strlist: Introduce strlist__entry and strlist__nr_entries methods
The strlist__entry method allows accessing strlists like an
array, will be used in the 'perf report' to access the first
entry.
We now keep the nr_entries so that we can check if we have just
one entry, will be used in 'perf report' to improve the output
by showing just at the top when we have just, say, one DSO.
While at it use nr_entries to optimize strlist__is_empty by not
using the far more costly rb_first based implementation.
Also add these extra options to control the new behaviour:
-w, --field-width
Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal
readability.
-t, --field-separator:
Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output) with
a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.

perf_counter tools: callchains: Manage the cumul hits on the fly
The cumul hits are the number of hits of every childs of a node
plus the hits of the current nodes, required for percentage
computing of a branch.
Theses numbers are calculated during the sorting of the branches of
the callchain tree using a depth first postfix traversal, so that
cumulative hits are propagated in the right order.
But if we plan to implement percentages relative to the parent and not
absolute percentages (relative to the whole overhead), we need to know
the cumulative hits of the parent before computing the children
because the relative minimum acceptable number of entries (ie: minimum
rate against the cumulative hits from the parent) is the basis to
filter the children against a given rate.
Then we need to handle the cumul hits on the fly to prepare the
implementation of relative overhead rates.

x86: atomic64: Code atomic(64)_read and atomic(64)_set in C not CPP
Occasionally we get bugs where atomic_read or atomic_set are
used on atomic64_t variables or vice versa. These bugs don't
generate warnings on x86 because atomic_read and atomic_set are
coded as macros rather than C functions, so we don't get any
type-checking on their arguments; similarly for atomic64_read
and atomic64_set in 64-bit kernels.
This converts them to C functions so that the arguments are
type-checked and bugs like this will get caught more easily. It
also converts atomic_cmpxchg and atomic_xchg, and
atomic64_cmpxchg and atomic64_xchg on 64-bit, so we get
type-checking on their arguments too.
Compiling a typical 64-bit x86 config, this generates no new
warnings, and the vmlinux text is 86 bytes smaller.

Instead we can just rely on cmpxchg8b returning either the new

We can use any 'old' value, which will be faster as it can be
loaded via immediates. Using some value that is not equal to
the real value in memory the instruction gets faster.

This reworks the parser for event descriptors to make it more
consistent in what it accepts. It is now structured as a
recursive descent parser for the following grammar:
with the extra restriction that you can have at most one
cache_op and at most one cache_result.
We pass the current string pointer by reference (i.e. as a
const char **) to the various parsing functions so that they
can advance the pointer to indicate how much they consumed.
They return 0 if they didn't recognize the thing at the pointer
or 1 if they did (and advance the pointer past it).
This also fixes parse_aliases to take the longest matching
alias from the table, not the first one. Otherwise "l1-data"
would match the "l1-d" alias and the "ata" would not be
consumed.
This allows event modifiers indicating what processor modes to
count in to be applied to any event, not just numeric events,
and adds a ":h" modifier to indicate counting in hypervisor
mode. Specifying ":u" now sets both exclude_kernel and
exclude_hv, and so on. Multiple modes can be specified, e.g.
":uk" will count in user or hypervisor mode (i.e. only
exclude_kernel will be set).

- fix list range moving
- fix indexes setting in callchains
- create a child on the current node if the path doesn't match in
the existent children (was only done on the root)
- compare using symbols when possible so that we can match a function
using any ip inside by referring to its start address.
The practical effects are:
- remove double callchains
- fix upside down or any random order of callchains
- fix wrong paths
- fix bad hits and percentage accounts

balance_dirty_pages can overreact and move all of the dirty pages to
writeback unnecessarily.
balance_dirty_pages makes its decision to throttle based on the number of
dirty plus writeback pages that are over the calculated limit,so it will
continue to move pages even when there are plenty of pages in writeback
and less than the threshold still dirty.
This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to
writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback
list.
A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem.
This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it
alone will be enough for all cases. But it certainly is an improvement on
my desktop machine writing to 2 disks.
Do we need something more for machines with large arrays where
bdi_threshold * number_of_drives is greater than the dirty_ratio ?

spi: bitbang bugfix in message setup
Bugfix to spi_bitbang infrastructure: make sure to always set transfer
parameters on the first pass through the message's per-transfer loop.
This can matter with drivers that replace the per-word or per-buffer
transfer primitives, on busses with multiple SPI devices.
Previously, this could have started messages using the settings left after
previous messages. The problem was observed when a high speed chip
(m25p80 type flash) was running very slowly because a low speed device
(avr8 microcontroller) had previously used the bus. Similar faults could
have driven the low speed device too fast, or used an unexpected word
size.

fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap locking
Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.
Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these
fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.
This is 2.6.31 material. It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
register_framebuffer()). It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that

Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag. Its coding
relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the
underlying controller driver won't perform them.
(The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the

which case the existing code applies. Similarly, any spi_master
implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

spi: new spi->mode bits
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:
* SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
full duplex.
This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
transitions with the SPI master.
* SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
each of the 3-wire flavors).
Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC
converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
many host controllers support it today.
The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).

ext2: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inode
ext2_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.
The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.
This patch thus changes ext2_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext2_iget(), as ext2 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.
With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used
vmas are added.
When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of
code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is
written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows.
Commonly available versions of cp and tar don't work well with special
files created using seq_file. Mention this problem in the gcov
documentation and update the helper script example to work around these
problems.

alpha: fix percpu build breakage
alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via
generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the
compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
in modules are unused.
This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
__used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process,
PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.
This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This
also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

Al analysed this some time ago. When we say something is const then

The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).

Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned. However the extra zeroes at the

pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
random jumps. So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
