63920f4717 uml: xterm driver tidying
Major tidying of the xterm console driver:
	got rid of the tt-mode gdb support
	tidied up the includes
	fixed lots of style violations
	replaced os_* calls with glibc calls in xterm.c
	all printk calls now have a severity indicator
	the error paths of xterm_open are closer to being right

89df6bfc04 uml: DEBUG_SHIRQ fixes
DEBUG_SHIRQ generates spurious interrupts, triggering handlers such as
mconsole_interrupt() or line_interrupt().  They expect data to be available to
be read from their sockets/pipes, but in the case of spurious interrupts, the
host didn't actually send anything, so UML hangs in read() and friends.
Setting those fd's as O_NONBLOCK makes DEBUG_SHIRQ-enabled UML kernels boot
and run correctly.

0a6d3a2a38 uml: fix request->sector update
It is theoretically possible for a request to finish and be freed between
writing it to the I/O thread and updating the sector count.  In this case, the
update will dereference a freed pointer.

To avoid this, I delay the update until processing the next sg segment, when
the request pointer is known to be good.

5c6af69abe fix alpha ISA support
isa_bus_to_virt() is still needed in a few places (lance.c, at least).  When
we switch the kernel to using -Werror-implicit-function-declaration, the lack
of isa_bus_to_virt() breaks alpha allmodconfig builds.

Add isa_bus_to_virt() and deprecate the ezisting ISA APIs, though it might be
better to define these functions as BUG(), since virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt just
do wrong things on a number of machines.

of the list of buffers, it will try again on the next buffer.  If the file was

sparsemem extreme.  With this, we're rid of the last set of restrictions

6193a2ff18 slob: initial NUMA support
This adds preliminary NUMA support to SLOB, primarily aimed at systems with
small nodes (tested all the way down to a 128kB SRAM block), whether
asymmetric or otherwise.

We follow the same conventions as SLAB/SLUB, preferring current node
placement for new pages, or with explicit placement, if a node has been
specified.  Presently on UP NUMA this has the side-effect of preferring
node#0 allocations (since numa_node_id() == 0, though this could be
reworked if we could hand off a pfn to determine node placement), so
single-CPU NUMA systems will want to place smaller nodes further out in
terms of node id.  Once a page has been bound to a node (via explicit node
id typing), we only do block allocations from partial free pages that have
a matching node id in the page flags.

The current implementation does have some scalability problems, in that all
partial free pages are tracked in the global freelist (with contention due
to the single spinlock).  However, these are things that are being reworked
for SMP scalability first, while things like per-node freelists can easily
be built on top of this sort of functionality once it's been added.

More background can be found in:

init_currently_empty_zone(), which too is __meminit.  So make it static and

140d5a4904 numa: mempolicy: trivial debug fixes.
Enabling debugging fails to build due to the nodemask variable in
do_mbind() having changed names, and then oopses on boot due to the
assumption that the nodemask can be dereferenced -- which doesn't work out
so well when the policy is changed to MPOL_DEFAULT with a NULL nodemask by
numa_default_policy().

This fixes it up, and switches from PDprintk() to pr_debug() while
we're at it.

b71636e298 numa: mempolicy: dynamic interleave map for system init
This converts the default system init memory policy to use a dynamically
created node map instead of defaulting to all online nodes.  Nodes of a
certain size (>= 16MB) are judged to be suitable for interleave, and are added
to the map.  If all nodes are smaller in size, the largest one is
automatically selected.

Without this, tiny nodes find themselves out of memory before we even make it
to userspace.  Systems with large nodes will notice no change.

Only the system init policy is effected by this change, the regular
MPOL_DEFAULT policy is still switched to later on in the boot process as
normal.

f0630fff54 SLUB: support slub_debug on by default
Add a new configuration variable

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON

If set then the kernel will be booted by default with slab debugging
switched on. Similar to CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG. By default slab debugging
is available but must be enabled by specifying "slub_debug" as a
kernel parameter.

Also add support to switch off slab debugging for a kernel that was
built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. This works by specifying

slub_debug=-

as a kernel parameter.

Dave Jones wanted this feature.

fc9a07e7bf invalidate_mapping_pages(): add cond_resched
invalidate_mapping_pages() can sometimes take a long time (millions of pages
to free).  Long enough for the softlockup detector to trigger.

We used to have a cond_resched() in there but I took it out because the
drop_caches code calls invalidate_mapping_pages() under inode_lock.

The patch adds a nasty flag and puts the cond_resched() back.

45426812d6 mm: debug check for the fault vs invalidate race
Add a bugcheck for Andrea's pagefault vs invalidate race.  This is triggerable
for both linear and nonlinear pages with a userspace test harness (using
direct IO and truncate, respectively).

f96efd585b hugetlb: fix race in alloc_fresh_huge_page()
That static `nid' index needs locking.  Without it we can end up calling
alloc_pages_node() with an illegal node ID and the kernel crashes.

553948491c slob: improved alignment handling
Remove the core slob allocator's minimum alignment restrictions, and instead
introduce the alignment restrictions at the slab API layer.  This lets us heed
the ARCH_KMALLOC/SLAB_MINALIGN directives, and also use __alignof__ (unsigned
long) for the default alignment (which should allow relaxed alignment
architectures to take better advantage of SLOB's small minimum alignment).

d87a133fc2 slob: remove bigblock tracking
Remove the bigblock lists in favour of using compound pages and going directly
to the page allocator.  Allocation size is stored in page->private, which also
makes ksize more accurate than it previously was.

Saves ~.5K of code, and 12-24 bytes overhead per >= PAGE_SIZE allocation.

95b35127f1 slob: rework freelist handling
Improve slob by turning the freelist into a list of pages using struct page
fields, then each page has a singly linked freelist of slob blocks via a
pointer in the struct page.

- The first benefit is that the slob freelists can be indexed by a smaller
  type (2 bytes, if the PAGE_SIZE is reasonable).

- Next is that freeing is much quicker because it does not have to traverse
  the entire freelist. Allocation can be slightly faster too, because we can
  skip almost-full freelist pages completely.

- Slob pages are then freed immediately when they become empty, rather than
  having a periodic timer try to free them. This gives efficiency and memory
  consumption improvement.

Then, we don't encode seperate size and next fields into each slob block,
rather we use the sign bit to distinguish between "size" or "next". Then
size 1 blocks contain a "next" offset, and others contain the "size" in
the first unit and "next" in the second unit.

- This allows minimum slob allocation alignment to go from 8 bytes to 2
  bytes on 32-bit and 12 bytes to 2 bytes on 64-bit. In practice, it is
  best to align them to word size, however some architectures (eg. cris)
  could gain space savings from turning off this extra alignment.

Then, make kmalloc use its own slob_block at the front of the allocation
in order to encode allocation size, rather than rely on not overwriting
slob's existing header block.

- This reduces kmalloc allocation overhead similarly to alignment reductions.

- Decouples kmalloc layer from the slob allocator.

Then, add a page flag specific to slob pages.

- This means kfree of a page aligned slob block doesn't have to traverse
  the bigblock list.

I would get benchmarks, but my test box's network doesn't come up with
slob before this patch. I think something is timing out. Anyway, things
are faster after the patch.

Code size goes up about 1K, however dynamic memory usage _should_ be
lower even on relatively small memory systems.

Future todo item is to restore the cyclic free list search, rather than
to always begin at the start.

1037b83bd0 MM: alloc_large_system_hash() can free some memory for non power-of-two bucketsize
alloc_large_system_hash() is called at boot time to allocate space for
several large hash tables.

Lately, TCP hash table was changed and its bucketsize is not a power-of-two
anymore.

On most setups, alloc_large_system_hash() allocates one big page (order >
0) with __get_free_pages(GFP_ATOMIC, order).  This single high_order page
has a power-of-two size, bigger than the needed size.

We can free all pages that wont be used by the hash table.

On a 1GB i386 machine, this patch saves 128 KB of LOWMEM memory.

TCP established hash table entries: 32768 (order: 6, 393216 bytes)
