Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Here's the updates for ARM for this merge window, which cover quite a
variety of areas.
There's a bunch of patch series from Will tackling various bugs like
the PROT_NONE handling, ASID allocation, cluster boot protocol and
ASID TLB tagging updates.
We move to a build-time sorted exception table rather than doing the
sorting at run-time, add support for the secure computing filter, and
some updates to the perf code. We also have sorted out the placement
of some headers, fixed some build warnings, fixed some hotplug
problems with the per-cpu TWD code."

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. The big changes are focused on
making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.
- cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and
caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last
reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a
separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
changes on top.
- The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
improve hierarchy support.
- cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
cgroups are frozen.
- netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
properly.
- Various fixes and cleanups.
- Two merge commits. One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
to build iterators). The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be
stacked on top."

commit bea8c150a7 ("memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops") in master

Quite a few enhancements this time around, helpers and diagnostics for
the most part which is good to see:
- Addition of table based lookups for the register access checks from
Davide Ciminaghi, making life easier for drivers with big blocks of
similar registers.
- Allow drivers to get the irqdomain for regmap irq_chips, allowing the
domain to be used with other APIs.
- Debug improvements for paged register maps.
- Performance improvments for some of the diagnostic infrastructure,
very helpful for devices with large register maps.

Pull ARM OMAP serial updates from Russell King:
"This series is a major reworking of the OMAP serial driver code fixing
various bugs in the hardware-assisted flow control, extending up into
serial_core for a couple of issues. These fixes have been done as a
set of progressive changes and transformations in the hope that no new
bugs will be introduced by this series.
The problems are many-fold, from the driver not being informed about
updated settings, to the driver not knowing what the intentions of the
upper layers are.
The first four patches tackle the serial_core layer, allowing it to
provide the necessary information to drivers, and the remaining
patches allow the OMAP serial driver to take advantage of this.
This brings hardware assisted RTS/CTS and XON/OFF flow control into a
useful state.
These patches have been in linux-next for most of the last cycle;
indeed they predate the previous merge window. They've also been
posted to the OMAP people."

Pull x86 BSP hotplug changes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree enables CPU#0 (the boot processor) to be onlined/offlined on
x86, just like any other CPU. Enabled on Intel CPUs for now.
Allowing this required the identification and fixing of latent CPU#0
assumptions (such as CPU#0 initializations, etc.) in the x86
architecture code, plus the identification of barriers to
BSP-offlining, such as active PIC interrupts which can only be
serviced on the BSP.
It's behind a default-off option, and there's a debug option that
allows the automatic testing of this feature.
The motivation of this feature is to allow and prepare for true
CPU-hotplug hardware support: recent changes to MCE support enable us
to detect a deteriorating but not yet hard-failing L1/L2 cache on a
CPU that could be soft-unplugged - or a failing L3 cache on a
multi-socket system.
Note that true hardware hot-plug is not yet fully enabled by this,
because that requires a special platform wakeup sequence to be sent to
the freshly powered up CPU#0. Future patches for this are planned,
once such a platform exists. Chicken and egg"

"The biggest change affects group scheduling: we now track the runnable
average on a per-task entity basis, allowing a smoother, exponential
decay average based load/weight estimation instead of the previous
binary on-the-runqueue/off-the-runqueue load weight method.
This will inevitably disturb workloads that were in some sort of
borderline balancing state or unstable equilibrium, so an eye has to
be kept on regressions.
For that reason the new load average is only limited to group
scheduling (shares distribution) at the moment (which was also hurting
the most from the prior, crude weight calculation and whose scheduling
quality wins most from this change) - but we plan to extend this to
regular SMP balancing as well in the future, which will simplify and
speed up things a bit.
Other changes involve ongoing preparatory work to extend NOHZ to the
scheduler as well, eventually allowing completely irq-free user-space
execution."

for prime time. These commits were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724.
2. Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct
structures. These commits were posted to LKML at

3. Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output. These commits were posted

4. Additional CPU-hotplug/RCU improvements, posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/327.
Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to
be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9.
5. Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module
parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to
their expedited equivalents. These were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739.
6. Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility,
posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315.
The most notable change reduces the
default RCU CPU stall-warning time from 60 seconds to 21 seconds,
so that it once again happens sooner than the softlockup timeout.
7. Documentation updates, which were posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/280.
A couple of late-breaking changes were posted at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/634 and

Old memory hotplug code and new online/movable may cause a online node
don't have any normal memory, but memory-management acts bad when we have
nodes which is online but don't have any normal memory. Example: it may
cause a bound task fail on all kernel allocation and cause the task can't
create task or create other kernel object.
So we disable non-normal-memory-node here, we will enable it when we
prepared.

Add online_movable and online_kernel for logic memory hotplug. This is
the dynamic version of "movablecore" & "kernelcore".
We have the same reason to introduce it as to introduce "movablecore" &
"kernelcore". It has the same motive as "movablecore" & "kernelcore", but
it is dynamic/running-time:
o We can configure memory as kernelcore or movablecore after boot.
Userspace workload is increased, we need more hugepage, we can't use
"online_movable" to add memory and allow the system use more
THP(transparent-huge-page), vice-verse when kernel workload is increase.
Also help for virtualization to dynamic configure host/guest's memory,
to save/(reduce waste) memory.
Memory capacity on Demand
o When a new node is physically online after boot, we need to use
"online_movable" or "online_kernel" to configure/portion it as we
expected when we logic-online it.
This configuration also helps for physically-memory-migrate.
o all benefit as the same as existed "movablecore" & "kernelcore".
o Preparing for movable-node, which is very important for power-saving,
hardware partitioning and high-available-system(hardware fault
management).
(Note, we don't introduce movable-node here.)
Action behavior:
When a memoryblock/memorysection is onlined by "online_movable", the kernel
will not have directly reference to the page of the memoryblock,
thus we can remove that memory any time when needed.
When it is online by "online_kernel", the kernel can use it.
When it is online by "online", the zone type doesn't changed.
Current constraints:
Only the memoryblock which is adjacent to the ZONE_MOVABLE
can be online from ZONE_NORMAL to ZONE_MOVABLE.

It is strange that alloc_bootmem() returns a virtual address and
free_bootmem() requires a physical address. Anyway, free_bootmem()'s
first parameter should be physical address.
There are some call sites for free_bootmem() with virtual address. So fix
them.

Commits 2139cbe627 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages") and
d95ea5d18e ("cma: fix watermark checking") introduced a reliable
method of free page accounting when memory is being allocated from CMA
regions, so the workaround introduced earlier by commit 49f223a9cd
("mm: trigger page reclaim in alloc_contig_range() to stabilise
watermarks") can be finally removed.

Since commit 2139cbe627 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages") free
pages in isolated pageblocks are not accounted to NR_FREE_PAGES counters,
so watermarks check is not required if one operates on a free page in
isolated pageblock.

test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to
specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in
between the two calls.
The usage is
short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX);
...
compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj);
to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum
score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same.
This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls.
The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old value
prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.
To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct
that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags. KSM and swapoff can
now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed
first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj.
This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when reading
/proc/pid/oom_score.

The maximum oom_score_adj is 1000 and the minimum oom_score_adj is -1000,
so this range can be represented by the signed short type with no
functional change. The extra space this frees up in struct signal_struct
will be used for per-thread oom kill flags in the next patch.

The PATCH "mm: introduce compaction and migration for virtio ballooned pages"
hacks around putback_lru_pages() in order to allow ballooned pages to be
re-inserted on balloon page list as if a ballooned page was like a LRU page.
As ballooned pages are not legitimate LRU pages, this patch introduces
putback_movable_pages() to properly cope with cases where the isolated
pageset contains ballooned pages and LRU pages, thus fixing the mentioned
inelegant hack around putback_lru_pages().

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
Besides making balloon pages movable at allocation time and introducing
the necessary primitives to perform balloon page migration/compaction,
this patch also introduces the following locking scheme, in order to
enhance the syncronization methods for accessing elements of struct
virtio_balloon, thus providing protection against concurrent access
introduced by parallel memory migration threads.
- balloon_lock (mutex) : synchronizes the access demand to elements of
struct virtio_balloon and its queue operations;

thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of

This patch introduces a common interface to help a balloon driver on
making its page set movable to compaction, and thus allowing the system
to better leverage the compation efforts on memory defragmentation.

Overhaul struct address_space.assoc_mapping renaming it to
address_space.private_data and its type is redefined to void*. By this
approach we consistently name the .private_* elements from struct
address_space as well as allow extended usage for address_space
association with other data structures through ->private_data.
Also, all users of old ->assoc_mapping element are converted to reflect
its new name and type change (->private_data).

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a
guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced
number of transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
This patch-set follows the main idea discussed at 2012 LSFMMS session:
"Ballooning for transparent huge pages" -- http://lwn.net/Articles/490114/
to introduce the required changes to the virtio_balloon driver, as well as
the changes to the core compaction & migration bits, in order to make
those subsystems aware of ballooned pages and allow memory balloon pages
become movable within a guest, thus avoiding the aforementioned
fragmentation issue
Following are numbers that prove this patch benefits on allowing
compaction to be more effective at memory ballooned guests.
