e360adbe29 irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks
Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.

Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.

The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.

Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

87400e5406 Fix up more fallout form alpha signal cleanups
Commit c52c2ddc1d ("alpha: switch osf_sigprocmask() to use of
sigprocmask()") had several problems.  The more obvious compile issues
got fixed in commit 0f44fbd297 ("alpha: fix compile problem in
arch/alpha/kernel/signal.c"), but it also caused a regression.

Since _BLOCKABLE is already the set of signals that can be blocked, the
code should do "newmask & _BLOCKABLE" rather than inverting _BLOCKABLE
before masking.

77edffb652 alpha: fix hae_cache race in RESTORE_ALL
We want interrupts disabled on all paths leading to RESTORE_ALL;
otherwise, we are risking an IRQ coming between the updates of
alpha_mv->hae_cache and *alpha_mv->hae_register and set_hae()
within the IRQ getting badly confused.

RESTORE_ALL used to play with disabling IRQ itself, but that got
removed back in 2002, without making sure we had them disabled
on all paths.  It's cheaper to make sure we have them disabled than
to revert to original variant...

Remove the detritus left from that commit back in 2002; we used to
need a reload of $0 and $1 since swpipl would change those, but
doing that had become pointless when we stopped doing swpipl in
there...

494486a1d2 alpha: deal with multiple simultaneously pending signals
Unlike the other targets, alpha sets _one_ sigframe and
buggers off until the next syscall/interrupt, even if
more signals are pending.  It leads to quite a few unpleasant
inconsistencies, starting with SIGSEGV potentially arriving
not where it should and including e.g. mess with sigsuspend();
consider two pending signals blocked until sigsuspend()
unblocks them.  We pick the first one; then, if we are hit
by interrupt while in the handler, we process the second one
as well.  If we are not, and if no syscalls had been made,
we get out of the first handler and leave the second signal
pending; normally sigreturn() would've picked it anyway, but
here it starts with restoring the original mask and voila -
the second signal is blocked again.  On everything else we
get both delivered consistently.

It's actually easy to fix; the only thing to watch out for
is prevention of double syscall restart.  Fortunately, the
idea I've nicked from arm fix by rmk works just fine...

Testcase demonstrating the behaviour in question; on alpha
we get one or both flags set (usually one), on everything
else both are always set.
	#include <signal.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	int had1, had2;
	void f1(int sig) { had1 = 1; }
	void f2(int sig) { had2 = 1; }
	main()
	{
		sigset_t set1, set2;
		sigemptyset(&set1);
		sigemptyset(&set2);
		sigaddset(&set2, 1);
		sigaddset(&set2, 2);
		signal(1, f1);
		signal(2, f2);
		sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &set2, NULL);
		raise(1);
		raise(2);
		sigsuspend(&set1);
		printf("had1:%d had2:%d\n", had1, had2);
	}

5329363861 alpha: fix a 14 years old bug in sigreturn tracing
The way sigreturn() is implemented on alpha breaks PTRACE_SYSCALL,
all way back to 1.3.95 when alpha has grown PTRACE_SYSCALL support.

What happens is direct return to ret_from_syscall, in order to bypass
mangling of a3 (error indicator) and prevent other mutilations of
registers (e.g. by syscall restart).  That's fine, but... the entire
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE codepath is kept separate on alpha and post-syscall
stopping/notifying the tracer is after the syscall.  And the normal
path we are forcibly switching to doesn't have it.

So we end up with *one* stop in traced sigreturn() vs. two in other
syscalls.  And yes, strace is visibly broken by that; try to strace
the following
	#include <signal.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	void f(int sig) {}
	main()
	{
		signal(SIGHUP, f);
		raise(SIGHUP);
		write(1, "eeeek\n", 6);
	}
and watch the show.  The
	close(1)                                = 405
in the end of strace output is coming from return value of write() (6 ==
__NR_close on alpha) and syscall number of exit_group() (__NR_exit_group ==
405 there).

The fix is fairly simple - the only thing we end up missing is the call
of syscall_trace() and we can tell whether we'd been called from the
SYSCALL_TRACE path by checking ra value.  Since we are setting the
switch_stack up (that's what sys_sigreturn() does), we have the right
environment for calling syscall_trace() - just before we call
undo_switch_stack() and return.  Since undo_switch_stack() will overwrite
s0 anyway, we can use it to store the result of "has it been called from
SYSCALL_TRACE path?" check.  The same thing applies in rt_sigreturn().

392fb6e354 alpha: unb0rk sigsuspend() and rt_sigsuspend()
Old code used to set regs->r0 and regs->r19 to force the right
return value.  Leaving that after switch to ERESTARTNOHAND
was a Bad Idea(tm), since now that screws the restart - if we
hit the case when get_signal_to_deliver() returns 0, we will
step back to syscall insn, with v0 set to EINTR and a3 to 1.
The latter won't matter, since EINTR is 4, aka __NR_write.

Testcase:

	#include <signal.h>
	#define _GNU_SOURCE
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/syscall.h>

	main()
	{
		sigset_t mask;
		sigemptyset(&mask);
		sigaddset(&mask, SIGCONT);
		sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &mask, NULL);
		kill(0, SIGCONT);
		syscall(__NR_sigsuspend, 1, "b0rken\n", 7);
	}

results on alpha in immediate message to stdout...

Fix is obvious; moreover, since we don't need regs anymore, we can
switch to normal prototypes for these guys and lose the wrappers.
Even better, rt_sigsuspend() is identical to generic version in
kernel/signal.c now.

Pending work from the performance event subsystem is executed in

perf_event_do_pending() before the call to update_process_times()

a4eaf7f146 perf: Rework the PMU methods
Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.

The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.

This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).

It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).

The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:

 1) We disable the counter:
    a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
    b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state

 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

d7627467b7 Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:

arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.

Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

65d920646a alpha: add performance monitor interrupt counter
The following patches implement hardware performance events for the Alpha
EV67 and later CPUs.  I have had this running on a Compaq XP1000 (EV67,
single CPU) for a few days now.  Pretty cool -- discovered that the glibc
exp2() library routine uses on average 985 cycles to execute 777 CPU
instructions whereas Compaq's CPML library version of exp2() uses on
average 32 cycles to execute 47 CPU instructions to achieve the same
thing!

This patch:

Add performance monitor interrupt counternd and export the count to user
space via /proc/interrupts.

ebabe9a900 pass a struct path to vfs_statfs
We'll need the path to implement the flags field for statvfs support.
We do have it available in all callers except:

 - ecryptfs_statfs.  This one doesn't actually need vfs_statfs but just
   needs to do a caller to the lower filesystem statfs method.
 - sys_ustat.  Add a non-exported statfs_by_dentry helper for it which
   doesn't won't be able to fill out the flags field later on.

In addition rename the helpers for statfs vs fstatfs to do_*statfs instead
of the misleading vfs prefix.

9ce34c8f44 Convert alpha to use clocksources instead of arch_gettimeoffset
Alpha has a tsc like rpcc counter that it uses to manage time.
This can be converted to an actual clocksource instead of utilizing
the arch_gettimeoffset method that is really only there for legacy
systems with no continuous counter.

Further cleanups could be made if alpha converted to the clockevent
model.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

This patch converts the alpha architecture to use the generic

further cleanups in the future.

I have not built or tested this patch, so help from arch maintainers

c186caca3d dma-mapping: alpha: use include/linux/pci-dma-compat.h
This converts Alpha to use include/linux/pci-dma-compat.h.  Alpha is the
only architecutre that implements the PCI DMA API in the own way.  That
makes it difficult to implement the generic DMA API via the PCI bus
specific DMA API.

The generic DMA API calls the PCI DMA API implementation in
arch/alpha/kernel/pci_iommu.c on non Jensen systems.  It calls the DMA API
in arch/alpha/kernel/pci-noop.c on Jensen systems.

fd341abba6 alpha: use generic ptrace_resume code
Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.

Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't, which is consistent with all architectures using the
modern ptrace code.
