Andrew explains:
- various misc stuff
- Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.
- cpumask
- kexec
- kdump
- some direct-io performance tweaking
- radix-tree optimisations
- new selftests code
A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets
thrown into Documentation/(!).This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance
or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
evolves.- checkpoint/restart feature work.
A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
expose something new or which permit something which is normally
kernel-private to be modified.The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size
and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all
eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

Currently no udev events for memory hotplug "online" and "offline" are
generated:# udevadm monitor
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory4/state
==> No eventWhen kdump is loaded, kexec detects the current memory configuration and
stores it in the pre-allocated ELF core header. Therefore, for kdump it
is necessary to reload the kdump kernel with kexec when the memory
configuration changes (e.g. for online/offline hotplug memory).In order to do this automatically, udev rules should be used. This kernel
patch adds udev events for "online" and "offline". Together with this
kernel patch, the following udev rules for online/offline have to be added
to "/etc/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules":SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="online", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"

When TX time stamping for PTP messages is enabled on a socket, a time
stamp is returned on the socket error queue to the user space application
after the frame was transmitted. The transmitted frame is also returned on
the error queue so that an application knows to which frame the time stamp
belongs.In the current implementation the TxFCB is immediately followed by the
frame. Since the eTSEC inserts the TX time stamp 8 bytes after the TxFCB,
parts of the frame have been overwritten and an invalid frame was returned
on the socket error queue.This patch fixes the described problem by adding additional 16 padding
bytes between the TxFCB and the frame for all messages sent from a time
stamping enabled socket (other sockets are not affected).Signed-off-by: Manfred Rudigier

When there is not enough headroom in the skb a private copy will be made.
However, the private copy had no reference to the socket and consequently
no time stamp could be queued on the socket error queue during the
skb_tstamp_tx function. This patch fixes this issue by also stealing the
sock reference from the original skb after making the private copy.Signed-off-by: Manfred Rudigier

Introduce function mdiobus_alloc_size() as an alternative to mdiobus_alloc().
Most callers of mdiobus_alloc() also allocate a private data structure, and
then manually point bus->priv to this object. mdiobus_alloc_size()
combines the two operations into one, which simplifies memory management.The original mdiobus_alloc() now just calls mdiobus_alloc_size(0).

It appears that you can only read the sprom contents with aligned 16-bit
reads: anything else causes at least some versions of the broadcom
chipset to abort the PCI transaction, returning 0xff.This apparently doesn't trigger very often, because most setups don't
use an external srom chip, and the OTP sprom loading doesn't have this
issue. But at least the current 11" Macbook Air does trigger it, and
wireless communications were broken as a result.Acked-by: Arend van Spriel

Handling balloon hibernate / restore is tricky. If the balloon was
inflated before going into the hibernation state, upon resume, the host
will not have any memory of that. Any pages that were passed on to the
host earlier would most likely be invalid, and the host will have to
re-balloon to the previous value to get in the pre-hibernate state.So the only sane thing for the guest to do here is to discard all the
pages that were put in the balloon. When to discard the pages is the
next question.One solution is to deflate the balloon just before writing the image to
the disk (in the freeze() PM callback). However, asking for pages from
the host just to discard them immediately after seems wasteful of
resources. Hence, it makes sense to do this by just fudging our
counters soon after wakeup. This means we don't deflate the balloon
before sleep, and also don't put unnecessary pressure on the host.This also helps in the thaw case: if the freeze fails for whatever
reason, the balloon should continue to remain in the inflated state.
This was tested by issuing 'swapoff -a' and trying to go into the S4
state. That fails, and the balloon stays inflated, as expected. Both
the host and the guest are happy.Finally, in the restore() callback, we empty the list of pages that were
previously given off to the host, add the appropriate number of pages to
the totalram_pages counter, reset the num_pages counter to 0, and
all is fine.As a last step, delete the vqs on the freeze callback to prepare for
hibernation, and re-create them in the restore and thaw callbacks to
resume normal operation.The kthread doesn't race with any operations here, since it's frozen
before the freeze() call and is thawed after the thaw() and restore()
callbacks, so we're safe with that.Signed-off-by: Amit Shah
