564c2b210a perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts
When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited
counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where
both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set
of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together.
In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to
count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to
go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating
the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task.

This optimizes the context switch in this situation.  Instead of
scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and
scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context
to the new task and keep using it without interruption.  The new
context gets transferred to the old task.  This means that both
tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case
is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on
this CPU or another CPU.

The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in
each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from.
To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding
or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a
generation number on each context which is incremented every time
a context is changed.  When a context is cloned we take a copy
of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are
equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same
generation number.  In order that the parent context pointer
remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent
context's reference count for each context cloned from it.

Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned
context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent
different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all
counters with prctl.  To account for this, we keep a count of the
number of enabled counters in each context.  Two contexts must have
the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent.

Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with
the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with
and without this patch series:

		-----Unmodified-----		With this patch series
Counters:	none	2 HW	4H+4S	none	2 HW	4H+4S

2 processes:
Average		3.44	6.45	11.24	3.12	3.39	3.60
St dev		0.04	0.04	0.13	0.05	0.17	0.19

8 processes:
Average		6.45	8.79	14.00	5.57	6.23	7.57
St dev		1.27	1.04	0.88	1.42	1.46	1.42

32 processes:
Average		5.56	8.43	13.78	5.28	5.55	7.15
St dev		0.41	0.47	0.53	0.54	0.57	0.81

The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of
lat_ctx.  The "none" columns are lat_ctx run directly without any
counters.  The "2 HW" columns are with lat_ctx run under perfstat,
counting cycles and instructions.  The "4H+4S" columns are lat_ctx run
under perfstat with 4 hardware counters and 4 software counters
(cycles, instructions, cache references, cache misses, task
clock, context switch, cpu migrations, and page faults).

a63eaf34ae perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context struct
This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with
a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct.  The
main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a
perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU
switching in a later patch.

This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller,
we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached
get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the
inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't
end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes.

The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed
when the last reference is dropped.  A context can have references
from its task and the counters on its task.  Counters can outlive the
task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its
task has exited.

Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or
otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task.
In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct
locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we
raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task.

This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct.  The
task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a
context from one task to another.  Anything that needed to know which
task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task.

The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c
so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes
the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged.

We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from
__perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from
__perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed.
This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if
the counter has already been removed from the lists.

Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't
have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to
__perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in
the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and
thus creates a context for itself.

This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a
similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled
using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

8e7d2b2c6e drm/i915: allocate large pointer arrays with vmalloc
For awhile now, many of the GEM code paths have allocated page or
object arrays with the slab allocator.  This is nice and fast, but
won't work well if memory is fragmented, since the slab allocator works
with physically contiguous memory (i.e. order > 2 allocations are
likely to fail fairly early after booting and doing some work).

This patch works around the issue by falling back to vmalloc for
>PAGE_SIZE allocations.  This is ugly, but much less work than chaining
a bunch of pages together by hand (suprisingly there's not a bunch of
generic kernel helpers for this yet afaik).  vmalloc space is somewhat
precious on 32 bit kernels, but our allocations shouldn't be big enough
to cause problems, though they're routinely more than a page.

Note that this patch doesn't address the unchecked
alloc-based-on-ioctl-args in GEM; that needs to be fixed in a separate
patch.

Also, I've deliberately ignored the DRM's "area" junk.  I don't think
anyone actually uses it anymore and I'm hoping it gets ripped out soon.

[Updated: removed size arg to new free function.  We could unify the
free functions as well once the DRM mem tracking is ripped out.]

eb33575cf6 [ARM] Double check memmap is actually valid with a memmap has unexpected holes V2
pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid memmap
associated with it or not. In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always
have valid memmap as long as there is valid PFNs either side of the hole.
In SPARSEMEM, it is assumed that a valid section has a memmap for the
entire section.

However, ARM and maybe other embedded architectures in the future free
memmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is never
used. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid()
returns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional
check to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure the
zone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers of
the full memmap are extremely rare.

This was caught before for FLATMEM and hacked around but it hits again for
SPARSEMEM because the page_zone linkages can look ok where the PFN linkages
are totally screwed. This looks like a hatchet job but the reality is that
any clean solution would end up consumning all the memory saved by punching
these unexpected holes in the memmap. For example, we tried marking the
memmap within the section invalid but the section size exceeds the size of
the hole in most cases so pfn_valid() starts returning false where valid
memmap exists. Shrinking the size of the section would increase memory
consumption offsetting the gains.

This patch identifies when an architecture is punching unexpected holes
in the memmap that the memory model cannot automatically detect and sets
ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL. At the moment, this is restricted to EP93xx
which is the model sub-architecture this has been reported on but may expand
later. When set, walkers of the full memmap must call memmap_valid_within()
for each PFN and passing in what it expects the page and zone to be for
that PFN. If it finds the linkages to be broken, it assumes the memmap is
invalid for that PFN.

 |
 |    x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model

we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore.

Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.

This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return
values defined as valid in the standard.  Only then are the
characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page.

This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have
been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit
without any version checking whatsoever.  With no complaints so far.

The same can happen for iscsi when transitioning from logged in
to failed and blocking the sdevs.

This patch converts iscsi and fc's transitions back to use DID_IMM_RETRY
instead of DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED which has a limited number of retries
that we do not want to use for handling this race.

9d23a90a67 perf_counter: allow arch to supply event misc flags and instruction pointer
At present the values we put in overflow events for the misc
flags indicating processor mode and the instruction pointer are
obtained using the standard user_mode() and
instruction_pointer() functions. Those functions tell you where
the performance monitor interrupt was taken, which might not be
exactly where the counter overflow occurred, for example
because interrupts were disabled at the point where the
overflow occurred, or because the processor had many
instructions in flight and chose to complete some more
instructions beyond the one that caused the counter overflow.

Some architectures (e.g. powerpc) can supply more precise
information about where the counter overflow occurred and the
processor mode at that point.  This introduces new functions,
perf_misc_flags() and perf_instruction_pointer(), which arch
code can override to provide more precise information if
available.  They have default implementations which are
identical to the existing code.

This also adds a new misc flag value,
PERF_EVENT_MISC_HYPERVISOR, for the case where a counter
overflow occurred in the hypervisor.  We encode the processor
mode in the 2 bits previously used to indicate user or kernel
mode; the values for user and kernel mode are unchanged and
hypervisor mode is indicated by both bits being set.

dce48a84ad sched, timers: move calc_load() to scheduler
Dimitri Sivanich noticed that xtime_lock is held write locked across
calc_load() which iterates over all online CPUs. That can cause long
latencies for xtime_lock readers on large SMP systems. 

The load average calculation is an rough estimate anyway so there is
no real need to protect the readers vs. the update. It's not a problem
when the avenrun array is updated while a reader copies the values.

Instead of iterating over all online CPUs let the scheduler_tick code
update the number of active tasks shortly before the avenrun update
happens. The avenrun update itself is handled by the CPU which calls
do_timer().

This reverts commit fafd688e4c0c34da0f3de909881117d374e4c7af.

Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing
for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs
to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not
have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily
revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API
forever.

9e35ad388b perf_counter: Rework the perf counter disable/enable
The current disable/enable mechanism is:

	token = hw_perf_save_disable();
	...
	/* do bits */
	...
	hw_perf_restore(token);

This works well, provided that the use nests properly. Except we don't.

x86 NMI/INT throttling has non-nested use of this, breaking things. Therefore
provide a reference counter disable/enable interface, where the first disable
disables the hardware, and the last enable enables the hardware again.

4f005dbe55 ioatdma: fix "ioatdma frees DMA memory with wrong function"
as reported by Alexander Beregalov <a.beregalov@gmail.com>

ioatdma 0000:00:08.0: DMA-API: device driver frees DMA memory with
wrong function [device address=0x000000007f76f800] [size=2000 bytes]
[map
ped as single] [unmapped as page]

The ioatdma driver was unmapping all regions
(either allocated as page or single) using unmap_page.
This patch lets dma driver recognize if unmap_single or unmap_page should be used.
It introduces two new dma control flags:
DMA_COMPL_SRC_UNMAP_SINGLE and DMA_COMPL_DEST_UNMAP_SINGLE.
They should be set to indicate dma driver to do dma-unmapping as single
(first one for the source, tha latter for the destination).
If respective flag is not set, the driver assumes dma-unmapping as page.

9934c8c045 block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch
Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request().  After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing.  Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.

Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary.  However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing.  Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.

Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model.  This patch completes the API transition by...

* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()

* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()

* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start

* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests

* applying new API to all LLDs

Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.
