Pair the two trace events to make troubeshooting writepages
easier, and it should be more convinient to write a simple script
to parse the traces.

In the case of a storage device that suddenly disappears, or in the
case of significant file system corruption, this can result in a huge
flood of messages being sent to the console. This can overflow the
file system containing /var/log/messages, or if a serial console is
configured, this can slow down the system so much that a hardware
watchdog can end up triggering forcing a system reboot.

Commit 4e7ea81db5(ext4: restructure writeback path) introduces another
performance regression on random write:
- one more page may be added to ext4 extent in
mpage_prepare_extent_to_map, and will be submitted for I/O so
nr_to_write will become -1 before 'done' is set
- the worse thing is that dirty pages may still be retrieved from page
cache after nr_to_write becomes negative, so lots of small chunks
can be submitted to block device when page writeback is catching up
with write path, and performance is hurted.
On one arm A15 board with sata 3.0 SSD(CPU: 1.5GHz dura core, RAM:
2GB, SATA controller: 3.0Gbps), this patch can improve below test's
result from 157MB/sec to 174MB/sec(>10%):
dd if=/dev/zero of=./z.img bs=8K count=512K
The above test is actually prototype of block write in bonnie++
utility.
This patch makes sure no more pages than nr_to_write can be added to
extent for mapping, so that nr_to_write won't become negative.

It doesn't make sense to require io_end->handle when we are in

THis is because the Exynos u-boot, for example on the Chromebooks, doesn't set
up the CNTFRQ register as expected by arch_timer. Instead, we have to specify
the frequency in the device tree like this.

unused functions and optimizes the page fault handler to only evaluate

Running an "echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger" crashes the parisc kernel. The
problem is, that in print_worker_info() we try to read the workqueue info via
the probe_kernel_read() functions which use pagefault_disable() to avoid
crashes like this:
probe_kernel_read(&pwq, &worker->current_pwq, sizeof(pwq));
probe_kernel_read(&wq, &pwq->wq, sizeof(wq));
probe_kernel_read(name, wq->name, sizeof(name) - 1);
The problem here is, that the first probe_kernel_read(&pwq) might return zero
in pwq and as such the following probe_kernel_reads() try to access contents of
the page zero which is read protected and generate a kernel segfault.
With this patch we fix the interruption handler to call parisc_terminate()
directly only if pagefault_disable() was not called (in which case
preempt_count()==0). Otherwise we hand over to the pagefault handler which
will try to look up the faulting address in the fixup tables.

Olga reported that file descriptors opened with O_PATH do not work with
fstatfs(), found during further development of ksh93's thread support.
There is no reason to not allow O_PATH file descriptors here (fstatfs is
very much a path operation), so use "fdget_raw()". See commit
55815f7014 ("vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fstat()'")
for a very similar issue reported for fstat() by the same team.
