 "node" is define a data struct (pls see line 67 and line 73 in the

Rusty Russell b60da13fc7 lguest: suppress notifications in example Launcher
The Guest only really needs to tell us about activity when we're going
to listen to the eventfd: normally, we don't want to know.

So if there are no available buffers, turn on notifications, re-check,
then wait for the Guest to notify us via the eventfd, then turn
notifications off again.

There's enough else going on that the differences are in the noise.

Rusty Russell 4a8962e21b lguest: try to batch interrupts on network receive
Rather than triggering an interrupt every time, we only trigger an
interrupt when there are no more incoming packets (or the recv queue
is full).

However, the overhead of doing the select to figure this out is
measurable: 1M pings goes from 98 to 104 seconds, and 1G Guest->Host
TCP goes from 3.69 to 3.94 seconds.  It's close to the noise though.

I tested various timeouts, including reducing it as the number of
pending packets increased, timing a 1 gigabyte TCP send from Guest ->
Host and Host -> Guest (GSO disabled, to increase packet rate).

// time tcpblast -o -s 65536 -c 16k 192.168.2.1:9999 > /dev/null

Rusty Russell 95c517c09b lguest: avoid sending interrupts to Guest when no activity occurs.
If we track how many buffers we've used, we can tell whether we really
need to interrupt the Guest.  This happens as a side effect of
spurious notifications.

Spurious notifications happen because it can take a while before the
Host thread wakes up and sets the VRING_USED_F_NO_NOTIFY flag, and
meanwhile the Guest can more notifications.

A real fix would be to use wake counts, rather than a suppression
flag, but the practical difference is generally in the noise: the
interrupt is usually coalesced into a pending one anyway so we just
save a system call which isn't clearly measurable.

Rusty Russell 38bc2b8c56 lguest: implement deferred interrupts in example Launcher
Rather than sending an interrupt on every buffer, we only send an interrupt
when we're about to wait for the Guest to send us a new one.  The console
input and network input still send interrupts manually, but the block device,
network and console output queues can simply rely on this logic to send
interrupts to the Guest at the right time.

The patch is cluttered by moving trigger_irq() higher in the code.

In practice, two factors make this optimization less interesting:
(1) we often only get one input at a time, even for networking,
(2) triggering an interrupt rapidly tends to get coalesced anyway.

Before:				Secs	RxIRQS	TxIRQs
 1G TCP Guest->Host:		3.72	32784	32771

Rusty Russell 659a0e6633 lguest: have example Launcher service all devices in separate threads
Currently lguest has three threads: the main Launcher thread, a Waker
thread, and a thread for the block device (because synchronous block
was simply too painful to bear).

The Waker selects() on all the input file descriptors (eg. stdin, net
devices, pipe to the block thread) and when one becomes readable it calls
into the kernel to kick the Launcher thread out into userspace, which
repeats the poll, services the device(s), and then tells the kernel to
release the Waker before re-entering the kernel to run the Guest.

Also, to make a slightly-decent network transmit routine, the Launcher
would suppress further network interrupts while it set a timer: that
signal handler would write to a pipe, which would rouse the Waker
which would prod the Launcher out of the kernel to check the network
device again.

Now we can convert all our virtqueues to separate threads: each one has
a separate eventfd for when the Guest pokes the device, and can trigger
interrupts in the Guest directly.

The linecount shows how much this simplifies, but to really bring it
home, here's an strace analysis of single Guest->Host ping before:

* Guest sends packet, notifies xmit vq, return control to Launcher
* Launcher clears notification flag on xmit ring
* Launcher writes packet to TUN device
	writev(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\366\r\224`\2058\272m\224vf\274\10\0E\0\0T\0\0@\0@\1\265"..., 98}], 2) = 108
* Launcher sets up interrupt for Guest (xmit ring is empty)
	write(10, "\2\0\0\0\3\0\0\0", 8) = 0
* Launcher sets up timer for interrupt mitigation
	setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 505}}, NULL) = 0
* Launcher re-runs guest
	pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) ...
* Waker notices reply packet in tun device (it was in select)
	select(12, [0 3 4 6 11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4])
* Waker kicks Launcher out of guest:
	pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\1\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher returns from running guest:
	... = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
* Launcher looks at input fds:
	select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 0})
* Launcher reads pong from tun device:
	readv(4, [{"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 10}, {"\272m\224vf\274\366\r\224`\2058\10\0E\0\0T\364\26\0\0@"..., 1518}], 2) = 108
* Launcher injects guest notification:
	write(10, "\2\0\0\0\2\0\0\0", 8) = 0
* Launcher rechecks fds:
	select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
* Launcher clears Waker:
	pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher reruns Guest:
	pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
* Signal comes in, uses pipe to wake up Launcher:
	--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
	write(8, "\0", 1)       = 1
	sigreturn()             = ? (mask now [])
* Waker sees write on pipe:
	select(12, [0 3 4 6 11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [6])
* Waker kicks Launcher out of Guest:
	pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\1\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher exits from kernel:
	pread64(10, 0xbfa5f4d4, 4, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
* Launcher looks to see what fd woke it:
	select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [6], left {0, 0})
* Launcher reads timeout fd, sets notification flag on xmit ring
	read(6, "\0", 32)       = 1
* Launcher rechecks fds:
	select(7, [0 3 4 6], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
* Launcher clears Waker:
	pwrite64(10, "\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8, 0) = 0
* Launcher resumes Guest:
	pread64(10, "\0p\0\4", 4, 0) ....

strace analysis of single Guest->Host ping after:

* Guest sends packet, notifies xmit vq, creates event on eventfd.

Rusty Russell e606490c44 lguest: clean up length-used value in example launcher
The "len" field in the used ring for virtio indicates the number of
bytes *written* to the buffer.  This means the guest doesn't have to
zero the buffers in advance as it always knows the used length.

Erroneously, the console and network example code puts the length
*read* into that field.  The guest ignores it, but it's wrong.

Rusty Russell ebf9a5a99c lguest: remove invalid interrupt forcing logic.
2088761152 (lguest: notify on empty) introduced
lguest support for the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY flag, but in fact it turned on
interrupts all the time.

Because we always process one buffer at a time, the inflight count is always 0
when call trigger_irq and so we always ignore VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT from
the Guest.

It should be looking to see if there are more buffers in the Guest's queue:
if it's empty, then we force an interrupt.

This makes little difference, since we usually have an empty queue; but
that's the subject of another patch.

Rusty Russell 713b15b378 lguest: be paranoid about guest playing with device descriptors.
We can't trust the values in the device descriptor table once the
guest has booted, so keep local copies.  They could set them to
strange values then cause us to segv (they're 8 bit values, so they
can't make our pointers go too wild).

This becomes more important with the following patches which read them.

John Dykstra 746e6ad23c [PATCH] net core: Some interface flags not returned by SIOCGIFFLAGS
Commit b00055aacd " [NET] core: add
RFC2863 operstate" defined new interface flag values.  Its
documentation specified that these flags could be accessed from user
space via SIOCGIFFLAGS.  However, this does not work because the new
flags do not fit in that ioctl's argument width.

Change the documentation to match the code's behavior.  Also change
the source to explicitly show the truncation.  This _should_ have no
effect on executable code, and did not with gcc 4.2.4 generating x86
code.

A new ioctl could be defined to return all interface flags to user
space.  However, since this has been broken for three years with no
one complaining, there doesn't seem much need.  They are still
accessible via netlink.

Hidetoshi Seto 62fdac5913 x86, mce: Add boot options for corrected errors
This patch introduces three boot options (no_cmci, dont_log_ce
and ignore_ce) to control handling for corrected errors.

The "mce=no_cmci" boot option disables the CMCI feature.

Since CMCI is a new feature so having boot controls to disable
it will be a help if the hardware is misbehaving.

The "mce=dont_log_ce" boot option disables logging for corrected
errors. All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently.
This option will be useful if you never care about corrected
errors.

The "mce=ignore_ce" boot option disables features for corrected
errors, i.e. polling timer and cmci.  All corrected events are
not cleared and kept in bank MSRs.

Usually this disablement is not recommended, however it will be
a help if there are some conflict with the BIOS or hardware
monitoring applications etc., that clears corrected events in
banks instead of OS.

[ And trivial cleanup (space -> tab) for doc is included. ]

  * Environment variables for 'silentoldconfig'

Furthermore this puts MENUCONFIG_MODE next to MENUCONFIG_COLOR into a

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 075affcbe0 ide: preserve Host Protected Area by default (v2)
From the perspective of most users of recent systems, disabling Host
Protected Area (HPA) can break vendor RAID formats, GPT partitions and
risks corrupting firmware or overwriting vendor system recovery tools.

Unfortunately the original (kernels < 2.6.30) behavior (unconditionally
disabling HPA and using full disk capacity) was introduced at the time
when the main use of HPA was to make the drive look small enough for the
BIOS to allow the system to boot with large capacity drives.

Thus to allow the maximum compatibility with the existing setups (using
HPA and partitioned with HPA disabled) we automically disable HPA if
any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.  Additionally HPA can also
be disabled using the "nohpa" module parameter (i.e. "ide_core.nohpa=0.0"
to disable HPA on /dev/hda).

v2:
Fix ->resume HPA support.

While at it:
- remove stale "idebus=" entry from Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

Andi Kleen 3c0797925f x86, mce: switch x86 machine check handler to Monarch election.
On Intel platforms machine check exceptions are always broadcast to
all CPUs.  This patch makes the machine check handler synchronize all
these machine checks, elect a Monarch to handle the event and collect
the worst event from all CPUs and then process it first.

This has some advantages:

- When there is a truly data corrupting error the system panics as
  quickly as possible. This improves containment of corrupted
  data and makes sure the corrupted data never hits stable storage.

- The panics are synchronized and do not reenter the panic code
  on multiple CPUs (which currently does not handle this well).

- All the errors are reported. Currently it often happens that
  another CPU happens to do the panic first, but reports useless
  information (empty machine check) because the real error
  happened on another CPU which came in later.
  This is a big advantage on Nehalem where the 8 threads per CPU
  lead to often the wrong CPU winning the race and dumping
  useless information on a machine check.  The problem also occurs
  in a less severe form on older CPUs.

- The system can detect when no CPUs detected a machine check
  and shut down the system.  This can happen when one CPU is so
  badly hung that that it cannot process a machine check anymore
  or when some external agent wants to stop the system by
  asserting the machine check pin.  This follows Intel hardware
  recommendations.

- This matches the recommended error model by the CPU designers.

- The events can be output in true severity order

- When a panic happens on another CPU it makes sure to be actually
  be able to process the stop IPI by enabling interrupts.

The code is extremly careful to handle timeouts while waiting
for other CPUs. It can't rely on the normal timing mechanisms
(jiffies, ktime_get) because of its asynchronous/lockless nature,
so it uses own timeouts using ndelay() and a "SPINUNIT"

The timeout is configurable. By default it waits for upto one
second for the other CPUs.  This can be also disabled.

From some informal testing AMD systems do not see to broadcast
machine checks, so right now it's always disabled by default on
non Intel CPUs or also on very old Intel systems.

Johannes Berg c64fb01627 rfkill: create useful userspace interface
The new code added by this patch will make rfkill create
a misc character device /dev/rfkill that userspace can use
to control rfkill soft blocks and get status of devices as
well as events when the status changes.

Using it is very simple -- when you open it you can read
a number of times to get the initial state, and every
further read blocks (you can poll) on getting the next
event from the kernel. The same structure you read is
also used when writing to it to change the soft block of
a given device, all devices of a given type, or all
devices.

This also makes CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT selectable again in
order to be able to test without it present since its
functionality can now be replaced by userspace entirely
and distros and users may not want the input part of
rfkill interfering with their userspace code. We will
also write a userspace daemon to handle all that and
consequently add the input code to the feature removal
schedule.

In order to have rfkilld support both kernels with and
without CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT (or new kernels after its
eventual removal) we also add an ioctl (that only exists
if rfkill-input is present) to disable rfkill-input.
It is not very efficient, but at least gives the correct
behaviour in all cases.

Johannes Berg 19d337dff9 rfkill: rewrite
This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:

 * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
   rather than having one central implementation

 * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
   contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
   lots of code

 * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
   internally -- the core should do this

 * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
   asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister

 * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
   driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
   should be avoided

 * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module

 * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
   depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
   that do nothing if it isn't compiled in

 * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
   it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
   force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()

 * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
   reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS

 * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
   operations in locked sections

 * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
   changes -- this wasn't done before

Hector Martin 3b315d70b0 ALSA: hda - Acer Aspire 8930G support
Short story: this laptop has 5.1 built-in speakers which you *really*
want to use (the not-so-"sub" woofer is what makes the audio above
average for a laptop), so 6-channel support is important (plus a decent
asound.conf to upmix stereo). It also has the 3 typical jacks that ought
to have a selectable mode. And it's based on ALC889, which sucks.

Rationale/explanations:

The const_channel_count stuff was added because, for a laptop like this,
you always have 6 channels available (internal speakers) but still need
to set the mode for the 3 external jacks. Therefore, the device always
needs to be in 6-channel mode but there still needs to be a mixer
control for the jack mode. You could use line/mic-in at the same time as
the 6 internal speakers, for example. You might be tempted to make it
even smarter by dynamically switching the max channel count when
headphones are plugged in (therefore muting the internal speakers and
reducing the physical channel count to the jack channel mode), but as a
user I consider this to be harmful because I want the audio to blow up
to 6 channels / upmixed as soon as I unplug the headphones, and having
opened the device while in 2-channel mode would prevent this from
working (and always making 6-channel mode available doesn't do any harm).

The hardware needs EAPD turned on and the DACs routed to the internal
speaker pins, so the patch adds those verbs.

The ALC889 CLFE and subsequent (side/aux, here unused) DACs do NOT work
by default, at least here. I wasted much time trying to talk to
Realtek/pshou about this, but they just kept sending me useless updates
to patch_realtek.c that did nothing relevant. In the end I gave up and
brute forced the issue by trying to flip every bit in the proprietary
coefficient registers, and eventually found the two magic registers that
need to be cleared to enable all DACs. I have only heard Acer users
complain, but that might be because ALC889 is pretty new and using 5.1
(and noticing the missing center/lfe channels) might not be that common.
If this is a generalized issue with all ALC889 systems then those verbs
should probably be moved to a common verb array.

The internal mic is untested and probably doesn't work.

These settings will probably work for other Acer Gemstone laptops with
the same 5.1 speaker config. When identified, those should be added to
the PCI subsystem ID list.

Steven Rostedt 2af15d6a44 ftrace: add kernel command line function filtering
When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions
on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called.

This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands.

  ftrace_notrace=function-list
  ftrace_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.
The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included
in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions
listed.

These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and
debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively.

The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also
be used by the command line interface.

	ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin*

Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has
the word spin in it.

Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering
set by the command lines.

      99 - maps to internal kernel threads that want to be lower than RT tasks
      but higher than SCHED_OTHER tasks. Although I'm not sure if any
      kernel thread actually uses this. I'm not even sure how this can be
      set, because the internal sched_setscheduler function does not allow
      for it.

      100 to 139 - maps nice levels -20 to 19. These are not set via
