This patch adds a new parameter for sizing ZONE_MOVABLE called
movablecore=. While kernelcore= is used to specify the minimum amount of
memory that must be available for all allocation types, movablecore= is
used to specify the minimum amount of memory that is used for migratable
allocations. The amount of memory used for migratable allocations
determines how large the huge page pool could be dynamically resized to at
runtime for example.
How movablecore is actually handled is that the total number of pages in
the system is calculated and a value is set for kernelcore that is
kernelcore == totalpages - movablecore
Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be safely specified at the same time.

This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for x86.
Once all patches are applied, a new command-line parameter exist and a new
sysctl. This patch adds the necessary documentation.
From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com>
When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64
because of an infinite loop. In addition, the parsing code can be handled
in an architecture-independent manner.
This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter. It is
only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing
(i.e. define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP). Other architectures will
ignore the boot parameter.

Some buses (e.g. USB and MMC) do their scanning of devices in the
background, causing a race between them and prepare_namespace(). In order
to be able to use these buses without an initrd, we now wait for the device
specified in root= to actually show up.
If the device never shows up than we will hang in an infinite loop. In
order to not mess with setups that reboot on panic, the feature must be
turned on via the command line option "rootwait".

Allow printk_time to be enabled or disabled at boot time. Previously it
could be enabled only, but not disabled.
Change printk_time from an int to a bool since that's what it is. Make its
logical (exposed) name just be "time" (was "printk_time").
Note: Changes kernel boot option syntax from "time" to "printk.time=value".
Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, it can also be
changed at run-time by modifying
/sys/module/printk/parameters/time
to a value of 1/Y/y to enabled it or 0/N/n to disable it.
Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, its value can also
be set at boot-time by using
linux printk.time=<bool>
If the "time" boot option is used, print a message that it is deprecated
and will be removed.

Add a new configuration variable
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON
If set then the kernel will be booted by default with slab debugging
switched on. Similar to CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG. By default slab debugging
is available but must be enabled by specifying "slub_debug" as a
kernel parameter.
Also add support to switch off slab debugging for a kernel that was
built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. This works by specifying
slub_debug=-
as a kernel parameter.

Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6.
This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable.
Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based.
[Default Order]
The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically.
[Node-based Order]
This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter.
Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones
(ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion.
IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist.
current 2.6.21 kernel uses this.
Pros.
* A user can expect local memory as much as possible.
Cons.
* lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL.
Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL
because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality.
(example)
assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL.
*node(0)'s memory allocation order:
node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL.
*node(1)'s memory allocation order:
node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.
[Zone-based order]
This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter.
Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone
never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion.
IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist.
Pros.
* OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted.
Cons.
* memory locality may not be best.
(example)
assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL.
*node(0)'s memory allocation order:
node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.
*node(1)'s memory allocation order:
node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.
bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd.
command:
%echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order
Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order.
command:
%echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order
Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

that is too late.
Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.
new command line will be:

earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
it will print in very early stage:

This patch updates some of the documentation about DMA buffer management
for USB, and ways to avoid extra copying. Our understanding of the issues
has improved over time.
- Most drivers should *avoid* the dma-coherent allocators. There are
a few exceptions (like the HID driver).
- Some methods are currently commented out; it seems folk writing
USB drivers aren't doing performance tuning at that level yet.
- Just avoid highmem; there's no good way to pass an "I can do highmem
DMA" capability through a driver stack. This is easy, everything
already avoids highmem. But it'd be nice if x86_32 systems with much
physical memory could use it directly with network adapters and mass
storage devices. (Patch, anyone?)

This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the
USB-Persist facility. Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for
all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the
power/persist device attribute.
The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and
its code placed inline. This is the way it was originally as part of
hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is
sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared.
Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of
hub_reset_resume(). The end result looks much cleaner than before.
The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and
there are corresponding documentation updates.

This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility,
allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system
suspend.
The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate
warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the
behavior will remain the same as it is now. But when the option is
on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB
filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small
machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!
