The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq are
more robust for comparing jiffies against other values.
So use the time_after() & time_before() macros, defined at linux/jiffies.h,
which deal with wrapping correctly

show_mem() has no need to print the amount of free swap space manually because
show_free_areas() does this already and is called by the former.
The two outputs only differ in text formatting:
printk("Free swap = %lukB\n", ...);
printk("Free swap: %6ldkB\n", ...);

IA64's IOMMU implementation allocates memory areas spanning LLD's segment
boundary limit. It forces low level drivers to have a workaround to adjust
scatter lists that the IOMMU builds.
We are in the process of making all the IOMMUs respect the segment boundary
limits to remove such work around in LLDs. This patch is for IA64's IOMMU.

Add kprobe-booster support on ia64.
Kprobe-booster improves the performance of kprobes by eliminating single-step,
where possible. Currently, kprobe-booster is implemented on x86 and x86-64.
This is an ia64 port.
On ia64, kprobe-booster executes a copied bundle directly, instead of single
stepping. Bundles which have B or X unit and which may cause an exception
(including break) are not executed directly. And also, to prevent hitting
break exceptions on the copied bundle, only the hindmost kprobe is executed
directly if several kprobes share a bundle and are placed in different slots.
Note: set_brl_inst() is used for preparing an instruction buffer(it does not
modify any active code), so it does not need any atomic operation.

The sys_getpid() and sys_set_tid_address() behavior changed from
return current->tgid
to
struct pid *pid;
pid = current->pids[PIDTYPE_PID].pid;
return pid->numbers[pid->level].nr;
But the fast system calls on ia64 still operate the old way. Patch them
appropriately to let ia64 work with pid namespaces. Besides, this is one more
step in deprecating of pid and tgid on task_struct.
The fsys_getppid() is to be patched as well, but its logic is much
more complex now, so I will make it later.
One thing I'm not 100% sure is the trick with the IA64_UPID_SHIFT. On order
to access the pid->level's element of an array I have to perform the following
calculations
pid + sizeof(struct upid) * pid->level
The problem is that ia64 can only multiply float point registers, while all
the offsets I have in code are in rXX ones. Fortunately, the sizeof(struct
upid) is 32 bytes on ia64 (and is very unlikely to ever change), so the
calculations get simpler:
pid + pid->level << 5
So, I introduce the IA64_UPID_SHIFT and use the shl instruction. I also
looked at how gcc compiles the similar place and found that it makes it with
shift as well. Is this OK to do so?

While it is convenient that we can invoke kdump by asserting INIT
via button on chassis etc., there are some situations that invoking
kdump on fatal MCA is not welcomed rather than rebooting fast without
dump.
This patch adds a new flag 'kdump_on_fatal_mca' that is independent
from 'kdump_on_init' currently available. Adding this flag enable
us to turning on/off of kdump depend on the event, INIT and/or fatal
MCA. Default for this flag is to take the dump.

Fix kernel oops due to machine check occuring in init_chipset_siimage() on PPC
44x platforms. These 32-bit CPUs have 36-bit physical address and PCI I/O and
memory spaces are mapped beyond 4 GB; arch/ppc/ code has a fixup in ioremap()
that creates an illusion of the PCI I/O and memory resources being mapped below
4 GB, while arch/powerpc/ code got rid of this fixup with PPC 44x having instead
CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT=y -- this causes the resources to be truncated to 32-bit
'unsigned long' type in this driver, and so non-existant memory being ioremap'ed
and then accessed...

The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host
we don't need callbacks now. As it is not reliable, the debug check is
overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time. Document this.
Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable
callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance
protection can be easily tripped even on UP.

ASM_NOP's for 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is broken
with the recent x86 nops merge. They were using GENERIC_NOPS
which will truncate the upper 32bits of %rsi, because of the missing
64bit rex prefix.
For now, fall back ASM NOPS for generic cpu to K8 NOPS, similar
to the code before the wrong x86 nop merge.
This should resolve the crash seen by Ingo on a test-system:

In time_cpufreq_notifier() the cpu id to act upon is held in freq->cpu. Use it
instead of smp_processor_id() in the call to set_cyc2ns_scale().
This makes the preempt_*able() unnecessary and lets set_cyc2ns_scale() update
the intended cpu's cyc2ns.

Since 2.6.25-rc7, I've been seeing an occasional livelock on one x86_64
machine, copying kernel trees to tmpfs, paging out to swap.
Signature: 6000 pages under writeback but never getting written; most
tasks of interest trying to reclaim, but each get_swap_bio waiting for a
bio in mempool_alloc's io_schedule_timeout(5*HZ); every five seconds an
atomic page allocation failure report from kblockd failing to allocate a
sense_buffer in __scsi_get_command.
__scsi_get_command has a (one item) free_list to protect against this,
but rc1's [SCSI] use dynamically allocated sense buffer
de25deb18016f66dcdede165d07654559bb332bc upset that slightly. When it
fails to allocate from the separate sense_slab, instead of giving up, it
must fall back to the command free_list, which is sure to have a
sense_buffer attached.
Either my earlier -rc testing missed this, or there's some recent
contributory factor. One very significant factor is SLUB, which merges
slab caches when it can, and on 64-bit happens to merge both bio cache
and sense_slab cache into kmalloc's 128-byte cache: so that under this
swapping load, bios above are liable to gobble up all the slots needed
for scsi_cmnd sense_buffers below.
That's disturbing behaviour, and I tried a few things to fix it. Adding
a no-op constructor to the sense_slab inhibits SLUB from merging it, and
stops all the allocation failures I was seeing; but it's rather a hack,
and perhaps in different configurations we have other caches on the
swapout path which are ill-merged.
Another alternative is to revert the separate sense_slab, using
cache-line-aligned sense_buffer allocated beyond scsi_cmnd from the one
kmem_cache; but that might waste more memory, and is only a way of
diverting around the known problem.
While I don't like seeing the allocation failures, and hate the idea of
all those bios piled up above a scsi host working one by one, it does
seem to emerge fairly soon with the livelock fix. So lacking better
ideas, stick with that one clear fix for now.

In 2.6.14 a patch was merged which switching the order of the ipmi device
naming from in-order-of-discovery over to reverse-order-of-discovery.
So on systems with multiple BMC interfaces, the ipmi device names are being
created in reverse order relative to how they are discovered on the system
(e.g. on an IBM x3950 multinode server with N nodes, the device name for the
BMC in the first node is /dev/ipmiN-1 and the device name for the BMC in the
last node is /dev/ipmi0, etc.).
The problem is caused by the list handling routines chosen in dmi_scan.c.
Using list_add() causes the multiple ipmi devices to be added to the device
list using a stack-paradigm and so the ipmi driver subsequently pulls them off
during initialization in LIFO order. This patch changes the
dmi_save_ipmi_device() list handling paradigm to a queue, thereby allowing the
ipmi driver to build the ipmi device names in the order in which they are
found on the system.

THe CFI driver in 2.6.24 kernel is broken. Not so intensive read/write
operations cause incomplete writes which lead to kernel panics in JFFS2.
We investigated the issue - it is caused by bug in FL_SHUTDOWN parsing code.
Sometimes chip returns -EIO as if it is in FL_SHUTDOWN state when it should
wait in FL_PONT (error in order of conditions).
The following patch fixes the bug in state parsing code of CFI. Also I've
added comments to notify developers if they want to add new case in future.

A boot option for the memory controller was discussed on lkml. It is a good
idea to add it, since it saves memory for people who want to turn off the
memory controller.
By default the option is on for the following two reasons:
1. It provides compatibility with the current scheme where the memory
controller turns on if the config option is enabled
2. It allows for wider testing of the memory controller, once the config
option is enabled
We still allow the create, destroy callbacks to succeed, since they are not
aware of boot options. We do not populate the directory will memory resource
controller specific files.

The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:
- foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy
- foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem
As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time;
all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on
a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata)
are up to the foo subsystem.
This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be,
but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems
wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing
since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run.

Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than
processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead
to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to
1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page).
I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or
without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.
Unix bench's execl test result on x86_64 was
== just after boot without mounting any cgroup fs.==
mem_cgorup=off : Execl Throughput 43.0 3150.1 732.6
mem_cgroup=on : Execl Throughput 43.0 2932.6 682.0
