The current disable/enable mechanism is:

	token = hw_perf_save_disable();
	...
	/* do bits */
	...
	hw_perf_restore(token);

This works well, provided that the use nests properly. Except we don't.

x86 NMI/INT throttling has non-nested use of this, breaking things. Therefore
provide a reference counter disable/enable interface, where the first disable
disables the hardware, and the last enable enables the hardware again.

Corey noticed that ioctl()s on grouped counters didn't work on
the whole group. This extends the ioctl() interface to take a
second argument that is interpreted as a flags field. We then
provide PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP to toggle the behaviour.

Having this flag gives the greatest flexibility, allowing you

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer 
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.

This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.

This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.

(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)

This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.

Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 

Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b 
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)

Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.

This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.

Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
 skb_release_head_state()
  sock_wfree()
   sock_def_write_space()
    __wake_up_sync_key()

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.

Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.

I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place.  I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.

The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.  This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".

Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path

bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways.

* bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then
  ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs.

* bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity
  data.

This patch fixes the above problems.  kmalloc patch is separated out
from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as
inline bvecs.

* bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs.  None other than
  bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was
  allocated anyway.

* Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in
  bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets
  there.

* Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how
  they're used is more clear.

Jens Axboe suggested allocating bvecs inline.

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.

Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)

This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU().  This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.

On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section.  The linker throws
up the following errors:

kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o

To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU().  However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.
