Impact: add new perf-counter type
The 'CPU clock' counter counts the amount of CPU clock time that is
elapsing, in nanoseconds. (regardless of how much of it the task is
spending on a CPU executing)
This counter type is a Linux kernel based abstraction, it is available
even if the hardware does not support native hardware performance counters.

Impact: restructure code, introduce hw_ops driver abstraction
Introduce this abstraction to handle counter details:
struct hw_perf_counter_ops {
void (*hw_perf_counter_enable) (struct perf_counter *counter);
void (*hw_perf_counter_disable) (struct perf_counter *counter);
void (*hw_perf_counter_read) (struct perf_counter *counter);
};
This will be useful to support assymetric hw details, and it will also
be useful to implement "software counters". (Counters that count kernel
managed sw events such as pagefaults, context-switches, wall-clock time
or task-local time.)

Impact: add group counters
This patch adds the "counter groups" abstraction.
Groups of counters behave much like normal 'single' counters, with a
few semantic and behavioral extensions on top of that.
A counter group is created by creating a new counter with the open()
syscall's group-leader group_fd file descriptor parameter pointing
to another, already existing counter.
Groups of counters are scheduled in and out in one atomic group, and
they are also roundrobin-scheduled atomically.
Counters that are member of a group can also record events with an
(atomic) extended timestamp that extends to all members of the group,
if the record type is set to PERF_RECORD_GROUP.

Impact: clean up new API
Thorough cleanup of the new perf counters API, we now get clean separation
of the various concepts:
- introduce perf_counter_hw_event to separate out the event source details
- move special type flags into separate attributes: PERF_COUNT_NMI,
PERF_COUNT_RAW
- extend the type to u64 and reserve it fully to the architecture in the
raw type case.
And make use of all these changes in the core and x86 perfcounters code.
Also change the syscall signature to:
asmlinkage int sys_perf_counter_open(
struct perf_counter_hw_event *hw_event_uptr __user,
pid_t pid,
int cpu,
int group_fd);
( Note that group_fd is unused for now - it's reserved for the counter
groups abstraction. )

Impact: fix spurious missed counter wakeups
In the case of NMI events, close a race window that can occur if an NMI
hits counter code that temporarily disables+enables a counter, and the NMI
leaks into the disabled section.

Impact: make perfcounter NMI and IRQ sequence more robust
Make __smp_perf_counter_interrupt() a bit more conservative: first disable
all counters, then read out the status. Most invocations are because there
are real events, so there's no performance impact.
Code flow gets a bit simpler as well this way.

Implement the core kernel bits of Performance Counters subsystem.
The Linux Performance Counter subsystem provides an abstraction of
performance counter hardware capabilities. It provides per task and per
CPU counters, and it provides event capabilities on top of those.
Performance counters are accessed via special file descriptors.
There's one file descriptor per virtual counter used.
The special file descriptor is opened via the perf_counter_open()
system call:
int
perf_counter_open(u32 hw_event_type,
u32 hw_event_period,
u32 record_type,
pid_t pid,
int cpu);
The syscall returns the new fd. The fd can be used via the normal
VFS system calls: read() can be used to read the counter, fcntl()
can be used to set the blocking mode, etc.
Multiple counters can be kept open at a time, and the counters
can be poll()ed.
See more details in Documentation/perf-counters.txt.

Changeset a238b790d5 (Call fasync()

file->f_flags in a state inconsistent with what the underlying
driver/filesystem believes. Revert that change, and also fix the same
races in ioctl_fioasync() and ioctl_fionbio().
This is a minimal, short-term fix; the real fix will not involve the

There's no point in having too short SG_IO timeouts, since if the
command does end up timing out, we'll end up through the reset sequence
that is several seconds long in order to abort the command that timed
out.
As a result, shorter timeouts than a few seconds simply do not make
sense, as the recovery would be longer than the timeout itself.
Add a BLK_MIN_SG_TIMEOUT to match the existign BLK_DEFAULT_SG_TIMEOUT.

This reverts commit 558073dd56, along with
the failed try to fix the regression it caused ("ACPI: Fix ACPI battery
regression introduced by commit 558073"), which just made things worse.
Commit aaad077638 (that failed "Fix ACPI
battery regression") got the voltage conversion confused, and fixed the
problem with Rafael's battery monitor apparently just by mistake.
So revert them both, getting us back to the 2.6.27 state in this, and
let's revisit it when people understand what's going on.

When project quota is active and is being used for directory tree
quota control, we disallow rename outside the current directory
tree. This requires a check to be made after all the inodes
involved in the rename are locked. We fail to unlock the inodes
correctly if we disallow the rename when the target is outside the
current directory tree. This results in a hang on the next access
to the inodes involved in failed rename.

On a 64 bit kernel if an o32 syscall was made with a syscall number less
than 4000, we would read the function from outside of the bounds of the
syscall table. This led to non-deterministic behavior including system
crashes.
While we were at it we reworked the 32 bit version as well to use fewer
instructions. Both 32 and 64 bit versions are use the same code now.
