This patch renders thread_struct->pmcs[] and thread_struct->pmds[] OBSOLETE. The actual table is moved to pfm_context structure which saves space in thread_struct (in turn saving space in task_struct which frees up more space for kernel stacks).

Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation. This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks internally. FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some network filesystems would need this also. Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking request in this case.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

More importantly, the session will remain reserved. This patch fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: <stephane.eranian@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Patch from Charles Spirakis Some linux customers want to optimize their applications on the latest hardware but are not yet willing to upgrade to the latest kernel. This patch provides a way to plug in an alternate, basic, and GPL'ed PMU subsystem to help with their monitoring needs or for specialty work. It can also be used in case of serious unexpected bugs in perfmon. Mutual exclusion between the two subsystems is guaranteed, hence no conflict can arise from both subsystem being present.

The pmu_active test is based on the values of PSR.up. THIS IS THE PROBLEM as it does not take into account the lazy restore logic which is as follow (simplified): context switch out: save PMDs clear psr.up release ownership context switch in: if (ctx->last_cpu == smp_processor_id() && ctx->cpu_activation == cpu_activation) { set psr.up return } restore PMD restore PMC ctx->last_cpu = smp_processor_id(); ctx->activation = ++cpu_activation; set psr.up The key here is that on context switch out, we clear psr.up and on context switch in we check if nobody else used the PMU on that processor since last time we came. In that case, we assume the PMD/PMC are ours and we simply reactivate. The Caliper problem is that between the moment we context switch out and the moment we come back, nobody effectively used the PMU BUT the processor went idle. Normally this would have no incidence but PAL_HALT does alter the PMU registers. In default_idle(), the test on psr.up is not strong enough to cover this case and we go into PAL which trashed the PMU resgisters. When we come back we falsely assume that this is our state yet it is corrupted. Very nasty indeed. To avoid the problem it is necessary to forbid going to PAL_HALT as soon as perfmon installs some valid state in the PMU registers. This happens with an application attaches a context to a thread or CPU. It is not enough to check the psr/dcr bits. Hence I propose the attached patch. It adds a callback in process.c to modify the condition to enter PAL on idle. Basically, now it is conditional to pal_halt=1 AND perfmon saying it is okay.

There is a path where pfm_handle_work() can be called with interrupts enabled, i.e., when TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
