Introduce a callback pointer from the log to dm-raid1 layer.
Before some region is set as "in-sync", we need to flush hardware cache on
all the disks. But the log module doesn't have access to the mirror_set
structure. So it will use this callback.
So far the callback is unused, it will be used in further patches.

Half the compat_ioctl handling is in devio.c, the other
half is in fs/compat_ioctl.c. This moves everything into
one place for consistency.
As a positive side-effect, push down the BKL into the

Based on patch originally by Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>
enclosure_status is expected to be a NULL terminated array of strings
but isn't actually NULL terminated. When writing an invalid value to
/sys/class/enclosure/.../.../status, it goes off the end of the array
and Oopses.
Fix by making the assumption true and adding NULL at the end.

So far the maximum quota space limit was 4TB. Apparently this isn't enough
for Lustre guys anymore. So implement new quota format which raises block
limits to 2^64 bytes. Also store number of inodes and inode limits in
64-bit variables as 2^32 files isn't that insanely high anymore.
The first version of the patch has been developed by Andrew Perepechko

There is no reason to make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info and
friends visible to the rest of the kernel. So move all of them to
hrtimer.c. Also make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info a static
inline function so it gets inlined and we avoid another function call.

The hrtimer_interrupt hang logic adjusts min_delta_ns based on the
execution time of the hrtimer callbacks.
This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be
scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks
themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in
the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the
system unusable.
Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the
interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that
fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the
next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things
which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms.
The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler
are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list
Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

The trace_seq buffer might fill up, and right now one needs to check the
return value of each printf into the buffer to check for that.
Instead, have the buffer keep track of whether it is full or not, and
reject more input if it is full or would have overflowed with an input
that wasn't added.

If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next
itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the
function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to
determine leaf functions.
What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function
graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return
of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the
function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer
iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start
entry).
The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the
seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry.
The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start
which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry).
But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph
plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf.
To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the
seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer
fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset
the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover
flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not
call into the plugin print functions.

As scaling now takes place on all kind of cpu add/remove events a user
that configures values via proc should be able to configure if his set
values are still rescaled or kept whatever happens.
As the comments state that log2 was just a second guess that worked the
interface is not just designed for on/off, but to choose a scaling type.
Currently this allows none, log and linear, but more important it allwos
us to keep the interface even if someone has an even better idea how to
scale the values.

Currently we try to do task placement in wake_up_new_task() after we do
the load-balance pass in sched_fork(). This yields complicated semantics
in that we have to deal with tasks on different RQs and the
set_task_cpu() calls in copy_process() and sched_fork()
Rename ->task_new() to ->task_fork() and call it from sched_fork()
before the balancing, this gives the policy a clear point to place the
task.

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.

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

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.
