vfs: optimize inode cache access patterns
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
really do care. The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
fields is quite costly.
We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
ops that are used during pathname lookup.
It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
order accessed.
The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
"make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
lookup), so it's visible. The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture. So there's more tuning
to be done.

exofs: Rename raid engine from exofs/ios.c => ore
ORE stands for "Objects Raid Engine"

engine will later be used by the pnfs objects layout driver.

exofs: ios: Move to a per inode components & device-table
Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info,
single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing
a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each
inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table
view for each inode->ino to spread out the device usage.
This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that
each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object
component it's own pid, oid and creds.
So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by:
* Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info.
* Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a
possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the
arrays.
* Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds
and device array to use for each IO.
This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds
and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since
some of these members already existed in another form.
* ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed
pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of
these structures and arrays.
At the exofs Level:
* Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device
array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table
order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table
twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device
and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to
previous exofs versions.
* Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at
load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds.
When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the
layout.
While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the
wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well
as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not
check the credentials.

old way.
The major change to this is that now we need to call

inode.c::write_exec when we actually know these things. So this

PM / Runtime: Allow _put_sync() from interrupts-disabled context
Currently the use of pm_runtime_put_sync() is not safe from
interrupts-disabled context because rpm_idle() will release the
spinlock and enable interrupts for the idle callbacks. This enables
interrupts during a time where interrupts were expected to be
disabled, and can have strange side effects on drivers that expected
interrupts to be disabled.
This is not a bug since the documentation clearly states that only
_put_sync_suspend() is safe in IRQ-safe mode.
However, pm_runtime_put_sync() could be made safe when in IRQ-safe
mode by releasing the spinlock but not re-enabling interrupts, which
is what this patch aims to do.
Problem was found when using some buggy drivers that set
pm_runtime_irq_safe() and used _put_sync() in interrupts-disabled
context.
The local variable ret is defined twice in pm_genpd_poweron(), which
causes this function to always return 0, even if the PM domain's
.power_on() callback fails, in which case an error code should be
returned.

powerpc: Make KVM_GUEST default to n
KVM_GUEST adds a 1 MB array to the kernel (kvm_tmp) which grew
my kernel enough to cause it to fail to boot.
Dynamically allocating or reducing the size of this array is a
good idea, but in the meantime I think it makes sense to make
KVM_GUEST default to n in order to minimise surprises.

powerpc: Lack of ibm,io-events not that important!
The ibm,io-events code is a bit verbose with its error messages.
Reverse the reporting so we only print when we successfully enable
I/O event interrupts.

powerpc: Move kdump default base address to half RMO size on 64bit
We are seeing boot failures on some very large boxes even with
commit b5416ca9f824 (powerpc: Move kdump default base address to
64MB on 64bit).
This patch halves the RMO so both kernels get about the same
amount of RMO memory. On large machines this region will be
at least 256MB, so each kernel will get 128MB.
We cap it at 256MB (small SLB size) since some early allocations need
to be in the bolted SLB region. We could relax this on machines with
1TB SLBs in a future patch.
A page fault occurred walking the callchain while creating a perf
sample for the context-switch event. To handle the page fault the
mmap_sem is needed, but it is currently held by setup_arg_pages.
(setup_arg_pages calls shift_arg_pages with the mmap_sem held.
shift_arg_pages then calls move_page_tables which has a cond_resched
at the top of its for loop - hitting that cond_resched is what caused
the context switch.)
This is an extension of Anton's proposed patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/24/151
adding case for 32-bit ppc.
Tested on the system that first generated the panic and then again
with latest kernel using a PPC VM. I am not able to test the 64-bit
path - I do not have H/W for it and 64-bit PPC VMs (qemu on Intel)
is horribly slow.
