If we select a symbol it should have a type declared first
otherwise in some situations the config tools get upset. They
are currently perhaps a bit too resilient which is why this
wasn't noticed initially.

In the unlikely case that a platform registers a PMU platform_device
when running on a CPU that is unsupported by perf, we will encounter a
NULL dereference when trying to assign the platform_device to the
cpu_pmu structure.
This patch checks that the CPU is supported by perf before assigning
the platform_device.

Some HP laptops with IDT 92HD75 codecs may use a GPIO > 4 for the mute
LED, but currently the driver doesn't check this properly, and confuses
the mute LED behavior. This ended up with the silent output on some
HP laptops due to having another GPIO used as external amp control.
This patch fixes the problem by checking the max GPIO count and
comparing with the given value from DMI entry instead of magic fixed
value 4 and 8, and adding a new field to indicate the VREF mute-LED
behavior.

The linker places the unwind tables in readonly sections. So when using
an XIP kernel these are located in ROM and cannot be modified.
For that reason the current approach to convert the relative offsets in
the unwind index to absolute addresses early in the boot process doesn't
work with XIP.
The offsets in the unwind index section are signed 31 bit numbers and
the structs are sorted by this offset. So it first has offsets between
0x40000000 and 0x7fffffff (i.e. the negative offsets) and then offsets
between 0x00000000 and 0x3fffffff. When seperating these two blocks the
numbers are sorted even when interpreting the offsets as unsigned longs.
So determine the first non-negative entry once and track that using the
new origin pointer. The actual bisection can then use a plain unsigned
long comparison. The only thing that makes the new bisection more
complicated is that the offsets are relative to their position in the
index section, so the key to search needs to be adapted accordingly in
each step.
Moreover several consts are added to catch future writes and rename the
member "addr" of struct unwind_idx to "addr_offset" to better match the
new semantic. (This has the additional benefit of breaking eventual
users at compile time to make them aware of the change.)
In my tests the new algorithm was a tad faster than the original and has
the additional upside of not needing the initial conversion and so saves
some boot time and it's possible to unwind even earlier.

Commit 1b9f95f8ade9 (ARM: prepare for removal of a bunch of <mach/memory.h>
files) introduced CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET but the Kconfig hex prompt did not
provide a default value.
This has the undesired side effect of breaking a reportedly used
trick for updating defconfigs on the fly for routine buildtesting
across all arch and all platforms, i.e.
cp /path/to/somedefconfig .config ; yes "" | make oldconfig
because the config system will endlessly loop until a valid address is
provided.
However we can't just pick a random default value since it is likely to
be wrong for the majority of the boards as the right answer for this
option is quite varied. So the fact that the config system insists on
having a proper value be entered is actually a good thing.
It turns out that only at91x40_defconfig has this problem because it has
CONFIG_MMU=n. However, in the !MMU case, there is already a CONFIG_DRAM_BASE
value that can be used here. So let's use that as a default in that case
and suppress the redundant CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET prompt.
Eventually the DRAM_BASE config option could simply be replaced by
PHYS_OFFSET directly, but that's a larger change better suited for later.

Currently SND_SOC_JZ4740_CODEC depends on SOC_JZ4740 but SOC_JZ4740 is not
defined in any Kconfig. Thus the codec driver will not be built when select
"Build all ASoC CODEC drivers".
(Unless it is selected by SND_JZ4740_SOC_QI_LB60).
Remove the dependency with SOC_JZ4740, then this code driver can be built when
select "Build all ASoC CODEC drivers".

We currently fail to build on CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MID=y and
CONFIG_X86_MRST unset.
We could build all the bits to make generic MID work if you
picked MID platform alone but that's really silly. Instead use
select and two variables.
This looks a bit daft right now but once we add a Medfield
selection it'll start to look a good deal more sensible.

Allow userspace applications to do more parameter setting by providing a
more complete stub DMA driver specifying a wildcard set of formats and
channels and essentially random values for the DMA parameters. This is
required for useful runtime operation of the dummy DMA driver until we
are able to figure out how to power up links and do hw_params() from DAPM.
Sending to stable as without this the dummy driver is not terribly
useful.

The x86_64 kernel pushes the fake kernel stack in
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:FAKE_STACK_FRAME, and
rflags register in it does not conform to the specification.
Although Intel's manual[1] says bit 1 of it shall be set to 1,
this bit is cleared to 0 on pushing the fake stack.
[1] Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual
Vol.1 3-21 Figure 3-8. EFLAGS Register
If it is not on purpose, it is better to be fixed, because
it can lead some tools misunderstanding the stack frame. For example,
"crash" utility[2] actually detects it and warns you like
below:

This adjusts PCI_IOAPIC to be user configurable (possibly as a
module) on x86, since the base architecture code for adding
IO-APICs dynamically isn't there yet (and hence having the code
present everywhere is pretty pointless).
To make this consistent, a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() declaration
gets added, the class specifications get corrected (by properly
using PCI_DEVICE_CLASS() intended for purposes like this), and
the probe and remove functions get their sections adjusted.

is semi idle or not. This helps remove the is_semi_idle_group() and simplify

When there are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often, members of
the global nohz data structure are getting modified very frequently causing
lot of cache-line contention.
Make the nohz idle load balancing more scalabale by using the sched domain
topology and 'nr_busy_cpu's in the struct sched_group_power.
Idle load balance is kicked on one of the idle cpu's when there is atleast
one idle cpu and:
- a busy rq having more than one task or
- a busy rq's scheduler group that share package resources (like HT/MC
siblings) and has more than one member in that group busy or
- for the SD_ASYM_PACKING domain, if the lower numbered cpu's in that
domain are idle compared to the busy ones.
This will help in kicking the idle load balancing request only when
there is a potential imbalance. And once it is mostly balanced, these kicks will
be minimized.
These changes helped improve the workload that is context switch intensive
between number of task pairs by 2x on a 8 socket NHM-EX based system.

Introduce nr_busy_cpus in the struct sched_group_power [Not in sched_group
because sched groups are duplicated for the SD_OVERLAP scheduler domain]
and for each cpu that enters and exits idle, this parameter will
be updated in each scheduler group of the scheduler domain that this cpu
belongs to.
To avoid the frequent update of this state as the cpu enters
and exits idle, the update of the stat during idle exit is
delayed to the first timer tick that happens after the cpu becomes busy.
This is done using NOHZ_IDLE flag in the struct rq's nohz_flags.

Introduce nohz_flags in the struct rq, which will track these two flags
for now.
NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED keeps track of the tick stopped status that gets set when
the tick is stopped. It will be used to update the nohz idle load balancer data
structures during the first busy tick after the tick is restarted. At this
first busy tick after tickless idle, NOHZ_TICK_STOPPED flag will be reset.
This will minimize the nohz idle load balancer status updates that currently
happen for every tickless exit, making it more scalable when there
are many logical cpu's that enter and exit idle often.
NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK will track the need for nohz idle load balance
on this rq. This will replace the nohz_balance_kick in the rq, which was
not being updated atomically.

Instead of going through the scheduler domain hierarchy multiple times
(for giving priority to an idle core over an idle SMT sibling in a busy
core), start with the highest scheduler domain with the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
flag and traverse the domain hierarchy down till we find an idle group.
This cleanup also addresses an issue reported by Mike where the recent
changes returned the busy thread even in the presence of an idle SMT
sibling in single socket platforms.

jump_lable patching is very expensive operation that involves pausing all
cpus. The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable
from userspace by unprivileged user.
When te user runs a loop like this:
"while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done"
... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter
for one second drops by 4%.
This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of
them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse.
Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf
record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event
frequently.
This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses
it to fix the above problem.
I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more
common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing
it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to
perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this
patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.

Because all events will have the same weight.

The current x86 event scheduler fails to resolve scheduling problems
of certain combinations of events and constraints. This happens if the
counter mask of such an event is not a subset of any other counter
mask of a constraint with an equal or higher weight, e.g. constraints
of the AMD family 15h pmu:
counter mask weight
amd_f15_PMC30 0x09 2 <--- overlapping counters
amd_f15_PMC20 0x07 3
amd_f15_PMC53 0x38 3
The scheduler does not find then an existing solution. Here is an
example:
event code counter failure possible solution
0x02E PMC[3,0] 0 3
0x043 PMC[2:0] 1 0
0x045 PMC[2:0] 2 1
0x046 PMC[2:0] FAIL 2
The event scheduler may not select the correct counter in the first
cycle because it needs to know which subsequent events will be
scheduled. It may fail to schedule the events then.
To solve this, we now save the scheduler state of events with
overlapping counter counstraints. If we fail to schedule the events
we rollback to those states and try to use another free counter.
Constraints with overlapping counters are marked with a new introduced
overlap flag. We set the overlap flag for such constraints to give the
scheduler a hint which events to select for counter rescheduling. The
EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macro can be used for this.
Care must be taken as the rescheduling algorithm is O(n!) which will
increase scheduling cycles for an over-commited system dramatically.
The number of such EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macros and its counter
masks must be kept at a minimum. Thus, the current stack is limited to
2 states to limit the number of loops the algorithm takes in the worst
case.
On systems with no overlapping-counter constraints, this
implementation does not increase the loop count compared to the
previous algorithm.
V2:
* Renamed redo -> overlap.
* Reimplementation using perf scheduling helper functions.
V3:
* Added WARN_ON_ONCE() if out of save states.
* Changed function interface of perf_sched_restore_state() to use bool
as return value.

This patch introduces x86 perf scheduler code helper functions. We
need this to later add more complex functionality to support
overlapping counter constraints (next patch).
The algorithm is modified so that the range of weight values is now
generated from the constraints. There shouldn't be other functional
changes.
With the helper functions the scheduler is controlled. There are
functions to initialize, traverse the event list, find unused counters
etc. The scheduler keeps its own state.
V3:
* Added macro for_each_set_bit_cont().
* Changed functions interfaces of perf_sched_find_counter() and
perf_sched_next_event() to use bool as return value.
* Added some comments to make code better understandable.
V4:
* Fix broken event assignment if weight of the first event is not
wmin (perf_sched_init()).

Cure this by keeping a perf_event_context::nr_freq counter that counts the
number of active events that require frequency adjustments and use this in a
similar fashion to the already existing nr_events != nr_active test in
perf_rotate_context().
By being able to exclude both rotation and frequency adjustments a-priory for
the common case we can avoid the otherwise superfluous PMU disable.

do_notify_resume() gets called with interrupts disabled on x86_32. This
is different from the x86_64 behavior, where interrupts are enabled at
the time.
Queries on lkml on this issue hasn't yielded any clear answer. Lets make
x86_32 behave the same as x86_64, unless there is a real reason to
maintain status quo.
Please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/27/130 for more
details.
A similar change was suggested in ARM:

My 32-bit machine works fine (tm) with this patch.

This patch prints the name of the lock which is acquired
before lockdep_init() is called, so that users can easily
find which lock triggered the lockdep init error warning.
This patch also removes the lockdep_init_error() message
of "Arch code didn't call lockdep_init() early enough?"
since lockdep_init() is called in arch independent code now.

This patch fixes a lockdep warning on ARM platforms:
[ 0.000000] WARNING: lockdep init error! Arch code didn't call lockdep_init() early enough?
[ 0.000000] Call stack leading to lockdep invocation was:
[ 0.000000] [<c00164bc>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x0/0x90
[ 0.000000] [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff
The warning is caused by printk inside smp_setup_processor_id().
It is safe to do this because lockdep_init() doesn't depend on
smp_setup_processor_id(), so improve things that printk can be
called as early as possible without lockdep complaint.

Since commit f59de89 ("lockdep: Clear whole lockdep_map on initialization"),
lockdep_init_map() will clear all the struct. But it will break
lock_set_class()/lock_set_subclass(). A typical race condition
is like below:
CPU A CPU B
lock_set_subclass(lockA);
lock_set_class(lockA);
lockdep_init_map(lockA);
/* lockA->name is cleared */
memset(lockA);
__lock_acquire(lockA);
/* lockA->class_cache[] is cleared */
register_lock_class(lockA);
look_up_lock_class(lockA);
WARN_ON_ONCE(class->name !=
lock->name);
lock->name = name;
So restore to what we have done before commit f59de89 but annotate
->lock with kmemcheck_mark_initialized() to suppress the kmemcheck
warning reported in commit f59de89.

It's unlikely that TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND causes false
lockdep messages, so do not disable lockdep in that case.
We still want to keep lockdep disabled in the
TAINT_OOT_MODULE case:
- bin-only modules can cause various instabilities in
their and in unrelated kernel code
- they are impossible to debug for kernel developers
- they also typically do not have the copyright license
permission to link to the GPL-ed lockdep code.
