- pci_map_sg/dma_map_sg are used with a scatter gather list that doesn't
come from the block layer (e.g. some network drivers do).
- how IOMMUs merge adjacent elements of the scatter/gather list is
independent of how the block layer determines sees elements.

It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also
limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll
interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified
version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large
amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To
solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based
configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created,
named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration
points:
max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user
max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user
The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll
to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a
256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000.
That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The
default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be
enough too.
This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out
from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already
listed, so that should be ok.

Impact: extend documentation with notice of using wild cards correctly
We know that we can use wild cards to set set_ftrace_filter, but there's
problem when using them naively such as:
echo h* > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
If there are files named with "h" prefix in current directory,
echo "h*" will echo these filenames to set_ftrace_filter, not the
intended "h*".
For example:
$ cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions |grep ^hr |wc -l
23
$ ls
$ touch hraa hrdd
$ ls
hraa hrdd
$ echo hr* > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
$ cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
No output in /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter!
If we use '' to escape wild cards, it works:
$ ls
hraa hrdd
$ echo "hr*" > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
$ cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter |wc -l
23
This problem can lead to unexpected result if current directory has a
lot of files.

Impact: feature to function trace a single thread
This patch adds the ability to function trace a single thread.
The file:
/debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_pid
contains the pid to trace. Valid pids are any positive integer.
Writing any negative number to this file will disable the pid
tracing and the function tracer will go back to tracing all of
threads.
This feature works with both static and dynamic function tracing.

Impact: modify+improve the userstacktrace tracing visualization feature
Store thread group leader id, and use it to lookup the address in the
process's map. We could have looked up the address on thread's map,
but the thread might not exist by the time we are called. The process
might not exist either, but if you are reading trace_pipe, that is
unlikely.
Example usage:
mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
echo sym-userobj >iter_ctrl
echo sched_switch >current_tracer
echo 1 >tracing_enabled
cat trace_pipe >/tmp/trace&
.... run application ...
echo 0 >tracing_enabled
cat /tmp/trace
You'll see stack entries like:
/lib/libpthread-2.7.so[+0xd370]
You can convert them to function/line using:
addr2line -fie /lib/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370
Or:
addr2line -fie /usr/lib/debug/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370
For non-PIC/PIE executables this won't work:
a.out[+0x73b]
You need to run the following: addr2line -fie a.out 0x40073b
(where 0x400000 is the default load address of a.out)

Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature
Usage example:
mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
echo sched_switch >current_tracer
echo 1 >tracing_enabled
.... run application ...
echo 0 >tracing_enabled
Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'.
To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with
frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing).

Impact: makes device isolation the default for AMD IOMMU
Some device drivers showed double-free bugs of DMA memory while testing
them with AMD IOMMU. If all devices share the same protection domain
this can lead to data corruption and data loss. Prevent this by putting

Impact: API *CHANGE*. Must update all tracepoint users.
Add DEFINE_TRACE() to tracepoints to let them declare the tracepoint
structure in a single spot for all the kernel. It helps reducing memory
consumption, especially when declaring a lot of tracepoints, e.g. for
kmalloc tracing.
*API CHANGE WARNING*: now, DECLARE_TRACE() must be used in headers for
tracepoint declarations rather than DEFINE_TRACE(). This is the sane way
to do it. The name previously used was misleading.
Updates scheduler instrumentation to follow this API change.

Impact: new API.
Allow markers to be used only for declaration, without function call
associated. Useful to create specialized probes.
The problem we had is that two function calls were required when one
wanted to put a marker in a tracepoint probe. Now the marker can be used
simply for trace data type declaration, leaving the trace write work
within the tracepoint probe without any additional function call.
