559fdc3c1b perf_event: Optimize perf_output_lock()
The purpose of perf_output_{un,}lock() is to:

 1) avoid publishing incomplete data
    [ possible when publishing a head that is ahead of an entry
      that is still being written ]

 2) guarantee fwd progress
    [ a simple refcount on pending writers doesn't need to drop to
      0, making it so would end up implementing something like forced
      quiecent states of RCU ]

To satisfy the above without undue complexity it serializes
between CPUs, this means that a pending writer can only be the
same cpu in a nested context, and since (under normal operation)
a cpu always makes progress we're good -- if the head is only
published when the bottom  most writer completes.

Now we don't need to disable IRQs in order to serialize between
CPUs, disabling preemption ought to be sufficient, esp since we
already deal with nesting due to NMIs.

This avoids potentially expensive (and needless) local IRQ
disable/enable ops.

67178767b9 tracing: Rename 'lockdep' event subsystem into 'lock'
Lockdep events subsystem gathers various locking related events
such as a request, release, contention or acquisition of a lock.

The name of this event subsystem is a bit of a misnomer since
these events are not quite related to lockdep but more generally
to locking, ie: these events are not reporting lock dependencies
or possible deadlock scenario but pure locking events.

Hence this rename.

f5c15d0b37 fb: remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations
Remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations from frame buffer layer.
They are used only in two drivers:
1. savagefb  - and cause bug 
2. uvesafb

Usage of these operations is misunderstood in both drivers so kill these
operations, fix the bug  and avoid confusion in the future.

Tested on Savage 3D/MV card and the patch fixes the bug .

The frame buffer layer uses these funtions during switch between graphics
and text mode of the console, but these drivers saves state before
switching of the frame buffer (in the fb_open) and after releasing it (in
the fb_release).  This defeats the purpose of these operations.

fe8bc91c4c ext3: Wait for proper transaction commit on fsync
We cannot rely on buffer dirty bits during fsync because pdflush can come
before fsync is called and clear dirty bits without forcing a transaction
commit. What we do is that we track which transaction has last changed
the inode and which transaction last changed allocation and force it to
disk on fsync.

f9dd09c7f7 netfilter: nf_nat: fix NAT issue in 2.6.30.4+
Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e36).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.

The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

9905d1b411 PM / yenta: Split resume into early and late parts (rev. 4)
Commit 0c570cdeb8
(PM / yenta: Fix cardbus suspend/resume regression) caused resume to
fail on systems with two CardBus bridges.  While the exact nature
of the failure is not known at the moment, it can be worked around by
splitting the yenta resume into an early part, executed during the
early phase of resume, that will only resume the socket and power it
up if there was a card in it during suspend, and a late part,
executed during "regular" resume, that will carry out all of the
remaining yenta resume operations.

Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14334, which is a
listed regression from 2.6.31.

3e2796a90c 9p: fix readdir corner cases
The patch below also addresses a couple of other corner cases in readdir
seen with a large (e.g. 64k) msize.  I'm not sure what people think of
my co-opting of fid->aux here.  I'd be happy to rework if there's a better
way.

When the size of the user supplied buffer passed to readdir is smaller
than the data returned in one go by the 9P read request, v9fs_dir_readdir()
currently discards extra data so that, on the next call, a 9P read
request will be issued with offset < previous offset + bytes returned,
which voilates the constraint described in paragraph 3 of read(5) description.
This patch preseves the leftover data in fid->aux for use in the next call.

65afac7d80 param: fix lots of bugs with writing charp params from sysfs, by leaking mem.
e180a6b775 "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case
where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers
accessing random memory.

Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's
rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs.  But that's not all:

1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an
   uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param.
2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then
   it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory.

The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory.  This
prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak.  In practice, there
are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are
root-only writable.

f7d7986060 perf_event: Add alignment-faults and emulation-faults software events
Add two more software events that are common to many cpus.

Alignment faults: When a load or store is not aligned properly.

Emulation faults: When an instruction is emulated in software.

Both cause a very significant slowdown (100x or worse), so identifying and
fixing them is very important.

721a669b72 perf events: Fix swevent hrtimer sampling by keeping track of remaining time when enabling/disabling swevent hrtimers
Make the hrtimer based events work for sysprof.

Whenever a swevent is scheduled out, the hrtimer is canceled.
When it is scheduled back in, the timer is restarted. This
happens every scheduler tick, which means the timer never
expired because it was getting repeatedly restarted over and
over with the same period.

To fix that, save the remaining time when disabling; when
reenabling, use that saved time as the period instead of the
user-specified sampling period.

Also, move the starting and stopping of the hrtimers to helper
functions instead of duplicating the code.

e95646c3ec virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.h
Rusty,

commit 3ca4f5ca73
    virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.

In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

434a83c3fb events: Harmonize event field names and print output names
Now that we can filter based on fields via perf record, people
will start using filter expressions and will expect them to
be obvious.

The primary way to see which fields are available is by looking
at the trace output, such as:

  gcc-18676 [000]   343.011728: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
  cc1-18677 [000]   343.012727: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
  cc1-18677 [000]   343.032692: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
  cc1-18677 [000]   343.033690: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
  cc1-18677 [000]   343.034687: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
  cc1-18677 [000]   343.035686: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
  cc1-18677 [000]   343.036684: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer

While 'irq==0' filters work, the 'handler==<x>' filter expression
does not work:

  $ perf record -R -f -a -e irq:irq_handler_entry --filter handler=timer sleep 1
   Error: failed to set filter with 22 (Invalid argument)

The problem is that while an 'irq' field exists and is recognized
as a filter field - 'handler' does not exist - its name is 'name'
in the output.

To solve this, we need to synchronize the printout and the field
names, wherever possible.

In cases where the printout prints a non-field, we enclose
that information in square brackets, such as:

  perf-1380  [013]   724.903505: softirq_exit: vec=9 [action=RCU]
  perf-1380  [013]   724.904482: softirq_exit: vec=1 [action=TIMER]

This way users can use filter expressions more intuitively: all
fields that show up as 'primary' (non-bracketed) information is
filterable.

This patch harmonizes the field names for all irq, bkl, power,
sched and timer events.

We might in fact think about dropping the print format bit of
generic tracepoints altogether, and just print the fields that
are being recorded.

019129d595 rcu: Stopgap fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
For the short term, map synchronize_rcu_expedited() to
synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and to
synchronize_sched_expedited() for TREE_RCU.

Longer term, there needs to be a real expedited grace period for
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, but candidate patches to date are considerably
more complex and intrusive.
