c72bb31691 The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes that
were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have been
 marked for stable.
 
 As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about.
 These include:
 
 New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
 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 ring buffer overwriting the
 data before you can disable it. There's also a kernel command line
 option that will make this enabled at boot up called the same thing.

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

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 9f29ab11dd ("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
     (<keun-o.park@windriver.com>).

     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

     New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan.

     Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham,
     Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun.

   - OMAP power management updates

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
  custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
  changes necessary at this point.

  The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
  per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
  param whose default can be configured via a config option.  This leads
  to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
  bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
  certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
  big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.

  This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
  perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
  them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
  less effective.

  Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
  configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
  automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
  workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
  configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

de7edd3145 tracing: Disable tracing on warning
Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well
as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause
the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the
ring buffer.

This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When
a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with
the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the
resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse,
by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

966fbe193f libata: Add atapi_dmadir force flag
Some device require DMADIR to be enabled, but are not detected as such
by atapi_id_dmadir.  One such example is "Asus Serillel 2"
SATA-host-to-PATA-device bridge: the bridge itself requires DMADIR,
even if the bridged device does not.

As atapi_dmadir module parameter can cause problems with some devices
(as per Tejun Heo's memory), enabling it globally may not be possible
depending on the hardware.

This patch adds atapi_dmadir in the form of a "force" horkage value,
allowing global, per-bus and per-device control.

cee22a1505 workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues
Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.

Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system.  To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.

tj: Updated config description and comments.  Renamed
    CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

534c97b095 Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
  kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
  or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.

  This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
  idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
  reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.

  This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
  the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
  that:

   - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
     to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power.  A periodic timer tick at
     HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%.  This feature
     removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
     typical distro configs even on modern systems.

   - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
     should experience as little jitter as possible.  The last remaining
     source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.

   - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
     especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
     helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.

  The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
  reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
  slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.

  Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
  two NOHZ kconfig modes:

   - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
     as a config option.  This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
     design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
     whether a CPU is idle or not.

   - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
     periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.

   - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
     tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
     timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
     CPU.

  The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
  CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
  user having to configure anything.  CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
  default.

  This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
  steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
  and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.

  This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature.  The pull
  request is marked RFC because:

   - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
     small but did not get ready in time.

   - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
     window.  The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
     merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
     marked it RFC.

   - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
     while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
     combination is still not very widely used.  That it's default-off
     should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
     known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.

   - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
     equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick.  In
     particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
     on scheduler load-balancing and statistics.  This should not impact
     correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
     feature at this point.

   - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
     enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
     its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
     Without flaming us to crisp! :-)

  Future plans:

   - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
     the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
     CPU.  We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
     for the 0 Hz target though.

   - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
     nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
     as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
     once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.

  I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
  v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
  but the final word is up to you as usual.

Linus Torvalds
46d9be3e5e Merge branch 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on workqueue side this time.  The changes achieve
  the followings.

   - WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
     updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
     This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
     neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.

   - The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
     used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
     Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
     affinity.  It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
     future.  The attributes can be specified either by calling
     apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
     the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.

     The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
     shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes.  When
     attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
     worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
     items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
     alone.

     This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
     want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues.  The writeback pool
     is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
     are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.

   - WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
     to make it NUMA-aware.  Because there's no association between work
     item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
     this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
     bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
     to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.

     After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
     NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
     the same node.  This is turned on by default but can be disabled
     system-wide or for individual workqueues.

     Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
     different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
     per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
     be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
     idle cycles.

  While the new features required a lot of changes including
  restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
  The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
  new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
  different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
  execution or flush paths.

  As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
  relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
  basic correctness of work item execution and handling.  If something
  is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
  with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
  changed or during CPU hotplug.

  While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
  more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
  combinations of attributes.  Assuming everything else is the same,
  NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
  CPUs.

  There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
  workqueue tree.

   - block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
     pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
     exposed.  This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
     NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.

   - The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
     between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
     they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
     backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted.  This is
     resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
     printed when the task is dumped.  As this change involves unifying
     implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
     being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."

9e8529afc4 Tracing updates for Linux 3.10
Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
 changes with this pull request.
 
 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
 
 This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
 I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally
 had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple
 instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different
 buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise
 of a high frequency event.
 
 Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
 (ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
 be written to the main buffer.
 
 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
 
 The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
 function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
 stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
 buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
 an event to be traced when a function is hit.
 
 3) A perf clock has been added.
 
 A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
 ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make
 it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis.

This is primarily useful when there's a driver that doesn't claim clocks
properly, but the bootloader leaves them on. It's not expected to be used
in normal cases, but for bringup and debug it's very useful to have the
option to not gate unclaimed clocks that are still on.

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support

  in many places.)

  After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
  but of course it is now very late in the cycle.  However, because it
  changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
  would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken
  interfaces."

d1e43fa5f8 nohz: Ensure full dynticks CPUs are RCU nocbs
We need full dynticks CPU to also be RCU nocb so
that we don't have to keep the tick to handle RCU
callbacks.

Make sure the range passed to nohz_full= boot
parameter is a subset of rcu_nocbs=

The CPUs that fail to meet this requirement will be
excluded from the nohz_full range. This is checked
early in boot time, before any CPU has the opportunity
to stop its tick.

0453b435df nohz: Force boot CPU outside full dynticks range
The timekeeping job must be able to run early on boot
because there may be some pre-SMP (and thus pre-initcalls )
components that rely on it. The IO-APIC is one such users
as it tests the timer health by watching jiffies progression.

Given that it happens before we know the initial online
set, we can't rely on it to select a timekeeper. We need
one before SMP time otherwise we simply crash on boot.

To fix this and keep things simple for now, force the boot CPU
outside of the full dynticks range in any case and do this early
on kernel parameter parsing time.

We might want a trickier solution later, expecially for aSMP
architectures that need to assign housekeeping tasks to arbitrary
low power CPUs.

But it's still first pass KISS time for now.

c729de8fce x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically
Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8
without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump.
And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make
kdump work.

We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if
available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user
does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y.  This causes regression
if iommu is not enabled.  Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in
first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel.

Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that.

For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could
specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram.

-v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad.

on da8xx. The patch uses CMA-based reservation of physical
memory block for DSP use. A new kernel command-line parameter
has been added to allow boot-time specification of the physical
memory block.

c5bfece2d6 nohz: Switch from "extended nohz" to "full nohz" based naming
"Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks
API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries
to stop the tick in more places than just idle.

But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to
"full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this
config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various
constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered
as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical
issues that may be solved in the future.

Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and
Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt contain virtually
identical text describing earlyprintk.

This consolidates the two copies and updates the documentation a
bit.  No one ever documented the:

syntax, nor mentioned that ARM is now a supported earlyprintk

d55262c4d1 workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity
Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware.  Let's add some control knobs
and update sysfs interface accordingly.

* Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
  globally.

* Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
  node:pool_id pairs.  This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
  hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.

* Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
  individual workqueues.  This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
  is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes.  It only
  affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.

After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.
Removed.

c0f4dfd4f9 rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks
Because RCU callbacks are now associated with the number of the grace
period that they must wait for, CPUs can now take advance callbacks
corresponding to grace periods that ended while a given CPU was in
dyntick-idle mode.  This eliminates the need to try forcing the RCU
state machine while entering idle, thus reducing the CPU intensiveness
of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, which should increase its energy efficiency.

a488985851 rcu: Distinguish "rcuo" kthreads by RCU flavor
Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by
the CPU number, for example, "rcuo".  This is problematic given that
there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU
kthread with exactly the same name.  This commit therefore introduces
a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh,
'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched.  This abbreviation is used
to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have
"rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0".

a831881be2 nohz: Basic full dynticks interface
For extreme usecases such as Real Time or HPC, having
the ability to shutdown the tick when a single task runs
on a CPU is a desired feature:

* Reducing the amount of interrupts improves throughput
for CPU-bound tasks. The CPU is less distracted from its
real job, from an execution time and from the cache point
of views.

* This also improve latency response as we have less critical
sections.

Start with introducing a very simple interface to define
full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask
through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that
are part of this range will have their tick shutdown
whenever possible: provided they run a single task and
they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic
tick. These details will be later documented in
Documentation/*

An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the
timekeeping.

55034cd6e6 tracing: Add alloc_snapshot kernel command line parameter
If debugging the kernel, and the developer wants to use
tracing_snapshot() in places where tracing_snapshot_alloc() may
be difficult (or more likely, the developer is lazy and doesn't
want to bother with tracing_snapshot_alloc() at all), then adding

  alloc_snapshot

to the kernel command line parameter will tell ftrace to allocate
the snapshot buffer (if configured) when it allocates the main
tracing buffer.

I also noticed that ring_buffer_expanded and tracing_selftest_disabled
had inconsistent use of boolean "true" and "false" with "0" and "1".
I cleaned that up too.

Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
commit e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
is ready")

It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things

1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
	nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
	memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
   can not be just removed.  Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
   and make fall back path working.

2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
   a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
   b.  for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
	     set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
     still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
     it should be moved before that....
   c.  it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
       early before override from INITRD is settled.

3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
   but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
   pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
   be routed via tip/x86/mm.

4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
  a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
  b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
  c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
	anymore.
  d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
  e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
     not good.

If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
node.

We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
be fixed.

So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:

 f7210e6c4a ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
    protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")

 01a178a94e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
    SRAT")

 27168d38fa ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
    the end of node")

 e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is
    ready")

 fb06bc8e5f ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map")

 42f47e27e7 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")

 6981ec3114 ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
    movable limit for nodes")

 34b71f1e04 ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")

 4d59a75125 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")

Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0.  Also
need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.
