mutex: Fix optimistic spinning vs. BKL
Commit 756dee75872a2a764b478e18076360b8a4ec9045 ("SLUB: Get rid of dynamic DMA
kmalloc cache allocation") makes S390 run out of kmalloc caches. Increase the
number of kmalloc caches to a safe size.

perf tui: Fix last use_browser problem related to .perfconfig

Currently, we can hit a nasty case with optimistic
spinning on mutexes:
CPU A tries to take a mutex, while holding the BKL
CPU B tried to take the BLK while holding the mutex
This looks like a AB-BA scenario but in practice, is
allowed and happens due to the auto-release on
schedule() nature of the BKL.
In that case, the optimistic spinning code can get us
into a situation where instead of going to sleep, A
will spin waiting for B who is spinning waiting for
A, and the only way out of that loop is the
need_resched() test in mutex_spin_on_owner().
This patch fixes it by completely disabling spinning
if we own the BKL. This adds one more detail to the
extensive list of reasons why it's a bad idea for
kernel code to be holding the BKL.

This patch is meant to improve the performance of SLUB by moving the local
kmem_cache_node lock into it's own cacheline separate from kmem_cache.
This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled.
On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/
hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average. I
suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes
increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.

This partially reverts commit 4ec37de89d8c758ee8115e0e64b3f994910789ee
("[IA64] Fix build breakage"), since the commit that made it necessary
got reverted earlier (see commit 35926ff5fba8, 'Revert "cpusets:
randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()"')
Even if we ever re-introduce this, there is no reason to make
__node_random be some architecture-specific function.

When we moved to using ~/.perfconfig to set the value of use_browser,
it changed from a boolean to an int so that the convention used for
use_pager was followed.
That convention is:
-1: unspecified, that is what use_{browser,pager} is initialized
0: Don't use the browser (should be TUI), because was explicitely
set to 0/off/false on ~/.perfconfig [tui] cmd =, or because
we're redirecting the stdout to a file or piping it to some
other command (!isatty()).
1: Use the TUI
Some code was not properly audited and continued testing it as a
boolean, this seems to be the last one.

Currently the trace splice code zeros out the excess bytes in the page before
sending it off to userspace.
This is to make sure userspace is not getting anything it should not be
when reading the pages, because the excess data was never initialized
to zero before writing (for perfomance reasons).
But the splice code has no business in doing this work, it should be
done by the ring buffer. With the latest changes for recording lost
events, the splice code gets it wrong anyway.
Move the zeroing out of excess bytes into the ring buffer code.

The code to store the "lost events" requires knowing the real end
of the page. Since the 'commit' includes the padding at the end of
a page a "real_end" variable was used to keep track of the end not
including the padding.
If events were lost, the reader can place the count of events in
the padded area if there is enough room.
The bug this patch fixes is that when we fill the page we do not
reset the real_end variable, and if the writer had wrapped a few
times, the real_end would be incorrect.
This patch simply resets the real_end if the page was filled.

Allow userspace filesystem implementation to use splice() to read from
the fuse device.
The userspace filesystem can now transfer data coming from a WRITE
request to an arbitrary file descriptor (regular file, block device or
socket) without having to go through a userspace buffer.
The semantics of using splice() to read messages are:
1) with a single splice() call move the whole message from the fuse
device to a temporary pipe
2) read the header from the pipe and determine the message type
3a) if message is a WRITE then splice data from pipe to destination
3b) else read rest of message to userspace buffer

x86: Avoid check hlt for newer cpus
While testing an application using the xpmem (out of kernel) driver, we
noticed a significant page fault rate reduction of x86_64 with respect
to ia64. For one test running with 32 cpus, one thread per cpu, it
took 01:08 for each of the threads to vm_insert_pfn 2GB worth of pages.
For the same test running on 256 cpus, one thread per cpu, it took 14:48
to vm_insert_pfn 2 GB worth of pages.
The slowdown was tracked to lookup_memtype which acquires the
spinlock memtype_lock. This heavily contended lock was slowing down
vm_insert_pfn().
With the cmpxchg on page->flags method, both the 32 cpu and 256 cpu
cases take approx 00:01.3 seconds to complete.

When splicing buffers to the fuse device with SPLICE_F_MOVE, try to
move pages from the pipe buffer into the page cache. This allows
populating the fuse filesystem's cache without ever touching the page
contents, i.e. zero copy read capability.
The following steps are performed when trying to move a page into the
page cache:
- buf->ops->confirm() to make sure the new page is uptodate
- buf->ops->steal() to try to remove the new page from it's previous place
- remove_from_page_cache() on the old page
- add_to_page_cache_locked() on the new page
If any of the above steps fail (non fatally) then the code falls back
to copying the page. In particular ->steal() will fail if there are
external references (other than the page cache and the pipe buffer) to
the page.
Also since the remove_from_page_cache() + add_to_page_cache_locked()
are non-atomic it is possible that the page cache is repopulated in
between the two and add_to_page_cache_locked() will fail. This could
be fixed by creating a new atomic replace_page_cache_page() function.
fuse_readpages_end() needed to be reworked so it works even if
page->mapping is NULL for some or all pages which can happen if the
add_to_page_cache_locked() failed.
A number of sanity checks were added to make sure the stolen pages
don't have weird flags set, etc... These could be moved into generic
splice/steal code.

IRQ-disable from perf/tracepoint interaction) made the
unfortunate mistake of assuming the world is x86 only, correct
this.
The problem was that perf_fetch_caller_regs() did
local_save_flags() into regs->flags, and I re-used that to
remove another local_save_flags(), forgetting !x86 doesn't have
regs->flags.
Do the reverse, remove the local_save_flags() from
perf_fetch_caller_regs() and let the ftrace site do the
local_save_flags() instead.

Currently, we can hit a nasty case with optimistic
spinning on mutexes:
CPU A tries to take a mutex, while holding the BKL
CPU B tried to take the BLK while holding the mutex
This looks like a AB-BA scenario but in practice, is
allowed and happens due to the auto-release on
schedule() nature of the BKL.
In that case, the optimistic spinning code can get us
into a situation where instead of going to sleep, A
will spin waiting for B who is spinning waiting for
A, and the only way out of that loop is the
need_resched() test in mutex_spin_on_owner().
This patch fixes it by completely disabling spinning
if we own the BKL. This adds one more detail to the
extensive list of reasons why it's a bad idea for
kernel code to be holding the BKL.

This patch is meant to improve the performance of SLUB by moving the local
kmem_cache_node lock into it's own cacheline separate from kmem_cache.
This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled.
On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/
hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average. I
suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes
increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.

Currently the trace splice code zeros out the excess bytes in the page before
sending it off to userspace.
This is to make sure userspace is not getting anything it should not be
when reading the pages, because the excess data was never initialized
to zero before writing (for perfomance reasons).
But the splice code has no business in doing this work, it should be
done by the ring buffer. With the latest changes for recording lost
events, the splice code gets it wrong anyway.
Move the zeroing out of excess bytes into the ring buffer code.

The code to store the "lost events" requires knowing the real end
of the page. Since the 'commit' includes the padding at the end of
a page a "real_end" variable was used to keep track of the end not
including the padding.
If events were lost, the reader can place the count of events in
the padded area if there is enough room.
The bug this patch fixes is that when we fill the page we do not
reset the real_end variable, and if the writer had wrapped a few
times, the real_end would be incorrect.
This patch simply resets the real_end if the page was filled.

Allow userspace filesystem implementation to use splice() to read from
the fuse device.
The userspace filesystem can now transfer data coming from a WRITE
request to an arbitrary file descriptor (regular file, block device or
socket) without having to go through a userspace buffer.
The semantics of using splice() to read messages are:
1) with a single splice() call move the whole message from the fuse
device to a temporary pipe
2) read the header from the pipe and determine the message type
3a) if message is a WRITE then splice data from pipe to destination
3b) else read rest of message to userspace buffer

While testing an application using the xpmem (out of kernel) driver, we
noticed a significant page fault rate reduction of x86_64 with respect
to ia64. For one test running with 32 cpus, one thread per cpu, it
took 01:08 for each of the threads to vm_insert_pfn 2GB worth of pages.
For the same test running on 256 cpus, one thread per cpu, it took 14:48
to vm_insert_pfn 2 GB worth of pages.
The slowdown was tracked to lookup_memtype which acquires the
spinlock memtype_lock. This heavily contended lock was slowing down
vm_insert_pfn().
With the cmpxchg on page->flags method, both the 32 cpu and 256 cpu
cases take approx 00:01.3 seconds to complete.

When splicing buffers to the fuse device with SPLICE_F_MOVE, try to
move pages from the pipe buffer into the page cache. This allows
populating the fuse filesystem's cache without ever touching the page
contents, i.e. zero copy read capability.
The following steps are performed when trying to move a page into the
page cache:
- buf->ops->confirm() to make sure the new page is uptodate
- buf->ops->steal() to try to remove the new page from it's previous place
- remove_from_page_cache() on the old page
- add_to_page_cache_locked() on the new page
If any of the above steps fail (non fatally) then the code falls back
to copying the page. In particular ->steal() will fail if there are
external references (other than the page cache and the pipe buffer) to
the page.
Also since the remove_from_page_cache() + add_to_page_cache_locked()
are non-atomic it is possible that the page cache is repopulated in
between the two and add_to_page_cache_locked() will fail. This could
be fixed by creating a new atomic replace_page_cache_page() function.
fuse_readpages_end() needed to be reworked so it works even if
page->mapping is NULL for some or all pages which can happen if the
add_to_page_cache_locked() failed.
A number of sanity checks were added to make sure the stolen pages
don't have weird flags set, etc... These could be moved into generic
splice/steal code.

Patch b7e2ecef92 (perf, trace: Optimize tracepoints by removing
IRQ-disable from perf/tracepoint interaction) made the
unfortunate mistake of assuming the world is x86 only, correct
this.
The problem was that perf_fetch_caller_regs() did
local_save_flags() into regs->flags, and I re-used that to
remove another local_save_flags(), forgetting !x86 doesn't have
regs->flags.
Do the reverse, remove the local_save_flags() from
perf_fetch_caller_regs() and let the ftrace site do the
local_save_flags() instead.

Moorestown does not have BIOS provided MP tables, we can save some time
by avoiding scaning of these tables. e.g.
[ 0.000000] Scan SMP from c0000000 for 1024 bytes.
[ 0.000000] Scan SMP from c009fc00 for 1024 bytes.
[ 0.000000] Scan SMP from c00f0000 for 65536 bytes.
[ 0.000000] Scan SMP from c00bfff0 for 1024 bytes.
Searching EBDA with the base at 0x40E will also result in random pointer
deferencing within 1MB. This can be a problem in Lincroft if the pointer
hits VGA area and VGA mode is not enabled.
