A bug in (9f498cc5: perf_counter: Full task tracing) makes
profiling multi-threaded apps it go belly up.

[ output as: (PID:TID):(PPID:PTID) ]

 # ./perf report -D | grep FORK
0x4b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3237):(3236:3236)
0xa10 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3238):(3236:3236)
0xa70 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3239):(3236:3236)
0xad0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3240):(3236:3236)
0xb18 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3241):(3236:3236)

Shows us that the test (27d028de perf report: Update for the new
FORK/EXIT events) in builtin-report.c:

        /*
         * A thread clone will have the same PID for both
         * parent and child.
         */
        if (thread == parent)
                return 0;

Will clearly fail.

The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual
parent, instead of the cloning thread.

Fixing that (with the below patch), yields:

 # ./perf report -D | grep FORK
0x4c8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1590):(1589:1589)
0xbd8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1591):(1590:1590)
0xc80 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1592):(1590:1590)
0x3338 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1593):(1590:1590)
0x66b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1594):(1590:1590)

Which both makes more sense and doesn't confuse perf report
anymore.

perf_pending_counter() is called from IRQ context and will call
perf_counter_disable(), however perf_counter_disable() uses
smp_call_function_single() which doesn't fancy being used with
IRQs disabled due to IPI deadlocks.

Fix this by making it use the local __perf_counter_disable()
call and teaching the counter_sched_out() code about pending
disables as well.

This should cover the case where a counter migrates before the
pending queue gets processed.

perf_swcounter_is_counting() uses a lock, which means we cannot
use swcounters from NMI or when holding that particular lock,
this is unintended.

The below removes the lock, this opens up race window, but not
worse than the swcounters already experience due to RCU
traversal of the context in perf_swcounter_ctx_event().

This also fixes the hard lockups while opening a lockdep
tracepoint counter.

Add a new flag field while opening a tracepoint perf counter:

	-e tracepoint_subsystem:tracepoint_name:flags

This is intended to be generic although for now it only supports the
r[e[c[o[r[d]]]]] flag:

	./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record
	./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:r

will have the same effect: enabling the raw samples record for
the given tracepoint counter.

In the future, we may want to support further flags, separated
by commas.

Johannes Stezenbach reported that his Pentium-M based
laptop does not have the local APIC enabled by default,
and hence perfcounters do not get initialized.

Add a fallback for this case: allow non-sampled counters
and return with an error on sampled counters. This allows
'perf stat' to work out of box - and allows 'perf top'
and 'perf record' to fall back on a hrtimer based sampling
method.

( Passing 'lapic' on the boot line will allow hardware
  sampling to occur - but if the APIC is disabled
  permanently by the hardware then this fallback still
  allows more systems to use perfcounters. )

Also decouple perfcounter support from X86_LOCAL_APIC.

-v2: fix typo breaking counters on all other systems ...

It is better than showing the map addr, this way at least we
know that we can't get the symtabs because the DSO was deleted
(system update) while an app still used such DSO.

Yeah, don't do that, but if you do, you'll figure it out
quicker this way.

Commit d945cb9c ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering
logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which
then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data
properly when the tty is stopped.

So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc
layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty.  The pty write()
routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check
'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written.

This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc
layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things,
but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped'
handling.

  PCI hotplug: SGI hotplug: do not use hotplug_slot_attr

Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case:

| pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case
| in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong
| CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success
| section.

I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact
that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no
serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in
the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle
counter was read without proper serialization.

The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since
_inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has
the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration.

So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one
that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the
final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized.

In other words:

 - I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last
   iteration, rather than in every iteration

 - I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a
   serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read.

Here's a suggested replacement.

We compute the perf raw sample size by aligning the raw ftrace
event size plus the buffer size field itself. We do that
instead of aligning only the perf raw sample size, so that we
might economize some in some cases.

But this buffer size field is not stored in the perf raw
sample, we must then substract its size from the buffer once we
computed the alignment unless we may get a useless u32 field in
the buffer.

The problem is minor, but without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.

Now we do not need to re-check task->mm after ptrace_may_access(), it
can't be changed to the new mm under us.

Strictly speaking, this also fixes another very minor problem. Unless
security check fails or the task exits mm_for_maps() should never
return NULL, the caller should get either old or new ->mm.

mm_for_maps() takes ->mmap_sem after security checks, this looks
strange and obfuscates the locking rules. Move this lock to its
single caller, m_start().

It would be nice to kill __ptrace_may_access(). It requires task_lock(),
but this lock is only needed to read mm->flags in the middle.

Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies
the code a little bit.

Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think
mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should
take this lock.

With or without this patch, without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.

PERF_SAMPLE_* output switches should unconditionally output the
correct format, as they are the only way to unambiguously parse
the PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE data.

On an iMac G5, the b43 driver is failing to initialise because trying to
set the dma mask to 30-bit fails. Even though there's only 512MiB of RAM
in the machine anyway:

We should probably let it succeed if the available RAM in the system
doesn't exceed the requested limit.
