7fc1a1abc1 alpha: more fixes for specific machine types
arch/alpha/kernel/sys_sx164.c

	Earlier firmware revisions need MVI fix as well.

arch/alpha/kernel/sys_nautilus.c

	On UP1500 firmware reports wrong AGP IRQ (10 instead of 5).
	This causes interrupt storm if there is a PCI device that
	uses IRQ 5.

5ac6da669e [PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA
As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
channel management.  Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
provide memory below 16M.  So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA.  Undo the modifications to
mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.

Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
switched off.  It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
IA64/Altix).

In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
(like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
call.  In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

bbea9f6966 [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size
Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
fdarray and two fdsets.  The code allows the number of fds supported by the
fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).

In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.

Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This
patch removes fdtable->max_fdset.  As an added bonus, most of the supporting
code becomes simpler.

f0d1b0b30d [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel
This facility provides three entry points:

	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

	int do_something(long q)
	{
		...;
		y = ilog2(x)
		...;
	}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

	unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

afefdbb28a [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers
These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system.  They are required
because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
for example.  The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
automatically where the arch supports it.

Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
so overlaps occur.

This patch:

Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.

The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
available and where possible.  If it is not possible to represent the inode
number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
error EOVERFLOW will be issued.

Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.

Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.

Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
same reasons.

It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

b68e31d0eb [PATCH] const struct tty_operations
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.

This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an

8ef386092d [PATCH] kill wall_jiffies
With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.

This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1".  This condition is never met so I
suppose it is just a bug.  I just remove that condition only instead of
kill the whole "if" block.

3171a0305d [PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.

Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.  Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.

This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c66 needless.  So this patch removes
it.

As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies.  It would be another cleanup patch)

f400e198b2 [PATCH] pidspace: is_init()
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().

Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.

Eric's original description:

	There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
	because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
	must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
	->pid == 1.

	Introduce is_init to capture this case.

	With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
	looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
	process that has pid == 1.

d1bef4ed5f [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.

While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.

The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.

This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.

As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.

The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.

We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.

This patch:

rename desc->handler to desc->chip.

Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.

I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.

So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.

This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

76b67ed9dc [PATCH] node hotplug: register cpu: remove node struct
With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime.  I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.

I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.

In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add.  But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu().  When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.

This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.

This removes node arguments from register_cpu().

Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument.  But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch).  We can get struct node in generic way.  So, this argument is not
necessary now.

This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined.  It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs.  cpu-hot-add patch following this.

Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument.  This patch removes it.

Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

c7d2d28b98 [PATCH] alpha: SMP IRQ routing fix
From: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>

After removal of fixup_cpu_present_map() function Alpha ended up with an empty
cpu_present_map, so secondary CPUs on SMP systems are not being started.

Worse, on some platforms we route interrupts to secondary CPUs using
cpu_possible_map which is still populated properly.  As a result, these
interrupts go nowhere so the machines like DP264 aren't able to boot even with
a primary CPU.

Fixed basically by s/cpu_present_mask/cpu_present_map/.

Thanks to Ernst Herzberg for reporting the bug and testing the fix.

894b5779ce [PATCH] No arch-specific strpbrk implementations
While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't
being exported from lib/string.c.  Investigating further, I noticed a
changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more
architectures.  The justification was that "other arches do it."

I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines
__HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it
themselves.  Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

c80d79d746 [PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFT
Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
each arch.  Its definition is sometimes configurable.  Indeed, ia64 defines 5
NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree.  But it looks a bit messy.

SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
been changeable by config.  Suitable node's number may be changed in the
future even if it is other architecture.  So, I wrote configurable node's
number.

This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
nodes except ia64.  But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.

On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
config.  But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too.  So, I
changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT.  It
would be simpler.

917b1f78a9 [PATCH] alpha: SMP boot fixes
I've encountered two problems with 2.6.16 and newer kernels on my API CS20
(dual 833MHz Alpha 21264b processors).  The first is the kernel OOPSing
because of a NULL pointer dereference while trying to populate SysFS with the
CPU information.  The other is that only one processor was being brought up.
I've included a small Alpha-specific patch that fixes both problems.

The first problem was caused by the CPUs never being properly registered using
register_cpu(), the way it's done on other architectures.

The second problem has to do with the removal of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask in
arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c.  In setup_smp() in the 2.6.15 kernel sources,
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask has a bit set for each processor that is probed, and
afterwards cpu_present_mask is set to the cpumask for the boot CPU.  In the
same function of the same file in the 2.6.16 sources, instead of
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask being set, cpu_possible_map is updated for each probed
CPU.  cpu_present_mask is still set to the cpumask of the boot CPU afterwards.
 The problem lies in include/asm-alpha/smp.h, where cpu_possible_map is
#define'd to be cpu_present_mask.

Cleanups from: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>

 - cpu_present_mask and cpu_possible_map are essentially the same thing
   on alpha, as it doesn't support CPU hotplug;
 - allocate "struct cpu" only for present CPUs, like sparc64 does.
   Static array of "struct cpu" is just a waste of memory.

9b41046cd0 [PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]
The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and
parse_args(,unknown_bootoption).

And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().

	start_kernel()
		-> parse_args()
			-> unknown_bootoption()
				-> obsolete_checksetup()

If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
handled.

If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
->setup_func().  If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
a parameter is seted to argv_init[].

Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:		die_chain
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:	xaction_notifier_list
kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

22a9835c35 [PATCH] unify PFN_* macros
Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns.
 They're all virtually identical.  This patch consolidates all of them.

One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header
file.  To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new
definitions in a new, isolated header.

Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit.
It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before
the arithmetic is done.  This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and
the development list.

Compiles on x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64.

5590ff0d55 [PATCH] vfs: *at functions: core
Here is a series of patches which introduce in total 13 new system calls
which take a file descriptor/filename pair instead of a single file
name.  These functions, openat etc, have been discussed on numerous
occasions.  They are needed to implement race-free filesystem traversal,
they are necessary to implement a virtual per-thread current working
directory (think multi-threaded backup software), etc.

We have in glibc today implementations of the interfaces which use the
/proc/self/fd magic.  But this code is rather expensive.  Here are some
results (similar to what Jim Meyering posted before).

The test creates a deep directory hierarchy on a tmpfs filesystem.  Then
rm -fr is used to remove all directories.  Without syscall support I get
this:

real    0m31.921s
user    0m0.688s
sys     0m31.234s

With syscall support the results are much better:

real    0m20.699s
user    0m0.536s
sys     0m20.149s

The interfaces are for obvious reasons currently not much used.  But they'll
be used.  coreutils (and Jeff's posixutils) are already using them.
Furthermore, code like ftw/fts in libc (maybe even glob) will also start using
them.  I expect a patch to make follow soon.  Every program which is walking
the filesystem tree will benefit.

5e38291d80 [PATCH] Don't attempt to power off if power off is not implemented
The problem.  It is expected that /sbin/halt -p works exactly like
/sbin/halt, when the kernel does not implement power off functionality.

The kernel can do a lot of work in the reboot notifiers and in
device_shutdown before we even get to machine_power_off.  Some of that
shutdown is not safe if you are leaving the power on, and it definitely
gets in the way of using sysrq or pressing ctrl-alt-del.  Since the
shutdown happens in generic code there is no way to fix this in
architecture specific code :(

Some machines are kernel oopsing today because of this.

The simple solution is to turn LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF into
LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT if power_off functionality is not implemented.

This has the unfortunate side effect of disabling the power off
functionality on architectures that leave pm_power_off to null and still
implement something in machine_power_off.  And it will break the build on
some architectures that don't have a pm_power_off variable at all.

On both counts I say tough.

For architectures like alpha that don't implement the pm_power_off variable
pm_power_off is declared in linux/pm.h and it is a generic part of our
power management code, and all architectures should implement it.

For architectures like parisc that have a default power off method in
machine_power_off if pm_power_off is not implemented or fails.  It is easy
enough to set the pm_power_off variable.  And nothing bad happens there,
the machines just stop powering off.

The current semantics are impossible without a flag at the top level so we
can avoid the problem code if a power off is not implemented.  pm_power_off
is as good a flag as any with the bonus that it works without modification
on at least x86, x86_64, powerpc, and ppc today.

Andrew can you pick this up and put this in the mm tree.  Kernels that
don't compile or don't power off seem saner than kernels that oops or
panic.  Until we get the arch specific patches for the problem
architectures this probably isn't smart to push into the stable kernel.
Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to walk through every
architecture and make them work.  And even if I did I couldn't test it :(

6b9c7ed848 [PATCH] use ptrace_get_task_struct in various places
The ptrace_get_task_struct() helper that I added as part of the ptrace
consolidation is useful in variety of places that currently opencode it.
Switch them to the common helpers.

Add a ptrace_traceme() helper that needs to be explicitly called, and simplify
the ptrace_get_task_struct() interface.  We don't need the request argument
now, and we return the task_struct directly, using ERR_PTR() for error
returns.  It's a bit more code in the callers, but we have two sane routines
that do one thing well now.

64c7c8f885 [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle rework
Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid.  Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.

* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
  and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
  atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
  when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
  protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.

- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
  won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.

- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
  TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.

- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
  after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.

Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.

* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
  becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
  (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.

- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
  to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
  assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
  held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
  to the idle thread.

- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
  most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
  set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
  a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.

  Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
  can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
  the idle task.

  POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

208d54e551 [PATCH] memory hotplug locking: node_size_lock
pgdat->node_size_lock is basically only neeeded in one place in the normal
code: show_mem(), which is the arch-specific sysrq-m printing function.

Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this
locking in show_mem().  However, they are all included for completeness.  This
should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a
little more straightforward.

This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as
sections are invalidated.  This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false
for a memory area that's being removed.  The lock is only required when doing
pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a
reference on the page, such as in show_mem().

872fec16d9 [PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlock
First step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.

Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did.  Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.

Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.

If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it).  So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).

Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.
