This patch replaces the current oprofile cpu buffer implementation
with the ring buffer provided by the tracing framework. The motivation
here is to leave the pain of implementing ring buffers to others. Oh,
no, there are more advantages. Main reason is the support of different
sample sizes that could be stored in the buffer. Use cases for this
are IBS and Cell spu profiling. Using the new ring buffer ensures
valid and complete samples and allows copying the cpu buffer stateless
without knowing its content. Second it will use generic kernel API and
also reduce code size. And hopefully, there are less bugs.
Since the new tracing ring buffer implementation uses spin locks to
protect the buffer during read/write access, it is difficult to use
the buffer in an NMI handler. In this case, writing to the buffer by
the NMI handler (x86) could occur also during critical sections when
reading the buffer. To avoid this, there are 2 buffers for independent
read and write access. Read access is in process context only, write
access only in the NMI handler. If the read buffer runs empty, both
buffers are swapped atomically. There is potentially a small window
during swapping where the buffers are disabled and samples could be
lost.
Using 2 buffers is a little bit overhead, but the solution is clear
and does not require changes in the ring buffer implementation. It can
be changed to a single buffer solution when the ring buffer access is
implemented as non-locking atomic code.
The new buffer requires more size to store the same amount of samples
because each sample includes an u32 header. Also, there is more code
to execute for buffer access. Nonetheless, the buffer implementation
is proven in the ftrace environment and worth to use also in oprofile.
Patches that changes the internal IBS buffer usage will follow.

Fix module removal bugs of i82875p_edac. Also i82975x_edac code seems to
have the same module removal bugs as in i82875p_edac.
The problems were:
1. In module removal i82875p_remove_one() is never called.
Variable i82875p_registered is newer changed from 1, which
guarantees i82875p_remove_one() is not called (and even if it were
called, it would be called in wrong order).
As a result, the edac_mc workque is not stopped and keeps probing.
If kernel debugging options are not enabled, user may not notice
anything going wrong.
if debugging options are enabled and I do "rmmod i82875p_edac", I
get:
edac debug: edac_pci_workq_function() checking
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f882d16f
...
call trace:

[<c0204587>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
Fix for this is to get rid of needles variable i82875p_registered
altogether and run i82875p_remove_one() *before*
pci_unregister_driver().
2. edac_mc_del_mc() uses mci after freeing mci
edac_mc_del_mc() calls calls edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). The
kobject refcount of mci drops to 0 and mci is freed. After this
mci is accessed via debug print and i82875p_remove_one() still
uses mci->pvt and tries to free mci again with edac_mc_free().
The fix for this is add kobject_get(&mci->edac_mci_kobj) after
edac_mc_alloc(). Then the mci is still available after returning
from edac_mc_del_mc() with refcount 1, and mci->pvt is still
available. When i82875p_remove_one() finally calls edac_mc_free(),
this will cause kobject_put() and mci is released properly.

When I do "modprobe i82875p_edac" on my Asus P4C800 MB on kernels 2.6.26
or later, the module load fails due to BAR 0 collision. On 2.6.25 the
module loads just fine.
The overflow device on the MB seems to be hidden and its resources are not
allocated at normal PCI bus init. Log shows the missing resource problem:
EDAC DEBUG: i82875p_probe1()

The commit aef7db4bd5 fixed the problem with
recursive locking in fb blanking code if blank is caused by user setting
the /sys/class/graphics/fb*/blank. However this broke the fbcon timeout
blanking.
If you use a driver that defines ->fb_blank operation and at the same time
that driver relies on other driver (e.g. backlight or lcd class) to blank
the screen, when the fbcon times out and tries to blank the fb, it will
call only fb driver blanker and won't notify the other driver. Thus FB
output is disabled, but the screen isn't blanked.
Restore fbcon blanking and at the same time apply the proper fix for the
above problem: if fbcon_blank is called with FBINFO_FLAG_USEREVENT, we are
already called through notification from fb_blank, thus we don't have to
blank the fb again.

It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:
max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user
max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user
The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.
This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug.
While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free
page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem.
(Because freeing bootmem requires special care.)
Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated
by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true.
But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update
page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup. (This
was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.)
And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section".
So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble. (freeing
used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL.
One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it
sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule. So, page_cgroup's callback never
be called. (low priority than slub now.)
I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it.
Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation:
- free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem
and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.

Jim Radford has reported that the vmap subsystem rewrite was sometimes
causing his VIVT ARM system to behave strangely (seemed like going into
infinite loops trying to fault in pages to userspace).
We determined that the problem was most likely due to a cache aliasing
issue. flush_cache_vunmap was only being called at the moment the page
tables were to be taken down, however with lazy unmapping, this can happen
after the page has subsequently been freed and allocated for something
else. The dangling alias may still have dirty data attached to it.
The fix for this problem is to do the cache flushing when the caller has
called vunmap -- it would be a bug for them to write anything else to the
mapping at that point.
That appeared to solve Jim's problems.
