Eliminate a handful of cache references by keeping current in a register
instead of reloading (helps x86) and avoiding the overhead of a function
call. Inlining eventpoll_init_file() saves 24 bytes. Also reorder file
initialization to make writes occur more sequentially.

Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen
due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs.
If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option.
It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single
time. Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs
to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed.
The patch implements the infrastructure generically in the expectation that
architectures other than x86 will find it useful.

1) Reduce the size of (struct fdtable) to exactly 64 bytes on 32bits
platforms, lowering kmalloc() allocated space by 50%.
2) Reduce the size of (files_struct), using a special 32 bits (or
64bits) embedded_fd_set, instead of a 1024 bits fd_set for the
close_on_exec_init and open_fds_init fields. This save some ram (248
bytes per task) as most tasks dont open more than 32 files. D-Cache
footprint for such tasks is also reduced to the minimum.
3) Reduce size of allocated fdset. Currently two full pages are
allocated, that is 32768 bits on x86 for example, and way too much. The
minimum is now L1_CACHE_BYTES.
UP and SMP should benefit from this patch, because most tasks will touch
only one cache line when open()/close() stdin/stdout/stderr (0/1/2),
(next_fd, close_on_exec_init, open_fds_init, fd_array[0 .. 2] being in the

Linus points out that ext3_readdir's readahead only cuts in when
ext3_readdir() is operating at the very start of the directory. So for large
directories we end up performing no readahead at all and we suck.
So take it all out and use the core VM's page_cache_readahead(). This means
that ext3 directory reads will use all of readahead's dynamic sizing goop.
Note that we're using the directory's filp->f_ra to hold the readahead state,
but readahead is actually being performed against the underlying blockdev's
address_space. Fortunately the readahead code is all set up to handle this.
Tested with printk. It works. I was struggling to find a real workload which
actually cared.

_raw_spin_lock_flags() is entered with interrupts disabled. If it cannot
obtain a spinlock, it checks the flags that were passed and re-enables
interrupts before spinning if that's how the flags are set. When the
spinlock might be available, it disables interrupts (even if they are
already disabled) before trying to get the lock. Change that so interrupts
are only disabled if they have been enabled. This costs nine bytes of
duplicated spinloop code.

I am of the opinion that the above changeset is incomplete, i.e. it missed
converting some previous uses of user_mode to user_mode_vm. While most of
them could be considered just cosmetical, at least the one in die_nmi
doesn't appear to be.

Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously
primarily intended for use by modules. However, the way these currently
get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by
modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger
the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result.
This is because the callback gets invoked
(a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation
gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table
entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and
(b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen,
since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs,
potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.
Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in-
kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed
memory inside their handlers.

The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months
already. The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init,
and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing... OK,
booting kernel", and silence. Early console didn't work too. With the
latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown
interrupt or fault" messages. So today my patience ran out and I started
to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report. Attached
is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem
by making an early console more useable. I can't properly test the patch,
as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope
someone else can justify the intrusive changes.
arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk().
setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype. Moved
setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover
the bug I was fighting with.
early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen,
otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you
can't read them.

In some code I am developing I had occasion to change the type of a

But the code continued to build cleanly without errors.
Introducing a temporary fixes this problem and at least with gcc-3.3.5 does
not cause gcc any problems with optimizing out the temporary. gcc-4.x
using SSA internally ought to be even better at optimizing out temporaries,
so I don't expect a temporary to become a problem. Especially because in
all correct cases the types on both sides of the assignment to the
temporary are the same.

Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different
code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.
With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
of CPUs goes up to 2.
Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
afterwards.
The changes in detail:
* The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
the SMP alternatives code is added there.
* The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
.smp_altinstructions
like .altinstructions, also contains a list
of alt_instr structs.
.smp_altinstr_replacement
like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
save original instruction before replaving it.
.smp_locks
list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
out on UP.
The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible
to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.
* The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
can be free if they are not needed.
* Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced
is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to
verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping.
is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement
prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own.
Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same
implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range(). On powerpc, which
implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never
used.
In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it
suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range,
whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed).
This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range(). Instead
prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly. Most archs use the default
version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a
hugepage. ia64 and powerpc define custom versions. The ia64 one simply
checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to
being suitably aligned. The powerpc version (just as previously) checks
for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to
set up new areas for use by hugepages.
