In data=journal mode we don't need delalloc or DIO handling in invalidatepage
and similarly in other modes we don't need the journal handling. So split
invalidatepage implementations.

Pull btrfs update from Chris Mason:
 "A big set of fixes and features.

  In terms of line count, most of the code comes from Stefan, who added
  the ability to replace a single drive in place.  This is different
  from how btrfs normally replaces drives, and is much much much faster.

  Josef is plowing through our synchronous write performance.  This pull
  request does not include the DIO_OWN_WAITING patch that was discussed
  on the list, but it has a number of other improvements to cut down our
  latencies and CPU time during fsync/O_DIRECT writes.

  Miao Xie has a big series of fixes and is spreading out ordered
  operations over more CPUs.  This improves performance and reduces
  contention.

  I've put in fixes for error handling around hash collisions.  These
  are going back to individual stable kernels as I test against them.

  Otherwise we have a lot of fixes and cleanups, thanks everyone!
  raid5/6 is being rebased against the device replacement code.  I'll
  have it posted this Friday along with a nice series of benchmarks."

Value 0 is not a tree id, so besides an upper limit, a lower limit is
necessary as well while parsing root types of tracepoint.

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
 "There are two major features for this merge window.  The first is
  inline data, which allows small files or directories to be stored in
  the in-inode extended attribute area.  (This requires that the file
  system use inodes which are at least 256 bytes or larger; 128 byte
  inodes do not have any room for in-inode xattrs.)

  The second new feature is SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA support.  This is
  enabled by the extent status tree patches, and this infrastructure
  will be used to further optimize ext4 in the future.

  Beyond that, we have the usual collection of code cleanups and bug
  fixes."

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
 "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
  (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
  autonuma which is in aa.git.

  In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
  its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
  scheduling.  In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
  desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
  scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.

  The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are

    mel:    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
    mingo:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
    tglx:   https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
    srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397

  The results are a mixed bag.  In my own tests, balancenuma does
  reasonably well.  It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
  mainline.  On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
  incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
  but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts.  Thomas'
  results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
  numacore or autonuma.  Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
  large machine with imbalanced node sizes.

  My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
  dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
  We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
  migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
  There are also cases where it regresses.  Of interest is that for
  specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
  warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
  the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports.  Recently I
  reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
  NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
  this problem is.  Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
  handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case.  It's possible
  numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.

  These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
  with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
  not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

Pull RCU update from Ingo Molnar:
 "The major features of this tree are:

     1. A first version of no-callbacks CPUs.  This version prohibits
        offlining CPU 0, but only when enabled via CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.
        Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready
        for prime time.  These commits were posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724.

     2. Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct
        structures.  These commits were posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/296.

     3. Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output.  These commits were posted
        to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/341.

     4. Additional CPU-hotplug/RCU improvements, posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/327.
        Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to
        be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9.

     5. Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module
        parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to
        their expedited equivalents.  These were posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739.

     6. Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility,
        posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315.
        The most notable change reduces the
        default RCU CPU stall-warning time from 60 seconds to 21 seconds,
        so that it once again happens sooner than the softlockup timeout.

     7. Documentation updates, which were posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/280.
        A couple of late-breaking changes were posted at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/634 and
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/547.

     8. Miscellaneous fixes, which were posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/309.

     9. Finally, a fix for an lockdep-RCU splat was posted to LKML
        at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/7/486."

The maximum oom_score_adj is 1000 and the minimum oom_score_adj is -1000,
so this range can be represented by the signed short type with no
functional change.  The extra space this frees up in struct signal_struct
will be used for per-thread oom kill flags in the next patch.

about migration activity but not the type or the reason. This patch adds
a tracepoint to identify the type of page migration and why the page is
being migrated.
