d859e29fe3 perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls
Impact: New perf_counter features

This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable
counters and groups.  Enabling or disabling a counter or group also
enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned
from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level
counter.  The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via
ioctl on the counter file descriptor.

Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to
handle child counter groups properly.  A group with multiple counters
will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the
hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a
group in the child task.

In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given
top-level counter, we need a way to find them all.  Hence I have added
a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the
list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for
a child counter.  That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex
field.

This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct.  Previously
the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the
context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock
and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's
child_list.  But the counter enable/disable functions need to take
that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take
the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's
state safely, which will lead to a deadlock.

To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context,
and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't
change - you have to take both before changing the list.  Now
perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which
incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of
GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock.  Similarly the new
enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list
of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the
counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter.

We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context
would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were
using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU.
But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero
(because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like
the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in
__perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry.  So this adds an 'is_active'
field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no
counters.  The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for
per-cpu contexts.

If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU,
and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the
whole group off the CPU.  We do this with group_sched_out, which gets
moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers.  This also
adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on,
or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to
a group.

3b6f9e5cb2 perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups
Impact: New perf_counter features

A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU
whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for
a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group.  If the system
cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where
it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0
bytes read).  The group can be released from error state and made
readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE).  When we
have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able
to reset the error state on individual groups.

An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group
using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on.  The
counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there
are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups
onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement
does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can
always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on).
With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU
registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will
perturb other measurements.

Along the way this reorganizes things a little:
- is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h.
- cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on
  the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters.  Nothing was reading
  cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless.
- A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an
  exclusive group on the CPU.
- counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called
  from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task,
  where we used to have essentially the same code.
- __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing
  the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in
  the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance
  to be scheduled in.

Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that
attribute applies to the whole group.  This avoids some awkwardness in
some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other
group members get added to the context list).  If we want to relax that
restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than
to apply a new one.

This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited
and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not
propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it
should.

01d0287f06 powerpc/perf_counter: Make sure PMU gets enabled properly
This makes sure that we call the platform-specific ppc_md.enable_pmcs
function on each CPU before we try to use the PMU on that CPU.  If the
CPU goes off-line and then on-line, we need to do the enable_pmcs call
again, so we use the hw_perf_counter_setup hook to ensure that.  It gets
called as each CPU comes online, but it isn't called on the CPU that is
coming up, so this adds the CPU number as an argument to it (there were
no non-empty instances of hw_perf_counter_setup before).

This also arranges to set the pmcregs_in_use field of the lppaca (data
structure shared with the hypervisor) on each CPU when we are using the
PMU and clear it when we are not.  This allows the hypervisor to optimize
partition switches by not saving/restoring the PMU registers when we
aren't using the PMU.

dd0e6ba22e perf_counter: Always schedule all software counters in
Software counters aren't subject to the limitations imposed by the
fixed number of hardware counter registers, so there is no reason not
to enable them all in __perf_counter_sched_in.  Previously we used to
break out of the loop when we got to a group that wouldn't fit on the
PMU; with this we continue through the list but only schedule in
software counters (or groups containing only software counters) from
there on.

fa853a4841 libata: only ports >= 0 need to synchronize
In a discussio with Jeff Garzik, he mentioned that the serialization
for the libata port probes only needs to be within the domain of a host.
This means that for the first port of each host (with ID 0), we don't
need to wait, so we can relax our serialization a little.

take a pointer to an RB node or RB root. They do not change the

and I call 'rb_next(&p->rb)', I get a GCC warning:

16b067993d powerpc/perf_counter: Add support for PPC970 family
This adds the back-end for the PMU on the PPC970 family.

The PPC970 allows events from the ISU to be selected in two different
ways.  Rather than use alternative event codes to express this, we
instead use a single encoding for ISU events and express the
resulting constraint (that you can't select events from all three
of FPU/IFU/VPU, ISU and IDU/STS at the same time, since they all come
in through only 2 multiplexers) using a NAND constraint field, and
work out which multiplexer is used for ISU events at compute_mmcr
time.

4574910e50 powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware
This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access
PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors.  It has been designed
for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will
hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably
not Cell given how different it is in this area).  This doesn't
include back-ends for any specific processors.

This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the
constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted
simultaneously.  The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask +
64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of
expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers
feeding an event bus, with some events being available through
multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970.
Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for
each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible
combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination
that will fit.

cfce41a6d6 LIS3LV02D: separate the core from HP ACPI API
The sensor can be accessed via various buses.  In particular, SPI, I²C
and, on HP laptops, via a specific ACPI API (the only one currently
supported).  Separate this latest platform from the core of the sensor
driver to allow support for the other bus type.  The second, and more
direct goal is actually to be able to merge this part with the
hp-disk-leds driver, which has the same ACPI PNP number.

c4be0c1dc4 filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests.  So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.

In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g.  VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.

If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.

So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
   with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
   or the snapshot.

This patch:

VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.

ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.

reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

6230582320 firewire: core: fix sleep in atomic context due to driver core change
Due to commit 2831fe6f9c, "driver core:
create a private portion of struct device", device_initialize() can no
longer be called from atomic contexts.

We now defer it until after config ROM probing.  This requires changes
to the bus manager code because this may use a device before it was
probed.
