spinlocks v2
[Andrew this should replace the previous version which did not check
the returns from the region prepare for errors. This has been tested by
us and Gerald and it looks good.
Bah, while reviewing the locking based on your previous email I spotted
that we need to check the return from the vma_needs_reservation call for
allocation errors. Here is an updated patch to correct this. This passes
testing here.]

In the normal case, hugetlbfs reserves hugepages at map time so that the
pages exist for future faults. A struct file_region is used to track when
reservations have been consumed and where. These file_regions are
allocated as necessary with kmalloc() which can sleep with the
mm->page_table_lock held. This is wrong and triggers may-sleep warning
when PREEMPT is enabled.
Updates to the underlying file_region are done in two phases. The first
phase prepares the region for the change, allocating any necessary memory,
without actually making the change. The second phase actually commits the
change. This patch makes use of this by checking the reservations before
the page_table_lock is taken; triggering any necessary allocations. This
may then be safely repeated within the locks without any allocations being
required.
Credit to Mel Gorman for diagnosing this failure and initial versions of
the patch.

These attributes are really sysdev class attributes. The incorrect
definition leads to an oops because of recent changes which make sysdev
attributes use a different prototype.

The s390 software large page emulation implements shared page tables by
using page->index of the first tail page from a compound large page to
store page table information. This is set up in arch_prepare_hugepage(),
which is called from alloc_fresh_huge_page_node().
A similar call to arch_prepare_hugepage() is missing for surplus large
pages that are allocated in alloc_buddy_huge_page(), which breaks the
software emulation mode for (surplus) large pages on s390. This patch
adds the missing call to arch_prepare_hugepage(). It will have no effect
on other architectures where arch_prepare_hugepage() is a nop.
Also, use the correct order in the error path in alloc_fresh_huge_page_node().

OK indeed it did have a couple of bugs. Firstly, I wasn't freeing the
data properly in the alloc && wait case. Secondly, I wasn't resetting
CSD_FLAG_WAIT in the for each cpu loop (so only the first CPU would
wait).
After those fixes, the patch boots and runs with the kmalloc commented
out (so it always executes the slowpath).

commit 611e097d7707741a336a0677d9d69bec40f29f3d
Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
introduced a spinlock recursion problem.
request_irq tries to call the handler if the IRQ is shared.
The irq handler of hvc_console calls hvc_poll and hvc_kill
which might take the hvc_struct spinlock. Therefore, we have
to call request_irq outside the spinlock.
We can move the notifier_add safely outside the spinlock as ->data must
not be changed by the backend. Otherwise, tty_hangup would fail anyway.

The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug"
on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to
execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes
it will
1) print if it had an error code
2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off)
and
3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds.
While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving
number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that
the same thing was done for module loading.
This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's
a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late
binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding
where things are too slow in my boot.

Using a simple page table thrashing program I measure a slight
improvement. The program creates five processes. Each touches 1000
pages then schedules the next process. We repeat this 1000 times. As
lguest only caches 4 cr3 values, this rebuilds a lot of shadow page
tables requiring virt->phys mappings.
Before: 5.93 seconds
After: 5.40 seconds
(Counts of slow vs fastpath in this usage are 6092 and 2852462 respectively.)
And more importantly for lguest, the code is simpler.

On my Intel chipset (965GM), the GTT is entirely erased across
suspend/resume. This patch simply re-plays the current mapping at resume
time to restore the table.=20
I noticed this once I started relying on persistent GTT mappings across VT
switch in our GEM work -- the old X server and DRM code carefully unbind
all memory from the GTT on VT switch, but GEM does not bother.
I placed the list management and rewrite code in the generic layer on the
assumption that it will be needed on other hardware, but I did not add the
rewrite call to anything other than the Intel resume function.
Keep a list of current GATT mappings. At resume time, rewrite them into
the GATT. This is needed on Intel (at least) as the entire GATT is
cleared across suspend/resume.

fails
I think the intent was that if no bridges matched agp_amd64_pci_table[],
we would fall back to checking for any bridge with the AGP capability.
But in the current code, we execute the fallback path only when
pci_register_driver() itself fails, which is unrelated to whether any
matching devices were found.
This patch counts the AGP bridges found in the probe() method and executes
the fallback path when none is found.

While testing our KVM code for s390 (starting and killall kvm in a loop)
I can reproduce the following oops:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops
It seems that tty was already free in disassocate_ctty when it tries
to dereference tty->driver.
After moving the lock_kernel before the mutex_unlock, I can no longer
reproduce the problem.
[ This is a temporary partial fix for the documented and long standing
race in disassociate_tty. This stops most problem cases for now.
For the next release the -next tree has an initial implementation of
kref counting for tty structures and this quickfix will be dropped.
