a8d757ef07 perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch code
The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading
to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active
cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU
would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a
simple ping/pong example:

 $ ./pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 10684.51 ctxsw/s

Now start a cgroup perf stat:
 $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 100

$ ./pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 6674.61 ctxsw/s

That's a 37% penalty.

Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup.

The results shown by perf stat are bogus:
 $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 100

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100':

 CPU1 <not counted> cycles   test
 CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles  #    0.000 GHz

The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock
(here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups.

The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any
cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are
in the same cgroup.

With this patch the same test now yields:
 $ ./pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 10775.30 ctxsw/s

Start perf stat with cgroup:

 $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10

Run pong outside the cgroup:
 $ /pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 10687.80 ctxsw/s

The penalty is now less than 2%.

And the results for perf stat are correct:

$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':

 CPU1 <not counted> cycles test #    0.000 GHz
 CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles      #    0.000 GHz

Now perf stat reports the correct counts for
for the non cgroup event.

If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the
correct counts:

$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':

 CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test #    0.000 GHz
 CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles      #    0.000 GHz

3c9c36bced net: Define NETDEV_FCOE_WWNN, NETDEV_FCOE_WWPN only when CONFIG_LIBFCOE is enabled
bnx2fc driver calls netdev->netdev_ops->ndo_fcoe_get_wwn() and it may not
be defined with the current Kconfig dependencies.  ndo_fcoe_get_wwn is
dependent on CONFIG_FCOE, but bnx2fc does not select CONFIG_FCOE, as it does
not depend on fcoe driver. Since both fcoe and bnx2fc drivers select
CONFIG_LIBFCOE, define NETDEV_FCOE_WWNN and NETDEV_FCOE_WWPN when
CONFIG_LIBFCOE is defined.

284fb68d00 rapidio: fix use of non-compatible registers
Replace/remove use of RIO v.1.2 registers/bits that are not
forward-compatible with newer versions of RapidIO specification.

RapidIO specification v.1.3 removed Write Port CSR, Doorbell CSR,
Mailbox CSR and Mailbox and Doorbell bits of the PEF CAR.

Use of removed (since RIO v.1.3) register bits affects users of
currently available 1.3 and 2.x compliant devices who may use not so
recent kernel versions.

Removing checks for unsupported bits makes corresponding routines
compatible with all versions of RapidIO specification.  Therefore,
backporting makes stable kernel versions compliant with RIO v.1.3 and
later as well.

e096d0c7e2 lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex annotation
Purely in-memory filesystems do not use the inode hash as the dcache
tells us if an entry already exists.  As a result, they do not call
unlock_new_inode, and thus directory inodes do not get put into a
different lockdep class for i_sem.

We need the different lockdep classes, because the locking order for
i_mutex is different for directory inodes and regular inodes.  Directory
inodes can do "readdir()", which takes i_mutex *before* possibly taking
mm->mmap_sem (due to a page fault while copying the directory entry to
user space).

In contrast, regular inodes can be mmap'ed, which takes mm->mmap_sem
before accessing i_mutex.

The two cases can never happen for the same inode, so no real deadlock
can occur, but without the different lockdep classes, lockdep cannot
understand that.  As a result, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set, this
can lead to false positives from lockdep like below:

    find/645 is trying to acquire lock:
     (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81109514>] might_fault+0x5c/0xac

    but task is already holding lock:
     (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81149f34>]
    vfs_readdir+0x5b/0xb4

    which lock already depends on the new lock.

    the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

    -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}:
          [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103
          [<ffffffff814db822>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4c/0x361
          [<ffffffff814dbc46>] mutex_lock_nested+0x40/0x45

          [<ffffffff81111557>] mmap_region+0x258/0x432
          [<ffffffff811119dd>] do_mmap_pgoff+0x2ac/0x306

          [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103

be27425dcc Add a personality to report 2.6.x version numbers
I ran into a couple of programs which broke with the new Linux 3.0
version.  Some of those were binary only.  I tried to use LD_PRELOAD to
work around it, but it was quite difficult and in one case impossible
because of a mix of 32bit and 64bit executables.

For example, all kind of management software from HP doesnt work, unless
we pretend to run a 2.6 kernel.

  $ uname -a
  Linux svivoipvnx001 3.0.0-08107-g97cd98f #1062 SMP Fri Aug 12 18:11:45 CEST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

  $ hpacucli ctrl all show

  Error: No controllers detected.

  $ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/hpacucli
  hpacucli-8.75-12.0

Another notable case is that Python now reports "linux3" from
sys.platform(); which in turn can break things that were checking
sys.platform() == "linux2":

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664564

It seems pretty clear to me though it's a bug in the apps that are using
'==' instead of .startswith(), but this allows us to unbreak broken
programs.

This patch adds a UNAME26 personality that makes the kernel report a
2.6.40+x version number instead.  The x is the x in 3.x.

I know this is somewhat ugly, but I didn't find a better workaround, and
compatibility to existing programs is important.

Some programs also read /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease.  This can be worked
around in user space with mount --bind (and a mount namespace)

To use:

  wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ak/uname26/uname26.c
  gcc -o uname26 uname26.c
  ./uname26 program

0856a30409 Scm: Remove unnecessary pid & credential references in Unix socket's send and receive path
Patch series 109f6e39..7361c36c back in 2.6.36 added functionality to
allow credentials to work across pid namespaces for packets sent via
UNIX sockets.  However, the atomic reference counts on pid and
credentials caused plenty of cache bouncing when there are numerous
threads of the same pid sharing a UNIX socket.  This patch mitigates the
problem by eliminating extraneous reference counts on pid and
credentials on both send and receive path of UNIX sockets. I found a 2x
improvement in hackbench's threaded case.

On the receive path in unix_dgram_recvmsg, currently there is an
increment of reference count on pid and credentials in scm_set_cred.
Then there are two decrement of the reference counts.  Once in scm_recv
and once when skb_free_datagram call skb->destructor function
unix_destruct_scm.  One pair of increment and decrement of ref count on
pid and credentials can be eliminated from the receive path.  Until we
destroy the skb, we already set a reference when we created the skb on
the send side.

On the send path, there are two increments of ref count on pid and
credentials, once in scm_send and once in unix_scm_to_skb.  Then there
is a decrement of the reference counts in scm_destroy's call to
scm_destroy_cred at the end of unix_dgram_sendmsg functions.   One pair
of increment and decrement of the reference counts can be removed so we
only need to increment the ref counts once.

By incorporating these changes, for hackbench running on a 4 socket
NHM-EX machine with 40 cores, the execution of hackbench on
50 groups of 20 threads sped up by factor of 2.

Hackbench command used for testing:
./hackbench 50 thread 2000

a262f0cdf1 Proportional Rate Reduction for TCP.
This patch implements Proportional Rate Reduction (PRR) for TCP.
PRR is an algorithm that determines TCP's sending rate in fast
recovery. PRR avoids excessive window reductions and aims for
the actual congestion window size at the end of recovery to be as
close as possible to the window determined by the congestion control
algorithm. PRR also improves accuracy of the amount of data sent
during loss recovery.

The patch implements the recommended flavor of PRR called PRR-SSRB
(Proportional rate reduction with slow start reduction bound) and
replaces the existing rate halving algorithm. PRR improves upon the
existing Linux fast recovery under a number of conditions including:
  1) burst losses where the losses implicitly reduce the amount of
outstanding data (pipe) below the ssthresh value selected by the
congestion control algorithm and,
  2) losses near the end of short flows where application runs out of
data to send.

As an example, with the existing rate halving implementation a single
loss event can cause a connection carrying short Web transactions to
go into the slow start mode after the recovery. This is because during
recovery Linux pulls the congestion window down to packets_in_flight+1
on every ACK. A short Web response often runs out of new data to send
and its pipe reduces to zero by the end of recovery when all its packets
are drained from the network. Subsequent HTTP responses using the same
connection will have to slow start to raise cwnd to ssthresh. PRR on
the other hand aims for the cwnd to be as close as possible to ssthresh
by the end of recovery.

56ebdaf2fa block: simplify force plug flush code a little bit
Cleaning up the code a little bit. attempt_plug_merge() traverses the plug
list anyway, we can do the request counting there, so stack size is reduced
a little bit.
The motivation here is I suspect if we should count the requests for each
queue (task could handle multiple disks in the meantime), but my test doesn't
show it's worthy doing. If somebody proves we should do it, below change
will make that more easier.

24d406a6bf TTY: pty, fix pty counting
tty_operations->remove is normally called like:
queue_release_one_tty
 ->tty_shutdown
   ->tty_driver_remove_tty
     ->tty_operations->remove

However tty_shutdown() is called from queue_release_one_tty() only if
tty_operations->shutdown is NULL. But for pty, it is not.
pty_unix98_shutdown() is used there as ->shutdown.

So tty_operations->remove of pty (i.e. pty_unix98_remove()) is never
called. This results in invalid pty_count. I.e. what can be seen in
/proc/sys/kernel/pty/nr.

I see this was already reported at:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/5/370
But it was not fixed since then.

This patch is kind of a hackish way. The problem lies in ->install. We
allocate there another tty (so-called tty->link). So ->install is
called once, but ->remove twice, for both tty and tty->link. The fix
here is to count both tty and tty->link and divide the count by 2 for
user.

And to have ->remove called, let's make tty_driver_remove_tty() global
and call that from pty_unix98_shutdown() (tty_operations->shutdown).

While at it, let's document that when ->shutdown is defined,
tty_shutdown() is not called.
