David Woodhouse a304e1b828 [PATCH] Debug shared irqs
Drivers registering IRQ handlers with SA_SHIRQ really ought to be able to
handle an interrupt happening before request_irq() returns.  They also
ought to be able to handle an interrupt happening during the start of their
call to free_irq().  Let's test that hypothesis....

* Split the implementation-agnostic stuff in separate files.
* Make sure that targets using non-default request_irq() pull
  kernel/irq/devres.o
* Introduce new symbols (HAS_IOPORT and HAS_IOMEM) defaulting to positive;
  allow architectures to turn them off (we needed these symbols anyway for
  dependencies of quite a few drivers).
* protect the ioport-related parts of lib/devres.o with CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT.

Tejun Heo 9ac7849e35 devres: device resource management
Implement device resource management, in short, devres.  A device
driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated
with a release function.  On driver detach, release function is
invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed.

devreses are typed by associated release functions.  Some devreses are
better represented by single instance of the type while others need
multiple instances sharing the same release function.  Both usages are
supported.

devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver
can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization
or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4
ports).

This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following
managed interfaces.

* alloc/free	: devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree()
* IO region	: devm_request_region(), devm_release_region()
* IRQ		: devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq()
* DMA		: dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(),
		  dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(),
		  dmam_pool_destroy()
* PCI		: pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed()
* iomap		: devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(),
		  devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(),
		  pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap()

Eric W. Biederman b592fcfe7f sysfs: Shadow directory support
The problem.  When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name.  Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*. 

What I want is a separate /sys/class/net directory in sysfs for each
network namespace, and I want to name each of them /sys/class/net.

I looked and the VFS actually allows that.  All that is needed is
for /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect
lookups to the real directory you want. 

Implementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current
network namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a
clean approach.  Modifying sysfs so it doesn't get in my was is a bit
trickier. 

I am calling the concept of multiple directories all at the same path
in the filesystem shadow directories.  With the directory entry really
at that location the shadow master. 

The following patch modifies sysfs so it can handle a directory
structure slightly different from the kobject tree so I can implement
the shadow directories for handling /sys/class/net/.

If we allow NULL as the new parent in device_move(), we need to make sure
that the device is placed into the same place as it would if it was
newly registered:

- Consider the device virtual tree. In order to be able to reuse code,
  setup_parent() has been tweaked a bit.
- kobject_move() can fall back to the kset's kobject.
- sysfs_move_dir() uses the sysfs root dir as fallback.

Eric Dumazet 6a2d7a955d [PATCH] SLAB: use a multiply instead of a divide in obj_to_index()
When some objects are allocated by one CPU but freed by another CPU we can
consume lot of cycles doing divides in obj_to_index().

(Typical load on a dual processor machine where network interrupts are
handled by one particular CPU (allocating skbufs), and the other CPU is
running the application (consuming and freeing skbufs))

Here on one production server (dual-core AMD Opteron 285), I noticed this
divide took 1.20 % of CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events in kernel.  But Opteron are
quite modern cpus and the divide is much more expensive on oldest
architectures :

On a 200 MHz sparcv9 machine, the division takes 64 cycles instead of 1
cycle for a multiply.

Doing some math, we can use a reciprocal multiplication instead of a divide.

If we want to compute V = (A / B)  (A and B being u32 quantities)
we can instead use :

V = ((u64)A * RECIPROCAL(B)) >> 32 ;

where RECIPROCAL(B) is precalculated to ((1LL << 32) + (B - 1)) / B

Note :

I wrote pure C code for clarity. gcc output for i386 is not optimal but
acceptable :

mull   0x14(%ebx)
mov    %edx,%eax // part of the >> 32
xor     %edx,%edx // useless
mov    %eax,(%esp) // could be avoided
mov    %edx,0x4(%esp) // useless
mov    (%esp),%ebx

Akinobu Mita 329409aeda [PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filtering
This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature.

The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are
interested in.

For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into
only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call,
but also indirect allocation, too.

- e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone
  --> kmem_cache_alloc

This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace
and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh
helps it.

The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be
[/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text)

So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start
and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified
by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.

Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation
failures only for a specific module
in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 91768d6c2b [PATCH] Generic BUG for i386
This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery.  There are no functional
changes from the old i386 implementation.

The main advantage in using the generic BUG machinery for i386 is that the
inlined overhead of BUG is just the ud2a instruction; the file+line(+function)
information are no longer inlined into the instruction stream.  This reduces
cache pollution, and makes disassembly work properly.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 7664c5a1da [PATCH] Generic BUG implementation
This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as
they wish.  The code is derived from arch/powerpc.

The advantages of having common BUG handling are:
 - consistent BUG reporting across architectures
 - shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data
 - implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently

This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction
itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64.

A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction,
which has file/line information associated with it.  This extra information is
stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file.

When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might
possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction).
It then calls report_bug().  This searches __bug_table for a matching
instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line
information.  If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the
trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE.

Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the
illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG.

lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table
entries.  The architecture must call
module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding
module_finalize/cleanup functions.

Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount.
At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each
but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at
all.

Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so
architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in
the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point.
gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the
same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG
itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in
generating the __bug_table entry.

Derek Fults 22f2e28017 [PATCH] get_options to allow a hypenated range for isolcpus
This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed
to command line helper function, get_options.

Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a
list of cpus.

Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
Valid values of <cpu_number>  include all cpus, 0 to "number of CPUs in
system - 1". This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of
cpus on a large system.  The kernel isolcpus code would not need any
changing to use this feature.  To use it, the change would be in the
command line format for 'isolcpus='
Format:
<cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
or
<cpu number>-<cpu number>  (must be a positive range in ascending
order.)
or a mixture
<cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number>
