* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from linux/utsname.h -- not needed after kref conversion * remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related headers and files alone.

About every callchains recorded with perf record are filled up
including the internal perfcounter nmi frame:
perf_callchain
perf_counter_overflow
intel_pmu_handle_irq
perf_counter_nmi_handler
notifier_call_chain
atomic_notifier_call_chain
notify_die
do_nmi
nmi
We want ignore this frame as it's not interesting for
instrumentation. To solve this, we simply ignore every frames
from nmi context.

Impact: better dumpstack output
I noticed in my crash dumps and even in the stack tracer that a
lot of functions listed in the stack trace are simply
return_to_handler which is ftrace graphs way to insert its own
call into the return of a function.
But we lose out where the actually function was called from.
This patch adds in hooks to the dumpstack mechanism that detects
this and finds the real function to print. Both are printed to
let the user know that a hook is still in place.
This does give a funny side effect in the stack tracer output:
Depth Size Location (80 entries)
----- ---- --------
0) 4144 48 save_stack_trace+0x2f/0x4d
1) 4096 128 ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b
2) 3968 16 mempool_alloc_slab+0x16/0x18
3) 3952 384 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
4) 3568 -240 stack_trace_call+0x11d/0x209
5) 3808 144 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
6) 3664 -128 mempool_alloc+0x4d/0xfe
7) 3792 128 return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
8) 3664 -32 scsi_sg_alloc+0x48/0x4a [scsi_mod]
As you can see, the real functions are now negative. This is due
to them not being found inside the stack.

Impact: cleanup As promised, now that dumpstack_32 and dumpstack_64 have so many bits in common, we should merge the in-sync bits into a common file, to prevent them from diverging again. This patch removes bits which are common between dumpstack_32.c and dumpstack_64.c and places them in a common dumpstack.c which is built for both 32 and 64 bit arches.

Make i386's die() equal to x86_64's version. Whitespace-only changes on x86_64, to make it equal to i386's version. (user_mode and user_mode_vm are equal on x86_64.)

oops_begin/oops_end should always be used in pairs. On x86_64 oops_begin increments die_nest_count, and oops_end decrements die_nest_count. Doing this makes oops_begin and oops_end equal to the x86_64 versions.

Always call oops_exit from oops_end, even if signr==0. Also, move add_taint(TAINT_DIE) from __die to oops_end on x86_64 and interchange two lines to make oops_end more similar to the i386-version.

Change oops_end such that signr=0 signals that do_exit is not to be called. Currently, each use of __die is soon followed by a call to oops_end and 'regs' is set to NULL if oops_end is expected not to call do_exit. Change all such pairs to set signr=0 instead. On x86_64 oops_end is used 'bare' in die_nmi; use signr=0 instead of regs=NULL there, too.
