The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

In a kvm virt guests, the perf counters are not emulated. Instead they
return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing
a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have
specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all
NMIs thinking the counters overflowed.
This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its
magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests.
The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the
initialization and hopefully reading back the same number. On kvm
guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as
a result.

This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":
- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".
In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):
"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."
This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's. However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.

Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().
It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.
struct fstrim_range {
__u64 start;
__u64 len;
__u64 minlen;
}
start - first Byte to trim
len - number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
block size.
After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

This reverts commit 59365d136d.
It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
Quoth Sarah Sharp:
"On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b from linus' tree,
and my box would not boot. klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
system.
At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in. It dropped back to the
text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
of time. dmesg surprisingly still works. I've bisected the problem
down to this commit (commit 59365d136d)
The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty). Yes, I know
that's old. I read the bit in the commit about changing the
permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
help."
So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts. This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths
from the perf build. The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them
from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
purposes).
Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
files are needed from that directory.
Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
- Built natively on x86_64
- Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
and manually included in CFLAGS

This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does
not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when
using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode.
Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between
CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs.
The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when
the -C option is used.
The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a
stray patch in builtin-trace.c.
Examples on a 4-way system:
# perf stat -a -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1

At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path
out of that function returns ret. However, the generic_check_addressable
clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g.
a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail. This
causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an
oops.
A simple fix is to avoid using ret for the generic_check_addressable check,
which was last changed in commit 30ca22c70e.

Both IBX and CPT have an automatic hotplug detection mode which appears to work reliably enough
that we can dispense with the manual force hotplug trigger stuff. This means that
hotplug detection is as simple as reading the current hotplug register values.
The first time the hotplug detection is activated, the code synchronously waits for a hotplug
sequence in case the hardware hasn't bothered to do a detection cycle since being initialized.

Linus Torvalds found that it was rather trivial to trigger a system
freeze:
In fact, with lockdep, I don't even need to do the sysrq-d thing: it
shows the bug as it happens. It's the X server taking the same lock
recursively.
Here's the problem:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.37-rc2-00012-gbdbd01a #7
---------------------------------------------
Xorg/2816 is trying to acquire lock:
(&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c626c>] i915_gem_fault+0x50/0x17e
but task is already holding lock:
(&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c403b>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x28/0x4a
other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by Xorg/2816:
#0: (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c403b>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x28/0x4a
#1: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81022d4f>] page_fault+0x156/0x37b
This recursion was introduced by rearranging the locking to avoid the
double locking on the fast path (4f27b5d and fbd5a26d) and the
introduction of the prefault to encourage the fast paths (b5e4f2b). In
order to undo the problem, we rearrange the code to perform the access
validation upfront, attempt to prefault and then fight for control of the
mutex. the best case scenario where the mutex is uncontended the
prefaulting is not wasted.

Add a bit more information how to use poll(2) on GPIO value files
correctly. For me it was not clear that I need to poll(2) for
POLLPRI|POLLERR or select(2) for exceptfds.

If "p" is NULL then it will cause an oops when we pass it to
simple_strtoul(). In this case "p" can not be NULL so I removed the
check. I also changed the check a little to make it more explicit that
we are testing whether p points to the NUL char.

scripts/kernel-doc was leaving unescaped '<', '>', and '&' in
generated xml output for structs. This causes xml parser errors.
Convert these characters to "<", ">", and "&" as needed
to prevent errors.
Most of the conversion was already done; complete it just before
output.
