This patch adds support for moving charge of file pages, which include
normal file, tmpfs file and swaps of tmpfs file. It's enabled by setting
bit 1 of <target cgroup>/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.
Unlike the case of anonymous pages, file pages(and swaps) in the range
mmapped by the task will be moved even if the task hasn't done page fault,
i.e. they might not be the task's "RSS", but other task's "RSS" that maps
the same file. And mapcount of the page is ignored(the page can be moved
even if page_mapcount(page) > 1). So, conditions that the page/swap
should be met to be moved is that it must be in the range mmapped by the
target task and it must be charged to the old cgroup.

This adds a feature to disable oom-killer for memcg, if disabled, of
course, tasks under memcg will stop.
But now, we have oom-notifier for memcg. And the world around memcg is
not under out-of-memory. memcg's out-of-memory just shows memcg hits
limit. Then, administrator or management daemon can recover the situation
by
- kill some process
- enlarge limit, add more swap.
- migrate some tasks
- remove file cache on tmps (difficult ?)
Unlike oom-killer, you can take enough information before killing tasks.
(by gcore, or, ps etc.)

Considering containers or other resource management softwares in userland,
event notification of OOM in memcg should be implemented. Now, memcg has
"threshold" notifier which uses eventfd, we can make use of it for oom
notification.
This patch adds oom notification eventfd callback for memcg. The usage is
very similar to threshold notifier, but control file is memory.oom_control
and no arguments other than eventfd is required.

This adds:
alias: devname:<name>
to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.
Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.
The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
$ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
# Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
fuse fuse c10:229
ppp_generic ppp c108:0
tun net/tun c10:200
dm_mod mapper/control c10:235
Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
$ /sbin/udevd --debug
...
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666
A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
numbers.
Note:
The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.
This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be
compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation. One of these
is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not
be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help
optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch
adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if
the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

i2c-i801: Let the user disable selected driver features
ext4 was updated to accept barrier/nobarrier mount options
in addition to the older barrier=0/1. The barrier story
is complex enough, we should help people by making the options
the same at least, even if the defaults are different.
This patch allows the barrier/nobarrier mount options for ext3,
while keeping nobarrier the default.
It also unconditionally displays barrier status in show_options,
and prints a message at mount time if barriers are not enabled,
just as ext4 does.

Let the user disable selected features normally supported by the
device. This makes it possible to work around possible driver or
hardware bugs if the feature in question doesn't work as intended
for whatever reason.

The first three paragraphs are almost verbatim taken from Eric's
commit message on the patch introducing network ns tags. The next
two paragraphs I wrote to be a brief high level overview. The last
section is taken from the commit message on "Implement sysfs tagged
directory support", but updated. Hopefully correctly.

This patch adds the capability to use the usb debug port with the
kernel debugger. It is also still possible to use this functionality
with or without the earlyprintk=dbgpX. It is possible to use the
kgdbwait boot argument to debug very early in the kernel start up code.
There are two ways to use this driver extension with a kernel boot argument.
1) kgdbdbgp=# -- Where # is the number of the usb debug controller
You must use sysrq-g to break into the kernel debugger on another
connection type other than the dbgp.
2) kgdbdbgp=#debugControlNum#,#Seconds#
In this mode, the usb debug port is polled every #Seconds# for
character input. It is possible to use gdb or press control-c to
break into the kernel debugger.
From the implementation perspective there are 3 high level changes.
1) Allow variable retries for the the hardware via dbgp_bulk_read().
The amount of retries for the dbgp_bulk_read() needed to be
variable instead of fixed. We do not want to poll at all when the
kernel is operating in interrupt driven mode. The polling only
occurs if the kernel was booted when specifying some number of
seconds via the kgdbdbgp boot argument (IE kgdbdbgp=0,1). In this
case the loop count is reduced to 1 so as introduce the smallest
amount of latency as possible.
2) Save the bulk IN endpoint address for use by the kgdb code.
3) The addition of the kgdb interface code.
This consisted of adding in a character read function for the dbgp
as well as a polling thread to allow the dbgp to interrupt the
kernel execution. The rest is the typical kgdb I/O api.
