Eric Dumazet reported that hardware PMU events do not work on his
system, due to the BIOS corrupting PMU state:
Performance Events: PEBS fmt0+, Core2 events, Broken BIOS detected, using software events only.
[Firmware Bug]: the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resources (MSR 186 is 43003c)
Linus suggested that we continue in the face of such BIOS-induced CPU
state corruption:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/24/608
Such BIOSes will have to be fixed - Linux developers rely on a working and
fully capable PMU and the BIOS interfering with the CPU's PMU state is simply
not acceptable.
So this patch changes perf to continue when it detects such BIOS
interaction, some hardware events may be unreliable due to the BIOS
writing and re-writing them - there's not much the kernel can do
about that but to detect the corruption and report it.

It's a big no-no to use pgprot_noncached() when mmap'ing such buffers
into userspace since they are mapped cachable in kernel space.
This can cause all sort of interesting things ranging from to garbled
sound to lockups on various architectures. I've observed that usb-audio
is broken on powerpc 4xx for example because of that.
Also remove the now unused snd_pcm_lib_mmap_noncached(). It's
an arch business to know when to use uncached mappings, there's
already hacks for MIPS inside snd_pcm_default_mmap() and other
archs are supposed to use dma_mmap_coherent().
(See my separate patch that adds dma_mmap_coherent() to powerpc)

There is a lot of common code that could be shared between the m68k
and m68knommu arch branches. It makes sense to merge the two branches
into a single directory structure so that we can more easily share
that common code.
This is a brute force merge, based on a script from Stephen King
<sfking@fdwdc.com>, which was originally written by Arnd Bergmann
<arnd@arndb.de>.
> The script was inspired by the script Sam Ravnborg used to merge the

> wrapper file <file>.<ext> is used to select between the two version. Files
> that are common to both but don't differ are removed from the m68knommu
> tree and files and directories that are unique to the m68knommu tree are
> moved to the m68k tree. Finally, the arch/m68knommu tree is removed.
>
> To select between the the versions of the files, the wrapper uses

> #ifdef CONFIG_MMU
> #include <file>_mm.<ext>
> #else
> #include <file>_no.<ext>
> #endif
On top of this file merge I have done a simplistic merge of m68k and
m68knommu Kconfig, which primarily attempts to keep existing options and
menus in place. Other than a handful of options being moved it produces
identical .config outputs on m68k and m68knommu targets I tested it on.
With this in place there is now quite a bit of scope for merge cleanups
in future patches.

Now that inode state changes are protected by the inode->i_lock and
the inode LRU manipulations by the inode_lru_lock, we can remove the
inode_lock from prune_icache and the initial part of iput_final().
instead of using the inode_lock to protect the inode during
iput_final, use the inode->i_lock instead. This protects the inode
against new references being taken while we change the inode state
to I_FREEING, as well as preventing prune_icache from grabbing the
inode while we are manipulating it. Hence we no longer need the
inode_lock in iput_final prior to setting I_FREEING on the inode.
For prune_icache, we no longer need the inode_lock to protect the
LRU list, and the inodes themselves are protected against freeing
races by the inode->i_lock. Hence we can lift the inode_lock from
prune_icache as well.

Introduce the inode_lru_lock to protect the inode_lru list. This
lock is nested inside the inode->i_lock to allow the inode to be
added to the LRU list in iput_final without needing to deal with
lock inversions. This keeps iput_final() clean and neat.
Further, where marking the inode I_FREEING and removing it from the
LRU, move the LRU list manipulation within the inode->i_lock to keep
the list manipulation consistent with iput_final. This also means
that most of the open coded LRU list removal + unused inode
accounting can now use the inode_lru_list_del() wrappers which
cleans the code up further.
However, this locking change means what the LRU traversal in
prune_icache() inverts this lock ordering and needs to use trylock
semantics on the inode->i_lock to avoid deadlocking. In these cases,
if we fail to lock the inode we move it to the back of the LRU to
prevent spinning on it.

Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the
inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions
independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling
away the inode_lock from the code.
This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks
during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread
marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the
reference.
Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation
required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW.
Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the
state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky,
remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where
necessary.

Commit ddd588b5dd ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from

resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own

The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in
all implementations to prevent this breakage.
Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do
anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes
that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the

The read of a proper MSR register was missed and instead of
counter the configration register was tested (it has
ARCH_P4_UNFLAGGED_BIT always cleared) leading to unknown NMI
hitting the system. As result the user may obtain "Dazed and
confused, but trying to continue" message. Fix it by reading a
proper MSR register.
When an NMI happens on a P4, the perf nmi handler checks the
configuration register to see if the overflow bit is set or not
before taking appropriate action. Unfortunately, various P4
machines had a broken overflow bit, so a backup mechanism was
implemented. This mechanism checked to see if the counter
rolled over or not.
A previous commit that implemented this backup mechanism was
broken. Instead of reading the counter register, it used the
configuration register to determine if the counter rolled over
or not. Reading that bit would give incorrect results.
This would lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages for the end
user when using the perf tool (or if the nmi watchdog is
running).
The fix is to read the counter register before determining if
the counter rolled over or not.
