jump label: Add work around to i386 gcc asm goto bug
On i386 (not x86_64) early implementations of gcc would have a bug
with asm goto causing it to produce code like the following:
(This was noticed by Peter Zijlstra)
56 pushl 0
67 nopl jmp 0x6f
popl
jmp 0x8c
6f mov
test
je 0x8c
8c mov
call *(%esp)
The jump added in the asm goto skipped over the popl that matched
the pushl 0, which lead up to a quick crash of the system when
the jump was enabled. The nopl is defined in the asm goto () statement
and when tracepoints are enabled, the nop changes to a jump to the label
that was specified by the asm goto. asm goto is suppose to tell gcc that
the code in the asm might jump to an external label. Here gcc obviously
fails to make that work.
The bug report for gcc is here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46226
The bug only appears on x86 when not compiled with
-maccumulate-outgoing-args. This option is always set on x86_64 and it
is also the work around for a function graph tracer i386 bug.
(See commit: 746357d6a526d6da9d89a2ec645b28406e959c2e)
This explains why the bug only showed up on i386 when function graph
tracer was not enabled.
This patch now adds a CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL option that is default
off instead of using jump labels by default. When jump labels are
enabled, the -maccumulate-outgoing-args will be used (causing a
slightly larger kernel image on i386). This option will exist
until we have a way to detect if the gcc compiler in use is safe
to use on all configurations without the work around.
Note, there exists such a test, but for now we will keep the enabling
of jump label as a manual option.
Archs that know the compiler is safe with asm goto, may choose to
select JUMP_LABEL and enable it by default.

jump label: Fix deadlock b/w jump_label_mutex vs. text_mutex
register_kprobe() downs the 'text_mutex' and then calls
jump_label_text_reserved(), which downs the 'jump_label_mutex'.
However, the jump label code takes those mutexes in the reverse
order.
Fix by requiring the caller of jump_label_text_reserved() to do
the jump label locking via the newly added: jump_label_lock(),
jump_label_unlock(). Currently, kprobes is the only user
of jump_label_text_reserved().

jump label: Fix module __init section race
Jump label uses is_module_text_address() to ensure that the module
__init sections are valid before updating them. However, between the
check for a valid module __init section and the subsequent jump
label update, the module's __init section could be freed out from under
us.
We fix this potential race by adding a notifier callback to the
MODULE_STATE_LIVE state. This notifier is called *after* the __init
section has been run but before it is going to be freed. In the
callback, the jump label code zeros the key value for any __init jump
code within the module, and we add a check for a non-zero key value when
we update jump labels. In this way we require no additional data
structures.
Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for pointing out this race condition.

delay-accounting: reimplement -c for getdelays.c to report information on a target command
Task delay-accounting was identified as one means of determining how long
a process spends in congestion_wait() without adding new statistics. For
example, if the workload should not be doing IO, delay-accounting could
reveal how long it was spending in unexpected IO or delays.
Unfortunately, on closer examination it was clear that getdelays does not
act as documented.
Commit a3baf649 ("per-task-delay-accounting: documentation") added
Documentation/accounting/getdelays.c with a -c switch that was documented
to fork/exec a child and report statistics on it but for reasons that are
unclear to me, commit 9e06d3f9 deleted support for this switch but did not
update the documentation. It might be an oversight or it might be because
the control flow of the program meant that accounting information would be
printed once early in the lifetime of the program making it of limited
use.
This patch reimplements -c for getdelays.c to act as documented. Unlike
the original version, it waits until the command completes before printing
any information on it. An example of it being used looks like

rapidio: add relation links between RIO device structures

This set of RapidIO patches extends support for standard error recovery
mechanism and adds new IDT Gen2 sRIO switch devices - CPS-1848 and
CPS-1616. Implementation of the standard error-stopped state recovery
mechanism (as defined by the RapidIO specification) is required for the
new switches.
Version 2 of this set of patches addresses received comments and fixes an
error notification setup issue found in the idt_gen2.c after the first
version was released.
This patch:
Make RapidIO devices appear in /sys/devices/rapidio directory instead of
top of /sys/devices directory.

synclink_gt: fix per device locking
Fix a long standing bug with per device locking.
Each device has an associated spinlock for synchronizing access to
hardware and state information with the ISR. A single hardware card has
one or more devices.
Bug: Non ISR code correctly acquires and releases the per device lock.
ISR incorrectly always acquires and releases the lock of the first device
on the card.
The decoupled and list based nature of the ISR and deferred processing
interaction allowed this to work in normal operation. Exceptional events
like an application forcing hardware shutdown, reset, or reconfiguration
while active can trigger the bug.
Fixed ISR to acquire and release the per device lock.
One exception is manipulation of the GPIO card resource which is global
and effectively owned by the first device of the card. Non-ISR access to
GPIO resource is changed to use lock of first device on card.

ipc/shm.c: add RSS and swap size information to /proc/sysvipc/shm
The kernel currently provides no functionality to analyze the RSS and swap
space usage of each individual sysvipc shared memory segment.
This patch adds this info for each existing shm segment by extending the
output of /proc/sysvipc/shm by two columns for RSS and swap.
Since shmctl(SHM_INFO) already provides a similiar calculation (it
currently sums up all RSS/swap info for all segments), I did split out a
static function which is now used by the /proc/sysvipc/shm output and
shmctl(SHM_INFO).
SAP products (esp. the SAP Netweaver ABAP Kernel) uses lots of big shared
memory segments (we often have Linux systems with >= 16GB shm usage).
Sometimes we get customer reports about "slow" system responses and while
looking into their configurations we often find massive swapping activity
on the system. With this patch it's now easy to see from the command line
if and which shm segments gets swapped out (and how much) and can more
easily give recommendations for system tuning. Without the patch it's
currently not possible to do such shm analysis at all.
Also...
Add some spaces in front of the "size" field for 64bit kernels to get the
columns correct if you cat the contents of the file. In
sysvipc_shm_proc_show() the kernel prints the size value in "SPEC_SIZE"
format, which is defined like this:

In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each
irq's events on all cpus. But we can make use of kstat_irqs().
kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ,
it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.)
If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does
for_each_irq()
for_each_cpu()
- look up a radix tree
- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]
This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for
CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as
for_each_irq()
look up radix tree
for_each_cpu()
- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]
This reduces cost.

/proc/stat shows the total number of all interrupts to each cpu. But when
the number of IRQs are very large, it take very long time and 'cat

Exporting this count will help gdb to make a better decision on which

studying the memory usage of a process.
The userland ELF tools have been coping with partial-segments core files
for a few years now. Multiple distro builds are now setting this option.
It behooves everyone who ever deals with core files to have more info
dumped in there, especially as more and more people's compilers are
producing build IDs. Make it the default.

The root cause is core_pattern allows % specifiers, which need to be
replaced during parse time, but the replace may expand the strings to
larger than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. So if the last parameter is % specifiers,
the replace code is using snprintf(out_ptr, out_end - out_ptr, ...), this
will write out of corename array.
