Add the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag to process only sample-data-blocks that
have the block-full-indicator bit set. Sample-data-blocks that are partially
filled are discarded. Use this flag if the sampling buffer is likely to be
shared among perf events that use different sampling modes. In such
environments, flushing sample-data-blocks that are not completely filled, might
cause invalid-data-formats.
Setting PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS prevents potentially invalid sampling data to
be processed but, in contrast, also discards valid samples in partially filled
sample-data-blocks. Note that sample-data-blocks might not become full for
small sampling frequencies or for workload that is scheduled for tiny intervals.
To sample with the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag, set the perf->attr.config1
to 0x0004. For example:
perf record -e cpum_sf/config=0xB000,config1=0x0004/

Also support the diagnostic-sampling function in addition to the basic-sampling
function. Diagnostic-sampling data entries contain hardware model specific
sampling data and additional programs are required to analyze the data.
To deliver diagnostic-sampling, as well, as basis-sampling data entries to user
space, introduce support for sampling "raw data". If this particular perf
sampling type (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW) is used, sampling data entries are copied
to user space. External programs can then analyze these data.

The host-program-parameter (hpp) value of basic sample-data-entries designates
a SIE control block that is set by the LPP instruction in sie64a().
Non-zero values indicate guest samples, a value of zero indicates a host sample.
For perf samples, host and guest samples are distinguished using particular
PERF_MISC_* flags. The perf layer calls perf_misc_flags() to set the flags
based on the pt_regs content. For each sample-data-entry, the cpum_sf PMU
creates a pt_regs structure with the sample-data information. An additional
flag structure is added to easily distinguish between host and guest samples.

Improve the sampling buffer allocation and add a function to reallocate and
increase the sampling buffer structure. The number of allocated buffer elements
(sample-data-blocks) are accounted. You can control the minimum and maximum
number these sample-data-blocks through the cpum_sfb_size kernel parameter.
The number hardware sample overflows (if any) are also accounted and stored
per perf event. During the PMU disable/enable calls, the accumulated overflow
counter is analyzed and, if necessary, the sampling buffer is dynamically
increased.

The early sclp detect functions gather the available SCLP facility
information. The sclp_early_read_info_sccb_valid indicates whether the
early sclp request was valid. However, one external reference to it
checks for particular sclp facility bits and this should be sufficient.
Another occurance is in the sclp_get_ipl_info() function that is called
later. Because all information are available at the early stage, save
the ipl information when detecting the sclp facilities. Hence, no more
checks for sclp_early_read_info_sccb_valid are required.

The CIO layer scans for newly available I/O devices by performing a scan
of available subchannels using the Store Subchannel (STSCH) instruction.
Performing too many STSCH instructions in a tight loop can cause high
Hypervisor overhead which can negatively impact the performance of the
virtual machine as a whole.
A subchannel scan is triggered for example during a hardware event that
indicates that a channel path has become available. It is also triggered
by the DASD device driver for each device that is set online.
This patch reduces the number of STSCH instructions being performed by
delaying the start of the actual subchannel scan by 1 second. Multiple
scan requests that are scheduled during this time will be merged into a
single scan loop.
The trade-off consists of a short delay that is introduced between
the time that the event is processed and a newly available device
becoming usable. This delay should be acceptable since it only
affects devices that have not been in use before.

This processing can take a significant amount of time during which no
other task can run on the same CPU (unless CONFIG_PREEMPT has been

increased noticeably, especially on a single-CPU system.
Fix this problem by explicitly allowing other tasks to be scheduled

which can negatively impact the performance of the virtual machine as

This patch reduces the number of STSCH instructions performed while
processing a resource accessibility event and while varying a CHPID
online.
In both cases, Linux first performs a STSCH instruction on each unused
subchannel to see if the subchannel has become available. If the STSCH
instruction indicates that the subchannel is available, a full
evaluation of this subchannel is scheduled. Since the full evaluation
includes performing a STSCH instruction, the initial STSCH is
unnecessary and can be removed.

The powerpc lock acquisition sequence is as follows:
lwarx; cmpwi; bne; stwcx.; lwsync;
Lock release is as follows:
lwsync; stw;
If CPU 0 does a store (say, x=1) then a lock release, and CPU 1
does a lock acquisition then a load (say, r1=y), then there is
no guarantee of a full memory barrier between the store to 'x'
and the load from 'y'. To see this, suppose that CPUs 0 and 1
are hardware threads in the same core that share a store buffer,
and that CPU 2 is in some other core, and that CPU 2 does the
following:
y = 1; sync; r2 = x;
If 'x' and 'y' are both initially zero, then the lock
acquisition and release sequences above can result in r1 and r2
both being equal to zero, which could not happen if unlock+lock
was a full barrier.
This commit therefore makes powerpc's
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() be a full barrier.

RCU must ensure that there is the equivalent of a full memory
barrier between any memory access preceding grace period and any

which CPU(s) happen to execute the two memory accesses.
Therefore, downgrading UNLOCK+LOCK to no longer imply a full

This commit therefore adds smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()
invocations as needed after the RCU lock acquisitions that need

Historically, an UNLOCK+LOCK pair executed by one CPU, by one
task, or on a given lock variable has implied a full memory
barrier. In a recent LKML thread, the wisdom of this historical
approach was called into question:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg65653.html, in part due
to the memory-order complexities of low-handoff-overhead queued
locks on x86 systems.
This patch therefore removes this guarantee from the
documentation, and further documents how to restore it via a new
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() primitive.

The Linux kernel has traditionally required that an UNLOCK+LOCK
pair act as a full memory barrier when either (1) that
UNLOCK+LOCK pair was executed by the same CPU or task, or (2)
the same lock variable was used for the UNLOCK and LOCK. It now
seems likely that very few places in the kernel rely on this
full-memory-barrier semantic, and with the advent of queued
locks, providing this semantic either requires complex
reasoning, or for some architectures, added overhead.
This commit therefore adds a smp_mb__after_unlock_lock(), which
may be placed after a LOCK primitive to restore the
full-memory-barrier semantic. All definitions are currently
no-ops, but will be upgraded for some architectures when queued
locks arrive.

runtime_idle callback. The suspend callback may be called directly, e.g.
as a result of nouveau_crtc_set_config.

rem_ref() calls iwcm_deref_id(), which will wake up any blockers on
cm_id_priv->destroy_comp if the refcnt hits 0. That will unblock
someone in iw_destroy_cm_id() which will free the cmid. If that
happens before rem_ref() calls test_bit(IWCM_F_CALLBACK_DESTROY,
&cm_id_priv->flags), then the test_bit() will touch freed memory.
The fix is to read the bit first, then deref. We should never be in
iw_destroy_cm_id() with IWCM_F_CALLBACK_DESTROY set, and there is a
BUG_ON() to make sure of that.

For NUMA systems, initializing the blk-mq layer and using per node hctx.
We initialize submit queues to 1, while blk-mq nr_hw_queues is
initialized to the number of NUMA nodes.
This makes the null_init_hctx function overwrite memory outside of what
it allocated. In my case it lead to writing garbage into struct
request_queue's mq_map.
