Darren Hart beda2c7ea2 futex: Update futex_q lock_ptr on requeue proxy lock
futex_requeue() can acquire the lock on behalf of a waiter
early on or during the requeue loop if it is uncontended or in
the event of a lock steal or owner died. On wakeup, the waiter
(in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) cleans up the pi_state owner using
the lock_ptr to protect against concurrent access to the
pi_state. The pi_state is hung off futex_q's on the requeue
target futex hash bucket so the lock_ptr needs to be updated
accordingly.

The problem manifested by triggering the WARN_ON in
lookup_pi_state() about the pid != pi_state->owner->pid.  With
this patch, the pi_state is properly guarded against concurrent
access via the requeue target hb lock.

The astute reviewer may notice that there is a window of time
between when futex_requeue() unlocks the hb locks and when
futex_wait_requeue_pi() will acquire hb2->lock.  During this
time the pi_state and uval are not in sync with the underlying
rtmutex owner (but the uval does indicate there are waiters, so
no atomic changes will occur in userspace).  However, this is
not a problem. Should a contending thread enter
lookup_pi_state() and acquire hb2->lock before the ownership is
fixed up, it will find the pi_state hung off a waiter's
(possibly the pending owner's) futex_q and block on the
rtmutex.  Once futex_wait_requeue_pi() fixes up the owner, it
will also move the pi_state from the old owner's
task->pi_state_list to its own.

v3: Fix plist lock name for application to mainline (rather
    than -rt) Compile tested against tip/v2.6.31-rc5.

On an iMac G5, the b43 driver is failing to initialise because trying to

in the machine anyway:

Yi Zou 6e455b897b ixgbe: Disable packet split only on FCoE queues in 82599
For 82599, packet split has to be disabled for FCoE direct data placement.
However, this is only required on received queues allocated for FCoE. This
patch adds a per ring flags to indicate if packet split is disabled on a

Herbert Xu 876bfd4d0f tun: Extend RTNL lock coverage over whole ioctl
As it is, parts of the ioctl runs under the RTNL and parts of
it do not.  The unlocked section is still protected by the BKL,
but there can be subtle races.  For example, Eric Biederman and
Paul Moore observed that if two threads tried to create two tun
devices on the same file descriptor, then unexpected results
may occur.

As there isn't anything in the ioctl that is expected to sleep
indefinitely, we can prevent this from occurring by extending
the RTNL lock coverage.

This also allows to get rid of the BKL.

Finally, I changed tun_get_iff to take a tun device in order to
avoid calling tun_put which would dead-lock as it also tries to
take the RTNL lock.

Greg Ungerer 9555b31e8c fec: fix FEC driver packet transmission breakage
Commit f0b3fbeae1 ("FEC Buffer rework")
breaks transmission of packets where the skb data buffer is not memory
aligned according to FEC_ALIGNMENT. It incorrectly passes to
dma_sync_single() the buffer address directly from the skb, instead of
the address calculated for use (which may be the skb address or one of
the bounce buffers).

It seems there is no use converting the cpu address of the buffer to
a physical either, since dma_map_single() expects the cpu address and
will return the dma address to use in the descriptor. So remove the use
of __pa() on the buffer address as well.

This patch is against 2.6.30-rc5. This breakage is a regression over
2.6.30, which does not have this problem.

NeilBrown c8c00a6915 Remove deadlock potential in md_open
A recent commit:
  commit 449aad3e25

introduced the possibility of an A-B/B-A deadlock between
bd_mutex and reconfig_mutex.

__blkdev_get holds bd_mutex while calling md_open which takes
   reconfig_mutex,
do_md_run is always called with reconfig_mutex held, and it now
   takes bd_mutex in the call the revalidate_disk.

This potential deadlock was not caught by lockdep due to the
use of mutex_lock_interruptible_nexted which was introduced
by
   commit d63a5a74de
do avoid a warning of an impossible deadlock.

It is quite possible to split reconfig_mutex in to two locks.
One protects the array data structures while it is being
reconfigured, the other ensures that an array is never even partially
open while it is being deactivated.
In particular, the second lock prevents an open from completing
between the time when do_md_stop checks if there are any active opens,
and the time when the array is either set read-only, or when ->pers is
set to NULL.  So we can be certain that no IO is in flight as the
array is being destroyed.

So create a new lock, open_mutex, just to ensure exclusion between
'open' and 'stop'.

This avoids the deadlock and also avoids the lockdep warning mentioned
in commit d63a5a74d

Frederic Weisbecker c0a8865e32 perf tools: callchain: Fix bad rounding of minimum rate
Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the
limit given by the user.

Say you launched:

 perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10
 perf report -g fractal,10.0

And you got:

2.33%       hackbench  [kernel]                  [k] _spin_lock_irqsave
                |
                |--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue
                |          poll_freewait
                |          do_sys_poll
                |          sys_poll
                |          sysenter_dispatch
                |          0xf7ffa430
                |          0x1ffadea3c
                |
                |--7.14%-- __up_read
                |          up_read
                |          do_page_fault
                |          page_fault
                |          0xf7ffa430
                |          0xa0df710000000a
                ...

It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10%
filter.

The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This
happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the
total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3
events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows:

  limit = 4 * 0.9;

The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round
down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75%

We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

Frederic Weisbecker 25446036cb perf tools: callchain: Fix sum of percentages to be 100% by displaying amount of ignored chains in fractal mode
When we filter the callchains below a given percentage, we
ignore them and the end result only shows entries that have an
upper percentage than the filter threshold.

It seems to users then that we have an imbalance in the
percentage, as if the sum inside a profiled branch doesn't
reach 100%.

Since in the past there have been real perf report bugs that
showed the same sypmtom, it would be nice to assure the user
that the data is perfect and trustable and it all sums up to
100.00%.

So fix this by displaying the remaining hits that have been
filtered but without more detail than their amount in each
branches. Example while filtering below 50%:

If we recorded with -g option to record the callchain, right now
we require a -g option to perf report as well - and people reported
this as unnecessary complication: the user already specified -g
once, no need to require it a second time.

So if the recording includes call-chains, display the callchain by
default from perf report.

( The user can override this default using "-g none" option from
  perf report. )

Frederic Weisbecker b0efe213f8 perf tools: callchain: Fix spurious 'perf report' warnings: ignore empty callchains
When the callchain tree comes to insert an empty backtrace, it
raises a spurious warning about the fact we are inserting an
empty. This is spurious because the radix tree assumes it did
something wrong to reach this state. But it didn't, we just met
an empty callchain that has to be ignored.

This happens occasionally with certain types of call-chain
recordings. If it happens it's a big nuisance as perf report
output starts with thousands of warning lines.

1. Ignore the -A argument if there is no perf.data file
2. Treat an empty file like a non existent file.

Else, perf will try to read the perf.data header, and fail with

Treating an empty file like a non-existent file makes sense,
since an interupted (as in SIGKILLed) perf could leave such
files around, and you don't want to annoy the user with errors
for files with no data in it.

If we have the powerpc perf_counter backend compiled in, but
the cpu we are running on is one where we don't support the
PMU, we currently oops in hw_perf_group_sched_in if we try to
use any counters, because ppmu is NULL in that case, and we
unconditionally dereference ppmu.

This fixes the problem by adding a check if ppmu is NULL at the
beginning of hw_perf_group_sched_in, and also at the beginning
of the other functions that get called from the perf_counter
core, i.e. hw_perf_disable, hw_perf_enable, and
hw_perf_counter_setup.
