Provide a way to reset an existing counter - this eases PAPI

Similar to read() it doesn't collapse pending child counters.

Keep data_head up-to-date irrespective of notifications. This fixes
the case where you disable a counter and don't get a notification for
the last few pending events, and it also allows polling usage.

This patch adds stats to the ftrace ring buffers:
# cat /debugfs/tracing/per_cpu/cpu0/stats
entries: 42360
overrun: 30509326
commit overrun: 0
nmi dropped: 0
Where entries are the total number of data entries in the buffer.
overrun is the number of entries not consumed and were overwritten by
the writer.
commit overrun is the number of entries dropped due to nested writers
wrapping the buffer before the initial writer finished the commit.
nmi dropped is the number of entries dropped due to the ring buffer
lock being held when an nmi was going to write to the ring buffer.
Note, this field will be meaningless and will go away when the ring
buffer becomes lockless.

The WARN_ON in the ring buffer when a commit is preempted and the
buffer is filled by preceding writes can happen in normal operations.
The WARN_ON makes it look like a bug, not to mention, because
it does not stop tracing and calls printk which can also recurse, this
is prone to deadlock (the WARN_ON is not in a position to recurse).
This patch removes the WARN_ON and replaces it with a counter that
can be retrieved by a tracer. This counter is called commit_overrun.
While at it, I added a nmi_dropped counter to count any time an NMI entry
is dropped because the NMI could not take the spinlock.

Now percpu counters can be initialized very early. But the init

percpu scheduling for perfcounters wants to take the context lock,
but that lock first needs to be initialized. Currently it is an
early_initcall() - but that is too late, the task tick runs much
sooner than that.
Call it explicitly from the scheduler init sequence instead.

Some arches don't supply their own clocksource. This is mainly the
case in architectures that get their inter-tick times by reading the
counter on their interval timer. Since these timers wrap every tick,
they're not really useful as clocksources. Wrapping them to act like
one is possible but not very efficient. So we provide a callout these
arches can implement for use with the jiffies clocksource to provide
finer then tick granular time.

Setup clocksource mult_orig in clocksource_enable().
Clocksource drivers can save power by using keeping the
device clock disabled while the clocksource is unused.
In practice this means that the enable() and disable()
callbacks perform clk_enable() and clk_disable().
The enable() callback may also use clk_get_rate() to get
the clock rate from the clock framework. This information
can then be used to calculate the shift and mult variables.
Currently the mult_orig variable is setup from mult at
registration time only. This is conflicting with the above
case since the clock is disabled and the mult variable is
not yet calculated at the time of registration.
Moving the mult_orig setup code to clocksource_enable()
allows us to both handle the common case with no enable()
callback and the mult-changed-after-enable() case.

tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event
device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource.
Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid
clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when
using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once
per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available.
Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through
the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or
more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to
think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail
causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops
forever.

This reverts commit 044d408409cc4e1bc75c886e27ca85c270db104c.
The commit added a warning when handle_IRQ_event() is called outside
of hard interrupt context. This breaks the generic tasklet based
interrupt resend mechanism which is used when the hardware has no way
to retrigger the interrupt. So we get a warning for a use case which
is correct and worked for years. Remove it.

When two (or more) contexts output to the same buffer, it is possible
to observe half written output.
Suppose we have CPU0 doing perf_counter_mmap(), CPU1 doing
perf_counter_overflow(). If CPU1 does a wakeup and exposes head to

I was never able to understand what should we actually do when
security_task_wait() fails, but the current code doesn't look right.
If ->task_wait() returns the error, we update *notask_error correctly.
But then we either reap the child (despite the fact this was forbidden)
or clear *notask_error (and hide the securiy policy problems).
This patch assumes that "stolen by ptrace" doesn't matter. If selinux
denies the child we should ignore it but make sure we report -EACCESS
instead of -ECHLD if there are no other eligible children.

The new requeue PI futex op codes were modeled after the existing
FUTEX_REQUEUE and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE calls. I was unaware at the time
that FUTEX_REQUEUE was only around for compatibility reasons and
shouldn't be used in new code. Ulrich Drepper elaborates on this in his
Futexes are Tricky paper: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/futex.pdf.
The deprecated call doesn't catch changes to the futex corresponding to
the destination futex which can lead to deadlock.
Therefor, I feel it best to remove FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI and leave only
FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI as there are not yet any existing users of the API.
This patch does change the OP code value of FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI to 12
from 13. Since my test case is the only known user of this API, I felt
this was the right thing to do, rather than leave a hole in the
enumeration.
I chose to continue using the _CMP_ modifier in the OP code to make it
explicit to the user that the test is being done.
Builds, boots, and ran several hundred iterations requeue_pi.c.

Andrew Gallatin reported that IRQ and SOFTIRQ times were
sometime not reported correctly on recent kernels, and even
bisected to commit 457533a7d3402d1d91fbc125c8bd1bd16dcd3cd4
([PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting) as the first
bad commit.
Further analysis pointed that commit
79741dd35713ff4f6fd0eafd59fa94e8a4ba922d ([PATCH] idle cputime
accounting) was the real cause of the problem.
account_process_tick() was not taking into account timer IRQ
interrupting the idle task servicing a hard or soft irq.
On mostly idle cpu, irqs were thus not accounted and top or
mpstat could tell user/admin that cpu was 100 % idle, 0.00 %
irq, 0.00 % softirq, while it was not.

Add a section to the memory barriers document to note the implied
memory barriers of sleep primitives (set_current_state() and wrappers)
and wake-up primitives (wake_up() and co.).
Also extend the in-code comments on the wake_up() functions to note
these implied barriers.

"tracing: create automated trace defines" causes this compile error on s390,
as reported by Sachin Sant against linux-next:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `__do_softirq':
(.text+0x1c680): undefined reference to `__tracepoint_softirq_entry'
This happens because the definitions of the softirq tracepoints were moved
from kernel/softirq.c to kernel/irq/handle.c. Since s390 doesn't support
generic hardirqs handle.c doesn't get compiled and the definitions are
missing.
So move the tracepoints to softirq.c again.

Replace the current event parser hack with a better one. Filters are
no longer specified predicate by predicate, but all at once and can
use parens and any of the following operators:
numeric fields:
==, !=, <, <=, >, >=
string fields:
==, !=
predicates can be combined with the logical operators:
&&, ||
examples:
"common_preempt_count > 4" > filter
"((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || sig == 17) && comm != bash" > filter
If there was an error, the erroneous string along with an error
message can be seen by looking at the filter e.g.:
((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || dsig == 17) && comm != bash
^
parse_error: Field not found
Currently the caret for an error always appears at the beginning of
the filter; a real position should be used, but the error message
should be useful even without it.
To clear a filter, '0' can be written to the filter file.
Filters can also be set or cleared for a complete subsystem by writing
the same filter as would be written to an individual event to the
filter file at the root of the subsytem. Note however, that if any
event in the subsystem lacks a field specified in the filter being
set, the set will fail and all filters in the subsytem are
automatically cleared. This change from the previous version was made
because using only the fields that happen to exist for a given event
would most likely result in a meaningless filter.
Because the logical operators are now implemented as predicates, the
maximum number of predicates in a filter was increased from 8 to 16.

The new filter comparison ops need to be able to distinguish between
signed and unsigned field types, so add an is_signed flag/param to the
event field struct/trace_define_fields(). Also define a simple macro,
is_signed_type() to determine the signedness at compile time, used in the
trace macros. If the is_signed_type() macro won't work with a specific
type, a new slightly modified version of TRACE_FIELD() called
TRACE_FIELD_SIGN(), allows the signedness to be set explicitly.

Create a new event_filter object, and move the pred-related members
out of the call and subsystem objects and into the filter object - the
details of the filter implementation don't need to be exposed in the
call and subsystem in any case, and it will also help make the new
parser implementation a little cleaner.

The pages allocated for the splice binary buffer did not initialize

Splice works with pages, it is much more effecient to use an entire
page than to copy bits over several pages.
Using logdev to trace the internals of the splice mechanism, I was
able to see that splice can be very aggressive. When tracing is
occurring, and the reader caught up to the writer, and the writer
is on the reader page, the reader will copy what is there into the
splice page. Splice may iterate over several pages and if the
writer is still writing to the page, the reader will keep copying
bits to new pages to pass to userspace.
This patch changes it to only pass data to userspace if the page
is full (the writer has left the page). This has a small side effect
that splice can not read a partial page, and must wait for the
page to fill. This should not be an issue. If tracing has stopped,
then a use of "read" will still read all of the page.

The splice code allocates a page even when the ring buffer is empty.
It detects the ring buffer being empty when it it fails to copy
anything from the ring buffer into the page.
This patch adds a check to see if there is anything in the ring buffer
before allocating a page.
Thanks to logdev for letting me trace the tracer to find this.

ftrace_dump is used for printing out the contents of the ftrace ring buffer
to the console on failure. Currently it uses a spinlock to synchronize
the output from multiple failures on different CPUs. This spin lock
currently is a normal spinlock and can cause issues with lockdep and
lock tracing.
This patch converts it to raw since it is for error handling only.
The lock is local to the ftrace_dump and is not used by any other
infrastructure.

This simplifies the node awareness of the code. All our allocators
only deal with a NUMA node ID locality not with CPU ids anyway - so
there's no need to maintain (and transform) a CPU id all across the
IRq layer.

irq_set_affinity() and move_masked_irq() try to assign affinity
before calling chip set_affinity(). Some archs are assigning it
in ->set_affinity() again.
We do something like:
cpumask_cpy(desc->affinity, mask);
desc->chip->set_affinity(mask);
But in the failure path, affinity should not be touched - otherwise
we'll end up with a different affinity mask despite the failure to
migrate the IRQ.
So try to update the afffinity only if set_affinity returns with 0.
Also call irq_set_thread_affinity accordingly.
v2: update after "irq, x86: Remove IRQ_DISABLED check in process context IRQ move"
v3: according to Ingo, change set_affinity() in irq_chip should return int.
v4: update comments by removing moving irq_desc code.

The original feature of migrating irq_desc dynamic was too fragile
and was causing problems: it caused crashes on systems with lots of
cards with MSI-X when user-space irq-balancer was enabled.
We now have new patches that create irq_desc according to device
numa node. This patch removes the leftover bits of the dynamic balancer.

CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK is not defined anywhere (it is CPUMASK_OFFSTACK).
It is a typo and init_allocate_desc_masks() is called before it set
affinity to all cpus...
Split init_alloc_desc_masks() into all_desc_masks() and init_desc_masks().
Also use CPUMASK_OFFSTACK in alloc_desc_masks().
