With more than one btrfs volume mounted, it can be very difficult to find
out which volume is hitting an error. btrfs_error() will print this, but
it is currently rigged as more of a fatal error handler, while many of
the printk()s are currently for debugging and yet-unhandled cases.
This patch just changes the functions where the device information is
already available. Some cases remain where the root or fs_info is not
passed to the function emitting the error.
This may introduce some confusion with volumes backed by multiple devices
emitting errors referring to the primary device in the set instead of the
one on which the error occurred.
Use btrfs_printk(fs_info, format, ...) rather than writing the device
string every time, and introduce macro wrappers ala XFS for brevity.
Since the function already cannot be used for continuations, print a
newline as part of the btrfs_printk() message rather than at each caller.

Each time pick one dead root from the list and let the caller know if
it's needed to continue. This should improve responsiveness during
umount and balance which at some point waits for cleaning all currently
queued dead roots.
A new dead root is added to the end of the list, so the snapshots
disappear in the order of deletion.
The snapshot cleaning work is now done only from the cleaner thread and the
others wake it if needed.

We currently store the first key of the tree block inside the reference for the
tree block in the extent tree. This takes up quite a bit of space. Make a new
key type for metadata which holds the level as the offset and completely removes
storing the btrfs_tree_block_info inside the extent ref. This reduces the size
from 51 bytes to 33 bytes per extent reference for each tree block. In practice
this results in a 30-35% decrease in the size of our extent tree, which means we
COW less and can keep more of the extent tree in memory which makes our heavy
metadata operations go much faster. This is not an automatic format change, you
must enable it at mkfs time or with btrfstune. This patch deals with having
metadata stored as either the old format or the new format so it is easy to
convert. Thanks,

We keep hitting bugs in the tree log replay because btrfs_remove_free_space
doesn't account for some corner case. So add a bunch of tests to try and fully
test btrfs_remove_free_space since the only time it is called is during tree log

we need to add to these tests to make sure we don't regress in fixing things.

Call Trace:
register_efivars+0x106/0x370

The reason for the crash is that '__efivars' hasn't been initialised nor
has it been registered with register_efivars() by the time the google
EFI SMI driver runs. The gsmi code uses its own struct efivars, and
therefore, a different variable list. Fix the above crash by passing
the registered struct efivars to variable_is_present(), so that we
traverse the correct list.

User applications running on SMP kernels have long suffered from instability
and random segmentation faults. This patch improves the situation although
there is more work to be done.
One of the problems is the various routines in pgtable.h that update page table
entries use different locking mechanisms, or no lock at all (set_pte_at). This
change modifies the routines to all use the same lock pa_dbit_lock. This lock
is used for dirty bit updates in the interruption code. The patch also purges
the TLB entries associated with the PTE to ensure that inconsistent values are
not used after the page table entry is updated. The UP and SMP code are now
identical.
The change also includes a minor update to the purge_tlb_entries function in
cache.c to improve its efficiency.

CONFIG_MLONGCALLS was introduced in commit
ec758f9832 to overcome linker issues when linking
huge linux kernels, e.g. with many modules linked in.
But in the kernel module loader there is no support yet for the new relocation
types, which is why modules built with -mlong-calls can't be loaded.
Furthermore, for modules long calls are not really necessary, since we already
use stub sections which resolve long distance calls.
So, let's just disable this compiler option when compiling kernel modules.

When targetting 32-bit processors, __put_user emits a pair of stw
instructions for the 8-byte case. If the type of __val is a pointer, the
marshalling code casts it to the wider integer type of u64, resulting
in the following compiler warnings:
kernel/signal.c: In function 'copy_siginfo_to_user':
kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
[...]
This patch fixes the warnings by removing the marshalling code and using
the correct output modifiers in the __put_{user,kernel}_asm64 macros
so that GCC will allocate the right registers without the need to
extract the two words explicitly.

a smaller structure, so the pointer to it may be pointing off into garbage.
