The RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR costs almost nothing and has located
some bugs that might otherwise have been difficult to track
down. Make it be default for the TREE RCU implementations.
The vmlinux size impact is limited (on 64-bit x86 defconfig):
text data bss dec hex filename
8440248 1260076 995588 10695912 a334e8 vmlinux.before
8440774 1260060 995588 10696422 a336e6 vmlinux.after
+526 bytes - acceptable default cost.
For RAM starved systems, TINY_RCU does not support CPU-stall detection
and is much smaller, but then again it is a uniprocessor...

__fscache_write_page() attempts to load the radix tree preallocation pool for
the CPU it is on before calling radix_tree_insert(), as the insertion must be
done inside a pair of spinlocks.
Use of the preallocation pool, however, is contingent on the radix tree being
initialised without __GFP_WAIT specified. __fscache_acquire_cookie() was
passing GFP_NOFS to INIT_RADIX_TREE() - but that includes __GFP_WAIT.
The solution is to AND out __GFP_WAIT.
Additionally, the banner comment to radix_tree_preload() is altered to make
note of this prerequisite. Possibly there should be a WARN_ON() too.
Without this fix, I have seen the following recursive deadlock caused by
radix_tree_insert() attempting to allocate memory inside the spinlocked
region, which resulted in FS-Cache being called back into to release memory -
which required the spinlock already held.

Doing the strcmp return value as
signed char __res = *cs - *ct;
is wrong for two reasons. The subtraction can overflow because __res
doesn't use a type big enough. Moreover the compared bytes should be
interpreted as unsigned char as specified by POSIX.
The same problem is fixed in strncmp.

Now that the sys_sysctl is now a compatibility wrapper around
/proc/sys we can remove much of sysctl_check and reduce it
to a few remaining sanity checks. This completely decouples
it from the binary sysctl system call.
Little things like ensuring that the sysctl has not already
been registered are all that remain.

If HW IOMMU initialization fails (Intel VT-d often does this,
typically due to BIOS bugs), we fall back to nommu. It doesn't
work for the majority since nowadays we have more than 4GB
memory so we must use swiotlb instead of nommu.
The problem is that it's too late to initialize swiotlb when HW
IOMMU initialization fails. We need to allocate swiotlb memory
earlier from bootmem allocator. Chris explained the issue in
detail:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125657444317079&w=2
The current x86 IOMMU initialization sequence is too complicated
and handling the above issue makes it more hacky.
This patch changes x86 IOMMU initialization sequence to handle
the above issue cleanly.
The new x86 IOMMU initialization sequence are:
1. we initialize the swiotlb (and setting swiotlb to 1) in the case
of (max_pfn > MAX_DMA32_PFN && !no_iommu). dma_ops is set to
swiotlb_dma_ops or nommu_dma_ops. if swiotlb usage is forced by
the boot option, we finish here.
2. we call the detection functions of all the IOMMUs
3. the detection function sets x86_init.iommu.iommu_init to the
IOMMU initialization function (so we can avoid calling the
initialization functions of all the IOMMUs needlessly).
4. if the IOMMU initialization function doesn't need to swiotlb
then sets swiotlb to zero (e.g. the initialization is
sucessful).
5. if we find that swiotlb is set to zero, we free swiotlb
resource.

This enables us to avoid printing swiotlb memory info when we
initialize swiotlb. After swiotlb initialization, we could find
that we don't need swiotlb.
This patch removes the code to print swiotlb memory info in
swiotlb_init() and exports the function to do that.

swiotlb_free() function frees all allocated memory for swiotlb.
We need to initialize swiotlb before IOMMU initialization (x86
and powerpc needs to allocate memory from bootmem allocator). If
IOMMU initialization is successful, we need to free swiotlb
resource (don't want to waste 64MB).

Today I got:

[40676.545099] __ratelimit: 246 callbacks suppressed
[40676.545103] abcdef[23675]: segfault at 0 ...
as you can see the ratelimit message contains a function prefix.
Since this is always __ratelimit, this wont help much.
This patch changes __ratelimit and printk_ratelimit to print the
function name that calls ratelimit.
This will pinpoint the responsible function, as long as not several
different places call ratelimit with the same ratelimit state at
the same time. In that case we catch only one random function that
calls ratelimit after the wait period.

When using %*s, sscanf should honor conversion specifiers immediately
following the %*s. For example, the following code should find the
position of the end of the string "hello".
int end;
char buf[] = "hello world";
sscanf(buf, "%*s%n", &end);
printf("%d\n", end);
Ideally, sscanf would advance the fmt and str pointers the same as it
would without the *, but the code for that is rather complicated and is
not included in the patch.

Currently we are calling the bkl tracepoint callbacks just before the
bkl lock/unlock operations, ie the tracepoint call is not inside a
lock_kernel() function but inside a lock_kernel() macro. Hence the
bkl trace event header must be included from smp_lock.h. This raises
some nasty circular header dependencies:
linux/smp_lock.h -> trace/events/bkl.h -> trace/define_trace.h
-> trace/ftrace.h -> linux/ftrace_event.h -> linux/hardirq.h
-> linux/smp_lock.h
This results in incomplete event declarations, spurious event
definitions and other kind of funny behaviours.
This is hardly fixable without ugly workarounds. So instead, we push
the file name, line number and function name as lock_kernel()
parameters, so that we only deal with the trace event header from
lib/kernel_lock.c
This adds two parameters to lock_kernel() and unlock_kernel() but
it should be fine wrt to performances because this pair dos not seem
to be called in fast paths.

If the lzma/gzip decompressors are called with insufficient input data
(len > 0 & fill = NULL), they will attempt to call the fill function to

Add two events lock_kernel and unlock_kernel() to trace the bkl uses.
This opens the door for userspace tools to perform statistics about
the callsites that use it, dependencies with other locks (by pairing
the trace with lock events), use with recursivity and so on...
The {__reacquire,release}_kernel_lock() events are not traced because
these are called from schedule, thus the sched events are sufficient
to trace them.
Example of a trace:
hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 165.875501: unlock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1358 __blkdev_put()
hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 167.832974: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1167 __blkdev_get()
How to get the callsites that acquire it recursively:
cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl
echo "lock_depth > 0" > filter
firefox-4951 [001] 206.276967: unlock_kernel: depth: 1, fs/reiserfs/super.c:575 reiserfs_dirty_inode()
You can also filter by file and/or line.
v2: Use of FILTER_PTR_STRING attribute for files and lines fields to
make them traceable.

Decouple kernel.h from ratelimit.h: the global declaration of
printk's ratelimit_state is not needed, and it leads to messy
circular dependencies due to ratelimit.h's (new) adding of a
spinlock_types.h include.

FLEX_ARRAY_INIT(element_size, total_nr_elements) cannot determine if
either parameter is valid, so flex arrays which are statically allocated
with this interface can easily become corrupted or reference beyond its
allocated memory.
This removes FLEX_ARRAY_INIT() as a struct flex_array initializer since no
initializer may perform the required checking. Instead, the array is now
defined with a new interface:
DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY(name, element_size, total_nr_elements)
This may be prefixed with `static' for file scope.
This interface includes compile-time checking of the parameters to ensure
they are valid. Since the validity of both element_size and
total_nr_elements depend on FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_SIZE and FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE,
the kernel build will fail if either of these predefined values changes
such that the array parameters are no longer valid.
Since BUILD_BUG_ON() requires compile time constants, several of the
static inline functions that were once local to lib/flex_array.c had to be
moved to include/linux/flex_array.h.

Add a new function to the flex_array API:
int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *fa)
This function will free all unused second-level pages. Since elements are
now poisoned if they are not allocated with __GFP_ZERO, it's possible to
identify parts that consist solely of unused elements.
flex_array_shrink() returns the number of pages freed.

Newly initialized flex_array's and/or flex_array_part's are now poisoned
with a new poison value, FLEX_ARRAY_FREE. It's value is similar to
POISON_FREE used in the various slab allocators, but is different to
distinguish between flex array's poisoned kmem and slab allocator poisoned
kmem.
This will allow us to identify flex_array_part's that only contain free
elements (and free them with an addition to the flex_array API). This
could also be extended in the future to identify `get' uses on elements
that have not been `put'.
If __GFP_ZERO is passed for a part's gfp mask, the poisoning is avoided.
These elements are considered to be in-use since they have been
initialized.

Add a new function to the flex_array API:
int flex_array_clear(struct flex_array *fa,
unsigned int element_nr)
This function will zero the element at element_nr in the flex_array.
Although this is equivalent to using flex_array_put() and passing a
pointer to zero'd memory, flex_array_clear() does not require such a
pointer to memory that would most likely need to be allocated on the
caller's stack which could be significantly large depending on
element_size.

I'd like to use printk_ratelimit() in NMI context, but it's not
robust right now due to spinlock usage in lib/ratelimit.c. If an
NMI is unlucky enough to hit just that spot we might lock up trying
to take the spinlock again.
Fix that by using a trylock variant. If we contend on that lock we
can genuinely skip the message because the state is just being
accessed by another CPU (or by this CPU).
( We could use atomics for the suppressed messages field, but
i doubt it matters in practice and it makes the code heavier. )

I'd like to use printk_ratelimit() in atomic context, but that's
not possible right now due to the spinlock usage this commit
introduced more than a year ago:
717115e: printk ratelimiting rewrite
As a first step push the lock into the ratelimit state structure.
This allows us to deal with locking failures to be considered as an
event related to that state being too busy.
Also clean up the code a bit (without changing functionality):
- tidy up the definitions
- clean up the code flow
This also shrinks the code a tiny bit:
text data bss dec hex filename
264 0 4 268 10c ratelimit.o.before
255 0 0 255 ff ratelimit.o.after
( Whole-kernel data size got a bit larger, because we have
two ratelimit-state data structures right now. )
