This fixes the cpu migration software counter to count correctly even when contexts get swapped from one task to another. Previously the cpu migration counts reported by perf stat were bogus, ranging from negative to several thousand for a single "lat_ctx 2 8 32" run. With this patch the cpu migration count reported for "lat_ctx 2 8 32" is almost always between 35 and 44. This fixes the problem by adding a call into the perf_counter code from set_task_cpu when tasks are migrated. This enables us to use the generic swcounter code (with some modifications) for the cpu migration counter. This modifies the swcounter code to allow a NULL regs pointer to be passed in to perf_swcounter_ctx_event() etc. The cpu migration counter does this because there isn't necessarily a pt_regs struct for the task available. In this case, the counter will not have interrupt capability - but the migration counter didn't have interrupt capability before, so this is no loss.

This arranges for perf_counter's notifier for cpu hotplug operations to be called earlier than the migration notifier in sched.c by increasing its priority to 20, compared to the 10 for the migration notifier. The reason for doing this is that a subsequent commit to convert the cpu migration counter to use the generic swcounter infrastructure will add a call into the perf_counter subsystem when tasks get migrated. Therefore the perf_counter subsystem needs a chance to initialize its per-cpu data for the new cpu before it can get called from the migration code. This also adds a comment to the migration notifier noting that its priority needs to be lower than that of the perf_counter notifier.

This changes perf_swcounter_match() so that per-task software counters can count events that occur while their associated task is not running. This will allow us to use the generic software counter code for counting task migrations, which can occur while the task is not scheduled in. To do this, we have to distinguish between the situations where the counter is inactive because its task has been scheduled out, and those where the counter is inactive because it is part of a group that was not able to go on the PMU. In the former case we want the counter to count, but not in the latter case. If the context is active, we have the latter case. If the context is inactive then we need to know whether the counter was counting when the context was last active, which we can determine by comparing its ->tstamp_stopped timestamp with the context's timestamp. This also folds three checks in perf_swcounter_match, checking perf_event_raw(), perf_event_type() and perf_event_id() individually, into a single 64-bit comparison on counter->hw_event.config, as an optimization.

This abstracts out the code for locking the context associated with a task. Because the context might get transferred from one task to another concurrently, we have to check after locking the context that it is still the right context for the task and retry if not. This was open-coded in find_get_context() and perf_counter_init_task(). This adds a further function for pinning the context for a task, i.e. marking it so it can't be transferred to another task. This adds a 'pin_count' field to struct perf_counter_context to indicate that a context is pinned, instead of the previous method of setting the parent_gen count to all 1s. Pinning the context with a pin_count is easier to undo and doesn't require saving the parent_gen value. This also adds a perf_unpin_context() to undo the effect of perf_pin_task_context() and changes perf_counter_init_task to use it.

Import Git's nice .txt => {man/html/pdf} generation machinery. Fix various errors in the Documentation/perf*.txt description as well. Also fix a bug in builtin-help: we'd map 'perf help top' to 'perftop' if only the 'perf' binary is in the default PATH - confusing the manpage logic. I dont fully understand why Git did it this way - but i suppose it's a migration artifact from their migration from standalone git-xyz commands to 'git xyz' commands. The perf tools were always using the modern form so it's not an issue there.

If you setserial a port which has never been initialised we change the type but don't update the I/O method pointers. The same problem is true if you change the io type of a port - but nobody ever does that so nobody noticed! Remember the old type and when attaching if the type has changed reload the port accessor pointers. We can't do it blindly as some 8250 drivers load custom accessors and we must not stomp those.

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302 hugetlbfs reserves huge pages but does not fault them at mmap() time to ensure that future faults succeed. The reservation behaviour differs depending on whether the mapping was mapped MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE. For MAP_SHARED mappings, hugepages are reserved when mmap() is first called and are tracked based on information associated with the inode. Other processes mapping MAP_SHARED use the same reservation. MAP_PRIVATE track the reservations based on the VMA created as part of the mmap() operation. Each process mapping MAP_PRIVATE must make its own reservation. hugetlbfs currently checks if a VMA is MAP_SHARED with the VM_SHARED flag and not VM_MAYSHARE. For file-backed mappings, such as hugetlbfs, VM_SHARED is set only if the mapping is MAP_SHARED and the file was opened read-write. If a shared memory mapping was mapped shared-read-write for populating of data and mapped shared-read-only by other processes, then hugetlbfs would account for the mapping as if it was MAP_PRIVATE. This causes processes to fail to map the file MAP_SHARED even though it should succeed as the reservation is there. This patch alters mm/hugetlb.c and replaces VM_SHARED with VM_MAYSHARE when the intent of the code was to check whether the VMA was mapped MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE.

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302 On x86 and x86-64, it is possible that page tables are shared beween shared mappings backed by hugetlbfs. As part of this, page_table_shareable() checks a pair of vma->vm_flags and they must match if they are to be shared. All VMA flags are taken into account, including VM_LOCKED. The problem is that VM_LOCKED is cleared on fork(). When a process with a shared memory segment forks() to exec() a helper, there will be shared VMAs with different flags. The impact is that the shared segment is sometimes considered shareable and other times not, depending on what process is checking. What happens is that the segment page tables are being shared but the count is inaccurate depending on the ordering of events. As the page tables are freed with put_page(), bad pmd's are found when some of the children exit. The hugepage counters also get corrupted and the Total and Free count will no longer match even when all the hugepage-backed regions are freed. This requires a reboot of the machine to "fix". This patch addresses the problem by comparing all flags except VM_LOCKED when deciding if pagetables should be shared or not for hugetlbfs-backed mapping.

The flat loader uses an architecture's flat_stack_align() to align the stack but assumes word-alignment is enough for the data sections. However, on the Xtensa S6000 we have registers up to 128bit width which can be used from userspace and therefor need userspace stack and data-section alignment of at least this size. This patch drops flat_stack_align() and uses the same alignment that is required for slab caches, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN, or wordsize if it's not defined by the architecture. It also fixes m32r which was obviously kaput, aligning an uninitialized stack entry instead of the stack pointer.

mapping->tree_lock can be acquired from interrupt context. Then, following dead lock can occur. Assume "A" as a page. CPU0: lock_page_cgroup(A) interrupted -> take mapping->tree_lock. CPU1: take mapping->tree_lock -> lock_page_cgroup(A) This patch tries to fix above deadlock by moving memcg's hook to out of mapping->tree_lock. charge/uncharge of pagecache/swapcache is protected by page lock, not tree_lock. After this patch, lock_page_cgroup() is not called under mapping->tree_lock.
