With commit c814a4c7c4aad795835583344353963a0a673eb0, the meaning of tempX_max
was changed. It no longer returns the value of bits 8:15 of
MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET, but instead returns the value of CPU threshold
register T1. tempX_max_hyst was added to reflect the value of temperature
threshold register T0.As it turns out, T0 and T1 are used on some systems, presumably by the BIOS.
Also, T0 and T1 don't have a well defined meaning. The thresholds may be used
as upper or lower limits, and it is not guaranteed that T0

On old CPUs (and even some recent Atom CPUs) TjMax can't be read from
the CPU registers, so it is guessed by the driver using a complex
heuristic which isn't reliable. So let users who know their CPU's
TjMax pass it as a module parameter.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e59f5 ("memcg: add
memory.vmscan_stat").The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg
hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically.The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent
hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between. Usually,
hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level
representing the sum of itself and all its children.Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion
and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now,
we can try again later.Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner

The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE code tries to align the unpack destination to
the value of 'kernel_alignment' in the setup_hdr. If that's 0, it
tries to unpack to address 0, which in fact causes the gunzip code
to call 'error("Out of memory while allocating output buffer")'.The bootloader (ie. the lguest Launcher in this case) should be doing
setting this field; the normal bzImage is 16M, we can use the same.Reported-by: Stefanos Geraggelos

There are three choices:
vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the
corresponding syscalls.vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction
fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of
the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except
that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about
what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read
that code.vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.
