Fix include/linux/perf_event.h comments to be consistent with the actual #define names. This is trivial, but it can be a bit confusing when first reading through the file.

Turns out that distro packages use this file as an indicator of the perf event subsystem - this is easier to check for from scripts than the existence of the system call. This is easy enough to keep around for the kernel, so add a comment to make sure it stays so.

Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load: . Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate the error to the caller. . Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel, where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o One of the fixed problems: [root@emilia ~]# python >>> import perf Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size >>> [root@emilia ~]# Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1hkj7b2cvgbfnoizsekjb6c9@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

This reverts commit a197b59a. As rmk says: "Commit a197b59a (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured) is causing regressions on ARM with various drivers which use GFP_DMA. The behaviour up until now has been to silently ignore that flag when CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is not enabled, and to allocate from the normal zone. However, as a result of the above commit, such allocations now fail which causes drivers to fail. These are regressions compared to the previous kernel version." so just revert it.

Jens' back-merge commit 698567f3 ("Merge commit 'v2.6.39' into for-2.6.40/core") was incorrectly done, and re-introduced the DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE lines that had been removed earlier in commits - 9fd097b1 ("block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe drivers") - 7eec77a1 ("ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd and ide-cd") because of conflicts with the "g->flags" updates near-by by commit d4dc210f ("block: don't block events on excl write for non-optical devices") As a result, we re-introduced the hanging behavior due to infinite disk media change reports.

The comment in domain_remove_one_dev_info() states "No need to compare PCI domain; it has to be the same". But for the si_domain that isn't going to be true, as it consists of all the PCI devices that are identity mapped thus multiple PCI domains can be in si_domain. The code needs to validate the PCI domain too.

Chris Wright authored
Mike Travis and Mike Habeck reported an issue where iova allocation would return a range that was larger than a device's dma mask. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/29/423 The dmar initialization code will reserve all PCI MMIO regions and copy those reservations into a domain specific iova tree. It is possible for one of those regions to be above the dma mask of a device. It is typical to allocate iovas with a 32bit mask (despite device's dma mask possibly being larger) and cache the result until it exhausts the lower 32bit address space. Freeing the iova range that is >= the last iova in the lower 32bit range when there is still an iova above the 32bit range will corrupt the cached iova by pointing it to a region that is above 32bit. If that region is also larger than the device's dma mask, a subsequent allocation will return an unusable iova and cause dma failure. Simply don't cache an iova that is above the 32bit caching boundary.

When there are a large count of PCI devices, and the pass through option for iommu is set, much time is spent in the identity_mapping function hunting though the iommu domains to check if a specific device is "identity mapped". Speed up the function by checking the cached info to see if it's mapped to the static identity domain.

The identity mapping code appears to make the assumption that if the devices dma_mask is greater than 32bits the device can use identity mapping. But that is not true: take the case where we have a 40bit device in a 44bit architecture. The device can potentially receive a physical address that it will truncate and cause incorrect addresses to be used. Instead check to see if the device's dma_mask is large enough to address the system's dma_mask.

Alex Williamson authored
Commit a97590e5 added unlinking domains from iommus to reciprocate the iommu from domains unlinking that was already done. We actually want to only do this for device domains and never for the static identity map domain or VM domains. The SI domain is special and never freed, while VM domain->id lives in their own special address space, separate from iommu->domain_ids. In the current code, a VM can get domain->id zero, then mark that domain unused when unbound from pci-stub. This leads to DMAR write faults when the device is re-bound to the host driver.

Youquan Song authored
There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping: - size >= 2MiB, and - virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and - physical address aligned to 2MiB, and - on hardware that supports superpages. (and likewise for larger superpages). We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always *unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages. Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page tables freed. Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required. == The original commit seen in the iommu-2.6.git was Youquan's implementation (and completion) of my own half-baked code which I'd typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'. I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment which (hopefully) gives a better explanation of what's going on. The original sequence of commits leading to identical code was: Youquan Song (3): intel-iommu: super page support intel-iommu: Fix superpage alignment calculation error intel-iommu: Fix superpage level calculation error in dma_pfn_level_pte() David Woodhouse (4): intel-iommu: Precalculate superpage support for dmar_domain intel-iommu: Fix hardware_largepage_caps() intel-iommu: Fix inappropriate use of superpages in __domain_mapping() intel-iommu: Fix phys_pfn in __domain_mapping for sglist pages Signed-off-by: Youquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

Commit cc3ce517 (rcu: Start RCU kthreads in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state) fudges a sleeping task' state, resulting in the scheduler seeing a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE task going to sleep, but a TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE task waking up. The result is unbalanced load calculation. The problem that patch tried to address is that the RCU threads could stay in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for quite a while and triggering the hung task detector due to on-demand wake-ups. Cure the problem differently by always giving the tasks at least one wake-up once the CPU is fully up and running, this will kick them out of the initial UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and into the regular INTERRUPTIBLE wait state.

Add an API that tells the other side that callbacks should be delayed until a lot of work has been done. Implement using the new event_idx feature. Note: it might seem advantageous to let the drivers ask for a callback after a specific capacity has been reached. However, as a single head can free many entries in the descriptor table, we don't really have a clue about capacity until get_buf is called. The API is the simplest to implement at the moment, we'll see what kind of hints drivers can pass when there's more than one user of the feature. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
