b918e5e60d kprobes: cleanup aggr_kprobe related code
Currently, kprobes can disable all probes at once, but can't disable it
individually (not unregister, just disable an kprobe, because
unregistering needs to wait for scheduler synchronization).  These patches
introduce APIs for on-the-fly per-probe disabling and re-enabling by
dis-arming/re-arming its breakpoint instruction.

This patch:

Change old_p to ap in add_new_kprobe() for readability, copy flags member
in add_aggr_kprobe(), and simplify the code flow of
register_aggr_kprobe().

fafd688e4c mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threads
Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and
maximum number of pdflush threads.  This allows finer control of pdflush
on both large and small machines.

The rationale is simply one size does not fit all.  Admins on large and/or
small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best
suit their needs.  Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8.  While
probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large
numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit
from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices.

Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is
still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still
desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the
kernel.

The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and
'/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions.

The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is
the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max.  This minimum is required
since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself.

The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of
nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000.

Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

b0dfa978c7 tracing/ftrace: alloc the started cpumask for the trace file

This is because we alloc the iter->started cpumask on tracing_pipe_open but
not on tracing_open.

It hadn't been noticed until now because we need to have ring buffer overruns
to activate the starting of cpu buffer detection.

Also, we need a check to not print the messagge for the first trace on the file.

....
(It always print the time less than 2200 seconds besides ...)
Because 'long' is 32bits in i386. ( (1<<31) useconds is about 2200 seconds)

...

          <idle>-0     [001] 4154502640.134761: idle_cpu <-irq_exit
...
(very large value)
Because 'long' is a signed type and it is 32bits in i386.

Changes in v2:
return 'unsigned long long' instead of 'cycle_t'

301fd748e2 tracing: remove CALLER_ADDR2 from wakeup tracer
Maneesh Soni was getting a crash when running the wakeup tracer.
We debugged it down to the recording of the function with the
CALLER_ADDR2 macro.  This is used to get the location of the caller
to schedule.

But the problem comes when schedule is called by assmebly. In the case
that Maneesh had, retint_careful would call schedule. But retint_careful
does not set up a proper frame pointer. CALLER_ADDR2 is defined as
__builtin_return_address(2). This produces the following assembly in
the wakeup tracer code.

   mov    0x0(%rbp),%rcx  <--- get the frame pointer of the caller
   mov    %r14d,%r8d
   mov    0xf2de8e(%rip),%rdi

   mov    0x8(%rcx),%rsi  <-- this is __builtin_return_address(1)
   mov    0x28(%rdi,%rax,8),%rbx

   mov    (%rcx),%rax  <-- get the frame pointer of the caller's caller
   mov    %r12,%rcx
   mov    0x8(%rax),%rdx <-- this is __builtin_return_address(2)

At the reading of 0x8(%rax) Maneesh's machine would take a fault.
The reason is that retint_careful did not set up the return address
and the content of %rax here was zero.

To verify this, I sent Maneesh a patch to create a frame pointer
in retint_careful. He ran the test again but this time he would take
the same type of fault from sysret_careful. The retint_careful was no
longer an issue, but there are other callers that still have issues.

Instead of adding frame pointers for all callers to schedule (in possibly
all archs), it is much safer to simply not use CALLER_ADDR2. This
loses out on knowing what called schedule, but the function tracer
will help there if needed.

de79f54f53 x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interface
The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu()
context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep.

Add _noirq variants for most functions, which  may be called with
interrupts disabled.

Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be
controlled from any cpu.

Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize
with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the
unnecessary spinlock.

Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface.

Defer the ds selftest.

4c9e25428f perf_counter: change event definition
Currently the definition of an event is slightly ambiguous. We have
wakeup events, for poll() and SIGIO, which are either generated
when a record crosses a page boundary (hw_events.wakeup_events == 0),
or every wakeup_events new records.

Now a record can be either a counter overflow record, or a number of
different things, like the mmap PROT_EXEC region notifications.

Then there is the PERF_COUNTER_IOC_REFRESH event limit, which only
considers counter overflows.

This patch changes then wakeup_events and SIGIO notification to only
consider overflow events. Furthermore it changes the SIGIO notification
to report SIGHUP when the event limit is reached and the counter will
be disabled.

Prepare for more generic overflow handling. The new perf_counter_overflow()
method will handle the generic bits of the counter overflow, and can return
a !0 return value, in which case the counter should be (soft) disabled, so
that it won't count until it's properly disabled.

2e45e77787 Revert "module: remove the SHF_ALLOC flag on the __versions section."
This reverts commit 9cb610d8e3.

This was an impressively stupid patch.  Firstly, we reset the SHF_ALLOC
flag lower down in the same function, so the patch was useless.  Even
better, find_sec() ignores sections with SHF_ALLOC not set, so
it breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y with CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD=n, which
refuses to load the module since it can't find the __versions section.

52400ba946 futex: add requeue_pi functionality
PI Futexes and their underlying rt_mutex cannot be left ownerless if
there are pending waiters as this will break the PI boosting logic, so
the standard requeue commands aren't sufficient.  The new commands
properly manage pi futex ownership by ensuring a futex with waiters
has an owner at all times.  This will allow glibc to properly handle
pi mutexes with pthread_condvars.

The approach taken here is to create two new futex op codes:

FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI:
Tasks will use this op code to wait on a futex (such as a non-pi waitqueue)
and wake after they have been requeued to a pi futex.  Prior to returning to
userspace, they will acquire this pi futex (and the underlying rt_mutex).

futex_wait_requeue_pi() is the result of a high speed collision between
futex_wait() and futex_lock_pi() (with the first part of futex_lock_pi() being
done by futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() on behalf of the top_waiter).

FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI):
This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI,
regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue.
pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and
nr_requeue=INT_MAX.  pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and
nr_requeue=0.  The reason being we need both callers to get the benefit of the
futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() routine.  futex_requeue() also enqueues the
top_waiter on the rt_mutex via rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().

a72188d8a6 futex: add FUTEX_HAS_TIMEOUT flag to restart.futex.flags
Currently restart is only used if there is a timeout. The requeue_pi
functionality requires restarting to futex_lock_pi() on signal after
wakeup in futex_wait_requeue_pi() regardless of if there was a timeout
or not. Using 0 for the timeout value is confusing as that could
indicate an expired timer. The flag makes this explicit. While the
check is not technically needed in futex_wait_restart(), doing so
makes the code consistent with and will avoid confusion should the
need arise to restart wait without a timeout.

Refactor the atomic portion of futex_lock_pi() into futex_lock_pi_atomic().

This logic will be needed by requeue_pi, so modularize it to reduce
code duplication.  The only significant change is passing of the task
to try and take the lock for.  This simplifies the -EDEADLK test as if
the lock is owned by task t, it's a deadlock, regardless of if we are
doing requeue pi or not.  This patch updates the corresponding comment
