7e924aafa4 memcg: mem_cgroup_charge never NULL
My memcgroup patch to fix hang with shmem/tmpfs added NULL page handling to
mem_cgroup_charge_common.  It seemed convenient at the time, but hard to
justify now: there's a perfectly appropriate swappage to charge and uncharge
instead, this is not on any hot path through shmem_getpage, and no performance
hit was observed from the slight extra overhead.

So revert that NULL page handling from mem_cgroup_charge_common; and make it
clearer by bringing page_cgroup_assign_new_page_cgroup into its body - that
was a helper I found more of a hindrance to understanding.

9442ec9df4 memcg: bad page if page_cgroup when free
Replace free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) by a "Bad
page state" and clear: most users don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on, and if it
were set here, it'd likely cause corruption when the page is reused.

Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to
memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone
doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the
kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers.

Instead use page_reset_bad_cgroup, added to memcontrol.h for this only.

98837c7f82 memcg: fix VM_BUG_ON from page migration
Page migration gave me free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON page->page_cgroup.
remove_migration_pte was calling mem_cgroup_charge on the new page whenever it
found a swap pte, before it had determined it to be a migration entry.  That
left a surplus reference count on the page_cgroup, so it was still attached
when the page was later freed.

Move that mem_cgroup_charge down to where we're sure it's a migration entry.
We were already under i_mmap_lock or anon_vma->lock, so its GFP_KERNEL was
already inappropriate: change that to GFP_ATOMIC.

It's essential that remove_migration_pte removes all the migration entries,
other crashes follow if not.  So proceed even when the charge fails: normally
it cannot, but after a mem_cgroup_force_empty it might - comment in the code.

61469f1d51 memcg: when do_swap's do_wp_page fails
Don't uncharge when do_swap_page's call to do_wp_page fails: the page which
was charged for is there in the pagetable, and will be correctly uncharged
when that area is unmapped - it was only its COWing which failed.

And while we're here, remove earlier XXX comment: yes, OR in do_wp_page's
return value (maybe VM_FAULT_WRITE) with do_swap_page's there; but if it
fails, mask out success bits, which might confuse some arches e.g.  sparc.

6dbf6d3bb9 memcg: page_cache_release not __free_page
There's nothing wrong with mem_cgroup_charge failure in do_wp_page and
do_anonymous page using __free_page, but it does look odd when nearby code
uses page_cache_release: use that instead (while turning a blind eye to
ancient inconsistencies of page_cache_release versus put_page).

9fe3fd03a1 CRIS: Import string.c (memcpy) from newlib: fixes compile error with gcc 4
Adrian Bunk reported another compile error with a SVN head GCC:

...
  CC      arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.o
/home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:138:
error: lvalue required as increment operand
/home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:138:
error: lvalue required as increment operand
/home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:139:
error: lvalue required as increment operand
...

This is due to the use of the construct:

	*((long*)dst)++ = lc;

Which isn't legal since casts don't return an lvalue.

The solution is to import the implementation from newlib,
which is continually autotested together with GCC mainline,
and uses the construct:

	*(long *) dst = lc; dst += 4;

Since this is an import of a file from newlib, I'm not touching
the formatting or correcting any checkpatch errors.

As for the earlier fix for memset.c, even if the two files for
CRIS v10 and CRIS v32 are identical at the moment, it might
be possible to tweak the CRIS v32 version.
Thus, I'm not yet folding them into the same file, at least not
until we've done some research on it.

o Modified kretprobe_example to act as a arch-agnostic module to
  determine routine execution times:
	Use 'modprobe kretprobe_example func=<func_name>' to determine
	execution time of func_name in nanoseconds.

9edddaa200 Kprobes: indicate kretprobe support in Kconfig
Add CONFIG_HAVE_KRETPROBES to the arch/<arch>/Kconfig file for relevant
architectures with kprobes support.  This facilitates easy handling of
in-kernel modules (like samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c) that depend on
kretprobes being present in the kernel.

Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for helping make the patch more lean.

Per Mathieu's suggestion, added CONFIG_KRETPROBES and fixed up dependencies.

8182ec49a7 VT notifier fix for VT switch
VT notifier callbacks need to be aware of console switches.  This is already
partially done from console_callback(), but at that time fg_console, cursor
positions, etc.  are not yet updated and hence screen readers fetch the old
values.

This adds an update notify after all of the values are updated in
redraw_screen(vc, 1).

be852795e1 alloc_percpu() fails to allocate percpu data
Some oprofile results obtained while using tbench on a 2x2 cpu machine were
very surprising.

For example, loopback_xmit() function was using high number of cpu cycles
to perform the statistic updates, supposed to be real cheap since they use
percpu data

        pcpu_lstats = netdev_priv(dev);
        lb_stats = per_cpu_ptr(pcpu_lstats, smp_processor_id());
        lb_stats->packets++;  /* HERE : serious contention */
        lb_stats->bytes += skb->len;

struct pcpu_lstats is a small structure containing two longs.  It appears
that on my 32bits platform, alloc_percpu(8) allocates a single cache line,
instead of giving to each cpu a separate cache line.

Using the following patch gave me impressive boost in various benchmarks
( 6 % in tbench)
(all percpu_counters hit this bug too)

Long term fix (ie >= 2.6.26) would be to let each CPU allocate their own
block of memory, so that we dont need to roudup sizes to L1_CACHE_BYTES, or
merging the SGI stuff of course...

Note : SLUB vs SLAB is important here to *show* the improvement, since they
dont have the same minimum allocation sizes (8 bytes vs 32 bytes).  This
could very well explain regressions some guys reported when they switched
to SLUB.

  This happens when the function registered with early_param() returns

7560fa60fc gpio: <linux/gpio.h> and "no GPIO support here" stubs
Add a <linux/gpio.h> defining fail/warn stubs for GPIO calls on platforms that
don't support the GPIO programming interface.  That includes the arch-specific
implementation glue otherwise.

This facilitates a new model for GPIO usage: drivers that can use GPIOs if
they're available, but don't require them.  One example of such a driver is
NAND driver for various FreeScale chips.  On platforms update with GPIO
support, they can be used instead of a worst-case delay to verify that the
BUSY signal is off.

(Also includes a couple minor unrelated doc updates.)

a10568733c CRIS v10: Include mm.h instead of vmstat.h in kernel/time.c
Commit 2f569afd9c
(CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables) introduced use of
inc_zone_page_state and dec_zone_page_state in include/linux/mm.h.

Those are defined in include/linux/vmstat.h, but after it includes
mm.h, making it impossible to include vmstat.h since inc_zone_page_state
and dec_zone_page_state then would be undefined.

arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.c does just this, which makes the
CRIS v10 build break with the following error:

...

By changing kernel/time.c to include linux/mm.h, the build succeeds.

cf655043d4 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.15
This version brings a number of minor fixes updating the type detector and
the unary tracker.  It also brings a few small fixes for false positives.
It also reverts the --file warning.  Of note:

 - limit CVS checks to added lines
 - improved type detections
 - fixes to the unary tracker

Andy Whitcroft (13):
      Version: 0.15
      EXPORT_SYMBOL checks need to accept array variables
      export checks must match DECLARE_foo and LIST_HEAD
      possible types: cleanup debugging missing line
      values: track values through preprocessor conditional paths
      typeof is actually a type
      possible types: detect definitions which cross lines
      values: include line numbers on value debug information
      values: ensure we find correctly record pending brackets
      values: simplify the brace history stack
      CVS keyword checks should only apply to added lines
      loosen spacing for comments
      allow braces for single statement blocks with multiline conditionals

Harvey Harrison (1):
      checkpatch: remove fastcall
