27238b2bea dm ioctl: remove lock_kernel
Remove lock_kernel() from the device-mapper ioctls - there should
be sufficient internal locking already where required.

Also remove some superfluous casts.

8ff12cfc00 SLUB: Support for performance statistics
The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but
at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in
SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the
statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache
footprint of SLUB.

There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime
statistics and its off by default.

The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options:

-D 	Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size
	mode to activity mode.

-A	Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of
	the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load.

-r	Report option will report detailed statistics on

Example (tbench load):

slabinfo -AD		->Shows the most active slabs

:0000768                   258     7174     6931  58  15

So the skbuff_fclone_cache is of highest importance for the tbench load.
Pretty high load on the 192 sized slab. Look for the aliases

slabinfo -a | grep 000192
:0000192     <- xfs_btree_cur filp kmalloc-192 uid_cache tw_sock_TCP
	request_sock_TCPv6 tw_sock_TCPv6 skbuff_head_cache xfs_ili

Likely skbuff_head_cache.


Looking into the statistics of the skbuff_fclone_cache is possible through

slabinfo skbuff_fclone_cache	->-r option implied if cache name is mentioned

Descriptions of the output:

Total:		The total number of allocation and frees that occurred for a
		slab

Fastpath:	The number of allocations/frees that used the fastpath.

Slowpath:	Other allocations

Page Alloc:	Number of calls to the page allocator as a result of slowpath
		processing

Add Partial:	Number of slabs added to the partial list through free or
		alloc (occurs during cpuslab flushes)

Remove Partial:	Number of slabs removed from the partial list as a result of
		allocations retrieving a partial slab or by a free freeing
		the last object of a slab.

RemoteObj/Froz:	How many times were remotely freed object encountered when a
		slab was about to be deactivated. Frozen: How many times was
		free able to skip list processing because the slab was in use
		as the cpuslab of another processor.

Flushes:	Number of times the cpuslab was flushed on request
		(kmem_cache_shrink, may result from races in __slab_alloc)

Refill:		Number of times we were able to refill the cpuslab from
		remotely freed objects for the same slab.

Deactivate:	Statistics how slabs were deactivated. Shows how they were
		put onto the partial list.

In general fastpath is very good. Slowpath without partial list processing is
also desirable. Any touching of partial list uses node specific locks which
may potentially cause list lock contention.

1f84260c8c SLUB: Alternate fast paths using cmpxchg_local
Provide an alternate implementation of the SLUB fast paths for alloc
and free using cmpxchg_local. The cmpxchg_local fast path is selected
for arches that have CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL set. An arch should only
set CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL if the cmpxchg_local is faster than an
interrupt enable/disable sequence. This is known to be true for both
x86 platforms so set FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL for both arches.

Currently another requirement for the fastpath is that the kernel is
compiled without preemption. The restriction will go away with the
introduction of a new per cpu allocator and new per cpu operations.

The advantages of a cmpxchg_local based fast path are:

1. Potentially lower cycle count (30%-60% faster)

2. There is no need to disable and enable interrupts on the fast path.
   Currently interrupts have to be disabled and enabled on every
   slab operation. This is likely avoiding a significant percentage
   of interrupt off / on sequences in the kernel.

3. The disposal of freed slabs can occur with interrupts enabled.

The alternate path is realized using #ifdef's. Several attempts to do the
same with macros and inline functions resulted in a mess (in particular due
to the strange way that local_interrupt_save() handles its argument and due
to the need to define macros/functions that sometimes disable interrupts
and sometimes do something else).

683d0baad3 SLUB: Use unique end pointer for each slab page.
We use a NULL pointer on freelists to signal that there are no more objects.
However the NULL pointers of all slabs match in contrast to the pointers to
the real objects which are in different ranges for different slab pages.

Change the end pointer to be a pointer to the first object and set bit 0.
Every slab will then have a different end pointer. This is necessary to ensure
that end markers can be matched to the source slab during cmpxchg_local.

Bring back the use of the mapping field by SLUB since we would otherwise have
to call a relatively expensive function page_address() in __slab_alloc().  Use
of the mapping field allows avoiding a call to page_address() in various other
functions as well.

There is no need to change the page_mapping() function since bit 0 is set on
the mapping as also for anonymous pages.  page_mapping(slab_page) will
therefore still return NULL although the mapping field is overloaded.

Also invalidate the cache instead of trying to adjust the measured fan
speed: the whole point of changing the clock divider is to get a better
reading.

05663368d2 hwmon: (w83781d) Drop W83627HF support
The W83627HF hardware monitoring features are supported by the
w83627hf driver for several years now. Support by the w83781d has
been advertised as deprecated 6 months ago, it's about time to see
it go.

5b34dbcd88 hwmon: (adm1026) Don't create files for missing inputs
On the ADM1026, pins 27 and 28 can be used for two different functions:
either temp3, or in8+in9. We should only create the sysfs files for the
function that is configured, otherwise it is confusing for the user.

67b671bceb hwmon: Let the user override the detected Super-I/O device ID
While it is possible to force SMBus-based hardware monitoring chip
drivers to drive a not officially supported device, we do not have this
possibility for Super-I/O-based drivers. That's unfortunate because
sometimes newer chips are fully compatible and just forcing the driver
to load would work. Instead of that we have to tell the users to
recompile the kernel driver, which isn't an easy task for everyone.

So, I propose that we add a module parameter to all Super-I/O based
hardware monitoring drivers, letting advanced users force the driver
to load on their machine. The user has to provide the device ID of a
supposedly compatible device. This requires looking at the source code or
a datasheet, so I am confident that users can't randomly force a driver
without knowing what they are doing. Thus this should be relatively safe.

As you can see from the code, the implementation is pretty simple and
unintrusive.
