Allow cpu wide counters to profile userspace by providing what process

This raises the first issue with the output type, lots of these

However, things like the mmap() data stream doesn't fit in that.

perf_counter tools: remove glib dependency and fix bugs in kerneltop.c
The glib dependency in kerneltop.c is only for a little bit of list
manipulation, and I find it inconvenient. This adds a 'next' field to
struct source_line, which lets us link them together into a list. The
code to do the linking ourselves turns out to be no longer or more
difficult than using glib.
This also fixes a few other problems:
- We need to #include <limits.h> to get PATH_MAX on powerpc.
- We need to #include <linux/types.h> rather than have our own
definitions of __u64 and __s64; on powerpc the installed headers
define them to be unsigned long and long respectively, and if we
have our own, different definition here that causes a compile error.
- This takes out the x86 setting of errno from -ret in
sys_perf_counter_open. My experiments on x86 indicate that the
glibc syscall() does this for us already.
- We had two CPU migration counters in the default set, which seems
unnecessary; I changed one of them to a context switch counter.
- In perfstat mode we were printing CPU cycles and instructions as
milliseconds, and the cpu clock and task clock counters as events.
This fixes that.
- In perfstat mode we were still printing a blank line after the first
counter, which was a holdover from when a task clock counter was
automatically included as the first counter. This removes the blank
line.
- On a test machine here, parse_symbols() and parse_vmlinux() were
taking long enough (almost 0.5 seconds) for the mmap buffer to
overflow before we got to the first mmap_read() call, so this moves
them before we open all the counters.
- The error message if sys_perf_counter_open fails needs to use errno,
not -fd[i][counter].

perf_counter: new output ABI - part 1
Impact: Rework the perfcounter output ABI
use sys_read() only for instant data and provide mmap() output for all
async overflow data.
The first mmap() determines the size of the output buffer. The mmap()
size must be a PAGE_SIZE multiple of 1+pages, where pages must be a
power of 2 or 0. Further mmap()s of the same fd must have the same
size. Once all maps are gone, you can again mmap() with a new size.
In case of 0 extra pages there is no data output and the first page
only contains meta data.
When there are data pages, a poll() event will be generated for each
full page of data. Furthermore, the output is circular. This means
that although 1 page is a valid configuration, its useless, since
we'll start overwriting it the instant we report a full page.
Future work will focus on the output format (currently maintained)
where we'll likey want each entry denoted by a header which includes a
type and length.
Further future work will allow to splice() the fd, also containing the
async overflow data -- splice() would be mutually exclusive with
mmap() of the data.

perf_counter: add an mmap method to allow userspace to read hardware counters
Impact: new feature giving performance improvement
This adds the ability for userspace to do an mmap on a hardware counter
fd and get access to a read-only page that contains the information
needed to translate a hardware counter value to the full 64-bit
counter value that would be returned by a read on the fd. This is
useful on architectures that allow user programs to read the hardware
counters, such as PowerPC.
The mmap will only succeed if the counter is a hardware counter
monitoring the current process.
On my quad 2.5GHz PowerPC 970MP machine, userspace can read a counter
and translate it to the full 64-bit value in about 30ns using the
mmapped page, compared to about 830ns for the read syscall on the
counter, so this does give a significant performance improvement.

perf_counter: fix type/event_id layout on big-endian systems
Impact: build fix for powerpc
Commit db3a944aca35ae61 ("perf_counter: revamp syscall input ABI")
expanded the hw_event.type field into a union of structs containing
bitfields. In particular it introduced a type field and a raw_type
field, with the intention that the 1-bit raw_type field should
overlay the most-significant bit of the 8-bit type field, and in fact
perf_counter_alloc() now assumes that (or at least, assumes that
raw_type doesn't overlay any of the bits that are 1 in the values of
PERF_TYPE_{HARDWARE,SOFTWARE,TRACEPOINT}).
Unfortunately this is not true on big-endian systems such as PowerPC,
where bitfields are laid out from left to right, i.e. from most
significant bit to least significant. This means that setting
hw_event.type = PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE will set hw_event.raw_type to 1.
This fixes it by making the layout depend on whether or not
__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD is defined. It's a bit ugly, but that's what
we get for using bitfields in a user/kernel ABI.
Also, that commit didn't fix up some places in arch/powerpc/kernel/
perf_counter.c where hw_event.raw and hw_event.event_id were used.
This fixes them too.

perf_counter: abstract wakeup flag setting in core to fix powerpc build
Impact: build fix for powerpc
Commit bd753921015e7905 ("perf_counter: software counter event
infrastructure") introduced a use of TIF_PERF_COUNTERS into the core
perfcounter code. This breaks the build on powerpc because we use
a flag in a per-cpu area to signal wakeups on powerpc rather than
a thread_info flag, because the thread_info flags have to be
manipulated with atomic operations and are thus slower than per-cpu
flags.
This fixes the by changing the core to use an abstracted
set_perf_counter_pending() function, which is defined on x86 to set
the TIF_PERF_COUNTERS flag and on powerpc to set the per-cpu flag
(paca->perf_counter_pending). It changes the previous powerpc
definition of set_perf_counter_pending to not take an argument and
adds a clear_perf_counter_pending, so as to simplify the definition
on x86.
On x86, set_perf_counter_pending() is defined as a macro. Defining
it as a static inline in arch/x86/include/asm/perf_counters.h causes
compile failures because <asm/perf_counters.h> gets included early in
<linux/sched.h>, and the definitions of set_tsk_thread_flag etc. are
therefore not available in <asm/perf_counters.h>. (On powerpc this
problem is avoided by defining set_perf_counter_pending etc. in
<asm/hw_irq.h>.)

audit: Fix possible return value truncation in audit_get_context()
The audit subsystem treats syscall return codes as type long, unfortunately
the audit_get_context() function mistakenly converts the return code to an
int type in the parameters which could cause problems on systems where the
sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).

audit: ignore terminating NUL in AUDIT_USER_TTY messages
AUDIT_USER_TTY, like all other messages sent from user-space, is sent
NUL-terminated. Unlike other user-space audit messages, which come only
from trusted sources, AUDIT_USER_TTY messages are processed using
audit_log_n_untrustedstring().
This patch modifies AUDIT_USER_TTY handling to ignore the trailing NUL
and use the "quoted_string" representation of the message if possible.

Audit: fix handling of 'strings' with NULL characters
currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control()
to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an
embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has
no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string
with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL.
audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual
audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory
is after the NULL.
Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data
to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it)
we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is
certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using
audit_log_untrustedstring.

audit: EXECVE record - removed bogus newline
(updated)
Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same.
EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts
"\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're
there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round
them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when
creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in
an audit record.

ACPI: support acpi_device_ops .notify methods
This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods. If
such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device
notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check,
Device Check, etc). When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI
passes it on to the driver's .notify() method.
In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own
handlers for device-specific notifications.
For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's
no notification value because there's no control method to execute a
Notify opcode. When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we
handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send
a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value. This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff
range used by Notify opcodes.
Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and
Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug. This patch
doesn't affect that usage.
