Pull block IO fixes from Jens Axboe:
"After merge window, no new stuff this time only a collection of neatly
confined and simple fixes"* 'for-3.12/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
cfq: explicitly use 64bit divide operation for 64bit arguments
block: Add nr_bios to block_rq_remap tracepoint
If the queue is dying then we only call the rq->end_io callout. This leaves bios setup on the request, because the caller assumes when the blk_execute_rq_nowait/blk_execute_rq call has completed that the rq->bios have been cleaned up.
bio-integrity: Fix use of bs->bio_integrity_pool after free
blkcg: relocate root_blkg setting and clearing
block: Convert kmalloc_node(...GFP_ZERO...) to kzalloc_node(...)
block: trace all devices plug operation -

Adding the number of bios in a remapped request to 'block_rq_remap'
tracepoint.Request remapper clones bios in a request to track the completion
status of each bio. So the number of bios can be useful information
for investigation.Related discussions:

Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
"This is against 3.11-rc7, but was pulled and tested against your tree
as of yesterday. We do have two small incrementals queued up, but I
wanted to get this bunch out the door before I hop on an airplane.This is a fairly large batch of fixes, performance improvements, and
cleanups from the usual Btrfs suspects.We've included Stefan Behren's work to index subvolume UUIDs, which is
targeted at speeding up send/receive with many subvolumes or snapshots
in place. It closes a long standing performance issue that was built
in to the disk format.Mark Fasheh's offline dedup work is also here. In this case offline
means the FS is mounted and active, but the dedup work is not done
inline during file IO. This is a building block where utilities are
able to ask the FS to dedup a series of extents. The kernel takes
care of verifying the data involved really is the same. Today this
involves reading both extents, but we'll continue to evolve the
patches"* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: (118 commits)

In the current code, the value of fallback_migratetype that is printed
using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint, is the value of the
migratetype *after* it has been set to the preferred migratetype (if the
ownership was changed). Obviously that wouldn't have been the original
intent. (We already have a separate 'change_ownership' field to tell
whether the ownership of the pageblock was changed from the
fallback_migratetype to the preferred type.)The intent of the fallback_migratetype field is to show the migratetype
from which we borrowed pages in order to satisfy the allocation request.
So fix the code to print that value correctly.Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat

Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
"Highlights include:- Fix NFSv4 recovery so that it doesn't recover lost locks in cases
such as lease loss due to a network partition, where doing so may
result in data corruption. Add a kernel parameter to control
choice of legacy behaviour or not.
- Performance improvements when 2 processes are writing to the same
file.
- Flush data to disk when an RPCSEC_GSS session timeout is imminent.
- Implement NFSv4.1 SP4_MACH_CRED state protection to prevent other
NFS clients from being able to manipulate our lease and file
locking state.
- Allow sharing of RPCSEC_GSS caches between different rpc clients.

server.
- Fix rmdir() to wait for outstanding sillyrename unlinks to complete

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"New features for 3.12:- Added aggressive extent caching using the extent status tree. This
can actually decrease memory usage in read-mostly workloads since
the information is much more compactly stored in the extent status
tree than if we had to keep the extent tree metadata blocks in the
buffer cache. This also improves Asynchronous I/O since it is it
makes much less likely that we need to do metadata I/O to lookup
the extent tree information.- Improve the recovery after corrupted allocation bitmaps are found
when running in errors=ignore mode.Also fixed some writeback vs truncate races when using a blocksize

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"As a first remark I'd like to point out that the obsolete '-f'

has been removed from 'perf record' and related utilities. Everyone
please update muscle memory accordingly! :-)Main changes on the perf kernel side:
- Performance optimizations:
. for trace events, by Steve Rostedt.

. for Intel uncore PMUs: add filter support for QPI boxes, by Zheng Yan- Core perf events code enhancements and fixes:
. for full-nohz feature handling, by Frederic Weisbecker
. for group events, by Jiri Olsa
. for call chains, by Frederic Weisbecker
. for event stream parsing, by Adrian Hunter- New ABI details:
. Add attr->mmap2 attribute, by Stephane Eranian
. Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl to return event ID, by Jiri Olsa

. for group events, by Jiri Olsa- Documentation updates:
. for perf_event_type, by Peter ZijlstraMain changes on the perf tooling side (some of these tooling changes
utilize the above kernel side changes):- Lots of 'perf trace' enhancements:
. Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with
'perf record', by David Ahern.. Allow specifying syscalls a la strace, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Add --verbose and -o/--output options, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Support ! in -e expressions, to filter a list of syscalls,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.. Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.. Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex
syscalls, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.. Add option to analyze events in a file versus live, so that
one can do:[root@zoo ~]# perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]

. Introduce better formatting of syscall arguments, including so
far beautifiers for mmap, madvise, syscall return values,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.. Handle HUGEPAGE defines in the mmap beautifier, by David Ahern.
- 'perf report/top' enhancements:
. Do annotation using /proc/kcore and /proc/kallsyms when
available, removing the forced need for a vmlinux file kernel
assembly annotation. This also improves this use case because
vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.

After applied the commit (4a092d73), we have reduced the number of
source files that need to #include ext4_extents.h. But we can do
better.This commit defines ext4_zeroout_es() in extents.c and move
EXT_MAX_BLOCKS into ext4.h in order not to include ext4_extents.h in
indirect.c and ioctl.c. Meanwhile we just need to include this file in
extent_status.c when ES_AGGRESSIVE_TEST is defined. Otherwise, this
commit removes a duplicated declaration in trace/events/ext4.h.After applied this patch, we just need to include ext4_extents.h file
in {super,migrate,move_extents,extents}.c, and it is easy for us to

When we read in an extent tree leaf block from disk, arrange to have
all of its entries cached. In nearly all cases the in-memory
representation will be more compact than the on-disk representation in
the buffer cache, and it allows us to get the information without
having to traverse the extent tree for successive extents.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"
Reviewed-by: Zheng Liu -
Don't use an unsigned long long for the es_status flags; this requires
that we pass 64-bit values around which is painful on 32-bit systems.
Instead pass the extent status flags around using the low 4 bits of an
unsigned int, and shift them into place when we are reading or writing
es_pblk.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit(task => NULL)
make no sense if hlist_empty(head). Change perf_trace_##call()
to check ->perf_events beforehand and do nothing if it is empty.This removes the overhead for tasks without events associated
with them. For example, "perf record -e sched:sched_switch -p1"
attaches the counter(s) to the single task, but every task in
system will do perf_trace_buf_prepare/submit() just to realize
that it was not attached to this event.However, we can only do this if __task == NULL, so we also add

The next patch tries to avoid the costly perf_trace_buf_* calls
when possible but there is a problem. We can only do this if
__task == NULL, perf_tp_event(task != NULL) has the additional
code for this case.Unfortunately, TP_perf_assign/__perf_xxx which changes the default
values of __count/__task variables for perf_trace_buf_submit() is
called "too late", after we already did perf_trace_buf_prepare(),
and the optimization above can't work.So this patch simply embeds __perf_xxx() into TP_ARGS(), this way
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() can use the result of assignments hidden in
"args" right after ftrace_get_offsets_##call() which is mostly
trivial. This allows us to have the fast-path "__task != NULL"
check at the start, see the next patch.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130806160844.GA2739@redhat.com

To simplify the review of the next patches:
1. We are going to reimplent __perf_task/counter and embedd them
into TP_ARGS(). expand TRACE_EVENT(sched_stat_runtime) into
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() + DEFINE_EVENT(), this way they can use
different TP_ARGS's.2. Change perf_trace_##call() macro to do perf_fetch_caller_regs()
right before perf_trace_buf_prepare().This way it evaluates TP_ARGS() asap, the next patch explores
this fact.Note: after 87f44bbc perf_trace_buf_prepare() doesn't need
"struct pt_regs *regs", perhaps it makes sense to remove this
argument. And perhaps we can teach perf_trace_buf_submit()
to accept regs == NULL and do fetch_caller_regs(CALLER_ADDR1)
in this case.3. Cosmetic, but the typecast from "void*" buys nothing. It just
adds the noise, remove it.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130806160841.GA2736@redhat.com

All the RCU tracepoints and functions that reference char pointers do
so with just 'char *' even though they do not modify the contents of
the string itself. This will cause warnings if a const char * is used
in one of these functions.The RCU tracepoints store the pointer to the string to refer back to them
when the trace output is displayed. As this can be minutes, hours or
even days later, those strings had better be constant.This change also opens the door to allow the RCU tracepoint strings and
their addresses to be exported so that userspace tracing tools can
translate the contents of the pointers of the RCU tracepoints.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

A new trace event is added to PM events to print the time it takes to
suspend and resume a device. It generates trace messages that
include device, driver, parent information in addition to the type of

ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the
function.Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called
"traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any
WARN_ON() is triggered. This is useful if you want to debug what
caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the

Andrew Perepechko reported a problem whereby pages are being prematurely
evicted as the mark_page_accessed() hint is ignored for pages that are
currently on a pagevec --
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg37340.html .Alexey Lyahkov and Robin Dong have also reported problems recently that
could be due to hot pages reaching the end of the inactive list too
quickly and be reclaimed.Rather than addressing this on a per-filesystem basis, this series aims
to fix the mark_page_accessed() interface by deferring what LRU a page
is added to pagevec drain time and allowing mark_page_accessed() to call
SetPageActive on a pagevec page.Patch 1 adds two tracepoints for LRU page activation and insertion. Using
these processes it's possible to build a model of pages in the
LRU that can be processed offline.Patch 2 defers making the decision on what LRU to add a page to until when
the pagevec is drained.Patch 3 searches the local pagevec for pages to mark PageActive on
mark_page_accessed. The changelog explains why only the local
pagevec is examined.Patches 4 and 5 tidy up the API.
postmark, a dd-based test and fs-mark both single and threaded mode were
run but none of them showed any performance degradation or gain as a
result of the patch.Using patch 1, I built a *very* basic model of the LRU to examine
offline what the average age of different page types on the LRU were in
milliseconds. Of course, capturing the trace distorts the test as it's
written to local disk but it does not matter for the purposes of this
test. The average age of pages in milliseconds werevanilla deferdrain
Average age mapped anon: 1454 1250
Average age mapped file: 127841 155552
Average age unmapped anon: 85 235
Average age unmapped file: 73633 38884
Average age unmapped buffers: 74054 116155The LRU activity was mostly files which you'd expect for a dd-based
workload. Note that the average age of buffer pages is increased by the
series and it is expected this is due to the fact that the buffer pages
are now getting added to the active list when drained from the pagevecs.
Note that the average age of the unmapped file data is decreased as they
are still added to the inactive list and are reclaimed before the
buffers.There is no guarantee this is a universal win for all workloads and it
would be nice if the filesystem people gave some thought as to whether
this decision is generally a win or a loss.This patch:
Using these tracepoints it is possible to model LRU activity and the
average residency of pages of different types. This can be used to
debug problems related to premature reclaim of pages of particular
types.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
remains the most active patch submitter.To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code. Next are the
freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
tasks a bit less heavy weight.We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
and a bunch of cleanups all over.Highlights:
- Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.
It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely. For example,
if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
hot-removal. Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
alternative and it had to be addressed.However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
processor driver. It's been split into two parts, a resident one
handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
processors). That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
patient who's riding a bike.So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
(a month ago), nobody has complained.As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
code.- Lighter weight freezing of tasks.
These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
operation. They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
to call refrigerator(). The time needed for the freezer to decide
to report a failure is reduced too.Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).- cpufreq updates
First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume. The
fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
has identified the root cause.Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
related_cpus. From Lan Tianyu.Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
up some code. The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.- ACPICA update
A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.
During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
to use them without checking that bit. That caused suspend/resume
regressions to happen on some systems. Fix from Lv Zheng causes
those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
Zhang Rui.- cpuidle updates
New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.
Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
Lezcano.- ACPI power management updates
Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
routine.- ACPI documentation updates
Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
updated by Hanjun Guo.- Assorted ACPI updates
We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
reverting commit 9f29ab11ddbf ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
the core.A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
fixed on some systems.A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
Mika Westerberg.The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value. From
Jeff Wu.Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
Kani.- Assorted power management updates
The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call
rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
necessary any more after that modification).The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
the "runtime idle" behavior change).New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
().PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.
Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.- devfreq updates

Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown:
"A small but useful set of regmap updates this time around:- An abstraction for bitfields within a register map contributed by
Srinivas Kandagatla, allowing drivers to cope more easily when
hardware designers randomly move things about (mainly when talking
to things like system controllers).- Changes from Lars-Peter Clausen to allow the MMIO regmap to be used
from hard IRQ context.- Small improvements to the cache infrastructure and performance,
including a default cache sync operation so now all regmaps can
sync easily.There's also a pinctrl driver making use of the new bitfield API,
merged here for dependency reasons. There will be a simple add/add
conflict with the pinctrl tree as a result."* tag 'regmap-v3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap:
pinctrl: st: Remove unnecessary use of of_match_ptr macro

Pull x86 tracing updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds IRQ vector tracepoints that are named after the handler
and which output the vector #, based on a zero-overhead approach that
relies on changing the IDT entries, by Seiji Aguchi.The new tracepoints look like this:
