Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)

2012-06-01T01:10:18+00:00

Merge misc patches from Andrew Morton:

 - the "misc" tree - stuff from all over the map

 - checkpatch updates

 - fatfs

 - kmod changes

 - procfs

 - cpumask

 - UML

 - kexec

 - mqueue

 - rapidio

 - pidns

 - some checkpoint-restore feature work.  Reluctantly.  Most of it
   delayed a release.  I'm still rather worried that we don't have a
   clear roadmap to completion for this work.

syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscall

2012-06-01T00:49:32+00:00

While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine
whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are
shared between tasks and restore this state.

The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the
unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one.

One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g.  mm_struct is to
provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such
info considered to be not that good for security reasons.

Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named
'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate.  So here is it --
__NR_kcmp.

It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which
characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of
comparison of files) two file descriptors.

Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only.

At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

tools/selftests: add mq_perf_tests

2012-06-01T00:49:31+00:00

Add the mq_perf_tests tool I used when creating my mq performance patch.
Also add a local .gitignore to keep the binaries from showing up in git
status output.

selftests: add mq_open_tests

2012-06-01T00:49:31+00:00

Add a directory to house POSIX message queue subsystem specific tests.
Add first test which checks the operation of mq_open() under various
corner conditions.

perf ui browser: Stop using 'self'

2012-05-30T01:42:18+00:00

Stop using this python/OOP convention, doesn't really helps. Will do
more from time to time till we get it cleaned up in all of /perf.

perf annotate browser: Read perf config file for settings

2012-05-30T01:06:30+00:00

The defaults are:

[annotate]

	hide_src_code = false
	use_offset = true
	jump_arrows = true
	show_nr_jumps = false

perf config: Allow '_' in config file variable names

2012-05-30T00:59:02+00:00

For annotate I want to be able to have variables that are the same as
the ones representing feature toggles.

perf annotate browser: Make feature toggles global

2012-05-30T00:24:05+00:00

So that when navigating to another function from a call site or when
going to another annotation browser thru the main report/top browser the
options (hide source code, jump arrows, jumpy lines, etc) remains the
last ones selected.

perf annotate browser: The idx_asm field should be used in asm only view

2012-05-29T23:52:38+00:00

When hide_src_view is true we can't use browser_disasm_line->idx, that
takes into account also non asm lines, we must use browser_disasm_line->idx_asm
instead, otherwise we may end up with an index after the number of
entries, oops, fix it.
