3202e1811f make BINFMT_FLAT a bool
I have not yet seen anyone saying he has a reasonable use case for using
BINFMT_FLAT modular on his embedded device.

Considering that fs/binfmt_flat.c even lacks a MODULE_LICENSE() I really doubt
there is any, and this patch therefore makes BINFMT_FLAT a bool.

f17a32e97e let LOG_BUF_SHIFT default to 17
16 kB is often no longer enough for a normal boot of an UP system.

And even less when people e.g. use suspend.

17 seems to be a more reasonable default for current kernels on current
hardware (it's just the default, anyone who is memory limited can still lower
it).

f7b16c108f cpu: fix section mismatch warning in reference to register_cpu_notifier
Fix following warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xc60): Section mismatch in reference from the function kvm_init() to the function .cpuinit.text:register_cpu_notifier()
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x33869a): Section mismatch in reference from the function xfs_icsb_init_counters() to the function .cpuinit.text:register_cpu_notifier()

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfe6b28): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_register_driver() to the function .cpuinit.text:register_cpu_notifier()

register_cpu_notifier() are only really defined when HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled.
So references to the function are OK.

Annotate it with __ref so we do not get warnings from callers and do not get
warnings for the functions/data used by register_cpu_notifier().

cpu_down is only used from code surrounded by HOTPLUG_CPU so any references to

Add a few __ref to tech modpost to ignore the references.

This is just papering over the fact that the cpu hotplug code is fragile with
respect to use of HOTPLUG_CPU and in many cases rely on __cpuinit to get rid
of code when HOTPLUG_CPU is not enabled.  For now this is the least invasive
change.

95b570c9ce Taint kernel after WARN_ON(condition)
The kernel is sent to tainted within the warn_on_slowpath() function, and
whenever a warning occurs the new taint flag 'W' is set.  This is useful to
know if a warning occurred before a BUG by preserving the warning as a flag
in the taint state.

This does not work on architectures where WARN_ON has its own definition.
These archs are:
	1. s390
	2. superh
	3. avr32
	4. parisc

The maintainers of these architectures have been added in the Cc: list
in this email to alert them to the situation.

The documentation in oops-tracing.txt has been updated to include the
new flag.

ede9c697bc Avoid divides in BITS_TO_LONGS
BITS_PER_LONG is a signed value (32 or 64)

DIV_ROUND_UP(nr, BITS_PER_LONG) performs signed arithmetic if "nr" is signed too.

Converting BITS_TO_LONGS(nr) to DIV_ROUND_UP(nr, BITS_PER_BYTE *
sizeof(long)) makes sure compiler can perform a right shift, even if "nr"
is a signed value, instead of an expensive integer divide.

Applying this patch saves 141 bytes on x86 when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
and speedup bitmap operations.

cdac75e6f2 epoll: avoid kmemcheck warning
Epoll calls rb_set_parent(n, n) to initialize the rb-tree node, but
rb_set_parent() accesses node's pointer in its code.  This creates a
warning in kmemcheck (reported by Vegard Nossum) about an uninitialized
memory access.  The warning is harmless since the following rb-tree node
insert is going to overwrite the node data.  In any case I think it's
better to not have that happening at all, and fix it by simplifying the
code to get rid of a few lines that became superfluous after the previous
epoll changes.

551883ae8c page allocator: explicitly retry hugepage allocations
Add __GFP_REPEAT to hugepage allocations.  Do so to not necessitate userspace
putting pressure on the VM by repeated echo's into /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
to grow the pool.  With the previous patch to allow for large-order
__GFP_REPEAT attempts to loop for a bit (as opposed to indefinitely), this
increases the likelihood of getting hugepages when the system experiences (or
recently experienced) load.

Mel tested the patchset on an x86_32 laptop.  With the patches, it was easier
to use the proc interface to grow the hugepage pool.  The following is the
output of a script that grows the pool as much as possible running on
2.6.25-rc9.

Attempt 3: 74 pages Progress made with 1 pages
Attempt 4: 75 pages Progress made with 1 pages
Attempt 5: 77 pages Progress made with 2 pages

77 pages was the most it allocated but it took 5 attempts from userspace
to get it. With the 3 patches in this series applied,

And 79 pages was the most it got. Your patches were able to allocate the
bulk of possible pages on the first attempt.

a41f24ea9f page allocator: smarter retry of costly-order allocations
Because of page order checks in __alloc_pages(), hugepage (and similarly
large order) allocations will not retry unless explicitly marked
__GFP_REPEAT. However, the current retry logic is nearly an infinite
loop (or until reclaim does no progress whatsoever). For these costly
allocations, that seems like overkill and could potentially never
terminate. Mel observed that allowing current __GFP_REPEAT semantics for
hugepage allocations essentially killed the system. I believe this is
because we may continue to reclaim small orders of pages all over, but
never have enough to satisfy the hugepage allocation request. This is
clearly only a problem for large order allocations, of which hugepages
are the most obvious (to me).

Modify try_to_free_pages() to indicate how many pages were reclaimed.
Use that information in __alloc_pages() to eventually fail a large
__GFP_REPEAT allocation when we've reclaimed an order of pages equal to
or greater than the allocation's order. This relies on lumpy reclaim
functioning as advertised. Due to fragmentation, lumpy reclaim may not
be able to free up the order needed in one invocation, so multiple
iterations may be requred. In other words, the more fragmented memory
is, the more retry attempts __GFP_REPEAT will make (particularly for
higher order allocations).

This changes the semantics of __GFP_REPEAT subtly, but *only* for
allocations > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. With this patch, for those size
allocations, we will try up to some point (at least 1<<order reclaimed
pages), rather than forever (which is the case for allocations <=
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER).

This change improves the /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages interface with a
follow-on patch that makes pool allocations use __GFP_REPEAT. Rather
than administrators repeatedly echo'ing a particular value into the
sysctl, and forcing reclaim into action manually, this change allows for
the sysctl to attempt a reasonable effort itself. Similarly, dynamic
pool growth should be more successful under load, as lumpy reclaim can
try to free up pages, rather than failing right away.

Choosing to reclaim only up to the order of the requested allocation
strikes a balance between not failing hugepage allocations and returning
to the caller when it's unlikely to every succeed. Because of lumpy
reclaim, if we have freed the order requested, hopefully it has been in
big chunks and those chunks will allow our allocation to succeed. If
that isn't the case after freeing up the current order, I don't think it
is likely to succeed in the future, although it is possible given a
particular fragmentation pattern.

ab857d0938 mm: fix misleading __GFP_REPEAT related comments
The definition and use of __GFP_REPEAT, __GFP_NOFAIL and __GFP_NORETRY in the
core VM have somewhat differing comments as to their actual semantics.
Annoyingly, the flags definition has inline and header comments, which might
be interpreted as not being equivalent.  Just add references to the header
comments in the inline ones so they don't go out of sync in the future.  In
their use in __alloc_pages() clarify that the current implementation treats
low-order allocations and __GFP_REPEAT allocations as distinct cases.

To clarify, the flags' semantics are:

__GFP_NORETRY means try no harder than one run through __alloc_pages

__GFP_REPEAT means __GFP_NOFAIL

__GFP_NOFAIL means repeat forever

order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER means __GFP_NOFAIL

86051ca5ea mm: fix usemap initialization
usemap must be initialized only when pfn is within zone.  If not, it corrupts
memory.

And this patch also reduces the number of calls to set_pageblock_migratetype()
from
	(pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages -1)
to
	!(pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages-1)
it should be called once per pageblock.

e7ae1e7ef9 ACER_WMI/ASUS_LAPTOP: fix build bug
randconfig testing in x86.git found the following upstream build bug:

 drivers/built-in.o: In function `acer_led_exit':
 acer-wmi.c:(.text+0xdc76e): undefined reference to `led_classdev_unregister'
 drivers/built-in.o: In function `acer_platform_probe':
 acer-wmi.c:(.devinit.text+0x63e6): undefined reference to `led_classdev_register'

which was due to acer-wmi.o only depending on CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS, while
also using a symbol offered by CONFIG_NEW_LEDS. Also fix a similar bug
in CONFIG_ASUS_LAPTOP.

Add missing select for BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT, as select doesn't select the
dependencies of a symbol for us.

Also, "select INPUT" in Kconfig.  We are not an Input device, nor are we
anywhere close to the input subsystem in the Kconfig tree, so using
"depends on INPUT" is not user-friendly at all.

This way, we don't risk causing trouble for other tasks scheduled to the

run ACPI AML code, trigger SMI traps... and none of those are exactly known
to be fast, simple operations.
