Adding install-python_ext target to install python extension related files. Installation directory is governed by python distutils package and follows the DESTDIR variable settings. Also moving python extension build output into '$(O)python_ext_build' directory and making it configurable via PYTHON_EXTBUILD variable. Keeping the '$(O)python/perf.so' file, so it could be used for testing as of until now.

In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at $GIT_DIR/config. If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior in some unexpected way. "config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's just stop looking for configuration in the cwd. Callers needing context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment variable.

Jason Baron authored
In the course of testing jump labels for use with the CFS bandwidth controller, Paul Turner, discovered that using jump labels reduced the branch count and the instruction count, but did not reduce the cycle count or wall time. I noticed that having the jump_label.o included in the kernel but not used in any way still caused this increase in cycle count and wall time. Thus, I moved jump_label.o in the kernel/Makefile, thus changing the link order, and presumably moving it out of hot icache areas. This brought down the cycle count/time as expected. In addition to Paul's testing, I've tested the patch using a single 'static_branch()' in the getppid() path, and basically running tight loops of calls to getppid(). Here are my results for the branch disabled case: With jump labels turned on (CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL), branch disabled: Performance counter stats for 'bash -c /tmp/getppid;true' (50 runs): 3,969,510,217 instructions # 0.864 IPC ( +-0.000% ) 4,592,334,954 cycles ( +- 0.046% ) 751,634,470 branches ( +- 0.000% ) 1.722635797 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.046% ) Jump labels turned off (CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL not set), branch disabled: Performance counter stats for 'bash -c /tmp/getppid;true' (50 runs): 4,009,611,846 instructions # 0.867 IPC ( +-0.000% ) 4,622,210,580 cycles ( +- 0.012% ) 771,662,904 branches ( +- 0.000% ) 1.734341454 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.022% ) Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Cc: rth@redhat.com Cc: a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl Cc: rostedt@goodmis.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110805204040.GG2522@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Tested-by: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com>

This isn't really critical any more, since other patches (commit 298507d4: "shm: optimize exit_shm()") have caused us to not actually need to touch the rw_mutex unless there are actual shm segments associated with the namespace, but we really should do tne shm_init_ns() earlier than we do now. This, together with commit 288d5abe ("Boot up with usermodehelper disabled") will mean that we really do initialize the initial ipc namespace data structure before we run any tasks.

While `pci_eisa_driver' still refer `pci_eisa_init', the .probe() function should not be called after init memory release, as pointed out by commit 74b9a297. The structure is still referenced in the drivers subsystem, and can be accesseed through sysfs, so the modpost warning is a false positive. Mark it as such. In the same time, the warning referenced in 005bdad7 did only mention `pci_eisa_driver', not `pci_eisa_pci_tbl', so remove its marking.

of_alias_get_id() is broken and being reverted. Remove the reference to it and replace with a single incrementing id number. There is no risk of regression here on the imx driver since the imx change to use of_alias_get_id() is commit 22698aa2, "serial/imx: add device tree probe support" which is new for v3.1, and it won't get used unless CONFIG_OF is enabled and the board is booted using a device tree. A single incrementing integer is sufficient for now. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Acked-by: Shawn Guo <shawn.guo@linaro.org>

Lockdep thinks there's lock recursion through: kmem_cache_free() cache_flusharray() spin_lock(&l3->list_lock) <----------------. free_block() | slab_destroy() | call_rcu() | debug_object_activate() | debug_object_init() | __debug_object_init() | kmem_cache_alloc() | cache_alloc_refill() | spin_lock(&l3->list_lock) --' Now debug objects doesn't use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and hence there is no actual possibility of recursing. Luckily debug objects marks it slab with SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS so we can identify the thing. Mark all SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS (all one!) slab caches with a special lockdep key so that lockdep sees its a different cachep. Also add a WARN on trying to create a SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU | SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS cache, to avoid possible future trouble.

The core device layer sends tons of uevent notifications for each device it finds, and if the kernel has been built with a non-empty CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH that will make us try to execute the usermode helper binary for all these events very early in the boot. Not only won't the root filesystem even be mounted at that point, we literally won't have necessarily even initialized all the process handling data structures at that point, which causes no end of silly problems even when the usermode helper doesn't actually succeed in executing. So just use our existing infrastructure to disable the usermodehelpers to make the kernel start out with them disabled. We enable them when we've at least initialized stuff a bit. Problems related to an uninitialized init_ipc_ns.ids[IPC_SHM_IDS].rw_mutex reported by various people.

We may optimistically check .in_use == 0 without holding the rw_mutex: it's the common case, and if it's zero, there certainly won't be any segments associated with us. After taking the lock, the idr_for_each() will do the right thing, so we could now drop the re-check inside the lock without any real cost. But it won't hurt.
