Impact: implement new performance feature

Counter inheritance can be used to run performance counters in a workload,
transparently - and pipe back the counter results to the parent counter.

Inheritance for performance counters works the following way: when creating
a counter it can be marked with the .inherit=1 flag. Such counters are then
'inherited' by all child tasks (be they fork()-ed or clone()-ed). These
counters get inherited through exec() boundaries as well (except through
setuid boundaries).

The counter values get added back to the parent counter(s) when the child
task(s) exit - much like stime/utime statistics are gathered. So inherited
counters are ideal to gather summary statistics about an application's
behavior via shell commands, without having to modify that application.

The timec.c command utilizes counter inheritance:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/perfcounters/timec.c

Sample output:

   $ ./timec -e 1 -e 3 -e 5 ls -lR /usr/include/ >/dev/null

   Performance counter stats for 'ls':

           163516953 instructions
                2295 cache-misses
             2855182 branch-misses

Impact: add new perf-counter type

The 'task clock' counter counts the amount of time a task is executing,
in nanoseconds. It stops ticking when a task is scheduled out either due
to it blocking, sleeping or it being preempted.

This counter type is a Linux kernel based abstraction, it is available
even if the hardware does not support native hardware performance counters.

Impact: add new perf-counter type

The 'CPU clock' counter counts the amount of CPU clock time that is

Impact: restructure code, introduce hw_ops driver abstraction

Introduce this abstraction to handle counter details:

 struct hw_perf_counter_ops {
	void (*hw_perf_counter_enable)	(struct perf_counter *counter);
	void (*hw_perf_counter_disable)	(struct perf_counter *counter);
	void (*hw_perf_counter_read)	(struct perf_counter *counter);
 };

This will be useful to support assymetric hw details, and it will also
be useful to implement "software counters". (Counters that count kernel
managed sw events such as pagefaults, context-switches, wall-clock time
or task-local time.)

Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: add group counters

This patch adds the "counter groups" abstraction.

Groups of counters behave much like normal 'single' counters, with a
few semantic and behavioral extensions on top of that.

A counter group is created by creating a new counter with the open()
syscall's group-leader group_fd file descriptor parameter pointing
to another, already existing counter.

Groups of counters are scheduled in and out in one atomic group, and
they are also roundrobin-scheduled atomically.

Counters that are member of a group can also record events with an
(atomic) extended timestamp that extends to all members of the group,
if the record type is set to PERF_RECORD_GROUP.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: clean up new API

Thorough cleanup of the new perf counters API, we now get clean separation
of the various concepts:

 - introduce perf_counter_hw_event to separate out the event source details

 - move special type flags into separate attributes: PERF_COUNT_NMI,
   PERF_COUNT_RAW

 - extend the type to u64 and reserve it fully to the architecture in the
   raw type case.

And make use of all these changes in the core and x86 perfcounters code.

Also change the syscall signature to:

  asmlinkage int sys_perf_counter_open(

	struct perf_counter_hw_event	*hw_event_uptr		__user,
	pid_t				pid,
	int				cpu,
	int				group_fd);

( Note that group_fd is unused for now - it's reserved for the counter
  groups abstraction. )

  sched: CPU remove deadlock fix

Lee Schermerhorn noticed yesterday that I broke the mapping_writably_mapped
test in 2.6.7!  Bad bad bug, good good find.

The i_mmap_writable count must be incremented for VM_SHARED (just as
i_writecount is for VM_DENYWRITE, but while holding the i_mmap_lock)
when dup_mmap() copies the vma for fork: it has its own more optimal
version of __vma_link_file(), and I missed this out.  So the count
was later going down to 0 (dangerous) when one end unmapped, then
wrapping negative (inefficient) when the other end unmapped.

The only impact on x86 would have been that setting a mandatory lock on
a file which has at some time been opened O_RDWR and mapped MAP_SHARED
(but not necessarily PROT_WRITE) across a fork, might fail with -EAGAIN
when it should succeed, or succeed when it should fail.

But those architectures which rely on flush_dcache_page() to flush
userspace modifications back into the page before the kernel reads it,
may in some cases have skipped the flush after such a fork - though any
repetitive test will soon wrap the count negative, in which case it will
flush_dcache_page() unnecessarily.

Fix would be a two-liner, but mapping variable added, and comment moved.

Discard low-prioriy Tx interrupts when closing an MN10300 on-chip serial port.

The MN10300 on-chip serial port uses three interrupts to manage its serial
ports:

 (1) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Rx.

 (2) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Tx.

 (3) A normal priority virtual interrupt that does the normal UART interrupt
     stuff and is shared between Rx and Tx.

mn10300_serial_stop_tx() only disables the high priority Tx interrupt.  It
doesn't also disable the normal priority one because it is shared with Rx.

However, the high priority interrupt may interrupt local_irq_disabled()
sections, and so may have queued up a low priority virtual interrupt whilst the
UART driver is asking for the Tx interrupt to be disabled.

The result of this can be an oops when we try to process the interrupt in
mn10300_serial_transmit_interrupt() as port->uart.info and port->uart.info->tty
may have gone away.

To deal with this, if either of those pointers is NULL, we make sure the
high-priority Tx interrupt is disabled and discard the interrupt.  The low
priority interrupt is disabled by the mn10300_serial_pic irq_chip table.

The pktcdvd created class devices only export some sysfs files,
but have no char dev_t registered in the driver.

At class device creation time they copy the dev_t value of the
block device to the char device, wich will register a new char
device in the driver core and userspace, with a conflicting dev_t
value.

In many cases the class devices dev_t just points to a random
USB device. This fixes the sysfs "duplicate entry" errors.
