reduce the
dependencies on asm/irq.h.

It turns out that a major cause of this is the needless include of
linux/hardirq.h into asm-generic/local.h.  The patch below removes this
include, resulting in some 250 to 300 files (around half) of the kernel
then omitting asm/irq.h.

My test builds still succeed, provided two ARM files are fixed
(arch/arm/kernel/traps.c and arch/arm/mm/fault.c) - so there may be
negative impacts for this on other architectures.

Note that x86 does not include asm/irq.h nor linux/hardirq.h in its
asm/local.h, so this patch can be viewed as bringing the generic version
into line with the x86 version.

consumption, especially when declaring a lot of tracepoints, e.g. for
kmalloc tracing.

*API CHANGE WARNING*: now, DECLARE_TRACE() must be used in headers for
tracepoint declarations rather than DEFINE_TRACE(). This is the sane way
to do it. The name previously used was misleading.

Updates scheduler instrumentation to follow this API change.

2ed84eeb88 trace: rename unlikely profiler to branch profiler
Impact: name change of unlikely tracer and profiler

Ingo Molnar suggested changing the config from UNLIKELY_PROFILE
to BRANCH_PROFILING. I never did like the "unlikely" name so I
went one step farther, and renamed all the unlikely configurations
to a "BRANCH" variant.

1f0d69a9fc tracing: profile likely and unlikely annotations
Impact: new unlikely/likely profiler

Andrew Morton recently suggested having an in-kernel way to profile
likely and unlikely macros. This patch achieves that goal.

When configured, every(*) likely and unlikely macro gets a counter attached
to it. When the condition is hit, the hit and misses of that condition
are recorded. These numbers can later be retrieved by:

  /debugfs/tracing/profile_likely    - All likely markers
  /debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely  - All unlikely markers.

As you can see by the above, there's a bit of work to do in rethinking
the use of some unlikelys and likelys. Note: the unlikely case had 71 hits
that were more than 25%.

Note:  After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton
  showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up
  the following ideas from:

  1)  Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values.
  2)  Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers.
  3)  Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely
       annotations from vsyscall_64.c.

Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar
for their feed back on this patch.

(*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls
 (a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

c5d712433f Fix __pfn_to_page(pfn) for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
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).

a8ddac7e53 mutex: speed up generic mutex implementations
- atomic operations which both modify the variable and return something imply
  full smp memory barriers before and after the memory operations involved
  (failing atomic_cmpxchg, atomic_add_unless, etc don't imply a barrier because
  they don't modify the target). See Documentation/atomic_ops.txt.
  So remove extra barriers and branches.

- All architectures support atomic_cmpxchg. This has no relation to
  __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG. We can just take the atomic_cmpxchg path unconditionally

This reduces a simple single threaded fastpath lock+unlock test from 590 cycles
to 203 cycles on a ppc970 system.

346e15beb5 driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages
Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.

I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes
control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,
currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,
is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by
defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no
affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.

The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That
is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls
can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.

Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define 
their own debug levels and flags.

Usage:

Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, 
<debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:

	<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
		.
		.
		.

	<module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
	<enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not

For example:

	snd_hda_intel enabled=0
	fixup enabled=1
	driver enabled=0

Enable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Enable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
disable command.

8da3821ba5 ftrace: create __mcount_loc section
This patch creates a section in the kernel called "__mcount_loc".
This will hold a list of pointers to the mcount relocation for
each call site of mcount.

For example:

objdump -dr init/main.o
[...]
Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <do_one_initcall>:
   0:   55                      push   %rbp
[...]
000000000000017b <init_post>:
 17b:   55                      push   %rbp
 17c:   48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
 17f:   53                      push   %rbx
 180:   48 83 ec 08             sub    $0x8,%rsp
 184:   e8 00 00 00 00          callq  189 <init_post+0xe>
                        185: R_X86_64_PC32      mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc
[...]

We will add a section to point to each function call.

   .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
[...]
   .quad .text + 0x185
[...]

The offset to of the mcount call site in init_post is an offset from
the start of the section, and not the start of the function init_post.
The mcount relocation is at the call site 0x185 from the start of the
.text section.

  .text + 0x185  == init_post + 0xa

We need a way to add this __mcount_loc section in a way that we do not
lose the relocations after final link.  The .text section here will
be attached to all other .text sections after final link and the
offsets will be meaningless.  We need to keep track of where these
.text sections are.

To do this, we use the start of the first function in the section.
do_one_initcall.  We can make a tmp.s file with this function as a reference
to the start of the .text section.

   .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
[...]
   .quad do_one_initcall + 0x185
[...]

Then we can compile the tmp.s into a tmp.o

  gcc -c tmp.s -o tmp.o

And link it into back into main.o.

  ld -r main.o tmp.o -o tmp_main.o
  mv tmp_main.o main.o

But we have a problem.  What happens if the first function in a section
is not exported, and is a static function. The linker will not let
the tmp.o use it.  This case exists in main.o as well.

Disassembly of section .init.text:

0000000000000000 <set_reset_devices>:
   0:   55                      push   %rbp
   1:   48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
   4:   e8 00 00 00 00          callq  9 <set_reset_devices+0x9>
                        5: R_X86_64_PC32        mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc

The first function in .init.text is a static function.

00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices

The lowercase 't' means that set_reset_devices is local and is not exported.
If we simply try to link the tmp.o with the set_reset_devices we end
up with two symbols: one local and one global.

 .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
 .quad set_reset_devices + 0x10

00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices
                 U set_reset_devices

We still have an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, and if we try
to compile the kernel, we will end up with an undefined reference to
set_reset_devices, or even worst, it could be exported someplace else,
and then we will have a reference to the wrong location.

To handle this case, we make an intermediate step using objcopy.
We convert set_reset_devices into a global exported symbol before linking
it with tmp.o and set it back afterwards.

00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices

00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices

00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices

Now we have a section in main.o called __mcount_loc that we can place
somewhere in the kernel using vmlinux.ld.S and access it to convert
all these locations that call mcount into nops before starting SMP
and thus, eliminating the need to do this with kstop_machine.

Note, A well documented perl script (scripts/recordmcount.pl) is used
to do all this in one location.

97e1c18e8d tracing: Kernel Tracepoints
Implementation of kernel tracepoints. Inspired from the Linux Kernel
Markers. Allows complete typing verification by declaring both tracing
statement inline functions and probe registration/unregistration static
inline functions within the same macro "DEFINE_TRACE". No format string
is required. See the tracepoint Documentation and Samples patches for
usage examples.

Taken from the documentation patch :

"A tracepoint placed in code provides a hook to call a function (probe)
that you can provide at runtime. A tracepoint can be "on" (a probe is
connected to it) or "off" (no probe is attached). When a tracepoint is
"off" it has no effect, except for adding a tiny time penalty (checking
a condition for a branch) and space penalty (adding a few bytes for the
function call at the end of the instrumented function and adds a data
structure in a separate section).  When a tracepoint is "on", the
function you provide is called each time the tracepoint is executed, in
the execution context of the caller. When the function provided ends its
execution, it returns to the caller (continuing from the tracepoint
site).

You can put tracepoints at important locations in the code. They are
lightweight hooks that can pass an arbitrary number of parameters, which
prototypes are described in a tracepoint declaration placed in a header
file."

Addition and removal of tracepoints is synchronized by RCU using the
scheduler (and preempt_disable) as guarantees to find a quiescent state
(this is really RCU "classic"). The update side uses rcu_barrier_sched()
with call_rcu_sched() and the read/execute side uses
"preempt_disable()/preempt_enable()".

We make sure the previous array containing probes, which has been
scheduled for deletion by the rcu callback, is indeed freed before we
proceed to the next update. It therefore limits the rate of modification
of a single tracepoint to one update per RCU period. The objective here
is to permit fast batch add/removal of probes on _different_
tracepoints.

Changelog :
- Use #name ":" #proto as string to identify the tracepoint in the
  tracepoint table. This will make sure not type mismatch happens due to
  connexion of a probe with the wrong type to a tracepoint declared with
  the same name in a different header.
- Add tracepoint_entry_free_old.
- Change __TO_TRACE to get rid of the 'i' iterator.

Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> :
Tested on x86-64.

Performance impact of a tracepoint : same as markers, except that it
adds about 70 bytes of instructions in an unlikely branch of each
instrumented function (the for loop, the stack setup and the function
call). It currently adds a memory read, a test and a conditional branch
at the instrumentation site (in the hot path). Immediate values will
eventually change this into a load immediate, test and branch, which
removes the memory read which will make the i-cache impact smaller
(changing the memory read for a load immediate removes 3-4 bytes per
site on x86_32 (depending on mov prefixes), or 7-8 bytes on x86_64, it
also saves the d-cache hit).

About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to
markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by
Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench
on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code
scheduler code) was added.

Quoting Hideo Aoki about Markers :

I evaluated overhead of kernel marker using linux-2.6-sched-fixes git
tree, which includes several markers for LTTng, using an ia64 server.

While the immediate trace mark feature isn't implemented on ia64, there
is no major performance regression. So, I think that we don't have any
issues to propose merging marker point patches into Linus's tree from
the viewpoint of performance impact.

I prepared two kernels to evaluate. The first one was compiled without
CONFIG_MARKERS. The second one was enabled CONFIG_MARKERS.

I downloaded the original hackbench from the following URL:
http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c

I ran hackbench 5 times in each condition and calculated the average and
difference between the kernels.

    The parameter of hackbench: every 50 from 50 to 800
    The number of CPUs of the server: 2, 4, and 8

Below is the results. As you can see, major performance regression
wasn't found in any case. Even if number of processes increases,
differences between marker-enabled kernel and marker- disabled kernel
doesn't increase. Moreover, if number of CPUs increases, the differences
doesn't increase either.

Curiously, marker-enabled kernel is better than marker-disabled kernel
in more than half cases, although I guess it comes from the difference
of memory access pattern.

da654b74bd signals: demultiplexing SIGTRAP signal
Currently a SIGTRAP can denote any one of below reasons.
	- Breakpoint hit
	- H/W debug register hit
	- Single step
	- Signal sent through kill() or rasie()

Architectures like powerpc/parisc provides infrastructure to demultiplex
SIGTRAP signal by passing down the information for receiving SIGTRAP through
si_code of siginfot_t structure. Here is an attempt is generalise this
infrastructure by extending it to x86 and x86_64 archs.
