cpu_stop: implement stop_cpu[s]()
Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization
mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or
multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus. This is
primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and
scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple
purposes.
Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(),
stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus().
This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the
migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which
is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the
migration thread and take on its name.
* This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate
files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to
cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c.
* Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.

sched: Fix select_idle_sibling() logic in select_task_rq_fair()
Issues in the current select_idle_sibling() logic in select_task_rq_fair()
in the context of a task wake-up:
a) Once we select the idle sibling, we use that domain (spanning the cpu that
the task is currently woken-up and the idle sibling that we found) in our
wake_affine() decisions. This domain is completely different from the
domain(we are supposed to use) that spans the cpu that the task currently
woken-up and the cpu where the task previously ran.
b) We do select_idle_sibling() check only for the cpu that the task is
currently woken-up on. If select_task_rq_fair() selects the previously run
cpu for waking the task, doing a select_idle_sibling() check
for that cpu also helps and we don't do this currently.
c) In the scenarios where the cpu that the task is woken-up is busy but
with its HT siblings are idle, we are selecting the task be woken-up
on the idle HT sibling instead of a core that it previously ran
and currently completely idle. i.e., we are not taking decisions based on
wake_affine() but directly selecting an idle sibling that can cause
an imbalance at the SMT/MC level which will be later corrected by the
periodic load balancer.
Fix this by first going through the load imbalance calculations using
wake_affine() and once we make a decision of woken-up cpu vs previously-ran cpu,
then choose a possible idle sibling for waking up the task on.
Dave reported that his large SPARC machines spend lots of time in
hweight64(), try and optimize some of those needless cpumask_weight()

expensive indeed).

anonvma: when setting up page->mapping, we need to pick the _oldest_ anonvma
Otherwise we might be mapping in a page in a new mapping, but that page
(through the swapcache) would later be mapped into an old mapping too.
The page->mapping must be the case that works for everybody, not just
the mapping that happened to page it in first.
Here's the scenario:
- page gets allocated/mapped by process A. Let's call the anon_vma we
associate the page with 'A' to keep it easy to track.
- Process A forks, creating process B. The anon_vma in B is 'B', and has
a chain that looks like 'B' -> 'A'. Everything is fine.
- Swapping happens. The page (with mapping pointing to 'A') gets swapped
out (perhaps not to disk - it's enough to assume that it's just not
mapped any more, and lives entirely in the swap-cache)
In particular, what happens is that this will now be the "first"
mapping of that page, so page_add_anon_rmap() used to do
if (first)
__page_set_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);
and notice what anon_vma it will use? It will use the anon_vma for
process B!
What happens then? Trivial: process 'A' also pages it in (nothing
happens, it's not the first mapping), and then process 'B' execve's
or exits or unmaps, making anon_vma B go away.
End result: process A has a page that points to anon_vma B, but
anon_vma B does not exist any more. This can go on forever. Forget
about RCU grace periods, forget about locking, forget anything like
that. The bug is simply that page->mapping points to an anon_vma
that was correct at one point, but was _not_ the one that was shared
by all users of that possible mapping.
Changing it to always use the deepest anon_vma in the anonvma chain gets
us to the safest model.
This can be improved in certain cases: if we know the page is private to
just this particular mapping (for example, it's a new page, or it is the
only swapcache entry), we could pick the top (most specific) anon_vma.
But that's a future optimization. Make it _work_ reliably first.

Simplify and comment on anon_vma re-use for anon_vma_prepare()
This changes the anon_vma reuse case to require that we only reuse
simple anon_vma's - ie the case when the vma only has a single anon_vma
associated with it.
This means that a reuse of an anon_vma from an adjacent vma will always
guarantee that both vma's are associated not only with the same
anon_vma, they will also have the same anon_vma chain (of just a single
entry in this case).
And since anon_vma re-use was the only case where the same anon_vma
might be associated with different chains of anon_vma's, we now have the
case that every vma that shares the same anon_vma will always also have
the same chain. That makes it much easier to think about merging vma's
that share the same anon_vma's: you can always just drop the other
anon_vma chain in anon_vma_merge() since you know that they are always
identical.
This also splits up the function to validate the anon_vma re-use, and
adds a lot of commentary about the possible races.
dq_flags are modified non-atomically in do_set_dqblk via __set_bit calls and
atomically for example in mark_dquot_dirty or clear_dquot_dirty. Hence a
change done by an atomic operation can be overwritten by a change done by a
non-atomic one. Fix the problem by using atomic bitops even in do_set_dqblk.

However, this code is no longer necessary since the kernel now can do
PCI resource management fine all by itself, so remove the old code.

the correct offset is 0, and since this is the only device using PCIcore
in host mode, the offset can simply be removed unconditionally.

On AR7, we already redefine PHYS_OFFSET to match the system specifities, it
is however not sufficient when unsing dma_{map,unmap}_single, specifically

MIPS: Trace: Don't trace irqsoff for the idle process
Like x86 did in arch/x86/kernel/{process_32.c,process_64.c}, also don't
trace irqsoff for idle.
If there's no useful work to be done, we don't care about the irqsoff
duration. If we trace the idle process, the max duration of irqsoff will
be the idle time and make the irqsoff tracer useless.
Arnaud Giersch reports that NFSv4 locking is broken when we hold a
delegation since commit 8e469ebd6dc32cbaf620e134d79f740bf0ebab79 (NFSv4:
Don't allow posix locking against servers that don't support it).
According to Arnaud, the lock succeeds the first time he opens the file
(since we cannot do a delegated open) but then fails after we start using
delegated opens.
The following patch fixes it by ensuring that locking behaviour is
governed by a per-filesystem capability flag that is initially set, but
gets cleared if the server ever returns an OPEN without the
NFS4_OPEN_RESULT_LOCKTYPE_POSIX flag being set.
It causes regressions for people with IGB cards. Connection
requests don't complete etc. The true cause of the issue is
still not known, but we should sort this out in net-next-2.6
not net-2.6

NFS: Ensure that the WRITE and COMMIT RPC calls are always uninterruptible
We always want to ensure that WRITE and COMMIT completes, whether or not
the user presses ^C. Do this by making the call asynchronous, and allowing
the user to do an interruptible wait for rpc_task completion.
NFS: Ensure that writeback_single_inode() calls write_inode() when syncing
Since writeback_single_inode() checks the inode->i_state flags _before_ it
flushes out the data, we need to ensure that the I_DIRTY_DATASYNC flag is
already set. Otherwise we risk not seeing a call to write_inode(), which
again means that we break fsync() et al...

radix_tree_tag_get() is not as safe as the docs make out [ver #2]
radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in
radix_tree_tag_get():
if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
saw_unset_tag = 1;
if (height == 1) {
int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);
may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection
against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.
The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
functions reading the tree".
The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
tag doesn't vary over time:
To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
running concurrently with it.
