core, x86: Add user return notifiers
Add a general per-cpu notifier that is called whenever the kernel is
about to return to userspace. The notifier uses a thread_info flag
and existing checks, so there is no impact on user return or context
switch fast paths.
This will be used initially to speed up KVM task switching by lazily
updating MSRs.

too late (ie at skb dequeueing time, not at skb queueing time)
When requesting all prl entries (kprl.addr == INADDR_ANY) and there are
more prl entries than there is space passed from userspace, the existing

cmpxchg() of 64bit values was available on X86_32.
That is not so - and causes some subtle scheduler misbehavior due
to incorrect timestamps off to up by ~4 seconds.
Two symptoms are known right now:
- interactivity problems seen by Arjan: up to 600 msecs
latencies instead of the expected 20-40 msecs. These
latencies are very visible on the desktop.
- incorrect CPU stats: occasionally too high percentages in 'top',
and crazy CPU usage stats.

intention of the code was to initialize .flags with both flags ored together.
The broken C code as actually implemented will be compiled by an equally

exact ("pty: prepare for tty->ops changes").
DavidH initially submitted a patch just removing the dead code entirely,
and since nobody has apparently ever complained, I'm not entirely sure
that wouldn't be the right thing to do. But since the whole and only
point of the legacy pty code is to be compatible with legacy distros
that don't use the new unix98 pty model, let's just wire it up again.
And clean it up a bit while we're at it.

ext4: Add a stub for mpage_da_data in the trace header
The tracepoint ext4_da_write_pages has a struct mpage_da_data*
parameter, but that struct is only defined in fs/ext4/ext4.h. This
patch adds a forward declaration for that struct, so this tracepoint
header can still be used by tools like SystemTap.
This is a continuation of the fix in commit 3661d286.
The /proc/fs/jbd2/<dev>/history was maintained manually; by using
tracepoints, we can get all of the existing functionality of the /proc
file plus extra capabilities thanks to the ftrace infrastructure. We
save memory as a bonus.
The /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_history was maintained manually, and had a
number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be
allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock
introduced a CPU contention problem.
By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace
tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event
filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4
tracepoints, etc.
ext4, jbd2: Drop unneeded printks at mount and unmount time
There are a number of kernel printk's which are printed when an ext4
filesystem is mounted and unmounted. Disable them to economize space
in the system logs. In addition, disabling the mballoc stats by
default saves a number of unneeded atomic operations for every block
allocation or deallocation.
ext4: Make sure ext4_dirty_inode() updates the inode in no journal mode
This patch a problem that ext4_dirty_inode() was not calling
ext4_mark_inode_dirty() if the current_handle is not valid, which it

It also removes a test for non-matching transaction which can never
happen.

ext4: Avoid updating the inode table bh twice in no journal mode
This is a cleanup of commit 91ac6f4. Since ext4_mark_inode_dirty()
has already called ext4_mark_iloc_dirty(), which in turn calls

call ext4_do_update_inode() in no journal mode. Indeed, it would be
duplicated work.
nilfs2: fix missing initialization of i_dir_start_lookup member
The i_dir_start_lookup field in nilfs_inode_info objects should be
cleared when the objects are allocated, but the the initialization was
missing in case of reading from disk. This adds the initialization.
Since the variable just gives a start page on directory lookups, the
bug was nonfatal until now.
nilfs2: fix missing zero-fill initialization of btree node cache
This will fix file system corruption which infrequently happens after
mount. The problem was reported from users with the title "[NILFS
users] Fail to mount NILFS." (Message-ID:
<200908211918.34720.yuri@itinteg.net>), and so forth. I've also
experienced the corruption multiple times on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.
The problem turned out to be caused due to discordance between
mapping->nrpages of a btree node cache and the actual number of pages
hung on the cache; if the mapping->nrpages becomes zero even as it has
pages, truncate_inode_pages() returns without doing anything. Usually
this is harmless except it may cause page leak, but garbage collection
fairly infrequently sees a stale page remained in the btree node cache
of DAT (i.e. disk address translation file of nilfs), and induces the
corruption.
I identified a missing initialization in btree node caches was the
root cause. This corrects the bug.

message will be disabled after certain times.
percpu: make pcpu_setup_first_chunk() failures more verbose
The parameters to pcpu_setup_first_chunk() come from different sources
depending on architecture and can be quite complex. The function runs
various sanity checks on the parameters and triggers BUG() if
something isn't right. However, this is very early during the boot
and not reporting exactly what the problem is makes debugging even
harder.
Add PCPU_SETUP_BUG() macro which prints out enough information about
the parameters. As the macro still puts separate BUG() for each
check, it won't lose any information even on the situations where only
the program counter can be retrieved.
While at it, also bump pcpu_dump_alloc_info() message to KERN_INFO so
that it's visible on the console if boot fails to complete.
percpu: make embedding first chunk allocator check vmalloc space size
Embedding first chunk allocator maintains the distances between units
in the vmalloc area and thus needs vmalloc space to be larger than the
maximum distances between units; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to
create any dynamic chunks. This patch makes the embedding first chunk
allocator check vmalloc space size and if the maximum distance between
units is larger than 75% of it, print warning and, if page mapping
allocator is available, fail initialization so that the system falls
back onto it.
This should work around percpu allocation failure problems on certain
sparc64 configurations where distances between NUMA nodes are larger
than the vmalloc area and makes percpu allocator more robust for
future configurations.
sparc64: implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator
Implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator as a fallback to
the embedding allocator. The next patch will make the embedding
allocator check distances between units to determine whether it fits
within the vmalloc area so that this fallback can be used on such
cases.
sparc64 currently has relatively small vmalloc area which makes it
impossible to create any dynamic chunks on certain configurations
leading to percpu allocation failures. This and the next patch should
allow those configurations to keep working until proper solution is
found.
While at it, mark pcpu_cpu_distance() with __init.

Since 2.6.29 the PCI PM core have been restoring the standard

this way since commit 355a72d75b3b4f4877db4c9070c798238028ecb5
(PCI: Rework default handling of suspend and resume). Unfortunately,
this leads to post-resume problems with CardBus devices which cannot
be accessed in the early phase of resume, because the sockets they
are on have not been woken up yet at that point.
To solve this problem, move the yenta socket resume to the early
phase of resume and, analogously, move the suspend of it to the late
phase of suspend. Additionally, remove some unnecessary PCI code
from the yenta socket's resume routine.

This moves the iwlagn event and error log handling back to iwl-agn.c to
make it part of iwlagn module.
Also remove the 3945 sysfs file that triggers dump of event log - there is
already a debugfs file that can do it for all drivers.

We keep track of where to write into a buffer by keeping a count of how
much has been written so far. When writing to the buffer we thus take the
buffer pointer and adding the count of what has been written so far.
Keeping track of what has been written so far is done by incrementing
this number every time something is written to the buffer with how much has
been written at that time.
Currently this number is incremented incorrectly when using the
"hex_dump_to_buffer" call to add data to the buffer. Fix this by only
adding what has been added to the buffer in that call instead of what has
been added since beginning of buffer.

cfg80211: don't set privacy w/o key
When wpa_supplicant is used to connect to open networks,

net: Add explicit bound checks in net/socket.c
The sys_socketcall() function has a very clever system for the copy
size of its arguments. Unfortunately, gcc cannot deal with this in
terms of proving that the copy_from_user() is then always in bounds.
This is the last (well 9th of this series, but last in the kernel) such
case around.
With this patch, we can turn on code to make having the boundary provably
right for the whole kernel, and detect introduction of new security

ext4: async direct IO for holes and fallocate support
For async direct IO that covers holes or fallocate, the end_io
callback function now queued the convertion work on workqueue but
don't flush the work rightaway as it might take too long to afford.
But when fsync is called after all the data is completed, user expects
the metadata also being updated before fsync returns.
Thus we need to flush the conversion work when fsync() is called.
This patch keep track of a listed of completed async direct io that
has a work queued on workqueue. When fsync() is called, it will go
through the list and do the conversion.

ext4: Use end_io callback to avoid direct I/O fallback to buffered I/O
Currently the DIO VFS code passes create = 0 when writing to the
middle of file. It does this to avoid block allocation for holes, so
as not to expose stale data out when there is a parallel buffered read
(which does not hold the i_mutex lock). Direct I/O writes into holes
falls back to buffered IO for this reason.
Since preallocated extents are treated as holes when doing a
get_block() look up (buffer is not mapped), direct IO over fallocate
also falls back to buffered IO. Thus ext4 actually silently falls
back to buffered IO in above two cases, which is undesirable.
To fix this, this patch creates unitialized extents when a direct I/O
write into holes in sparse files, and registering an end_io callback which
converts the uninitialized extent to an initialized extent after the
I/O is completed.

ext4: Split uninitialized extents for direct I/O
When writing into an unitialized extent via direct I/O, and the direct
I/O doesn't exactly cover the unitialized extent, split the extent
into uninitialized and initialized extents before submitting the I/O.
This avoids needing to deal with an ENOSPC error in the end_io

When the IO is complete, the written extent will be marked as initialized.

ext4: Adjust ext4_da_writepages() to write out larger contiguous chunks
Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in
larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small. This also works
around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate
more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin
characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many
blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to
another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable,
max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per
inode.

tty: make the kref destructor occur asynchronously
Due to tty release routines run in a workqueue now, error like the
following will be reported while booting:
INIT open /dev/console Input/output error
It also causes hibernation regression to appear as reported at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14229
The reason is that now there's latency issue with closing, but when
we open a "closing not finished" tty, -EIO will be returned.
Fix it as per the following Alan's suggestion:
Fun but it's actually not a bug and the fix is wrong in itself as
the port may be closing but not yet being destructed, in which case
it seems to do the wrong thing. Opening a tty that is closing (and
could be closing for long periods) is supposed to return -EIO.
I suspect a better way to deal with this and keep the old console
timing is to split tty->shutdown into two functions.
tty->shutdown() - called synchronously just before we dump the tty
onto the waitqueue for destruction
tty->cleanup() - called when the destructor runs.
We would then do the shutdown part which can occur in IRQ context
fine, before queueing the rest of the release (from tty->magic = 0
... the end) to occur asynchronously
The USB update in -next would then need a call like
if (tty->cleanup)
tty->cleanup(tty);
at the top of the async function and the USB shutdown to be split
between shutdown and cleanup as the USB resource cleanup and final
tidy cannot occur synchronously as it needs to sleep.
In other words the logic becomes
final kref put
make object unfindable
async
clean it up
