mac80211_hwsim was crashing when receiving tx information from user
space. Crash happens because txi->rate_driver_data[0] is pointing to a
non valid memory address.
This code path is only used by wmediumd and wmediumd doesn't provide
multiple channel support, so we can pass the channel struct
(data2->channel) directly to mac80211_hwsim_monitor_ack function.

Using dso__binary_type_file() make it look like this function will
return a file, not just its filename, so rename it to:
dso__read_binary_type_filename()
to make its purpose clear, just like we have:
dso__read_running_kernel_build_id()

Move debugfs.* to api/fs/. We have a common tools/lib/api/ place where
the Makefile lives and then we place the headers in subdirs.
For example, all the fs-related stuff goes to tools/lib/api/fs/ from
which we get libapikfs.a (acme got almost the naming he wanted :-)) and
we link it into the tools which need it - in this case perf and
tools/vm/page-types.
acme:
"Looking at the implementation, I think some tools can even link
directly to the .o files, avoiding the .a file altogether.
But that is just an optimization/finer granularity tools/lib/
cherrypicking that toolers can make use of."

A user on StackExchange had a failing SSD that's soldered directly
onto the motherboard of his system. The BIOS does not give any option
to disable it at all, so he can't just hide it from the OS via the
BIOS.
The old IDE layer had hdX=noprobe override for situations like this,
but that was never ported to the libata layer.
This patch implements a disable flag for libata.force.

Ftrace currently initializes only the online CPUs. This implementation has
two problems:
- If we online a CPU after we enable the function profile, and then run the
test, we will lose the trace information on that CPU.
Steps to reproduce:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# cd <debugfs>/tracing/
# echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter
# echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# run test
- If we offline a CPU before we enable the function profile, we will not clear
the trace information when we enable the function profile. It will trouble
the users.
Steps to reproduce:
# cd <debugfs>/tracing/
# echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter
# echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
# run test
# cat trace_stat/function*
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 0 > function_profile_enabled
# echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
# cat trace_stat/function*
# run test
# cat trace_stat/function*
So it is better that we initialize the ftrace profiler for each possible cpu
every time we enable the function profile instead of just the online ones.

The check for "combined mode" (which disables ahci support) on ICH6 is
done after the first use of AHCI BAR. But if ahci is not enabled AHCI
BAR is initialized to 0x00000000. (At least it is on the ICH6-M I tested
this on. If I understand the datasheet correctly it should also be on
ICH6R.) This apparently makes the call of
pcim_iomap_regions_request_all() return -EINVAL. And we end up with
ahci: probe of 0000:00:1f.2 failed with error -22
(at warning level) in the logs.
So check for "combined mode" before calling
pcim_iomap_regions_request_all().

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

To deliver diagnostic-sampling, as well, as basis-sampling data entries to user

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.

Subchannel looping function for_each_subchannel_staged() allocates a
subchannel-ID-bitmap to efficiently iterate over the list of known
and unknown subchannels. Since this function is also used to iterate
over known-subchannels only, optimize that case by not requiring the
ID-bitmap allocation and falling back to simple bus_for_each_dev()
looping.

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.
