There are reasons for kernel code to ask for, and use, performance
counters.
For example, in CPU freq governors this tends to be a good idea, but
there are other examples possible as well of course.
This patch adds the needed bits to do enable this functionality; they
have been tested in an experimental cpufreq driver that I'm working on,
and the changes are all that I needed to access counters properly.
[fweisbec@gmail.com: added pid to perf_event_create_kernel_counter so
that we can profile a particular task too
TODO: Have a better error reporting, don't just return NULL in fail
case.]
v2: Remove the wrong comment about the fact
perf_event_create_kernel_counter must be called from a kernel
thread.

The 5785 does not use the RXC reference clock. Turning it off is
desirable as it saves power.
By default, the 50610 enables the RXC reference clock and the 50610M
disables it. Presumably this is one of the reasons why the hardware
architect chose one over the other.
Adding a "rx reference clock disable" flag is not the ideal way to
describe the option, as it would force the MAC using a 50610M to set
the flag. Ideally we want the flags to represent opt-in behavior that
deviates from hardware defaults. Furthermore, the lack of a
"disable" flag implies that the requester wants the rx reference clock
enabled, which doesn't necessarily follow.
By presenting the option as a passive statement (rx reference clock
unused) rather than a command, I hope to convey an opt-in option to
disable the rx reference clock that falls back to hardware defaults if
not set. A secondary benefit of this is that it keeps the
intelligence about phy defaults in the broadcom module where it belongs
and allows the broadcom module more latitude should a bug arise.

Broadcom 50610M parts changed the default definitions of the RGMII mode
shadow register. The 5785 needs the RGMII mode selection bits [4:3]
cleared.
The default value of the remaining bits in this register are zero.
Rather than unnecessarily burn an extra bit in the dev_flags member in
an attempt to enumerate all possible combinations, this patch take a
more course grained approach and labels the option as "clear all bits".

Different CPUs will have different starting vectors, with varying
amounts of reserved or unusable vector space prior to the first slot.
This introduces a legacy vector reservation system that inserts itself in
between the CPU vector map registration and the platform specific IRQ
setup. This works fine in practice as the only new vectors that boards
need to establish on their own should be dynamically allocated rather
than arbitrarily assigned. As a plus, this also makes all of the
converted platforms sparseirq ready.

I was told that there are obscure architectures with non-coherent DMA
which may DMA-map to bus address 0. We shall not use 0 as a magic
number of uninitialized bus address variables.
The packet->payload_length > 0 test cannot be used either (except in
at_context_queue_packet) because local requests are not DMA-mapped
regardless of payload_length. Hence add a state flag to struct

RDS currently supports a GET_MR sockopt to establish a
memory region (MR) for a chunk of memory. However, the fastreg
method ties a MR to a particular destination. The GET_MR_FOR_DEST
sockopt allows the remote machine to be specified, and thus
support for fastreg (aka FRWRs).
Note that this patch does *not* do all of this - it simply
implements the new sockopt in terms of the old one, so applications
can begin to use the new sockopt in preparation for cutover to
FRWRs.

Hi James, would you mind taking the following into
security-testing?
The securebits are used by passing them to prctl with the
PR_{S,G}ET_SECUREBITS commands. But the defines must be
shifted to be used in prctl, which begs to be confused and
misused by userspace. So define some more convenient
values for userspace to specify. This way userspace does
prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, SECBIT_NOROOT);
instead of
prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 1 << SECURE_NOROOT);
(Thanks to Michael for the idea)
This patch also adds include/linux/securebits to the installed headers.
Then perhaps it can be included by glibc's sys/prctl.h.
Changelog:
Oct 29: Stephen Rothwell points out that issecure can
be under __KERNEL__.
Oct 14: (Suggestions by Michael Kerrisk):
1. spell out SETUID in SECBIT_NO_SETUID*
2. SECBIT_X_LOCKED does not imply SECBIT_X
3. add definitions for keepcaps

e180a6b775 "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case
where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers
accessing random memory.
Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's
rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all:
1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an
uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param.
2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then
it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory.
The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This
prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there
are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are
root-only writable.
