printk_ratelimit() has global state which makes it not useful for callers
which wish to perform ratelimiting at a particular frequency.
Add a printk_timed_ratelimit() which utilises caller-provided state storage to
permit more flexibility.
This function can in fact be used for things other than printk ratelimiting
and is perhaps poorly named.

If there are no listeners, taskstats_exit_send() just returns because
taskstats_exit_alloc() didn't allocate *tidstats. This is wrong, each
sub-thread should do fill_tgid_exit() on exit, otherwise its ->delays is
not recorded in ->signal->stats and lost.
Q: We don't send TASKSTATS_TYPE_AGGR_TGID when single-threaded process
exits. Is it good? How can the listener figure out that it was actually a
process exit, not sub-thread?

The use of blocking notifier by _cpu_up and _cpu_down in cpu.c has two
problem.
1/ An interaction with the workqueue notifier causes lockdep to spit a
warning.
2/ A notifier could conceivable be added or removed while _cpu_up or
_cpu_down are in process. As each notifier is called twice (prepare
then commit/abort) this could be unhealthy.
To fix to we simply take cpu_add_remove_lock while adding or removing
notifiers to/from the list.
This makes the 'blocking' usage unnecessary as all accesses to cpu_chain
are now protected by cpu_add_remove_lock. So change "blocking" to "raw" in
all relevant places. This fixes 1.

The integer divisions in the timer accounting code can round the result
down to 0. Adding 0 is without effect and the signal delivery stops.
Clamp the division result to minimum 1 to avoid this.
Problem was reported by Seongbae Park <spark@google.com>, who provided
also an inital patch.
Roland sayeth:
I have had some more time to think about the problem, and to reproduce it
using Toyo's test case. For the record, if my understanding of the problem
is correct, this happens only in one very particular case. First, the
expiry time has to be so soon that in cputime_t units (usually 1s/HZ ticks)
it's < nthreads so the division yields zero. Second, it only affects each
thread that is so new that its CPU time accumulation is zero so now+0 is
still zero and ->it_*_expires winds up staying zero. For the VIRT and PROF
clocks when cputime_t is tick granularity (or the SCHED clock on
configurations where sched_clock's value only advances on clock ticks), this
is not hard to arrange with new threads starting up and blocking before they
accumulate a whole tick of CPU time. That's what happens in Toyo's test
case.
Note that in general it is fine for that division to round down to zero,
and set each thread's expiry time to its "now" time. The problem only
arises with thread's whose "now" value is still zero, so that now+0 winds up
0 and is interpreted as "not set" instead of ">= now". So it would be a
sufficient and more precise fix to just use max(ticks, 1) inside the loop
when setting each it_*_expires value.
But, it does no harm to round the division up to one and always advance
every thread's expiry time. If the thread didn't already fire timers for
the expiry time of "now", there is no expectation that it will do so before
the next tick anyway. So I followed Thomas's patch in lifting the max out
of the loops.
This patch also covers the reload cases, which are harder to write a test
for (and I didn't try). I've tested it with Toyo's case and it fixes that.

Avoid possible PIT livelock issues seen on SMP systems (and reported by
Andi), by not allowing it as a clocksource on SMP boxes.
However, since the PIT may no longer be present, we have to properly handle
the cases where SMP systems have TSC skew and fall back from the TSC.
Since the PIT isn't there, it would "fall back" to the TSC again. So this
changes the jiffies rating to 1, and the TSC-bad rating value to 0.
Thus you will get the following behavior priority on i386 systems:
tsc [if present & stable]
hpet [if present]
cyclone [if present]
acpi_pm [if present]
pit [if UP]
jiffies
Rather then the current more complicated:
tsc [if present & stable]
hpet [if present]
cyclone [if present]
acpi_pm [if present]
pit [if cpus < 4]
tsc [if present & unstable]

In general, lockdep warnings are intended to be non-fatal, so I have put in
various practical limits on internal data structure failure modes. We haven't
had a /single/ lockdep-internal crash ever since lockdep went upstream [the
unwinder crashes are outside of lockdep], and that's largely due to the good
internal checks it does.
Recursion within the dependency graph is currently limited to 20, that's
probably not enough on some many-CPU boxes - this patch doubles it to 40. I
have written the lockdep functions to have as small stackframes as possible,
so 40 should be OK too. (The practical recursion limit should be somewhere
between 100 and 200 entries. If we hit that then I'll change the algorithm to
be iteration-based. Graph walking logic is so easy to program via recursion,
so i'd like to keep recursion as long as possible.)

Bug reported and fixed by Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>: if lockdep is
enabled then log messages make it to /var/log/messages belatedly. The
reason is a missed wakeup of klogd.
Initially there was only a lockdep_internal() protection against lockdep
recursion within vprintk() - it grew the 'outer' lockdep_off()/on()
protection only later on. But that lockdep_off() made the
release_console_sem() within vprintk() always happen under the
lockdep_internal() condition, causing the bug.
The right solution to remove the inner protection against recursion here -
the outer one is enough.

lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.
This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().
We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.
This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.
Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

(ratio of 669669:691 ~= 1000:1).
- it isn't unlikely that context switching switches to another process. it
might be very rapidly switching to and from the idle process (ratio of
475815:419004 and 471330:423544). Let the branch predictor decide.
- preempt_enable seems to be very often called in a nested preempt_disable

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.
