32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.
setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.
v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.
Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
volatile memory (memory that can be freed).
This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
otherwise.
Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
and document the function.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.
For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.
This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

To avoid forking usermode thread when creating an idle task, move fork_idle
to a work queue.
If kernel starts with maxcpus= option which does not bring all available
cpus online at boot time, idle tasks for offline cpus are not created. If
later offline cpus are hotplugged through sysfs, __cpu_up is called in
the context of the user task, and fork_idle copies its non-zero mm
pointer. This causes BUG() in per_cpu_trap_init.
This also avoids issues with resource limits of the CPU writing to sysfs,
containers, maybe others.

ARM: 6205/1: perf: ensure counter delta is treated as unsigned
Hardware performance counters on ARM are 32-bits wide but atomic64_t
variables are used to represent counter data in the hw_perf_event structure.
The armpmu_event_update function right-shifts a signed 64-bit delta variable
and adds the result to the event count. This can lead to shifting in sign-bits
if the MSB of the 32-bit counter value is set. This results in perf output
such as:
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 20':
18446744073460670464 cycles <-- 0xFFFFFFFFF12A6000
7783773 instructions # 0.000 IPC
465 context-switches
161 page-faults
1172393 branches
20.154242147 seconds time elapsed
This patch ensures that the delta value is treated as unsigned so that the
right shift sets the upper bits to zero.

- Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...
- Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the

- 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
For MIPSXX, the stopped state is implemented in the way of 1.b as above.

- 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.
For MIPSXX, we need to call irq_work_run() at the tail of the perf IRQ
handler as described above.

The old prepare_ftrace_return() for MIPS is confused and have introduced
some problem. This patch cleans up the names of the arguments, variables
and related functions.
For MIPS, the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not really the
'selfpc' described in ftrace-design.txt but instead it is the self
return address. This did break the compatibility of the generic
interface but really reduced one unneeded calculation for to get the
current function name, the parent return address and the self return
address are enough, no need to tranform the self return address to the
self address.
But set_graph_function of function graph tracer is an exception, it does
need the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() as 'selfpc', for it
will use 'selfpc' to match user's configuration of function graph
entries, but in reality, it doesn't need the 'selfpc' but the recorded
ip address of the mcount calling site in the __mcount_loc section. So,
the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not important, the real
requirement is the right recorded ip address should be calculated and
assign to trace.func, this will be fixed in the next patches.

This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR()
linker macros, makes each arch linker scripts specify its cacheline
size and use it to align percpu subsections.
This is based on Shaohua's x86 only patch.

mips_io_port_base can not be read-only (const) and writable
(__read_mostly) at the same time. One of them has to go, so I chose
to eliminate the __read_mostly. It will still get stuck in a portion
of memory that is not adjacent to things that are written, and thus
not be on a dirty cache line, for whatever that is worth.

This patch adds a generic solution to support multiple machines based on
a given SoC within a single kernel image. It is implemented already for
several other architectures but MIPS has no generic support for that yet.
[Ralf: This competes with DT but DT is a much more complex solution and this
code has been used by OpenWRT for a long time so for now DT is a bad reason
to stop the merge but longer term this should be migrated to DT.]

Four architectures (arm, mips, sparc, x86) use __vmalloc_area() for
module_init(). Much of the code is duplicated and can be generalized in a
globally accessible function, __vmalloc_node_range().
__vmalloc_node() now calls into __vmalloc_node_range() with a range of
[VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END) for functionally equivalent behavior.
Each architecture may then use __vmalloc_node_range() directly to remove
the duplication of code.

Consider the following test case:
write_c0_compare(read_c0_count());
Even if the counter doesn't increment during execution, this might not
generate an interrupt until the counter wraps around. The CPU may
perform the comparison each time CP0 COUNT increments, not when CP0
COMPARE is written.
If mips_next_event() is called with a very small delta, and CP0 COUNT
increments during the calculation of "cnt += delta", it is possible
that CP0 COMPARE will be written with the current value of CP0 COUNT.
If this is detected, the function should return -ETIME, to indicate
that the interrupt might not have actually gotten scheduled.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

The TASK_SIZE macro should reflect the size of a user process virtual
address space. Previously for 64-bit kernels, this was not the case.
The immediate cause of pain was in
hugetlbfs/inode.c:hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() where 32-bit processes
trying to mmap a huge page would be served a page with an address
outside of the 32-bit address range. But there are other uses of
TASK_SIZE in the kernel as well that would like an accurate value.
The new definition is nice because it now makes TASK_SIZE and
TASK_SIZE_OF() yield the same value for any given process.
For 32-bit kernels there should be no change, although I did factor
out some code in asm/processor.h that became identical for the 32-bit and
64-bit cases.
__UA_LIMIT is now set to ~((1 << SEGBITS) - 1) for 64-bit kernels.
This should eliminate the possibility of getting a
AddressErrorException in the kernel for addresses that pass the
access_ok() test.
With the patch applied, I can still run o32, n32 and n64 processes,
and have an o32 shell fork/exec both n32 and n64 processes.

BMIPS processor cores are used in 50+ different chipsets spread across
5+ product lines. In many cases the chipsets do not share the same
peripheral register layouts, the same register blocks, the same
interrupt controllers, the same memory maps, or much of anything else.
But, across radically different SoCs that share nothing more than the
same BMIPS CPU, a few things are still mostly constant:
SMP operations
Access to performance counters
DMA cache coherency quirks
Cache and memory bus configuration
So, it makes sense to treat each BMIPS processor type as a generic
"building block," rather than tying it to a specific SoC. This makes it
easier to support a large number of BMIPS-based chipsets without
unnecessary duplication of code, and provides the infrastructure needed
to support BMIPS-proprietary features.

This patch adds the mipsxx Perf-events support based on the skeleton.
Generic hardware events and cache events are now fully implemented for
the 24K/34K/74K/1004K cores. To support other cores in mipsxx (such as
R10000/SB1), the generic hardware event tables and cache event tables
need to be filled out. To support other CPUs which have different PMU
than mipsxx, such as RM9000 and LOONGSON2, the additional files
perf_event_$cpu.c need to be created.
Raw event is an important part of Perf-events. It helps the user collect
performance data for events that are not listed as the generic hardware
events and cache events but ARE supported by the CPU's PMU.
This patch also adds this feature for mipsxx 24K/34K/74K/1004K. For how to
use it, please refer to processor core software user's manual and the
comments for mipsxx_pmu_map_raw_event() for more details.
Please note that this is a "precise" implementation, which means the
kernel will check whether the requested raw events are supported by this
CPU and which hardware counters can be assigned for them.
To test the functionality of Perf-event, you may want to compile the tool
"perf" for your MIPS platform. You can refer to the following URL:
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2010-10/msg00126.html
You also need to customize the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in tools/perf/Makefile
for your libs, includes, etc.
In case you encounter the boot failure in SMVP kernel on multi-threading
CPUs, you may take a look at:

create mode 100644 arch/mips/kernel/perf_event_mipsxx.c
This patch provides the skeleton of the HW perf event support. To enable
this feature, we can not choose the SMTC kernel; Oprofile should be
disabled; kernel performance events be selected. Then we can enable it in
Kernel type menu.
Oprofile for MIPS platforms initializes irq at arch init time. Currently
we do not change this logic to allow PMU reservation.
If a platform has EIC, we can use the irq base and perf counter irq offset
defines for the interrupt controller in specific init_hw_perf_events().
Based on this skeleton patch, the 3 different kinds of MIPS PMU, namely,
mipsxx/loongson2/rm9000, can be supported by adding corresponding lower
level C files at the bottom. The suggested names of these files are
perf_event_mipsxx.c/perf_event_loongson2.c/perf_event_rm9000.c. So, for
example, we can do this by adding "#include perf_event_mipsxx.c" at the
bottom of perf_event.c.
In addition, PMUs with 64bit counters are also considered in this patch.
