This reworks the parser for event descriptors to make it more
consistent in what it accepts. It is now structured as a
recursive descent parser for the following grammar:
events ::= event ( ("," | space) space* event )*
event ::= ( raw_event | numeric_event | symbolic_event |
generic_hw_event ) [ event_modifier ]
raw_event ::= "r" hex_number
numeric_event ::= number ":" number
number ::= decimal_number | "0x" hex_number | "0" octal_number
symbolic_event ::= string_from_event_symbols_array
generic_hw_event::= cache_type ( "-" ( cache_op | cache_result ) )*
event_modifier ::= ":" ( "u" | "k" | "h" )+
with the extra restriction that you can have at most one
cache_op and at most one cache_result.
We pass the current string pointer by reference (i.e. as a
const char **) to the various parsing functions so that they
can advance the pointer to indicate how much they consumed.
They return 0 if they didn't recognize the thing at the pointer
or 1 if they did (and advance the pointer past it).
This also fixes parse_aliases to take the longest matching
alias from the table, not the first one. Otherwise "l1-data"
would match the "l1-d" alias and the "ata" would not be
consumed.
This allows event modifiers indicating what processor modes to
count in to be applied to any event, not just numeric events,
and adds a ":h" modifier to indicate counting in hypervisor
mode. Specifying ":u" now sets both exclude_kernel and
exclude_hv, and so on. Multiple modes can be specified, e.g.
":uk" will count in user or hypervisor mode (i.e. only
exclude_kernel will be set).

The symbol resolving has of course revealed some bugs in the
callchain tree handling. This patch fixes some of them,
including:
- inherit the children from the parents while splitting a node
- fix list range moving
- fix indexes setting in callchains
- create a child on the current node if the path doesn't match in
the existent children (was only done on the root)
- compare using symbols when possible so that we can match a function
using any ip inside by referring to its start address.
The practical effects are:
- remove double callchains
- fix upside down or any random order of callchains
- fix wrong paths
- fix bad hits and percentage accounts

| SRAT tables may contains nodes of very small size. The arch code may

| active although these nodes have no present pages.
|
| For 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too
unintentionally and incorrectly clears the cpuset.mems cgroup attribute on
an i386 kvm guest, meaning that cpuset.mems can not be used.
Fix this by only clearing node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] for 64bit only.

balance_dirty_pages can overreact and move all of the dirty pages to
writeback unnecessarily.
balance_dirty_pages makes its decision to throttle based on the number of
dirty plus writeback pages that are over the calculated limit,so it will
continue to move pages even when there are plenty of pages in writeback
and less than the threshold still dirty.
This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to
writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback
list.
A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem.
fio --name=f1 --directory=/disk1 --size=2G -rw=write --name=f2 --directory=/disk2 --size=1G --rw=write --startdelay=10
This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it
alone will be enough for all cases. But it certainly is an improvement on
my desktop machine writing to 2 disks.
Do we need something more for machines with large arrays where

Bugfix to spi_bitbang infrastructure: make sure to always set transfer
parameters on the first pass through the message's per-transfer loop.
This can matter with drivers that replace the per-word or per-buffer
transfer primitives, on busses with multiple SPI devices.
Previously, this could have started messages using the settings left after
previous messages. The problem was observed when a high speed chip
(m25p80 type flash) was running very slowly because a low speed device
(avr8 microcontroller) had previously used the bus. Similar faults could
have driven the low speed device too fast, or used an unexpected word
size.

Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.
Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these
fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.
This is 2.6.31 material. It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
register_framebuffer()). It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that
controller. Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction.
Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver.
Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag. Its coding
relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the
underlying controller driver won't perform them.
(The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the
temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in
which case the existing code applies. Similarly, any spi_master
implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:
* SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
full duplex.
This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
transitions with the SPI master.
* SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
each of the 3-wire flavors).
Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC
converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
many host controllers support it today.
The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).

ext2_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.
The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.
This patch thus changes ext2_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext2_iget(), as ext2 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.

Commonly available versions of cp and tar don't work well with special
files created using seq_file. Mention this problem in the gcov
documentation and update the helper script example to work around these
problems.

alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via
generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the
compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
in modules are unused.
This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
__used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process,
PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.
This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This
also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get this
error:
drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict
This was introduced by commit ae52bb2384
("fbdev: move logo externs to header file"). This is a partial revert of
that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug.
Also convert _clut arrays from __initconst to __initdata.
Sam said:
Al analysed this some time ago. When we say something is const then
_sometimes_ gcc annotate the section as const(?) - sometimes not. So if
we have two variables/functions annotated __*const and gcc decides to
annotate the section const only in one case we get a section type
conflict.

The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
on the size of the previous sections.
Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned. However the extra zeroes at the
beginning aren't expected by the code. When walking the functions
pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
random jumps. So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
aligned as well.
Fixes this crash on an allyesconfig on s390:

Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
the file pointer instance.
Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away. Also,
now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
file*.
This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
development.
