Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.

All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages (callbacks) will be lost. For example: a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will will be supressed. - rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter.

Presently call_usermodehelper_setup() uses GFP_ATOMIC. but it can return NULL _very_ easily. GFP_ATOMIC is needed only when we can't sleep. and, GFP_KERNEL is robust and better. thus, I add gfp_mask argument to call_usermodehelper_setup(). So, its callers pass the gfp_t as below: call_usermodehelper() and call_usermodehelper_keys(): depend on 'wait' argument. call_usermodehelper_pipe(): always GFP_KERNEL because always run under process context. orderly_poweroff(): pass to GFP_ATOMIC because may run under interrupt context.

Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled. This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller. As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are measurable effects). This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think having more than two choices would be the better choice. This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy functions.

Changeset 7fa897b9 ("ide: trivial sparse annotations") created an IDE bootup regression on big-endian systems. In drivers/ide/ide-iops.c, function ide_fixstring() we now have the loop: for (p = end ; p != s;) be16_to_cpus((u16 *)(p -= 2)); which will never terminate on big-endian because in such a configuration be16_to_cpus() evaluates to "do { } while (0)" Therefore, always evaluate the arguments to nop endian transformation operations.

Rather than explicitly handing the features to the lower-level, we just hand the virtio_device and have it set the features.

Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size (like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd).

This updates <linux/bcd.h> to define the key routines as constant functions, which the macros will then call. Newer code can now call bcd2bin() instead of SCREAMING BCD2BIN() TO THE FOUR WINDS. This lets each driver shrink their codespace by using N function calls to a single (global) copy of those routines, instead of N inlined copies of these functions per driver. These routines aren't used in speed-critical code. Almost all callers are in the RTC framework. Typical per-driver savings is near 300 bytes.

Remove implicit use of BKL in ioctl() from the RTC framework. Instead, the rtc->ops_lock is used. That's the same lock that already protects the RTC operations when they're issued through the exported rtc_*() calls in drivers/rtc/interface.c ... making this a bugfix, not just a cleanup, since both ioctl calls and set_alarm() need to update IRQ enable flags and that implies a common lock (which RTC drivers as a rule do not provide on their own). A new comment at the declaration of "struct rtc_class_ops" summarizes current locking rules. It's not clear to me that the exceptions listed there should exist ... if not, those are pre-existing problems which can be fixed in a patch that doesn't relate to BKL removal.
