168ef543a4 x86: prepare for cpumask iterators to only go to nr_cpu_ids
Impact: cleanup, futureproof

In fact, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers < nr_cpu_ids.  So use that instead of NR_CPUS in various
places.

This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

d7b381bb7b x86: fixup_irqs() doesnt need an argument.
Impact: cleanup, remove on-stack cpumask.

The "map" arg is always cpu_online_mask.  Importantly, set_affinity
always ands the argument with cpu_online_mask anyway, so we don't need
to do it in fixup_irqs(), avoiding a temporary.

e7986739a7 x86 smp: modify send_IPI_mask interface to accept cpumask_t pointers
Impact: cleanup, change parameter passing

  * Change genapic interfaces to accept cpumask_t pointers where possible.

  * Modify external callers to use cpumask_t pointers in function calls.

  * Create new send_IPI_mask_allbutself which is the same as the
    send_IPI_mask functions but removes smp_processor_id() from list.
    This removes another common need for a temporary cpumask_t variable.

  * Functions that used a temp cpumask_t variable for:

	cpumask_t allbutme = cpu_online_map;

	cpu_clear(smp_processor_id(), allbutme);
	if (!cpus_empty(allbutme))
		...

    become:

	if (!cpus_equal(cpu_online_map, cpumask_of_cpu(cpu)))
		...

  * Other minor code optimizations (like using cpus_clear instead of
    CPU_MASK_NONE, etc.)

Applies to linux-2.6.tip/master.

0de26520c7 cpumask: make irq_set_affinity() take a const struct cpumask
Impact: change existing irq_chip API

Not much point with gentle transition here: the struct irq_chip's
setaffinity method signature needs to change.

Fortunately, not widely used code, but hits a few architectures.

Note: In irq_select_affinity() I save a temporary in by mangling
irq_desc[irq].affinity directly.  Ingo, does this break anything?

Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by

These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately
they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

98a79d6a50 cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map
Impact: cleanup

Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
location.

Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
   CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
   Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
   so I just manipulate them both in sync.

4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
   declarations.

380c4b1411 tracing/function-graph-tracer: append the tracing_graph_flag
Impact: Provide a way to pause the function graph tracer

As suggested by Steven Rostedt, the previous patch that prevented from
spinlock function tracing shouldn't use the raw_spinlock to fix it.
It's much better to follow lockdep with normal spinlock, so this patch
adds a new flag for each task to make the function graph tracer able
to be paused. We also can send an ftrace_printk whithout worrying of
the irrelevant traced spinlock during insertion.

8b96f01198 tracing/function-graph-tracer: introduce __notrace_funcgraph to filter special functions
Impact: trace more functions

When the function graph tracer is configured, three more files are not
traced to prevent only four functions to be traced. And this impacts the
normal function tracer too.

arch/x86/kernel/process_64/32.c:

I had crashes when I let this file traced. After some debugging, I saw
that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie:
"write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store
the original return address of the function inside current, we had
crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing.

kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c:

Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer:
__kernel_text_address()

To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch
introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if
function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

0b8f1efad3 sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes
Impact: new feature

Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.

To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.

When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).

This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

7ee991fbc6 ftrace: print real return in dumpstack for function graph
Impact: better dumpstack output

I noticed in my crash dumps and even in the stack tracer that a
lot of functions listed in the stack trace are simply
return_to_handler which is ftrace graphs way to insert its own
call into the return of a function.

But we lose out where the actually function was called from.

This patch adds in hooks to the dumpstack mechanism that detects
this and finds the real function to print. Both are printed to
let the user know that a hook is still in place.

This does give a funny side effect in the stack tracer output:

        Depth   Size      Location    (80 entries)
        -----   ----      --------
  0)     4144      48   save_stack_trace+0x2f/0x4d
  1)     4096     128   ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b
  2)     3968      16   mempool_alloc_slab+0x16/0x18
  3)     3952     384   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
  4)     3568    -240   stack_trace_call+0x11d/0x209
  5)     3808     144   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73

  8)     3664     -32   scsi_sg_alloc+0x48/0x4a [scsi_mod]

As you can see, the real functions are now negative. This is due
to them not being found inside the stack.

14a866c567 ftrace: add ftrace_graph_stop()
Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function

While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that
caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function.
Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the
bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot.
The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function.

Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph,
which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely
lock the box up if it were to trigger.

This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will
stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.

8daa19051e x86, apm: remove CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF in favor of a kernel parameter
Remove CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF like CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF which
has been done for linux-2.2.14pre8 (http://lkml.org/lkml/1999/11/23/3).

Re-introducing CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF got nack-ed. Stephen didn't bother
to remove CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF, let's get rid of it now.

48d68b20d0 tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64
Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86

This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64.
Both static and dynamic tracing are supported.

This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I
wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address
saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion.

That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these
function for other archs ports.

Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first
thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I
believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the
case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer).

So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to
enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at
this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags).

A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the
tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not
initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and,
after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to
trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I
hadn't problems with it.
