2014-01-21mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and endMel Gorman
The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform. Another set of results is when configuring stress-highalloc t allocate with similar flags as THP uses: (GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NO_KSWAPD) stress-highalloc 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 2-thp 3-thp 4-thp 5-thp 6-thp Success 1 Min 2.00 ( 0.00%) 7.00 (-250.00%) 18.00 (-800.00%) 19.00 (-850.00%) 26.00 (-1200.00%) Success 1 Mean 19.20 ( 0.00%) 17.80 ( 7.29%) 29.20 (-52.08%) 29.90 (-55.73%) 32.80 (-70.83%) Success 1 Max 27.00 ( 0.00%) 29.00 ( -7.41%) 35.00 (-29.63%) 36.00 (-33.33%) 37.00 (-37.04%) Success 2 Min 3.00 ( 0.00%) 8.00 (-166.67%) 21.00 (-600.00%) 21.00 (-600.00%) 32.00 (-966.67%) Success 2 Mean 19.30 ( 0.00%) 17.90 ( 7.25%) 32.20 (-66.84%) 32.60 (-68.91%) 35.70 (-84.97%) Success 2 Max 27.00 ( 0.00%) 30.00 (-11.11%) 36.00 (-33.33%) 37.00 (-37.04%) 39.00 (-44.44%) Success 3 Min 62.00 ( 0.00%) 62.00 ( 0.00%) 85.00 (-37.10%) 75.00 (-20.97%) 64.00 ( -3.23%) Success 3 Mean 66.30 ( 0.00%) 65.50 ( 1.21%) 85.60 (-29.11%) 83.40 (-25.79%) 83.50 (-25.94%) Success 3 Max 70.00 ( 0.00%) 69.00 ( 1.43%) 87.00 (-24.29%) 86.00 (-22.86%) 87.00 (-24.29%) 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 2-thp 3-thp 4-thp 5-thp 6-thp User 6547.93 6475.85 6265.54 6289.46 6189.96 System 1053.42 1047.28 1043.23 1042.73 1038.73 Elapsed 1835.43 1821.96 1908.67 1912.74 1956.38 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 3.13-rc2 2-thp 3-thp 4-thp 5-thp 6-thp Minor Faults 256805673 253106328 253222299 249830289 251184418 Major Faults 395 375 423 434 448 Swap Ins 12 10 10 12 9 Swap Outs 530 537 487 455 415 Direct pages scanned 71859 86046 153244 152764 190713 Kswapd pages scanned 1900994 1870240 1898012 1892864 1880520 Kswapd pages reclaimed 1897814 1867428 1894939 1890125 1877924 Direct pages reclaimed 71766 85908 153167 152643 190600 Kswapd efficiency 99% 99% 99% 99% 99% Kswapd velocity 1029.000 1067.782 1000.091 991.049 951.218 Direct efficiency 99% 99% 99% 99% 99% Direct velocity 38.897 49.127 80.747 79.983 96.468 Percentage direct scans 3% 4% 7% 7% 9% Zone normal velocity 351.377 372.494 348.910 341.689 335.310 Zone dma32 velocity 716.520 744.414 731.928 729.343 712.377 Zone dma velocity 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 Page writes by reclaim 669.300 604.000 545.700 538.900 429.900 Page writes file 138 66 58 83 14 Page writes anon 530 537 487 455 415 Page reclaim immediate 806 655 772 548 517 Sector Reads 2711956 2703239 2811602 2818248 2839459 Sector Writes 12163238 12018662 12038248 11954736 11994892 Page rescued immediate 0 0 0 0 0 Slabs scanned 1385088 1388364 1507968 1513292 1558656 Direct inode steals 1739 2564 4622 5496 6007 Kswapd inode steals 47461 46406 47804 48013 48466 Kswapd skipped wait 0 0 0 0 0 THP fault alloc 110 82 84 69 70 THP collapse alloc 445 482 467 462 539 THP splits 6 5 4 5 3 THP fault fallback 3 0 0 0 0 THP collapse fail 15 14 14 14 13 Compaction stalls 659 685 1033 1073 1111 Compaction success 222 225 410 427 456 Compaction failures 436 460 622 646 655 Page migrate success 446594 439978 1085640 1095062 1131716 Page migrate failure 0 0 0 0 0 Compaction pages isolated 1029475 1013490 2453074 2482698 2565400 Compaction migrate scanned 9955461 11344259 24375202 27978356 30494204 Compaction free scanned 27715272 28544654 80150615 82898631 85756132 Compaction cost 552 555 1344 1379 1436 NUMA PTE updates 0 0 0 0 0 NUMA hint faults 0 0 0 0 0 NUMA hint local faults 0 0 0 0 0 NUMA hint local percent 100 100 100 100 100 NUMA pages migrated 0 0 0 0 0 AutoNUMA cost 0 0 0 0 0 There are some differences from the previous results for THP-like allocations: - Here, the bad result for unpatched kernel in phase 3 is much more consistent to be between 65-70% and not related to the "regression" in 3.12. Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

2014-01-21sched: add tracepoints related to NUMA task migrationMel Gorman
This patch adds three tracepoints o trace_sched_move_numa when a task is moved to a node o trace_sched_swap_numa when a task is swapped with another task o trace_sched_stick_numa when a numa-related migration fails The tracepoints allow the NUMA scheduler activity to be monitored and the following high-level metrics can be calculated o NUMA migrated stuck nr trace_sched_stick_numa o NUMA migrated idle nr trace_sched_move_numa o NUMA migrated swapped nr trace_sched_swap_numa o NUMA local swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid == dst_nid (should never happen) o NUMA remote swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid != dst_nid (should == NUMA migrated swapped) o NUMA group swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_ngid == dst_ngid Maybe a small number of these are acceptable but a high number would be a major surprise. It would be even worse if bounces are frequent. o NUMA avg task migs. Average number of migrations for tasks o NUMA stddev task mig Self-explanatory o NUMA max task migs. Maximum number of migrations for a single task In general the intent of the tracepoints is to help diagnose problems where automatic NUMA balancing appears to be doing an excessive amount of useless work.

2014-01-09tracing: Consolidate event trigger codeSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The event trigger code that checks for callback triggers before and after recording of an event has lots of flags checks. This code is duplicated throughout the ftrace events, kprobes and system calls. They all do the exact same checks against the event flags. Added helper functions ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled(), event_trigger_unlock_commit() and event_trigger_unlock_commit_regs() that consolidated the code and these are used instead.

2013-12-21tracing: Add and use generic set_trigger_filter() implementationTom Zanussi
Add a generic event_command.set_trigger_filter() op implementation and have the current set of trigger commands use it - this essentially gives them all support for filters. Syntactically, filters are supported by adding 'if <filter>' just after the command, in which case only events matching the filter will invoke the trigger. For example, to add a filter to an enable/disable_event command: echo 'enable_event:system:event if common_pid == 999' > \ .../othersys/otherevent/trigger The above command will only enable the system:event event if the common_pid field in the othersys:otherevent event is 999. As another example, to add a filter to a stacktrace command: echo 'stacktrace if common_pid == 999' > \ .../somesys/someevent/trigger The above command will only trigger a stacktrace if the common_pid field in the event is 999. The filter syntax is the same as that described in the 'Event filtering' section of Documentation/trace/events.txt. Because triggers can now use filters, the trigger-invoking logic needs to be moved in those cases - e.g. for ftrace_raw_event_calls, if a trigger has a filter associated with it, the trigger invocation now needs to happen after the { assign; } part of the call, in order for the trigger condition to be tested. There's still a SOFT_DISABLED-only check at the top of e.g. the ftrace_raw_events function, so when an event is soft disabled but not because of the presence of a trigger, the original SOFT_DISABLED behavior remains unchanged. There's also a bit of trickiness in that some triggers need to avoid being invoked while an event is currently in the process of being logged, since the trigger may itself log data into the trace buffer. Thus we make sure the current event is committed before invoking those triggers. To do that, we split the trigger invocation in two - the first part (event_triggers_call()) checks the filter using the current trace record; if a command has the post_trigger flag set, it sets a bit for itself in the return value, otherwise it directly invoks the trigger. Once all commands have been either invoked or set their return flag, event_triggers_call() returns. The current record is then either committed or discarded; if any commands have deferred their triggers, those commands are finally invoked following the close of the current event by event_triggers_post_call(). To simplify the above and make it more efficient, the TRIGGER_COND bit is introduced, which is set only if a soft-disabled trigger needs to use the log record for filter testing or needs to wait until the current log record is closed. The syscall event invocation code is also changed in analogous ways. Because event triggers need to be able to create and free filters, this also adds a couple external wrappers for the existing create_filter and free_filter functions, which are too generic to be made extern functions themselves.

'trace event triggers' are patterned after the existing 'ftrace function triggers' implementation except that triggers are written to per-event 'trigger' files instead of to a single file such as the 'set_ftrace_filter' used for ftrace function triggers. The implementation is meant to be entirely separate from ftrace function triggers, in order to keep the respective implementations relatively simple and to allow them to diverge. The event trigger functionality is built on top of SOFT_DISABLE functionality. It adds a TRIGGER_MODE bit to the ftrace_event_file flags which is checked when any trace event fires. Triggers set for a particular event need to be checked regardless of whether that event is actually enabled or not - getting an event to fire even if it's not enabled is what's already implemented by SOFT_DISABLE mode, so trigger mode directly reuses that. Event trigger essentially inherit the soft disable logic in __ftrace_event_enable_disable() while adding a bit of logic and trigger reference counting via tm_ref on top of that in a new trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() function. Because the base __ftrace_event_enable_disable() code now needs to be invoked from outside trace_events.c, a wrapper is also added for those usages. The triggers for an event are actually invoked via a new function, event_triggers_call(), and code is also added to invoke them for ftrace_raw_event calls as well as syscall events. The main part of the patch creates a new trace_events_trigger.c file to contain the trace event triggers implementation. The standard open, read, and release file operations are implemented here. The open() implementation sets up for the various open modes of the 'trigger' file. It creates and attaches the trigger iterator and sets up the command parser. If opened for reading set up the trigger seq_ops. The read() implementation parses the event trigger written to the 'trigger' file, looks up the trigger command, and passes it along to that event_command's func() implementation for command-specific processing. The release() implementation does whatever cleanup is needed to release the 'trigger' file, like releasing the parser and trigger iterator, etc. A couple of functions for event command registration and unregistration are added, along with a list to add them to and a mutex to protect them, as well as an (initially empty) registration function to add the set of commands that will be added by future commits, and call to it from the trace event initialization code. also added are a couple trigger-specific data structures needed for these implementations such as a trigger iterator and a struct for trigger-specific data. A couple structs consisting mostly of function meant to be implemented in command-specific ways, event_command and event_trigger_ops, are used by the generic event trigger command implementations. They're being put into trace.h alongside the other trace_event data structures and functions, in the expectation that they'll be needed in several trace_event-related files such as trace_events_trigger.c and trace_events.c. The event_command.func() function is meant to be called by the trigger parsing code in order to add a trigger instance to the corresponding event. It essentially coordinates adding a live trigger instance to the event, and arming the triggering the event. Every event_command func() implementation essentially does the same thing for any command: - choose ops - use the value of param to choose either a number or count version of event_trigger_ops specific to the command - do the register or unregister of those ops - associate a filter, if specified, with the triggering event The reg() and unreg() ops allow command-specific implementations for event_trigger_op registration and unregistration, and the get_trigger_ops() op allows command-specific event_trigger_ops selection to be parameterized. When a trigger instance is added, the reg() op essentially adds that trigger to the triggering event and arms it, while unreg() does the opposite. The set_filter() function is used to associate a filter with the trigger - if the command doesn't specify a set_filter() implementation, the command will ignore filters. Each command has an associated trigger_type, which serves double duty, both as a unique identifier for the command as well as a value that can be used for setting a trigger mode bit during trigger invocation. The signature of func() adds a pointer to the event_command struct, used to invoke those functions, along with a command_data param that can be passed to the reg/unreg functions. This allows func() implementations to use command-specific blobs and supports code re-use. The event_trigger_ops.func() command corrsponds to the trigger 'probe' function that gets called when the triggering event is actually invoked. The other functions are used to list the trigger when needed, along with a couple mundane book-keeping functions. This also moves event_file_data() into trace.h so it can be used outside of trace_events.c.

There's inconsistency between dmesg and the trace event output. When dmesg says "severity=Corrected", the trace event says "severity=Fatal". What happens is that HW_EVENT_ERR_CORRECTED is defined in edac.h: enum hw_event_mc_err_type { HW_EVENT_ERR_CORRECTED, HW_EVENT_ERR_UNCORRECTED, HW_EVENT_ERR_FATAL, HW_EVENT_ERR_INFO, }; while aer_print_error() uses aer_error_severity_string[] defined as: static const char *aer_error_severity_string[] = { "Uncorrected (Non-Fatal)", "Uncorrected (Fatal)", "Corrected" }; In this case dmesg is correct because info->severity is assigned in aer_isr_one_error() using the definitions in include/linux/ras.h: Signed-off-by: Rui Wang <rui.y.wang@intel.com> Acked-by: Ethan Zhao <ethan.kernel@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/CANVTcTaP18CiGOSEcX5Ch_wPw9mEhkgokfp+d+ZOMFD+Ce4juA@mail.gmail.com Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

2013-11-20btrfs: Use trace condition for get_extent tracepointSteven Rostedt
Doing an if statement to test some condition to know if we should trigger a tracepoint is pointless when tracing is disabled. This just adds overhead and wastes a branch prediction. This is why the TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() was created. It places the check inside the jump label so that the branch does not happen unless tracing is enabled. That is, instead of doing: if (em) trace_btrfs_get_extent(root, em); Which is basically this: if (em) if (static_key(trace_btrfs_get_extent)) { Using a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() we can just do: trace_btrfs_get_extent(root, em); And the condition trace event will do: if (static_key(trace_btrfs_get_extent)) { if (em) { ... The static key is a non conditional jump (or nop) that is faster than having to check if em is NULL or not.

2013-11-19ftrace, perf: Avoid infinite event generation loopPeter Zijlstra
Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem. When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an infinite event generation loop: ,-> <IPI> | irq_work_exit() -> | trace_irq_work_exit() -> | ... | __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync) | irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty) '--------- arch_irq_work_raise() Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit. To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint. In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a tracepoint perf event.

The short <blurb> is that the tracing facility (just one function) has been added to SWIOTLB to make it easier to track I/O progress. Additionally under Xen and ARM (32 & 64) the Xen-SWIOTLB driver "is used to translate physical to machine and machine to physical addresses of foreign[guest] pages for DMA operations" (Stefano) when booting under hardware without proper IOMMU. There are also bug-fixes, cleanups, compile warning fixes, etc. The commit times for some of the commits is a bit fresh - that is b/c we wanted to make sure we have the Ack's from the ARM folks - which with the string of back-to-back conferences took a bit of time. Rest assured - the code has been stewing in #linux-next for some time. Features: - SWIOTLB has tracing added when doing bounce buffer. - Xen ARM/ARM64 can use Xen-SWIOTLB. This work allows Linux to safely program real devices for DMA operations when running as a guest on Xen on ARM, without IOMMU support. [*1] - xen_raw_printk works with PVHVM guests if needed. Bug-fixes: - Make memory ballooning work under HVM with large MMIO region. - Inform hypervisor of MCFG regions found in ACPI DSDT. - Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED. - Remove deprecated __cpuinit. [*1]: "On arm and arm64 all Xen guests, including dom0, run with second stage translation enabled. As a consequence when dom0 programs a device for a DMA operation is going to use (pseudo) physical addresses instead machine addresses. This work introduces two trees to track physical to machine and machine to physical mappings of foreign pages. Local pages are assumed mapped 1:1 (physical address == machine address).

Perf updates from Will Deacon 5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will. 6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard. 7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place. There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this mail. The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then" which would only make things worse since I still don't have the dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or reverting Ard's patches. Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs, and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches" I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell, but there may be some differences.

2013-11-13writeback: do not sync data dirtied after sync startJan Kara
When there are processes heavily creating small files while sync(2) is running, it can easily happen that quite some new files are created between WB_SYNC_NONE and WB_SYNC_ALL pass of sync(2). That can happen especially if there are several busy filesystems (remember that sync traverses filesystems sequentially and waits in WB_SYNC_ALL phase on one fs before starting it on another fs). Because WB_SYNC_ALL pass is slow (e.g. causes a transaction commit and cache flush for each inode in ext3), resulting sync(2) times are rather large. The following script reproduces the problem: function run_writers { for (( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )); do mkdir $1/dir$i for (( j = 0; j < 40000; j++ )); do dd if=/dev/zero of=$1/dir$i/$j bs=4k count=4 &>/dev/null done & done } for dir in "$@"; do run_writers $dir done sleep 40 time sync Fix the problem by disregarding inodes dirtied after sync(2) was called in the WB_SYNC_ALL pass. To allow for this, sync_inodes_sb() now takes a time stamp when sync has started which is used for setting up work for flusher threads. To give some numbers, when above script is run on two ext4 filesystems on simple SATA drive, the average sync time from 10 runs is 267.549 seconds with standard deviation 104.799426. With the patched kernel, the average sync time from 10 runs is 2.995 seconds with standard deviation 0.096.

2013-11-05tracing: Update event filters for multibufferTom Zanussi
The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using filters in the multibuffer case: Before: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect the same event in tracing/events as it does above. After: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away. The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard() redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as appropriate).

Page pinning is not mandatory in kvm async page fault processing since after async page fault event is delivered to a guest it accesses page once again and does its own GUP. Drop the FOLL_GET flag in GUP in async_pf code, and do some simplifying in check/clear processing.

2013-10-11spi: Provide common spi_message processing loopMark Brown
The loops which SPI controller drivers use to process the list of transfers in a spi_message are typically very similar and have some error prone areas such as the handling of /CS. Help simplify drivers by factoring this code out into the core - if drivers provide a transfer_one() function instead of a transfer_one_message() function the core will handle processing at the message level. /CS can be controlled by either setting cs_gpio or providing a set_cs function. If this is not possible for hardware reasons then both can be omitted and the driver should continue to implement manual /CS handling. This is a first step in refactoring and it is expected that there will be further enhancements, for example factoring out of the mapping of transfers for DMA and the initiation and completion of interrupt driven transfers.

2013-10-10random: convert DEBUG_ENT to tracepointsTheodore Ts'o
Instead of using the random driver's ad-hoc DEBUG_ENT() mechanism, use tracepoints instead. This allows for a much more fine-grained control of which debugging mechanism which a developer might need, and unifies the debugging messages with all of the existing tracepoints.

2013-10-10random: push extra entropy to the output poolsTheodore Ts'o
As the input pool gets filled, start transfering entropy to the output pools until they get filled. This allows us to use the output pools to store more system entropy. Waste not, want not.... Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2013-10-10random: fix the tracepoint for get_random_bytes(_arch)Theodore Ts'o
Fix a problem where get_random_bytes_arch() was calling the tracepoint get_random_bytes(). So add a new tracepoint for get_random_bytes_arch(), and make get_random_bytes() and get_random_bytes_arch() call their correct tracepoint. Also, add a new tracepoint for add_device_randomness() Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
