This patch implements two new vm-ioctls to get and set the
virtual_tsc_khz if the machine supports tsc-scaling. Setting
the tsc-frequency is only possible before userspace creates
any vcpu.

Since sse instructions can issue 16-byte mmios, we need to support them. We
can't increase the kvm_run mmio buffer size to 16 bytes without breaking
compatibility, so instead we break the large mmios into two smaller 8-byte
ones. Since the bus is 64-bit we aren't breaking any atomicity guarantees.

Create files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ to allow controlling the
namespaces of a process.
This addresses three specific problems that can make namespaces hard to
work with.
- Namespaces require a dedicated process to pin them in memory.
- It is not possible to use a namespace unless you are the child
of the original creator.
- Namespaces don't have names that userspace can use to talk about
them.
The namespace files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ can be opened and the
file descriptor can be used to talk about a specific namespace, and
to keep the specified namespace alive.
A namespace can be kept alive by either holding the file descriptor
open or bind mounting the file someplace else. aka:
mount --bind /proc/self/ns/net /some/filesystem/path
mount --bind /proc/self/fd/<N> /some/filesystem/path
This allows namespaces to be named with userspace policy.
It requires additional support to make use of these filedescriptors
and that will be comming in the following patches.

Some USB function drivers (e.g. f_mass_storage.c) need to delay or defer the
data/status stages of standard control requests like SET_CONFIGURATION or
SET_INTERFACE till they are done with their bookkeeping and are actually ready
for accepting new commands to their interface.
They can now achieve this functionality by returning USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS
in their setup handlers (e.g. set_alt()). The composite framework will then
defer completion of the control transfer by not completing the data/status stages.
This ensures that the host does not send new packets to the interface till the
function driver is ready to take them.
When the function driver that requested for USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS is done
with its bookkeeping, it should signal the composite framework to continue with
the data/status stages of the control transfer. It can do so by invoking
the new API usb_composite_setup_continue(). This is where the control transfer's
data/status stages are completed and host can initiate new transfers.
The DELAYED_STATUS mechanism is currently only supported if the expected data phase
is 0 bytes (i.e. w_length == 0). Since SET_CONFIGURATION and SET_INTERFACE are the
only cases that will use this mechanism, this is not a limitation.

The struct sbp2_logical_unit.work items can all be executed in parallel
but are not reentrant. Furthermore, reconnect or re-login work must be
executed in a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue.
Hence replace the old single-threaded firewire-sbp2 workqueue by a
concurrency-managed but non-reentrant workqueue with rescuer.
firewire-core already maintains one, hence use this one.
In earlier versions of this change, I observed occasional failures of
parallel INQUIRY to an Initio INIC-2430 FireWire 800 to dual IDE bridge.
More testing indicates that parallel INQUIRY is not actually a problem,
but too quick successions of logout and login + INQUIRY, e.g. a quick
sequence of cable plugout and plugin, can result in failed INQUIRY.
This does not seem to be something that should or could be addressed by
serialization.
Another dual-LU device to which I currently have access to, an
OXUF924DSB FireWire 800 to dual SATA bridge with firmware from MacPower,
has been successfully tested with this too.
This change is beneficial to environments with two or more FireWire
storage devices, especially if they are located on the same bus.
Management tasks that should be performed as soon and as quickly as
possible, especially reconnect, are no longer held up by tasks on other
devices that may take a long time, especially login with INQUIRY and sd
or sr driver probe.

When queueing iso packets, the run time is dominated by the two
MMIO accesses that set the DMA context's wake bit. Because most
drivers submit packets in batches, we can save much time by
removing all but the last wakeup.
The internal kernel API is changed to require a call to
fw_iso_context_queue_flush() after a batch of queued packets.
The user space API does not change, so one call to
FW_CDEV_IOC_QUEUE_ISO must specify multiple packets to take
advantage of this optimization.
In my measurements, this patch reduces the time needed to queue
fifty skip packets from userspace to one sixth on a 2.5 GHz CPU,
or to one third at 800 MHz.

We do not need slab allocations anymore in order to satisfy
streaming DMA mapping constraints, thanks to commit da28947e7e36
"firewire: ohci: avoid separate DMA mapping for small AT payloads".
(Besides, the slab-allocated buffers that firewire-core, firewire-sbp2,
and firedtv used to provide for 8-byte write and lock requests were
still not fully portable since they crossed cacheline boundaries or
shared a cacheline with unrelated CPU-accessed data. snd-firewire-lib
got this aspect right by using an extra kmalloc/ kfree just for the
8-byte transaction buffer.)
This change replaces kmalloc'ed lock transaction scratch buffers in
firewire-core, firedtv, and snd-firewire-lib by local stack allocations.
Perhaps the most notable result of the change is simpler locking because
there is no need to serialize usages of preallocated per-device buffers
anymore. Also, allocations and deallocations are simpler.

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a
programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does
not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We
decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean.
In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and
registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for
specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver
itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core
driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct
initialization.
Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however
the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host
abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e).
Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to
80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still
optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later
without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO
used for accessing cores on the bus.

If a range is specified by the ioctl, segment allocator of nilfs tries

Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with
down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack
and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too.
This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with
up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and
when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch.
[ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc/<pid>/maps for the
grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and
share the infrstructure with the /proc bits.

This patch enables ethtool to set the loopback mode on a given interface.
By configuring the interface in loopback mode in conjunction with a policy
route / rule, a userland application can stress the egress / ingress path
exposing the flows of the change in progress and potentially help developer(s)
understand the impact of those changes without even sending a packet out

Following set of commands illustrates one such example -
a) ip -4 addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth1
b) ip -4 rule add from all iif eth1 lookup 250
c) ip -4 route add local 0/0 dev lo proto kernel scope host table 250
d) arp -Ds 192.168.1.100 eth1
e) arp -Ds 192.168.1.200 eth1

Remove the #ifdefs. This means that the irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg_double() is used
everywhere.
There may be performance implications since:
A. We now have to manage a transaction ID for all arches
B. The interrupt holdoff for arches not supporting CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL is reduced
to a very short irqoff section.
There are no multiple irqoff/irqon sequences as a result of this change. Even in the fallback

That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which

I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and
PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a

In some drives, flush requests are non-queueable. When flush request is
running, normal read/write requests can't run. If block layer dispatches
such request, driver can't handle it and requeue it. Tejun suggested we
can hold the queue when flush is running. This can avoid unnecessary
requeue. Also this can improve performance. For example, we have
request flush1, write1, flush 2. flush1 is dispatched, then queue is
hold, write1 isn't inserted to queue. After flush1 is finished, flush2
will be dispatched. Since disk cache is already clean, flush2 will be
finished very soon, so looks like flush2 is folded to flush1.
In my test, the queue holding completely solves a regression introduced by
commit 53d63e6b0dfb95882ec0219ba6bbd50cde423794:
block: make the flush insertion use the tail of the dispatch list
It's not a preempt type request, in fact we have to insert it
behind requests that do specify INSERT_FRONT.
which causes about 20% regression running a sysbench fileio
workload.

Many rcu callbacks functions just call kfree() on the base structure.
These functions are trivial, but their size adds up, and furthermore
when they are used in a kernel module, that module must invoke the
high-latency rcu_barrier() function at module-unload time.
The kfree_rcu() function introduced by this commit addresses this issue.
Rather than encoding a function address in the embedded rcu_head
structure, kfree_rcu() instead encodes the offset of the rcu_head
structure within the base structure. Because the functions are not
allowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of kernel virtual memory, offsets
up to 4095 bytes can be accommodated. If the offset is larger than
4095 bytes, a compile-time error will be generated in __kfree_rcu().
If this error is triggered, you can either fall back to use of call_rcu()
or rearrange the structure to position the rcu_head structure into the
first 4096 bytes.
Note that the allowable offset might decrease in the future, for example,
to allow something like kmem_cache_free_rcu().
The new kfree_rcu() function can replace code as follows:
call_rcu(&p->rcu, simple_kfree_callback);
where "simple_kfree_callback()" might be defined as follows:
void simple_kfree_callback(struct rcu_head *p)
{
struct foo *q = container_of(p, struct foo, rcu);
kfree(q);
}
with the following:
kfree_rcu(&p->rcu, rcu);
Note that the "rcu" is the name of a field in the structure being
freed. The reason for using this rather than passing in a pointer
to the base structure is that the above approach allows better type
checking.

If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must
be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence
of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't
get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory
doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM.
But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit
moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily.
Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to
rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.
