vmscan: stop kswapd waiting on congestion when the min watermark is not being met
If reclaim fails to make sufficient progress, the priority is raised.
Once the priority is higher, kswapd starts waiting on congestion.
However, if the zone is below the min watermark then kswapd needs to
continue working without delay as there is a danger of an increased rate
of GFP_ATOMIC allocation failure.
This patch changes the conditions under which kswapd waits on congestion
by only going to sleep if the min watermarks are being met.

vmscan: have kswapd sleep for a short interval and double check it should be asleep
After kswapd balances all zones in a pgdat, it goes to sleep. In the
event of no IO congestion, kswapd can go to sleep very shortly after the
high watermark was reached. If there are a constant stream of allocations
from parallel processes, it can mean that kswapd went to sleep too quickly
and the high watermark is not being maintained for sufficient length time.
This patch makes kswapd go to sleep as a two-stage process. It first
tries to sleep for HZ/10. If it is woken up by another process or the
high watermark is no longer met, it's considered a premature sleep and
kswapd continues work. Otherwise it goes fully to sleep.
This adds more counters to distinguish between fast and slow breaches of
watermarks. A "fast" premature sleep is one where the low watermark was
hit in a very short time after kswapd going to sleep. A "slow" premature
sleep indicates that the high watermark was breached after a very short
interval.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm: add gfp flags for NODEMASK_ALLOC slab allocations
Objects passed to NODEMASK_ALLOC() are relatively small in size and are
backed by slab caches that are not of large order, traditionally never
greater than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
Thus, using GFP_KERNEL for these allocations on large machines when
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 will cause the page allocator to loop endlessly in
the allocation attempt, each time invoking both direct reclaim or the oom
killer.
This is of particular interest when using NODEMASK_ALLOC() from a
mempolicy context (either directly in mm/mempolicy.c or the mempolicy
constrained hugetlb allocations) since the oom killer always kills current
when allocations are constrained by mempolicies. So for all present use
cases in the kernel, current would end up being oom killed when direct
reclaim fails. That would allow the NODEMASK_ALLOC() to succeed but
current would have sacrificed itself upon returning.
This patch adds gfp flags to NODEMASK_ALLOC() to pass to kmalloc() on
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8; this parameter is a nop on other configurations.
All current use cases either directly from hugetlb code or indirectly via
NODEMASK_SCRATCH() union __GFP_NORETRY to avoid direct reclaim and the oom
killer when the slab allocator needs to allocate additional pages.
The side-effect of this change is that all current use cases of either
NODEMASK_ALLOC() or NODEMASK_SCRATCH() need appropriate -ENOMEM handling
when the allocation fails (never for CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT <= 8). All
current use cases were audited and do have appropriate error handling at
this time.

* For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation,

* For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask

The fact is, glibc call munmap() when thread exitng time for freeing
stack, and it assume munlock() never fail. However, munmap() often make
vma splitting and it with many mapcount make -ENOMEM.
Oh well, that's crazy, because stack unmapping never increase mapcount.
The maxcount exceeding is only temporary. internal temporary exceeding
shouldn't make ENOMEM.

page-types: exit early when invoked with -d|--describe
On a system with large amount of memory (256GB), invoking page-types can
take quite a long time, which is unreasonable considering the user only
wants a description of the flags:
# time ./page-types -d 0x10
0x0000000000000010 ____D_____________________________ dirty
real 0m34.285s
user 0m1.966s
sys 0m32.313s
This is because we still walk the entire address range.
Exiting early seems like a reasonble solution:

oom: dump stack and VM state when oom killer panics
The oom killer header, including information such as the allocation order
and gfp mask, current's cpuset and memory controller, call trace, and VM
state information is currently only shown when the oom killer has selected
a task to kill.
This information is omitted, however, when the oom killer panics either
because of panic_on_oom sysctl settings or when no killable task was
found. It is still relevant to know crucial pieces of information such as
the allocation order and VM state when diagnosing such issues, especially
at boot.
This patch displays the oom killer header whenever it panics so that bug
reports can include pertinent information to debug the issue, if possible.

hfs: fix a potential buffer overflow
A specially-crafted Hierarchical File System (HFS) filesystem could cause
a buffer overflow to occur in a process's kernel stack during a memcpy()
call within the hfs_bnode_read() function (at fs/hfs/bnode.c:24). The
attacker can provide the source buffer and length, and the destination
buffer is a local variable of a fixed length. This local variable (passed
as "&entry" from fs/hfs/dir.c:112 and allocated on line 60) is stored in
the stack frame of hfs_bnode_read()'s caller, which is hfs_readdir().
Because the hfs_readdir() function executes upon any attempt to read a
directory on the filesystem, it gets called whenever a user attempts to
inspect any filesystem contents.

udf: Avoid IO in udf_clear_inode
It is not very good to do IO in udf_clear_inode. First, VFS does not really
expect inode to become dirty there and thus we have to write it ourselves,
second, memory reclaim gets blocked waiting for IO when it does not really
expect it, third, the IO pattern (e.g. on umount) resulting from writes in
udf_clear_inode is bad and it slows down writing a lot.
The reason why UDF needed to do IO in udf_clear_inode is that UDF standard
mandates extent length to exactly match inode size. But when we allocate
extents to a file or directory, we don't really know what exactly the final
file size will be and thus temporarily set it to block boundary and later
truncate it to exact length in udf_clear_inode. Now, this is changed to
truncate to final file size in udf_release_file for regular files. For
directories and symlinks, we do the truncation at the moment when learn
what the final file size will be.

x86: Remove usedac in feature-removal-schedule.txt
The reason of removal, "replaced by allowdac and no dac
combination" is incorrect. There is no way to do the same thing
with "allowdac" and "nodac" combination.
The usedac option enables us to stop via_no_dac() setting
forbid_dac to 1. That is, someone who uses VIA bridges can use
DAC with this option even if some of VIA bridges seem to be
broken about DAC.

perf bench: Add "all" pseudo subsystem and "all" pseudo suite
This patch adds a new "all" pseudo subsystem and an "all" pseudo
suite. These are for testing all subsystem and its all suite, or
all suite of one subsystem.
(This patch also contains a few trivial comment fixes for
bench/* and output style fixes. I judged that there are no
necessity to make them into individual patch.)
Example of use:
| % ./perf bench sched all # Test all suites of sched subsystem
| # Running sched/messaging benchmark...
| # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
| # 10 groups == 400 processes run
|
| Total time: 0.414 [sec]
|
| # Running sched/pipe benchmark...
| # Extecuted 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks

| Total time: 10.999 [sec]

microblaze: Support for WB cache
Microblaze version 7.20.d is the first MB version which can be run
on MMU linux. Please do not used previous version because they contain
HW bug.
Based on WB support was necessary to redesign whole cache design.
Microblaze versions from 7.20.a don't need to disable IRQ and cache
before working with them that's why there are special structures for it.

microblaze: Remove ancient and fake microblaze version from cpu_ver table
We need to continue with next microblaze PVR version that's why
I have to remove that ancient version. These version strings not match
any versions. From Microblaze v5.00.a is possible to use this style.
I believe that none use ancients versions. If yes they will be just
labeled as unknown version.
Level interrupts need to be ack'd in the unmask handler, as in powerpc.
Among other issues, this bug causes the system clock to appear to run at
double-speed.

microblaze: Fix the heartbeat gpio to be more robust
The device tree handling for the gpio in the heart beat was not handling
the system when there was no gpio and it wasn't working with a newer version
of the gpio core which does not have the is-bidir property.
