Ulrich Drepper d35c7b0e54 unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation
This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
one unified implementation.  This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
code.

It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)

I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
isn't needed.  The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
no obstacles.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt b70d3a2c59 iomap: fix 64 bits resources on 32 bits
Almost all implementations of pci_iomap() in the kernel, including the generic
lib/iomap.c one, copies the content of a struct resource into unsigned long's
which will break on 32 bits platforms with 64 bits resources.

This fixes all definitions of pci_iomap() to use resource_size_t.  I also
"fixed" the 64bits arch for consistency.

Mel Gorman dd1a239f6f mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idx
Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx().  This is costly
as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation.  As
the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible.  The node idx
could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is
significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily
used.

This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone
index.  The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which
are looked up as necessary.  Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as
well as the node index.

Mel Gorman 54a6eb5c47 mm: use two zonelist that are filtered by GFP mask
Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the
system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations.  Based on the zones
allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected.  All of these
zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines.

This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists.  The
first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for
fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages.  The
second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE
allocations.

An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates
through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

Jan Blunck 4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

Bernhard Walle 72a7fe3967 Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.

This patch:

Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

Adrian Bunk 03502faa25 remove Documentation/smp.txt
After seeing the filename I'd have expected something about the
implementation of SMP in the Linux kernel - not some notes on kernel
configuration and building trivialities noone would search at this
place.

Mathieu Desnoyers 125e564582 Move Kconfig.instrumentation to arch/Kconfig and init/Kconfig
Move the instrumentation Kconfig to

arch/Kconfig for architecture dependent options
  - oprofile
  - kprobes

and

init/Kconfig for architecture independent options
  - profiling
  - markers

Remove the "Instrumentation Support" menu. Everything moves to "General setup".
Delete the kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation file.

Mathieu Desnoyers 42d4b839c8 Add HAVE_OPROFILE
Linus:
On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like

        depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32

really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.

It would be much better to do

        depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES

in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a

        bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                default y

in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...

Changelog:

Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
it, I realize that I should have told you to just use

        config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                def_bool y

instead, which is a bit denser.

We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
what "def_bool" is there for...

Changelog :

- Moving to HAVE_*.
- Add AVR32 oprofile.

Nick Piggin 95c354fe9f spinlock: lockbreak cleanup
The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.

Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.

Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).
