The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches
have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no
essential function for the VM.
We use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most
severe races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between
an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics
counter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one
increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that
the vm event counters have to be accurate.
In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each
counter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a
single instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64.
And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for
both architectures in most cases.
The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a
building of linux kernels without these counters.
The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully
results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted
(i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction
concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done).
Benefits:
- VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction
on i386 and x86_64.
- No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case.
Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock.
- Handling is similar to zoned VM counters.
- Simple and easily extendable.
- Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

Manual fixup of conflict in unclude/linux/inotify.h

In this implementation, audit registers inotify watches on the parent
directories of paths specified in audit rules. When audit's inotify
event handler is called, it updates any affected rules based on the
filesystem event. If the parent directory is renamed, removed, or its
filesystem is unmounted, audit removes all rules referencing that
inotify watch.
To keep things simple, this implementation limits location-based
auditing to the directory entries in an existing directory. Given
a path-based rule for /foo/bar/passwd, the following table applies:
passwd modified -- audit event logged
passwd replaced -- audit event logged, rules list updated
bar renamed -- rule removed
foo renamed -- untracked, meaning that the rule now applies to
the new location
Audit users typically want to have many rules referencing filesystem
objects, which can significantly impact filtering performance. This
patch also adds an inode-number-based rule hash to mitigate this
situation.
The patch is relative to the audit git tree:
http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/audit-current.git;a=summary

When we fail to mount from a valid root device list out the filesystems we
have tried to mount it with. This gives the user vital diagnostics as to
what is missing from their kernel.
For example in the fragment below the kernel does not have CRAMFS compiled
into the kernel and yet appears to recognise it at the RAMDISK detect
stage. Later the mount fails as we don't have the filesystem.

Copy the filenames of hardlinks when inserting them into the hash, since
the "name" pointer may point to scratch space (name_buf). Not doing so
results in corruption if the scratch space is later overwritten: the wrong
file may be hardlinked, or, if the scratch space contains garbage, the link
will fail and a 0-byte file will be created instead.

Since the addition of boot_cpu_init(), fixup_cpu_present_map() has been a
no-op. That's because fixup_cpu_present_map() won't touch cpu_present_map if
it has any bits set, and boot_cpu_init() sets a bit.
So remove fixup_cpu_present_map().
A consequence of this (actually of the boot_cpu_init() change) is that the
architecture _must_ populate cpu_present_map itself (probably in
smp_prepare_cpus()). fixup_cpu_present_map() won't do it any more.
If the architecture doesn't do this, it'll only bring up a single CPU.
The other side effect (though less serious) is that smp_prepare_boot_cpu() no
longer needs to mark the boot cpu in the online and present maps -
boot_cpu_init() does that for everyone (to make early printks work).

Initramfs initrd images do not need a ramdisk device, so remove this
restriction in Kconfig. BLK_DEV_RAM=n saves about 13k on i386. Also
without ramdisk device there's no need for "dry run", so initramfs unpacks
much faster.
People using cramfs, squashfs, or gzipped ext2/minix initrd images are
probably smart enough not to turn off ramdisk support by accident.

We presently ignore the return values from initcalls. But that can carry
useful debugging information. So print it out if it's non-zero.
It turns out the -ENODEV happens quite a lot, due to built-in drivers which
have no hardware to drive. So suppress that unless initcall_debug was
specified.
Also make the warning message more friendly by printing the name of the
initcall function.
Also drop the KERN_DEBUG from the initcall_debug message. If we specified
inticall_debug then we obviously want to see the messages.

The meaning of MS_VERBOSE is backwards; if the bit is set, it really means,
"don't be verbose". This is confusing and counter-intuitive.
In addition, there is also no way to set the MS_VERBOSE flag in the
mount(8) program in util-linux, but interesting, it does define options
which would do the right thing if MS_SILENT were defined, which
unfortunately we do not:
#ifdef MS_SILENT
{ "quiet", 0, 0, MS_SILENT }, /* be quiet */
{ "loud", 0, 1, MS_SILENT }, /* print out messages. */
#endif
So the obvious fix is to deprecate the use of MS_VERBOSE and replace it
with MS_SILENT.

Now CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is in, initial percpu data
[__per_cpu_start,__per_cpu_end] can be declared as a redzone, and invalid
accesses after boot can be detected, at least for i386.
We can let non possible cpus percpu data point to this 'redzone' instead of
NULL .
NULL was not a good choice because part of [0..32768] memory may be
readable and invalid accesses may happen unnoticed.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is not defined, each non possible cpu points to
the initial percpu data (__per_cpu_offset[cpu] == 0), thus invalid accesses
wont be detected/crash.
This patch also moves __per_cpu_offset[] to read_mostly area to avoid false
sharing.

This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp.
The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot
device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related
operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.
Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a
selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which
sectors of the resume partition are available to them.
The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling
functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp.
The interface documentation is included in the patch.
The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will
be 10 (ie. misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been
requested.

I don't see any use case for the CONFIG_CC_ALIGN_* options:
- they are only available if EMBEDDED
- people using EMBEDDED will most likely also enable
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
- the default for -Os is to disable alignment
In case someone is doing performance comparisons and discovers that the
default settings gcc chooses aren't good, the only sane thing is to discuss
whether it makes sense to change this, not through offering options to change
this locally.

It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with
initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location. When the initrd
region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous. The
Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write
the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself
and may not be part of the dump. For example, on powerpc, the initrd is
located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB. The kexec_load caused
panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB). We could see
the similar issue even on other archs.
One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region. But,
the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up. This patch
fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel
memory in case overlaps.

Make SELinux depend on AUDIT as it requires the basic audit support to log
permission denials at all. Note that AUDITSYSCALL remains optional for
SELinux, although it can be useful in providing further information upon
denials.

Do not allow people to create configurations with CONFIG_BROKEN=y.
The sole reason for CONFIG_BROKEN=y would be if you are working on fixing a
broken driver, but in this case editing the Kconfig file is trivial.
Never ever should a user enable CONFIG_BROKEN.
