      Driver-Core: fix devnode callbacks for dabusb and industrialio · 388dba30

      The build of the dabusb driver broke:
      
        drivers/media/video/dabusb.c:758: error: unknown field 'nodename' specified in initializer
        drivers/media/video/dabusb.c:758: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
        make[3]: *** wait: No child processes.  Stop.
      
      Due to this commit:
      
        e454cea2: Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions
      
      Missing the dabusb driver's dabusb_nodename() callback.
      
      Similar issues with the iio/industrialio driver in staging, pointed out
      and patched by Jean Delvare.

      nfs: initialize the backing_dev_info when creating the server · 48d07649
      Jens Axboe authored
      NFS may free the server structure without ever having used the
      bdi, so we either need to flag the bdi as being uninitialized or
      initialize it up front. This does the latter.
      
      This fixes a crash with mounting more than one NFS file system,
      should people ever need that kind of obscure NFS functionality.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar authored
      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. )

      perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list · 65abc865
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This is in preparation of the big rename, but also makes sense
      in a standalone way: 'list_entry' is a bad name as we already
      have a list_entry() in list.h.
      
      Also, the 'counter list' is too vague, it doesnt tell us the
      purpose of that list.
      
      Clarify these names to show that it's all about the group
      hiearchy.

      By removing the need for it to know details of scheduling classes.
      
      This allows PlugSched to define orthogonal scheduling classes.

      perf_counter, powerpc, sparc: Fix compilation after perf_counter_overflow() change · cd74c86b
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Commit 5622f295 ("x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow
      handling") removed the regs field from struct perf_sample_data and
      added a regs parameter to perf_counter_overflow().  This breaks the
      build on powerpc (and Sparc) as reported by Sachin Sant:
      
        arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c: In function 'record_and_restart':
        arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c:1165: error: unknown field 'regs' specified in initializer
      
      This adjusts arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c to correspond with the
      new struct perf_sample_data and perf_counter_overflow().
      
      [ v2: also fix Sparc, Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> ]

      drm/vgaarb: add VGA arbitration support to the drm and kms. · 28d52043
      Dave Airlie authored
      VGA arb requires DRM support for non-kms drivers, to turn on/off
      irqs when disabling the mem/io regions.
      
      VGA arb requires KMS support for GPUs where we can turn off VGA
      decoding. Currently we know how to do this for intel and radeon
      kms drivers, which allows them to be removed from the arbiter.
      
      This patch comes from Fedora rawhide kernel.
