      USB: EHCI: fix build error in ehci-mxc · dba63b2f
      Alan Stern authored 
      This patch (as1643b) fixes a build error in ehci-hcd when compiling for
ARM with allmodconfig:

drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1285:0: warning: "PLATFORM_DRIVER" redefined [enabled by default]
drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1255:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
drivers/usb/host/ehci-mxc.c:280:31: warning: 'ehci_mxc_driver' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]

drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1255:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition

The fix is to convert ehci-mxc over to the new "ehci-hcd is a library"
scheme so that it can coexist peacefully with the ehci-platform
driver.  As part of the conversion the ehci_mxc_priv data structure,
which was allocated dynamically, is now placed where it belongs: in
the private area at the end of struct ehci_hcd.

      ALSA: hda - Fix inconsistent pin states after resume · 31614bb8
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      The commit [26a6cb6c: ALSA: hda - Implement a poll loop for jacks as a
module parameter] introduced the polling jack detection code, but it
also moved the call of snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() in the resume path
after resume/init ops call.  This caused a regression when the jack
state has been changed during power-down (e.g. in the power save
mode).  Since the driver doesn't probe the new jack state but keeps
using the cached value due to no dirty flag, the pin state remains
also as if the jack is still plugged.

The fix is simply moving snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() to the original
position.

      ring-buffer: Remove trace.h from ring_buffer.c · 0b07436d
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      ring_buffer.c use to require declarations from trace.h, but
these have moved to the generic header files. There's nothing
in trace.h that ring_buffer.c requires.

There's some headers that trace.h included that ring_buffer.c
needs, but it's best that it includes them directly, and not
include trace.h.

Also, some things may use ring_buffer.c without having tracing
configured. This removes the dependency that may come in the
future.

      ftrace: Use only the preempt version of function tracing · 897f68a4
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      The function tracer had two different versions of function tracing.

The disabling of irqs version and the preempt disable version.

As function tracing in very intrusive and can cause nasty recursion
issues, it has its own recursion protection. But the old method to
do this was a flat layer. If it detected that a recursion was happening
then it would just return without recording.

This made the preempt version (much faster than the irq disabling one)
not very useful, because if an interrupt were to occur after the
recursion flag was set, the interrupt would not be traced at all,
because every function that was traced would think it recursed on
itself (due to the context it preempted setting the recursive flag).

Now that we have a recursion flag for every context level, we
no longer need to worry about that. We can disable preemption,
set the current context recursion check bit, and go on. If an
interrupt were to come along, it would check its own context bit
and happily continue to trace.

As the preempt version is faster than the irq disable version,
there's no more reason to keep the preempt version around.
And the irq disable version still had an issue with missing
out on tracing NMI code.

Remove the irq disable function tracer version and have the
preempt disable version be the default (and only version).

Before this patch we had from running:

 # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
 # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done
Time: 12.028

Time: 11.944
Time: 11.929
Time: 11.941
Time: 11.924

(average: 11.9512)

Now we have:

 # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
 # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done
Time: 10.285

      tracing: Avoid unnecessary multiple recursion checks · edc15caf
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      When function tracing occurs, the following steps are made:
  If arch does not support a ftrace feature:
   call internal function (uses INTERNAL bits) which calls...
  If callback is registered to the "global" list, the list
   function is called and recursion checks the GLOBAL bits.
   then this function calls...
  The function callback, which can use the FTRACE bits to
   check for recursion.

Now if the arch does not suppport a feature, and it calls
the global list function which calls the ftrace callback
all three of these steps will do a recursion protection.
There's no reason to do one if the previous caller already
did. The recursion that we are protecting against will
go through the same steps again.

To prevent the multiple recursion checks, if a recursion
bit is set that is higher than the MAX bit of the current
check, then we know that the check was made by the previous
caller, and we can skip the current check.

      ftrace: Add context level recursion bit checking · c29f122c
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      Currently for recursion checking in the function tracer, ftrace
tests a task_struct bit to determine if the function tracer had
recursed or not. If it has, then it will will return without going
further.

But this leads to races. If an interrupt came in after the bit
was set, the functions being traced would see that bit set and
think that the function tracer recursed on itself, and would return.

Instead add a bit for each context (normal, softirq, irq and nmi).

A check of which context the task is in is made before testing the
associated bit. Now if an interrupt preempts the function tracer
after the previous context has been set, the interrupt functions
can still be traced.

      ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loop · 0a016409
      Steven Rostedt authored 
      There is lots of places that perform:

       op = rcu_dereference_raw(ftrace_control_list);
       while (op != &ftrace_list_end) {

Add a helper macro to do this, and also optimize for a single
entity. That is, gcc will optimize a loop for either no iterations
or more than one iteration. But usually only a single callback
is registered to the function tracer, thus the optimized case
should be a single pass. to do this we now do:

	op = rcu_dereference_raw(list);
	do {
		[...]
	} while (likely(op = rcu_dereference_raw((op)->next)) &&
	       unlikely((op) != &ftrace_list_end));

An op is always registered (ftrace_list_end when no callbacks is
registered), thus when a single callback is registered, the link
list looks like:

 top => callback => ftrace_list_end => NULL.

The likely(op = op->next) still must be performed due to the race
of removing the callback, where the first op assignment could
equal ftrace_list_end. In that case, the op->next would be NULL.
But this is unlikely (only happens in a race condition when
removing the callback).

But it is very likely that the next op would be ftrace_list_end,
unless more than one callback has been registered. This tells
gcc what the most common case is and makes the fast path with
the least amount of branches.
