The implemetation of _tlbil_pid() on Freescale Book-E cores needs
an msync & isync after we flash invalidate the TLBs. This was causing
the following oops reported by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior:

Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its
argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may
be a result of a funtion call having side effects.
For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the
result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set
bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each
call. This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn).

sched_clock() uses cycles_2_ns() needlessly - which is an irq-disabling
variant of __cycles_2_ns().
Most of the time sched_clock() is called with irqs disabled already.
The few places that call it with irqs enabled need to be updated.

in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:
659567 system_call 41222.9375
686796 schedule 435.7843
718382 __switch_to 665.1685
823875 switch_mm 4526.7857
1883122 native_read_tsc 55385.9412
9761990 total 2.8468
this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.
But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().
This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

Impact: change in trace output
Because the trace buffers are per cpu ring buffers, the start of
the trace can be confusing. If one CPU is very active at the
end of the trace, its history will not go as far back as the
other CPU traces. This means that output for a particular CPU
may not appear for the first part of a trace.
To help annotate what is happening, and to prevent any more
confusion, this patch adds a line that annotates the start of
a CPU buffer output.
For example:
automount-3495 [001] 184.596443: dnotify_parent <-vfs_write
[...]
automount-3495 [001] 184.596449: dput <-path_put
automount-3496 [002] 184.596450: down_read_trylock <-do_page_fault
[...]
sshd-3497 [001] 184.597069: up_read <-do_page_fault
<idle>-0 [000] 184.597074: __exit_idle <-exit_idle
[...]
automount-3496 [002] 184.597257: filemap_fault <-__do_fault
<idle>-0 [003] 184.597261: exit_idle <-smp_apic_timer_interrupt
Note, parsers of a trace output should always ignore any lines that
start with a '#'.

Impact: preemptoff not tested in selftest
Due to the BKL not being preemptable anymore, the selftest of the
preemptoff code can not be tested. It requires that it is called
with preemption enabled, but since the BKL is held, that is no
longer the case.
This patch simply skips those tests if it detects that the context
is not preemptable. The following will now show up in the tests:
Testing tracer preemptoff: can not test ... force PASSED
Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: can not test ... force PASSED
When the BKL is removed, or it becomes preemptable once again, then
the tests will be performed.

Impact: have the ftrace_printk enabled on startup
It is confusing to have to "echo trace_printk > /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl"
after adding ftrace_printk in the kernel.
Currently the trace_printk is set to off by default. ftrace_printk
should only be in open kernel code when used for debugging, and thus
it should be enabled by default.
It may also be used to record data within a tracer, but those ftrace_printks
should be within wrappers that are either enabled by trace_points or
have a variable protecting the code path from being entered when the
tracer is disabled.

Impact: fix to irqsoff tracer output
In converting to the new start / stop ftrace handling, the irqsoff
tracer start called the irqsoff reset function. irqsoff tracer is
not the same as the other traces, and it resets the buffers while
searching for the longest latency.
The reset that the irqsoff stop method calls disables the function
tracing. That means that, by starting the tracer, the function
tracer is disabled incorrectly.
This patch simply removes the call to reset which keeps the function
tracing enabled. Reset is not needed for the irqsoff stop method.

Impact: fix for sched_switch that broke dynamic ftrace startup
The commit: tracing/fastboot: use sched switch tracer from boot tracer
broke the API of the sched_switch trace. The use of the
tracing_start/stop_cmdline record is for only recording the cmdline,
NOT recording the schedule switches themselves.
Seeing that the boot tracer broke the API to do something that it
wanted, this patch adds a new interface for the API while
puting back the original interface of the old API.

A bug was introduced in this patch commit:
d9a9855d0b06ca6d6cc92596fedcc03f8512e062
always reserve elfcore header memory in crash kernel
The problem was that the call to reserve_elfcorehdr() should be placed

When initializing an uninitialized block group in ext4_new_inode(),
its block group checksum must be re-calculated. This fixes a race
when several threads try to allocate a new inode in an UNINIT'd group.
There is some question whether we need to be initializing the block
bitmap in ext4_new_inode() at all, but for now, if we are going to
init the block group, let's eliminate the race.

Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so
that they can't be updated illegally. As a result, if a page is being
turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings
are RO.
If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have
left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped.
This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning
the page.
Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even
for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.

Yup, this appears to be the problem, thanks. I think &hso_net->net->dev
is more intuitive for the error message, so I've used that. I've also
added missing line endings on the error messages and set our local
rfkill structure element to NULL on failure so we don't try to call
rfkill_unregister on driver removal if we failed to register at all.
The patch below Works For Me (TM); the device is detected fine, can be
removed without problems and connects ok. I'll have a prod at why the
rfkill stuff isn't working next, but I believe this cleanup of the error
handling is appropriate no matter what the issue with registration is.
