Peter Zijlstra f4c4176f21 perf events: Allow per-task-per-cpu counters
In order to allow for per-task-per-cpu counters, useful for
scalability when profiling task hierarchies, we allow installing
events with event->cpu != -1 in task contexts.

__perf_event_sched_in() already skips events where ->cpu
mis-matches the current cpu, fix up __perf_install_in_context()
and __perf_event_enable() to also respect this filter.

This does lead to vary hard to interpret enabled/running times
for such counters, but I don't see a simple solution for that.

Christoph Hellwig c05c4edd87 direct I/O fallback sync simplification
In the case of direct I/O falling back to buffered I/O we sync data
twice currently: once at the end of generic_file_buffered_write using
filemap_write_and_wait_range and once a little later in
__generic_file_aio_write using do_sync_mapping_range with all flags set.

The wait before write of the do_sync_mapping_range call does not make
any sense, so just keep the filemap_write_and_wait_range call and move
it to the right spot.

Christoph Hellwig 1e431f5ce7 cleanup blockdev_direct_IO locking
Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three different
locking types and very confusing checks for some of them.  The most
complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not actually be
used.

This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read case
is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to DIO_NO_LOCKING.
The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the create argument for
the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily move that to the actual
get_blocks callbacks.  There are four users of the DIO_NO_LOCKING mode:
gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is fine with the new
version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set, and we can remove
this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses create for an
error message if we are fully beyond the device which can never happen,
and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for writes.

Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
flag.  Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a separate
flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same time.

Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make sense.

Christoph Hellwig 431547b3c4 sanitize xattr handler prototypes
Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
handler methods.  This allows using the same methods for multiple
handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute.  With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.

Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
e.g. cifs.

Jeff Layton 39159de2a0 vfs: force reval of target when following LAST_BIND symlinks (try #7)
procfs-style symlinks return a last_type of LAST_BIND without an actual
path string. This causes __follow_link to skip calling __vfs_follow_link
and so the dentry isn't revalidated.

This is a problem when the link target sits on NFSv4 as it depends on
the VFS to revalidate the dentry before using it on an open call. Ensure
that this occurs by forcing a revalidation of the target dentry of
LAST_BIND symlinks.

Kill the 'update' argument of ima_path_check(), kill

Current rules: ima counters are bumped at the same time

This is a more intuitive / more meaningful default:

$ perf diff | head -8
     9.02%     +1.00%  libc-2.10.1.so               [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
     2.91%     -1.00%  [kernel]                     [k] __kmalloc
     2.85%     -1.00%  [kernel]                     [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
     1.99%     -1.00%  [kernel]                     [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
     2.44%             [kernel]

Jes Sorensen 42b4e9ee3d Toshiba Bluetooth Enabling driver (RFKill handler v3)
This patch adds support for the ACPI events generated by the RFKill
switch on modern Toshiba laptops, and re-enables the Bluetooth USB
device when the switch is flipped back to the 'on' position.

The RFKill switch brute force pulls out the USB device when flipped to
'off', but it doesn't automatically re-enable it. Without this driver,
the Bluetooth is gone until after a reboot on my Portege R500.

Borislav Petkov 256f7276af edac, mce, amd: silence GART TLB errors
Although reporting of benign GART TLB errors is disabled in
__mcheck_cpu_apply_quirks, those are still being logged, and, as a
result, trip up amd64_edac. Pull up reporting check so that machines
with loaded edac module bail out early and don't spit fragments into
dmesg.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c351c28161 perf diff: Use perf_session__fprintf_hists just like 'perf record'
That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:

$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
samples) ] perf diff | head -8
     9.02%     +1.00%     find  libc-2.10.1.so               [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
     2.91%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] __kmalloc
     2.85%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
     1.99%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
     2.44%                find  [kernel]                     [k] half_md4_transform
$

So if you want to zoom into libc:

$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
    37.34%                find  [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%                find  [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%     find  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_free
$

And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:

$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
    37.34%             [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%             [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%  [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%  [.] _int_free
$

The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:

perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
    37.34%                   [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%                   [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%        [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%    +2  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%    -1  [.] _int_free
$

Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:

$ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove
8.25,+2.00%, ,[.] _int_malloc
5.07,-1.00%,  +2,[.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62,+2.00%,  -1,[.] _int_free
6.99,+1.00%,  -1,[.] _IO_new_file_xsputn
1.89,-2.00%,  +4,[.] __readdir64
