perf: Make the trace events sample period default to 1
Trace events are mostly used for tracing and then require not to
be lost when possible. As opposite to hardware events that really
require to trigger after a given sample period, trace events mostly
need to trigger everytime.
It is a frustrating experience to trace with perf and realize we
lost a lot of events because we forgot the "-c 1" option.
Then default sample_period to 1 for trace events but let the user
override it.

requires to check the field type and seek the "__data_loc"

perf: Make clock software events consistent with general exclusion rules
The cpu/task clock events implement their own version of exclusion
on top of exclude_user and exclude_kernel.
The result is that when the event triggered in the kernel but we
have exclude_kernel set, we try to rewind using task_pt_regs.
There are two side effects of this:
- we call task_pt_regs even on kernel threads, which doesn't give
us the desired result.
- if the event occured in the kernel, we shouldn't rewind to the
user context. We want to actually ignore the event.
get_irq_regs() will always give us the right interrupted context, so
use its result and submit it to perf_exclude_context() that knows
when an event must be ignored.

Each time a software event triggers, we need to walk through
the entire list of events from the current cpu and task contexts
to retrieve a running perf event that matches.
We also need to check a matching perf event is actually counting.
This walk is wasteful and makes the event fast path scaling
down with a growing number of events running on the same
contexts.
To solve this, we store the running perf events in a hashlist to
get an immediate access to them against their type:event_id when
they trigger.
v2: - Fix SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE definition (and re-learn some basic
maths along the way)
- Only allocate hlist for online cpus, but keep track of the
refcount on offline possible cpus too, so that we allocate it
if needed when it becomes online.
- Drop the kref use as it's not adapted to our tricks anymore.
v3: - Fix bad refcount check (address instead of value). Thanks to
Eric Dumazet who spotted this.
- While exiting cpu, move the hlist release out of the IPI path
to lock the hlist mutex sanely.

In terms of usability, it's not that bad, but it does require
the user to type and remember more than necessary.
This patch allows the user to accomplish the same thing without
specifying the separate record/report steps or the pipe. So the
same command as above can be accomplished more simply as:
$ perf trace rwtop 5
Notice that the '-i -' and '-o -' aren't required in this case -
they're added internally, and that any extra arguments are
passed along to the report script (but not to the record
script).
The overall effect is that any of the scripts listed in 'perf
trace -l' can now be used directly in live mode, with the
expected arguments, by simply specifying the script and args to
'perf trace'.

the current results are displayed, the aggregations are cleared

perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce OPT_INCR()
Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.
This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).
I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

mb862xxfb: fix acceleration module license
mb862xxfb_accel built as a separate module, but it does not have a
MODULE_LICENSE, so it taints the kernel. Add a MODULE_LICENSE to it (same
as mb862xxfb license).
Shaohua Li reported his tmpfs streaming I/O test can lead to make oom.
The test uses a 6G tmpfs in a system with 3G memory. In the tmpfs, there
are 6 copies of kernel source and the test does kbuild for each copy. His
investigation shows the test has a lot of rotated anon pages and quite few
file pages, so get_scan_ratio calculates percent[0] (i.e. scanning
percent for anon) to be zero. Actually the percent[0] shoule be a big
value, but our calculation round it to zero.
Although before commit 84b18490 ("vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup") , we
have the same problem too. But the old logic can rescue percent[0]==0
case only when priority==0. It had hided the real issue. I didn't think
merely streaming io can makes percent[0]==0 && priority==0 situation. but
I was wrong.
So, definitely we have to fix such tmpfs streaming io issue. but anyway I
revert the regression commit at first.

devmem: handle class_create() failure
I hit this when we had a bug in IDR for a few days. Basically sysfs would
fail to create new inodes since it uses an IDR and therefore class_create
would fail.
While we are unlikely to see this fail we may as well handle it instead of
oopsing.

a failure.The failure is seen if the card is removed from the cage when TC
is pending after a CMD with data received CC.The reset logic leaves the
controller in a state where niether a TC is received nor DTO.
The rest code can be safely removed here since it is taken care in the IRQ

Some BIOSes don't configure HPA during boot but do so while resuming.
This causes harddrives to shrink during resume making libata detach
and reattach them. This can be worked around by unlocking HPA if old
size equals native size.
Add ATA_DFLAG_UNLOCK_HPA so that HPA unlocking can be controlled
per-device and update ata_dev_revalidate() such that it sets
ATA_DFLAG_UNLOCK_HPA and fails with -EIO when the above condition is
detected.
Thank you for contacting us. We know that with our M225 line of SSDs
you sometimes need to disable NCQ (native command queuing) to avoid
just the type of errors you're seeing. Our recommendation for the
M225 is to add libata.force=noncq to your Linux kernel boot options,
under the kernel ATA library option.
I have sent your feedback to the engineers working on the C300, and
asked them to please pass it on to the firmware team. I have been
notified that they are in the process of testing and finalizing a
new firmware version, that you can expect to see released around the
end of April. We’ll keep you posted as to when it will be available
for download.
So, turn off NCQ on the drive w/ the current firmware revision.

Fix up possibly racy module refcounting
Module refcounting is implemented with a per-cpu counter for speed.
However there is a race when tallying the counter where a reference may
be taken by one CPU and released by another. Reference count summation
may then see the decrement without having seen the previous increment,
leading to lower than expected count. A module which never has its
actual reference drop below 1 may return a reference count of 0 due to
this race.
Module removal generally runs under stop_machine, which prevents this
race causing bugs due to removal of in-use modules. However there are
other real bugs in module.c code and driver code (module_refcount is
exported) where the callers do not run under stop_machine.
Fix this by maintaining running per-cpu counters for the number of
module refcount increments and the number of refcount decrements. The
increments are tallied after the decrements, so any decrement seen will
always have its corresponding increment counted. The final refcount is
the difference of the total increments and decrements, preventing a
low-refcount from being returned.

davinci: edma: clear events in edma_start()
This patch fixes an issue where a DMA channel can erroneously process an
event generated by a previous transfer. A failure case is where DMA is
being used for SPI transmit and receive channels on OMAP L138. In this
case there is a single bit that controls all event generation from the
SPI peripheral. Therefore it is possible that between when edma_stop()
has been called for the transmit channel on a previous transfer and
edma_start() is called for the transmit channel on a subsequent transfer,
that a transmit event has been generated.
The fix is to clear events in edma_start(). This prevents false events
from being processed when events are enabled for that channel.
