647bcd03d5 ftrace: Add enabled_functions file
Add the enabled_functions file that is used to show all the
functions that have been enabled for tracing as well as their
ref counts. This helps seeing if any function has been registered
and what functions are being traced.

ed926f9b35 ftrace: Use counters to enable functions to trace
Every function has its own record that stores the instruction
pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only
two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing
for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free
flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can
be used by new functions (loaded modules).

These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just
the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as
a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace,
those functions will have its counter incremented.

When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced,
the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace.

When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes
are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then
all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions
in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function
is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter
is not incremented for this ftrace_ops.

33dc9b1267 ftrace: Separate hash allocation and assignment
When filtering, allocate a hash to insert the function records.
After the filtering is complete, assign it to the ftrace_ops structure.

This allows the ftrace_ops structure to have a much smaller array of
hash buckets instead of wasting a lot of memory.

A read only empty_hash is created to be the minimum size that any ftrace_ops
can point to.

When a new hash is created, it has the following steps:

o Allocate a default hash.
o Walk the function records assigning the filtered records to the hash
o Allocate a new hash with the appropriate size buckets
o Move the entries from the default hash to the new hash.

f45948e898 ftrace: Create a global_ops to hold the filter and notrace hashes
Combine the filter and notrace hashes to be accessed by a single entity,
the global_ops. The global_ops is a ftrace_ops structure that is passed
to different functions that can read or modify the filtering of the
function tracer.

The ftrace_ops structure was modified to hold a filter and notrace
hashes so that later patches may allow each ftrace_ops to have its own
set of rules to what functions may be filtered.

1cf41dd799 ftrace: Use hash instead for FTRACE_FL_FILTER
When multiple users are allowed to have their own set of functions
to trace, having the FTRACE_FL_FILTER flag will not be enough to
handle the accounting of those users. Each user will need their own
set of functions.

Replace the FTRACE_FL_FILTER with a filter_hash instead. This is
temporary until the rest of the function filtering accounting
gets in.

b448c4e3ae ftrace: Replace FTRACE_FL_NOTRACE flag with a hash of ignored functions
To prepare for the accounting system that will allow multiple users of
the function tracer, having the FTRACE_FL_NOTRACE as a flag in the
dyn_trace record does not make sense.

All ftrace_ops will soon have a hash of functions they should trace
and not trace. By making a global hash of functions not to trace makes
this easier for the transition.

a3a4a5acd3 Regression: partial revert "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry"
This partially reverts commit e6e1e25935.

That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which
in turn broke PowerTOP (1.9x generation) quite badly.

I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and
PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a
padding field - that way if in the future a new field is needed it can
just use this padding field.

5035b20fa5 workqueue: fix deadlock in worker_maybe_bind_and_lock()
If a rescuer and stop_machine() bringing down a CPU race with each
other, they may deadlock on non-preemptive kernel.  The CPU won't
accept a new task, so the rescuer can't migrate to the target CPU,
while stop_machine() can't proceed because the rescuer is holding one
of the CPU retrying migration.  GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is never cleared
and worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() retries indefinitely.

This problem can be reproduced semi reliably while the system is
entering suspend.

ce31332d3c hrtimer: Initialize CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE table statically
Sedat and Bruno reported RCU stalls which turned out to be caused by
the following;

sched_init() calls init_rt_bandwidth() which calls hrtimer_init()
_BEFORE_ hrtimers_init() is called. While not entirely correct this
worked because hrtimer_init() only accessed statically initialized
data (hrtimer_bases.clock_base[CLOCK_MONOTONIC])

Commit e06383db9 (hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more
then 2 clockids) added an indirection to the hrtimer_bases.clock_base
lookup to avoid gap handling in the hot path. The table which is used
for the translataion from CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE index is
initialized at runtime in hrtimers_init(). So the early call of the
scheduler code translates CLOCK_MONOTONIC to HRTIMER_BASE_REALTIME.

Thus the rt_bandwith timer ends up on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the timer is
armed and the wall clock time is set (e.g. ntpdate in the early boot
process - which also gives the problem deterministic behaviour
i.e. magic recovery after N hours), then the timer ends up with an
expiry time far into the future. That breaks the RT throttler
mechanism as rt runtime is accumulated and never cleared, so the rt
throttler detects a false cpu hog condition and blocks all RT tasks
until the timer finally expires. That in turn stalls the RCU thread of
TINYRCU which leads to an huge amount of RCU callbacks piling up.

Make the translation table statically initialized, so we are back to
the status of <= 2.6.39.

bf26c01849 ptrace: Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpoints
When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer
may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and
get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed
and thus its breakpoints released.
This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle
of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing
a freed pointer.

Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference
holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is
held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference
is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's
breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

c78193e9c7 next_pidmap: fix overflow condition
next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.

Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.

So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT.  The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).

[ Use PID_MAX_LIMIT rather than pid_max as per Eric Biederman ]

1791f88143 posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphore
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex.
However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock
operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes.

For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp
coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime
would have to wait for almost a whole second.

This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of
a mutex.

49cac01e1f block: make unplug timer trace event correspond to the schedule() unplug
It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering
would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new
scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is.
It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug)
or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO
queued).

a237c1c5bc block: let io_schedule() flush the plug inline
Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.

So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.

0cd9c6494e futex: Set FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT during futex_wait restart setup
The FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT flag was not getting set, causing the restart_block to
restart futex_wait() without a timeout after a signal.

Commit b41277dc7a in 2.6.38 introduced the regression by accidentally
removing the the FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT assignment from futex_wait() during the setup
of the restart block. Restore the originaly behavior.

6631e635c6 block: don't flush plugged IO on forced preemtion scheduling
We really only want to unplug the pending IO when the process actually
goes to sleep.  So move the test for flushing the plug up to the place
where we actually deactivate the task - where we have properly checked
for preemption and for the process really sleeping.
