tracing/stat: remove unappropriate safe walk on list
register_stat_tracer() uses list_for_each_entry_safe
to check whether a tracer is already present in the list.
But we don't delete anything from the list here, so
we don't need the safe version
tracing/stat: replace linked list by an rbtree for sorting
When the stat tracing framework prepares the entries from a tracer
to output them to the user, it starts by computing a linear sort
through a linked list to give the entries ordered by relevance
to the user.
This is quite ugly and causes a small latency when we begin to
read the file.
This patch changes that by turning the linked list into a red-black
tree. Athough the whole iteration using the start and next tracer
callbacks while opening the file remain the same, it is now much
more fast and scalable.
The rbtree guarantees O(log(n)) insertions whereas a linked
list with linear sorting brought us a O(n) despair. Now the
(visible) latency has disapeared.
[ Impact: kill the latency while starting to read a stat tracer file ]
tracing/stat: replace trace_stat_session by stat_session
The "trace" prefix in struct trace_stat_session type is annoying while
reading the trace_stat.c file. It makes the lines longer, and
is not that much useful to explain the sense of this type.
trace_workqueue: remove blank line between each cpu
The blankline between each cpu's workqueue stat is not necessary, because
the cpu number is enough to part them by eye.
Old style also caused a blankline below headline, and made code complex
by using lock, disableirq and get cpu var.
cpu_workqueue_stats->first_entry is useless because we can retrieve the
header of a cpu workqueue using:
if (&cpu_workqueue_stats->list == workqueue_cpu_stat(cpu)->list.next)

- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events

tracing: add trace_event_read_lock()
I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist
but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction
through ftrace_find_event().
This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race
window between any event dereferencing and module removal.
If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module
is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data
from a freed module.
RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and
forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code.
So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore,

A couple of issues crept in since about 2.6.27 related to accessing PCI
device ROMs on various powerpc machines.
First, historically, we don't allocate the ROM resource in the resource
tree. I'm not entirely certain of why, I susepct they often contained
garbage on x86 but it's hard to tell. This causes the current generic
code to always call pci_assign_resource() when trying to access the said
ROM from sysfs, which will try to re-assign some new address regardless
of what the ROM BAR was already set to at boot time. This can be a
problem on hypervisor platforms like pSeries where we aren't supposed
to move PCI devices around (and in fact probably can't).
Second, our code that generates the PCI tree from the OF device-tree
(instead of doing config space probing) which we mostly use on pseries
at the moment, didn't set the (new) flag IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any
resource. That means that any attempt at re-assigning such a resource
with pci_assign_resource() would fail due to resource_alignment()
returning 0.
This fixes this by doing these two things:
- The code that calculates resource flags based on the OF device-node
is improved to set IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any valid BAR, and while at
it also set IORESOURCE_READONLY for ROMs since we were lacking that too
- We now allocate ROM resources as part of the resource tree. However
to limit the chances of nasty conflicts due to busted firmwares, we
only do it on the second pass of our two-passes allocation scheme,
so that all valid and enabled BARs get precedence.
This brings pSeries back the ability to access PCI ROMs via sysfs (and
thus initialize various video cards from X etc...).

Before when we were setting up the irq host map for mpic we passed in

with a no linear map (size = 0). This causes us to always call

powerpc: Fix oprofile sampling of marked events on POWER7
Description
-----------
Change ppc64 oprofile kernel driver to use the SLOT bits (MMCRA[37:39]only on
older processors where those bits are defined.
Background
----------
The performance monitor unit of the 64-bit POWER processor family has the
ability to collect accurate instruction-level samples when profiling on marked
events (i.e., "PM_MRK_<event-name>"). In processors prior to POWER6, the MMCRA
register contained "slot information" that the oprofile kernel driver used to
adjust the value latched in the SIAR at the time of a PMU interrupt. But as of
POWER6, these slot bits in MMCRA are no longer necessary for oprofile to use,
since the SIAR itself holds the accurate sampled instruction address. With
POWER6, these MMCRA slot bits were zero'ed out by hardware so oprofile's use of
these slot bits was, in effect, a NOP. But with POWER7, these bits are no
longer zero'ed out; however, they serve some other purpose rather than slot
information. Thus, using these bits on POWER7 to adjust the SIAR value results
in samples being attributed to the wrong instructions. The attached patch
changes the oprofile kernel driver to ignore these slot bits on all newer
processors starting with POWER6.

In #20896 we found that vbetool clobbers the IER. In KMS mode this is
particularly bad since we don't set the interrupt regs late (in
EnterVT), so we'd fail to get *any* interrupts at all after X started
(since some distros have scripts that call vbetool at X startup
apparently).
So this patch checks IER at wait_request time, and re-enables
interrupts if it's been clobbered. In a proper config this check
should never be triggered.
