initmpfs: use initramfs if rootfstype= or root= specified

2013-09-11T22:59:38Z

Command line option rootfstype=ramfs to obtain old initramfs behavior, and use ramfs instead of tmpfs for stub when root= defined (for cosmetic reasons).

initmpfs: make rootfs use tmpfs when CONFIG_TMPFS enabled

2013-09-11T22:59:37Z

Conditionally call the appropriate fs_init function and fill_super functions. Add a use once guard to shmem_init() to simply succeed on a second call. (Note that IS_ENABLED() is a compile time constant so dead code elimination removes unused function calls when CONFIG_TMPFS is disabled.)

initmpfs: move rootfs code from fs/ramfs/ to init/

2013-09-11T22:59:37Z

When the rootfs code was a wrapper around ramfs, having them in the same file made sense. Now that it can wrap another filesystem type, move it in with the init code instead. This also allows a subsequent patch to access rootfstype= command line arg.

memcg: get rid of swapaccount leftovers

2013-08-23T16:51:22Z

The swapaccount kernel parameter without any values has been removed by commit a2c8990aed5a ("memsw: remove noswapaccount kernel parameter") but it seems that we didn't get rid of all the left overs. Make sure that menuconfig help text and kernel-parameters.txt are clear about value for the paramter and remove the stalled comment which is not very much useful on its own.

rcu: Select IRQ_WORK from TREE_PREEMPT_RCU

2013-08-19T00:40:25Z

TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU both cause kernel/rcutree.c to be built, but only TREE_RCU selects IRQ_WORK, which can result in an undefined reference to irq_work_queue for some (random) configs: kernel/built-in.o In function `rcu_start_gp_advanced': kernel/rcutree.c:1564: undefined reference to `irq_work_queue' Select IRQ_WORK from TREE_PREEMPT_RCU too to fix this.
