44ce6294d0 Revert "md: improve partition detection in md array"
This reverts commit 5b479c91da.

Quoth Neil Brown:

  "It causes an oops when auto-detecting raid arrays, and it doesn't
   seem easy to fix.

   The array may not be 'open' when do_md_run is called, so
   bdev->bd_disk might be NULL, so bd_set_size can oops.

   This whole approach of opening an md device before it has been
   assembled just seems to get more and more painful.  I think I'm going
   to have to come up with something clever to provide both backward
   comparability with usage expectation, and sane integration into the
   rest of the kernel."

6d208b39c4 ide: legacy PCI bus order probing fixes
IDE PCI host drivers should register themselves with IDE core only when
IDE driver is built-in, otherwise (IDE driver is modular and thus IDE PCI
host drivers are also modular) the code has no effect and just complicates
the probing.

Fix it by adding new config option CONFIG_IDEPCI_PCIBUS (defined only when
needed and invisible to the user) and covering by #ifdef/#endif the code
in question.  It turned out that "ide=reverse" was silently accepted but did
nothing in case when IDE driver was modular, this is fixed now.

5cbf79cdb3 ide: add ide_proc_register_port()
* create_proc_ide_interfaces() tries to add /proc entries for every probed
  and initialized IDE port, replace it by ide_proc_register_port() which does
  it only for the given port (also rename destroy_proc_ide_interface() to
  ide_proc_unregister_port() for consistency)
  
* convert {create,destroy}_proc_ide_interface[s]() users to use new functions

* pmac driver depended on proc_ide_create() to add /proc port entries, fix it
  
* au1xxx-ide, swarm and cs5520 drivers depended indirectly on ide-generic
  driver (CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y) to add port /proc entries, fix them

* there is now no need to add /proc entries for IDE ports in proc_ide_create()
  so don't do it

* proc_ide_create() needs now to be called before drivers are probed - fix it,
  while at it make proc_ide_create() create /proc "ide" directory

7f8f48af08 ide: cable detection fixes (take 2)
Tejun's recent eighty_ninty_three() fix has inspired me to do more thorough
review of the cable detection code...

* print user-friendly warning about limiting the maximum transfer speed
  to UDMA33 (and the reason behind it) when 80-wire cable is not detected,
  also while at it cleanup eighty_ninty_three() a bit

* use eighty_ninty_three() in ide_ata66_check(), this actually fixes 3 bugs:
  - bit 14 (word 93 validity check) == 1 && bit 13 (80-wire cable test) == 1
    were used as 80-wire cable present test for CONFIG_IDEDMA_IVB=n case
    (please see FIXME comment in eighty_ninty_three() for more details)
  - CONFIG_IDEDMA_IVB=y/n cases were interchanged
  - check for SATA devices was missing

* remove private cable warnings from pdc_202xx{old,new} drivers now that core
  code provides this functionality (plus, in pdc202xx_new case the test could
  give false warnings for ATAPI devices because pdc202xx_new driver doesn't
  even support ATAPI DMA)

* do write permission and min/max checks in ide_procset_t functions

* ide-disk.c: drive->id is always available so cleanup "multcount" setting
  accordingly

* ide-disk.c: "address" setting was incorrectly defined as type TYPE_INTA,
  fix it by using type TYPE_BYTE and updating ide_drive_t->adressing field,
  the bug didn't trigger because this IDE setting uses custom ->set function

* ide.c: add set_ksettings() for handling HDIO_SET_KEEPSETTINGS ioctl

* ide.c: add set_unmaskirq() for handling HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR ioctl

* handle ioctls directly in generic_ide_ioclt() and idedisk_ioctl()
  instead of using IDE settings to deal with them

* remove no longer needed ide_find_setting_by_ioctl() and {read,write}_ioctl
  fields from ide_settings_t, also remove now unused TYPE_INTA handling

5b479c91da md: improve partition detection in md array
md currently uses ->media_changed to make sure rescan_partitions
is call on md array after they are assembled.

However that doesn't happen until the array is opened, which is later
than some people would like.

So use blkdev_ioctl to do the rescan immediately that the
array has been assembled.

This means we can remove all the ->change infrastructure as it was only used
to trigger a partition rescan.

0d7ebbbc6e compiler: introduce __used and __maybe_unused
__used is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for all pre-3.3 gcc
compilers to suppress warnings for unused functions because perhaps they
are referenced only in inline assembly.  It is defined to be
__attribute__((used)) for gcc 3.3 and later so that the code is still
emitted for such functions.

__maybe_unused is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for both function
and variable use if it could possibly be unreferenced due to the evaluation
of preprocessor macros.  Function prototypes shall be marked with
__maybe_unused if the actual definition of the function is dependant on
preprocessor macros.

No update to compiler-intel.h is necessary because ICC supports both
__attribute__((used)) and __attribute__((unused)) as specified by the gcc
manual.

__attribute_used__ is deprecated and will be removed once all current
code is converted to using __used.

4037d45220 Move remote node draining out of slab allocators
Currently the slab allocators contain callbacks into the page allocator to
perform the draining of pagesets on remote nodes.  This requires SLUB to have
a whole subsystem in order to be compatible with SLAB.  Moving node draining
out of the slab allocators avoids a section of code in SLUB.

Move the node draining so that is is done when the vm statistics are updated.
At that point we are already touching all the cachelines with the pagesets of
a processor.

Add a expire counter there.  If we have to update per zone or global vm
statistics then assume that the pageset will require subsequent draining.

The expire counter will be decremented on each vm stats update pass until it
reaches zero.  Then we will drain one batch from the pageset.  The draining
will cause vm counter updates which will then cause another expiration until
the pcp is empty.  So we will drain a batch every 3 seconds.

Note that remote node draining is a somewhat esoteric feature that is required
on large NUMA systems because otherwise significant portions of system memory
can become trapped in pcp queues.  The number of pcp is determined by the
number of processors and nodes in a system.  A system with 4 processors and 2
nodes has 8 pcps which is okay.  But a system with 1024 processors and 512
nodes has 512k pcps with a high potential for large amount of memory being
caught in them.

d1187ed210 vmstat: use our own timer events
vmstat is currently using the cache reaper to periodically bring the
statistics up to date.  The cache reaper does only exists in SLUB as a way to
provide compatibility with SLAB.  This patch removes the vmstat calls from the
slab allocators and provides its own handling.

The advantage is also that we can use a different frequency for the updates.
Refreshing vm stats is a pretty fast job so we can run this every second and
stagger this by only one tick.  This will lead to some overlap in large
systems.  F.e a system running at 250 HZ with 1024 processors will have 4 vm
updates occurring at once.

However, the vm stats update only accesses per node information.  It is only
necessary to stagger the vm statistics updates per processor in each node.  Vm
counter updates occurring on distant nodes will not cause cacheline
contention.

We could implement an alternate approach that runs the first processor on each
node at the second and then each of the other processor on a node on a
subsequent tick.  That may be useful to keep a large amount of the second free
of timer activity.  Maybe the timer folks will have some feedback on this one?

8bb7844286 Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress.  This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions.  It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

01f2705daf fs: convert core functions to zero_user_page
It's very common for file systems to need to zero part or all of a page,
the simplist way is just to use kmap_atomic() and memset().  There's
actually a library function in include/linux/highmem.h that does exactly
that, but it's confusingly named memclear_highpage_flush(), which is
descriptive of *how* it does the work rather than what the *purpose* is.
So this patchset renames the function to zero_user_page(), and calls it
from the various places that currently open code it.

This first patch introduces the new function call, and converts all the
core kernel callsites, both the open-coded ones and the old
memclear_highpage_flush() ones.  Following this patch is a series of
conversions for each file system individually, per AKPM, and finally a
patch deprecating the old call.  The diffstat below shows the entire
patchset.

34f01cc1f5 FUTEX: new PRIVATE futexes
Analysis of current linux futex code :
  --------------------------------------

A central hash table futex_queues[] holds all contexts (futex_q) of waiting
threads.

Each futex_wait()/futex_wait() has to obtain a spinlock on a hash slot to
perform lookups or insert/deletion of a futex_q.

When a futex_wait() is done, calling thread has to :

1) - Obtain a read lock on mmap_sem to be able to validate the user pointer
     (calling find_vma()). This validation tells us if the futex uses
     an inode based store (mapped file), or mm based store (anonymous mem)

2) - compute a hash key

3) - Atomic increment of reference counter on an inode or a mm_struct

4) - lock part of futex_queues[] hash table

5) - perform the test on value of futex.
	(rollback is value != expected_value, returns EWOULDBLOCK)
	(various loops if test triggers mm faults)

6) queue the context into hash table, release the lock got in 4)

7) - release the read_lock on mmap_sem

   <block>

8) Eventually unqueue the context (but rarely, as this part  may be done
   by the futex_wake())

Futexes were designed to improve scalability but current implementation has
various problems :

- Central hashtable :

  This means scalability problems if many processes/threads want to use
  futexes at the same time.
  This means NUMA unbalance because this hashtable is located on one node.

- Using mmap_sem on every futex() syscall :

  Even if mmap_sem is a rw_semaphore, up_read()/down_read() are doing atomic
  ops on mmap_sem, dirtying cache line :
    - lot of cache line ping pongs on SMP configurations.

  mmap_sem is also extensively used by mm code (page faults, mmap()/munmap())
  Highly threaded processes might suffer from mmap_sem contention.

  mmap_sem is also used by oprofile code. Enabling oprofile hurts threaded
  programs because of contention on the mmap_sem cache line.

- Using an atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() on inode ref counter or mm ref counter:
  It's also a cache line ping pong on SMP. It also increases mmap_sem hold time
  because of cache misses.

Most of these scalability problems come from the fact that futexes are in
one global namespace.  As we use a central hash table, we must make sure
they are all using the same reference (given by the mm subsystem).  We
chose to force all futexes be 'shared'.  This has a cost.

But fact is POSIX defined PRIVATE and SHARED, allowing clear separation,
and optimal performance if carefuly implemented.  Time has come for linux
to have better threading performance.

The goal is to permit new futex commands to avoid :
 - Taking the mmap_sem semaphore, conflicting with other subsystems.
 - Modifying a ref_count on mm or an inode, still conflicting with mm or fs.

This is possible because, for one process using PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE
futexes, we only need to distinguish futexes by their virtual address, no
matter the underlying mm storage is.

If glibc wants to exploit this new infrastructure, it should use new
_PRIVATE futex subcommands for PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE futexes.  And be
prepared to fallback on old subcommands for old kernels.  Using one global
variable with the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG or 0 value should be OK.

PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED futexes should still use the old subcommands.

Compatibility with old applications is preserved, they still hit the
scalability problems, but new applications can fly :)

Note : the same SHARED futex (mapped on a file) can be used by old binaries
*and* new binaries, because both binaries will use the old subcommands.

Note : Vast majority of futexes should be using PROCESS_PRIVATE semantic,
as this is the default semantic. Almost all applications should benefit
of this changes (new kernel and updated libc)

Some bench results on a Pentium M 1.6 GHz (SMP kernel on a UP machine)

d0aa7a70bf futex_requeue_pi optimization
This patch provides the futex_requeue_pi functionality, which allows some
threads waiting on a normal futex to be requeued on the wait-queue of a
PI-futex.

This provides an optimization, already used for (normal) futexes, to be used
with the PI-futexes.

This optimization is currently used by the glibc in pthread_broadcast, when
using "normal" mutexes.  With futex_requeue_pi, it can be used with
PRIO_INHERIT mutexes too.

c19384b5b2 Make futex_wait() use an hrtimer for timeout
This patch modifies futex_wait() to use an hrtimer + schedule() in place of
schedule_timeout().

schedule_timeout() is tick based, therefore the timeout granularity is the
tick (1 ms, 4 ms or 10 ms depending on HZ).  By using a high resolution timer
for timeout wakeup, we can attain a much finer timeout granularity (in the
microsecond range).  This parallels what is already done for futex_lock_pi().

The timeout passed to the syscall is no longer converted to jiffies and is
therefore passed to do_futex() and futex_wait() as an absolute ktime_t
therefore keeping nanosecond resolution.

Also this removes the need to pass the nanoseconds timeout part to
futex_lock_pi() in val2.

In futex_wait(), if there is no timeout then a regular schedule() is
performed.  Otherwise, an hrtimer is fired before schedule() is called.

cd123012d9 RPC: add wrapper for svc_reserve to account for checksum
When the kernel calls svc_reserve to downsize the expected size of an RPC
reply, it fails to account for the possibility of a checksum at the end of
the packet.  If a client mounts a NFSv2/3 with sec=krb5i/p, and does I/O
then you'll generally see messages similar to this in the server's ring
buffer:

RPC request reserved 164 but used 208

While I was never able to verify it, I suspect that this problem is also
the root cause of some oopses I've seen under these conditions:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227726

This is probably also a problem for other sec= types and for NFSv4.  The
large reserved size for NFSv4 compound packets seems to generally paper
over the problem, however.

This patch adds a wrapper for svc_reserve that accounts for the possibility
of a checksum.  It also fixes up the appropriate callers of svc_reserve to
call the wrapper.  For now, it just uses a hardcoded value that I
determined via testing.  That value may need to be revised upward as things
change, or we may want to eventually add a new auth_op that attempts to
calculate this somehow.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a good way to reliably determine
the expected checksum length prior to actually calculating it, particularly
with schemes like spkm3.

10ab825bde change kernel threads to ignore signals instead of blocking them
Currently kernel threads use sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK) to protect against
signals.  This doesn't prevent the signal delivery, this only blocks
signal_wake_up().  Every "killall -33 kthreadd" means a "struct siginfo"
leak.

Change kthreadd_setup() to set all handlers to SIG_IGN instead of blocking
them (make a new helper ignore_signals() for that).  If the kernel thread
needs some signal, it should use allow_signal() anyway, and in that case it
should not use CLONE_SIGHAND.

Note that we can't change daemonize() (should die!) in the same way,
because it can be used along with CLONE_SIGHAND.  This means that
allow_signal() still should unblock the signal to work correctly with
daemonize()ed threads.

However, disallow_signal() doesn't block the signal any longer but ignores
it.

NOTE: with or without this patch the kernel threads are not protected from
handle_stop_signal(), this seems harmless, but not good.

73c279927f kthread: don't depend on work queues
Currently there is a circular reference between work queue initialization
and kthread initialization.  This prevents the kthread infrastructure from
initializing until after work queues have been initialized.

We want the properties of tasks created with kthread_create to be as close
as possible to the init_task and to not be contaminated by user processes.
The later we start our kthreadd that creates these tasks the harder it is
to avoid contamination from user processes and the more of a mess we have
to clean up because the defaults have changed on us.

So this patch modifies the kthread support to not use work queues but to
instead use a simple list of structures, and to have kthreadd start from
init_task immediately after our kernel thread that execs /sbin/init.

By being a true child of init_task we only have to change those process
settings that we want to have different from init_task, such as our process
name, the cpus that are allowed, blocking all signals and setting SIGCHLD
to SIG_IGN so that all of our children are reaped automatically.

By being a true child of init_task we also naturally get our ppid set to 0
and do not wind up as a child of PID == 1.  Ensuring that tasks generated
by kthread_create will not slow down the functioning of the wait family of
functions.

baaca49f41 Define and use new events,CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE
This is an attempt to provide an alternate mechanism for postponing
a hotplug event instead of using a global mechanism like lock_cpu_hotplug.

The proposal is to add two new events namely CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and
CPU_LOCK_RELEASE. The notification for these two events would be sent
out before and after a cpu_hotplug event respectively.

During the CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE event, a cpu-hotplug-aware subsystem is
supposed to acquire any per-subsystem hotcpu mutex ( Eg. workqueue_mutex
in kernel/workqueue.c ).

During the CPU_LOCK_RELEASE release event the cpu-hotplug-aware subsystem
is supposed to release the per-subsystem hotcpu mutex.

The reasons for defining new events as opposed to reusing the existing events
like CPU_UP_PREPARE/CPU_UP_FAILED/CPU_ONLINE for locking/unlocking of
per-subsystem hotcpu mutexes are as follow:

	- CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE: All hotcpu mutexes are taken before subsystems
	start handling pre-hotplug events like CPU_UP_PREPARE/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
	etc, thus ensuring a clean handling of these events.

	- CPU_LOCK_RELEASE: The hotcpu mutexes will be released only after
	all subsystems have handled post-hotplug events like CPU_DOWN_FAILED,
	CPU_DEAD,CPU_ONLINE etc thereby ensuring that there are no subsequent
	clashes amongst the interdependent subsystems after a cpu hotplugs.

This patch also uses __raw_notifier_call chain in _cpu_up to take care
of the dependency between the two consequetive calls to
raw_notifier_call_chain.

6f7cc11aa6 Extend notifier_call_chain to count nr_calls made
Since 2.6.18-something, the community has been bugged by the problem to
provide a clean and a stable mechanism to postpone a cpu-hotplug event as
lock_cpu_hotplug was badly broken.

This is another proposal towards solving that problem.  This one is along the
lines of the solution provided in kernel/workqueue.c

Instead of having a global mechanism like lock_cpu_hotplug, we allow the
subsytems to define their own per-subsystem hot cpu mutexes.  These would be
taken(released) where ever we are currently calling
lock_cpu_hotplug(unlock_cpu_hotplug).

Also, in the per-subsystem hotcpu callback function,we take this mutex before
we handle any pre-cpu-hotplug events and release it once we finish handling
the post-cpu-hotplug events.  A standard means for doing this has been
provided in [PATCH 2/4] and demonstrated in [PATCH 3/4].

The ordering of these per-subsystem mutexes might still prove to be a
problem, but hopefully lockdep should help us get out of that muddle.

The patch set to be applied against linux-2.6.19-rc5 is as follows:

[PATCH 1/4] :	Extend notifier_call_chain with an option to specify the
		number of notifications to be sent and also count the
		number of notifications actually sent.

[PATCH 2/4] :	Define events CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE
		and send out notifications for these in _cpu_up and
		_cpu_down. This would help us standardise the acquire and
		release of the subsystem locks in the hotcpu
		callback functions of these subsystems.

[PATCH 3/4] :	Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from kernel/sched.c.

[PATCH 4/4] :	In workqueue_cpu_callback function, acquire(release) the
		workqueue_mutex while handling
		CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE(CPU_LOCK_RELEASE).

If the per-subsystem-locking approach survives the test of time, we can expect
a slow phasing out of lock_cpu_hotplug, which has not yet been eliminated in
these patches :)

This patch:

Provide notifier_call_chain with an option to call only a specified number of
notifiers and also record the number of call to notifiers made.

The need for this enhancement was identified in the post entitled
"Slab - Eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from slab"
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/28/92) by Ravikiran G Thirumalai and
Andrew Morton.

This patch adds two additional parameters to notifier_call_chain API namely
 - int nr_to_calls : Number of notifier_functions to be called.
 		     The don't care value is -1.

 - unsigned int *nr_calls : Records the total number of notifier_funtions
			    called by notifier_call_chain. The don't care
			    value is NULL.

b89deed32c implement flush_work()
A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_
presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to
flush.  If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens
to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur.

One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding
rtnl_lock().  But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will
deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock.

So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one
which the caller wants to free up.  Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks
which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks.

flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill,
then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs.

Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to
currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects
->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist
(and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means
that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another
barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work()
will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run.

When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect
against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will
move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and
wait_on_work() will be woken.

Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before
take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus
the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in
run_workqueue(). But even if we did, everything should be ok.

18d8362d51 mutex_lock_interruptible(): add __must_check
It's not sane to use mutex_lock_interruptible() and to then ignore the result.

Ditto down_interruptible(), but I'm lazy.

55c0d1f83e Move sig_kernel_* et al macros to linux/signal.h
This patch moves the sig_kernel_* and related macros from kernel/signal.c
to linux/signal.h, and cleans them up slightly.  I need the sig_kernel_*
macros for default signal behavior in the utrace code, and want to avoid
duplication or overhead to share the knowledge.

8813d1c00c mca: add integrated device bus matching
The MCA bus has a few "integrated" functions, which are effectively virtual
slots on the bus.  The problem is that these special functions don't have
dedicated pos IDs, so we have to manufacture ids for them outside the pos
space ...  and these ids can't be matched by the standard matching function,
so add a special registration that requests a list of pos ids or a particular
integrated function.
