When two (or more) contexts output to the same buffer, it is possible
to observe half written output.
Suppose we have CPU0 doing perf_counter_mmap(), CPU1 doing
perf_counter_overflow(). If CPU1 does a wakeup and exposes head to
user-space, then CPU2 can observe the data CPU0 is still writing.

Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after
base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire,
usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use
generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because
during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct
i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is
initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem.
The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see
what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media
has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday
as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it
would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be
much bigger of a change, I think.

POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality:
PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles
in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1;
the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when
there is work to do.)
These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate
interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can
only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in
run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only
if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor
modes.
Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there
are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware
counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor
modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that
doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a
limited hardware counter.
To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the
processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined:
one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited
counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and
one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are
gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles"
event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags
are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base
field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing
unused field).
Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters,
we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted
on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize
this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6
immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in
a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function.
The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware
counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware
counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited
counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with
conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it
isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't.
This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to
handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

This patch implements the interrupt handler for AMD performance
counters. In difference to the Intel pmu, there is no single status
register and also there are no fixed counters. This makes the handler
very different and it is useful to make the handler vendor
specific. To check if a counter is overflowed the upper bit of the
counter is checked. Only counters where the active bit is set are
checked.
With this patch throttling is enabled for AMD performance counters.
This patch also reenables Linux performance counters on AMD cpus.
