PG_head_mask was added into VMCOREINFO to filter huge pages in b3acc56bfe
("kexec: save PG_head_mask in VMCOREINFO"), but makedumpfile still need
another symbol to filter *hugetlbfs* pages.
If a user hope to filter user pages, makedumpfile tries to exclude them by
checking the condition whether the page is anonymous, but hugetlbfs pages
aren't anonymous while they also be user pages.
We know it's possible to detect them in the same way as PageHuge(),
so we need the start address of free_huge_page():
int PageHuge(struct page *page)
{
if (!PageCompound(page))
return 0;
page = compound_head(page);
return get_compound_page_dtor(page) == free_huge_page;
}
For that reason, this patch changes free_huge_page() into public
to export it to VMCOREINFO.

During suspend we call sched_clock_poll() to update the epoch and
accumulated time and reprogram the sched_clock_timer to fire
before the next wrap-around time. Unfortunately,
sched_clock_poll() doesn't restart the timer, instead it relies
on the hrtimer layer to do that and during suspend we aren't
calling that function from the hrtimer layer. Instead, we're
reprogramming the expires time while the hrtimer is enqueued,
which can cause the hrtimer tree to be corrupted. Furthermore, we
restart the timer during suspend but we update the epoch during
resume which seems counter-intuitive.
Let's fix this by saving the accumulated state and canceling the
timer during suspend. On resume we can update the epoch and
restart the timer similar to what we would do if we were starting
the clock for the first time.

The "uptime" trace clock added in:
commit 8aacf017b0
tracing: Add "uptime" trace clock that uses jiffies
has wraparound problems when the system has been up more
than 1 hour 11 minutes and 34 seconds. It converts jiffies
to nanoseconds using:
(u64)jiffies_to_usecs(jiffy) * 1000ULL
but since jiffies_to_usecs() only returns a 32-bit value, it
truncates at 2^32 microseconds. An additional problem on 32-bit
systems is that the argument is "unsigned long", so fixing the
return value only helps until 2^32 jiffies (49.7 days on a HZ=1000
system).
Avoid these problems by using jiffies_64 as our basis, and
not converting to nanoseconds (we do convert to clock_t because
user facing API must not be dependent on internal kernel
HZ values).

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"A few more fixes for ftrace infrastructure.
I was cleaning out my INBOX and found two fixes from zhangwei from a
year ago that were lost in my mail. These fix an inconsistency
between trace_puts() and the way trace_printk() works. The reason
this is important to fix is because when trace_printk() doesn't have
any arguments, it turns into a trace_puts(). Not being able to enable
a stack trace against trace_printk() because it does not have any
arguments is quite confusing. Also, the fix is rather trivial and low
risk.
While porting some changes to PowerPC I discovered that it still has
the function graph tracer filter bug that if you also enable stack
tracing the function graph tracer filter is ignored. I fixed that up.
Finally, Martin Lau, fixed a bug that would cause readers of the
ftrace ring buffer to block forever even though it was suppose to be
NONBLOCK"
This also includes the fix from an earlier pull request:

tracing instance, sets up a filter in an event, and then removes that
instance. The filter allocates memory that is never freed when the
instance is destroyed"

There are two definitions of struct rw_semaphore, one in linux/rwsem.h
and one in linux/rwsem-spinlock.h.
For some reason they have different names for the initial field. This
makes it impossible to use C99 named initialization for
__RWSEM_INITIALIZER() -- or we have to duplicate that entire thing
along with the structure definitions.
The simpler patch is renaming the rwsem-spinlock variant to match the
regular rwsem.
This allows us to switch to C99 named initialization.

Commit 4fc828e24c ("locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning")
introduced a major performance regression for workloads such as
xfs_repair which mix read and write locking of the mmap_sem across
many threads. The result was xfs_repair ran 5x slower on 3.16-rc2
than on 3.15 and using 20x more system CPU time.
Perf profiles indicate in some workloads that significant time can
be spent spinning on !owner. This is because we don't set the lock
owner when readers(s) obtain the rwsem.
In this patch, we'll modify rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() such that we'll
return false if there is no lock owner. The rationale is that if we
just entered the slowpath, yet there is no lock owner, then there is
a possibility that a reader has the lock. To be conservative, we'll
avoid spinning in these situations.
This patch reduced the total run time of the xfs_repair workload from
about 4 minutes 24 seconds down to approximately 1 minute 26 seconds,
back to close to the same performance as on 3.15.
Retesting of AIM7, which were some of the workloads used to test the
original optimistic spinning code, confirmed that we still get big
performance gains with optimistic spinning, even with this additional
regression fix. Davidlohr found that while the 'custom' workload took
a performance hit of ~-14% to throughput for >300 users with this
additional patch, the overall gain with optimistic spinning is
still ~+45%. The 'disk' workload even improved by ~+15% at >1000 users.
