0a16b60758 tracing, sched: LTTng instrumentation - scheduler
Instrument the scheduler activity (sched_switch, migration, wakeups,
wait for a task, signal delivery) and process/thread
creation/destruction (fork, exit, kthread stop). Actually, kthread
creation is not instrumented in this patch because it is architecture
dependent. It allows to connect tracers such as ftrace which detects
scheduling latencies, good/bad scheduler decisions. Tools like LTTng can
export this scheduler information along with instrumentation of the rest
of the kernel activity to perform post-mortem analysis on the scheduler
activity.

About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to
markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by
Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench
on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code
scheduler code) was added. See the "Tracepoints" patch header for
performance result detail.

Changelog :

- Change instrumentation location and parameter to match ftrace
  instrumentation, previously done with kernel markers.

97e1c18e8d tracing: Kernel Tracepoints
Implementation of kernel tracepoints. Inspired from the Linux Kernel
Markers. Allows complete typing verification by declaring both tracing
statement inline functions and probe registration/unregistration static
inline functions within the same macro "DEFINE_TRACE". No format string
is required. See the tracepoint Documentation and Samples patches for
usage examples.

Taken from the documentation patch :

"A tracepoint placed in code provides a hook to call a function (probe)
that you can provide at runtime. A tracepoint can be "on" (a probe is
connected to it) or "off" (no probe is attached). When a tracepoint is
"off" it has no effect, except for adding a tiny time penalty (checking
a condition for a branch) and space penalty (adding a few bytes for the
function call at the end of the instrumented function and adds a data
structure in a separate section).  When a tracepoint is "on", the
function you provide is called each time the tracepoint is executed, in
the execution context of the caller. When the function provided ends its
execution, it returns to the caller (continuing from the tracepoint
site).

You can put tracepoints at important locations in the code. They are
lightweight hooks that can pass an arbitrary number of parameters, which
prototypes are described in a tracepoint declaration placed in a header
file."

Addition and removal of tracepoints is synchronized by RCU using the
scheduler (and preempt_disable) as guarantees to find a quiescent state
(this is really RCU "classic"). The update side uses rcu_barrier_sched()
with call_rcu_sched() and the read/execute side uses
"preempt_disable()/preempt_enable()".

We make sure the previous array containing probes, which has been
scheduled for deletion by the rcu callback, is indeed freed before we
proceed to the next update. It therefore limits the rate of modification
of a single tracepoint to one update per RCU period. The objective here
is to permit fast batch add/removal of probes on _different_
tracepoints.

Changelog :
- Use #name ":" #proto as string to identify the tracepoint in the
  tracepoint table. This will make sure not type mismatch happens due to
  connexion of a probe with the wrong type to a tracepoint declared with
  the same name in a different header.
- Add tracepoint_entry_free_old.
- Change __TO_TRACE to get rid of the 'i' iterator.

Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> :
Tested on x86-64.

Performance impact of a tracepoint : same as markers, except that it
adds about 70 bytes of instructions in an unlikely branch of each
instrumented function (the for loop, the stack setup and the function
call). It currently adds a memory read, a test and a conditional branch
at the instrumentation site (in the hot path). Immediate values will
eventually change this into a load immediate, test and branch, which
removes the memory read which will make the i-cache impact smaller
(changing the memory read for a load immediate removes 3-4 bytes per
site on x86_32 (depending on mov prefixes), or 7-8 bytes on x86_64, it
also saves the d-cache hit).

About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to
markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by
Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench
on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code
scheduler code) was added.

Quoting Hideo Aoki about Markers :

I evaluated overhead of kernel marker using linux-2.6-sched-fixes git
tree, which includes several markers for LTTng, using an ia64 server.

While the immediate trace mark feature isn't implemented on ia64, there
is no major performance regression. So, I think that we don't have any
issues to propose merging marker point patches into Linus's tree from
the viewpoint of performance impact.

I prepared two kernels to evaluate. The first one was compiled without
CONFIG_MARKERS. The second one was enabled CONFIG_MARKERS.

I downloaded the original hackbench from the following URL:
http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c

I ran hackbench 5 times in each condition and calculated the average and
difference between the kernels.

    The parameter of hackbench: every 50 from 50 to 800
    The number of CPUs of the server: 2, 4, and 8

Below is the results. As you can see, major performance regression
wasn't found in any case. Even if number of processes increases,
differences between marker-enabled kernel and marker- disabled kernel
doesn't increase. Moreover, if number of CPUs increases, the differences
doesn't increase either.

Curiously, marker-enabled kernel is better than marker-disabled kernel
in more than half cases, although I guess it comes from the difference
of memory access pattern.

Pass-in 'inode' or 'tty' parameter to devpts interfaces.  With multiple
devpts instances, these parameters will be used in subsequent patches
to identify the instance of devpts mounted. The parameters also help

	- rename parameters to emphasize they are ptmx or pts inodes
	- pass-in tty_struct * to devpts_pty_kill() (this will help

feebed6515 tty: shutdown method
Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when
they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt
sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe.

Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which
is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown
method is tied into the refcounting.

Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic.

Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code. The pty code can now
have a shutdown() method that replaces the special case hackery in the tree
free up paths.

c26c56c0f4 tty: Cris has a nice RS485 ioctl so we should steal it
JP Tosoni observed:

"About a RS485 ioctl: could you consider the attached files which are
 already in the Linux kernel (in include/asm-cris).  They define a
 TIOCSERSETRS485 (ioctl.h), and the data structure (rs485.h)
 with allows to specify timings. Sounds just like what we want ?"

and he's right: sort of. Rework the structure to use flag bits and make the
time delay a fixed sized field so we don't get 32/64bit problems. Add the ioctls
to x86 so that people know what to add to their platform of choice.

virt_addr_valid() calls __pa(), which calls __phys_addr(). With

14adf855ba x86: move prefill_possible_map calling early, fix, V2
Commit 4a701737 ("x86: move prefill_possible_map calling early, fix")
is the wrong fix: prefill_possible_map() needs to be available
even when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set. A followon patch will do that.

Fix this correctly by making prefill_possible_map() available even when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set. The function is needed so that
the number of possible CPUs can be determined.

Tested on uniprocessor machine with CPU hotplug disabled.

From boot log:
  Before: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 512, nr_node_ids 1
  After: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 1, nr_node_ids 1

early_ioremap() is also used to map normal memory when constructing
the linear memory mapping.  However, since we sometimes need to be able
to distinguish between actual IO mappings and normal memory mappings,
add a early_memremap() call, which maps with PAGE_KERNEL (as opposed
to PAGE_KERNEL_IO for early_ioremap()), and use it when constructing
pagetables.

be43d72835 x86: add _PAGE_IOMAP pte flag for IO mappings
Use one of the software-defined PTE bits to indicate that a mapping is
intended for an IO address.  On native hardware this is irrelevent,
since a physical address is a physical address.  But in a virtual
environment, physical addresses are also virtualized, so there needs
to be some way to distinguish between pseudo-physical addresses and
actual hardware addresses; _PAGE_IOMAP indicates this intent.

By default, __supported_pte_mask masks out _PAGE_IOMAP, so it doesn't
even appear in the final pagetable.
