The current disable/enable mechanism is:
token = hw_perf_save_disable();
...
/* do bits */
...
hw_perf_restore(token);
This works well, provided that the use nests properly. Except we don't.
x86 NMI/INT throttling has non-nested use of this, breaking things. Therefore
provide a reference counter disable/enable interface, where the first disable
disables the hardware, and the last enable enables the hardware again.

I noticed that when enabling a group via the PERF_COUNTER_IOC_ENABLE
ioctl on the group leader, the counters weren't enabled and counting
immediately on return from the ioctl, but did start counting a little
while later (presumably after a context switch).
The reason was that __perf_counter_enable calls group_sched_in which
calls hw_perf_group_sched_in, which on powerpc assumes that the caller
has called hw_perf_save_disable already. Until commit 46d686c6
("perf_counter: put whole group on when enabling group leader") it was
true that all callers of group_sched_in had called
hw_perf_save_disable first, and the powerpc hw_perf_group_sched_in
relies on that (there isn't an x86 version).
This fixes the problem by putting calls to hw_perf_save_disable /
hw_perf_restore around the calls to group_sched_in and
counter_sched_in in __perf_counter_enable. Having the calls to
hw_perf_save_disable/restore around the counter_sched_in call is
harmless and makes this call consistent with the other call sites
of counter_sched_in, which have all called hw_perf_save_disable first.

A compile warning triggered because we are calling
atomic_set(&counter->count). But since counter->count
is an atomic64_t, we have to use atomic64_set.
So the count can be set short, resulting in the reset ioctl
only resetting the low word.

The context-switch software counter gives inflated values at present
because each scheduler tick and each process-wide counter
enable/disable prctl gets counted as a context switch.
This happens because perf_counter_task_tick, perf_counter_task_disable
and perf_counter_task_enable all call perf_counter_task_sched_out,
which calls perf_swcounter_event to record a context switch event.
This fixes it by introducing a variant of perf_counter_task_sched_out
with two underscores in front for internal use within the perf_counter
code, and makes perf_counter_task_{tick,disable,enable} call it. This
variant doesn't record a context switch event, and takes a struct
perf_counter_context *. This adds the new variant rather than
changing the behaviour or interface of perf_counter_task_sched_out
because that is called from other code.

Currently, if you have a group where the leader is disabled and there
are siblings that are enabled, and then you enable the leader, we only
put the leader on the PMU, and not its enabled siblings. This is
incorrect, since the enabled group members should be all on or all off
at any given point.
This fixes it by adding a call to group_sched_in in
__perf_counter_enable in the case where we're enabling a group leader.
To avoid the need for a forward declaration this also moves
group_sched_in up before __perf_counter_enable. The actual content of
group_sched_in is unchanged by this patch.

Corey noticed that ioctl()s on grouped counters didn't work on
the whole group. This extends the ioctl() interface to take a
second argument that is interpreted as a flags field. We then
provide PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP to toggle the behaviour.
Having this flag gives the greatest flexibility, allowing you
to individually enable/disable/reset counters in a group, or

Commit c751085943 ("PM/Hibernate: Wait for

scsi_complete_async_scans() to software_resume(), so that it waited for
the SCSI scanning to complete, but the call was added at a wrong place.
Namely, it should have been added after wait_for_device_probe(), which
is called only if the image partition hasn't been specified yet. Also,
it's reasonable to check if the image partition is present and only wait
for the device probing and SCSI scanning to complete if it is not the
case.
Additionally, since noresume is checked right at the beginning of
software_resume() and the function returns immediately if it's set, it
doesn't make sense to check it once again later.

Commit 900af0d973 (PM: Change suspend
code ordering) changed the ordering of suspend code in such a way
that the platform .prepare() callback is now executed after the
device drivers' late suspend callbacks have run. Unfortunately, this
turns out to break ARM platforms that need to talk via I2C to power
control devices during the .prepare() callback.
For this reason introduce two new platform suspend callbacks,
.prepare_late() and .wake(), that will be called just prior to
disabling non-boot CPUs and right after bringing them back on line,
respectively, and use them instead of .prepare() and .finish() for
ACPI suspend. Make the PM core execute the .prepare() and .finish()
platform suspend callbacks where they were executed previously (that
is, right after calling the regular suspend methods provided by
device drivers and right before executing their regular resume
methods, respectively).
It is not necessary to make analogous changes to the hibernation
code and data structures at the moment, because they are only used
by ACPI platforms.
