This patch adds the "counter groups" abstraction.
Groups of counters behave much like normal 'single' counters, with a
few semantic and behavioral extensions on top of that.
A counter group is created by creating a new counter with the open()
syscall's group-leader group_fd file descriptor parameter pointing
to another, already existing counter.
Groups of counters are scheduled in and out in one atomic group, and
they are also roundrobin-scheduled atomically.
Counters that are member of a group can also record events with an
(atomic) extended timestamp that extends to all members of the group,
if the record type is set to PERF_RECORD_GROUP.

performance counters: core code
Implement the core kernel bits of Performance Counters subsystem.
The Linux Performance Counter subsystem provides an abstraction of
performance counter hardware capabilities. It provides per task and per
CPU counters, and it provides event capabilities on top of those.
Performance counters are accessed via special file descriptors.
There's one file descriptor per virtual counter used.
The special file descriptor is opened via the perf_counter_open()
system call:
int
perf_counter_open(u32 hw_event_type,
u32 hw_event_period,
u32 record_type,
pid_t pid,
int cpu);
The syscall returns the new fd. The fd can be used via the normal
VFS system calls: read() can be used to read the counter, fcntl()
can be used to set the blocking mode, etc.
Multiple counters can be kept open at a time, and the counters
can be poll()ed.

time: catch xtime_nsec underflows and fix them
Impact: fix time warp bug
Alex Shi, along with Yanmin Zhang have been noticing occasional time
inconsistencies recently. Through their great diagnosis, they found that
the xtime_nsec value used in update_wall_time was occasionally going
negative. After looking through the code for awhile, I realized we have
the possibility for an underflow when three conditions are met in
update_wall_time():
1) We have accumulated a second's worth of nanoseconds, so we
incremented xtime.tv_sec and appropriately decrement xtime_nsec.
(This doesn't cause xtime_nsec to go negative, but it can cause it
to be small).
2) The remaining offset value is large, but just slightly less then
cycle_interval.
3) clocksource_adjust() is speeding up the clock, causing a
corrective amount (compensating for the increase in the multiplier
being multiplied against the unaccumulated offset value) to be
subtracted from xtime_nsec.
This can cause xtime_nsec to underflow.
Unfortunately, since we notify the NTP subsystem via second_overflow()
whenever we accumulate a full second, and this effects the error
accumulation that has already occured, we cannot simply revert the
accumulated second from xtime nor move the second accumulation to after
the clocksource_adjust call without a change in behavior.
This leaves us with (at least) two options:
1) Simply return from clocksource_adjust() without making a change if we
notice the adjustment would cause xtime_nsec to go negative.
This would work, but I'm concerned that if a large adjustment was needed
(due to the error being large), it may be possible to get stuck with an
ever increasing error that becomes too large to correct (since it may
always force xtime_nsec negative). This may just be paranoia on my part.
2) Catch xtime_nsec if it is negative, then add back the amount its
negative to both xtime_nsec and the error.
This second method is consistent with how we've handled earlier rounding
issues, and also has the benefit that the error being added is always in
the oposite direction also always equal or smaller then the correction
being applied. So the risk of a corner case where things get out of
control is lessened.

The problem seems to have been triggered by "[WATCHDOG] iTCO_wdt :
problem with rebooting on new ICH9 based motherboards" (commit 7cd5b08be3c489df11b559fef210b81133764ad4), but the bogus code existed
before that too (in the "supermicro_old_pre_stop()" function), it just
apparently never showed up due to different logic.
In that commit the broken code got moved around and now gets executed
much more.

Hi Alan,
Looking at the kernel driver code for oprofile it can return the "i386/p6" for
the cpu_type. However, looking at the user-space oprofile code there isn't the
matching entry in libop/op_cpu_type.c or the events/unit_mask files in
events/i386 directory.
The Intel AP-485 says this is a "Intel Pentium M processor model D". Seems like
the oprofile kernel driver should be identifying the processor as "i386/p6_mobile"
The driver identification code doesn't look quite right in nmi_init.c

powerpc/83xx: Fix MCU support merge issue in mpc8349emitx.dts
Just found the merge issue in 442746989d92afc125040e0f29b33602ad94da99
("powerpc/83xx: Add support for MCU microcontroller in .dts files"):
the commit adds the MCU controller node into the DMA node, which is
wrong because the MCU sits on the I2C bus. Fix this by moving the MCU
node into the I2C controller node.
The original patch[1] was OK though. ;-)

block: fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask
Fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask for stacked md/dm
devices.
When stacking devices (LVM over MD over SCSI) some of the request queue
parameters are not set up correctly in some cases by default, namely
max_segment_size and and seg_boundary mask.
If you create MD device over SCSI, these attributes are zeroed.
Problem become when there is over this mapping next device-mapper mapping
- queue attributes are set in DM this way:
Unfortunately bio_add_page (resp. bio_phys_segments) calculates number of
physical segments according to these parameters.
During the generic_make_request() is segment cout recalculated and can
increase bio->bi_phys_segments count over the allowed limit. (After
bio_clone() in stack operation.)
Thi is specially problem in CCISS driver, where it produce OOPS here
BUG_ON(creq->nr_phys_segments > MAXSGENTRIES);
(MAXSEGENTRIES is 31 by default.)
Sometimes even this command is enough to cause oops:
This command generates bios with 250 sectors, allocated in 32 4k-pages
(last page uses only 1024 bytes).
For LVM layer, it allocates bio with 31 segments (still OK for CCISS),
unfortunatelly on lower layer it is recalculated to 32 segments and this
violates CCISS restriction and triggers BUG_ON().
The patch tries to fix it by:
* initializing attributes above in queue request constructor
blk_queue_make_request()
* make sure that blk_queue_stack_limits() inherits setting
(DM uses its own function to set the limits because it
blk_queue_stack_limits() was introduced later. It should probably switch
to use generic stack limit function too.)
* sets the default seg_boundary value in one place (blkdev.h)
* use this mask as default in DM (instead of -1, which differs in 64bit)

block: internal dequeue shouldn't start timer
blkdev_dequeue_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are equivalent and
both start the timeout timer. Barrier code dequeues the original
barrier request but doesn't passes the request itself to lower level
driver, only broken down proxy requests; however, as the original
barrier code goes through the same dequeue path and timeout timer is
started on it. If barrier sequence takes long enough, this timer
expires but the low level driver has no idea about this request and
oops follows.
Timeout timer shouldn't have been started on the original barrier
request as it never goes through actual IO. This patch unexports
elv_dequeue_request(), which has no external user anyway, and makes it
operate on elevator proper w/o adding the timer and make
blkdev_dequeue_request() call elv_dequeue_request() and add timer.
Internal users which don't pass the request to driver - barrier code
and end_that_request_last() - are converted to use
elv_dequeue_request().

When block layer fails to map iov, it calls bio_unmap_user to undo
mapping. Which is good if pages were mapped - but if they were provided
by someone else and just copied then bad things happen - pages are
released once here, and once by caller, leading to user triggerable BUG
at include/linux/mm.h:246.

x86: fix broken flushing in GART nofullflush path
Impact: remove stale IOTLB entries
In the non-default nofullflush case the GART is only flushed when
next_bit wraps around. But it can happen that an unmap operation unmaps
memory which is behind the current next_bit location. If these addresses
are reused it may result in stale GART IO/TLB entries. Fix this by
setting the GART next_bit always behind an unmapped location.
