Because NR_CPUS can be greater than 1000 and meminfo_proc_show() does
not check for underflow.
But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation. In general,
possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online
cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS).
The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff. using it is right
way. it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't
make underflow issue.

This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of
special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults
when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because aout binary
handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and
kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must
be done by binfmt_loader.
Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers
using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which
places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally
useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just
for overriding them.

Uwe Geuder noted that he gets random bitmaps on a text console if he tried
to type extended characters (like the e acute). For him everything above
unicode 0xa0 was corrupted.
After some digging there seems to be a little culprit in vgacon since the
beginning of ages (well git). The function vgacon_font_get will store the
number of characters correctly in font->charcount but then calls to
vgacon_do_font_op(..., 0, 0). Which means only the lower 256 characters
are actually stored to the fontdata. The rest is left untouched. So the
next time that saved data is used, the garbled font appears. This happens
on every switch between text consoles.

Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems.
1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update
last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM.
2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the
mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to.
mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we
use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded.
The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we
change it too.

Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page
locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the
lock until the page is marked dirty. This allows the filesystem to have
full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM.
Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we
call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with
it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock.
The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to
associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will
perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite. It currently then must
return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according
to existing page_mkwrite convention).
In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty. The
filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be
attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the
filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no
longer dirty.
It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in
->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail. The
filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example.
And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because
page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the
page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail.
This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations
(page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty)
closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being
initiated in that window. This provides the filesystem with a strong
synchronisation against the VM here.
- Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem.
- Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913).
- I need it for fsblock.
- I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs).
- I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation
under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page
at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot
be fixed properly without this patch).
- Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their
page_mkwrite functions themselves.
[ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should
eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a
filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ]

tick_handle_periodic() can lock up hard when a one shot clock event
device is used in combination with jiffies clocksource.
Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid
clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when
using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once
per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available.
Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through
the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or
more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to
think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail
causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops
forever.

But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that

-fdata-sections.

Correct naming is .head.text.
Fix comment so we use correct naming.

When using trees like wireless-testing, which have untagged tags,
scripts/setlocalversion does not display any git indication for
localversion.
This patch fixes it: If git is available, but no usable tag is found,
it uses -g${head}. It skips the detection of unanottated tags via
git name-rev.

While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M
options for the same file (Modules.markers). This is resulting in
modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on
the same file.
We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers()
opening that same file for writing.
The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is
as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers. When write_markers()
is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on
it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM.
Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference
(and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds.
Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux. Also ran modpost within
valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed
after read_markers()

If a tag file is not removed before it is regenerated, the newly
generated data is appended to the old, which preserves stale data and
makes the tag file grow over time.
