Function-scope statics are discouraged because they are
easily overlooked and can cause subtle bugs/races due to
their global (non-SMP safe) nature.
Linus noticed that we did this for sched_param - at minimum
make the const.

One of the operands, buf, is incorrect, since it is stripped and the
correct address for subsequent string comparing could change if
leading white spaces, if any, are removed from buf.
It is fixed by replacing buf with cmp.

root_task_group is the leftover of USER_SCHED, now it's always
same to init_task_group.
But as Mike suggested, root_task_group is maybe the suitable name
to keep for a tree.
So in this patch:
init_task_group --> root_task_group
init_task_group_load --> root_task_group_load
INIT_TASK_GROUP_LOAD --> ROOT_TASK_GROUP_LOAD

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.
Patched with:
git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.

dcache_lock no longer protects anything. remove it.

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).
Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is
provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.

Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a
0 refcount dentry remains 0 without dcache_lock. It is also fairly natural when
we start protecting many other dentry members with d_lock.
Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
anyway.
This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
much simpler.

Switching d_op on a live dentry is racy in general, so avoid it. In this case
it is a negative dentry, which is safer, but there are still concurrent ops
which may be called on d_op in that case (eg. d_revalidate). So in general
a filesystem may not do this. Fix cgroupfs so as not to do this.

wait_for_completion_*_timeout() can return:
0: if the wait timed out
-ve: if the wait was interrupted
+ve: if the completion was completed.
As they currently return an 'unsigned long', the last two cases
are not easily distinguished which can easily result in buggy
code, as is the case for the recently added
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() call in
net/sunrpc/cache.c
So change them both to return 'long'. As MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT
is LONG_MAX, a large +ve return value should never overflow.

Add these new power trace events:
power:cpu_idle
power:cpu_frequency
power:machine_suspend
The old C-state/idle accounting events:
power:power_start
power:power_end
Have now a replacement (but we are still keeping the old
tracepoints for compatibility):
power:cpu_idle
and
power:power_frequency
is replaced with:
power:cpu_frequency
power:machine_suspend is newly introduced.
Jean Pihet has a patch integrated into the generic layer
(kernel/power/suspend.c) which will make use of it.
the type= field got removed from both, it was never
used and the type is differed by the event type itself.
perf timechart userspace tool gets adjusted in a separate patch.

Fix two related problems in the event-copying loop of
ring_buffer_read_page.
The loop condition for copying events is off-by-one.
"len" is the remaining space in the caller-supplied page.
"size" is the size of the next event (or two events).
If len == size, then there is just enough space for the next event.
size was set to rb_event_ts_length, which may include the size of two
events if the first event is a time-extend, in order to assure time-
extends are kept together with the event after it. However,
rb_advance_reader always advances by one event. This would result in the
event after any time-extend being duplicated. Instead, get the size of
a single event for the memcpy, but use rb_event_ts_length for the loop
condition.

x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules

ftrace faulted on writing [<ffffffffa00026db>]
__process_new_adapter+0x7/0x34 [i2c_core]
The cause was that the module text was set to read only before ftrace
could convert the calls to mcount to nops. Thus, the conversions failed
due to not being able to write to the text locations.
The simple fix is to move setting the module to read only after the
module notifiers are called (where ftrace sets the module mcounts to nops).

The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the
layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4
bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned. This causes
the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like
ia64. Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the
NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will
always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload. Aligning the
start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't
want. So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that
require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those
packages. Space is reserved in the packet only when needed. This ifdef
should be removed in several years e.g. 2012 once we can be confident
that fixed versions are installed on most systems. We add the padding
before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type.
Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems")
previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field.
This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances
described above mean that it wasn't. This patch backs out that change,
since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide
the padding. Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an
aligned taskstats structure and copying it back. Since the structure
weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

Russell King reports:
| On the ARM dev boards, we have a 32-bit counter running at 24MHz. Calling
| clocks_calc_mult_shift(&mult, &shift, 24MHz, NSEC_PER_SEC, 60) gives
| us a multiplier of 2796202666 and a shift of 26.
|
| Over a large counter delta, this produces an error - lets take a count
| from 362976315 to 4280663372:
|
| (4280663372-362976315) * 2796202666 / 2^26 - (4280663372-362976315) * (1000/24)
| => -38.91872422891230269990
|
| Can we do better?
|
| (4280663372-362976315) * 2796202667 / 2^26 - (4280663372-362976315) * (1000/24)
| 19.45936211449532822051
|
| which is about twice as good as the 2796202666 multiplier.
|
| Looking at the equivalent divisions obtained, 2796202666 / 2^26 gives
| 41.66666665673255920410ns per tick, whereas 2796202667 / 2^26 gives
| 41.66666667163372039794ns. The actual value wanted is 1000/24 =
| 41.66666666666666666666ns.
Fix this by ensuring we round to nearest when calculating the
multiplier.

spinlock in kthread_worker and wait_queue_head in kthread_work both
should be lockdep sensible, so change the interface to make it
suiltable for CONFIG_LOCKDEP.
