Remove the duplicate comment of bstr_printf that is the same as the
vsnprintf.Add the 's' option to the comment for the pointer function. This is
more of an internal function so the little duplication of the comment
here is OK.Reported-by: Zhaolei

ring-buffer: only enable ring_buffer_swap_cpu when needed
broke oprofile (at least on s390, but likely on all platforms).this patch lets oprofile select RING_BUFER_ALLOW_SWAP to make
ring_buffer_swap_cpu usable for oprofile.Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

For direct function pointers (like what mcount provides) PowerPC64
requires the use of %ps, otherwise nothing is printed.This patch converts all prints of functions retrieved through mcount
to use the %ps format from the %pf.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
-
On PowerPC64 function pointers do not point directly at the functions,
but instead point to pointers to the functions. The output of %pF expects
to point to a pointer to the function, whereas %pS will show the function
itself.mcount returns the direct pointer to the function and not the pointer to
the pointer. Thus %pS must be used to show this. The function tracer
requires printing of the functions without offsets and uses the %pf
instead.%pF produces run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f
%pf produces just run_local_timersFor PowerPC64, we need to use the direct pointer, and we only have
%pS which will produce .run_local_timers+0x4/0x1fThis patch creates a %ps that matches the %pf as %pS matches %pF.

wb_clear_pending AFAIKS should not be called after the item has been
put on the list, except by the worker threads. It could lead to the
situation where the refcount is decremented below 0 and cause lots of
problems.Presumably the !wb_has_dirty_io case is not a common one, so it can
be discovered when the thread wakes up to check?Also add a comment in bdi_work_clear.

By the time bdi_work_on_stack gets evaluated again in bdi_work_free, it

If you're going to do an atomic RMW on each list entry, there's not much

We cannot safely ensure that the inodes are all gone at this point
in time, and we must not destroy this bdi with inodes having off it.
So just splice our entries to the default bdi since that one will
always persist.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for
WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback()
for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle
only WB_SYNC_NONE.Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the
parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up
the API considerably.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super()
callback. Filesystems that have their own private backing_dev_info
must assign that in ->fill_super().Note that ->s_bdi assignment is required for proper writeback!

We need to be able to pass in range_cyclic as well, so instead
of growing yet another argument, split the arguments into a
struct wb_writeback_args structure that we can use internally.
Also makes it easier to just copy all members to an on-stack
struct, since we can't access work after clearing the pending
bit.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

When ftrace had issues with NMIs, it was needed to annotate all
the areas that kprobes had issues with notrace. Now that ftrace is
