The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived
argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event
in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a
single callback services many perf_events.
Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter()
(and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event.
The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context.
All callers are updated.

Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure
local vs remote memory accesses. Like all other cache events, an
ACCESS is HIT+MISS, if there is no way to distinguish between reads
and writes do reads only etc..
The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with
unsupported events).
I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as
an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since
it does appear to have some NUMA bits.
Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they
clearly are NUMA capable.

This patch adds Intel Sandy Bridge offcore_response support by
providing the low-level constraint table for those events.
On Sandy Bridge, there are two offcore_response events. Each uses
its own dedictated extra register. But those registers are NOT shared
between sibling CPUs when HT is on unlike Nehalem/Westmere. They are
always private to each CPU. But they still need to be controlled within
an event group. All events within an event group must use the same
value for the extra MSR. That's not controlled by the second patch in
this series.
Furthermore on Sandy Bridge, the offcore_response events have NO
counter constraints contrary to what the official documentation
indicates, so drop the events from the contraint table.

The validate_group() function needs to validate events with
extra shared regs. Within an event group, only events with
the same value for the extra reg can co-exist. This was not
checked by validate_group() because it was missing the
shared_regs logic.
This patch changes the allocation of the fake cpuc used for
validation to also point to a fake shared_regs structure such
that group events be properly testing.
It modifies __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to use
spin_lock_irqsave() to avoid lockdep issues.

This patch improves the code managing the extra shared registers
used for offcore_response events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere. The
idea is to use static allocation instead of dynamic allocation.
This simplifies greatly the get and put constraint routines for
those events.
The patch also renames per_core to shared_regs because the same
data structure gets used whether or not HT is on. When HT is
off, those events still need to coordination because they use
a extra MSR that has to be shared within an event group.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

Due to restriction and specifics of Netburst PMU we need a separated
event for NMI watchdog. In particular every Netburst event
consumes not just a counter and a config register, but also an
additional ESCR register.
Since ESCR registers are grouped upon counters (i.e. if ESCR is occupied
for some event there is no room for another event to enter until its
released) we need to pick up the "least" used ESCR (or the most available
one) for nmi-watchdog purposes -- so MSR_P4_CRU_ESCR2/3 was chosen.
With this patch nmi-watchdog and perf top should be able to run simultaneously.

Unconditionally changing the address limit to USER_DS and not restoring
it to its old value in the error path is wrong because it prevents us
using kernel memory on repeated calls to this function. This, in fact,
breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being
ever successful if the first candidate fails to load.
With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point
of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch
rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded)
probed paths.
Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread()
will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.

After a newly plugged CPU sets the cpu_online bit it enables
interrupts and goes idle. The cpu which brought up the new cpu waits
for the cpu_online bit and when it observes it, it sets the cpu_active
bit for this cpu. The cpu_active bit is the relevant one for the
scheduler to consider the cpu as a viable target.
With forced threaded interrupt handlers which imply forced threaded
softirqs we observed the following race:
cpu 0 cpu 1
bringup(cpu1);
set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true);
local_irq_enable();
while (!cpu_online(cpu1));
timer_interrupt()
-> wake_up(softirq_thread_cpu1);
-> enqueue_on(softirq_thread_cpu1, cpu0);
^^^^
cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE, cpu1);
-> sched_cpu_active(cpu1)
-> set_cpu_active((cpu1, true);
When an interrupt happens before the cpu_active bit is set by the cpu
which brought up the newly onlined cpu, then the scheduler refuses to
enqueue the woken thread which is bound to that newly onlined cpu on
that newly onlined cpu due to the not yet set cpu_active bit and
selects a fallback runqueue. Not really an expected and desirable
behaviour.
So far this has only been observed with forced hard/softirq threading,
but in theory this could happen without forced threaded hard/softirqs
as well. It's probably unobservable as it would take a massive
interrupt storm on the newly onlined cpu which causes the softirq loop
to wake up the softirq thread and an even longer delay of the cpu
which waits for the cpu_online bit.

mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it.
But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle().
Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param
to simplify the x86 idle code.
After this change, kernels configured with
(!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that support MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired

setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was

x86-64: Move vread_tsc into a new file with sensible options
Removed the -pg from tsc.o which caused the function graph tracer

internally outside its recursion protection, thus tracing the tsc
breaks the function graph tracer.
This commit also added the file vread_tsc_64.c that gets used
by vdso but failed to prevent GCOV from monkeying with it,
causing userspace to try to access kernel data when GCOV was
enabled.
Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for pointing out GCOV as the likely

UEFI stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", where "Firmware"
is an ancient African word meaning "Why do something right when you can
do it so wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before
you", and "UEI" is Celtic for "We missed DOS so we burned it into your
ROMs". The UEFI specification provides for runtime services (ie, another
way for the operating system to be forced to depend on the firmware) and
we rely on these for certain trivial tasks such as setting up the
bootloader. But some hardware fails to work if we attempt to use these
runtime services from physical mode, and so we have to switch into virtual
mode. So far so dreadful.
The specification makes it clear that the operating system is free to do
whatever it wants with boot services code after ExitBootServices() has been
called. SetVirtualAddressMap() can't be called until ExitBootServices() has
been. So, obviously, a whole bunch of EFI implementations call into boot
services code when we do that. Since we've been charmingly naive and
trusted that the specification may be somehow relevant to the real world,
we've already stuffed a picture of a penguin or something in that address
space. And just to make things more entertaining, we've also marked it
non-executable.
This patch allocates the boot services regions during EFI init and makes
sure that they're executable. Then, after SetVirtualAddressMap(), it
discards them and everyone lives happily ever after. Except for the ones
who have to work on EFI, who live sad lives haunted by the knowledge that
someone's eventually going to write yet another firmware specification.
[ hpa: adding this to urgent with a stable tag since it fixes currently-broken
hardware. However, I do not know what the dependencies are and so I do
not know which -stable versions this may be a candidate for. ]

Due to commit dc326fca2b (x86, cpu: Clean up and unify the NOP selection infrastructure), we get the following warning:
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c: In function ‘ftrace_make_nop’:
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:308:6: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c: In function ‘ftrace_make_call’:
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:318:6: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
ftrace_nop_replace() now returns const unsigned char *, so change its associated function/variable to its compatible type to keep compiler clam.

This patch removes a check that causes incorrect scheduler
domain setup (SMP instead of SMT) and bootlog warning messages
when cpuid extensions for topology enumeration are not supported
and the number of processors reported to the OS is smaller than
smp_num_siblings.

On larger systems, because of the numerous ACPI, Bootmem and EFI messages,
the static log buffer overflows before the larger one specified by the
log_buf_len param is allocated. Minimize the overflow by allocating the
new log buffer as soon as possible.
On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from
kernel/init.c is the fallback.

cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position.
It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio.
This patch has two change.
1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask
is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability
2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory
footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future.
In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var.
It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users.
This patch has no functional change.

This patch adds support for a new version of the SGI UV hub
chip. The hub chip is the node controller that connects multiple
blades into a larger coherent SSI.
For the most part, UV2 is compatible with UV1. The majority of
the changes are in the addresses of MMRs and in a few cases, the
contents of MMRs. These changes are the result in changes in the
system topology such as node configuration, processor types,
maximum nodes, physical address sizes, etc.

* 'for-2.6.40' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
percpu: Unify input section names
percpu: Avoid extra NOP in percpu_cmpxchg16b_double
percpu: Cast away printk format warning
percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE
Fix up fairly trivial conflict in arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h as per Tejun
In mask/restore_ioapic_entries() we should be restoring ioapic
entries when ioapics[apic].saved_registers is not NULL.
Fix the typo and address the resume hang regression reported by
Linus.
This was not found sooner because the systems where these
changes were tested on kept the IO-APIC entries intact over
resume.
