perf: Generalize perf lock's sample event reordering to the session layer
The sample events recorded by perf record are not time ordered
because we have one buffer per cpu for each event (even demultiplexed
per task/per cpu for task bound events). But when we read trace events
we want them to be ordered by time because many state machines are
involved.
There are currently two ways perf tools deal with that:
- use -M to multiplex every buffers (perf sched, perf kmem)
But this creates a lot of contention in SMP machines on
record time.
- use a post-processing time reordering (perf timechart, perf lock)
The reordering used by timechart is simple but doesn't scale well
with huge flow of events, in terms of performance and memory use
(unusable with perf lock for example).
Perf lock has its own samples reordering that flushes its memory
use in a regular basis and that uses a sorting based on the
previous event queued (a new event to be queued is close to the
previous one most of the time).
This patch proposes to export perf lock's samples reordering facility
to the session layer that reads the events. So if a tool wants to
get ordered sample events, it needs to set its
struct perf_event_ops::ordered_samples to true and that's it.
This prepares tracing based perf tools to get rid of the need to
use buffers multiplexing (-M) or to implement their own
reordering.
Also lower the flush period to 2 as it's sufficient already.

Double acquire of read lock is allowed, so the state machine
counts read lock number, and permits double acquire and release.

I counted the number of lock instances with bad sequence,
and ratio is like this (case of tracing whoami): bad:233, total:2279

* prepared SEQ_STATE_READ_ACQUIRED for read lock.
* bunch of struct lock_seq_stat is now linked list
* debug information enhanced (this have to be removed someday)

USB: put claimed interfaces in the "suspended" state
This patch (as1370) fixes a bug in the USB runtime power management
code. When a driver claims an interface, it doesn't expect to need to
call usb_autopm_get_interface() or usb_autopm_put_interface() for
runtime PM to work. Runtime PM can be controlled by the driver's
primary interface; the additional interfaces it claims shouldn't
interfere. As things stand, the claimed interfaces will prevent the
device from autosuspending.
To fix this problem, the patch sets interfaces to the suspended state
when they are claimed.
Also, although in theory this shouldn't matter, the patch changes the
suspend code so that interfaces are suspended in reverse order from
detection and resuming. This is how the PM core works, and we ought
to use the same approach.

CRED: Fix a race in creds_are_invalid() in credentials debugging
creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then
compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct
never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct.
The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and
exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only
atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other.
This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst
they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in
which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment
before.
Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to
do is to remove that particular check.
I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test
fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've
changed several times in the meantime.
Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled.

AFS: Don't pass error value to page_cache_release() in error handling
In the error handling in afs_mntpt_do_automount(), we pass an error
pointer to page_cache_release() if read_mapping_page() failed. Instead,
we should extend the gotos around the error handling we don't need.

Fix tcdrain on coldfire uarts.
Currently with coldfire uarts tcdrain returns without waiting for txempty,
because (tx)fifosize is 0. Fix that and call uart_update_timeout when
setting the baud rate, otherwise tcdrain will wait for an half our :)
Also constify mcf_uart_ops.

uclinux: error message when FLAT reloc symbol is invalid, v2
This patch fixes a cosmetic error in printk. Text segment and data/bss
segment are allocated from two different areas. It is not meaningful to

Subject: CRED: Fix memory leak in error handling
attempts to fix a memory leak in the error handling by making the offending
return statement into a jump down to the bottom of the function where a
kfree(tgcred) is inserted.
This is, however, incorrect, as it does a kfree() after doing put_cred() if
security_prepare_creds() fails. That will result in a double free if 'error'
is jumped to as put_cred() will also attempt to free the new tgcred record by
virtue of it being pointed to by the new cred record.

quota: Convert __DQUOT_PARANOIA symbol to standard config option
Make __DQUOT_PARANOIA define from the old days a standard config option
and turn it off by default.
This gets rid of a quota warning about writes before quota is turned on
for systems with ext4 root filesystem. Currently there's no way to legally
solve this because /etc/mtab has to be written before quota is turned on
on most systems.

Before commit e28cbf22933d0c0ccaf3c4c27a1a263b41f73859 ("improve
sys_newuname() for compat architectures") 64-bit x86 had a private
implementation of sys_uname which was just called sys_uname, which other
architectures used for the old uname.
Due to some merge issues with the uname refactoring patches we ended up
calling the old uname version for both the old and new system call
slots, which lead to the domainname filed never be set which caused
failures with libnss_nis.

than 1 virtio-net device using vhost-net backend. Each virtio-net

KVM: allow bit 10 to be cleared in MSR_IA32_MC4_CTL
There is a quirk for AMD K8 CPUs in many Linux kernels (see
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c:__mcheck_cpu_apply_quirks()) that
clears bit 10 in that MCE related MSR. KVM can only cope with all
zeros or all ones, so it will inject a #GP into the guest, which
will let it panic.
So lets add a quirk to the quirk and ignore this single cleared bit.
This fixes -cpu kvm64 on all machines and -cpu host on K8 machines
with some guest Linux kernels.
