wait_sb_inodes() currently does a walk of all inodes in the filesystem
to find dirty one to wait on during sync. This is highly inefficient
and wastes a lot of CPU when there are lots of clean cached inodes that
we don't need to wait on.To avoid this "all inode" walk, we need to track inodes that are
currently under writeback that we need to wait for. We do this by
adding inodes to a writeback list on the sb when the mapping is first
tagged as having pages under writeback. wait_sb_inodes() can then walk
this list of "inodes under IO" and wait specifically just for the inodes
that the current sync(2) needs to wait for.Define a couple helpers to add/remove an inode from the writeback list
and call them when the overall mapping is tagged for or cleared from
writeback. Update wait_sb_inodes() to walk only the inodes under
writeback due to the sync.With this change, filesystem sync times are significantly reduced for
fs' with largely populated inode caches and otherwise no other work to
do. For example, on a 16xcpu 2GHz x86-64 server, 10TB XFS filesystem
with a ~10m entry inode cache, sync times are reduced from ~7.3s to less
than 0.1s when the filesystem is fully clean.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466594593-6757-2-git-send-email-bfoster@redhat.com

These BUG_ON(!inode) are obscure because we have already used inode to
get osb. And actually we can guarantee here inode is valid in the
context. So we can safely remove them.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/5776336A.6030104@huawei.com

dlm_debug_ctxt->debug_refcnt is initialized to 1 and then increased to 2
by dlm_debug_get in dlm_debug_init. But dlm_debug_put is called only
once in dlm_debug_shutdown during unregister dlm, which leads to

Journal replay will be run when performing recovery for a dead node. To
avoid the stale cache impact, all blocks of dead node's journal inode
were reloaded from disk. This hurts the performance. Check whether one
block is cached before reloading it can improve performance a lot. In
my test env, the time doing recovery was improved from 120s to 1s.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: clean up the for loop p_blkno handling]

Before, the stack protector flag was sanity checked before .config had
been reprocessed. This meant the build couldn't be aborted early, and
only a warning could be emitted followed later by the compiler blowing
up with an unknown flag. This has caused a lot of confusion over time,
so this splits the flag selection from sanity checking and performs the
sanity checking after the make has been restarted from a reprocessed
.config, so builds can be aborted as early as possible now.Additionally moves the x86-specific sanity check to the same location,
since it suffered from the same warn-then-wait-for-compiler-failure
problem.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160712223043.GA11664@www.outflux.net

Remove the unused wrappers dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault(). After this
removal, rename __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() to dax_fault() and
dax_pmd_fault() respectively, and update all callers.The dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault() wrappers were initially intended to
capture some filesystem independent functionality around page faults
(calling sb_start_pagefault() & sb_end_pagefault(), updating file mtime
and ctime).However, the following commits:
5726b27b09cc ("ext2: Add locking for DAX faults")
ea3d7209ca01 ("ext4: fix races between page faults and hole punching")added locking to the ext2 and ext4 filesystems after these common
operations but before __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() were called.
This means that these wrappers are no longer used, and are unlikely to
be used in the future.XFS has had locking analogous to what was recently added to ext2 and
ext4 since DAX support was initially introduced by:6b698edeeef0 ("xfs: add DAX file operations support")

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but none of the allocation which uses this
flag is for more than order-2. This means that this flag has never been
actually useful here because it has always been used only for

sched/fair: Fix the wrong throttled clock time for cfs_rq_clock_task() -
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work
concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).The main kernel side enhancements were:
- Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to
tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were
requested:$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e.
this becomes possible:$ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a
allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.
This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving
another u16 for future use.There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further
discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack
introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left
is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)- Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery
(Kan Liang)- Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch
work) (Dave Hansen)- Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)
- Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)
- ... other misc changes.
Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's
much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):- Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf'
perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another
machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for
instance, to do:$ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf
on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)- Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via
sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1)
(Wang Nan)- Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)- Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)
- Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language
(David Tolnay)- Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an
example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events,
tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)- Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection
in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences
when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)- Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT
call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter,
Andi Kleen)- Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing
eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)- Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo
Bonzini)- Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)- Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the
kernel (Andi Kleen)"* 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (303 commits)

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The locking tree was busier in this cycle than the usual pattern - a
couple of major projects happened to coincide.The main changes are:

across all SMP architectures (Peter Zijlstra)- add atomic_fetch_{inc/dec}() as well, using the generic primitives
(Davidlohr Bueso)- optimize various aspects of rwsems (Jason Low, Davidlohr Bueso,
Waiman Long)- optimize smp_cond_load_acquire() on arm64 and implement LSE based
