Impact: minor cleanup.
I'm not going to neaten anyone else's code, but I'm happy to clean up
my own.

Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> discovered that boot times are slowed
by about half a second because all the stop_machine_create() calls,
and he only probes about 40 modules (I have 125 loaded on this laptop).
We only do stop_machine_create() so we can unlink the module if
something goes wrong, but it's overkill (and buggy anyway: if
stop_machine_create() fails we still call stop_machine_destroy()).
Since we are only protecting against kallsyms (esp. oops) walking the
list, synchronize_sched() is sufficient (synchronize_rcu() is probably
sufficient, but we're not in a hurry).
Kay says of this patch:
... no module takes more than 40 millisecs to link now, most of
them are between 3 and 8 millisecs.
That looks very different to the numbers without this patch
and the otherwise same setup, where we get heavy noise in the
traces and many delays of up to 200 millisecs until linking,
most of them taking 30+ millisecs.

There seems to be a common pattern in the kernel where drivers want to
call request_module() from inside a module_init() function. Currently
this would deadlock.
As a result, several drivers go through hoops like scheduling things via
kevent, or creating custom work queues (because kevent can deadlock on them).
This patch changes this to use a request_module_nowait() function macro instead,
which just fires the modprobe off but doesn't wait for it, and thus avoids the
original deadlock entirely.
On my laptop this already results in one less kernel thread running..

With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, we version 'struct module' using a dummy
export, but other things matter too:
1) 'struct modversion_info' determines the layout of the __versions section,
2) 'struct kernel_param' determines the layout of the __params section,
3) 'struct kernel_symbol' determines __ksymtab*.
4) 'struct marker' determines __markers.
5) 'struct tracepoint' determines __tracepoints.
So we rename 'struct_module' to 'module_layout' and include these in
the signature. Now it's general we can add others later on without
confusion.

Impact: reduce kernel memory usage
This patch just takes off the SHF_ALLOC flag on __versions so we don't
keep them around after module load.
This saves about 7% of module memory if CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y.

Impact: Expose some module.c symbols
Ksplice uses several functions from module.c in order to resolve
symbols and implement dependency handling. Calling these functions
requires holding module_mutex, so it is exported.
(This is just the module part of a bigger add-exports patch from Tim).

Impact: New API
kallsyms_lookup_name only returns the first match that it finds. Ksplice
needs information about all symbols with a given name in order to correctly
resolve local symbols.
kallsyms_on_each_symbol provides a generic mechanism for iterating over the
kallsyms table.

Impact: Replace and remove risky (non-EXPORTed) API
module_text_address() returns a pointer to the module, which given locking
improvements in module.c, is useless except to test for NULL:
1) If the module can't go away, use __module_text_address.
2) Otherwise, just use is_module_text_address().

Impact: New API, cleanup
ksplice wants to know the bounds of a module, not just the module text.
It makes sense to have __module_address. We then implement
is_module_address and __module_text_address in terms of this (and
change is_module_text_address() to bool while we're at it).
Also, add proper kerneldoc for them all.

Impact: fix crash on reading from /sys/module/.../ieee80211_default_rc_algo
The module_param type "charp" simply sets a char * pointer in the
module to the parameter in the commandline string: this is why we keep
the (mangled) module command line around. But when set via sysfs (as
about 11 charp parameters can be) this memory is freed on the way
out of the write(). Future reads hit random mem.
So we kstrdup instead: we have to check we're not in early commandline
parsing, and we have to note when we've used it so we can reliably
kfree the parameter when it's next overwritten, and also on module
unload.
(Thanks to Randy Dunlap for CONFIG_SYSFS=n fixes)

Impact: cleanup
(Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo)
CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }
Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)
Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).
So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR
with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real const struct cpumask *).

Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and
added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing
to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator
in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too).
Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer
to merge worthy ;)
--
After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS
allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to
try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.
I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to
actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark
it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common
(and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some
improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's
interrupt contexts).
I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and
even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly
code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes.
It *seems* to work. I did a quick test.

This modifies the timer code in a way to allow lockdep to detect
deadlocks resulting from a lock being taken in the timer function
as well as around the del_timer_sync() call.

Spin more agressively. This is less fair but also markedly faster.
The numbers:
* dbench 50 (higher is better):
spin 1282MB/s
v10 548MB/s
v10 no wait 1868MB/s
* 4k creates (numbers in files/second higher is better):
spin avg 200.60 median 193.20 std 19.71 high 305.93 low 186.82
v10 avg 180.94 median 175.28 std 13.91 high 229.31 low 168.73
v10 no wait avg 232.18 median 222.38 std 22.91 high 314.66 low 209.12
* File stats (numbers in seconds, lower is better):
spin 2.27s
v10 5.1s
v10 no wait 1.6s
( The source changes are smaller than they look, I just moved the
need_resched checks in __mutex_lock_common after the cmpxchg. )

Change mutex contention behaviour such that it will sometimes busy wait on
acquisition - moving its behaviour closer to that of spinlocks.
This concept got ported to mainline from the -rt tree, where it was originally
implemented for rtmutexes by Steven Rostedt, based on work by Gregory Haskins.
Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50)
gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox:
# ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops"
avg ops/sec: 296604
# ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops"
avg ops/sec: 85870
The key criteria for the busy wait is that the lock owner has to be running on
a (different) cpu. The idea is that as long as the owner is running, there is a
fair chance it'll release the lock soon, and thus we'll be better off spinning
instead of blocking/scheduling.
Since regular mutexes (as opposed to rtmutexes) do not atomically track the
owner, we add the owner in a non-atomic fashion and deal with the races in
the slowpath.
Furthermore, to ease the testing of the performance impact of this new code,
there is means to disable this behaviour runtime (without having to reboot
the system), when scheduler debugging is enabled (CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y),
by issuing the following command:
# echo NO_OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features
This command re-enables spinning again (this is also the default):
# echo OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features
