rcu: move PREEMPT_RCU config option back under PREEMPT
The original preemptible-RCU patch put the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU into kernel/Kconfig.preempt, which resulted in build failures
on machines not supporting CONFIG_PREEMPT. This choice was therefore moved to
init/Kconfig, which worked, but placed the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU at the top level, a very obtuse choice indeed.
This patch changes from the Kconfig "choice" mechanism to a pair of booleans,
only one of which (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) is user-visible, and is located in
kernel/Kconfig.preempt, where one would expect it to be. The other
(CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU) is in init/Kconfig so that it is available to all
architectures, hopefully avoiding build breakage. Thanks to Roman Zippel for
suggesting this approach.

hugetlb: correct page count for surplus huge pages
Free pages in the hugetlb pool are free and as such have a reference count of
zero. Regular allocations into the pool from the buddy are "freed" into the
pool which results in their page_count dropping to zero. However, surplus
pages can be directly utilized by the caller without first being freed to the
pool. Therefore, a call to put_page_testzero() is in order so that such a
page will be handed to the caller with a correct count.
This has not affected end users because the bad page count is reset before the

the page count is validated.

mempolicy: fix reference counting bugs
Address 3 known bugs in the current memory policy reference counting method.
I have a series of patches to rework the reference counting to reduce overhead
in the allocation path. However, that series will require testing in -mm once
I repost it.
1) alloc_page_vma() does not release the extra reference taken for
vma/shared mempolicy when the mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in
leaking mempolicy structures. This is probably occurring, but not being
noticed.
Fix: add the conditional release of the reference.
2) hugezonelist unconditionally releases a reference on the mempolicy when
mode == MPOL_INTERLEAVE. This can result in decrementing the reference
count for system default policy [should have no ill effect] or premature
freeing of task policy. If this occurred, the next allocation using task
mempolicy would use the freed structure and probably BUG out.
Fix: add the necessary check to the release.
3) The current reference counting method assumes that vma 'get_policy()'
methods automatically add an extra reference a non-NULL returned mempolicy.
This is true for shmem_get_policy() used by tmpfs mappings, including
regular page shm segments. However, SHM_HUGETLB shm's, backed by
hugetlbfs, just use the vma policy without the extra reference. This
results in freeing of the vma policy on the first allocation, with reuse of
the freed mempolicy structure on subsequent allocations.
Fix: Rather than add another condition to the conditional reference
release, which occur in the allocation path, just add a reference when
returning the vma policy in shm_get_policy() to match the assumptions.

This solves the hung reboot regression reported by Andrew Morton and
others.
While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out
by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after
the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made
against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource,
causing error.
The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH
definition has also made it up-stream as commit e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84
Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated
based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT
driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit).
This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes
CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST.
This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies
clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it
should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for.
For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the
"ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

x86_64: make ptrace always sign-extend orig_ax to 64 bits
This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64. This matches what a
64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.
This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix". This didn't
matter until that was fixed.
The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly. It expects
that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
facilities.
This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension. Before
that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
the restart check anyway. So this was never noticed as a regression
of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.

It turned out that REQ_TYPE_ATA_PC write requests were not marked as such

sched: don't allow rt_runtime_us to be zero for groups having rt tasks
This patch checks if we can set the rt_runtime_us to 0. If there is a
realtime task in the group, we don't want to set the rt_runtime_us as 0
or bad things will happen. (that task wont get any CPU time despite
being TASK_RUNNNG)
it was only possible to configure the rt-group scheduling parameters
beyond the default value in a very small range.
that's because div64_64() has a different calling convention than
do_div() :/
fix a few untidies while we are here; sysctl_sched_rt_period may overflow
due to that multiplication, so cast to u64 first. Also that RUNTIME_INF
juggling makes little sense although its an effective NOP.

this is due to a place that can reschedule a task without holding
the tasks runqueue lock. This was caused by the RT balancing code
that pulls RT tasks to the current run queue and will reschedule the
current task.
There's a slight chance that the pulling of the RT tasks will release
the current runqueue's lock and retake it (in the double_lock_balance).
During this time that the runqueue is released, the current task can
migrate to another runqueue.
In the prio_changed_rt code, after the pull, if the current task is of
lesser priority than one of the RT tasks pulled, resched_task is called
on the current task. If the current task had migrated in that small
window, resched_task will be called without holding the runqueue lock
for the runqueue that the task is on.
This race condition also exists in the mainline kernel and this patch
adds a check to make sure the task hasn't migrated before calling
resched_task.

x86-boot: don't request VBE2 information
The new x86 setup code (4fd06960f120) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz
with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out
to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data.
Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info
structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the
information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K
BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).
(The full BIOS can be found at http://peter.korsgaard.com/vgabios.bin
if interested).
The old setup code didn't ask for VBE2 info, and the new code doesn't
actually do anything with the extra information, so the fix is to simply
not request it. Other BIOS'es might have the same problem.

we encode it this way because there's no space for the 'FPU Last

slab: NUMA slab allocator migration bugfix
NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix
The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill)
is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what
numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq
block that it inherited from its caller. As a result
those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the
process to another numa node occured while the irq block
had been dropped.
The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these
variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block.
The error is very difficult to hit. When it does occur,
one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in
check_spinlock_acquired:

SLUB should pack even small objects nicely into cachelines if that is what

The effect of this patch for a system with a cacheline size of 64
bytes is that the 24 byte sized slab caches will now put exactly
2 objects into a cacheline instead of 3 with some overlap into
the next cacheline. This reduces the object density in a 4k slab
from 170 to 128 objects (same as SLAB).
