b478b782e1 kallsyms, tracing: output more proper symbol name
Impact: bugfix, output more reliable symbol lookup result

Debug tools(dump_stack(), ftrace...) are like to print out symbols.
But it is always print out the first aliased symbol.(Aliased symbols
are symbols with the same address), and the first aliased symbol is
sometime not proper.

 # echo function_graph > current_tracer
 # cat trace
......
 1)   1.923 us    |    select_nohz_load_balancer();
 1) + 76.692 us   |  }
 1)               |  default_idle() {
 1)   ==========> |    __irqentry_text_start() {
 1)   0.000 us    |      native_apic_mem_write();
 1)               |      irq_enter() {
 1)   0.000 us    |        idle_cpu();
 1)               |        tick_check_idle() {
 1)   0.000 us    |          tick_check_oneshot_broadcast();
 1)               |          tick_nohz_stop_idle() {
......

It's very embarrassing, it ouputs "__irqentry_text_start()",
actually, it should output "smp_apic_timer_interrupt()".
(these two symbol are the same address, but "__irqentry_text_start"
is deemed to the first aliased symbol by scripts/kallsyms)

This patch puts symbols like "__irqentry_text_start" to the second
aliased symbols. And a more proper symbol name becomes the first.

Aliased symbols mostly come from linker script. The solution is
guessing "is this symbol defined in linker script", the symbols
defined in linker script will not become the first aliased symbol.

And if symbols are found to be equal in this "linker script provided"
criteria, symbols are sorted by the number of prefix underscores.

7f96f93f02 tracing: move binary buffers into per cpu directory
The binary_buffers directory in /debugfs/tracing held the files
to read the trace buffers in a binary format. This held one file
per CPU buffer. But we also have a per_cpu directory that holds
a way to read the pretty-print formats.

This patch moves the binary buffers into the per_cpu_directory:

 # ls /debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/
trace  trace_pipe  trace_pipe_raw

The new name is called "trace_pipe_raw". The binary buffers always
acted similar to trace_pipe, except that they produce raw data.

aa8e4fc68d bitmap: fix end condition in bitmap_find_free_region
Guennadi Liakhovetski noticed that the end condition for the loop in
bitmap_find_free_region() is wrong, and the "return if error" was also
using the wrong conditional that would only trigger if the bitmap was an
exact multiple of the allocation size, which is not necessarily the case
with dma_alloc_from_coherent().

Such a failure would end up in bitmap_find_free_region() accessing
beyond the end of the bitmap.

e447e1df2e tracing: explain why stack tracer is empty
If the stack tracing is disabled (by default) the stack_trace file

 # cat /debug/tracing/stack_trace

        -----    ----      --------

This can be frustrating to a developer that does not realize that the

  # cat /debug/tracing/stack_trace

 # kernel command line

The binary printk saves a pointer to the format string in the ring buffer.
On output, the format is processed. But if the user is reading the
ring buffer through a binary interface, the pointer is meaningless.

This patch creates a file called printk_formats that maps the pointers
to the formats.

e9fb2b6d58 tracing: have event_trace_printk use static tracer
Impact: speed up on event tracing

The event_trace_printk is currently a wrapper function that calls
trace_vprintk. Because it uses a variable for the fmt it misses out
on the optimization of using the binary printk.

This patch makes event_trace_printk into a macro wrapper to use the
fmt as the same as the trace_printks.

48ead02030 tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats strings
Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings

Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static
containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is
assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic
formats.

So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers
that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format
strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation
for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will
still be used.

The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old
implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't
guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not.

Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably
the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

db526ca329 tracing: show that buffer size is not expanded
Impact: do not confuse user on small trace buffer sizes

When the system boots up, the trace buffer is small to conserve memory.
It is only two pages per online CPU. When the tracer is used, it expands
to the default value.

This can confuse the user if they look at the buffer size and see only
7, but then later they see 1408.

 # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
7

 # echo sched_switch > /debug/tracing/current_tracer

 # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb

buffer has not been expanded.

8aabee573d ring-buffer: remove unneeded get_online_cpus
Impact: speed up and remove possible races

The get_online_cpus was added to the ring buffer because the original
design would free the ring buffer on a CPU that was being taken
off line. The final design kept the ring buffer around even when the
CPU was taken off line. This is to allow a user to still read the
information on that ring buffer.

Most of the get_online_cpus are no longer needed since the ring buffer will
not disappear from the use cases.

c12e56ef69 RDMA/nes: Don't allow userspace QPs to use STag zero
STag zero is a special STag that allows consumers to access any bus
address without registering memory.  The nes driver unfortunately
allows STag zero to be used even with QPs created by unprivileged
userspace consumers, which means that any process with direct verbs
access to the nes device can read and write any memory accessible to
the underlying PCI device (usually any memory in the system).  Such
access is usually given for cluster software such as MPI to use, so
this is a local privilege escalation bug on most systems running this
driver.

The driver was using STag zero to receive the last streaming mode
data; to allow STag zero to be disabled for unprivileged QPs, the
driver now registers a special MR for this data.

7ef0d7377c fs: new inode i_state corruption fix
There was a report of a data corruption
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121.  There is a script included to
reproduce the problem.

During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I
tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem.  I found that
fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be
cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had
already been called for that inode.  This points to memory scribble, or
synchronisation problme.

i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other
processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is
cleared.  Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify
i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from
the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without
waiting for I_NEW.  Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption.  In
my case it would look like this:

CPU0                            CPU1
unlock_new_inode()              __sync_single_inode()
 reg <- inode->i_state
 reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW)   reg <- inode->i_state
 reg -> inode->i_state          reg -> reg | I_SYNC
                                reg -> inode->i_state

Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again.

Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them:
inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity
operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory
either.

After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or
hangs after ~1hour of running.  Previously, the new warnings would start
immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes.

I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either.  I
don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a
real problem for me.

1ba869ec58 acer-wmi: fix regression in backlight detection
Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI
backlight device.  As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all.
 We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other
laptop drivers do.  This regression was introduced in febf2d9 ("Acer-WMI:
fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality").

Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around
febf2d9.  The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g.
a598c82f for a similar but correct change.  The regression is also in
2.6.28.

7c48ed3383 mmc: s3cmci: fix s3c2410_dma_config() arguments.
The s3cmci driver is calling s3c2410_dma_config with incorrect data for
the DCON register.  The S3C2410_DCON_HWTRIG is implicit in the channel
configuration and the device selection of S3C2410_DCON_CH0_SDI is
incorrect as the DMA system may not select channel 0.
