In current code, children task will allocate memory for
'child->perf_event_ctxp' if the parent is counted, we can
do it only if the parent allowed children inherit it.
It can save memory and reduce overhead.

Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling
it, changing its address, type or len, it calls
modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and
racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new
one.
This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint
slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only
supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging
workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle.
So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just
disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it
after if necessary.

On SUN3, m68k defines macro VMALLOC_END as unsigned long variable
vmalloc_end which is adjusted from mmu_emu_init(). This becomes
problematic if a local variables vmalloc_end is defined in some
function (not very unlikely) and VMALLOC_END is used in the function -
the function thinks its referencing the global VMALLOC_END value but
would be referencing its own local vmalloc_end variable.
Rename the global variable to m68k_vmlloc_end which is much less
likely to be used as local variable name.

e821ea70f3b4873b50056a1e0f74befed1014c09 introduced a bug by copying
some 64-bit originated code as-is to be used by both 32 and 64-bit

This changes it to cmpwi, which is fine since VRSAVE can only contains

Fix add-probe command syntax without --add option.
perf-probe supports add-probe command without --add
option. But it treats each argument as an event definition.
e.g.
perf probe func arg1 arg2
is interpreted as
perf probe --add func --add arg1 --add arg2
But it may be useless in many cases.
This patch fixes this syntax to fold those arguments into
one event definition if there is no --add option. With this
change, above command is interpreted as below;
perf probe --add "func arg1 arg2"

At the moment when we EOI an interrupt we set the CPPR back to 0xFF
regardless of its previous value. This could lead to problems if we
take an interrupt with a priority of 5, but before EOIing it we get
an IPI which has a priority of 4. The problem is that at the moment
when we EOI the IPI we will set the CPPR to 0xFF, but it should
really be set back to 5 (the previous priority).
To keep track of the previous CPPR values we create the xics_cppr
structure that has an array for CPPR values and an index pointing
to the current priority. This can easily grow if new priorities get
added in the future.
This will also be useful because the partition adjunct option of
upcoming machines will update the H_XIRR hcall to accept the CPPR
as a parameter.

The recent patch to add cpu offline/online as part of the DLPAR
process for pseries causes a build break if CONFIG_SMP is not
defined. Original patch here;
http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-November/078299.html
This corrects the build break by moving the online_node_cpus
and offline_node_cpus under the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE
portions of dlpar.c.
This patch also slightly modifies the online_node_cpus and offline_node_cpus
routines to prepend dlpar_ to the them and make them static. These two
routine are only used in the dlpar add/remove of cpus and these changes
should help clarify that.

Update the TLB asm to make proper use of _PAGE_DIRY and _PAGE_ACCESSED.
Get rid of _PAGE_HWWRITE too.
Pros:
- I/D TLB Miss never needs to write to the linux pte.
- _PAGE_ACCESSED is only set on TLB Error fixing accounting
- _PAGE_DIRTY is mapped to 0x100, the changed bit, and is set directly
when a page has been made dirty.
- Proper RO/RW mapping of user space.
- Free up 2 SW TLB bits in the linux pte(add back _PAGE_WRITETHRU ?)

deallocate
Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation process comprises of two steps:
- Set the indicators and to update the device tree with DLPAR node
information.
- Online/offline the allocated/deallocated CPU.
This is achieved by writing to the sysfs tunables "probe" during allocation
and "release" during deallocation.
At the sametime, the userspace can independently online/offline the CPUs of
the system using the sysfs tunable "online".
It is quite possible that when a userspace tool offlines a CPU
for the purpose of deallocation and is in the process of updating the device
tree, some other userspace tool could bring the CPU back online by writing to
the "online" sysfs tunable thereby causing the deallocate process to fail.
The solution to this is to serialize writes to the "probe/release" sysfs
tunable with the writes to the "online" sysfs tunable.
This patch employs a mutex to provide this serialization, which is a no-op on
all architectures except PPC_PSERIES

Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation on pSeries is a
two step process from the Userspace.
- Set the indicators and update the device tree by writing to the sysfs
tunable "probe" during allocation and "release" during deallocation.
- Online / Offline the CPUs of the allocated/would_be_deallocated node by
writing to the sysfs tunable "online".
This patch adds kernel code to online/offline the CPUs soon_after/just_before
they have been allocated/would_be_deallocated. This way, the userspace tool
that performs DLPAR operations would only have to deal with one set of sysfs
tunables namely "probe" and release".

Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to
Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2
of the patch.
In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an
interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system.
This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate
cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each
arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding
and removing cpus to/from the system.
This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts
from writes to the sysfs files.
The creation and use of these files is regulated by the
CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the
capability will have the files created.

The Dynamic Logical Partitioning capabilities of the powerpc pseries platform
allows for the addition and removal of resources (i.e. CPU's, memory, and PCI
devices) from a partition. The removal of a resource involves
removing the resource's node from the device tree and then returning the
resource to firmware via the rtas set-indicator call. To add a resource, it
is first obtained from firmware via the rtas set-indicator call and then a
new device tree node is created using the ibm,configure-coinnector rtas call
and added to the device tree.
This patch provides the kernel DLPAR infrastructure in a new filed named
dlpar.c. The functionality provided is for acquiring and releasing a resource
from firmware and the parsing of information returned from the
ibm,configure-connector rtas call. Additionally this exports the pSeries
reconfiguration notifier chain so that it can be invoked when device tree
updates are made.

"pwm invert" bit in the fan behavior configuration register. On my PowerBook
G4, this results in the fans going to full speed at low temperature and
shutting off at high temperature because the pwm invert bit is supposed to be
set.
Therefore, record the pwm invert bit at driver load time, and write the bit
into the fan behavior control register. This restores correct behavior on my
PBG4 and should work around the bit being set to the wrong value after
suspend/resume (which is what the original patch was trying to fix). It also
fixes a minor omission where the pwm invert bit correction is NOT performed
when switching into automatic mode.

This is a libata driver for the "macio" IDE controller used on most Apple
PowerMac and PowerBooks. It's a libata equivalent of drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c
It supports all the features of its predecessor, including mediabay hotplug
and suspend/resume. It should also support module load/unload.
The timing calculations have been simplified to use pre-calculated tables
compared to drivers/ide/pmac.c and it uses the new mediabay interface
provided by a previous patch.

In libata-sff, ata_sff_post_internal_cmd() directly calls ata_bmdma_stop()
instead of ap->ops->bmdma_stop(). This can be a problem for controllers
that use their own bmdma_stop for which the generic sff one isn't suitable

The hotplug mediabay has tendrils deep into drivers/ide code
which makes a libata port reather difficult. In addition it's
ugly and could be done better.
This reworks the interface between the mediabay and the rest
of the world so that:
- Any macio_driver can now have a mediabay_event callback
which will be called when that driver sits on a mediabay and
it's been either plugged or unplugged. The device type is
passed as an argument. We can now move all the IDE cruft
into the IDE driver itself
- A check_media_bay() function can be used to take a peek
at the type of device currently in the bay if any, a cleaner
variant of the previous function with the same name.
- A pair of lock/unlock functions are exposed to allow the
IDE driver to block the hotplug callbacks during the initial
setup and probing of the bay in order to avoid nasty race
conditions.
- The mediabay code no longer needs to spin on the status
register of the IDE interface when it detects an IDE device,
this is done just fine by the IDE code itself
Overall, less code, simpler, and allows for another driver
than our old drivers/ide based one.

About 50% of shutdowns of b44 Ethernet adapter ends by kernel panic
with kernels compiled with stack-protector.
Checking b44_magic_pattern() return values, one call of
b44_magic_pattern() returns 127. It means, that set_bit(128, pmask)
was called on line 1509. It means that bit 0 of 17th byte of pmask was
overwritten. But pmask has only 16 bytes. Stack corruption happens.
It seems that set_bit() on line 1509 always writes one bit off.
The fix does not only solve the stack corruption, but also makes Wake

It can happen, that tcp_retransmit_skb fails due to some error.
In such cases we might end up into a state where tp->retrans_out
is zero but that's only because we removed the TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS
bit from a segment but couldn't retransmit it because of the error
that happened. Therefore some assumptions that retrans_out checks
are based do not necessarily hold, as there still can be an old
retransmission but that is only visible in TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS bit.
As retransmission happen in sequential order (except for some very
rare corner cases), it's enough to check the head skb for that bit.
Main reason for all this complexity is the fact that connection dying
time now depends on the validity of the retrans_stamp, in particular,
that successive retransmissions of a segment must not advance
retrans_stamp under any conditions. It seems after quick thinking that
this has relatively low impact as eventually TCP will go into CA_Loss
and either use the existing check for !retrans_stamp case or send a
retransmission successfully, setting a new base time for the dying
timer (can happen only once). At worst, the dying time will be
approximately the double of the intented time. In addition,
tcp_packet_delayed() will return wrong result (has some cc aspects
but due to rarity of these errors, it's hardly an issue).
One of retrans_stamp clearing happens indirectly through first going
into CA_Open state and then a later ACK lets the clearing to happen.
Thus tcp_try_keep_open has to be modified too.
Thanks to Damian Lukowski <damian@tvk.rwth-aachen.de> for hinting
that this possibility exists (though the particular case discussed
didn't after all have it happening but was just a debug patch
artifact).

This patch fixes a problem in the TCP connection timeout calculation.
Currently, timeout decisions are made on the basis of the current
tcp_time_stamp and retrans_stamp, which is usually set at the first
retransmission.
However, if the retransmission fails in tcp_retransmit_skb(),
retrans_stamp is not updated and remains zero. This leads to wrong
decisions in retransmits_timed_out() if tcp_time_stamp is larger than
the specified timeout, which is very likely.
In this case, the TCP connection dies after the first attempted
(and unsuccessful) retransmission.
With this patch, tcp_skb_cb->when is used instead, when retrans_stamp
is not available.
This bug has been introduced together with retransmits_timed_out() in
2.6.32, as the number of retransmissions has been used for timeout
decisions before. The corresponding commit was
6fa12c85031485dff38ce550c24f10da23b0adaa (Revert Backoff [v3]:
Calculate TCP's connection close threshold as a time value.).
Thanks to Ilpo Järvinen for code suggestions and Frederic Leroy for
testing.
