2011-09-28rcu: Abstract common code for RCU grace-period-wait primitivesPaul E. McKenney
Pull the code that waits for an RCU grace period into a single function, which is then called by synchronize_rcu() and friends in the case of TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, and from rcu_barrier() and friends in the case of TINY_RCU and TINY_PREEMPT_RCU.

2011-09-28rcu: Move rcu_head definition to types.hPaul E. McKenney
Take a first step towards untangling Linux kernel header files by placing the struct rcu_head definition into include/linux/types.h and including include/linux/types.h in include/linux/rcupdate.h where struct rcu_head used to be defined. The actual inclusion point for include/linux/types.h is with the rest of the #include directives rather than at the point where struct rcu_head used to be defined, as suggested by Mathieu Desnoyers. Once this is in place, then header files that need only rcu_head can include types.h rather than rcupdate.h. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-09-28rcu: Restore checks for blocking in RCU read-side critical sectionsPaul E. McKenney
Long ago, using TREE_RCU with PREEMPT would result in "scheduling while atomic" diagnostics if you blocked in an RCU read-side critical section. However, PREEMPT now implies TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which defeats this diagnostic. This commit therefore adds a replacement diagnostic based on PROVE_RCU. Because rcu_lockdep_assert() and lockdep_rcu_dereference() are now being used for things that have nothing to do with rcu_dereference(), rename lockdep_rcu_dereference() to lockdep_rcu_suspicious() and add a third argument that is a string indicating what is suspicious. This third argument is passed in from a new third argument to rcu_lockdep_assert(). Update all calls to rcu_lockdep_assert() to add an informative third argument. Also, add a pair of rcu_lockdep_assert() calls from within rcu_note_context_switch(), one complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-bh read-side critical section and another complaining if a context switch occurs in an RCU-sched read-side critical section. These are present only if the PROVE_RCU kernel parameter is enabled. Finally, fix some checkpatch whitespace complaints in lockdep.c. Again, you must enable PROVE_RCU to see these new diagnostics. But you are enabling PROVE_RCU to check out new RCU uses in any case, aren't you? Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-09-29ptp: fix L2 event message recognitionRichard Cochran
The IEEE 1588 standard defines two kinds of messages, event and general messages. Event messages require time stamping, and general do not. When using UDP transport, two separate ports are used for the two message types. The BPF designed to recognize event messages incorrectly classifies L2 general messages as event messages. This commit fixes the issue by extending the filter to check the message type field for L2 PTP packets. Event messages are be distinguished from general messages by testing the "general" bit.

2011-09-28connector: add comm change event report to proc connectorVladimir Zapolskiy
Add an event to monitor comm value changes of tasks. Such an event becomes vital, if someone desires to control threads of a process in different manner. A natural characteristic of threads is its comm value, and helpfully application developers have an opportunity to change it in runtime. Reporting about such events via proc connector allows to fine-grain monitoring and control potentials, for instance a process control daemon listening to proc connector and following comm value policies can place specific threads to assigned cgroup partitions. It might be possible to achieve a pale partial one-shot likeness without this update, if an application changes comm value of a thread generator task beforehand, then a new thread is cloned, and after that proc connector listener gets the fork event and reads new thread's comm value from procfs stat file, but this change visibly simplifies and extends the matter.

Since commit 7361c36c5224 (af_unix: Allow credentials to work across user and pid namespaces) af_unix performance dropped a lot. This is because we now take a reference on pid and cred in each write(), and release them in read(), usually done from another process, eventually from another cpu.

2011-09-28ASoC: Allow DAI formats to be specified in the dai_linkMark Brown
For almost all machines the DAI format is a constant, always set to the same thing. This means that not only should we normally set it on init rather than in hw_params() (where it has been for historical reasons) we should also allow users to configure this by setting a variable in the dai_link structure. The combination of these two will make many machine drivers even more data driven. Implement a new dai_fmt field in the dai_link doing just that. Since 0 is a valid value for many format flags and we need to be able to tell if the field is actually set also add one to all the values used to configure formats.

2011-09-27vfs: remove LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flagLinus Torvalds
That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points as eagerly any more. Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet. With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat family system calls, old and new. So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a result of our bad default behavior.

2011-09-27clk: provide prepare/unprepare functionsRussell King
As discussed previously, there's the need on some platforms to run some parts of clk_enable() in contexts which can schedule. The solution which was agreed upon was to provide clk_prepare() and clk_unprepare() to contain this parts, while clk_enable() and clk_disable() perform the atomic part. This patch provides a common definition for clk_prepare() and clk_unprepare() in linux/clk.h, and provides an upgrade path for existing implementation and drivers: drivers can start using clk_prepare() and clk_unprepare() once this patch is merged without having to wait for platform support. Platforms can then start to provide these additional functions. Eventually, HAVE_CLK_PREPARE will be removed from the kernel, and everyone will have to provide these new APIs.

2011-09-27tcp: ECN blackhole should not force quickack modeEric Dumazet
While playing with a new ADSL box at home, I discovered that ECN blackhole can trigger suboptimal quickack mode on linux : We send one ACK for each incoming data frame, without any delay and eventual piggyback. This is because TCP_ECN_check_ce() considers that if no ECT is seen on a segment, this is because this segment was a retransmit. Refine this heuristic and apply it only if we seen ECT in a previous segment, to detect ECN blackhole at IP level.

2011-09-26vfs pathname lookup: Add LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flagLinus Torvalds
Since we've now turned around and made LOOKUP_FOLLOW *not* force an automount, we want to add the ability to force an automount event on lookup even if we don't happen to have one of the other flags that force it implicitly (LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY, LOOKUP_PARENT..) Most cases will never want to use this, since you'd normally want to delay automounting as long as possible, which usually implies LOOKUP_OPEN (when we open a file or directory, we really cannot avoid the automount any more). But Trond argued sufficiently forcefully that at a minimum bind mounting a file and quotactl will want to force the automount lookup. Some other cases (like nfs_follow_remote_path()) could use it too, although LOOKUP_DIRECTORY would work there as well. This commit just adds the flag and logic, no users yet, though. It also doesn't actually touch the LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag that is related, and was made irrelevant by the same change that made us not follow on LOOKUP_FOLLOW.

For this reason change the definition of struct pm_subsys_data so that its domain_data member is a pointer, which will allow struct pm_domain_data to be subclassed by various PM domains implementations.

2011-09-25KVM: Intelligent device lookup on I/O busSasha Levin
Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO) is to call the read or write callback for each device registered on the bus until we find a device which handles it. Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO operation. Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear search. Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with 200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits). Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

2011-09-24[media] v4l2: Add polarity flag definitions for the parallel bus FIELD signalSylwester Nawrocki
FIELD signal is used for indicating frame field type to the frame grabber in interlaced scan mode, as specified in ITU-R BT.601 standard. In normal operation mode FIELD = 0 selects Field1 (odd) and FIELD = 1 selects Field2 (even). When the FIELD signal is inverted it's the other way around. Add corresponding flags for configuring the FIELD signal polarity, V4L2_MBUS_FIELD_EVEN_HIGH for the standard (non-inverted) case and V4L2_MBUS_FIELD_EVEN_LOW for inverted case. Also add a comment about usage of V4L2_MBUS_[HV]SYNC* flags for the hardware that uses [HV]REF signals.

2011-09-23pci: Add flag indicating device has been assigned by KVMGreg Rose
Device drivers that create and destroy SR-IOV virtual functions via calls to pci_enable_sriov() and pci_disable_sriov can cause catastrophic failures if they attempt to destroy VFs while they are assigned to guest virtual machines. By adding a flag for use by the KVM module to indicate that a device is assigned a device driver can check that flag and avoid destroying VFs while they are assigned and avoid system failures.
