Impact: save .text size when kexec is built in but not loaded
This patch adds an architecture specific struct kimage_arch into
struct kimage. The pointers to page table pages used by kexec are
added to struct kimage_arch. The page tables pages are dynamically
allocated in machine_kexec_prepare instead of statically from BSS
segment. This will save up to 20k memory when kexec image is not
loaded.Signed-off-by: Huang Ying

Impact: save kernel .text by loosening kexec page alignment
This patch removes PAGE_SIZE alignment from relocate_kernel(). Before
kexec jump patches are merged, control page is mapped to
relocate_kernel in kexec page tables, so relocate_kernel must be
PAGE_SIZE aligned. Now, control page is mapped to identity mapped
address, so relocate_kernel need not to be PAGE_SIZE aligned any
more. This can reduce a few KB from kernel text segement.Signed-off-by: Huang Ying

Impact: fix /proc/cpuinfo output on x86/Voyager

| x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu arrayWe've had an extra field in cpuinfo_x86 which is cpu_index.
Unfortunately, voyager has never initialised this, although the only
noticeable impact seems to be that /proc/cpuinfo shows all zeros for
the processor ids.Anyway, fix this by initialising the boot CPU properly and setting the
index when the secondaries update.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

Impact: build fix on non-lockdep architectures
Some architectures do not support a way to read the irq flags that
is set from "local_irq_save(flags)" to determine if interrupts were
disabled or enabled. Ftrace uses this information to display to the user
if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled.Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to
compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply
say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing
the real answer.This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the
architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer
to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those
same archs compile with tracing enabled.Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Impact: allow /dev/mem mmaps on non-PAT CPUs/platforms
Fix mmap to /dev/mem when CONFIG_X86_PAT is off and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is
offmmap to /dev/mem on kernel memory has been failing since the
introduction of PAT (CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n case). Seems like
the check to avoid cache aliasing with PAT is kicking in even
when PAT is disabled. The bug seems to have crept in 2.6.26.This patch makes sure that the mmap to regular
kernel memory succeeds if CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n and
PAT is disabled, and the checks to avoid cache aliasing
still happens if PAT is enabled.Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai

Junjiro R. Okajima reported a problem where knfsd crashes if you are
using it to export shmemfs objects and run strict overcommit. In this
situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a
NULL pointer.We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught
other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did
need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago).To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking
around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappersAlso fix a current->mm reference in nommu that should use the passed mm
