15517f7c21 lguest: fix timer interrupt setup

Fortunately, the fix is a one-liner: set up the timer IRQ like everything

5d4c47e019 x86 idle: deprecate mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param
mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it.

But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle().

Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param
to simplify the x86 idle code.

After this change, kernels configured with
(!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that support MWAIT will simply use HLT.  If MWAIT is desired
on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above
can be used.

cdaab4a0d3 x86 idle: deprecate "no-hlt" cmdline param
We'd rather that modern machines not check if HLT works on
every entry into idle, for the benefit of machines that had
marginal electricals 15-years ago.  If those machines are still running
the upstream kernel, they can use "idle=poll".  The only difference
will be that they'll now invoke HLT in machine_hlt().

99c6322143 x86 idle APM: deprecate CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE
We don't want to export the pm_idle function pointer to modules.
Currently CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE w/ CONFIG_APM_MODULE forces us to.

CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is of dubious value, it runs only on 32-bit
uniprocessor laptops that are over 10 years old.  It calls into
the BIOS during idle, and is known to cause a number of machines
to fail.

Removing CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE and will allow us to stop exporting
pm_idle.  Any systems that were calling into the APM BIOS
at run-time will simply use HLT instead.

02c68a0201 x86 idle: clarify AMD erratum 400 workaround
The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting:
1. Intel C1E is somehow involved
2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved

Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that
this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E.
Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific
to AMD processors with Erratum 400.

This patch is text-substitution only, with no functional change.

* setns:
  ns: Wire up the setns system call

7b21fddd08 ns: Wire up the setns system call
32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.

setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.

While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.

v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

89e1be50c6 x86: Put back -pg to tsc.o and add no GCOV to vread_tsc_64.o
The commit 44259b1abf
    Author: Andy Lutomirski <luto@MIT.EDU>
    x86-64: Move vread_tsc into a new file with sensible options

Removed the -pg from tsc.o which caused the function graph tracer
to go into an infinite function call recursion as it uses the tsc
internally outside its recursion protection, thus tracing the tsc
breaks the function graph tracer.

This commit also added the file vread_tsc_64.c that gets used
by vdso but failed to prevent GCOV from monkeying with it,
causing userspace to try to access kernel data when GCOV was
enabled.

Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for pointing out GCOV as the likely
culprit that added strange kernel accesses into the vread_tsc()
call.

a77aea9201 cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup
The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
    namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
  * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

  The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
  where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
  The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
  the 'tasks' file.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change.  Commit 45531757b4 ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.  Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

e9cdd343a5 x86, amd: Do not enable ARAT feature on AMD processors below family 0x12
Commit b87cf80af3 added support for
ARAT (Always Running APIC timer) on AMD processors that are not
affected by erratum 400. This erratum is present on certain processor
families and prevents APIC timer from waking up the CPU when it
is in a deep C state, including C1E state.

Determining whether a processor is affected by this erratum may
have some corner cases and handling these cases is somewhat
complicated. In the interest of simplicity we won't claim ARAT
support on processor families below 0x12 and will go back to
broadcasting timer when going idle.

5bc20fc597 xen: cleancache shim to Xen Transcendent Memory
This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache
API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent
Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem).

Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented
pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages,
and frontswap pages.  Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency,
full save/restore and live migration support, compression
and deduplication.

A presentation showing up to 8% faster performance and up to 52%
reduction in sectors read on a kernel compile workload, despite
aggressive in-kernel page reclamation ("self-ballooning") can be
found at:

916f676f8d x86, efi: Retain boot service code until after switching to virtual mode
UEFI stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", where "Firmware"
is an ancient African word meaning "Why do something right when you can
do it so wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before
you", and "UEI" is Celtic for "We missed DOS so we burned it into your
ROMs". The UEFI specification provides for runtime services (ie, another
way for the operating system to be forced to depend on the firmware) and
we rely on these for certain trivial tasks such as setting up the
bootloader. But some hardware fails to work if we attempt to use these
runtime services from physical mode, and so we have to switch into virtual
mode. So far so dreadful.

The specification makes it clear that the operating system is free to do
whatever it wants with boot services code after ExitBootServices() has been
called. SetVirtualAddressMap() can't be called until ExitBootServices() has
been. So, obviously, a whole bunch of EFI implementations call into boot
services code when we do that. Since we've been charmingly naive and
trusted that the specification may be somehow relevant to the real world,
we've already stuffed a picture of a penguin or something in that address
space. And just to make things more entertaining, we've also marked it
non-executable.

This patch allocates the boot services regions during EFI init and makes
sure that they're executable. Then, after SetVirtualAddressMap(), it
discards them and everyone lives happily ever after. Except for the ones
who have to work on EFI, who live sad lives haunted by the knowledge that
someone's eventually going to write yet another firmware specification.

[ hpa: adding this to urgent with a stable tag since it fixes currently-broken
  hardware.  However, I do not know what the dependencies are and so I do
  not know which -stable versions this may be a candidate for. ]

5ca43f6c3b lib: consolidate DEBUG_STACK_USAGE option
Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way.  Move it
to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it.  This
obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is
already used in generic code.

It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by
keeping the most inclusive wording.

162a7e7500 printk: allocate kernel log buffer earlier
On larger systems, because of the numerous ACPI, Bootmem and EFI messages,
the static log buffer overflows before the larger one specified by the
log_buf_len param is allocated.  Minimize the overflow by allocating the
new log buffer as soon as possible.

On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from
kernel/init.c is the fallback.

dbee8a0aff x86: remove 32-bit versions of readq()/writeq()
The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the
64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver
(and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in
<http://lkml.kernel.org/r/adaab6c1h7c.fsf@cisco.com>).  To fix this,
revert 2c5643b1c5 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and
follow-on cleanups.

This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and
write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the
definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>.  However as discussed
exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right
way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore
belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure
no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access).

Build tested on 32- and 64-bit x86 allmodconfig.

de03c72cfc mm: convert mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_t
cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position.
It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio.

This patch has two change.
1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask
   is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability
2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory
   footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future.

In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var.
It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users.

This patch has no functional change.

37b23e0525 x86,mm: make pagefault killable
When an oom killing occurs, almost all processes are getting stuck at the
following two points.

	1) __alloc_pages_nodemask
	2) __lock_page_or_retry

1) is not very problematic because TIF_MEMDIE leads to an allocation
failure and getting out from page allocator.

2) is more problematic.  In an OOM situation, zones typically don't have
page cache at all and memory starvation might lead to greatly reduced IO
performance.  When a fork bomb occurs, TIF_MEMDIE tasks don't die quickly,
meaning that a fork bomb may create new process quickly rather than the
oom-killer killing it.  Then, the system may become livelocked.

This patch makes the pagefault interruptible by SIGKILL.
