0e39ac4446 tracing, Text Edit Lock - Architecture Independent Code
This is an architecture independant synchronization around kernel text
modifications through use of a global mutex.

A mutex has been chosen so that kprobes, the main user of this, can sleep
during memory allocation between the memory read of the instructions it
must replace and the memory write of the breakpoint.

Other user of this interface: immediate values.

Paravirt and alternatives are always done when SMP is inactive, so there
is no need to use locks.

9f7dcf224b percpu: move chunk area map extension out of area allocation
Impact: code reorganization for later changes

Separate out chunk area map extension into a separate function -
pcpu_extend_area_map() - and call it directly from pcpu_alloc() such
that pcpu_alloc_area() is guaranteed to have enough area map slots on
invocation.

With this change, pcpu_alloc_area() does only area allocation and the
only failure mode is when the chunk doens't have enough room, so
there's no need to distinguish it from memory allocation failures.
Make it return -1 on such cases instead of hacky -ENOSPC.

9ca0791dca x86, bts: remove bad warning
In case a ptraced task is reaped (while the tracer is still attached),
ds_exit_thread() is called before ptrace_exit(). The latter will
release the bts_tracer and remove the thread's ds_ctx.
The former will WARN() if the context is not NULL.

Oleg Nesterov submitted patches that move ptrace_exit() before
exit_thread() and thus reverse the order of the above calls.

10dd3ebe21 tracing: fix deadlock when setting set_ftrace_pid
Impact: fix deadlock while using set_ftrace_pid

Reproducer:

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
	# echo $$ > set_ftrace_pid

	then, console becomes hung.

Details:

when writing set_ftracepid, kernel callstack is following

	ftrace_pid_write()
		mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
		ftrace_update_pid_func()
			mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
			mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);
		mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);

then, system always deadlocks when ftrace_pid_write() is called.

In past days, ftrace_pid_write() used ftrace_start_lock, but
commit e6ea44e9b4 consolidated
ftrace_start_lock to ftrace_lock.

6b19b0c240 x86, percpu: setup reserved percpu area for x86_64
Impact: fix relocation overflow during module load

x86_64 uses 32bit relocations for symbol access and static percpu
symbols whether in core or modules must be inside 2GB of the percpu
segement base which the dynamic percpu allocator doesn't guarantee.
This patch makes x86_64 reserve PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE bytes in the
first chunk so that module percpu areas are always allocated from the
first chunk which is always inside the relocatable range.

This problem exists for any percpu allocator but is easily triggered
when using the embedding allocator because the second chunk is located
beyond 2GB on it.

This patch also changes the meaning of PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE such
that it only indicates the size of the area to reserve for dynamic
allocation as static and dynamic areas can be separate.  New
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVED is increased by 4k for both 32 and 64bits as
the reserved area separation eats away some allocatable space and
having slightly more headroom (currently between 4 and 8k after
minimal boot sans module area) makes sense for common case
performance.

x86_32 can address anywhere from anywhere and doesn't need reserving.

Mike Galbraith first reported the problem first and bisected it to the
embedding percpu allocator commit.

edcb463997 percpu, module: implement reserved allocation and use it for module percpu variables
Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
	percpu variables

This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk.  When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator.  This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.

If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation.  If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation.  The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.

If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.

9a4f8a878b x86: make embedding percpu allocator return excessive free space
Impact: reduce unnecessary memory usage on certain configurations

Embedding percpu allocator allocates unit_size *
smp_num_possible_cpus() bytes consecutively and use it for the first
chunk.  However, if the static area is small, this can result in
excessive prellocated free space in the first chunk due to
PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE restriction.

This patch makes embedding percpu allocator preallocate only what's
necessary as described by PERPCU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE and return the
leftover to the bootmem allocator.

cafe8816b2 percpu: use negative for auto for pcpu_setup_first_chunk() arguments

In pcpu_setup_first_chunk(), zero @unit_size and @dyn_size meant
auto-sizing.  It's okay for @unit_size as 0 doesn't make sense but 0
dynamic reserve size is valid.  Alos, if arch @dyn_size is calculated
from other parameters, it might end up passing in 0 @dyn_size and
malfunction when the size is automatically adjusted.

This patch makes both @unit_size and @dyn_size ssize_t and use -1 for

61ace7fa2f percpu: improve first chunk initial area map handling
Impact: no functional change

When the first chunk is created, its initial area map is not allocated
because kmalloc isn't online yet.  The map is allocated and
initialized on the first allocation request on the chunk.  This works
fine but the scattering of initialization logic between the init
function and allocation path is a bit confusing.

This patch makes the first chunk initialize and use minimal statically
allocated map from pcpu_setpu_first_chunk().  The map resizing path
still needs to handle this specially but it's more straight-forward
and gives more latitude to the init path.  This will ease future
changes.

770cb24345 tracing: add format files for ftrace default entries
Impact: allow user apps to read binary format of basic ftrace entries

Currently, only defined raw events export their formats so a binary
reader can parse them. There's no reason that the default ftrace entries
can't export their formats.

This patch adds a subsystem called "ftrace" in the events directory
that includes the ftrace entries for basic ftrace recorded items.

These only have three files in the events directory:

 type             : printf
 available_types  : printf
 format           : format for the event entry

For example:

 # cat /debug/tracing/events/ftrace/wakeup/format
name: wakeup
ID: 3
format:
        field:unsigned char type;       offset:0;       size:1;
        field:unsigned char flags;      offset:1;       size:1;
        field:unsigned char preempt_count;      offset:2;       size:1;
        field:int pid;  offset:4;       size:4;
        field:int tgid; offset:8;       size:4;

        field:unsigned int prev_pid;    offset:12;      size:4;

ebe35aff88 ("Orion: prepare for

The tick rate define (ORION5X_TCLK) was removed in favor of a runtime

The fix is not correct for all supported orion5x platforms, but since
the supported platforms right now are 133 Mhz and 166 Mhz, it won't
be _that_ far off. ;-) A fix that uses the runtime-determined timer
tick rate will be applied later.

2002c258fa tracing: add tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.h
Impact: cleanup

The functions tracing_start/tracing_stop have been moved to kernel.h.
These are not the functions a developer most likely wants to use
when they want to insert a place to stop tracing and restart it from
user space.

tracing_start/tracing_stop was created to work with things like
suspend to ram, where even calling smp_processor_id() can crash the
system. The tracing_start/tracing_stop was used to stop the tracer from
doing anything. These are still light weight functions, but add a bit
more overhead to be able to stop the tracers. They also have no interface
back to userland. That is, if the kernel calls tracing_stop, userland
can not start tracing.

What a developer most likely wants to use is tracing_on/tracing_off.
These are very light weight functions (simply sets or clears a bit).
These functions just stop recording into the ring buffer. The tracers
don't even know that this happens except that they would receive NULL
from the ring_buffer_lock_reserve function.

Also, there's a way for the user land to enable or disable this bit.
In debugfs/tracing/tracing_on, a user may echo "0" (same as tracing_off())
or echo "1" (same as tracing_on()) into this file. This becomes handy when
a kernel developer is debugging and wants tracing to turn off when it
hits an anomaly. Then the developer can examine the trace, and restart
tracing if they want to try again (echo 1 > tracing_on).

This patch moves the prototypes for tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.h
and comments their use, so that a kernel developer will know how
to use them.

6e5f1e1115 ide: add at91_ide driver
This is IDE host driver for AT91 (SAM9, CAP9, AT572D940HF) Static Memory
Controller with Compact Flash True IDE Mode logic.

Driver have to switch 8/16 bit bus width when accessing Task Tile or Data
Register. Moreover some extra things need to be done when setting PIO mode.
Only PIO mode is used, hardware have no DMA support. If interrupt line is
connected through GPIO extra quirk is needed to cope with fake interrupts.
