      perf_counter, powerpc, sparc: Fix compilation after perf_counter_overflow() change · cd74c86b
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Commit 5622f295 ("x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow
      handling") removed the regs field from struct perf_sample_data and
      added a regs parameter to perf_counter_overflow().  This breaks the
      build on powerpc (and Sparc) as reported by Sachin Sant:
      
        arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c: In function 'record_and_restart':
        arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c:1165: error: unknown field 'regs' specified in initializer
      
      This adjusts arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_counter.c to correspond with the
      new struct perf_sample_data and perf_counter_overflow().
      
      [ v2: also fix Sparc, Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> ]

      sched_clock: Make it NMI safe · def0a9b2
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Arjan complained about the suckyness of TSC on modern machines, and
      asked if we could do something about that for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME.
      
      Make cpu_clock() NMI safe by removing the spinlock and using
      cmpxchg. This also makes it smaller and more robust.
      
      Affects architectures that use HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, i.e. IA64
      and x86.

      x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow handling · 5622f295
      Markus Metzger authored
      Draining the BTS buffer on a buffer overflow interrupt takes too
      long resulting in a kernel lockup when tracing the kernel.
      
      Restructure perf_counter sampling into sample creation and sample
      output.
      
      Prepare a single reference sample for BTS sampling and update the
      from and to address fields when draining the BTS buffer. Drain the
      entire BTS buffer between a single perf_output_begin() /
      perf_output_end() pair.

      pty_write: don't do a tty_wakeup() when the buffers are full · 202c4675
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit ac89a917 ("pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside
      'pty_write()'") removed the pty_space() checking, in order to let the
      regular tty buffer code limit the buffering itself.
      
      That was all good, but as a subtle side effect it meant that we'd be
      doing a tty_wakeup() even in the case where the buffers were all filled
      up, and didn't actually make any progress on the write.
      
      Which sounds innocuous, but it interacts very badly with the ppp_async
      code, which has an infinite loop in ppp_async_push() that tries to push
      out data to the tty.  When we call tty_wakeup(), that loop ends up
      thinking that progress was made (see the subtle interactions between
      XMIT_WAKEUP and 'tty_stuffed' for details).  End result: one unhappy ppp
      user.
      
      Fixed by noticing when tty_insert_flip_string() didn't actually do
      anything, and then not doing any more processing (including, very much
      not calling tty_wakeup()).

      perf sched: Add --input=file option to builtin-sched.c · 4b77a729
      Mike Galbraith authored
      perf sched record passes unparsed args on to perf record, so
      specifying an output file via perf sched record -o FILE (cmd) just
      works.  Ergo, provide an option to specify input file as well.
      
      Also add the missing 'map' command to help.

      x86, pat: don't use rb-tree based lookup in reserve_memtype() · dcb73bf4
      Suresh Siddha authored
      Recent enhancement of rb-tree based lookup exposed a  bug with the lookup
      mechanism in the reserve_memtype() which ensures that there are no conflicting
      memtype requests for the memory range.
      
      memtype_rb_search() returns an entry which has a start address <= new start
      address. And from here we traverse the linear linked list to check if there
      any conflicts with the existing mappings. As the rbtree is based on the
      start address of the memory range, it is quite possible that we have several
      overlapped mappings whose start address is much less than new requested start
      but the end is >= new requested end. This results in conflicting memtype
      mappings.
      
      Same bug exists with the old code which uses cached_entry from where
      we traverse the linear linked list. But the new rb-tree code exposes this
      bug fairly easily.
      
      For now, don't use the memtype_rb_search() and always start the search from
      the head of linear linked list in reserve_memtype(). Linear linked list
      for most of the systems grow's to few 10's of entries(as we track memory type
      of RAM pages using struct page). So we should be ok for now.
      
      We still retain the rbtree and use it to speed up free_memtype() which
      doesn't have the same bug(as we know what exactly we are searching for
      in free_memtype).
      
      Also use list_for_each_entry_from() in free_memtype() so that we start
      the search from rb-tree lookup result.

      libata: Add pata_atp867x driver for Artop/Acard ATP867X controllers · d15d6e6c
      John(Jung-Ik) Lee authored
      This is a new pata driver for ARTOP 867X 64bit 4-channel UDMA133 ATA ctrls.
      Based on the Atp867 data sheet rev 1.2, Acard, and in part on early ide codes
      from Eric Uhrhane <ericu@google.com>.

      pata_amd: do not filter out valid modes in nv_mode_filter · 90950a25
      Robert Hancock authored
      On a Compaq Presario V3000 laptop (NVIDIA MCP51 chipset), pata_amd selects
      PIO0 mode for the PATA DVD-RAM drive instead of MWDMA2 which it supports:
      
      ata4.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4084N, KQ09, max MWDMA2
      ata4: nv_mode_filter: 0x39f&0x7001->0x1, BIOS=0x0 (0x0) ACPI=0x7001 (60:600:0x11)
      ata4.00: configured for PIO0
      
      For some reason, the BIOS-set UDMA configuration returns 0 and the ACPI _GTM
      reports that UDMA2 and PIO0 are enabled. This causes nv_mode_filter to end up
      allowing only PIO0 and UDMA0-2. Since the drive doesn't support UDMA we end up
      using PIO0.
      
      Since the controllers should always support PIO4, MWDMA2 and UDMA2 regardless
      of what cable type is used, let's make sure we don't filter out these modes
      regardless of what wacky settings the BIOS is using.
