This is removes the use of software prefetching from the regular list
iterators. We don't want it. If you do want to prefetch in some
iterator of yours, go right ahead. Just don't expect the iterator to do
it, since normally the downsides are bigger than the upsides.
It also replaces <linux/prefetch.h> with <linux/const.h>, because the
use of LIST_POISON ends up needing it. <linux/poison.h> is sadly not
self-contained, and including prefetch.h just happened to hide that.
Suggested by David Miller (networking has a lot of regular lists that
are often empty or a single entry, and prefetching is not going to do
anything but add useless instructions).

They not only increase the code footprint, they actually make things
slower rather than faster. On internationally acclaimed benchmarks
("make -j16" on an already fully built kernel source tree) the hlist
prefetching slows down the build by up to 1%.
(Almost all of it comes from hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() as used by
avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which is very hot due to all the pathname
lookups to see if there is anything to do).
The cause seems to be two-fold:
- on at least some Intel cores, prefetch(NULL) ends up with some
microarchitectural stall due to the TLB miss that it incurs. The
hlist case triggers this very commonly, since the NULL pointer is the
last entry in the list.
- the prefetch appears to cause more D$ activity, probably because it
prefetches hash list entries that are never actually used (because we
ended the search early due to a hit).
Regardless, the numbers clearly say that the implicit prefetching is
simply a bad idea. If some _particular_ user of the hlist iterators
wants to prefetch the next list entry, they can do so themselves
explicitly, rather than depend on all list iterators doing so
implicitly.

There a large number hand-coded binary searches in the kernel (run
"git grep search | grep binary" to find many of them). Since in my
experience, hand-coding binary searches can be error-prone, it seems
worth cleaning this up by providing a generic binary search function.
This generic binary search implementation comes from Ksplice. It has
the same basic API as the C library bsearch() function. Ksplice uses
it in half a dozen places with 4 different comparison functions, and I
think our code is substantially cleaner because of this.

On m68k natural alignment is 2-byte boundary but we are trying to
align structures in __modver section on sizeof(void *) boundary.
This causes trouble when we try to access elements in this section
in array-like fashion when create "version" attributes for built-in
modules.
Moreover, as DaveM said, we can't reliably put structures into
independent objects, put them into a special section, and then expect
array access over them (via the section boundaries) after linking the
objects together to just "work" due to variable alignment choices in
different situations. The only solution that seems to work reliably
is to make an array of plain pointers to the objects in question and
put those pointers in the special section.

drivercore: revert addition of of_match to struct device
of: fix race when matching drivers
Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.
This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.
Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
If two drivers are probing devices at the same time, both will write
their match table result to the dev->of_match cache at the same time.
Only write the result if the device matches.
In a thread titled "SBus devices sometimes detected, sometimes not",
Meelis reported his SBus hme was not detected about 50% of the time.
From the debug suggested by Grant it was obvious another driver matched
some devices between the call to match the hme and the hme discovery

Commit c21e6beb removed our queue request_fn re-enter
protection, and defaulted to always running the queues from
kblockd to be safe. This was a known potential slow down,
but should be safe.
Unfortunately this is causing big performance regressions for
some, so we need to improve this logic. Looking into the details
of the re-enter, the real issue is on requeue of requests.
Requeue of requests upon seeing a BUSY condition from the device
ends up re-running the queue, causing traces like this:
scsi_request_fn()
scsi_dispatch_cmd()
scsi_queue_insert()
__scsi_queue_insert()
scsi_run_queue()
scsi_request_fn()
...
potentially causing the issue we want to avoid. So special
case the requeue re-run of the queue, but improve it to offload
the entire run of local queue and starved queue from a single
workqueue callback. This is a lot better than potentially
kicking off a workqueue run for each device seen.
This also fixes the issue of the local device going into recursion,
since the above mentioned commit never moved that queue run out
of line.

This just adds the refcount and the new registration lock logic. It
does not (for example) actually change the read/write/ioctl routines to
actually use the frame buffer that was opened: those function still end
up alway susing whatever the current frame buffer is at the time of the
call.
Without this, if something holds the frame buffer open over a
framebuffer switch, the close() operation after the switch will access a
fb_info that has been free'd by the unregistering of the old frame
buffer.
(The read/write/ioctl operations will normally not cause problems,
because they will - illogically - pick up the new fbcon instead. But a
switch that happens just as one of those is going on might see problems
too, the window is just much smaller: one individual op rather than the
whole open-close sequence.)
This use-after-free is apparently fairly easily triggered by the Ubuntu
11.04 boot sequence.

As it is, we assign the outer modes output function to the dst entry
when we create the xfrm bundle. This leads to two problems on interfamily
scenarios. We might insert ipv4 packets into ip6_fragment when called
from xfrm6_output. The system crashes if we try to fragment an ipv4
packet with ip6_fragment. This issue was introduced with git commit
ad0081e4 (ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets
as needed). The second issue is, that we might insert ipv4 packets in
netfilter6 and vice versa on interfamily scenarios.
With this patch we assign the inner mode output function to the dst entry
when we create the xfrm bundle. So xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output from the inner
mode is used and the right fragmentation and netfilter functions are called.
We switch then to outer mode with the output_finish functions.

DESCRIPTION
This patch tries to restore the initial init and cleanup
sequences that was before namspace patch.
Netns also requires action when net devices unregister
which has never been implemented. I.e this patch also
covers when a device moves into a network namespace,
and has to be released.
IMPLEMENTATION
The number of calls to register_pernet_device have been
reduced to one for the ip_vs.ko
Schedulers still have their own calls.
This patch adds a function __ip_vs_service_cleanup()
and an enable flag for the netfilter hooks.
The nf hooks will be enabled when the first service is loaded
and never disabled again, except when a namespace exit starts.

when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch.

The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it
actually needs the irq-safe one.
That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b'
instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do
not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation
code.
And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic
code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any
protection against interrupts or preemption. Which definitely doesn't
work for SLUB.
This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw
instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty
much everything under the sun. Most big Linux distributions tend to
compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem.
This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions
to use 'bool' like they should.
[ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just
sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to
use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with. So we should probably just remove
the unprotected version entirely as pointless. - Linus ]
