NR_PAGEFLAGS specifies the number of page flags we are using. From that we
can calculate the number of bits leftover that can be used for zone, node (and
maybe the sections id). There is no need anymore for FLAGS_RESERVED if we use
NR_PAGEFLAGS.Use the new methods to make NR_PAGEFLAGS available via the preprocessor.
NR_PAGEFLAGS is used to calculate field boundaries in the page flags fields.
These field widths have to be available to the preprocessor.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

The use of enums create constants that are not available to the preprocessor
when building the kernel (f.e. MAX_NR_ZONES).Arch code already has a way to export constants calculated to the preprocessor
through the asm-offsets.c file. Generate something similar for the core
kernel through kbuild.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations
controlled by that mempolicy. As the per-node zonelist is already being
filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that
takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for
MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered
zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with
available memory.[Lee.Schermerhorn@hp.com: Mempolicy: update stale documentation and comments]

Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly
as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As
the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx
could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is
significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily
used.This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone
index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which
are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as
well as the node index.[kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: Suggested struct zoneref instead of embedding information in pointers]

The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to
virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie
function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to
reserve space in the page table:
s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed
and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table.Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE.
This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static.
Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's
review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in
include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now
call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

fix __aggregate_redistribute_shares() related lockup reported by
David S. Miller.The problem this code tries to solve is 'accurately' calculating the 'fair'
share of the group weight for each cpu. The current code falls back to a global
group rebalance in case the sched_domain's span it looks at has no shares, but
does have tasks.The reason it gets stuck here, is because its inherently racy - if someone
steals the last task after we compute the agg->rq_weight, but before we
rebalance, we'll never get out of the loop.We could of course go fix that, but while looking at this issue I found that
this 'fallback' wasn't nearly as rare as I'd hoped it to be. In fact its quite
common - and given it walks the whole machine, thats very bad.The new approach is simple (why didn't I think of it before?), we set the
aggregate shares to the full task group weight, and each larger sched domain
that encounters an aggregate shares larger than the weight, clips it (it
already re-distributes anyway).This nicely converges to the desired global picture where the sum of all
shares equals the task group weight.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra

This adds support for PTRACE_GETSIGINFO and PTRACE_SETSIGINFO in
compat_ptrace_request. It relies on existing arch definitions for
copy_siginfo_to_user32 and copy_siginfo_from_user32.On powerpc, this fixes a longstanding regression of 32-bit ptrace
calls on 64-bit kernels vs native calls (64-bit calls or 32-bit
kernels). This can be seen in a 32-bit call using PTRACE_GETSIGINFO
to examine e.g. siginfo_t.si_addr from a signal that sets it.

The previous optimization did not take the case into account where a
clock provides its own softirq_get_time() function.Check for the availablitiy of the clock get time function first and
then check if we need to retrieve the time for both clocks via
hrtimer_softirq_gettime() to avoid a double evaluation of time in that
case as well.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

It seems that hrtimer_run_queues() is calling hrtimer_get_softirq_time() more
often than it needs to. This can cause frequent contention on systems with
large numbers of processors/cores.With this patch, hrtimer_run_queues only calls hrtimer_get_softirq_time() if
there is a pending timer in one of the hrtimer bases, and only once.This also combines hrtimer_run_queues() and the inline run_hrtimer_queue()
into one function.[ tglx@linutronix.de: coding style ]

In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the
root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit.A
/ \
B 1
/ \
2 3To compute 1's load we do:
weight(1)
--------------
rq_weight(A)To compute 2's load we do:
weight(2) weight(B)
------------ * -----------
rq_weight(B) rw_weight(A)This yields load fractions in comparable units.
The consequence is that it changes virtual time. We used to have:
time_{i}
vtime_{i} = ------------
weight_{i}vtime = \Sum vtime_{i} = time / rq_weight.
But with the new way of load calculation we get that vtime equals time.
