Add the offset of the file we are analyzing, and the size of the record.
In case of problems it's easier to see where the parser lost track.

To help the inspection of various data files, implement an ASCII dump
method that just dumps the records as they are read in - then we exit.

perf: Don't assume /proc/kallsyms is ordered
Since we _are_ ordering it by the symbol start, just traverse the

This output:
$ perf stat -e 0:1:k -e 0:1:u ./hello
Performance counter stats for './hello':
140131 instructions (events)
1906968 instructions (events)
Is quite confusing - as :k means "user instructions", :u means
"kernel instructions".
Flip them around - as the 'exclude' property is not intuitive in
the flag naming.

Before this change, if a long-running perf stat workload was Ctrl-C-ed,
the utility exited without displaying statistics.
After the change, the Ctrl-C gets propagated into the workload (and
causes its early exit there), but perf stat itself will still continue
to run and will display counter results.
This is useful to run open-ended workloads, let them run for
a while, then Ctrl-C them to get the stats.

This reverts commit fafd688e4c0c34da0f3de909881117d374e4c7af.
Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing
for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs
to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not
have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily
revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API
forever.

Change last "i386" to X86-32 as is used throughout the rest of the file.
Change combination of X86-32,X86-64 to just X86, as is done throughout the
rest of the file.
Add a note that hyphens and underscores are equivalent in parameter names,
with examples.

scripts/kernel-doc can (incorrectly) delete struct members that are
surrounded by /* ... */ <struct members> /* ... */ if there is a /*
private: */ comment in there somewhere also.
Fix that by making the "/* private:" only allow whitespace between /* and
"private:", not anything/everything in the world.
This fixes some erroneous kernel-doc warnings that popped up while
processing include/linux/usb/composite.h.

Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page
locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the
lock until the page is marked dirty. This allows the filesystem to have
full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM.
Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we
call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with
it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock.
The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to
associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will
perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite. It currently then must
return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according
to existing page_mkwrite convention).
In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty. The
filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be
attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the
filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no
longer dirty.
It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in
->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail. The
filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example.
And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because
page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the
page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail.
This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations
(page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty)
closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being
initiated in that window. This provides the filesystem with a strong
synchronisation against the VM here.
- Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem.
- Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913).
- I need it for fsblock.
- I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs).
- I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation
under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page
at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot
be fixed properly without this patch).
- Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their
page_mkwrite functions themselves.
[ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should
eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a
filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ]
