According to its Kconfig help text, the sbc8360 watchdog driver is
only used on the Axiomtek SBC8360 single-board computer. This piece of
hardware is 32-bit x86 so the driver is useless beyond X86_32.

This function is supposed to return true if the new load imbalance is
worse than the old one. It didn't. I can only hope brown paper bags
are in style.
Now things converge much better on both the 4 node and 8 node systems.
I am not sure why this did not seem to impact specjbb performance on the
4 node system, which is the system I have full-time access to.
This bug was introduced recently, with commit e63da03639cc ("sched/numa:
Allow task switch if load imbalance improves")

shrink_inactive_list() used to wait 0.1s to avoid congestion when all
the pages that were isolated from the inactive list were dirty but not
under active writeback. That makes no real sense, and apparently causes
major interactivity issues under some loads since 3.11.
The ostensible reason for it was to wait for kswapd to start writing
pages, but that seems questionable as well, since the congestion wait
code seems to trigger for kswapd itself as well. Also, the logic behind
delaying anything when we haven't actually started writeback is not
clear - it only delays actually starting that writeback.
We'll still trigger the congestion waiting if
(a) the process is kswapd, and we hit pages flagged for immediate
reclaim
(b) the process is not kswapd, and the zone backing dev writeback is
actually congested.
This probably needs to be revisited, but as it is this fixes a reported
regression.

Patch to prevent warning of a buggy compiler when using clang and
the ARM_UNWIND option.
Clang defines (at least on the current trunk) GNUC, GNUC_MINOR, and
GNUC_PATCHLEVEL to 4, 2, and 1 respectively.
This version of GCC gets flagged as buggy, but it isn't actually an
issue with clang so the patch will do what it did before unless clang
is defined and then it will not report the GCC version as an issue.

With compilers which follow the C99 standard (like modern versions of gcc and

Replaced non-standard C use of Variable Length Arrays In Structs (VLAIS) in
xt_repldata.h with a C99 compliant flexible array member and then calculated
offsets to the other struct members. These other members aren't referenced by
name in this code, however this patch maintains the same memory layout and
padding as was previously accomplished using VLAIS.
Had the original structure been ordered differently, with the entries VLA at
the end, then it could have been a flexible member, and this patch would have
been a lot simpler. However since the data stored in this structure is
ultimately exported to userspace, the order of this structure can't be changed.
This patch makes no attempt to change the existing behavior, merely the way in
which the current layout is accomplished using standard C99 constructs. As such
the code can now be compiled with either gcc or clang.
This version of the patch removes the trailing alignment that the VLAIS
structure would allocate in order to simplify the patch.

Clang only allows it to be applied to a type definition (PR11071).

commit 7d453eee36ae ("x86/efi: Wire up CONFIG_EFI_MIXED") introduced a
regression for the functionality to load kernels above 4G. The relevant
(incorrect) reasoning behind this change can be seen in the commit
message,
"The xloadflags field in the bzImage header is also updated to reflect
that the kernel supports both entry points by setting both of
XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_32 and XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_64 when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y.
XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is disabled so that the kernel text is
guaranteed to be addressable with 32-bits."
This is obviously bogus since 32-bit EFI loaders will never place the
kernel above the 4G mark. So this restriction is entirely unnecessary.
But things are worse than that - since we want to encourage people to
always compile with CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y so that their kernels work out of
the box for both 32-bit and 64-bit firmware, commit 7d453eee36ae
effectively disables XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G completely.
Remove the overzealous and superfluous restriction and restore the
XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G functionality.

Commit 788257d6101d ("ufs: remove the BKL") replaced BKL with mutex
protection using functions lock_ufs, unlock_ufs and struct mutex 'mutex'
in sb_info.
Commit b6963327e052 ("ufs: drop lock/unlock super") removed lock/unlock
super and added struct mutex 's_lock' in sb_info.
Those 2 mutexes are generally locked/unlocked at the same time except in
allocation (balloc, ialloc).
This patch merges the 2 mutexes and propagates first commit solution.
It also adds mutex destruction before kfree during ufs_fill_super
failure and ufs_put_super.

printk is meant to be used with an associated log level. There are some
instances of printk scattered around the mm code where the log level is
missing. Add a log level and adhere to suggestions by
scripts/checkpatch.pl by moving to the pr_* macros.
Also add the typical pr_fmt definition so that print statements can be
easily traced back to the modules where they occur, correlated one with
another, etc. This will require the removal of some (now redundant)
prefixes on a few print statements.

The remap_file_pages() system call is used to create a nonlinear
mapping, that is, a mapping in which the pages of the file are mapped
into a nonsequential order in memory. The advantage of using
remap_file_pages() over using repeated calls to mmap(2) is that the
former approach does not require the kernel to create additional VMA
(Virtual Memory Area) data structures.
Supporting of nonlinear mapping requires significant amount of
non-trivial code in kernel virtual memory subsystem including hot paths.
Also to get nonlinear mapping work kernel need a way to distinguish
normal page table entries from entries with file offset (pte_file).
Kernel reserves flag in PTE for this purpose. PTE flags are scarce
resource especially on some CPU architectures. It would be nice to free
up the flag for other usage.
Fortunately, there are not many users of remap_file_pages() in the wild.
It's only known that one enterprise RDBMS implementation uses the
syscall on 32-bit systems to map files bigger than can linearly fit into
32-bit virtual address space. This use-case is not critical anymore
since 64-bit systems are widely available.
The plan is to deprecate the syscall and replace it with an emulation.
The emulation will create new VMAs instead of nonlinear mappings. It's
going to work slower for rare users of remap_file_pages() but ABI is
preserved.
One side effect of emulation (apart from performance) is that user can
hit vm.max_map_count limit more easily due to additional VMAs. See
comment for DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT for more details on the limit.

Memcg zoneinfo lookup sites have either the page, the zone, or the node
id and zone index, but sites that only have the zone have to look up the
node id and zone index themselves, whereas sites that already have those
two integers use a function for a simple pointer chase.
Provide mem_cgroup_zone_zoneinfo() that takes a zone pointer and let
sites that already have node id and zone index - all for each node, for
each zone iterators - use &memcg->nodeinfo[nid]->zoneinfo[zid].
Rename page_cgroup_zoneinfo() to mem_cgroup_page_zoneinfo() to match.

Kmemleak could ignore memory blocks allocated via memblock_alloc()
leading to false positives during scanning. This patch adds the
corresponding callbacks and removes kmemleak_free_* calls in
mm/nobootmem.c to avoid duplication.
The kmemleak_alloc() in mm/nobootmem.c is kept since
__alloc_memory_core_early() does not use memblock_alloc() directly.

Memory reclaim always uses swappiness of the reclaim target memcg
(origin of the memory pressure) or vm_swappiness for global memory
reclaim. This behavior was consistent (except for difference between
global and hard limit reclaim) because swappiness was enforced to be
consistent within each memcg hierarchy.
After "mm: memcontrol: remove hierarchy restrictions for swappiness and
oom_control" each memcg can have its own swappiness independent of
hierarchical parents, though, so the consistency guarantee is gone.
This can lead to an unexpected behavior. Say that a group is explicitly
configured to not swapout by memory.swappiness=0 but its memory gets
swapped out anyway when the memory pressure comes from its parent with a
It is also unexpected that the knob is meaningless without setting the
hard limit which would trigger the reclaim and enforce the swappiness.
There are setups where the hard limit is configured higher in the
hierarchy by an administrator and children groups are under control of
somebody else who is interested in the swapout behavior but not
necessarily about the memory limit.
From a semantic point of view swappiness is an attribute defining anon
vs.
file proportional scanning of LRU which is memcg specific (unlike
charges which are propagated up the hierarchy) so it should be applied
to the particular memcg's LRU regardless where the memory pressure comes
from.
This patch removes vmscan_swappiness() and stores the swappiness into
the scan_control structure. mem_cgroup_swappiness is then used to
provide the correct value before shrink_lruvec is called. The global
vm_swappiness is used for the root memcg.

Some sysrq handlers can run for a long time, because they dump a lot of
data onto a serial console. Having RCU stall warnings pop up in the
middle of them only makes the problem worse.
This patch temporarily disables RCU stall warnings while a sysrq request
is handled.

Echoing values into /proc/sysrq-trigger seems to be a popular way to get
information out of the kernel. However, dumping information about
thousands of processes, or hundreds of CPUs to serial console can result
in IRQs being blocked for minutes, resulting in various kinds of cascade
failures.
The most common failure is due to interrupts being blocked for a very
long time. This can lead to things like failed IO requests, and other
things the system cannot easily recover from.
This problem is easily fixable by making __handle_sysrq use RCU instead
of spin_lock_irqsave.
This leaves the warning that RCU grace periods have not elapsed for a
long time, but the system will come back from that automatically.
It also leaves sysrq-from-irq-context when the sysrq keys are pressed,
but that is probably desired since people want that to work in
situations where the system is already hosed.
The callers of register_sysrq_key and unregister_sysrq_key appear to be
capable of sleeping.

Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for
trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or
even removed before returning to the caller. Take the lock (shared) in
order to avoid races while iterating through the vmacache and/or rbtree.
