<content type='text'>
The dasd driver has a lot of duplicated code to handle
dasd_global_profile. With this patch we use the same code for the
global and the per device profiling data. Note that dasd_stats_write
had to change slightly to maintain some odd differences between
A) per device and global profile and B) proc and sysfs interface
usage.

Access to DASDs global statistics is done without locking which
can lead to inconsistent data. Add locking to fix this. Also move
the relevant structs in a global dasd_profile struct.

<title>s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names</title>

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

<title>[S390] dasd: use vmalloc for statistics input buffer</title>

<content type='text'>
The size of the buffer that is used to store DASD statistics input
strings depends on the user input. If the input string is to large,
the write operation could fail with -ENOMEM. To avoid this, use
vmalloc instead of kmalloc.

<title>[S390] dasd: add enhanced DASD statistics interface</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4fa52aa7a82f9226b3874a69816bda3af821f002</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch extends the DASD statistics to allow for a more detailed
analysis of DASD I/O operations. In particular we want the statistics
to provide answers to the following questions:
- How many requests used a PAV alias?
- How many requests used High Performance FICON?
- How do read request perform versus write requests?

The existing DASD statistics interface has several shortcomings
- The interface for global data is a formatted text table in procfs
  (/proc/dasd/statistics). The layout is meant for human readers and
  is not to easy to parse. If values get to large for the table
  layout, they get scaled down.
- The statistics which are collected per block device can be
  accessed via an ioctl interface, which can only be extended by
  defining a new ioctl.
- There is no statistics interface for individual PAV base and alias
  devices.

To overcome theses shortcomings we create a new DASD statistics
interface in debugfs. This interface will contain one entry for global
data, one per DASD block device, and one per DASD base and alias
device. Each file contains the statistic data in easy to parse
name/value and name/array pairs. The existing interfaces will remain
functional, but they will not be extended.

<title>[S390] dasd: fix use after free in dbf</title>

<id>urn:sha1:26cffecf84c8cb33787dd13a72bd2124d107d413</id>
<content type='text'>
Writing to /proc/dasd/statistics while the debug level of the
generic dasd debug entry is set to DBF_DEBUG will lead to an
use after free when accessing the debug entry later.
Since for the format string "%s" in the s390 dbf only a pointer
to the string is stored in the debug feature and the buffer used
here is freed afterwards.

To fix this just remove the debug message.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>
<updated>2010-03-30T13:02:32Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Tejun Heo</name>
<email>tj@kernel.org</email>
</author>
<published>2010-03-24T08:04:11Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/commit/?id=5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

<title>tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e7d2860b690d4f3bed6824757c540579638e3d1e</id>
<content type='text'>
Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.

It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

Also, while at it, if we see (*str &amp;&amp; isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

Julia Lawall tried the semantic patch (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) below,
and found occurrences of this pattern on 3 more files:
    drivers/leds/led-class.c
    drivers/leds/ledtrig-timer.c
    drivers/video/output.c

@@
expression str;
@@

( // ignore skip_spaces cases
while (*str &amp;&amp;  isspace(*str)) { \(str++;\|++str;\) }
|
- *str &amp;&amp;
isspace(*str)
)
