770824bdc4 PM: Split up sysdev_[suspend|resume] from device_power_[down|up]
Move the sysdev_suspend/resume from the callee to the callers, with
no real change in semantics, so that we can rework the disabling of
interrupts during suspend/hibernation.

This is based on an earlier patch from Linus.

403f307576 PM: Fix suspend_console and resume_console to use only one semaphore
This fixes a race where a thread acquires the console while the
console is suspended, and the console is resumed before this
thread releases it. In this case, the secondary console
semaphore would be left locked, and the primary semaphore would
be released twice. This in turn would cause the console switch
on suspend or resume to hang forever.

Note that suspend_console does not actually lock the console
for clients that use acquire_console_sem, it only locks it for
clients that use try_acquire_console_sem. If we change
suspend_console to fully lock the console, then the kernel
may deadlock on suspend. One client of try_acquire_console_sem
is acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk, which uses it to
prevent printk from using the console while it is suspended.

eed3ee0829 PM/resume: wait for device probing to finish
the resume code does not currently wait for device probing to finish.
Even without async function calls this is dicey and not correct,
but with async function calls during the boot sequence this is going
to get hit more...

This patch adds the synchronization using the newly introduced helper.

4b3e3d2284 tracing: limit the number of loops the ring buffer self test can make
Impact: prevent deadlock if ring buffer gets corrupted

This patch adds a paranoid check to make sure the ring buffer consumer
does not go into an infinite loop. Since the ring buffer has been set
to read only, the consumer should not loop for more than the ring buffer
size. A check is added to make sure the consumer does not loop more than
the ring buffer size.

4d7a077c0c tracing: have function trace select kallsyms
Impact: fix output of function tracer to be useful

The function tracer is pretty useless if KALLSYMS is not configured.
Unless you are good at reading hex values, the function tracer should
select the KALLSYMS configuration.

Also, the dynamic function tracer will fail its self test if KALLSYMS
is not selected.

0c5119c1e6 tracing: disable tracing while testing ring buffer
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on self tests

If one of the tracers are broken and is constantly filling the ring
buffer while the test of the ring buffer is running, it will hang
the box. The reason is that the test is a consumer that will not
stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and
is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never
end. The result is a lockup of the box.

This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace
test constantly filled the ring buffer, because the filter failed
and all functions were being traced. Something was being called
that constantly filled the buffer.

5b058bcde9 tracing/function-graph-tracer: trace the idle tasks
When the function graph tracer is activated, it iterates over the task_list
to allocate a stack to store the return addresses.

But the per cpu idle tasks are not iterated by using
do_each_thread / while_each_thread.

So we have to iterate on them manually.

This fixes somes weirdness in the traces and many losses of traces.

6bc5c366b1 trace: mmiotrace to the tracer menu in Kconfig
Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout

This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it
was forgotten.

CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable
directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel
configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64.

Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own
sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there.
Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture
specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by
x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

391b170f10 mmiotrace: count events lost due to not recording
Impact: enhances lost events counting in mmiotrace

The tracing framework, or the ring buffer facility it uses, has a switch
to stop recording data. When recording is off, the trace events will be
lost. The framework does not count these, so mmiotrace has to count them
itself.

For those in the init namespace, while we're waiting to remove

3997ad317f timers: more consistently use clock vs timer
While reviewing the manpages, I noticed I'd missed some clock vs timer sites.

Make sure that all timer functions call cpu_timer_sample_group() and not
cpu_clock_sample_group(). This ensures that we enable the process wide timer
in time, and therefore pay the O(n) thread group cost from the syscall.

Not doing it here, will result in the first jiffy tick after setting the timer
doing this, resulting in a very expensive tick (but only once) and a delay in
actually starting the timer.

c07c99b672 perfcounters: make context switch and migration software counters work again
Jaswinder Singh Rajput reported that commit 23a185ca8a caused the
context switch and migration software counters to report zero always.
With that commit, the software counters only count events that occur
between sched-in and sched-out for a task.  This is necessary for the
counter enable/disable prctls and ioctls to work.  However, the
context switch and migration counts are incremented after sched-out
for one task and before sched-in for the next.  Since the increment
doesn't occur while a task is scheduled in (as far as the software
counters are concerned) it doesn't count towards any counter.

Thus the context switch and migration counters need to count events
that occur at any time, provided the counter is enabled, not just
those that occur while the task is scheduled in (from the perf_counter
subsystem's point of view).  The problem though is that the software
counter code can't tell the difference between being enabled and being
scheduled in, and between being disabled and being scheduled out,
since we use the one pair of enable/disable entry points for both.
That is, the high-level disable operation simply arranges for the
counter to not be scheduled in any more, and the high-level enable
operation arranges for it to be scheduled in again.

One way to solve this would be to have sched_in/out operations in the
hw_perf_counter_ops struct as well as enable/disable.  However, this
takes a simpler approach: it adds a 'prev_state' field to the
perf_counter struct that allows a counter's enable method to know
whether the counter was previously disabled or just inactive
(scheduled out), and therefore whether the enable method is being
called as a result of a high-level enable or a schedule-in operation.

This then allows the context switch, migration and page fault counters
to reset their hw.prev_count value in their enable functions only if
they are called as a result of a high-level enable operation.
Although page faults would normally only occur while the counter is
scheduled in, this changes the page fault counter code too in case
there are ever circumstances where page faults get counted against a
task while its counters are not scheduled in.

cfebe563bd cgroups: fix lockdep subclasses overflow
I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then:
 # mount -t cgroup -o net_cls xxx /mnt
 # mkdir /mnt/0

This showed up immediately:
 BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low!
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock:
	for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
		struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i];
		if (ss->root == root)
			mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i);
	}

Now we have 9 cgroup subsystems, and the above 'i' for net_cls is 8, but
MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8.

This patch uses different lockdep keys for different subsystems.

Some tracing with the function graph tracer quickly pointed out that
futex_wait() has exit paths with unbalanced reference counts.

This regression was discovered by kmemleak.

06eb23b1ba ptrace, x86: fix the usage of ptrace_fork()
I noticed by pure accident we have ptrace_fork() and friends. This was
added by "x86, bts: add fork and exit handling", commit
bf53de907d.

I can't test this, ds_request_bts() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, but I strongly
believe this needs the fix. I think something like this program

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid = fork();

		if (!pid) {
			ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, NULL, NULL);
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
			fork();
		} else {
			struct ptrace_bts_config bts = {
				.flags = PTRACE_BTS_O_ALLOC,
				.size  = 4 * 4096,
			};

			wait(NULL);

			ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, NULL, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK);
			ptrace(PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG, pid, &bts, sizeof(bts));
			ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, NULL, NULL);

			sleep(1);
		}

		return 0;
	}

should crash the kernel.

If the task is traced by its natural parent ptrace_reparented() returns 0
but we should clear ->btsxxx anyway.

0475f9ea8e perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events
Impact: new perf_counter feature

This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify
that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be
counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU
mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc.

For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to
distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the
counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits
would require us to distinguish.  Context switches and CPU migrations
are currently considered to occur in kernel mode.

On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count
kernel events.  Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude
them.  Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though.  On x86 we
don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are
counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored.

On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel
and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a
check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events
on the PMU.  Counters being added to a group have to have the same
settings as the other hardware counters in the group.  Counters and
groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable
if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the
PMU.  If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting
is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any
hypervisor events.
