ac331d158e call_usermodehelper(): increase reliability
Presently call_usermodehelper_setup() uses GFP_ATOMIC.  but it can return
NULL _very_ easily.

GFP_ATOMIC is needed only when we can't sleep.  and, GFP_KERNEL is robust
and better.

thus, I add gfp_mask argument to call_usermodehelper_setup().

So, its callers pass the gfp_t as below:

call_usermodehelper() and call_usermodehelper_keys():
	depend on 'wait' argument.
call_usermodehelper_pipe():
	always GFP_KERNEL because always run under process context.
orderly_poweroff():
	pass to GFP_ATOMIC because may run under interrupt context.

f16695f4ac asm-generic/int-ll64.h: always provide __{s,u}64
Several compilers offer "long long" without claiming to support C99.

Considering how frequent __s64/__u64 are used our userspace headers are
anyway unusable without __s64/__u64 available.

Always offer __s64/__u64 to non-gcc non-C99 compilers - if they provide
"long long" that makes the headers compiling and if they don't they are
anyway screwed.

b03f6489f9 build kernel/profile.o only when requested
Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled.

This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller.

As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are
now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are
measurable effects).

This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think
having more than two choices would be the better choice.

This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes
of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy
functions.

58340a07c1 introduce HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS Kconfig symbol
In many cases, especially in networking, it can be beneficial to know at
compile time whether the architecture can do unaligned accesses efficiently.
This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol

	HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS

for that purpose and adds it to the powerpc and x86 architectures.  Also add
some documentation about alignment and networking, and especially one intended
use of this symbol.

fd19382974 lib: allow memparse() to accept a NULL and ignorable second parm
Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which
would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed
string.

In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed
string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to
accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no
interest in it and promptly throw it away.

This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases
where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

585e93ae83 find dynamic stack allocations in checkstack.pl
Currently, checkstack.pl only looks for fixed subtractions from the stack
pointer.  However, things like this:

void function(int size)
{
        char stackbuster[size << 2];
...

are certainly worth pointing out, I think.

This could perhaps be done more cleanly, and the following patch only
adds "dynamic" REs for x86 and x86_64, but it works:

0x00b0 crypto_cbc_decrypt_inplace [cbc]:                Dynamic (%rax)
0x00ad crypto_pcbc_decrypt_inplace [pcbc]:              Dynamic (%rax)
0x02f6 crypto_pcbc_encrypt_inplace [pcbc]:              Dynamic (%rax)
0x036c _crypto_xcbc_digest_setkey [xcbc]:               Dynamic (%rax)
...

3f307891ce locking: add typecheck on irqsave and friends for correct flags
There haave been several areas in the kernel where an int has been used for
flags in local_irq_save() and friends instead of a long.  This can cause some
hard to debug problems on some architectures.

This patch adds a typecheck inside the irqsave and restore functions to flag
these cases.

3d6f4a20cc endian: Always evaluate arguments.
Changeset 7fa897b91a ("ide: trivial sparse
annotations") created an IDE bootup regression on big-endian systems.

In drivers/ide/ide-iops.c, function ide_fixstring() we now have the
loop:

		for (p = end ; p != s;)
			be16_to_cpus((u16 *)(p -= 2));

which will never terminate on big-endian because in such
a configuration be16_to_cpus() evaluates to "do { } while (0)"

Therefore, always evaluate the arguments to nop endian transformation
operations.

1096d63d8e ibmveth: enable driver for CMO
Enable ibmveth for Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO).  For this driver
it means calculating a desired amount of IO memory based on the current MTU
and updating this value with the bus when MTU changes occur.  Because DMA
mappings can fail, we have added a bounce buffer for temporary cases where
the driver can not map IO memory for the buffer pool.

The following changes are made to enable the driver for CMO:
 * DMA mapping errors will not result in error messages if entitlement has
   been exceeded and resources were not available.
 * DMA mapping errors are handled gracefully, ibmveth_replenish_buffer_pool()
   is corrected to check the return from dma_map_single and fail gracefully.
 * The driver will have a get_desired_dma function defined to function
   in a CMO environment.
 * When the MTU is changed, the driver will update the device IO entitlement

a90ab95a95 powerpc/pseries: vio bus support for CMO
This is a large patch but the normal code path is not affected.  For
non-pSeries platforms the code is ifdef'ed out and for non-CMO enabled
pSeries systems this does not affect the normal code path.  Devices that
do not perform DMA operations do not need modification with this patch.
The function get_desired_dma was renamed from get_io_entitlement for
clarity.

Overview

Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO) allows for a set of OS partitions
to be run with less RAM than the aggregate needs of the group of
partitions.  The firmware will balance memory between the partitions
and page in/out memory as needed.  Based on the number and type of IO
adpaters preset each partition is allocated an amount of memory for
DMA operations and this allocation will be guaranteed to the partition;
this is referred to as the partition's 'entitlement'.

Partitions running in a CMO environment can only have virtual IO devices
present.  The VIO bus layer will manage the IO entitlement for the system.
Accounting, at a system and per-device level, is tracked in the VIO bus
code and exposed via sysfs.  A set of dma_ops functions are added to
the bus to allow for this accounting.

Bus initialization

At initialization, the bus will calculate the minimum needs of the system
based on providing each device present with a standard minimum entitlement
along with a spare allocation for the bus to handle hotplug events.
If the minimum needs can not be met the system boot will be halted.

Device changes

The significant changes for devices while running under CMO are that the
devices must specify how much dedicated IO entitlement they desire and
must also handle DMA mapping errors that can occur due to constrained
IO memory.  The virtual IO drivers are modified to silence errors when
DMA mappings fail for CMO and handle these failures gracefully.

Each devices will be guaranteed a minimum entitlement that can always
be mapped.  Devices will specify how much entitlement they desire and
the VIO bus will attempt to provide for this.  Devices can change their
desired entitlement level at any point in time to address particular needs
(via vio_cmo_set_dev_desired()), not just at device probe time.

VIO bus changes

The system will have a particular entitlement level available from which
it can provide memory to the devices.  The bus defines two pools of memory
within this entitlement, the reserved and excess pools.  Each device is
provided with it's own entitlement no less than a system defined minimum
entitlement and no greater than what the device has specified as it's
desired entitlement.  The entitlement provided to devices comes from the
reserve pool.  The reserve pool can also contain a spare allocation as
large as the system defined minimum entitlement which is used for device
hotplug events.  Any entitlement not needed to fulfill the needs of a
reserve pool is placed in the excess pool.  Each device is guaranteed
that it can map up to it's entitled level; additional mapping are possible
as long as there is unmapped memory in the excess pool.

Bus probe

As the system starts, each device is given an entitlement equal only
to the system defined minimum entitlement.  The reserve pool is equal
to the sum of these entitlements, plus a spare allocation.  The VIO bus
also tracks the aggregate desired entitlement of all the devices.  If the
system desired entitlement is greater than the size of the reserve pool,
when devices unmap IO memory it will be reserved and a balance operation
will be scheduled for some time in the future.

Entitlement balancing

The balance function tries to fairly distribute entitlement between the
devices in the system with the goal of providing each device with it's
desired amount of entitlement.  Devices using more than what would be
ideal will have their entitled set-point adjusted; this will effectively
set a goal for lower IO memory usage as future mappings can fail and
deallocations will trigger a balance operation to distribute the newly
unmapped memory.  A fair distribution of entitlement can take several
balance operations to achieve.  Entitlement changes and device DLPAR
events will alter the state of CMO and will trigger balance operations.

Hotplug events

The VIO bus allows for changes in system entitlement at run-time via
'vio_cmo_entitlement_update()'.  When devices are added the hotplug
device event will be preceded by a system entitlement increase and this
is reversed when devices are removed.

The following changes are made that the VIO bus layer for CMO:
 * add IO memory accounting per device structure.
 * add IO memory entitlement query function to driver structure.
 * during vio bus probe, if CMO is enabled, check that driver has
   memory entitlement query function defined.  Fail if function not defined.
 * fail to register driver if io entitlement function not defined.
 * create set of dma_ops at vio level for CMO that will track allocations
   and return DMA failures once entitlement is reached.  Entitlement will
   limited by overall system entitlement.  Devices will have a reserved
   quantity of memory that is guaranteed, the rest can be used as available.
 * expose entitlement, current allocation, desired allocation, and the
   allocation error counter for devices to the user through sysfs
 * provide mechanism for changing a device's desired entitlement at run time
   for devices as an exported function and sysfs tunable
 * track any DMA failures for entitled IO memory for each vio device.
 * check entitlement against available system entitlement on device add
 * track entitlement metrics (high water mark, current usage)
 * provide function to reset high water mark
 * provide minimum and desired entitlement numbers at a bus level
 * provide drivers with a minimum guaranteed entitlement
 * balance available entitlement between devices to satisfy their needs
 * handle system entitlement changes and device hotplug

6490c4903d powerpc/pseries: iommu enablement for CMO
To support Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO), we need to check
for failure from some of the tce hcalls.

These changes for the pseries platform affect the powerpc architecture;
patches for the other affected platforms are included in this patch.

pSeries platform IOMMU code changes:
 * platform TCE functions must handle H_NOT_ENOUGH_RESOURCES errors and
   return an error.

Architecture IOMMU code changes:
 * Calls to ppc_md.tce_build need to check return values and return
   DMA_MAPPING_ERROR for transient errors.

Architecture changes:
 * struct machdep_calls for tce_build*_pSeriesLP functions need to change
   to indicate failure.
 * all other platforms will need updates to iommu functions to match the new
   calling semantics; they will return 0 on success.  The other platforms
   default configs have been built, but no further testing was performed.
