git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86/apic changes from Ingo Molnar: "Main changes: - Multiple MSI support added to the APIC, PCI and AHCI code - acked by all relevant maintainers, by Alexander Gordeev. The advantage is that multiple AHCI ports can have multiple MSI irqs assigned, and can thus spread to multiple CPUs. [ Drivers can make use of this new facility via the pci_enable_msi_block_auto() method ] - x86 IOAPIC code from interrupt remapping cleanups from Joerg Roedel: These patches move all interrupt remapping specific checks out of the x86 core code and replaces the respective call-sites with function pointers. As a result the interrupt remapping code is better abstraced from x86 core interrupt handling code. - Various smaller improvements, fixes and cleanups." * 'x86-apic-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (26 commits) x86/intel/irq_remapping: Clean up x2apic opt-out security warning mess x86, kvm: Fix intialization warnings in kvm.c x86, irq: Move irq_remapped out of x86 core code x86, io_apic: Introduce eoi_ioapic_pin call-back x86, msi: Introduce x86_msi.compose_msi_msg call-back x86, irq: Introduce setup_remapped_irq() x86, irq: Move irq_remapped() check into free_remapped_irq x86, io-apic: Remove !irq_remapped() check from __target_IO_APIC_irq() x86, io-apic: Move CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP code out of x86 core x86, irq: Add data structure to keep AMD specific irq remapping information x86, irq: Move irq_remapping_enabled declaration to iommu code x86, io_apic: Remove irq_remapping_enabled check in setup_timer_IRQ0_pin x86, io_apic: Move irq_remapping_enabled checks out of check_timer() x86, io_apic: Convert setup_ioapic_entry to function pointer x86, io_apic: Introduce set_affinity function pointer x86, msi: Use IRQ remapping specific setup_msi_irqs routine x86, hpet: Introduce x86_msi_ops.setup_hpet_msi x86, io_apic: Introduce x86_io_apic_ops.print_entries for debugging x86, io_apic: Introduce x86_io_apic_ops.disable() x86, apic: Mask IO-APIC and PIC unconditionally on LAPIC resume ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar: "There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are: Main kernel side changes: - Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by Oleg Nesterov. - Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu. - tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller improvements. - Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by Tony Luck. - Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob Shin. - This tracing commit: tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events changes the ABI. All involved parties (PowerTop in particular) seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ... Main tooling side changes: - Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim: To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information: $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ] $ perf evlist --group {ref-cycles,cycles} With this example, default perf report will show you each event separately. You can use --group option to enable event group view: $ perf report --group ... # group: {ref-cycles,cycles} # ======== # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }' # Event count (approx.): 6876107743 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ................ ....... ................. .......................... 99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main 0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp 0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del 0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 0.02% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time 0.01% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask 0.00% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe 0.00% 0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock 0.00% 0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page 0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks 0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'.

2013-01-31perf: Document the ABI of perf sysfs entriesSukadev Bhattiprolu
This patchset addes two new sets of files to sysfs for POWER architecture. - perf event config format in /sys/devices/cpu/format/event - generic and POWER-specific perf events in /sys/devices/cpu/events/ The format of the first file is already documented in: sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format Document the format of the second set of files '/sys/devices/cpu/events/*' which would also become part of the ABI. Changelog[v4]: [Jiri Olsa]: Mention that multiple event= like terms can be specified in the 'events' file. [Jiri Olsa]: Remove the documentation for the 'config format' file as it is already documented in 'Documentation/ABI/testing/'.

Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol: add xloadflags and additional fields to allow the command line, initramfs and struct boot_params to live above the 4 GiB mark. The xloadflags now communicates if this is a 64-bit kernel with the legacy 64-bit entry point and which of the EFI handover entry points are supported. Avoid adding new read flags to loadflags because of claimed bootloaders testing the whole byte for == 1 to determine bzImageness at least until the issue can be researched further.

2013-01-24PCI/MSI: Enable multiple MSIs with pci_enable_msi_block_auto()Alexander Gordeev
The new function pci_enable_msi_block_auto() tries to allocate maximum possible number of MSIs up to the number the device supports. It generalizes a pattern when pci_enable_msi_block() is contiguously called until it succeeds or fails. Opposite to pci_enable_msi_block() which takes the number of MSIs to allocate as a input parameter, pci_enable_msi_block_auto() could be used by device drivers to obtain the number of assigned MSIs and the number of MSIs the device supports.

2013-01-24DM-RAID: Fix RAID10's check for sufficient redundancyJonathan Brassow
Before attempting to activate a RAID array, it is checked for sufficient redundancy. That is, we make sure that there are not too many failed devices - or devices specified for rebuild - to undermine our ability to activate the array. The current code performs this check twice - once to ensure there were not too many devices specified for rebuild by the user ('validate_rebuild_devices') and again after possibly experiencing a failure to read the superblock ('analyse_superblocks'). Neither of these checks are sufficient. The first check is done properly but with insufficient information about the possible failure state of the devices to make a good determination if the array can be activated. The second check is simply done wrong in the case of RAID10 because it doesn't account for the independence of the stripes (i.e. mirror sets). The solution is to use the properly written check ('validate_rebuild_devices'), but perform the check after the superblocks have been read and we know which devices have failed. This gives us one check instead of two and performs it in a location where it can be done right. Only RAID10 was affected and it was affected in the following ways: - the code did not properly catch the condition where a user specified a device for rebuild that already had a failed device in the same mirror set. (This condition would, however, be caught at a deeper level in MD.) - the code triggers a false positive and denies activation when devices in independent mirror sets have failed - counting the failures as though they were all in the same set. The most likely place this error was introduced (or this patch should have been included) is in commit 4ec1e369 - first introduced in v3.7-rc1. Consequently this fix should also go in v3.7.y, however there is a small conflict on the .version in raid_target, so I'll submit a separate patch to -stable.

2013-01-08rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_paramPaul Gortmaker
The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param, it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf" and the prefix isn't documented. However, there are several reasons why we might not want to simply fix the typo and add the prefix: 1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make a change to rcutree.nocb_poll 2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix) 3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired, since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of module_param_named() could clarify that.) 4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything, as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so. In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it. Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

2013-01-06PM: Move disabling/enabling runtime PM to late suspend/early resumeRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the PM core disables runtime PM for all devices right after executing subsystem/driver .suspend() callbacks for them and re-enables it right before executing subsystem/driver .resume() callbacks for them. This may lead to problems when there are two devices such that the .suspend() callback executed for one of them depends on runtime PM working for the other. In that case, if runtime PM has already been disabled for the second device, the first one's .suspend() won't work correctly (and analogously for resume). To make those issues go away, make the PM core disable runtime PM for devices right before executing subsystem/driver .suspend_late() callbacks for them and enable runtime PM for them right after executing subsystem/driver .resume_early() callbacks for them. This way the potential conflitcs between .suspend_late()/.resume_early() and their runtime PM counterparts are still prevented from happening, but the subtle ordering issues related to disabling/enabling runtime PM for devices during system suspend/resume are much easier to avoid.

2013-01-04ipc: add sysctl to specify desired next object idStanislav Kinsbursky
Add 3 new variables and sysctls to tune them (by one "next_id" variable for messages, semaphores and shared memory respectively). This variable can be used to set desired id for next allocated IPC object. By default it's equal to -1 and old behaviour is preserved. If this variable is non-negative, then desired idr will be extracted from it and used as a start value to search for free IDR slot. Notes: 1) this patch doesn't guarantee that the new object will have desired id. So it's up to user space how to handle new object with wrong id. 2) After a sucessful id allocation attempt, "next_id" will be set back to -1 (if it was non-negative).
