Repair mechanism was considered too wordy. Now, messages are only
unconditionally emitted if the return object cannot be repaired.
Existing messages for successful repairs were converted to
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT messages for now. ACPICA BZ 827.

Implement selftest feature as specified by chip manufacturer. Control:
read selftest sysfs entry
Response: "OK x y z" or "FAIL x y z"
where x, y, and z are difference between selftest mode and normal mode.
Test is passed when values are within acceptance limit values.
Acceptance limits are provided via platform data. See chip spesifications
for acceptance limits. If limits are not properly set, OK / FAIL decision
is meaningless. However, userspace application can still make decision
based on the numeric x, y, z values.
Selftest is meant for HW diagnostic purposes. It is not meant to be
called during normal use of the chip. It may cause false interrupt
events. Selftest mode delays polling of the normal results but it doesn't
cause wrong values. Chip must be in static state during selftest. Any
acceration during the test causes most probably failure.

Allow the use of another DMA controller driver in atmel-mci sd/mmc driver.
This adds a generic dma_slave pointer to the mci platform structure where
we can store DMA controller information. In atmel-mci we use information
provided by this structure to initialize the driver (with new helper
functions that are architecture dependant).
This also adds at32/avr32 chip modifications to cope with this new access
method.

Recently, We marked strstrip() as must_check. because it was frequently
misused and it should be checked. However, we found one exception.
scsi/ipr.c intentionally ignore return value of strstrip. Because it
wishes to keep the whitespace at the beginning.
Thus we need to keep with and without checked whitespace trim function.
This patch adds a new strim() and changes ipr.c to use it.

On the following sentence:
while (*s && isspace(*s))
s++;
If *s == 0, isspace() evaluates to ((_ctype[*s] & 0x20) != 0), which
evaluates to ((0x08 & 0x20) != 0) which equals to 0 as well.
If *s == 1, we depend on isspace() result anyway. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space", so remove this check.
Also, *s != 0 is most common case (non-null string).

The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to
redirect the kernel messages to a specific console.
However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console
after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic
message on the current console.
This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect
variable by a function to be able to use it in code where
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c).
This patch:
Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a
function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where
messages are printed.
Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c)
to the new interface.
The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

This is based on the old code on arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c, except it's
not x86 specific, it's modular, and it makes use of a PCI BAR rather than
a random MSR. Currently module unloading is not supported; it's uncertain
whether or not it can be made work with the hardware.

This creates a CS5535/CS5536 GPIO driver which uses a gpio_chip backend
(allowing GPIO users to use the generic GPIO API if desired) while also
allowing architecture-specific users directly (via the cs5535_gpio_*
functions).
Tested on an OLPC machine. Some Leemotes also use CS5536 (with a mips
cpu), which is why this is in drivers/gpio rather than arch/x86.
Currently, it conflicts with older geode GPIO support; once MFGPT support
is reworked to also be more generic, the older geode code will be removed.

rwsem_is_locked() tests ->activity without locks, so we should always keep
->activity consistent. However, the code in __rwsem_do_wake() breaks this
rule, it updates ->activity after _all_ readers waken up, this may give
some reader a wrong ->activity value, thus cause rwsem_is_locked() behaves
wrong.
Quote from Andrew:
"
- we have one or more processes sleeping in down_read(), waiting for access.
- we wake one or more processes up without altering ->activity
- they start to run and they do rwsem_is_locked(). This incorrectly
returns "false", because the waker process is still crunching away in
__rwsem_do_wake().
- the waker now alters ->activity, but it was too late.
"
So we need get a spinlock to protect this. And rwsem_is_locked() should
not block, thus we use spin_trylock_irqsave().

The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory. While this
is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace
under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is
allowed to return uninitialized memory. This can easily be a significant
performance penalty. So for constrained embedded systems were security is
irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily.
This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised
memory for the brk and stack region.

This patch enables extraction of the pfn of a hugepage from
/proc/pid/pagemap in an architecture independent manner.
Details
-------
My test program (leak_pagemap) works as follows:
- creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,)
- read()/write() something on it,
- call page-types with option -p,
- munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs

The previous patch enables page migration of ksm pages, but that soon gets
into trouble: not surprising, since we're using the ksm page lock to lock
operations on its stable_node, but page migration switches the page whose
lock is to be used for that. Another layer of locking would fix it, but
do we need that yet?
Do we actually need page migration of ksm pages? Yes, memory hotremove
needs to offline sections of memory: and since we stopped allocating ksm
pages with GFP_HIGHUSER, they will tend to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE
candidates for migration.
But KSM is currently unconscious of NUMA issues, happily merging pages
from different NUMA nodes: at present the rule must be, not to use
MADV_MERGEABLE where you care about NUMA. So no, NUMA page migration of
ksm pages does not make sense yet.
So, to complete support for ksm swapping we need to make hotremove safe.
ksm_memory_callback() take ksm_thread_mutex when MEM_GOING_OFFLINE and
release it when MEM_OFFLINE or MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE. But if mapped pages
are freed before migration reaches them, stable_nodes may be left still
pointing to struct pages which have been removed from the system: the
stable_node needs to identify a page by pfn rather than page pointer, then
it can safely prune them when MEM_OFFLINE.
And make NUMA migration skip PageKsm pages where it skips PageReserved.
But it's only when we reach unmap_and_move() that the page lock is taken
and we can be sure that raised pagecount has prevented a PageAnon from
being upgraded: so add offlining arg to migrate_pages(), to migrate ksm
page when offlining (has sufficient locking) but reject it otherwise.

A side-effect of making ksm pages swappable is that they have to be placed
on the LRUs: which then exposes them to isolate_lru_page() and hence to
page migration.
Add rmap_walk() for remove_migration_ptes() to use: rmap_walk_anon() and
rmap_walk_file() in rmap.c, but rmap_walk_ksm() in ksm.c. Perhaps some
consolidation with existing code is possible, but don't attempt that yet
(try_to_unmap needs to handle nonlinears, but migration pte removal does
not).
rmap_walk() is sadly less general than it appears: rmap_walk_anon(), like
remove_anon_migration_ptes() which it replaces, avoids calling
page_lock_anon_vma(), because that includes a page_mapped() test which
fails when all migration ptes are in place. That was valid when NUMA page
migration was introduced (holding mmap_sem provided the missing guarantee
that anon_vma's slab had not already been destroyed), but I believe not
valid in the memory hotremove case added since.
For now do the same as before, and consider the best way to fix that
unlikely race later on. When fixed, we can probably use rmap_walk() on
hwpoisoned ksm pages too: for now, they remain among hwpoison's various
exceptions (its PageKsm test comes before the page is locked, but its
page_lock_anon_vma fails safely if an anon gets upgraded).

For full functionality, page_referenced_one() and try_to_unmap_one() need
to know the vma: to pass vma down to arch-dependent flushes, or to observe
VM_LOCKED or VM_EXEC. But KSM keeps no record of vma: nor can it, since
vmas get split and merged without its knowledge.
Instead, note page's anon_vma in its rmap_item when adding to stable tree:
all the vmas which might map that page are listed by its anon_vma.
page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm() then traverse the anon_vma,
first to find the probable vma, that which matches rmap_item's mm; but if
that is not enough to locate all instances, traverse again to try the
others. This catches those occasions when fork has duplicated a pte of a
ksm page, but ksmd has not yet come around to assign it an rmap_item.
But each rmap_item in the stable tree which refers to an anon_vma needs to
take a reference to it. Andrea's anon_vma design cleverly avoided a
reference count (an anon_vma was free when its list of vmas was empty),
but KSM now needs to add that. Is a 32-bit count sufficient? I believe
so - the anon_vma is only free when both count is 0 and list is empty.

Initial implementation for swapping out KSM's shared pages: add
page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm(), which rmap.c calls when
faced with a PageKsm page.
Most of what's needed can be got from the rmap_items listed from the
stable_node of the ksm page, without discovering the actual vma: so in
this patch just fake up a struct vma for page_referenced_one() or
try_to_unmap_one(), then refine that in the next patch.
Add VM_NONLINEAR to ksm_madvise()'s list of exclusions: it has always been
implicit there (being only set with VM_SHARED, already excluded), but
let's make it explicit, to help justify the lack of nonlinear unmap.
Rely on the page lock to protect against concurrent modifications to that
page's node of the stable tree.
The awkward part is not swapout but swapin: do_swap_page() and
page_add_anon_rmap() now have to allow for new possibilities - perhaps a
ksm page still in swapcache, perhaps a swapcache page associated with one
location in one anon_vma now needed for another location or anon_vma.
(And the vma might even be no longer VM_MERGEABLE when that happens.)
ksm_might_need_to_copy() checks for that case, and supplies a duplicate
page when necessary, simply leaving it to a subsequent pass of ksmd to
rediscover the identity and merge them back into one ksm page.
Disappointingly primitive: but the alternative would have to accumulate
unswappable info about the swapped out ksm pages, limiting swappability.
Remove page_add_ksm_rmap(): page_add_anon_rmap() now has to allow for the
particular case it was handling, so just use it instead.

Add a pointer to the ksm page into struct stable_node, holding a reference
to the page while the node exists. Put a pointer to the stable_node into
the ksm page's ->mapping.
Then we don't need get_ksm_page() while traversing the stable tree: the
page to compare against is sure to be present and correct, even if it's no
longer visible through any of its existing rmap_items.
And we can handle the forked ksm page case more efficiently: no need to
memcmp our way through the tree to find its match.

Remove three degrees of obfuscation, left over from when we had
CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU. MLOCK_PAGES is CONFIG_HAVE_MLOCKED_PAGE_BIT is
CONFIG_HAVE_MLOCK is CONFIG_MMU. rmap.o (and memory-failure.o) are only
built when CONFIG_MMU, so don't need such conditions at all.
Somehow, I feel no compulsion to remove the CONFIG_HAVE_MLOCK* lines from
169 defconfigs: leave those to evolve in due course.

At present we define PageAnon(page) by the low PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit set
in page->mapping, with the higher bits a pointer to the anon_vma; and have
defined PageKsm(page) as that with NULL anon_vma.
But KSM swapping will need to store a pointer there: so in preparation for
that, now define PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS as the low two bits, including
PAGE_MAPPING_KSM (always set along with PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, until some
other use for the bit emerges).
Declare page_rmapping(page) to return the pointer part of page->mapping,
and page_anon_vma(page) to return the anon_vma pointer when that's what it
is. Use these in a few appropriate places: notably, unuse_vma() has been
testing page->mapping, but is better to be testing page_anon_vma() (cases
may be added in which flag bits are set without any pointer).

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.

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.

Seems that page_io.c doesn't really need to know that page_private(page)
is the swp_entry 'val'. Rework map_swap_page() to do what its name says
and map a page to a page offset in the swap space.
The only other caller of map_swap_page() is internal to mm/swapfile.c and
it does want to map a swap entry to the 'sector'. So rename
map_swap_page() to map_swap_entry(), make it 'static' and and implement
map_swap_page() as a wrapper around that.

While we're fiddling with the swap_map values, let's assign a particular
value to shmem/tmpfs swap pages: their swap counts are never incremented,
and it helps swapoff's try_to_unuse() a little if it can immediately
distinguish those pages from process pages.
Since we've no use for SWAP_MAP_BAD | COUNT_CONTINUED,
we might as well use that 0xbf value for SWAP_MAP_SHMEM.

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.

Though swap_count() is useful, I'm finding that swap_has_cache() and
encode_swapmap() obscure what happens in the swap_map entry, just at
those points where I need to understand it. Remove them, and pass
more usable "usage" values to scan_swap_map(), swap_entry_free() and
__swap_duplicate(), instead of the SWAP_MAP and SWAP_CACHE enum.

Make better use of the space by folding first swap_extent into its

The swap_info_struct is only 76 or 104 bytes, but it does seem wrong
to reserve an array of about 30 of them in bss, when most people will
want only one. Change swap_info[] to an array of pointers.
That does need a "type" field in the structure: pack it as a char with
next type and short prio (aha, char is unsigned by default on PowerPC).
Use the (admittedly peculiar) name "type" throughout for this index.
/proc/swaps does not take swap_lock: I wouldn't want it to, but do take
care with barriers when adding a new item to the array (never removed).

The swap_info_struct is mostly private to mm/swapfile.c, with only
one other in-tree user: get_swap_bio(). Adjust its interface to
map_swap_page(), so that we can then remove get_swap_info_struct().
But there is a popular user out-of-tree, TuxOnIce: so leave the
declaration of swap_info_struct in linux/swap.h.
