iwlwifi: mvm: don't override passive dwell in case of fragmented scan
Currently scan params structure has only active or passive dwell time
fields, passive one is used for fragmented scans too. FW needs the
passive dwell time even when performing fragmented scan for calculating
time between channels. Add a separate parameter for fragmented dwell time
and pass both fragmented and passive to FW.

iwlwifi: mvm: add trigger for firmware dump upon statistics
It can be very useful to monitor the statistics and trigger
a firmware dump when a certain value hits a certain offset.
Since the statistics are huge, add a generic trigger. When
the DWORD at offset X reaches value Y.
Since there is another trigger before this one I can't add
right now because of a dependency on mac80211, add a
reserved entry to keep the enum in place.
iwlwifi: mvm: restart firmware recording when no configuration is set
Sometimes the firmware will have a hard coded configuration.
In this case, the driver won't find any configuration
in the firmware file, and it will have to re-start
recording in case it has been stopped. This can't be done
by the configuration host command since there is no such
host command configured. Do that with the registers instead.
iwlwifi: mvm: add trigger for firmware dump upon missed beacons
Missing beacons is a good indication that something is going
wrong in the firmware. Add a trigger to be able to collect
data when we start missing beacons with a configurable
threshold.
iwlwifi: mvm: add the cause of the firmware dump in the dump
Now that the firmware dump can be triggered by events in
the code and not only the user or an firmware ASSERT, we
need a way to know why the firmware dump was triggered.
Add a section in the dump file for that.
iwlwifi: mvm: add framework for triggers for fw dump
Most of the time, the issues we want to debug with the
firmware dump mechanism are transient. It is then very
hard to stop the recording on time and get meaningful
data.
In order to solve this, I add here an infrastucture
of triggers. The user will supply a list of triggers
that will start / stop the recording. We have two types
of triggers: start and stop. Start triggers can start a
specific configuration. The stop triggers will be able to
kick the collection of the data with the currently running
configuration. These triggers are given to the driver by
the .ucode file - just like the configuration.
In the next patches, I'll add triggers in the code.

Instead of using the translated mac80211 info it's easier and

I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled
against python 3.3) but there were several errors.
I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I
tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod).
Main issues that needed to be resolved:
* In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is
__next__() instead (so let's just add both).
* In older python versions there was an implicit conversion
in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format())
where it was converting the object to str first and then
calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so
we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which
we need to keep this behavior.
* In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object
which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string
methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in
python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview
and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3.
This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python
3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a
reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version
checks etc).

lx-symbols first reloads vmlinux. Then it searches recursively for *.ko

the kernel's module list, issuing the necessary add-symbol-file command
for each loaded module so that gdb knows which module symbol corresponds
to which address. It also looks up variable sections (bss, data, rodata)
and appends their address to the add-symbole-file command line. This
allows to access global module variables just like any other variable.

scripts/gdb: add infrastructure
This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python
helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb.
The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when
opening <objfile>. Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the
main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux.
The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
commands and functions. To avoid polluting the source directory with
compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.
Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we
depend on gdb >= 7.2.
This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.

eventfd: don't take the spinlock in eventfd_poll
The spinlock in eventfd_poll is trying to protect the count of events so
it can decide if it should return POLLIN, POLLERR, or POLLOUT. But,
because of the way we drop the lock after calling poll_wait, and drop it
again before returning, we have the same pile of races with the lock as
we do with a single read of ctx->count().
This replaces the lock with a read barrier and single read.
eventfd_write does a single bump of ctx->count, so this should not add
new races with adding events. eventfd_read is similar, it will do a
single decrement with the lock held, and so we're making the race with
concurrent readers slightly larger.
This spinlock is the top CPU user in kernel code during one of our
workloads. Removing it gives us a ~2% boost.

When updating PT_NOTE header size (ie. p_memsz), an overflow issue
happens with the following bogus note entry:
n_namesz = 0xFFFFFFFF
n_descsz = 0x0
n_type = 0x0
This kind of note entry should be dropped during updating p_memsz. But
because n_namesz is 32bit, after (n_namesz + 3) & (~3), it's overflow to
0x0, the note entry size looks sane and reserved.
When userspace (eg. crash utility) is trying to access such bogus note,
it could lead to an unexpected behavior (eg. crash utility segment fault
because it's reading bogus address).
The source of bogus note hasn't been identified yet. At least we could
drop the bogus note so user space wouldn't be surprised.
