Impact: fix race+crash in mmiotrace
The list manipulation in remove_kmmio_fault_pages() was broken. If more
than one consecutive kmmio_fault_page was re-added during the grace
period between unregister_kmmio_probe() and remove_kmmio_fault_pages(),
the list manipulation failed to remove pages from the release list.
After a second grace period the pages get into rcu_free_kmmio_fault_pages()
and raise a BUG_ON() kernel crash.
The list manipulation is fixed to properly remove pages from the release
list.
This bug has been present from the very beginning of mmiotrace in the
mainline kernel. It was introduced in 0fd0e3da ("x86: mmiotrace full
patch, preview 1");
An urgent fix for Linus. Tested by Stuart (on 32-bit) and Pekka
(on amd and intel 64-bit systems, nouveau and nvidia proprietary).

Impact: improve out-of-range fixmap index debugging
Commit "1b42f51630c7eebce6fb780b480731eb81afd325"
defined the __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() function
with a WARN_ON(1) in it.
This causes the linker to not report an error when
__this_fixmap_does_not_exist() is called with a
non-constant parameter.
Ingo defined __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() because he
wanted to get virt addresses of fix memory of nest level
by non-constant index.
But we can fix this and still keep the link-time check:
We can get the four slot virt addresses on link time and
store them to array slot_virt[].
Then we can then refer the slot_virt with non-constant index,
in the ioremap-leak detection code.

Running 'make rpm' fails when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y and using a kernel source
tree under SCM. This is due to KERNELRELEASE being different when the initial make
is run and when make is run from rpmbuild.
mkspec creates kernel.spec using KERNELRELEASE:
<mkspec>
echo "%files"
echo '%defattr (-, root, root)'
echo "%dir /lib/modules"
echo "/lib/modules/$KERNELRELEASE"
echo "/lib/firmware"
echo "/boot/*"
echo ""
</mkspec>
When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y scripts/setlocalversion is called and grabs any
additional version info from SCM. Next, the srctree is tarred up and SCM
information is excluded.
rpmbuild reruns make and in the process generates a new include/config/kernel.release
and thus a new KERNELRELEASE. However this time the SCM information is gone so
KERNELRELEASE no longer has the additional version information. When "make modules_install"
runs, it uses the new KERNELRELEASE value to determine where to install the modules.
This conflicts with where the spec file assumes they are going because of the
mis-matching KERNELRELEASE versions.

Impact: fix deadlock and allow atomic free
Percpu allocation always uses GFP_KERNEL and whole alloc/free paths
were protected by single mutex. All percpu allocations have been from
GFP_KERNEL-safe context and the original allocator had this assumption
too. However, by protecting both alloc and free paths with the same
mutex, the new allocator creates free -> alloc -> GFP_KERNEL
dependency which the original allocator didn't have. This can lead to
deadlock if free is called from FS or IO paths. Also, in general,
allocators are expected to allow free to be called from atomic
context.
This patch implements finer grained locking to break the deadlock and
allow atomic free. For details, please read the "Synchronization
rules" comment.
While at it, also add CONTEXT: to function comments to describe which
context they expect to be called from and what they do to it.

Impact: faster and lighter tracing
Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser
memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop
the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(),
which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to
trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use
trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries.
Some changes result of this:
- Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't
work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation
of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated
in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file
trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module
management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c
- changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries.
- change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats
constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for
developers.
- etc...

- Rebase against last changes
- Fix mispell on the changelog

Impact: save on memory for tracing
Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry,
struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary
event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events.
A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it.
So we need a generic binary record for events. This infrastructure
is for this purpose.

An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to
make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster.
Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting
job from tracing time to output time.
Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and
insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace
file.
The new implementation stores the address of the format string and
the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact
and faster to insert.
Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved
with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done.
The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from
vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain
in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits.
Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most
possible common bits from these functions.
The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although
they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters
is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see
other parts that could be worth factorized.
Changes in V2:
- Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside
a structure.
Changes in v3:
- Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the
printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string()
Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to
avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the
changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns.
It would be too risky.
- Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains).
- Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p
Changes in v4:
- drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char *
(thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

Move the kernel_text_lock/unlock out of the for loops.
Use text_mutex directly instead of a function.
Remove whitespace modifications.
(note : kprobes_mutex is always taken outside of text_mutex)

This is an architecture independant synchronization around kernel text
modifications through use of a global mutex.
A mutex has been chosen so that kprobes, the main user of this, can sleep
during memory allocation between the memory read of the instructions it
must replace and the memory write of the breakpoint.
Other user of this interface: immediate values.
Paravirt and alternatives are always done when SMP is inactive, so there
is no need to use locks.
