0203026b58 perf_counter: fix threaded task exit
Flushing counters in __exit_signal() with irqs disabled is not
a good idea as perf_counter_exit_task() acquires mutexes. So
flush it before acquiring the tasklist lock.

(Note, we still need a fix for when the PID has been unhashed.)

856d56b9e5 perf_counter: Fix counter inheritance
Srivatsa Vaddagiri reported that a Java workload triggers this
warning in kernel/exit.c:

   WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&tsk->perf_counter_ctx.counter_list));

Add the inherited counter propagation on self-detach, this could
cause counter leaks and incomplete stats in threaded code like
the below:

  #include <pthread.h>
  #include <unistd.h>

  void *thread(void *arg)
  {
          sleep(5);
          return NULL;
  }

  void main(void)
  {
          pthread_t thr;
          pthread_create(&thr, NULL, thread, NULL);
  }

8bc2095951 perf_counter: Fix inheritance cleanup code
Clean up code that open-coded the list_{add,del}_counter() code in
__perf_counter_exit_task() which consequently diverged. This could
lead to software counter crashes.

Also, fold the ctx->nr_counter inc/dec into those functions and clean
up some of the related code.

9d23a90a67 perf_counter: allow arch to supply event misc flags and instruction pointer
At present the values we put in overflow events for the misc
flags indicating processor mode and the instruction pointer are
obtained using the standard user_mode() and
instruction_pointer() functions. Those functions tell you where
the performance monitor interrupt was taken, which might not be
exactly where the counter overflow occurred, for example
because interrupts were disabled at the point where the
overflow occurred, or because the processor had many
instructions in flight and chose to complete some more
instructions beyond the one that caused the counter overflow.

Some architectures (e.g. powerpc) can supply more precise
information about where the counter overflow occurred and the
processor mode at that point.  This introduces new functions,
perf_misc_flags() and perf_instruction_pointer(), which arch
code can override to provide more precise information if
available.  They have default implementations which are
identical to the existing code.

This also adds a new misc flag value,
PERF_EVENT_MISC_HYPERVISOR, for the case where a counter
overflow occurred in the hypervisor.  We encode the processor
mode in the 2 bits previously used to indicate user or kernel
mode; the values for user and kernel mode are unchanged and
hypervisor mode is indicated by both bits being set.

9e35ad388b perf_counter: Rework the perf counter disable/enable
The current disable/enable mechanism is:

	token = hw_perf_save_disable();
	...
	/* do bits */
	...
	hw_perf_restore(token);

This works well, provided that the use nests properly. Except we don't.

x86 NMI/INT throttling has non-nested use of this, breaking things. Therefore
provide a reference counter disable/enable interface, where the first disable
disables the hardware, and the last enable enables the hardware again.

e758a33d6f perf_counter: call hw_perf_save_disable/restore around group_sched_in
I noticed that when enabling a group via the PERF_COUNTER_IOC_ENABLE
ioctl on the group leader, the counters weren't enabled and counting
immediately on return from the ioctl, but did start counting a little
while later (presumably after a context switch).

The reason was that __perf_counter_enable calls group_sched_in which
calls hw_perf_group_sched_in, which on powerpc assumes that the caller
has called hw_perf_save_disable already.  Until commit 46d686c6
("perf_counter: put whole group on when enabling group leader") it was
true that all callers of group_sched_in had called
hw_perf_save_disable first, and the powerpc hw_perf_group_sched_in
relies on that (there isn't an x86 version).

This fixes the problem by putting calls to hw_perf_save_disable /
hw_perf_restore around the calls to group_sched_in and
counter_sched_in in __perf_counter_enable.  Having the calls to
hw_perf_save_disable/restore around the counter_sched_in call is
harmless and makes this call consistent with the other call sites
of counter_sched_in, which have all called hw_perf_save_disable first.

a08b159fc2 perf_counter: don't count scheduler ticks as context switches
The context-switch software counter gives inflated values at present
because each scheduler tick and each process-wide counter
enable/disable prctl gets counted as a context switch.

This happens because perf_counter_task_tick, perf_counter_task_disable
and perf_counter_task_enable all call perf_counter_task_sched_out,
which calls perf_swcounter_event to record a context switch event.

This fixes it by introducing a variant of perf_counter_task_sched_out
with two underscores in front for internal use within the perf_counter
code, and makes perf_counter_task_{tick,disable,enable} call it.  This
variant doesn't record a context switch event, and takes a struct
perf_counter_context *.  This adds the new variant rather than
changing the behaviour or interface of perf_counter_task_sched_out
because that is called from other code.

6751b71ea2 perf_counter: Put whole group on when enabling group leader
Currently, if you have a group where the leader is disabled and there
are siblings that are enabled, and then you enable the leader, we only
put the leader on the PMU, and not its enabled siblings.  This is
incorrect, since the enabled group members should be all on or all off
at any given point.

This fixes it by adding a call to group_sched_in in
__perf_counter_enable in the case where we're enabling a group leader.

To avoid the need for a forward declaration this also moves
group_sched_in up before __perf_counter_enable.  The actual content of
group_sched_in is unchanged by this patch.

3df5edad87 perf_counter: rework ioctl()s
Corey noticed that ioctl()s on grouped counters didn't work on
the whole group. This extends the ioctl() interface to take a
second argument that is interpreted as a flags field. We then
provide PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP to toggle the behaviour.

Having this flag gives the greatest flexibility, allowing you
to individually enable/disable/reset counters in a group, or
all together.

4aeb0b4239 perfcounters: rename struct hw_perf_counter_ops into struct pmu
This patch renames struct hw_perf_counter_ops into struct pmu. It
introduces a structure to describe a cpu specific pmu (performance
monitoring unit). It may contain ops and data. The new name of the
structure fits better, is shorter, and thus better to handle. Where it
was appropriate, names of function and variable have been changed too.

0c8454f566 PM/Hibernate: Fix waiting for image device to appear on resume
Commit c751085943 ("PM/Hibernate: Wait for
SCSI devices scan to complete during resume") added a call to
scsi_complete_async_scans() to software_resume(), so that it waited for
the SCSI scanning to complete, but the call was added at a wrong place.

Namely, it should have been added after wait_for_device_probe(), which
is called only if the image partition hasn't been specified yet.  Also,
it's reasonable to check if the image partition is present and only wait
for the device probing and SCSI scanning to complete if it is not the
case.

Additionally, since noresume is checked right at the beginning of
software_resume() and the function returns immediately if it's set, it
doesn't make sense to check it once again later.

This allows us to put unused clocksources in power save mode.  The

6a7c7eaf71 PM/Suspend: Introduce two new platform callbacks to avoid breakage
Commit 900af0d973 (PM: Change suspend
code ordering) changed the ordering of suspend code in such a way
that the platform .prepare() callback is now executed after the
device drivers' late suspend callbacks have run.  Unfortunately, this
turns out to break ARM platforms that need to talk via I2C to power
control devices during the .prepare() callback.

For this reason introduce two new platform suspend callbacks,
.prepare_late() and .wake(), that will be called just prior to
disabling non-boot CPUs and right after bringing them back on line,
respectively, and use them instead of .prepare() and .finish() for
ACPI suspend.  Make the PM core execute the .prepare() and .finish()
platform suspend callbacks where they were executed previously (that
is, right after calling the regular suspend methods provided by
device drivers and right before executing their regular resume
methods, respectively).

It is not necessary to make analogous changes to the hibernation
code and data structures at the moment, because they are only used
by ACPI platforms.

ff54250a0e Remove 'recurse into child resources' logic from 'reserve_region_with_split()'
This function is not actually used right now, since the original use
case for it was done with insert_resource_expand_to_fit() instead.

However, we now have another usage case that wants to basically do a
"reserve IO resource, splitting around existing resources", however that
one doesn't actually want the "recurse into the conflicting resource"
logic at all.

And since recursing into the conflicting resource was the most complex
part, and isn't wanted, just remove it.  Maybe we'll some day want both
versions, but we can just resurrect the logic then.
