This patch creates a synchronize_srcu_expedited() that uses
synchronize_sched_expedited() where synchronize_srcu()
uses synchronize_sched(). The synchronize_srcu() and
synchronize_srcu_expedited() functions become one-liners that
pass synchronize_sched() or synchronize_sched_expedited(),
repectively, to a new __synchronize_srcu() function.
While in the file, move the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()s to immediately
follow the corresponding functions.

This patch is a version of RCU designed for !SMP provided for a
small-footprint RCU implementation. In particular, the
implementation of synchronize_rcu() is extremely lightweight and
high performance. It passes rcutorture testing in each of the
four relevant configurations (combinations of NO_HZ and PREEMPT)
on x86. This saves about 1K bytes compared to old Classic RCU
(which is no longer in mainline), and more than three kilobytes
compared to Hierarchical RCU (updated to 2.6.30):
CONFIG_TREE_RCU:
text data bss dec filename
183 4 0 187 kernel/rcupdate.o
2783 520 36 3339 kernel/rcutree.o
3526 Total (vs 4565 for v7)
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU:
text data bss dec filename
263 4 0 267 kernel/rcupdate.o
4594 776 52 5422 kernel/rcutree.o
5689 Total (6155 for v7)
CONFIG_TINY_RCU:
text data bss dec filename
96 4 0 100 kernel/rcupdate.o
734 24 0 758 kernel/rcutiny.o
858 Total (vs 848 for v7)
The above is for x86. Your mileage may vary on other platforms.
Further compression is possible, but is being procrastinated.
Changes from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/9/388)
o Apply Lai Jiangshan's review comments (aside from
might_sleep() in synchronize_sched(), which is covered by SMP builds).
o Fix up expedited primitives.
Changes from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/23/293).
o Forward ported to put it into the 2.6.33 stream.
o Added lockdep support.
o Make lightweight rcu_barrier.
Changes from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/23/12).
o Ported to latest pre-2.6.32 merge window kernel.
- Renamed rcu_qsctr_inc() to rcu_sched_qs().
- Renamed rcu_bh_qsctr_inc() to rcu_bh_qs().
- Provided trivial rcu_cpu_notify().
- Provided trivial exit_rcu().
- Provided trivial rcu_needs_cpu().
- Fixed up the rcu_*_enter/exit() functions in linux/hardirq.h.
o Removed the dependence on EMBEDDED, with a view to making
TINY_RCU default for !SMP at some time in the future.
o Added (trivial) support for expedited grace periods.
Changes from v4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/2/91) include:
o Squeeze the size down a bit further by removing the
->completed field from struct rcu_ctrlblk.
o This permits synchronize_rcu() to become the empty function.
Previous concerns about rcutorture were unfounded, as
rcutorture correctly handles a constant value from
rcu_batches_completed() and rcu_batches_completed_bh().
Changes from v3 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/221) include:
o Changed rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh()
rcu_enter_nohz(), rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter(), and
rcu_nmi_exit(), to be static inlines, as suggested by David
Howells. Doing this saves about 100 bytes from rcutiny.o.
(The numbers between v3 and this v4 of the patch are not directly
comparable, since they are against different versions of Linux.)
Changes from v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/3/333) include:
o Fix whitespace issues.
o Change short-circuit "||" operator to instead be "+" in order
to fix performance bug noted by "kraai" on LWN.
(http://lwn.net/Articles/324348/)
Changes from v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/13/440) include:
o This version depends on EMBEDDED as well as !SMP, as suggested
by Ingo.
o Updated rcu_needs_cpu() to unconditionally return zero,
permitting the CPU to enter dynticks-idle mode at any time.
This works because callbacks can be invoked upon entry to
dynticks-idle mode.
o Paul is now OK with this being included, based on a poll at
the Kernel Miniconf at linux.conf.au, where about ten people said
that they cared about saving 900 bytes on single-CPU systems.
o Applies to both mainline and tip/core/rcu.

Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.
These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.
However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has
the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular
allocations.

The following user-space program fails to compile:

The reason is that <linux/socket.h> tests __GLIBC__ to decide whether it
should define various structures and macros that are now defined for
user-space by <sys/socket.h>, but __GLIBC__ is not defined if no libc
headers have yet been included.

This patch clean up/fixes for memcg's uncharge soft limit path.
Problems:
Now, res_counter_charge()/uncharge() handles softlimit information at
charge/uncharge and softlimit-check is done when event counter per memcg
goes over limit. Now, event counter per memcg is updated only when
memory usage is over soft limit. Here, considering hierarchical memcg
management, ancesotors should be taken care of.
Now, ancerstors(hierarchy) are handled in charge() but not in uncharge().
This is not good.
Prolems:
1. memcg's event counter incremented only when softlimit hits. That's bad.
It makes event counter hard to be reused for other purpose.
2. At uncharge, only the lowest level rescounter is handled. This is bug.
Because ancesotor's event counter is not incremented, children should
take care of them.
3. res_counter_uncharge()'s 3rd argument is NULL in most case.
ops under res_counter->lock should be small. No "if" sentense is better.
Fixes:
* Removed soft_limit_xx poitner and checks in charge and uncharge.
Do-check-only-when-necessary scheme works enough well without them.
* make event-counter of memcg incremented at every charge/uncharge.
(per-cpu area will be accessed soon anyway)
* All ancestors are checked at soft-limit-check. This is necessary because
ancesotor's event counter may never be modified. Then, they should be
checked at the same time.

Currently we set the bio size to the byte equivalent of the blocks to
be trimmed when submitting the initial DISCARD ioctl. That means it
is subject to the max_hw_sectors limitation of the HBA which is
much lower than the size of a DISCARD request we can support.
Add a separate max_discard_sectors tunable to limit the size for discard
requests.
We limit the max discard request size in bytes to 32bit as that is the
limit for bio->bi_size. This could be much larger if we had a way to pass
that information through the block layer.

prepare_discard_fn() was being called in a place where memory allocation
was effectively impossible. This makes it inappropriate for all but
the most trivial translations of Linux's DISCARD operation to the block
command set. Additionally adding a payload there makes the ownership
of the bio backing unclear as it's now allocated by the device driver
and not the submitter as usual.
It is replaced with QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD which is used to indicate whether
the queue supports discard operations or not. blkdev_issue_discard now
allocates a one-page, sector-length payload which is the right thing
for the common ATA and SCSI implementations.
The mtd implementation of prepare_discard_fn() is replaced with simply
checking for the request being a discard.
Largely based on a previous patch from Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
which did the prepare_discard_fn but not the different payload allocation
yet.

The following commit made console open fails while booting:
commit b50989dc44
Author: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>
Date: Sat Sep 19 13:13:22 2009 -0700
tty: make the kref destructor occur asynchronously
Due to tty release routines run in a workqueue now, error like the
following will be reported while booting:
INIT open /dev/console Input/output error
It also causes hibernation regression to appear as reported at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14229
The reason is that now there's latency issue with closing, but when
we open a "closing not finished" tty, -EIO will be returned.
Fix it as per the following Alan's suggestion:
Fun but it's actually not a bug and the fix is wrong in itself as
the port may be closing but not yet being destructed, in which case
it seems to do the wrong thing. Opening a tty that is closing (and
could be closing for long periods) is supposed to return -EIO.
I suspect a better way to deal with this and keep the old console
timing is to split tty->shutdown into two functions.
tty->shutdown() - called synchronously just before we dump the tty
onto the waitqueue for destruction
tty->cleanup() - called when the destructor runs.
We would then do the shutdown part which can occur in IRQ context
fine, before queueing the rest of the release (from tty->magic = 0
... the end) to occur asynchronously
The USB update in -next would then need a call like
if (tty->cleanup)
tty->cleanup(tty);
at the top of the async function and the USB shutdown to be split
between shutdown and cleanup as the USB resource cleanup and final
tidy cannot occur synchronously as it needs to sleep.
In other words the logic becomes
final kref put
make object unfindable
async
clean it up

* mark struct vm_area_struct::vm_ops as const
* mark vm_ops in AGP code
But leave TTM code alone, something is fishy there with global vm_ops
being used.

This reverts commit 645069299a.
While the code does not actually break anything, it does not completely follow
RFC5214 yet. After talking back with Fred L. Templin, I agree that completing the
ISATAP specific RS/RA code, would pollute the kernel a lot with code that is better
implemented in userspace.
The kernel should not send RS packages for ISATAP at all.
