Now that we've got a generic perf-events based oprofile backend we might
as well make use of it seeing as SH doesn't do anything special with its
oprofile backend. Also introduce a new CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS symbol so
that we can fallback to using the timer interrupt for oprofile if the
CPU doesn't support perf events.
Also, to avoid a section mismatch warning we need to annotate
oprofile_arch_exit() with an __exit marker.

Move the perf-events backend from arch/arm/oprofile into
drivers/oprofile so that the code can be shared between architectures.
This allows each architecture to maintain only a single copy of the PMU
accessor functions instead of one for both perf and OProfile. It also
becomes possible for other architectures to delete much of their
OProfile code in favour of the common code now available in
drivers/oprofile/oprofile_perf.c.

cciss: freeing uninitialized data on error path
Inodes of devices such as /dev/zero can get dirty for example via
utime(2) syscall or due to atime update. Backing device of such inodes
(zero_bdi, etc.) is however unable to handle dirty inodes and thus
__mark_inode_dirty complains. In fact, inode should be rather dirtied
against backing device of the filesystem holding it. This is generally a
good rule except for filesystems such as 'bdev' or 'mtd_inodefs'. Inodes
in these pseudofilesystems are referenced from ordinary filesystem
inodes and carry mapping with real data of the device. Thus for these
inodes we have to use inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info as we did so
far. We distinguish these filesystems by checking whether sb->s_bdi
points to a non-trivial backing device or not.
Example: Assume we have an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1 mounted on /.
There's a device inode A described by a path "/dev/sdb" on this
filesystem. This inode will be dirtied against backing device "8:0"
after this patch. bdev filesystem contains block device inode B coupled
with our inode A. When someone modifies a page of /dev/sdb, it's B that
gets dirtied and the dirtying happens against the backing device "8:16".
Thus both inodes get filed to a correct bdi list.

There's a situation where the nohz balancer will try to wake itself:
cpu-x is idle which is also ilb_cpu
got a scheduler tick during idle
and the nohz_kick_needed() in trigger_load_balance() checks for
rq_x->nr_running which might not be zero (because of someone waking a
task on this rq etc) and this leads to the situation of the cpu-x
sending a kick to itself.
And this can cause a lockup.

The problem here is that we don't have bdi->dev information available when
thread does some IO. Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it
crashes.
This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root
group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't
hit this piece of code.
Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of
device in blk_group. Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device
information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes
in from same group.

I found this while working on a Linux agent for spice, the symptom I was
seeing was select blocking on the spice vdagent virtio serial port even
though there were messages queued up there.
virtio_console's port_fops_poll checks port->inbuf != NULL to determine
if read won't block. However if an application reads enough bytes from
inbuf through port_fops_read, to empty the current port->inbuf,
port->inbuf will be NULL even though there may be buffers left in the
virtqueue.
This causes poll() to block even though there is data to be read,
this patch fixes this by using will_read_block(port) instead of the
port->inbuf != NULL check.
