Mikulas Patocka 76f5bee5c3 dm stats: initialize read-only module parameter
The module parameter stats_current_allocated_bytes in dm-mod is
read-only.  This parameter informs the user about memory
consumption.  It is not supposed to be changed by the user.

However, despite being read-only, this parameter can be set on
modprobe or insmod command line:
modprobe dm-mod stats_current_allocated_bytes=12345

The kernel doesn't expect that this variable can be non-zero at module
initialization and if the user sets it, it results in warning.

This patch initializes the variable in the module init routine, so
that user-supplied value is ignored.

Mikulas Patocka bbf3f8cbdc dm stats: fix possible counter corruption on 32-bit systems
There was a deliberate race condition in dm_stat_for_entry() to avoid the
overhead of disabling and enabling interrupts.  The race could result in
some events not being counted on 64-bit architectures.

However, on 32-bit architectures, operations on long long variables are
not atomic, so the race condition could cause the counter to jump by 2^32.
Such jumps could be disruptive, so we need to do proper locking on 32-bit
architectures.

Mikulas Patocka fd2ed4d252 dm: add statistics support
Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of
a DM device.  If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so
there isn't any performance impact.  Only bio-based DM devices are
currently supported.

Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step.
Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within
the range specified.

The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are
in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra
counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and
writing in milliseconds.  All these counters may be accessed by sending
the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup.

The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or
fallback to using vmalloc space.  At most, 1/4 of the overall system
memory may be allocated by DM statistics.  The admin can see how much
memory is used by reading
/sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes

See Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt for more details.
