net: Convert TCP & DCCP hash tables to use RCU / hlist_nulls
RCU was added to UDP lookups, using a fast infrastructure :
- sockets kmem_cache use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and dont pay the
price of call_rcu() at freeing time.
- hlist_nulls permits to use few memory barriers.
This patch uses same infrastructure for TCP/DCCP established
and timewait sockets.
Thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, no slowdown for applications
using short lived TCP connections. A followup patch, converting
rwlocks to spinlocks will even speedup this case.
__inet_lookup_established() is pretty fast now we dont have to
dirty a contended cache line (read_lock/read_unlock)
Only established and timewait hashtable are converted to RCU

This allows to store many different end markers, so that some RCU lockless

automatically enabled.
No branch test is used at the marker site, because it would be a

get_marker() can return a NULL entry because the mutex is released in
the middle of those functions. Make sure we check to see if it has been

Impact: make output of available_filter_functions complete
phenomenon:
The first value of dyn_ftrace_total_info is not equal with

root cause:
When printing functions with seq_printf in t_show, if the read buffer
is just overflowed by current function record, then this function
won't be printed to user space through read buffer, it will
just be dropped. So we can't see this function printing.
So, every time the last function to fill the read buffer, if overflowed,
will be dropped.
This also applies to set_ftrace_filter if set_ftrace_filter has
more bytes than read buffer.
fix:
Through checking return value of seq_printf, if less than 0, we know
this function doesn't be printed. Then we decrease position to force
this function to be printed next time, in next read buffer.
Another little fix is to show correct allocating pages count.

ftrace: pass module struct to arch dynamic ftrace functions
Impact: allow archs more flexibility on dynamic ftrace implementations
Dynamic ftrace has largly been developed on x86. Since x86 does not
have the same limitations as other architectures, the ftrace interaction
between the generic code and the architecture specific code was not
flexible enough to handle some of the issues that other architectures
have.
Most notably, module trampolines. Due to the limited branch distance
that archs make in calling kernel core code from modules, the module
load code must create a trampoline to jump to what will make the
larger jump into core kernel code.
The problem arises when this happens to a call to mcount. Ftrace checks
all code before modifying it and makes sure the current code is what
it expects. Right now, there is not enough information to handle modifying
module trampolines.
This patch changes the API between generic dynamic ftrace code and
the arch dependent code. There is now two functions for modifying code:
ftrace_make_nop(mod, rec, addr) - convert the code at rec->ip into
a nop, where the original text is calling addr. (mod is the
module struct if called by module init)
ftrace_make_caller(rec, addr) - convert the code rec->ip that should
be a nop into a caller to addr.
The record "rec" now has a new field called "arch" where the architecture
can add any special attributes to each call site record.

Fix inotify watch removal/umount races
Inotify watch removals suck violently.
To kick the watch out we need (in this order) inode->inotify_mutex and
ih->mutex. That's fine if we have a hold on inode; however, for all
other cases we need to make damn sure we don't race with umount. We can
*NOT* just grab a reference to a watch - inotify_unmount_inodes() will
happily sail past it and we'll end with reference to inode potentially
outliving its superblock.
Ideally we just want to grab an active reference to superblock if we
can; that will make sure we won't go into inotify_umount_inodes() until
we are done. Cleanup is just deactivate_super().
However, that leaves a messy case - what if we *are* racing with
umount() and active references to superblock can't be acquired anymore?
We can bump ->s_count, grab ->s_umount, which will almost certainly wait
until the superblock is shut down and the watch in question is pining
for fjords. That's fine, but there is a problem - we might have hit the
window between ->s_active getting to 0 / ->s_count - below S_BIAS (i.e.
the moment when superblock is past the point of no return and is heading
for shutdown) and the moment when deactivate_super() acquires
->s_umount.
We could just do drop_super() yield() and retry, but that's rather
antisocial and this stuff is luser-triggerable. OTOH, having grabbed
->s_umount and having found that we'd got there first (i.e. that
->s_root is non-NULL) we know that we won't race with
inotify_umount_inodes().
So we could grab a reference to watch and do the rest as above, just
with drop_super() instead of deactivate_super(), right? Wrong. We had
to drop ih->mutex before we could grab ->s_umount. So the watch
could've been gone already.
That still can be dealt with - we need to save watch->wd, do idr_find()
and compare its result with our pointer. If they match, we either have
the damn thing still alive or we'd lost not one but two races at once,
the watch had been killed and a new one got created with the same ->wd
at the same address. That couldn't have happened in inotify_destroy(),
but inotify_rm_wd() could run into that. Still, "new one got created"
is not a problem - we have every right to kill it or leave it alone,
whatever's more convenient.
So we can use idr_find(...) == watch && watch->inode->i_sb == sb as
"grab it and kill it" check. If it's been our original watch, we are
fine, if it's a newcomer - nevermind, just pretend that we'd won the
race and kill the fscker anyway; we are safe since we know that its
superblock won't be going away.
And yes, this is far beyond mere "not very pretty"; so's the entire
concept of inotify to start with.

A common reason for device drivers to implement their own printk macros
is the lack of a printk prefix with the standard pr_xyz macros.
Introduce a pr_fmt() macro that is applied for every pr_xyz macro to the
format string.
The most common use of the pr_fmt macro would be to add the name of the
device driver to all pr_xyz messages in a source file.

Revert "x86: blacklist DMAR on Intel G31/G33 chipsets"
This reverts commit e51af6630848406fc97adbd71443818cdcda297b, which was
wrongly hoovered up and submitted about a month after a better fix had
already been merged.
The better fix is commit cbda1ba898647aeb4ee770b803c922f595e97731
("PCI/iommu: blacklist DMAR on Intel G31/G33 chipsets"), where we do
this blacklisting based on the DMI identification for the offending
motherboard, since sometimes this chipset (or at least a chipset with
the same PCI ID) apparently _does_ actually have an IOMMU.
