Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/perfcounters into perfcounters/core

This adds support for tracing callchains for powerpc, both 32-bit
and 64-bit, and both in the kernel and userspace, from PMU interrupt
context.

The first three entries stored for each callchain are the NIP (next
instruction pointer), LR (link register), and the contents of the LR
save area in the second stack frame (the first is ignored because the
ABI convention on powerpc is that functions save their return address
in their caller's stack frame).  Because leaf functions don't have to
save their return address (LR value) and don't have to establish a
stack frame, it's possible for either or both of LR and the second
stack frame's LR save area to have valid return addresses in them.
This is basically impossible to disambiguate without either reading
the code or looking at auxiliary information such as CFI tables.
Since we don't want to do either of those things at interrupt time,
we store both LR and the second stack frame's LR save area.

Once we get past the second stack frame, there is no ambiguity; all
return addresses we get are reliable.

For kernel traces, we check whether they are valid kernel instruction
addresses and store zero instead if they are not (rather than
omitting them, which would make it impossible for userspace to know
which was which).  We also store zero instead of the second stack
frame's LR save area value if it is the same as LR.

For kernel traces, we check for interrupt frames, and for user traces,
we check for signal frames.  In each case, since we're starting a new
trace, we store a PERF_CONTEXT_KERNEL/USER marker so that userspace
knows that the next three entries are NIP, LR and the second stack frame
for the interrupted context.

We read user memory with __get_user_inatomic.  On 64-bit, if this
PMU interrupt occurred while interrupts are soft-disabled, and
there is no MMU hash table entry for the page, we will get an
-EFAULT return from __get_user_inatomic even if there is a valid
Linux PTE for the page, since hash_page isn't reentrant.  Thus we
have code here to read the Linux PTE and access the page via the
kernel linear mapping.  Since 64-bit doesn't use (or need) highmem
there is no need to do kmap_atomic.  On 32-bit, we don't do soft
interrupt disabling, so this complication doesn't occur and there
is no need to fall back to reading the Linux PTE, since hash_page
(or the TLB miss handler) will get called automatically if necessary.

Note that we cannot get PMU interrupts in the interval during
context switch between switch_mm (which switches the user address
space) and switch_to (which actually changes current to the new
process).  On 64-bit this is because interrupts are hard-disabled
in switch_mm and stay hard-disabled until they are soft-enabled
later, after switch_to has returned.  So there is no possibility
of trying to do a user stack trace when the user address space is
not current's address space.

This provides a mechanism to allow the perf_counters code to access
user memory in a PMU interrupt routine.  Such an access can cause
various kinds of interrupt: SLB miss, MMU hash table miss, segment
table miss, or TLB miss, depending on the processor.  This commit
only deals with 64-bit classic/server processors, which use an MMU
hash table.  32-bit processors are already able to access user memory
at interrupt time.  Since we don't soft-disable on 32-bit, we avoid
the possibility of reentering hash_page or the TLB miss handlers,
since they run with interrupts disabled.

On 64-bit processors, an SLB miss interrupt on a user address will
update the slb_cache and slb_cache_ptr fields in the paca.  This is
OK except in the case where a PMU interrupt occurs in switch_slb,
which also accesses those fields.  To prevent this, we hard-disable
interrupts in switch_slb.  Interrupts are already soft-disabled at
this point, and will get hard-enabled when they get soft-enabled
later.

This also reworks slb_flush_and_rebolt: to avoid hard-disabling twice,
and to make sure that it clears the slb_cache_ptr when called from
other callers than switch_slb, the existing routine is renamed to
__slb_flush_and_rebolt, which is called by switch_slb and the new
version of slb_flush_and_rebolt.

Similarly, switch_stab (used on POWER3 and RS64 processors) gets a
hard_irq_disable() to protect the per-cpu variables used there and
in ste_allocate.

If a MMU hashtable miss interrupt occurs, normally we would call
hash_page to look up the Linux PTE for the address and create a HPTE.
However, hash_page is fairly complex and takes some locks, so to
avoid the possibility of deadlock, we check the preemption count
to see if we are in a (pseudo-)NMI handler, and if so, we don't call
hash_page but instead treat it like a bad access that will get
reported up through the exception table mechanism.  An interrupt
whose handler runs even though the interrupt occurred when
soft-disabled (such as the PMU interrupt) is considered a pseudo-NMI
handler, which should use nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() rather than
irq_enter()/irq_exit().

On 32-bit systems with 64-bit PTEs, the PTEs have to be written in two
32-bit halves.  On SMP we write the higher-order half and then the
lower-order half, with a write barrier between the two halves, but on
UP there was no particular ordering of the writes to the two halves.

This extends the ordering that we already do on SMP to the UP case as
well.  The reason is that with the perf_counter subsystem potentially
accessing user memory at interrupt time to get stack traces, we have
to be careful not to create an incorrect but apparently valid PTE even
on UP.

The soon coming perf trace needs to use printf with dynamically
built formats.

But we are using -Wformat=2 which is a shortcut for the
following set: -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k
-Wformat-nonliteral

-Wformat-nonliteral warns when it can't check formats because
they are not builtin constant strings, but we want to feature
dynamic formats. What we want instead is Wformat=2 minus
-Wformat-nonliteral, which is what this patch does.

Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed
that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have
helped us avoid the bug.

So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on
perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra
-std=gnu99 warnings:

 -Wcast-align
 -Wformat=2
 -Wshadow
 -Winit-self
 -Wpacked
 -Wredundant-decls
 -Wstack-protector
 -Wstrict-aliasing=3
 -Wswitch-default
 -Wswitch-enum
 -Wno-system-headers
 -Wundef
 -Wvolatile-register-var
 -Wwrite-strings
 -Wbad-function-cast
 -Wmissing-declarations
 -Wmissing-prototypes
 -Wnested-externs
 -Wold-style-definition
 -Wstrict-prototypes
 -Wdeclaration-after-statement

And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2.

The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based
on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on
perf.

I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them
and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build.
If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something
that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning.

If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming
the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them
off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in
this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign
warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.)

I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage
description and which produced no actual warnings on our code
base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up
being a nuisance.

I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older
compilers.

[ Note that these changes might break the build on older
  compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that
  produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ]

free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt
is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL
unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in
handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up
the handler thread.

Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No
need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be
freed anyway.

This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the
mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.

Convert the AP325RXA board code to register devices at
arch_initcall() time instead of device_initcall(). This
fix unbreaks pcf8563 RTC driver support.

Convert the processor platform device setup
functions from __initcall() and sometimes
device_initcall() to arch_initcall().

This makes sure that the platform devices are
registered a bit earlier so the devices are
available when drivers register using initcall
levels earlier than device_initcall().

A good example is platform devices needed by
i2c-sh_mobile.c which registers a bit earlier
using subsys_initcall().

Normally we only allow the upper limit for a reshape to be decreased
when the array not performing a sync/recovery/reshape, otherwise there
could be races.  But if an array is part-way through a reshape when it
is assembled the reshape is started immediately leaving no window
to set an upper bound.

If the array is started read-only, the reshape will be suspended until
the array becomes writable, so that provides a window during which it
is perfectly safe to reduce the upper limit of a reshape.

So: allow the upper limit (sync_max) to be reduced even if the reshape
thread is running, as long as the array is still read-only.

We were removing the drives, from the array, but not
removing symlinks from /sys/.... and not marking the device
as having been removed.

This "if" don't allow for the possibility that the number of devices
doesn't change, and so sector_nr isn't set correctly in that case.
So change '>' to '>='.

md/raid5 doesn't allow a reshape to restart if it involves writing
over the same part of disk that it would be reading from.
This happens at the beginning of a reshape that increases the number
of devices, at the end of a reshape that decreases the number of
devices, and continuously for a reshape that does not change the
number of devices.

The current code is correct for the "increase number of devices"
case as the critical section at the start is handled by userspace
performing a backup.

It does not work for reducing the number of devices, or the
no-change case.
For 'reducing', we need to invert the test.  For no-change we cannot
really be sure things will be safe, so simply require the array
to be read-only, which is how the user-space code which carefully
starts such arrays works.
