Impact: ABI change This expands several fields in the perf_counter_hw_event struct and adds a "flags" argument to the perf_counter_open system call, in order that features can be added in future without ABI changes. In particular the record_type field is expanded to 64 bits, and the space for flag bits has been expanded from 32 to 64 bits. This also adds some new fields: * read_format (64 bits) is intended to provide a way to specify what userspace wants to get back when it does a read() on a simple (non-interrupting) counter; * exclude_idle (1 bit) provides a way for userspace to ask that events that occur when the cpu is idle be excluded; * extra_config_len will provide a way for userspace to supply an arbitrary amount of extra machine-specific PMU configuration data immediately following the perf_counter_hw_event struct, to allow sophisticated users to program things such as instruction matching CAMs and address range registers; * __reserved_3 and __reserved_4 provide space for future expansion.

This fixes three issues noticed by Arnd Bergmann: - Add #ifdef __KERNEL__ and move some things around in perf_counter.h to make sure only the bits that userspace needs are exported to userspace. - Use __u64, __s64, __u32 types in the structs exported to userspace rather than u64, s64, u32. - Make the sys_perf_counter_open syscall available to the SPUs on Cell platforms. And one issue that I noticed in looking at the code again: - Wrap the perf_counter_open syscall with SYSCALL_DEFINE4 so we get the proper handling of int arguments on ppc64 (and some other 64-bit architectures).

This adds the back-end for the PMU on the POWER5 processor. This knows how to use the fixed-function PMC5 and PMC6 (instructions completed and run cycles). Unlike POWER6, PMC5/6 obey the freeze conditions and can generate interrupts, so their use doesn't impose any extra restrictions. POWER5+ is different and is not supported by this patch.

io_mapping_create_wc should take a resource_size_t parameter in place of unsigned long. With unsigned long, there will be no way to map greater than 4GB address in i386/32 bit. On x86, greater than 4GB addresses cannot be mapped on i386 without PAE. Return error for such a case. Patch also adds a structure for io_mapping, that saves the base, size and type on HAVE_ATOMIC_IOMAP archs, that can be used to verify the offset on io_mapping_map calls.

Impact: fix unexpected behaviour when pattern number is out of range Current implementation provides 4 patterns for memtest. The code doesn't check whether the memtest parameter value exceeds the maximum pattern number. Instead the memtest code pretends to test with non-existing patterns, e.g. when booting with memtest=10 I've observed the following ... early_memtest: pattern num 10 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 0 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 1 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 2 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 3 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 4 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 5 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 6 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 7 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 8 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 9 ... But in fact Linux didn't test anything for patterns > 4 as the default case in memtest() is to leave the function. I suggest to use the memtest parameter as the number of tests to be performed and to re-iterate over all existing patterns.

Impact: make more types of copies non-temporal This change makes the following simple fix: 30d697fa: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall A bit more sophisticated: we check the 'total' number of bytes written to decide whether to copy in a cached or a non-temporal way. This will for example cause the tail (modulo 4096 bytes) chunk of a large write() to be non-temporal too - not just the page-sized chunks.

Impact: cleanup, enable future change Add a 'total bytes copied' parameter to __copy_from_user_*nocache(), and update all the callsites. The parameter is not used yet - architecture code can use it to more intelligently decide whether the copy should be cached or non-temporal.
