13e82d023c SFI: add capability to parse ACPI tables
Extend SFI to access standard ACPI tables.
(eg. the PCI MCFG) using sfi_acpi_table_parse().

Note that this is _not_ a hybrid ACPI + SFI mode.
The platform boots in either ACPI mode or SFI mode.

SFI runs only with acpi_disabled=1, which can be set
at build-time via CONFIG_ACPI=n, or at boot time by
the failure to find ACPI platform support.

So this extension simply allows SFI-platforms to
re-use existing standard table formats that happen to
be defined to live in ACPI envelopes.

117a9ac777 SFI: create linux/sfi.h
include/linux/include/sfi.h defines everything that customers
of SFI need to know in order to use the SFI suport in the kernel.

The primary API is sfi_table_parse(), where a driver or another part
of the kernel can supply a handler to parse the named table.

sfi.h also includes the currently defined table signatures and table
formats.

e55a5999ff ACPI: Handle CONFIG_ACPI=n better from linux/acpi.h
linux/acpi.h is the top level header for interfacing
with the ACPI sub-system, so acpi_disabled should be
up there instead of down in asm/acpi.h -- particularly
since asm/acpi.h doesn't exist for all architectures.

Same story for acpi_table_parse(), which is a top-level
API to Linux/ACPI.

This is necessary for building some code that
used to always depend on CONFIG_ACPI=y, but will soon
also need to build with CONFIG_ACPI=n.

7285dd7fd3 clocksource: Resolve cpu hotplug dead lock with TSC unstable
Martin Schwidefsky analyzed it:
To register a clocksource the clocksource_mutex is acquired and if
necessary timekeeping_notify is called to install the clocksource as
the timekeeper clock. timekeeping_notify uses stop_machine which needs
to take cpu_add_remove_lock mutex.
Starting a new cpu is done with the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex held.
native_cpu_up checks the tsc of the new cpu and if the tsc is no good
clocksource_change_rating is called. Which needs the clocksource_mutex
and the deadlock is complete.

The solution is to replace the TSC via the clocksource watchdog
mechanism. Mark the TSC as unstable and schedule the watchdog work so
it gets removed in the watchdog thread context.

468de9e54a nfsd41: expand solo sequence check
Compounds consisting of only a sequence operation don't need any
additional caching beyond the sequence information we store in the slot
entry.  Fix nfsd4_is_solo_sequence to identify this case correctly.

The additional check for a failed sequence in nfsd4_store_cache_entry()
is redundant, since the nfsd4_is_solo_sequence call lower down catches
this case.

The final ce_cachethis set in nfsd4_sequence is also redundant.

c95b4502ad ntp: Provide compability defines (You say MOD_NANO, I say ADJ_NANO)
MOD_NANO, ADJ_NANO, MOD_NANO, ADJ_NANO!
Lets call the whole thing off!
But oh! If we call the whole thing off,
Then we must part.
And oh! If we ever part,
Then that might break my heart^H^H^H^Hclock!
So, if you like MOD_NANO and I like ADJ_NANO,
I'll include MOD_NANO and give up ADJ_NANO (not really!).
For we know we need each other,
So we better call the calling off off.
Let's call the whole thing off!

The tumultuous NTP and Linux relationship has hit another snag: Ends
up NTPd still uses the "xntp 3.4 compatability names" and when the
STA_NANO value was added (along with ADJ_NANO), NTPd expected MOD_NANO
to be added and has apparently hit some build errors.

Report to ntp hackers:
https://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/hackers/2009-August/004455.html

Related Bugs:
https://support.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1219
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505566

So in an effort to make peace, here's a patch to help get things
building again. I also have updated the comment to make sure folks
don't think the MOD_* values are just legacy constants.

Of course, NTPd really uses the glibc-headers, so those will need to
be similarly updated before things are working again (the RH bug above
should probably cover that).

Thanks to Michael Tatarinov and Hal Murray for finding and reporting
the issue!

b62e408c05 flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsigned
It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as
part of the flex array API.

flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative
quantity, which is obviously erroneous.

flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in
dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before
struct flex_array.

The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as
unsigned.  Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max
array size based on element_size need not be changed.

24851d2447 tracing/kprobes: Dump the culprit kprobe in case of kprobe recursion
Kprobes can enter into a probing recursion, ie: a kprobe that does an
endless loop because one of its core mechanism function used during
probing is also probed itself.

This patch helps pinpointing the kprobe that raised such recursion
by dumping it and raising a BUG instead of a warning (we also disarm
the kprobe to try avoiding recursion in BUG itself). Having a BUG
instead of a warning stops the stacktrace in the right place and
doesn't pollute the logs with hundreds of traces that eventually end
up in a stack overflow.

bd1a5c849b tracing: Ftrace dynamic ftrace_event_call support
Add dynamic ftrace_event_call support to ftrace. Trace engines can add
new ftrace_event_call to ftrace on the fly. Each operator function of
the call takes an ftrace_event_call data structure as an argument,
because these functions may be shared among several ftrace_event_calls.

Changes from v13:
 - Define remove_subsystem_dir() always (revirt a2ca5e03), because
   trace_remove_event_call() uses it.
 - Modify syscall tracer because of ftrace_event_call change.

87a342f5db tracing/filters: Support filtering for char * strings
Usually, char * entries are dangerous in traces because the string
can be released whereas a pointer to it can still wait to be read from
the ring buffer.

But sometimes we can assume it's safe, like in case of RO data
(eg: __file__ or __line__, used in bkl trace event). If these RO data
are in a module and so is the call to the trace event, then it's safe,
because the ring buffer will be flushed once this module get unloaded.

To allow char * to be treated as a string:

	TRACE_EVENT(...,

		TP_STRUCT__entry(
			__field_ext(const char *, name, FILTER_PTR_STRING)
			...
		)

		...
	);

The filtering will not dereference "char *" unless the developer
explicitly sets FILTER_PTR_STR in __field_ext.

9741987586 tracing: Move tracepoint callbacks from declaration to definition
It's not strictly correct for the tracepoint reg/unreg callbacks to
occur when a client is hooking up, because the actual tracepoint may not
be present yet.  This happens to be fine for syscall, since that's in
the core kernel, but it would cause problems for tracepoints defined in
a module that hasn't been loaded yet.  It also means the reg/unreg has
to be EXPORTed for any modules to use the tracepoint (as in SystemTap).

This patch removes DECLARE_TRACE_WITH_CALLBACK, and instead introduces
DEFINE_TRACE_FN which stores the callbacks in struct tracepoint.  The
callbacks are used now when the active state of the tracepoint changes
in set_tracepoint & disable_tracepoint.

This also introduces TRACE_EVENT_FN, so ftrace events can also provide
registration callbacks if needed.

353d5c30c6 mm: fix hugetlb bug due to user_shm_unlock call
2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194 removed
user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the
user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy().

In detail:
Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock()
is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is
called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following
atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if
up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled.

Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set.
However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and
the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live
references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of
shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set.

Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the
time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time
of hugetlb_file_setup().  And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path,
which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

7c614d6461 rcu: Add "notrace" to RCU function headers used by ftrace
Both rcu_read_lock_sched_notrace() and
rcu_read_unlock_sched_notrace() are used by ftrace, and thus
need to be marked "notrace".

Unfortunately, my naive assumption that gcc would see the inner
"notrace" does not hold.

Kudos to Lai Jiangshan for noting this.

05ecd5a1f7 sh: Simplify "multi-evt" interrupt handling.
This patch changes the way in which "multi-evt" interrups are handled.
The intc_evt2irq_table and related intc_evt2irq() have been removed and
the "redirecting" handler is installed for the coupled interrupts.

Thanks to that the do_IRQ() function don't have to use another level
of indirection for all the interrupts...

70041088e3 RDS: Add TCP transport to RDS
This code allows RDS to be tunneled over a TCP connection.

RDMA operations are disabled when using TCP transport,
but this frees RDS from the IB/RDMA stack dependency, and allows
it to be used with standard Ethernet adapters, or in a VM.

f41d911f8c rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.

This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU.  Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.

The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

a157229cab rcu: Simplify rcu_pending()/rcu_check_callbacks() API
All calls from outside RCU are of the form:

	if (rcu_pending(cpu))
		rcu_check_callbacks(cpu, user);

This is silly, instead we put a call to rcu_pending() in
rcu_check_callbacks(), and then make the outside calls be to
rcu_check_callbacks().  This cuts down on the code a bit and
also gives the compiler a better chance of optimizing.
