9ade0cf440 SELINUX: Make selinux cache VFS RCU walks safe
Now that the security modules can decide whether they support the
dcache RCU walk or not it's possible to make selinux a bit more
RCU friendly.  The SELinux AVC and security server access decision
code is RCU safe.  A specific piece of the LSM audit code may not
be RCU safe.

This patch makes the VFS RCU walk retry if it would hit the non RCU
safe chunk of code.  It will normally just work under RCU.  This is
done simply by passing the VFS RCU state as a flag down into the
avc_audit() code and returning ECHILD there if it would have an issue.

1879fd6a26 add hlist_bl_lock/unlock helpers
Now that the whole dcache_hash_bucket crap is gone, go all the way and
also remove the weird locking layering violations for locking the hash
buckets.  Add hlist_bl_lock/unlock helpers to move the locking into the
list abstraction instead of requiring each caller to open code it.
After all allowing for the bit locks is the whole point of these helpers
over the plain hlist variant.

3dd2ee4824 bit_spinlock: don't play preemption games inside the busy loop
When we are waiting for the bit-lock to be released, and are looping
over the 'cpu_relax()' should not be doing anything else - otherwise we
miss the point of trying to do the whole 'cpu_relax()'.

Do the preemption enable/disable around the loop, rather than inside of
it.

Noticed when I was looking at the code generation for the dcache
__d_drop usage, and the code just looked very odd.

5be79de2e1 eCryptfs: Flush dirty pages in setattr
After 57db4e8d73 changed eCryptfs to
write-back caching, eCryptfs page writeback updates the lower inode
times due to the use of vfs_write() on the lower file.

To preserve inode metadata changes, such as 'cp -p' does with
utimensat(), we need to flush all dirty pages early in
ecryptfs_setattr() so that the user-updated lower inode metadata isn't
clobbered later in writeback.

3aeb86ea4c eCryptfs: Handle failed metadata read in lookup
When failing to read the lower file's crypto metadata during a lookup,
eCryptfs must continue on without throwing an error. For example, there
may be a plaintext file in the lower mount point that the user wants to
delete through the eCryptfs mount.

If an error is encountered while reading the metadata in lookup(), the
eCryptfs inode's size could be incorrect. We must be sure to reread the
plaintext inode size from the metadata when performing an open() or
setattr(). The metadata is already being read in those paths, so this
adds minimal performance overhead.

This patch introduces a flag which will track whether or not the
plaintext inode size has been read so that an incorrect i_size can be
fixed in the open() or setattr() paths.

332ab16f83 eCryptfs: Add reference counting to lower files
For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and
multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The
lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first
lookup through the lifetime of the inode.

This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds
reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not
currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such
as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is
opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the
term persistent file are changed to lower file.

Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file
and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs
the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it.

This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3
client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs
inode is destroyed.

are also called during port initialization, before ahci host irq

Fixed this by not touching the register if the port is in frozen

3ba4162115 kconfig: Avoid buffer underrun in choice input
Commit 40aee729b3 ('kconfig: fix default value for choice input')
fixed some cases where kconfig would select the wrong option from a
choice with a single valid option and thus enter an infinite loop.

However, this broke the test for user input of the form 'N?', because
when kconfig selects the single valid option the input is zero-length
and the test will read the byte before the input buffer.  If this
happens to contain '?' (as it will in a mips build on Debian unstable
today) then kconfig again enters an infinite loop.

dea3667bc3 vfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rules
The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long
while, in odd ways.  That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile
and non-obvious.

In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an
explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit.  That's despite the fact that the hash
abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed
or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer).

The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry
unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the
dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit
b3423415fb: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries").

That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic
for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case,
because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for
whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a
dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed'
and wouldn't be free'd correctly.

That's just insane.  It made the logic really hard to follow, when there
were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one
that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with
being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead.

So turn all of it around, and make it logical.

Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether
the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed
logic for that.  Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()",
and everything makes sense.

And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit.
If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is
visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now
needs the RCU lifetime rules.  Now suddently that test at dentry free
time makes sense too.

And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry
got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have
some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use
common code for the unhashing.

Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in
the previous chain locking cleanup commit.

b07ad9967f vfs: get rid of 'struct dcache_hash_bucket' abstraction
It's a useless abstraction for 'hlist_bl_head', and it doesn't actually
help anything - quite the reverse.  All the users end up having to know
about the hlist_bl_head details anyway, using 'struct hlist_bl_node *'
etc. So it just makes the code look confusing.

And the cost of it is extra '&b->head' syntactic noise, but more
importantly it spuriously makes the hash table dentry list look
different from the per-superblock DCACHE_DISCONNECTED dentry list.

As a result, the code ended up using ad-hoc locking for one case and
special helper functions for what is really another totally identical
case in the very same function.

Make it all look and work the same.

f4929bd372 perf, x86: Update/fix Intel Nehalem cache events
Change the Nehalem cache events to use retired memory instruction counters
(similar to Westmere), this greatly improves the provided stats.

Using:

main ()
{
        int i;

        for (i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++) {
                asm("mov (%%rsp), %%rbx;"
                    "mov %%rbx, (%%rsp);" : : : "rbx");
        }
}

We find:

 $ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e l1-dcache-loads:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
  Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
      4,000,081,056 instructions:u           #      0.000 IPC ( +-   0.000% )
      4,999,502,846 l1-dcache-loads:u          ( +-   0.008% )
      1,000,034,832 l1-dcache-stores:u         ( +-   0.000% )
         1.565184942  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.005% )

The 5b is surprising - we'd expect 1b:

 $ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e r10b:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
  Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
      4,000,081,054 instructions:u           #      0.000 IPC ( +-   0.000% )

      1,000,030,951 l1-dcache-stores:u         ( +-   0.000% )
         1.565055422  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.003% )

Which this patch thus fixes.

1ea5a6afd9 perf, x86: P4 PMU - Don't forget to clear cpuc->active_mask on overflow
It's not enough to simply disable event on overflow the
cpuc->active_mask should be cleared as well otherwise counter
may stall in "active" even in real being already disabled (which
potentially may lead to the situation that user may not use this
counter further).

Don pointed out that:

 " I also noticed this patch fixed some unknown NMIs
   on a P4 when I stressed the box".

b52c55c6a2 x86, perf event: Turn off unstructured raw event access to offcore registers
Andi Kleen pointed out that the Intel offcore support patches were merged
without user-space tool support to the functionality:

 |
 | The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the
 | user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask
 | and actually do the OFFCORE profiling
 |

Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an
extension to perf's raw event syntax:

 |
 | Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional
 | parameters. These can be appended after a ':'.
 |
 | For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem:
 |
 |    perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1
 |
 | Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0
 | that measures any access to DRAM on another socket.
 |

But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not
be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get
access to useful hardware functionality.

The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via
generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific
CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some
model specific quirky hexa number.

We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events,
and it's all very extensible.

"Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various
parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems.

We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the
fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate
generalization category.

That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access
profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like:

  perf record -e dram ./myapp
  perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp

... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM
accesses.

These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that
have comparable PMU features.

( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more
  sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around
  similarly simple usecases. )

Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they
are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented
in this commit:

  e994d7d23a: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere

But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events
to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented
for these hardware event features.

( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be
  supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally
  useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely
  *not* such a category so generalization must be done first. )

Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended
to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above
e994d7d23a commit, not mentioned in the changelog.

As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable
the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released
kernel and becomes an ABI.

Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users
are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.

7eec77a181 ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd and ide-cd
check_events() implementations in both ide-gd and ide-cd are
inadequate for in-kernel event polling.  Both generate media change
events continuously when certain conditions are met causing infinite
event loop between the driver and userland event handler.

As disk event now supports suppression of unlisted events, simply
de-listing DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from disk->events resolves the
problem.  Internal handling around media revalidation will behave the
same while userland will fall back to userland event polling after
detecting the device doesn't support disk events.

7c88a168da block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland
DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE is used for both userland visible event and
internal event for revalidation of removeable devices.  Some legacy
drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously
generate events under certain circumstances.  For example, ide-cd
generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive,
which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth
between the driver and userland event handler.

This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never
propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland.  Those
events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent
generation is suppressed.

This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised
in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.

3aa72873ff elevator: check for ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE in !elvpriv case too
The sort insert is the one that goes to the IO scheduler. With
the SORT_MERGE addition, we could bypass IO scheduler setup
but still ask the IO scheduler to insert the request. This would
cause an oops on switching IO schedulers through the sysfs
interface, unless the disk just happened to be idle while it
occured.

afa2689e19 virtio: console: Enable call to hvc_remove() on console port remove
This call was disabled as hot-unplugging one virtconsole port led to
another virtconsole port freezing.

Upon testing it again, this now works, so enable it.

In addition, a bug was found in qemu wherein removing a port of one type
caused the guest output from another port to stop working.  I doubt it
was just this bug that caused it (since disabling the hvc_remove() call
did allow other ports to continue working), but since it's all solved
now, we're fine with hot-unplugging of virtconsole ports.
