nla_put() in taskstat.c can fail only if the 'size' argument of alloc_skb()
was not right. This is a kernel bug, we should not hide it. So add 'BUG()'
on error path and check for 'na == NULL'.

So we can remove 'genlmsg_cancel()' calls and 'void *reply' (saves 227 bytes).

Currently taskstats_user_cmd()/taskstats_exit() do:
1) allocate stats
2) fill stats
3) make a temporary copy on stack (236 bytes)
4) copy that copy to skb
5) free stats
With the help of nla_reserve() we can operate on skb->data directly,
thus avoiding all these steps except 2).
So, before this patch:
// copy *stats to skb->data
int mk_reply(skb, ..., struct taskstats *stats);
fill_pid(stats);
mk_reply(skb, ..., stats);
After:
// return a pointer to skb->data
struct taskstats *mk_reply(skb, ...);
stat = mk_reply(skb, ...);
fill_pid(stats);
Shrinks taskatsks.o by 162 bytes.
A stupid benchmark (send one million TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID) shows the
real user sys
before:
4.02 0.06 3.96
4.02 0.04 3.98
4.02 0.04 3.97
after:
3.86 0.08 3.78
3.88 0.10 3.77
3.89 0.09 3.80
but this looks suspiciously good.

If there are no listeners, every task does unneeded kmem_cache alloc/free on
exit. We don't need listeners->sem for 'if (!list_empty())' check. Yes, we may
have a false positive, but this doesn't differ from the case when the listener
is unregistered after we drop the semaphore. So we don't need to do allocation
beforehand.

The CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag is used by NPTL to have its threads
communicate via memory/futex when they exit, so pthread_join can
synchronize using a simple futex wait. The word of user memory where NPTL
stores a thread's own TID is what it passes; this gets reset to zero at
thread exit.
It is not desireable to touch this user memory when threads are dying due
to a fatal signal. A core dump is more usefully representative of the
dying program state if the threads live at the time of the crash have their
NPTL data structures unperturbed. The userland expectation of
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID has only ever been that it works for a thread making
an _exit system call.

This patch addresses incorrect symbol type information reported through
/proc/kallsyms. A lowercase character should designate the symbol as local
(or non-exported). An uppercase character should designate the symbol as
global (or external).
Without this patch, some non-exported symbols are incorrectly assigned an
upper-case designation in /proc/kallsyms. This patch corrects this
condition by converting non-exported symbols types to lower case when
appropriate and eliminates the superfluous upcase_if_global function

The freezer currently prints an '=' for every process that is frozen. This
is pretty pointless, as the equals sign says nothing about which process is
frozen, and makes logs look messier (especially if there were a large
number of processes running). All we really need to know is that we
started trying to freeze processes and what processes (if any) failed to
freeze, or that we succeeded.

Currently swsusp saves the contents of highmem pages by copying them to the
normal zone which is quite inefficient (eg. it requires two normal pages
to be used for saving one highmem page). This may be improved by using
highmem for saving the contents of saveable highmem pages.
Namely, during the suspend phase of the suspend-resume cycle we try to
allocate as many free highmem pages as there are saveable highmem pages.
If there are not enough highmem image pages to store the contents of all of
the saveable highmem pages, some of them will be stored in the "normal"
memory. Next, we allocate as many free "normal" pages as needed to store
the (remaining) image data. We use a memory bitmap to mark the allocated
free pages (ie. highmem as well as "normal" image pages).
Now, we use another memory bitmap to mark all of the saveable pages
(highmem as well as "normal") and the contents of the saveable pages are
copied into the image pages. Then, the second bitmap is used to save the
pfns corresponding to the saveable pages and the first one is used to save
their data.
During the resume phase the pfns of the pages that were saveable during the
suspend are loaded from the image and used to mark the "unsafe" page
frames. Next, we try to allocate as many free highmem page frames as to
load all of the image data that had been in the highmem before the suspend
and we allocate so many free "normal" page frames that the total number of
allocated free pages (highmem and "normal") is equal to the size of the
image. While doing this we have to make sure that there will be some extra
free "normal" and "safe" page frames for two lists of PBEs constructed
later.
Now, the image data are loaded, if possible, into their "original" page
frames. The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page
frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel
virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing
their copies, are stored in one of two lists of PBEs.
One list of PBEs is for the copies of "normal" suspend pages (ie. "normal"
pages that were saveable during the suspend) and it is used in the same way
as previously (ie. by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp). The
other list of PBEs is for the copies of highmem suspend pages. The pages
in this list are restored (in a reversible way) right before the
arch-dependent code is called.

The Linux kernel handles swap files almost in the same way as it handles swap
partitions and there are only two differences between these two types of swap
areas:
(1) swap files need not be contiguous,
(2) the header of a swap file is not in the first block of the partition
that holds it. From the swsusp's point of view (1) is not a problem,
because it is already taken care of by the swap-handling code, but (2) has
to be taken into consideration.
In principle the location of a swap file's header may be determined with the
help of appropriate filesystem driver. Unfortunately, however, it requires
the filesystem holding the swap file to be mounted, and if this filesystem is
journaled, it cannot be mounted during a resume from disk. For this reason we
need some other means by which swap areas can be identified.
For example, to identify a swap area we can use the partition that holds the
area and the offset from the beginning of this partition at which the swap
header is located.
The following patch allows swsusp to identify swap areas this way. It changes
swap_type_of() so that it takes an additional argument representing an offset
of the swap header within the partition represented by its first argument.

Add an ioctl to the userspace swsusp code that enables the usage of the
pmops->prepare, pmops->enter and pmops->finish methods (the in-kernel
suspend knows these as "platform method"). These are needed on many
machines to (among others) speed up resuming by letting the BIOS skip some
steps or let my hp nx5000 recognise the correct ac_adapter state after
resume again.
It also ensures on many machines, that changed hardware (unplugged AC
adapters) gets correctly detected and that kacpid does not run wild after
resume.

The new swap token patches replace the current token traversal algo. The old
algo had a crude timeout parameter that was used to handover the token from
one task to another. This algo, transfers the token to the tasks that are in
need of the token. The urgency for the token is based on the number of times
a task is required to swap-in pages. Accordingly, the priority of a task is
incremented if it has been badly affected due to swap-outs. To ensure that
the token doesnt bounce around rapidly, the token holders are given a priority
boost. The priority of tasks is also decremented, if their rate of swap-in's
keeps reducing. This way, the condition to check whether to pre-empt the swap
token, is a matter of comparing two task's priority fields.

By modyfing genlmsg_put() to take a genl_family and by adding
genlmsg_put_reply() the process of constructing the netlink
and generic netlink headers is simplified.
