On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks
exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can
overflow a userspace listener's buffers.

One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a
limited and specific set of cpus.  By scaling the number of listeners
and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data
overload more gracefully.

In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus
by specifying a cpumask.  The interest is recorded per-cpu.  When a task
exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested
in that cpu.

Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and
general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

Don't send taskstats (per-pid or per-tgid) on thread exit when no one is
listening for such data.

Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and
calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether
a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for
that and avoid the multicast).

As a result of this patch, the check for the no-listener case is performed
early, avoiding the redundant allocation and filling up of the taskstats
structures.

Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once
with each member thread exit.

Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data
of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty.
The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all
*remaining* threads of the thread group.

This patch modifies this sending in two ways:

- the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group
  exits.  This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving
  per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats
  interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats

- the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed.  Instead of being
  the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the
  true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of
  the thread group.

The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting
subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of
taskstats to not be sent at all.

The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours
on an SMP.

Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC
family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their
lifetime and when they exit.  The interface is intended for use by multiple
accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay
accounting.

This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data
that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task.
Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an
additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

When changing power states from D0->DX and then from DX->D0, some
Intel PCIE chipsets will cause a device reset to occur.  This will
cause problems for any D State other than D3, since any state
information that the driver will expect to be present coming from
a D1 or D2 state will have been cleared.  This patch addes a
flag to the pci_dev structure to indicate that devices should
not use states D1 or D2, and will set that flag for the affected
chipsets.  This patch also modifies pci_set_power_state() so that
when a device driver tries to set the power state on
a device that is downstream from an affected chipset, or on one
of the affected devices it only allows state changes to or
from D0 & D3.  In addition, this patch allows the delay time
between D3->D0 to be changed via a quirk.  These chipsets also
need additional time to change states beyond the normal 10ms.

Recent section changes broke gadget builds on some platforms.  This patch
is the best fix that's available until better section markings exist:

 - There's a lot of cleanup code that gets used in both init and exit paths;
   stop marking it as "__exit".

   (Best fix for this would be an "__init_or_exit" section marking, putting
   the cleanup in __init when __exit sections get discarded else in __exit.)

 - Stop marking the use-once probe routines as "__init" since references
   to those routines are not allowed from driver structures.  They're now
   marked "__devinit", which in practice is a net lose.

   (Best fix for this is likely to separate such use-once probe routines
   from the driver structure ... but in general, all busses that aren't
   hotpluggable will be forced to waste memory for all probe-only code.)

In general these broken section rules waste an average of two to four kBytes
per driver of code bloat ... because none of the relevant code can ever be
reused after module initialization.

We introduced 'io_sectors' recently so we could count the sectors that causes
io during resync separate from sectors which didn't cause IO - there can be a
difference if a bitmap is being used to accelerate resync.

However when a speed is reported, we find the number of sectors processed
recently by subtracting an oldish io_sectors count from a current
'curr_resync' count.  This is wrong because curr_resync counts all sectors,
not just io sectors.

So, add a field to mddev to store the curren io_sectors separately from
curr_resync, and use that in the calculations.
