Impact: reduce kernel image size
Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel
is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops.
Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single
asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem.
Probably should be done for other architectures too.
Ingo then found a better fix that only requires
a single line change, but it unfortunately only
works on gcc 4.3.
On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig
difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.
With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build:
6116998 1138540 883788 8139326 7c323e vmlinux-oi-with-patch
6137043 1138540 883788 8159371 7c808b vmlinux-optimize-inlining
~20k / 0.3% difference.

This reverts commit 7503bfbae8.
Dieter Ries reported bootup soft-hangs and bisected it back to
this commit, and reverting this commit gave him a working system.
The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code,
but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the
hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before
lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the
policy lock taken.
Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack
trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel
place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch.
work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.

Ajith Kumar noticed:
I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear
about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function.
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address);
pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address);
Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending
faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);
We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

We found a situation on Linus' machine that the Nvidia timer quirk hit on
a Intel chipset system. The problem is that the system has a fancy Nvidia
card with an own PCI bridge, and the early-quirks code looking for any
NVidia bridge triggered on it incorrectly. This didn't lead a boot
failure by luck, but the timer routing code selecting the wrong timer
first and some ugly messages. It might lead to real problems on other
systems.
I checked all the devices which are currently checked for by early_quirks
and it turns out they are all located in the root bus zero.
So change the early-quirks loop to only scan bus 0. This incidently also
saves quite some unnecessary scanning work, because early_quirks doesn't
go through all the non root busses.
The graphics card is not on bus 0, so it is not matched anymore.

The new ring buffer implementation allows the storage of samples with
different size. This patch implements the usage of the new sample
format to store ibs samples in the cpu buffer. Until now, writing to
the cpu buffer could lead to incomplete sampling sequences since IBS
samples were transfered in multiple samples. Due to a full buffer,
data could be lost at any time. This can't happen any more since the
complete data is reserved in advance and then stored in a single
sample.

Special events such as task or context switches are marked with an
escape code in the cpu buffer followed by an event code or a task
identifier. There is one escape code per event. To make escape
sequences also available for data samples the internal cpu buffer
format must be changed. The current implementation does not allow the
extension of event codes since this would lead to collisions with the
task identifiers. To avoid this, this patch introduces an event mask
that allows the storage of multiple events with one escape code. Now,
task identifiers are stored in the data section of the sample. The
implementation also allows the usage of custom data in a sample. As a
side effect the new code is much more readable and easier to
understand.

Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.
This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.
In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.

This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.
In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.
Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.
