c751085943 PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resume
There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous
scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to
call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation.

In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's
better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before
attempting to open the resume device.

574bbe7820 lockdep: continue lock debugging despite some taints
Impact: broaden lockdep checks

Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient
to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel
tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the
staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused
on another things that require lockdep.

The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case
of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

9eeba6138c lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taint
Impact: provide useful missing info for developers

Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings,
load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc...

But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on
the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint
disables lockdep without ever warning about it.
Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development.

This patch adds this missing warning.

Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that
explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside
add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main
information.

v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an
    open coded xchg().

02af61bb50 tracing, kmemtrace: Separate include/trace/kmemtrace.h to kmemtrace part and tracepoint part
Impact: refactor code for future changes

Current kmemtrace.h is used both as header file of kmemtrace and kmem's
tracepoints definition.

Tracepoints' definition file may be used by other code, and should only have
definition of tracepoint.

We can separate include/trace/kmemtrace.h into 2 files:

  include/linux/kmemtrace.h: header file for kmemtrace
  include/trace/kmem.h:      definition of kmem tracepoints

d6de2c80e9 async: Fix module loading async-work regression
Several drivers use asynchronous work to do device discovery, and we
synchronize with them in the compiled-in case before we actually try to
mount root filesystems etc.

However, when compiled as modules, that synchronization is missing - the
module loading completes, but the driver hasn't actually finished
probing for devices, and that means that any user mode that expects to
use the devices after the 'insmod' is now potentially broken.

We already saw one case of a similar issue in the ACPI battery code,
where the kernel itself expected the module to be all done, and unmapped
the init memory - but the async device discovery was still running.
That got hacked around by just removing the "__init" (see commit
5d38258ec0 "ACPI battery: fix async boot
oops"), but the real fix is to just make the module loading wait for all
async work to be completed.

It will slow down module loading, but since common devices should be
built in anyway, and since the bug is really annoying and hard to handle
from user space (and caused several S3 resume regressions), the simple
fix to wait is the right one.

This fixes at least

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063

but probably a few other bugzilla entries too (12936, for example), and
is confirmed to fix Rafael's storage driver breakage after resume bug
report (no bugzilla entry).

We should also be able to now revert that ACPI battery fix.

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.

 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.

These two lines:

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.

36cd3c9f92 mutex: have non-spinning mutexes on s390 by default
Impact: performance regression fix for s390

The adaptive spinning mutexes will not always do what one would expect on
virtualized architectures like s390. Especially the cpu_relax() loop in
mutex_spin_on_owner might hurt if the mutex holding cpu has been scheduled
away by the hypervisor.

We would end up in a cpu_relax() loop when there is no chance that the
state of the mutex changes until the target cpu has been scheduled again by
the hypervisor.

For that reason we should change the default behaviour to no-spin on s390.

We do have an instruction which allows to yield the current cpu in favour of
a different target cpu. Also we have an instruction which allows us to figure
out if the target cpu is physically backed.

However we need to do some performance tests until we can come up with
a solution that will do the right thing on s390.

47788c58e6 tracing/syscalls: use a dedicated file header
Impact: fix build warnings and possibe compat misbehavior on IA64

Building a kernel on ia64 might trigger these ugly build warnings:

CC      arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.o
In file included from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:55:
arch/ia64/ia32/ia32priv.h:290:1: warning: "elf_check_arch" redefined

arch/ia64/include/asm/elf.h:19:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
[...]

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...

8f2e586567 posix-timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && setitimer(CPUCLOCK_PROF)
update_rlimit_cpu() tries to optimize out set_process_cpu_timer() in case
when we already have CPUCLOCK_PROF timer which should expire first. But it
uses cputime_lt() instead of cputime_gt().

Test case:

	int main(void)
	{
		struct itimerval it = {
			.it_value = { .tv_sec = 1000 },
		};

		assert(!setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &it, NULL));

		struct rlimit rl = {
			.rlim_cur = 1,
			.rlim_max = 1,
		};

		assert(!setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, &rl));

		for (;;)
			;

		return 0;
	}

Without this patch, the task is not killed as RLIMIT_CPU demands.

6279a751fe posix-timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && fork()
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911

copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because
posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus
fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other expired cpu timers.

Change copy_signal() to set cputime_expires.prof_exp if we have RLIMIT_CPU.
Also, set cputimer.running = 1 in that case. This is not strictly necessary,
but imho makes sense.
