2011-05-22perf tools: Move evlist sample helpers to evlist areaFrederic Weisbecker
These APIs should belong to evlist.c as they may not be exclusively tied to the headers.

2011-05-22perf tools: Remove junk code in mmap size handlingFrederic Weisbecker
size is overriden later and used only then. Those lines are only junk, probably a leftover.

2011-05-22perf tools: Check we are able to read the event size on mmapFrederic Weisbecker
Check we have enough mmaped space to read the current event size from its headers, otherwise we may dereference some hell there.

2011-05-20sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usageLinus Torvalds
Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather obscure header file dependency. So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h> inclusion, or have it despite not needing it. There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets many core ones.

2011-05-20ktest: Allow options to be used by other optionsSteven Rostedt
There are cases where one ktest option may be used within another ktest option. Allow them to be reused just like config variables but there are evaluated at time of test not config processing time. Thus having something like: MAKE_CMD = make ARCH=${ARCH} TEST_START ARCH = powerpc TEST_START ARCH = arm Will have the arch defined for each test iteration. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: Create variables for the ktest config filesSteven Rostedt
I found that I constantly reuse information for each test case. It would be nice to just define a variable to reuse. For example I may have: TEST_START [...] TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script TEST_START [...] TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script [etc] The issue is, I may wont to change that script or one of the other fields. Then I need to update each line individually. With the addition of config variables (variables only used during parsing the config) we can simplify the config files. These variables can also be defined multiple times and each time the new value will overwrite the old value. The convention to use a config variable over a ktest option is to use := instead of =. Now we could do: USER := root TARGET := mybox TEST_SCRIPT := /path/to/my/script TEST_CASE := ${USER}@${TARGET} ${TEST_SCRIPT} TEST_START [...] TEST = ${TEST_CASE} TEST_START [...] TEST = ${TEST_CASE} [etc] Now we just need to update the variables at the top.

2011-05-20ktest: Reboot after each patchcheck runSteven Rostedt
The patches being checked may not leave the kernel in a state that the next run will allow the new kernel to be copied to the machine. Reboot to a known good kernel before continuing to the next kernel to test. Added option PATCHCHECK_SLEEP_TIME for the max time to sleep between patchcheck reboots. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: Reboot to good kernel after every bisect runSteven Rostedt
Reboot after each bisect run regardless if the bisect passed or failed. The test may just be to boot the kernel and that kernel may not have a way to copy the next kerne to it. Reboot to a known good kernel after each bisect run. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: If test failed due to timeout, print thatSteven Rostedt
If the test failed due to timeout for boot, print a message saying so. Otherwise the user will be confused to why their test just failed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: Fix post install commandSteven Rostedt
The command to run post install (for those that want initrds) was broken. Instead of doing a substitution for the $KERNEL_VERSION variable. It was replacing the entire command with nothing. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2011-05-05rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthreadPaul E. McKenney
If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM. But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily. Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
