5f0e3da6e1 alpha: convert u64 to unsigned long long
Convert alpha architecture to use u64 as unsigned long long.  This is
being done so that (a) all arches use u64 as unsigned long long and (b)
printk of a u64 as %ll[ux] will not generate format warnings by gcc.

The only gcc cross-compiler that I have is 4.0.2, which generates errors
about miscompiling __weak references, so I have commented out that line in
compiler-gcc4.h so that most of these compile, but more builds and real
machine testing would be Real Good.

a6209d6d71 alpha: xchg/cmpxchg cleanup and fixes
- "_local" versions of xchg/cmpxchg functions duplicate code
  of non-local ones (quite a few pages of assembler), except
  memory barriers. We can generate these two variants from a
  single header file using simple macros;

- convert xchg macro back to inline function using always_inline
  attribute;

- use proper argument types for cmpxchg_u8/u16 functions
  to fix a problem with negative arguments.

9fab5619bd shmem: writepage directly to swap
Synopsis: if shmem_writepage calls swap_writepage directly, most shmem
swap loads benefit, and a catastrophic interaction between SLUB and some
flash storage is avoided.

shmem_writepage() has always been peculiar in making no attempt to write:
it has just transferred a shmem page from file cache to swap cache, then
let that page make its way around the LRU again before being written and
freed.

The idea was that people use tmpfs because they want those pages to stay
in RAM; so although we give it an overflow to swap, we should resist
writing too soon, giving those pages a second chance before they can be
reclaimed.

That was always questionable, and I've toyed with this patch for years;
but never had a clear justification to depart from the original design.

It became more questionable in 2.6.28, when the split LRU patches classed
shmem and tmpfs pages as SwapBacked rather than as file_cache: that in
itself gives them more resistance to reclaim than normal file pages.  I
prepared this patch for 2.6.29, but the merge window arrived before I'd
completed gathering statistics to justify sending it in.

Then while comparing SLQB against SLUB, running SLUB on a laptop I'd
habitually used with SLAB, I found SLUB to run my tmpfs kbuild swapping
tests five times slower than SLAB or SLQB - other machines slower too, but
nowhere near so bad.  Simpler "cp -a" swapping tests showed the same.

slub_max_order=0 brings sanity to all, but heavy swapping is too far from
normal to justify such a tuning.  The crucial factor on that laptop turns
out to be that I'm using an SD card for swap.  What happens is this:

By default, SLUB uses order-2 pages for shmem_inode_cache (and many other
fs inodes), so creating tmpfs files under memory pressure brings lumpy
reclaim into play.  One subpage of the order is chosen from the bottom of
the LRU as usual, then the other three picked out from their random
positions on the LRUs.

In a tmpfs load, many of these pages will be ones which already passed
through shmem_writepage, so already have swap allocated.  And though their
offsets on swap were probably allocated sequentially, now that the pages
are picked off at random, their swap offsets are scattered.

But the flash storage on the SD card is very sensitive to having its
writes merged: once swap is written at scattered offsets, performance
falls apart.  Rotating disk seeks increase too, but less disastrously.

So: stop giving shmem/tmpfs pages a second pass around the LRU, write them
out to swap as soon as their swap has been allocated.

It's surely possible to devise an artificial load which runs faster the
old way, one whose sizing is such that the tmpfs pages on their second
pass are the ones that are wanted again, and other pages not.

But I've not yet found such a load: on all machines, under the loads I've
tried, immediate swap_writepage speeds up shmem swapping: especially when
using the SLUB allocator (and more effectively than slub_max_order=0), but
also with the others; and it also reduces the variance between runs.  How
much faster varies widely: a factor of five is rare, 5% is common.

One load which might have suffered: imagine a swapping shmem load in a
limited mem_cgroup on a machine with plenty of memory.  Before 2.6.29 the
swapcache was not charged, and such a load would have run quickest with
the shmem swapcache never written to swap.  But now swapcache is charged,
so even this load benefits from shmem_writepage directly to swap.

Apologies for the #ifndef CONFIG_SWAP swap_writepage() stub in swap.h:
it's silly because that will never get called; but refactoring shmem.c
sensibly according to CONFIG_SWAP will be a separate task.

327c0e9686 vmscan: fix it to take care of nodemask
try_to_free_pages() is used for the direct reclaim of up to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages when watermarks are low.  The caller to
alloc_pages_nodemask() can specify a nodemask of nodes that are allowed to
be used but this is not passed to try_to_free_pages().  This can lead to
unnecessary reclaim of pages that are unusable by the caller and int the
worst case lead to allocation failure as progress was not been make where
it is needed.

This patch passes the nodemask used for alloc_pages_nodemask() to
try_to_free_pages().

56a76f8275 fs: fix page_mkwrite error cases in core code and btrfs
page_mkwrite is called with neither the page lock nor the ptl held.  This
means a page can be concurrently truncated or invalidated out from
underneath it.  Callers are supposed to prevent truncate races themselves,
however previously the only thing they can do in case they hit one is to
raise a SIGBUS.  A sigbus is wrong for the case that the page has been
invalidated or truncated within i_size (eg.  hole punched).  Callers may
also have to perform memory allocations in this path, where again, SIGBUS
would be wrong.

The previous patch ("mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault")
made it possible to properly specify errors.  Convert the generic buffer.c
code and btrfs to return sane error values (in the case of page removed
from pagecache, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE will cause the fault handler to exit
without doing anything, and the fault will be retried properly).

This fixes core code, and converts btrfs as a template/example.  All other
filesystems defining their own page_mkwrite should be fixed in a similar
manner.

c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

c2fdf3a9b2 mm: enable hashdist by default on 64bit NUMA
On PowerPC we allocate large boot time hashes on node 0.  This leads to an
imbalance in the free memory, for example on a 64GB box (4 x 16GB nodes):

Free memory:
Node 0: 97.03%
Node 1: 98.54%
Node 2: 98.42%
Node 3: 98.53%

If we switch to using vmalloc (like ia64 and x86-64) things are more
balanced:

Free memory:
Node 0: 97.53%
Node 1: 98.35%
Node 2: 98.33%
Node 3: 98.33%

For many HPC applications we are limited by the free available memory on
the smallest node, so even though the same amount of memory is used the
better balancing helps.

Since all 64bit NUMA capable architectures should have sufficient vmalloc
space, it makes sense to enable it via CONFIG_64BIT.

704503d836 mm: fix proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies "breakage"
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9838

On i386, HZ=1000, jiffies_to_clock_t() converts time in a somewhat strange
way from the user's point of view:

	# echo 500 >/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
	# cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
	499

So, we have 5000 jiffies converted to only 499 clock ticks and reported
back.

TICK_NSEC = 999848
ACTHZ = 256039

Keeping in-kernel variable in units passed from userspace will fix issue
of course, but this probably won't be right for every sysctl.

6a11f75b6a generic debug pagealloc
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390.  This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().

This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

610a77e04a memdup_user(): introduce
I notice there are many places doing copy_from_user() which follows
kmalloc():

        dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);

        if (copy_from_user(dst, src, len)) {
		kfree(dst);
		return -EFAULT
	}

memdup_user() is a wrapper of the above code.  With this new function, we
don't have to write 'len' twice, which can lead to typos/mistakes.  It
also produces smaller code and kernel text.

A quick grep shows 250+ places where memdup_user() *may* be used.  I'll
prepare a patchset to do this conversion.

bd2f6199cf vmscan: respect higher order in zone_reclaim()
During page allocation, there are two stages of direct reclaim that are
applied to each zone in the preferred list.  The first stage using
zone_reclaim() reclaims unmapped file backed pages and slab pages if over
defined limits as these are cheaper to reclaim.  The caller specifies the
order of the target allocation but the scan control is not being correctly
initialised.

The impact is that the correct number of pages are being reclaimed but
that lumpy reclaim is not being applied.  This increases the chances of a
full direct reclaim via try_to_free_pages() is required.

This patch initialises the order field of the scan control as requested by
the caller.

bd775c42ea mm: add comment why mark_page_accessed() would be better than pte_mkyoung() in follow_page()
At first look, mark_page_accessed() in follow_page() seems a bit strange.
It seems pte_mkyoung() would be better consistent with other kernel code.

However, it is intentional. The commit log said:

    ------------------------------------------------
    commit 9e45f61d69be9024a2e6bef3831fb04d90fac7a8
    Author: akpm <akpm>
    Date:   Fri Aug 15 07:24:59 2003 +0000

    [PATCH] Use mark_page_accessed() in follow_page()

    Touching a page via follow_page() counts as a reference so we should be
    either setting the referenced bit in the pte or running mark_page_accessed().

    Altering the pte is tricky because we haven't implemented an atomic
    pte_mkyoung().  And mark_page_accessed() is better anyway because it has more
    aging state: it can move the page onto the active list.

    BKrev: 3f3c8acbplT8FbwBVGtth7QmnqWkIw
    ------------------------------------------------

The atomic issue is still true nowadays. adding comment help to understand
code intention and it would be better.

9786bf841d vmscan: clip swap_cluster_max in shrink_all_memory()
shrink_inactive_list() scans in sc->swap_cluster_max chunks until it hits
the scan limit it was passed.

shrink_inactive_list()
{
	do {
		isolate_pages(swap_cluster_max)
		shrink_page_list()
	} while (nr_scanned < max_scan);
}

This assumes that swap_cluster_max is not bigger than the scan limit
because the latter is checked only after at least one iteration.

In shrink_all_memory() sc->swap_cluster_max is initialized to the overall
reclaim goal in the beginning but not decreased while reclaim is making
progress which leads to subsequent calls to shrink_inactive_list()
reclaiming way too much in the one iteration that is done unconditionally.

Set sc->swap_cluster_max always to the proper goal before doing
  shrink_all_zones()
    shrink_list()
      shrink_inactive_list().

While the current shrink_all_memory() happily reclaims more than actually
requested, this patch fixes it to never exceed the goal:

d979677c4c mm: shrink_all_memory(): use sc.nr_reclaimed
Commit a79311c14e "vmscan: bail out of
direct reclaim after swap_cluster_max pages" moved the nr_reclaimed
counter into the scan control to accumulate the number of all reclaimed
pages in a reclaim invocation.

shrink_all_memory() can use the same mechanism. it increase code
consistency and redability.

ee99c71c59 mm: introduce for_each_populated_zone() macro
Impact: cleanup

In almost cases, for_each_zone() is used with populated_zone().  It's
because almost function doesn't need memoryless node information.
Therefore, for_each_populated_zone() can help to make code simplify.

This patch has no functional change.

a6dc60f897 vmscan: rename sc.may_swap to may_unmap
sc.may_swap does not only influence reclaiming of anon pages but pages
mapped into pagetables in general, which also includes mapped file pages.

In shrink_page_list():

		if (!sc->may_swap && page_mapped(page))
			goto keep_locked;

For anon pages, this makes sense as they are always mapped and reclaiming
them always requires swapping.

But mapped file pages are skipped here as well and it has nothing to do
with swapping.

The real effect of the knob is whether mapped pages are unmapped and
reclaimed or not.  Rename it to `may_unmap' to have its name match its
actual meaning more precisely.
