The commit a1ed5b0cff
(klist: don't iterate over deleted entries) introduces use of the
low bit in a pointer to indicate if the knode is dead or not,
assuming that this bit is always free.
This is not true for all architectures, CRIS for example may align data
on byte borders.
The result is a bunch of warnings on bootup, devices not being
added correctly etc, reported by Hinko Kocevar <hinko.kocevar@cetrtapot.si>:

That works, but we need to do it not for the struct klist_node,
but for the struct we insert into the void * in klist_node,

Impact: New perf_counter features
This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable
counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also
enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned
from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level
counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via
ioctl on the counter file descriptor.
Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to
handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters
will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the
hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a
group in the child task.
In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given
top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added
a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the
list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for
a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex
field.
This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously
the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the
context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock
and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's
child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take
that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take
the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's
state safely, which will lead to a deadlock.
To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context,
and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't
change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now
perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which
incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of
GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new
enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list
of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the
counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter.
We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context
would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were
using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU.
But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero
(because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like
the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in
__perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active'
field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no
counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for
per-cpu contexts.
If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU,
and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the
whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets
moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also
adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on,
or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to
a group.

There is a problem in our handling of suspend-resume of PCI devices that
many of them have their standard config registers restored with
interrupts enabled and they are put into the full power state with
interrupts enabled as well. This may lead to the following scenario:
* an interrupt vector is shared between two or more devices
* one device is resumed earlier and generates an interrupt
* the interrupt handler of another device tries to handle it and
attempts to access the device the config space of which hasn't been
restored yet and/or which still is in a low power state
* the system crashes as a result
To prevent this from happening we should restore the standard
configuration registers of all devices with interrupts disabled and we
should put them into the D0 power state right after that.
Unfortunately, this cannot be done using the existing
pci_set_power_state(), because it can sleep. Also, to do it we have to
make sure that the config spaces of all devices were actually saved
during suspend.

We implement dqget() and dqput() that need neither dqonoff_mutex nor dqptr_sem.
Then move dqget() and dqput() calls so that they are not called from under
dqptr_sem. This is important because filesystem callbacks aren't called from
under dqptr_sem which used to cause *lots* of problems with lock ranking
(and with OCFS2 they became close to unsolvable).
The patch also removes two functions which were introduced solely because OCFS2
needed them to cope with the old locking scheme. As time showed, they were not
enough for OCFS2 anyway and it would be unnecessary work to adapt them to the
new locking scheme in which they aren't needed. As a result OCFS2 needs the
following patch to compile properly with quotas. Sorry to any bisecters which
hit this in advance.

Change mutex contention behaviour such that it will sometimes busy wait on
acquisition - moving its behaviour closer to that of spinlocks.
This concept got ported to mainline from the -rt tree, where it was originally
implemented for rtmutexes by Steven Rostedt, based on work by Gregory Haskins.
Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50)
gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox:
# ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops"
avg ops/sec: 296604
# ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops"
avg ops/sec: 85870
The key criteria for the busy wait is that the lock owner has to be running on
a (different) cpu. The idea is that as long as the owner is running, there is a
fair chance it'll release the lock soon, and thus we'll be better off spinning
instead of blocking/scheduling.
Since regular mutexes (as opposed to rtmutexes) do not atomically track the
owner, we add the owner in a non-atomic fashion and deal with the races in
the slowpath.
Furthermore, to ease the testing of the performance impact of this new code,
there is means to disable this behaviour runtime (without having to reboot
the system), when scheduler debugging is enabled (CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y),
by issuing the following command:
# echo NO_OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features
This command re-enables spinning again (this is also the default):
# echo OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features

The problem is that dropping the spinlock right before schedule is a voluntary
preemption point and can cause a schedule, right after which we schedule again.
Fix this inefficiency by keeping preemption disabled until we schedule, do this
by explicity disabling preemption and providing a schedule() variant that
assumes preemption is already disabled.

This assertion is incorrect for lockless pagecache. By definition if we

freed, then reallocated as a compound page).
It was still a valid assertion for the vmscan.c LRU isolation case, but
it doesn't seem incredibly helpful... if somebody wants it, they can
put it back directly where it applies in the vmscan code.

With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void. But that doesn't
matter since the system call doesn't return.

Define FTRACE_ADDR. In IA64, a function pointer isn't a 'unsigned long' but a
'struct {unsigned long ip, unsigned long gp}'.

At run-time, if softlockup_thresh is changed to a much lower value,
touch_timestamp is likely to be much older than the new softlock_thresh.
This will cause a false softlockup to be detected. If softlockup_panic
is enabled, the system will panic.
The fix is to touch all watchdogs before changing softlockup_thresh.

Impact: New perf_counter features
A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU
whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for
a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system
cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where
it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0
bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made
readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we
have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able
to reset the error state on individual groups.
An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group
using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The
counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there
are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups
onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement
does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can
always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on).
With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU
registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will
perturb other measurements.
Along the way this reorganizes things a little:
- is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h.
- cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on
the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading
cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless.
- A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an
exclusive group on the CPU.
- counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called
from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task,
where we used to have essentially the same code.
- __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing
the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in
the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance
to be scheduled in.
Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that
attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in
some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other
group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that
restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than
to apply a new one.
This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited
and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not
propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it
should.

reorder struct xt_match to remove 8 bytes of padding and make its size
128 bytes.
This saves a small amount of data space in each of the xt netfilter
modules and fits xt_match in one 128 byte cache line.
