1cd8d73589 ring-buffer: remove type parameter from rb_reserve_next_event
The rb_reserve_next_event is only called for the data type (type = 0).
There is no reason to pass in the type to the function.

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  16554      24      12   16590    40ce kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  16538      24      12   16574    40be kernel/trace/ring_buffer.o

d988ff94c1 ring-buffer: check for divide by zero in ring-buffer-benchmark
Although we check if "missed" is not zero, we divide by hit + missed,
and the addition can possible overflow and become a divide by zero.

This patch checks for this case, and will report it when it happens
then modify "hit" to make the calculation be non zero.

615a3f1e05 perf_counter: call atomic64_set for counter->count
A compile warning triggered because we are calling
atomic_set(&counter->count). But since counter->count
is an atomic64_t, we have to use atomic64_set.

So the count can be set short, resulting in the reset ioctl
only resetting the low word.

a08b159fc2 perf_counter: don't count scheduler ticks as context switches
The context-switch software counter gives inflated values at present
because each scheduler tick and each process-wide counter
enable/disable prctl gets counted as a context switch.

This happens because perf_counter_task_tick, perf_counter_task_disable
and perf_counter_task_enable all call perf_counter_task_sched_out,
which calls perf_swcounter_event to record a context switch event.

This fixes it by introducing a variant of perf_counter_task_sched_out
with two underscores in front for internal use within the perf_counter
code, and makes perf_counter_task_{tick,disable,enable} call it.  This
variant doesn't record a context switch event, and takes a struct
perf_counter_context *.  This adds the new variant rather than
changing the behaviour or interface of perf_counter_task_sched_out
because that is called from other code.

6751b71ea2 perf_counter: Put whole group on when enabling group leader
Currently, if you have a group where the leader is disabled and there
are siblings that are enabled, and then you enable the leader, we only
put the leader on the PMU, and not its enabled siblings.  This is
incorrect, since the enabled group members should be all on or all off
at any given point.

This fixes it by adding a call to group_sched_in in
__perf_counter_enable in the case where we're enabling a group leader.

To avoid the need for a forward declaration this also moves
group_sched_in up before __perf_counter_enable.  The actual content of
group_sched_in is unchanged by this patch.

2e46e8b27a block: drop request->hard_* and *nr_sectors
struct request has had a few different ways to represent some
properties of a request.  ->hard_* represent block layer's view of the
request progress (completion cursor) and the ones without the prefix
are supposed to represent the issue cursor and allowed to be updated
as necessary by the low level drivers.  The thing is that as block
layer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren't
necessary and only cause confusion.  In addition, manual management of
request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at
the very least.

Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and
rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and
rq->bio->bi_size.  This is more convoluted than the hard_ case.

rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but
blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests.  rq->data_len is
initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc
requests.  This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer
and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of
black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and
what the specific LLD is actually doing.

rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in
the contiguous data area at the front.  This is mainly used by drivers
which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment.  This
value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9.  However, data length for
pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field
becomes a bit confusing.

In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property
leads only to confusion and subtle bugs.  With recent block low level
driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these
duplicate fields directly.  Drop all the duplicates.  Now rq->sector
means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and
rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length.  Everything else is
defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors.

* blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and
  now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update.
  This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no
  in-kernel user yet tho).

* bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer
  now uses byte count as the primary data length.

* blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct.  In-block users
  converted.

* blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is
  blk_rq_sectors().  In-block users converted.

* blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9.
  More convenient one is used.

* blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const
  pointer to request.

d6bf81ef0f tracing: append ":*" to internal setting of system events
The system enabling of events uses the same code as the set_event file.
It passes in the name of the system to the parser and that will enable
all the events that has that system as a name.

The problem is that it will also enable events with the same name as the
system.

If you have system name foo, and system name bar, but within the system
bar, there exists an event called foo. By setting the system name foo,
you will also be enabling the event foo in the system bar. This is not
an expected result.

The solution is to pass in "foo:*", which will only enable the system
foo and not events called foo.

5928c3cc0f tracing/filters: support for operator reserved characters in strings
When we set a filter for an event, such as:

echo "name == my_lock_name" > \
	/debug/tracing/events/lockdep/lock_acquired/filter

then the following order of token type is parsed:

- space
- operator
- parentheses
- operand

Because the operators and parentheses have a higher precedence
than the operand characters, which is normal, then we can't
use any string containing such special characters:

()=<>!&|

To get this support and also avoid ambiguous intepretation from
the parser or the human, we can do it using double quotes so that
we keep the usual languages habits.

Then after this patch you can still declare string condition like
before:

echo name == myname

But if you want to compare against a string containing an operator
character, you can use double quotes:

echo 'name == "&myname"'

Don't forget to include the whole expression into single quotes or
the double ones will be eaten by echo.

e8808c1019 tracing/filters: support for filters of dynamic sized arrays
Currently the filtering infrastructure supports well the
numeric types and fixed sized array types.

But the recently added __string() field uses a specific
indirect offset mechanism which requires a specific
predicate. Until now it wasn't supported.

This patch adds this support and implies very few changes,
only a new predicate is needed, the management of this specific
field can be done through the usual string helpers in the
filtering infrastructure.

[ Impact: support all kinds of strings in the tracing filters ]

aa47b7e0f8 sched: emit thread info flags with stack trace
When a thread is oom killed and fails to exit, it's helpful to know which
threads have access to memory reserves if the machine livelocks.  This is
done by testing for the TIF_MEMDIE thread info flag and should be
displayed alongside stack traces to identify tasks that have access to
such reserves but are still stuck allocating pages, for instance.

It would probably be helpful in other cases as well, so all thread info
flags are emitted when showing a task.

8ae79a138e tracing: add hierarchical enabling of events
With the current event directory, you can only enable individual events.
The file debugfs/tracing/set_event is used to be able to enable or
disable several events at once. But that can still be awkward.

This patch adds hierarchical enabling of events. That is, each directory
in debugfs/tracing/events has an "enable" file. This file can enable
or disable all events within the directory and below.

 # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/enable

will enable all events.

 # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/sched/enable

will enable all events in the sched subsystem.

 # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/enable
 # echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/events/irq/enable

will enable all events, but then disable just the irq subsystem events.

When reading one of these enable files, there are four results:

 0 - all events this file affects are disabled
 1 - all events this file affects are enabled
 X - there is a mixture of events enabled and disabled
 ? - this file does not affect any event

9456f0fa6d tracing: reset ring buffer when removing modules with events
Li Zefan found that there's a race using the event ids of events and
modules. When a module is loaded, an event id is incremented. We only
have 16 bits for event ids (65536) and there is a possible (but highly
unlikely) race that we could load and unload a module that registers
events so many times that the event id counter overflows.

When it overflows, it then restarts and goes looking for available
ids. An id is available if it was added by a module and released.

The race is if you have one module add an id, and then is removed.
Another module loaded can use that same event id. But if the old module
still had events in the ring buffer, the new module's call back would
get bogus data.  At best (and most likely) the output would just be
garbage. But if the module for some reason used pointers (not recommended)
then this could potentially crash.

The safest thing to do is just reset the ring buffer if a module that
registered events is removed.

[ Impact: prevent unpredictable results of event id overflows ]

57adc4d2db Eliminate thousands of warnings with gcc 3.2 build
When building with gcc 3.2 I get thousands of warnings such as

include/linux/gfp.h: In function `allocflags_to_migratetype':
include/linux/gfp.h:105: warning: null format string

due to passing a NULL format string to warn_slowpath() in

#define __WARN()		warn_slowpath(__FILE__, __LINE__, NULL)

Split this case out into a separate call.  This also shrinks the kernel
slightly:

          text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
       4802274  707668  712704 6222646  5ef336 vmlinux

       4799027  703572  712704 6215303  5ed687 vmlinux

due to removeing one argument from the commonly-called __WARN().

381a80e6df inotify: use GFP_NOFS in kernel_event() to work around a lockdep false-positive
There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep.

inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() =>
kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim =>
dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock

The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be
quite involved.

The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for
the 2.6.30 release.

Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31.  I'll queue a patch in -mm
to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget.

3e07a4f680 ring-buffer: change test to be more latency friendly
The ring buffer benchmark/test runs a producer for 10 seconds.
This is done with preemption and interrupts enabled. But if the kernel
is not compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT, it basically stops everything
but interrupts for 10 seconds.

Although this is just a test and is not for production, this attribute
can be quite annoying. It can also spawn badness elsewhere.

This patch solves the issues by calling "cond_resched" when the system
is not compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT. It also keeps track of the time
spent to call cond_resched such that it does not go against the
time calculations. That is, if the task schedules away, the time scheduled
out is removed from the test data. Note, this only works for non PREEMPT
because we do not know when the task is scheduled out if we have PREEMPT
enabled.

6634ff26cc ring-buffer: make moving the tail page a separate function
Ingo Molnar thought the code would be cleaner if we used a function call
instead of a goto for moving the tail page. After implementing this,
it seems that gcc still inlines the result and the output is pretty much
the same. Since this is considered a cleaner approach, might as well
implement it.

8e7abf1c62 ring-buffer: remove unneeded conditional in rb_reserve_next
The code in __rb_reserve_next checks on page overflow if it is the
original commiter and then resets the page back to the original
setting.  Although this is fine, and the code is correct, it is
a bit fragil. Some experimental work I did breaks it easily.

The better and more robust solution is to have all commiters that
overflow the page, simply subtract what they added.

the ftrace_events list is not "const", and concurrent access needs to be

This patch thus fixes races between loading/unloding modules and read
