5cb3d1d9d3 tracing, net, skb tracepoint: make skb tracepoint use the TRACE_EVENT() macro
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define a tracepoint.
Doing so adds these new capabilities to this tracepoint:

  - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions

e71e99c294 x86, function-graph: only save return values on x86_64
Impact: speed up

The return to handler portion of the function graph tracer should only
need to save the return values. The caller already saved off the
registers that the callee can modify. The returning function already
saved the registers it modified. When we call our own trace function
it too will save the registers that the callee must restore.

There's no reason to save off anything more that the registers used
to return the values.

Note, I did a complete kernel build with this modification and the
function graph tracer running on x86_64.

2062501ae6 tracing/lockdep: report the time waited for a lock
While trying to optimize the new lock on reiserfs to replace
the bkl, I find the lock tracing very useful though it lacks
something important for performance (and latency) instrumentation:
the time a task waits for a lock.

That's what this patch implements:

  bash-4816  [000]   202.652815: lock_contended: lock_contended: &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key
  bash-4816  [000]   202.652819: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us)
 <...>-4787  [000]   202.652825: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us)
 <...>-4787  [000]   202.652829: lock_acquired: &rq->lock (0.000 us)
  bash-4816  [000]   202.652833: lock_acquired: &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key (16.005 us)

As shown above, the "lock acquired" field is followed by the time
it has been waiting for the lock. Usually, a lock contended entry
is followed by a near lock_acquired entry with a non-zero time waited.

93cfb3c9fd tracing: fix splice return too large
I got these from strace:

 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 16384
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192
 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192

I wanted to splice_read 4096 bytes, but it returns 8192 or larger.

It is because the return value of tracing_buffers_splice_read()
does not include "zero out any left over data" bytes.

But tracing_buffers_read() includes these bytes, we make them
consistent.

c7625a555f tracing: update file->f_pos when splice(2) it
Impact: Cleanup

These two lines:

	if (unlikely(*ppos))
		return -ESPIPE;

in tracing_buffers_splice_read() are not needed, VFS layer
has disabled seek(2).

We remove these two lines, and then we can update file->f_pos.

And tracing_buffers_read() updates file->f_pos, this fix
make tracing_buffers_splice_read() updates file->f_pos too.

d1e7e02f30 tracing: disable seeking for trace_pipe_raw
Impact: disable pread()

We set tracing_buffers_fops.llseek to no_llseek,
but we can still perform pread() to read this file.

That is not expected.

This fix uses nonseekable_open() to disable it.

tracing_buffers_fops.llseek is still set to no_llseek,
it mark this file is a "non-seekable device" and is used by
sys_splice(). See also do_splice() or manual of splice(2):

ERRORS
       EINVAL Target file system doesn't support  splicing;
              neither  of the descriptors refers to a pipe;

34574dd10b keys: Handle there being no fallback destination keyring for request_key()
When request_key() is called, without there being any standard process
keyrings on which to fall back if a destination keyring is not specified, an
oops is liable to occur when construct_alloc_key() calls down_write() on
dest_keyring's semaphore.

Due to function inlining this may be seen as an oops in down_write() as called
from request_key_and_link().

This situation crops up during boot, where request_key() is called from within
the kernel (such as in CIFS mounts) where nobody is actually logged in, and so
PAM has not had a chance to create a session keyring and user keyrings to act
as the fallback.

To fix this, make construct_alloc_key() not attempt to cache a key if there is
no fallback key if no destination keyring is given specifically.

e3c8ca8336 sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load
Freezing tasks via the cgroup freezer causes the load average to climb
because the freezer's current implementation puts frozen tasks in
uninterruptible sleep (D state).

Some applications which perform job-scheduling functions consult the
load average when making decisions.  If a cgroup is frozen, the load
average does not provide a useful measure of the system's utilization
to such applications.  This is especially inconvenient if the job
scheduler employs the cgroup freezer as a mechanism for preempting low
priority jobs.  Contrast this with using SIGSTOP for the same purpose:
the stopped tasks do not count toward system load.

Change task_contributes_to_load() to return false if the task is
frozen.  This results in /proc/loadavg behavior that better meets
users' expectations.

[...]

sys_ia32.c includes linux/syscalls.h which in turn includes linux/ftrace.h
to import the syscalls tracing prototypes.

But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file,
especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher
level headers.

Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

6b44003e5c work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demand
Impact: circular locking bugfix

The various implemetnations and proposed implemetnations of work_on_cpu()
are vulnerable to various deadlocks because they all used queues of some
form.

Unrelated pieces of kernel code thus gained dependencies wherein if one
work_on_cpu() caller holds a lock which some other work_on_cpu() callback
also takes, the kernel could rarely deadlock.

Fix this by creating a short-lived kernel thread for each work_on_cpu()
invokation.

This is not terribly fast, but the only current caller of work_on_cpu() is
pci_call_probe().

It would be nice to find some other way of doing the node-local
allocations in the PCI probe code so that we can zap work_on_cpu()
altogether.  The code there is rather nasty.  I can't think of anything
simple at this time...

1c99315bb3 kthread: move sched-realeted initialization from kthreadd context
kthreadd is the single thread which implements ths "create" request, move
sched_setscheduler/etc from create_kthread() to kthread_create() to
improve the scalability.

We should be careful with sched_setscheduler(), use _nochek helper.

340cd44451 dm kcopyd: fix callback race
If the thread calling dm_kcopyd_copy is delayed due to scheduling inside
split_job/segment_complete and the subjobs complete before the loop in
split_job completes, the kcopyd callback could be invoked from the
thread that called dm_kcopyd_copy instead of the kcopyd workqueue.

dm_kcopyd_copy -> split_job -> segment_complete -> job->fn()

Snapshots depend on the fact that callbacks are called from the singlethreaded
kcopyd workqueue and expect that there is no racing between individual
callbacks. The racing between callbacks can lead to corruption of exception
store and it can also mean that exception store callbacks are called twice
for the same exception - a likely reason for crashes reported inside
pending_complete() / remove_exception().

This patch fixes two problems:

1. job->fn being called from the thread that submitted the job (see above).

- Fix: hand over the completion callback to the kcopyd thread.

2. job->fn(read_err, write_err, job->context); in segment_complete
reports the error of the last subjob, not the union of all errors.

- Fix: pass job->write_err to the callback to report all error bits
  (it is done already in run_complete_job)

af7e466a1a dm: implement basic barrier support
Barriers are submitted to a worker thread that issues them in-order.

The thread is modified so that when it sees a barrier request it waits
for all pending IO before the request then submits the barrier and
waits for it.  (We must wait, otherwise it could be intermixed with
following requests.)

Errors from the barrier request are recorded in a per-device barrier_error
variable. There may be only one barrier request in progress at once.

For now, the barrier request is converted to a non-barrier request when
sending it to the underlying device.

This patch guarantees correct barrier behavior if the underlying device
doesn't perform write-back caching. The same requirement existed before
barriers were supported in dm.

Bottom layer barrier support (sending barriers by target drivers) and
handling devices with write-back caches will be done in further patches.

92c639021c dm: remove dm_request loop
Remove queue_io return value and a loop in dm_request.

IO may be submitted to a worker thread with queue_io().  queue_io() sets
DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD so that all further IO is queued for the thread. When
the thread finishes its work, it clears DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD and from this
point on, requests are submitted from dm_request again. This will be used
for processing barriers.

Remove the loop in dm_request. queue_io() can submit I/Os to the worker thread
even if DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD was not set.

5bf37ec3e0 cap_prctl: don't set error to 0 at 'no_change'
One-liner: capsh --print is broken without this patch.

In certain cases, cap_prctl returns error > 0 for success.  However,
the 'no_change' label was always setting error to 0.  As a result,
for example, 'prctl(CAP_BSET_READ, N)' would always return 0.
It should return 1 if a process has N in its bounding set (as
by default it does).

I'm keeping the no_change label even though it's now functionally
the same as 'error'.

2a3abf6d17 igb: remove sysfs entry that was used to set the number of vfs
This patch removes the sysfs entry num_vfs which was added to support
enabling pci virtual functions for 82576.

To prevent VFs from loading automatically a module parameter "max_vfs" was
added so that the number of VFs per PF can be limited.  This is especially
useful when 4 or more 82576 ports are on the system because otherwise to
load all VFs would result in 8 interface per physical port.

d4e0fe01a3 igbvf: add new driver to support 82576 virtual functions
This adds an igbvf driver to handle virtual functions provided by the
igb driver when SR-IOV has been enabled.  A virtual function is a
lightweight pci-e function that supports a single queue and shares
resources with the 82576 physical function contained within the igb
driver.

To spawn virtual functions from the igb driver all that is needed is to
enable CONFIG_PCI_IOV and have an 82576 Ethernet adapter on a system that
supports SR-IOV in the BIOS.  The virtual functions will appear after the
interface is loaded.
