c596d9f320 cpusets: allow TIF_MEMDIE threads to allocate anywhere
OOM killed tasks have access to memory reserves as specified by the
TIF_MEMDIE flag in the hopes that it will quickly exit.  If such a task has
memory allocations constrained by cpusets, we may encounter a deadlock if a
blocking task cannot exit because it cannot allocate the necessary memory.

We allow tasks that have the TIF_MEMDIE flag to allocate memory anywhere,
including outside its cpuset restriction, so that it can quickly die
regardless of whether it is __GFP_HARDWALL.

a3a02be791 slab: mark set_up_list3s() __init
It is only ever used prior to free_initmem().

(It will cause a warning when we run the section checking, but that's a
false-positive and it simply changes the source of an existing warning, which
is also a false-positive)

3b1d92c565 Do not disable interrupts when reading min_free_kbytes
The sysctl handler for min_free_kbytes calls setup_per_zone_pages_min() on
read or write.  This function iterates through every zone and calls
spin_lock_irqsave() on the zone LRU lock.  When reading min_free_kbytes,
this is a total waste of time that disables interrupts on the local
processor.  It might even be noticable machines with large numbers of zones
if a process started constantly reading min_free_kbytes.

This patch only calls setup_per_zone_pages_min() only on write. Tested on
an x86 laptop and it did the right thing.

8da3430d8a slab: NUMA kmem_cache diet
Some NUMA machines have a big MAX_NUMNODES (possibly 1024), but fewer
possible nodes.  This patch dynamically sizes the 'struct kmem_cache' to
allocate only needed space.

I moved nodelists[] field at the end of struct kmem_cache, and use the
following computation in kmem_cache_init()

cache_cache.buffer_size = offsetof(struct kmem_cache, nodelists) +
                                 nr_node_ids * sizeof(struct kmem_list3 *);

On my two nodes x86_64 machine, kmem_cache.obj_size is now 192 instead of 704
(This is because on x86_64, MAX_NUMNODES is 64)

On bigger NUMA setups, this might reduce the gfporder of "cache_cache"

6310984694 SLAB: don't allocate empty shared caches
We can avoid allocating empty shared caches and avoid unecessary check of
cache->limit.  We save some memory.  We avoid bringing into CPU cache
unecessary cache lines.

All accesses to l3->shared are already checking NULL pointers so this patch is
safe.

364fbb29a0 SLAB: use num_possible_cpus() in enable_cpucache()
The existing comment in mm/slab.c is *perfect*, so I reproduce it :

         /*
          * CPU bound tasks (e.g. network routing) can exhibit cpu bound
          * allocation behaviour: Most allocs on one cpu, most free operations
          * on another cpu. For these cases, an efficient object passing between
          * cpus is necessary. This is provided by a shared array. The array
          * replaces Bonwick's magazine layer.
          * On uniprocessor, it's functionally equivalent (but less efficient)
          * to a larger limit. Thus disabled by default.
          */

As most shiped linux kernels are now compiled with CONFIG_SMP, there is no way
a preprocessor #if can detect if the machine is UP or SMP. Better to use
num_possible_cpus().

This means on UP we allocate a 'size=0 shared array', to be more efficient.

Another patch can later avoid the allocations of 'empty shared arrays', to
save some memory.

Introduce ra.offset and store in it an offset where the previous read
ended.  This way we can detect whether reads are really sequential (and
thus we should not mark the page as accessed repeatedly) or whether they
are random and just happen to be in the same page (and the page should
really be marked accessed again).

b813e931b4 smaps: add clear_refs file to clear reference
Adds /proc/pid/clear_refs.  When any non-zero number is written to this file,
pte_mkold() and ClearPageReferenced() is called for each pte and its
corresponding page, respectively, in that task's VMAs.  This file is only
writable by the user who owns the task.

It is now possible to measure _approximately_ how much memory a task is using
by clearing the reference bits with

	echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs

and checking the reference count for each VMA from the /proc/pid/smaps output
at a measured time interval.  For example, to observe the approximate change
in memory footprint for a task, write a script that clears the references
(echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs), sleeps, and then greps for Pgs_Referenced and
extracts the size in kB.  Add the sizes for each VMA together for the total
referenced footprint.  Moments later, repeat the process and observe the
difference.

For example, using an efficient Mozilla:

	accumulated time		referenced memory
	----------------		-----------------
		 0 s				 408 kB
		 1 s				 408 kB
		 2 s				 556 kB
		 3 s				1028 kB
		 4 s				 872 kB
		 5 s				1956 kB
		 6 s				 416 kB
		 7 s				1560 kB
		 8 s				2336 kB
		 9 s				1044 kB
		10 s				 416 kB

This is a valuable tool to get an approximate measurement of the memory
footprint for a task.

826fad1b93 smaps: extract pmd walker from smaps code
Extracts the pmd walker from smaps-specific code in fs/proc/task_mmu.c.

The new struct pmd_walker includes the struct vm_area_struct of the memory to
walk over.  Iteration begins at the vma->vm_start and completes at
vma->vm_end.  A pointer to another data structure may be stored in the private
field such as struct mem_size_stats, which acts as the smaps accumulator.  For
each pmd in the VMA, the action function is called with a pointer to its
struct vm_area_struct, a pointer to the pmd_t, its start and end addresses,
and the private field.

The interface for walking pmd's in a VMA for fs/proc/task_mmu.c is now:

	void for_each_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
			  void (*action)(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
					 pmd_t *pmd, unsigned long addr,
					 unsigned long end,
					 void *private),
			  void *private);

Since the pmd walker is now extracted from the smaps code, smaps_one_pmd() is
invoked for each pmd in the VMA.  Its behavior and efficiency is identical to
the existing implementation.

0013572b2a i386: use pte_update_defer in ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty,young}
If you actually clear the bit, you need to:

+         pte_update_defer(vma->vm_mm, addr, ptep);

The reason is, when updating PTEs, the hypervisor must be notified.  Using
atomic operations to do this is fine for all hypervisors I am aware of.
However, for hypervisors which shadow page tables, if these PTE
modifications are not trapped, you need a post-modification call to fulfill
the update of the shadow page table.

Add ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty,young} to i386.  They advertise that they
have it and there is at least one place where it needs to be called without

ptep_clear_flush_{dirty,young} are updated to use the new functions.  The
overall net effect to current users of ptep_clear_flush_{dirty,young} is
that we introduce an additional branch.

Introduce a macro for suppressing gcc from generating a warning about a

Example:

Not a happy solution, but those warnings are obnoxious.

- Using the usual pointlessly-set-it-to-zero approach wastes several

- Using a macro means we can (hopefully) do something else if gcc changes
  cause the `x = x' hack to stop working

- Using a macro means that people who are worried about hiding true bugs

14e0729841 add pfn_valid_within helper for sub-MAX_ORDER hole detection
Generally we work under the assumption that memory the mem_map array is
contigious and valid out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of pages, ie.  that if we
have validated any page within this MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block we need not check
any other.  This is not true when CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is set and we must
check each and every reference we make from a pfn.

Add a pfn_valid_within() helper which should be used when scanning pages
within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block when we have already checked the validility
of the block normally with pfn_valid().  This can then be optimised away when
we do not have holes within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of pages.

Other architectures that include dma-mapping-broken.h are arm26, h8300,
m68k, m68knommu and v850.  If these could be converted as well we could get

This is unusual, but not incorrect, as PG_writeback is still set.

However the next patch will require that SetPageUptodate always be called with

(it is unusual that the write path does such a thing anyway).  Instead just
leave it to the read side to bring the page uptodate when it notices that all

1b4244647c Use ZVC counters to establish exact size of dirtyable pages
We can use the global ZVC counters to establish the exact size of the LRU
and the free pages.  This allows a more accurate determination of the dirty
ratio.

This patch will fix the broken ratio calculations if large amounts of
memory are allocated to huge pags or other consumers that do not put the
pages on to the LRU.

Notes:
- I did not add NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE to the calculation of the
  dirtyable pages. Those may be reclaimable but they are at this
  point not dirtyable. If NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE would be considered
  then a huge number of reclaimable pages would stop writeback
  from occurring.

- This patch used to be in mm as the last one in a series of patches.
  It was removed when Linus updated the treatment of highmem because
  there was a conflict. I updated the patch to follow Linus' approach.
  This patch is neede to fulfill the claims made in the beginning of the
  patchset that is now in Linus' tree.

476f35348e Safer nr_node_ids and nr_node_ids determination and initial values
The nr_cpu_ids value is currently only calculated in smp_init.  However, it
may be needed before (SLUB needs it on kmem_cache_init!) and other kernel
components may also want to allocate dynamically sized per cpu array before
smp_init.  So move the determination of possible cpus into sched_init()
where we already loop over all possible cpus early in boot.

Also initialize both nr_node_ids and nr_cpu_ids with the highest value they
could take.  If we have accidental users before these values are determined
then the current valud of 0 may cause too small per cpu and per node arrays
to be allocated.  If it is set to the maximum possible then we only waste
some memory for early boot users.

generic alternative to cut-and-pasting the Linux idiomatic pagetable walking

Although this interface is intended to be useful in a wide range of
situations, it is currently used specifically by several Xen subsystems, for
example: to ensure that pagetables have been allocated for a virtual address
range, and to construct batched special pagetable update requests to map I/O
memory (in ioremap()).

1733310bb7 MPSC serial driver tx locking
The MPSC serial driver assumes that interrupt is always on to pick up the
DMA transmit ops that aren't submitted while the DMA engine is active.
However when irqs are off for a period of time such as operations under
kernel crash dump console messages do not show up due to additional DMA ops
are being dropped.  This makes console writes to process through all the tx
DMAs queued up before submitting a new request.

Also, the current locking mechanism does not protect the hardware registers
and ring buffer when a printk is done during the serial write operations.
The additional per port transmit lock provides a finer granular locking and
protects registers being clobbered while printks are nested within UART
writes.

abb4a23907 serial: define FIXED_PORT flag for serial_core
At present, the serial core always allows setserial in userspace to change the
port address, irq and base clock of any serial port.  That makes sense for
legacy ISA ports, but not for (say) embedded ns16550 compatible serial ports
at peculiar addresses.  In these cases, the kernel code configuring the ports
must know exactly where they are, and their clocking arrangements (which can
be unusual on embedded boards).  It doesn't make sense for userspace to change
these settings.

Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port
structure.  If this flag is set when the serial port is configured, any
attempts to alter the port's type, io address, irq or base clock with
setserial are ignored.

In addition this patch uses the new flag for on-chip serial ports probed in
arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c, and for other hard-wired serial ports
probed by drivers/serial/of_serial.c.

beab697ab4 serial driver PMC MSP71xx
Serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx devices.

There are three different fixes:

1 Fix for DesignWare APB THRE errata: In brief, this is a non-standard
  16550 in that the THRE interrupt will not re-assert itself simply by
  disabling and re-enabling the THRI bit in the IER, it is only re-enabled
  if a character is actually sent out.

  It appears that the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm" tree
  also fixes it so we have dropped our initial workaround.  This patch now
  needs to be applied on top of that "mm" patch.

2 Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write: The DesignWare APB UART has a feature
  which causes a new Busy Detect interrupt to be generated if it's busy
  when the LCR is written.  This fix saves the value of the LCR and
  rewrites it after clearing the interrupt.

3 Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue: The SoC needs to
  ensure that writes that can cause interrupts to be cleared reach the UART
  before returning from the ISR.  This fix reads a non-destructive register
  on the UART so the read transaction completion ensures the previously
  queued write transaction has also completed.

6179b5562d add new_id to PCMCIA drivers
PCI drivers have the new_id file in sysfs which allows new IDs to be added
at runtime.  The advantage is to avoid re-compilation of a driver that
works for a new device, but it's ID table doesn't contain the new device.
This mechanism is only meant for testing, after the driver has been tested
successfully, the ID should be added in source code so that new revisions
of the kernel automatically detect the device.

The implementation follows the PCI implementation. The interface is documented
in Documentation/pcmcia/driver.txt. Computations should be done in userspace,
so the sysfs string contains the raw structure members for matching.

e3ebadd95c Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation"
This was broken.  It adds complexity, for no good reason.  Rather than
separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(),
and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which
is more readable and has nicer semantics.

However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be
the exact same as __pa().  That fixes the bugs this patch introduced,
and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later.

Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for
the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way
all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of
constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add
more sanity-checking of the argument.
