32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.
setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.
v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

The Blackfin arch, like the x86 arch, needs to adjust the PC manually
after a breakpoint is hit as normally this is handled by the remote gdb.
However, rather than starting another arch ifdef mess, create a common

The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:
* cgroup creation is out-of-control
* cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
* it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
* we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup
The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
the 'tasks' file.
This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html
The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.
This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757b4 ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal. Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

Commit b87cf80af3 added support for
ARAT (Always Running APIC timer) on AMD processors that are not
affected by erratum 400. This erratum is present on certain processor
families and prevents APIC timer from waking up the CPU when it
is in a deep C state, including C1E state.
Determining whether a processor is affected by this erratum may
have some corner cases and handling these cases is somewhat
complicated. In the interest of simplicity we won't claim ARAT
support on processor families below 0x12 and will go back to
broadcasting timer when going idle.

This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache
API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent
Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem).
Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented
pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages,
and frontswap pages. Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency,
full save/restore and live migration support, compression
and deduplication.
A presentation showing up to 8% faster performance and up to 52%
reduction in sectors read on a kernel compile workload, despite
aggressive in-kernel page reclamation ("self-ballooning") can be

UEFI stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", where "Firmware"
is an ancient African word meaning "Why do something right when you can
do it so wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before
you", and "UEI" is Celtic for "We missed DOS so we burned it into your
ROMs". The UEFI specification provides for runtime services (ie, another
way for the operating system to be forced to depend on the firmware) and
we rely on these for certain trivial tasks such as setting up the
bootloader. But some hardware fails to work if we attempt to use these
runtime services from physical mode, and so we have to switch into virtual
mode. So far so dreadful.
The specification makes it clear that the operating system is free to do
whatever it wants with boot services code after ExitBootServices() has been
called. SetVirtualAddressMap() can't be called until ExitBootServices() has
been. So, obviously, a whole bunch of EFI implementations call into boot
services code when we do that. Since we've been charmingly naive and
trusted that the specification may be somehow relevant to the real world,
we've already stuffed a picture of a penguin or something in that address
space. And just to make things more entertaining, we've also marked it
non-executable.
This patch allocates the boot services regions during EFI init and makes
sure that they're executable. Then, after SetVirtualAddressMap(), it
discards them and everyone lives happily ever after. Except for the ones
who have to work on EFI, who live sad lives haunted by the knowledge that
someone's eventually going to write yet another firmware specification.
[ hpa: adding this to urgent with a stable tag since it fixes currently-broken
hardware. However, I do not know what the dependencies are and so I do
not know which -stable versions this may be a candidate for. ]

Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it
to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This
obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is
already used in generic code.
It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by
keeping the most inclusive wording.

the static log buffer overflows before the larger one specified by the

new log buffer as soon as possible.
On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from

The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the
64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver
(and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in
<http://lkml.kernel.org/r/adaab6c1h7c.fsf@cisco.com>). To fix this,
revert 2c5643b1c5 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and
follow-on cleanups.
This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and
write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the
definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>. However as discussed
exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right
way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore
belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure
no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access).
Build tested on 32- and 64-bit x86 allmodconfig.

cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position.
It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio.
This patch has two change.
1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask
is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability
2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory
footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future.
In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var.
It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users.
This patch has no functional change.

When an oom killing occurs, almost all processes are getting stuck at the
following two points.
1) __alloc_pages_nodemask
2) __lock_page_or_retry
1) is not very problematic because TIF_MEMDIE leads to an allocation
failure and getting out from page allocator.
2) is more problematic. In an OOM situation, zones typically don't have
page cache at all and memory starvation might lead to greatly reduced IO
performance. When a fork bomb occurs, TIF_MEMDIE tasks don't die quickly,
meaning that a fork bomb may create new process quickly rather than the
oom-killer killing it. Then, the system may become livelocked.
This patch makes the pagefault interruptible by SIGKILL.

Reorder mm_context_t to remove alignment padding on 64 bit
builds shrinking its size from 64 to 56 bytes.
This allows mm_struct to shrink from 840 to 832 bytes, so using
one fewer cache lines, and getting more objects per slab when
using slub.

SGI UV's uv_tlb.c driver has become rather hard to read, with overly large
functions, non-standard coding style and (way) too long variable, constant
and function names and non-obvious code flow sequences.
This patch improves the readability and maintainability of the driver
significantly, by doing the following strict code cleanups with no side
effects:
- Split long functions into shorter logical functions.
- Shortened some variable and structure member names.
- Added special functions for reads and writes of MMR regs with
very long names.
- Added the 'tunables' table to shortened tunables_write().
- Added the 'stat_description' table to shorten uv_ptc_proc_write().
- Pass fewer 'stat' arguments where it can be derived from the 'bcp'
argument.
- Function definitions consistent on one line, and inline in few (short) cases.
- Moved some small structures and an atomic inline function to the header file.
- Moved some local variables to the blocks where they are used.
- Updated the copyright date.
- Shortened uv_write_global_mmr64() etc. using some aliasing; no
line breaks. Renamed many uv_.. functions that are not exported.
- Aligned structure fields.
[ note that not all structures are aligned the same way though; I'd like
to keep the extensive commenting in some of them. ]
- Shortened some long structure names.
- Standard pass/fail exit from init_per_cpu()
- Vertical alignment for mass initializations.
- More separation between blocks of code.
Tested on a 16-processor Altix UV.

This patch adds support for a new version of the SGI UV hub
chip. The hub chip is the node controller that connects multiple
blades into a larger coherent SSI.
For the most part, UV2 is compatible with UV1. The majority of
the changes are in the addresses of MMRs and in a few cases, the
contents of MMRs. These changes are the result in changes in the
system topology such as node configuration, processor types,
maximum nodes, physical address sizes, etc.

The Intel manual changed the name of the CPUID bit to match the
instruction name. We should follow suit for sanity's sake. (See Intel SDM
Volume 2, Table 3-20 "Feature Information Returned in the ECX Register".)

The only fast implementation of time(2) we expose is through the
vsyscall page and we want to get userspace to stop using the
vsyscall page. So make it available through the vDSO as well.
This is essentially a cut-n-paste job.

vread_tsc is short and hot, and it's userspace code so the usual
reasons to enable -pg and turn off sibling calls don't apply.
(OK, turning off sibling calls has no effect. But it might
someday...)
As an added benefit, tsc.c is profilable now.

vclock_gettime's do_monotonic helper can't ever generate a negative
nsec value, so it doesn't need to check whether it's negative. In
the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE case, ns can't ever exceed 2e9-1, so we
can avoid the loop entirely. This saves a single easily-predicted
branch.

vread_tsc checks whether rdtsc returns something less than
cycle_last, which is an extremely predictable branch. GCC likes
to generate a cmov anyway, which is several cycles slower than
a predicted branch. This saves a couple of nanoseconds.

RDTSC is completely unordered on modern Intel and AMD CPUs. The
Intel manual says that lfence;rdtsc causes all previous instructions
to complete before the tsc is read, and the AMD manual says to use
mfence;rdtsc to do the same thing.
From a decent amount of testing [1] this is enough to make rdtsc
be ordered with respect to subsequent loads across a wide variety
of CPUs.
On Sandy Bridge (i7-2600), this improves a loop of
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) by more than 5 ns/iter.
