Several IOC3 and IOC4 drivers misuse the __devinit and __devexit section
markers. Use __init and __exit instead as appropriate, then add __devinit
and __devexit where they really belong for PCI drivers.Also make ioc4_serial_init static.

rwsem_is_locked() tests ->activity without locks, so we should always keep
->activity consistent. However, the code in __rwsem_do_wake() breaks this
rule, it updates ->activity after _all_ readers waken up, this may give
some reader a wrong ->activity value, thus cause rwsem_is_locked() behaves
wrong.Quote from Andrew:
"
- we have one or more processes sleeping in down_read(), waiting for access.- we wake one or more processes up without altering ->activity
- they start to run and they do rwsem_is_locked(). This incorrectly
returns "false", because the waker process is still crunching away in
__rwsem_do_wake().- the waker now alters ->activity, but it was too late.
"So we need get a spinlock to protect this. And rwsem_is_locked() should
not block, thus we use spin_trylock_irqsave().[akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify code]

Setting a thread's comm to be something unique is a very useful ability
and is helpful for debugging complicated threaded applications. However
currently the only way to set a thread name is for the thread to name
itself via the PR_SET_NAME prctl.However, there may be situations where it would be advantageous for a
thread dispatcher to be naming the threads its managing, rather then
having the threads self-describe themselves. This sort of behavior is
available on other systems via the pthread_setname_np() interface.This patch exports a task's comm via proc/pid/comm and
proc/pid/task/tid/comm interfaces, and allows thread siblings to write to
these values.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups]

The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory. While this
is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace
under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is
allowed to return uninitialized memory. This can easily be a significant
performance penalty. So for constrained embedded systems were security is
irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily.This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised
memory for the brk and stack region.Signed-off-by: Jie Zhang

If a user asks for a hugepage pool resize but specified a large number,
the machine can begin trashing. In response, they might hit ctrl-c but
signals are ignored and the pool resize continues until it fails an
allocation. This can take a considerable amount of time so this patch
aborts a pool resize if a signal is pending.Suggested by Dave Hansen.

When the owner of a mapping fails COW because a child process is holding a

In AIM7 runs, recent kernels start swapping out anonymous pages well
before they should. This is due to shrink_list falling through to
shrink_inactive_list if !inactive_anon_is_low(zone, sc), when all we
really wanted to do is pre-age some anonymous pages to give them extra
time to be referenced while on the inactive list.The obvious fix is to make sure that shrink_list does not fall through to
scanning/reclaiming inactive pages when we called it to scan one of the
active lists.This change should be safe because the loop in shrink_zone ensures that we
will still shrink the anon and file inactive lists whenever we should.[kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com: inactive_file_is_low() should be inactive_anon_is_low()]
