Andi Kleen pointed out that the Intel offcore support patches were merged
without user-space tool support to the functionality:

 |
 | The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the
 | user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask
 | and actually do the OFFCORE profiling
 |

Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an
extension to perf's raw event syntax:

 |
 | Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional
 | parameters. These can be appended after a ':'.
 |
 | For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem:
 |
 |    perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1
 |
 | Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0
 | that measures any access to DRAM on another socket.
 |

But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not
be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get
access to useful hardware functionality.

The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via
generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific
CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some
model specific quirky hexa number.

We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events,
and it's all very extensible.

"Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various
parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems.

We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the
fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate
generalization category.

That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access
profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like:

  perf record -e dram ./myapp
  perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp

... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM
accesses.

These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that
have comparable PMU features.

( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more
  sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around
  similarly simple usecases. )

Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they
are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented
in this commit:

  e994d7d2: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere

But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events
to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented
for these hardware event features.

( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be
  supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally
  useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely
  *not* such a category so generalization must be done first. )

Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended
to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above
e994d7d2 commit, not mentioned in the changelog.

As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable
the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released
kernel and becomes an ABI.

Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users
are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.

check_events() implementations in both ide-gd and ide-cd are
inadequate for in-kernel event polling.  Both generate media change
events continuously when certain conditions are met causing infinite
event loop between the driver and userland event handler.

As disk event now supports suppression of unlisted events, simply
de-listing DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from disk->events resolves the
problem.  Internal handling around media revalidation will behave the
same while userland will fall back to userland event polling after
detecting the device doesn't support disk events.

DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE is used for both userland visible event and
internal event for revalidation of removeable devices.  Some legacy
drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously
generate events under certain circumstances.  For example, ide-cd
generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive,
which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth
between the driver and userland event handler.

This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never
propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland.  Those
events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent
generation is suppressed.

This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised
in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.

In the case where a virtio-console port is in use (opened by a program)
and a virtio-console device is removed, the port is kept around but all
the virtio-related state is assumed to be gone.

When the port is finally released (close() called), we call
device_destroy() on the port's device.  This results in the parent
device's structures to be freed as well.  This includes the PCI regions
for the virtio-console PCI device.

Once this is done, however, virtio_pci_release_dev() kicks in, as the
last ref to the virtio device is now gone, and attempts to do

     pci_iounmap(pci_dev, vp_dev->ioaddr);
     pci_release_regions(pci_dev);
     pci_disable_device(pci_dev);

which results in a double-free warning.

Move the code that releases regions, etc., to the virtio_pci_remove()
function, and all that's now left in release_dev is the final freeing of
the vp_dev.

Intel VT-d Protected Memory Regions (PMRs) are supposed to be disabled,
on each VT-d engine, after DMA remapping is enabled on the engines.
This is because the behavior of having both enabled is not deterministic
and because, if TXT has been used to launch the kernel, the PMRs may be
programmed to cover memory regions that will be used for DMA.

Under some circumstances (certain quirks detected, lack of multiple
devices, etc.), the current code does not set up DMA remapping on some
VT-d engines.  In such cases it also skips disabling the PMRs.  This
causes failures when the kernel is launched with TXT (most often this
occurs on the graphics engine and results in colored vertical bars on
the display).

This patch detects when the kernel has been launched with TXT and then
disables the PMRs on all VT-d engines.  In some cases where the reason
that remapping is not being enabled is due to possible ACPI DMAR table
errors, the VT-d engine addresses may not be correct and thus not able
to be safely programmed even to disable PMRs.  Because part of the TXT
launch process is the verification of these addresses, it will always be
safe to disable PMRs if the TXT launch has succeeded and hence only
doing this in such cases.

The cpu<->node mappings under CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y
when NUMA emulation is enabled is currently broken because it does
not iterate through every emulated node and bind cpus that have
affinity to it.

NUMA emulation should bind each cpu to every local node to
accurately represent the true NUMA topology of the underlying
machine.

debug_cpumask_set_cpu() needs to be fixed at the same time so
that the debugging information that it emits shows the new
cpumask of the node being assigned when the cpu is being added
or removed.

It can now take responsibility of setting or clearing the cpu
itself to remove the need for duplicate code.

Also change its last parameter, "enable", to have the correct bool
type since it can only be true or false.

Andreas Herrmann reported that 7d6b4670 ("x86, NUMA: Fix fakenuma
boot failure") causes certain physical NUMA topologies (for example
AMD Magny-Cours) to move sibling cpus to a single node when in reality
they are in separate domains.

This may result in some nodes being completely void of cpus, which
doesn't accurately represent the correct topology. The system will
boot, but will have suboptimal NUMA performance.

This commit was intended as a fix for NUMA emulation, but should
not cause a regression for real NUMA machines as a side effect.

( There will be a separate fix for the numa-debug code, which
  will not affect physical topologies. )

page_count is copied from userspace.  agp_allocate_memory() tries to
check whether this number is too big, but doesn't take into account the
wrap case.  Also agp_create_user_memory() doesn't check whether
alloc_size is calculated from num_agp_pages variable without overflow.
This may lead to allocation of too small buffer with following buffer
overflow.

Another problem in agp code is not addressed in the patch - kernel memory
exhaustion (AGPIOC_RESERVE and AGPIOC_ALLOCATE ioctls).  It is not checked
whether requested pid is a pid of the caller (no check in agpioc_reserve_wrap()).
Each allocation is limited to 16KB, though, there is no per-process limit.
This might lead to OOM situation, which is not even solved in case of the
caller death by OOM killer - the memory is allocated for another (faked) process.

An open on a NFS4 share using the O_CREAT flag on an existing file for
which we have permissions to open but contained in a directory with no
write permissions will fail with EACCES.

A tcpdump shows that the client had set the open mode to UNCHECKED which
indicates that the file should be created if it doesn't exist and
encountering an existing flag is not an error. Since in this case the
file exists and can be opened by the user, the NFS server is wrong in
attempting to check create permissions on the parent directory.

The two "is_early_ioremap_ptep" checks in mask_rw_pte are only used on

pagetable on x86_32.
Moreover on x86_32 the two checks are wrong because the range
pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end initially should be mapped RW because
the pages in the range are not pagetable pages yet and haven't been
cleared yet. Afterwards considering the pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end is
part of the initial mapping, xen_alloc_pte is capable of turning
the ptes RO when they become pagetable pages.
