mm_cgroup() is exclusively used to test whether an mm's mem_cgroup pointer
is pointing to a specific cgroup. Instead of returning the pointer, we can
just do the test itself in a new macro:
vm_match_cgroup(mm, cgroup)
returns non-zero if the mm's mem_cgroup points to cgroup. Otherwise it
returns zero.

Does it ever make sense to ask "is this pte a swap entry?" on a machine
with no MMU? Presumably this also means it has no ptes too, right? In
which case, it's better to comment the whole function out. Then when
someone tries to ask the above meaningless question, they get a compile

Add support for different number of page table levels dependent
on the highest address used for a process. This will cause a 31 bit
process to use a two level page table instead of the four level page
table that is the default after the pud has been introduced. Likewise
a normal 64 bit process will use three levels instead of four. Only
if a process runs out of the 4 tera bytes which can be addressed with
a three level page table the fourth level is dynamically added. Then
the process can use up to 8 peta byte.

Fix the FRV cmpxchg_local by breaking the following header dependency loop :
linux/kernel.h -> linux/bitops.h -> asm-frv/bitops.h -> asm-frv/atomic.h
-> asm-frv/system.h ->
asm-generic/cmpxchg_local.h -> typecheck() defined in linux/kernel.h
and
linux/kernel.h -> linux/bitops.h -> asm-frv/bitops.h -> asm-frv/atomic.h ->
asm-generic/cmpxchg_local.h -> typecheck() defined in linux/kernel.h
In order to fix this :
- Move the atomic_test_and_ *_mask inlines from asm-frv/atomic.h (why are they
there at all anyway ? They are not touching atomic_t variables!) to
asm-frv/bitops.h.
Also fix a build issue with cmpxchg : it does not cast to (unsigned long *)
like other architectures, to deal with it in the cmpxchg_local macro.
FRV builds fine with this patch.

ConnectX HCA supports shrinking WQEs, so that a single work request
can be made of multiple units of wqe_shift. This way, WRs can differ
in size, and do not have to be a power of 2 in size, saving memory and
speeding up send WR posting. Unfortunately, if we do this then the
wqe_index field in CQEs can't be used to look up the WR ID anymore, so
our implementation does this only if selective signaling is off.
Further, on 32-bit platforms, we can't use vmap() to make the QP
buffer virtually contigious. Thus we have to use constant-sized WRs to
make sure a WR is always fully within a single page-sized chunk.
Finally, we use WRs with the NOP opcode to avoid wrapping around the
queue buffer in the middle of posting a WR, and we set the
NoErrorCompletion bit to avoid getting completions with error for NOP
WRs. However, NEC is only supported starting with firmware 2.2.232,
so we use constant-sized WRs for older firmware. And, since MLX QPs
only support SEND, we use constant-sized WRs in this case.
When stamping during NOP posting, do stamping following setting of the
NOP WQE valid bit.

This is base kernel patch for ptrace RSE bug. It's basically a backport
from the utrace RSE patch I sent out several weeks ago. please review.
when a thread is stopped (ptraced), debugger might change thread's user
stack (change memory directly), and we must avoid the RSE stored in
kernel to override user stack (user space's RSE is newer than kernel's
in the case). To workaround the issue, we copy kernel RSE to user RSE
before the task is stopped, so user RSE has updated data. we then copy
user RSE to kernel after the task is resummed from traced stop and
kernel will use the newer RSE to return to user.

Calculate TASK_SIZE at run-time by figuring out the host's VMSPLIT - this is
needed on i386 if UML is to run on hosts with varying VMSPLITs without
recompilation.
TASK_SIZE is now defined in terms of a variable, task_size. This gets rid of
an include of pgtable.h from processor.h, which can cause include loops.
On i386, task_size is calculated early in boot by probing the address space in
a binary search to figure out where the boundary between usable and non-usable
memory is. This tries to make sure that a page that is considered to be in
userspace is, or can be made, read-write. I'm concerned about a system-global
VDSO page in kernel memory being hit and considered to be a userspace page.
On x86_64, task_size is just the old value of CONFIG_TOP_ADDR.
A bunch of config variable are gone now. CONFIG_TOP_ADDR is directly replaced
by TASK_SIZE. NEST_LEVEL is gone since the relocation of the stubs makes it
irrelevant. All the HOST_VMSPLIT stuff is gone. All references to these in
arch/um/Makefile are also gone.
I noticed and fixed a missing extern in os.h when adding os_get_task_size.
Note: This has been revised to fix the 32-bit UML on 64-bit host bug that
Miklos ran into.

Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.
Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).
Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

Probing non-ISA interrupts using the handle_percpu_irq as their handle_irq
method may crash the system because handle_percpu_irq does not check
IRQ_WAITING. This for example hits the MIPS Qemu configuration.
This patch provides two helper functions set_irq_noprobe and set_irq_probe to
set rsp. clear the IRQ_NOPROBE flag. The only current caller is MIPS code
but this really belongs into generic code.
As an aside, interrupt probing these days has become a mostly obsolete if not
dangerous art. I think Linux interrupts should be changed to default to
non-probing but that's subject of this patch.

Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for
implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate
things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are
calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are
just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and
1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores
succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input
is acctually invalid.
This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements
strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly
validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and
returns an error:
write error: Invalid argument
Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of
simple_strtox to reject any invalid input.

Add a new s_options field to struct super_block. Filesystems can save
mount options passed to them in mount or remount. It is automatically
freed when the superblock is destroyed.
A new helper function, generic_show_options() is introduced, which uses
this field to display the mount options in /proc/mounts.
Another helper function, save_mount_options() may be used by
filesystems to save the options in the super block.

Per previous discussions about cleaning up ufs_fs.h, people just want
this straight up dropped from userspace export. The only remaining
consumer (silo) has been fixed a while ago to not rely on this header.
This allows use to move it completely from include/linux/ to fs/ufs/
seeing as how the only in-kernel consumer is fs/ufs/.

When the conversion factor between jiffies and milli- or microseconds is
not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently
do a multiply followed by a divide. The intervening result, however, is
subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for
HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000).
This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for
example.
This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on
32-bit platforms. When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable
way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this
since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on
64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g. on 64-bit s390), but
since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify
the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000).
The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half
of the valid output range. This could be avoided at the expense of having
to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result. Since the intent is
to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only
semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff.
At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute
the necessary constants. We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel
compiles. This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which
is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0.
In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned
constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that
Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table.
Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the
Makefile. Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the
architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r,
m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or
sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the
sh tree.

do_generic_mapping_read was used by gfs2 for internals reads, but this use
of the interface was rather suboptimal (as was the whole interface) and has
been replaced by an internal helper now. This patch kills
do_generic_mapping_read and surrounding damage in preparation of additional
cleanups for the buffered read path.
