CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
The x86 arch has shifted its use of the nmi_watchdog from a
local implementation to the global one provide by
kernel/watchdog.c. This shift has caused a whole bunch of
compile problems under different config options. I attempt to
simplify things with the patch below.
In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the
meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Basically they mean the same thing,
the former on a local level and the latter on a global level.
With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on
defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't
make sense any more. x86 will now use the global
implementation.
The changes below do a few things. First it changes the few
places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter
anyway, so nothing unusual here). Those pieces of code were
relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog
functionality, so the change should make sense.
Second, I removed the x86 implementation of
touch_nmi_watchdog(). It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely
on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation.
Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from
x86. And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to
look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of
ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This
changes removes some of the ugliness in that file.
Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have
ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. You can
only have one nmi_watchdog.
Tested with
ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken
configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig,
(various broken configs)
Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken
emails. :-)
v3:
changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function
prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.

The timerlist infrastructure is a thin layer over the rbtree
code that implements a simple list of timers sorted by an
expires value, and a getnext function that provides a pointer
to the earliest timer.
This infrastructure allows drivers and other kernel infrastructure
to easily implement timers without duplicating code.

This reverts commit e0fdace10e75dac67d906213b780ff1b1a4cc360.
On-list discussion seems to suggest that the robustness fixes for printk
make this unnecessary and DaveM has also agreed in person at Kernel Summit
and on list.
The main problem with this code is once we hit a lockdep splat we always
keep oops_in_progress set, the console layer uses oops_in_progress with KMS
to decide when it should be showing the oops and not showing X, so it causes
problems around suspend/resume time when a userspace resume can cause a console
switch away from X, only if oops_in_progress is set (which is what we want
if an oops actually is in progress, but not because we had a lockdep splat
2 days prior).

This adds generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving
Averages (EWMA). This implementation makes use of a structure which keeps the
EWMA parameters and a scaled up internal representation to reduce rounding
errors.
The original idea for this implementation came from the rt2x00 driver
(rt2x00link.c). I would like to use it in several places in the mac80211 and
ath5k code and I hope it can be useful in many other places in the kernel code.

Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug:
In the following case, we get can get a deadlock:
0. The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0.
1. The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock.
2. The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item.
3. The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is
moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for
deletion after the readers finish.
3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in
the rcu-delayed indirect node.
4. The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref
count
5. The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or
the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking
at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because
the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop.
The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot
lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

The current implementation of div64_u64 for 32bit systems returns an
approximately correct result when the divisor exceeds 32bits. Since doing
64bit division using 32bit hardware is a long since solved problem we just
use one of the existing proven methods.
Additionally, add a div64_s64 function to correctly handle doing signed
64bit division.

The 'lib_sort()' test does not free memory if it fails, and it makes the
kernel panic if it cannot allocate memory. This patch fixes the problem.
This patch also changes several small things:
o use 'list_add()' helper instead of adding manually
o introduce temporary 'el1' variable to avoid ugly and unreadalbe
"if" statement
o make 'head' to be stack variable instead of 'kmalloc()'ed, which
simplifies code a bit
Overall, this patch is of clean-up type.

Instead of using own pseudo-random generator, use generic linux
'random32()' function. Presumably, this should improve test coverage.
At the same time, do the following changes:
o Use shorter macro name for test list length
o Do not use strange 'l_h' name for 'struct list_head' element,
use 'list', because it is traditional name and thus, makes the
code more obvious and readable.

While hunting a non-existing bug in 'list_sort()', I've improved the
'list_sort_test()' function which tests the 'list_sort()' library call.
Although at the end I found a bug in my code, but not in 'list_sort()', I
think my clean-ups and improvements are worth merging because they make
the test function better.

All percpu counters are linked to a global list on initialization and
removed from it on destruction. The list is walked during CPU up/down.
If a percpu counter is freed without being properly destroyed, the system
will oops only on the next CPU up/down making it pretty nasty to track
down. This patch adds debugobj support for percpu counters so that such
problems can be found easily.
As percpu counters don't make sense on stack and can't be statically
initialized, debugobj support is pretty simple. It's initialized and
activated on counter initialization, and deactivatd and destroyed on
counter destruction. With this patch applied, the bug fixed by commit
602586a83b719df0fbd94196a1359ed35aeb2df3 (shmem: put_super must
percpu_counter_destroy) triggers the following warning on tmpfs unmount
and the system won't oops on the next cpu up/down operation.

It's because there is no initialization code for a list_head contained in

when block device drivers calling blk_alloc_queue() are used. In case of
me, I got them by using aoe.

One call chain getting to kset_find_obj is:
link_mem_sections()
find_mem_section()
kset_find_obj()
This is done during boot. The memory sections were added in a linearly
increasing order and link_mem_sections tends to utilize them in that
same linear order.
Introduce a kset_find_obj_hinted which is passed the result of the
previous kset_find_obj which it uses for a quick "is the next object
our desired object" check before falling back to the old behavior.

Having the ddebug_query= boot parameter it makes sense to set up
dynamic debug as soon as possible.
I expect sysfs files cannot be set up via an arch_initcall, because
this one is even before fs_initcall. Therefore I splitted the
dynamic_debug_init function into an early one and a later one providing
/sys/../dynamic_debug/control file.
Possibly dynamic_debug can be initialized even earlier, not sure whether
this still makes sense then. I picked up arch_initcall as it covers
quite a lot already.
Dynamic debug needs to allocate memory, therefore it's not easily possible to
set it up even before the command line gets parsed.
Therefore the boot param query string is stored in a temp string which is
applied when dynamic debug gets set up.
This has been tested with ddebug_query="file ec.c +p"
and I could retrieve pr_debug() messages early at boot during ACPI setup:
ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT
ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x08
ACPI: EC: transaction start
ACPI: EC: <--- command = 0x80
ACPI: EC: ~~~> interrupt
ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x08
ACPI: EC: <--- data = 0xa4
...
ACPI: Interpreter enabled
ACPI: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5)
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x00
ACPI: EC: transaction start
ACPI: EC: <--- command = 0x80

Dynamic debug lacks the ability to enable debug messages at boot time.
One could patch initramfs or service startup scripts to write to
/sys/../dynamic_debug/control, but this sucks.
This patch makes it possible to pass a query in the same format one can
write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control via boot param.
When dynamic debug gets initialized, this query will automatically be
applied.

With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a
few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even
there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do
about them, this patch illustrates one of the options:
Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig,
and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets
disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL
code itself is compiled out.
The one exception is file locking, which is practically always
enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces
CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd
mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c.
