Having run into the run-(boot-)time check a couple of times lately,
I finally took time to find a build-time check so that one doesn't
need to analyze the register/stack dump and resolve this (through
manual lookup in vmlinux) to the offending construct.
The assembler will emit a message like "Error: value of <num> too
large for field of 1 bytes at <offset>", which while not pointing
out the source location still makes analysis quite a bit easier.

On x86-64, copy_[to|from]_user() rely on assembly routines that
never call might_fault(), making us missing various lockdep
checks.
This doesn't apply to __copy_from,to_user() that explicitly
handle these calls, neither is it a problem in x86-32 where
copy_to,from_user() rely on the "__" prefixed versions that
also call might_fault().

This v2.6.26 commit:
ad2fc2c: x86: fix copy_user on x86
rendered __copy_from_user_inatomic() identical to
copy_user_generic(), yet didn't make the former just call the
latter from an inline function.
Furthermore, this v2.6.19 commit:
b885808: [PATCH] Add proper sparse __user casts to __copy_to_user_inatomic
converted the return type of __copy_to_user_inatomic() from
unsigned long to int, but didn't do the same to
__copy_from_user_inatomic().

A previous patch added the buffer size check to copy_from_user().
One of the things learned from analyzing the result of the previous
patch is that in general, gcc is really good at proving that the
code contains sufficient security checks to not need to do a
runtime check. But that for those cases where gcc could not prove
this, there was a relatively high percentage of real security
issues.
This patch turns the case of "gcc cannot prove" into a compile time
warning, as long as a sufficiently new gcc is in use that supports
this. The objective is that these warnings will trigger developers
checking new cases out before a security hole enters a linux kernel
release.

GCC provides reasonable memset/memcpy functions itself, with __builtin_memset
and __builtin_memcpy. For the "unknown" cases, it'll fall back to our
current existing functions, but for fixed size versions it'll inline
something smart. Quite often that will be the same as we have now,
but sometimes it can do something smarter (for example, if the code
then sets the first member of a struct, it can do a shorter memset).
In addition, and this is more important, gcc knows which registers and
such are not clobbered (while for our asm version it pretty much
acts like a compiler barrier), so for various cases it can avoid reloading
values.
The effect on codesize is shown below on my typical laptop .config:
text data bss dec hex filename
5605675 2041100 6525148 14171923 d83f13 vmlinux.before
5595849 2041668 6525148 14162665 d81ae9 vmlinux.after
Due to some not-so-good behavior in the gcc 3.x series, this change
is only done for GCC 4.x and above.

copy_from_user()
gcc (4.x) supports the __builtin_object_size() builtin, which
reports the size of an object that a pointer point to, when known
at compile time. If the buffer size is not known at compile time, a
constant -1 is returned.
This patch uses this feature to add a sanity check to
copy_from_user(); if the target buffer is known to be smaller than
the copy size, the copy is aborted and a WARNing is emitted in
memory debug mode.
These extra checks compile away when the object size is not known,
or if both the buffer size and the copy length are constants.

cpumask_of_node for !NUMA, even though they are then declared as
macros by asm-generic/topology.h, which is #included just below.
The macros (which are the same) end up being used; these functions

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Fixed up conflict in arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_64.c due to OF device tree
scanning having been moved and merged for the 32- and 64-bit cases. The
'needs_freset' initialization added in 6e19314cc ("PCI/powerpc: support
PCIe fundamental reset") is now in arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_of_scan.c.

Sysbench thinks SD_BALANCE_WAKE is too agressive and kbuild doesn't
really mind too much, SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE picks up most of the
slack.
On a dual socket, quad core, dual thread nehalem system:
sysbench (--num_threads=16):
SD_BALANCE_WAKE-: 13982 tx/s
SD_BALANCE_WAKE+: 15688 tx/s
kbuild (-j16):
SD_BALANCE_WAKE-: 47.648295846 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.312% )
SD_BALANCE_WAKE+: 47.608607360 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.026% )
(same within noise)

get/set_wallclock() have already a set of platform dependent
implementations (default, EFI, paravirt). MRST will add another
variant.
Moving them to platform ops simplifies the existing code and minimizes
the effort to integrate new variants.

Move some of the aperf/mperf code out from the cpufreq driver

Make the idle balancer more agressive, to improve a
x264 encoding workload provided by Jason Garrett-Glaser:
NEXT_BUDDY NO_LB_BIAS
encoded 600 frames, 252.82 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
encoded 600 frames, 250.69 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
encoded 600 frames, 245.76 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
NO_NEXT_BUDDY LB_BIAS
encoded 600 frames, 344.44 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
encoded 600 frames, 346.66 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
encoded 600 frames, 352.59 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
NO_NEXT_BUDDY NO_LB_BIAS
encoded 600 frames, 425.75 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
encoded 600 frames, 425.45 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
encoded 600 frames, 422.49 fps, 22096.60 kb/s
Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx,
not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where
there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago.
Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies
means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions)
This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.

the use of wake_idx, restore that and set them to 0 to make wake
balancing more aggressive.
