      USB: EHCI: fix build error in ehci-mxc · dba63b2f
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1643b) fixes a build error in ehci-hcd when compiling for
      ARM with allmodconfig:
      
      drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1285:0: warning: "PLATFORM_DRIVER" redefined [enabled by default]
      drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1255:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
      drivers/usb/host/ehci-mxc.c:280:31: warning: 'ehci_mxc_driver' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
      drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1285:0: warning: "PLATFORM_DRIVER" redefined [enabled by default]
      drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.c:1255:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
      
      The fix is to convert ehci-mxc over to the new "ehci-hcd is a library"
      scheme so that it can coexist peacefully with the ehci-platform
      driver.  As part of the conversion the ehci_mxc_priv data structure,
      which was allocated dynamically, is now placed where it belongs: in
      the private area at the end of struct ehci_hcd.

      ALSA: hda - Fix inconsistent pin states after resume · 31614bb8
      Takashi Iwai authored
      The commit [26a6cb6c: ALSA: hda - Implement a poll loop for jacks as a
      module parameter] introduced the polling jack detection code, but it
      also moved the call of snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() in the resume path
      after resume/init ops call.  This caused a regression when the jack
      state has been changed during power-down (e.g. in the power save
      mode).  Since the driver doesn't probe the new jack state but keeps
      using the cached value due to no dirty flag, the pin state remains
      also as if the jack is still plugged.
      
      The fix is simply moving snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() to the original
      position.

      ring-buffer: Remove trace.h from ring_buffer.c · 0b07436d
      Steven Rostedt authored
      ring_buffer.c use to require declarations from trace.h, but
      these have moved to the generic header files. There's nothing
      in trace.h that ring_buffer.c requires.
      
      There's some headers that trace.h included that ring_buffer.c
      needs, but it's best that it includes them directly, and not
      include trace.h.
      
      Also, some things may use ring_buffer.c without having tracing
      configured. This removes the dependency that may come in the
      future.

      ring-buffer: User context bit recursion checking · 567cd4da

      Using context bit recursion checking, we can help increase the

      ftrace: Use only the preempt version of function tracing · 897f68a4
      Steven Rostedt authored
      The function tracer had two different versions of function tracing.
      
      The disabling of irqs version and the preempt disable version.
      
      As function tracing in very intrusive and can cause nasty recursion
      issues, it has its own recursion protection. But the old method to
      do this was a flat layer. If it detected that a recursion was happening
      then it would just return without recording.
      
      This made the preempt version (much faster than the irq disabling one)
      not very useful, because if an interrupt were to occur after the
      recursion flag was set, the interrupt would not be traced at all,
      because every function that was traced would think it recursed on
      itself (due to the context it preempted setting the recursive flag).
      
      Now that we have a recursion flag for every context level, we
      no longer need to worry about that. We can disable preemption,
      set the current context recursion check bit, and go on. If an
      interrupt were to come along, it would check its own context bit
      and happily continue to trace.
      
      As the preempt version is faster than the irq disable version,
      there's no more reason to keep the preempt version around.
      And the irq disable version still had an issue with missing
      out on tracing NMI code.
      
      Remove the irq disable function tracer version and have the
      preempt disable version be the default (and only version).
      
      Before this patch we had from running:
      
       # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
       # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done
      Time: 12.028

      Time: 11.944
      Time: 11.929
      Time: 11.941
      Time: 11.924
      
      (average: 11.9512)
      
      Now we have:
      
       # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
       # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done

      tracing: Avoid unnecessary multiple recursion checks · edc15caf
      Steven Rostedt authored
      When function tracing occurs, the following steps are made:
        If arch does not support a ftrace feature:
         call internal function (uses INTERNAL bits) which calls...
        If callback is registered to the "global" list, the list
         function is called and recursion checks the GLOBAL bits.
         then this function calls...
        The function callback, which can use the FTRACE bits to
         check for recursion.
      
      Now if the arch does not suppport a feature, and it calls
      the global list function which calls the ftrace callback
      all three of these steps will do a recursion protection.
      There's no reason to do one if the previous caller already
      did. The recursion that we are protecting against will
      go through the same steps again.
      
      To prevent the multiple recursion checks, if a recursion
      bit is set that is higher than the MAX bit of the current
      check, then we know that the check was made by the previous
      caller, and we can skip the current check.
