Memory controller remove control_type feature

Based on the discussion at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/20/383, it was felt
that control_type might not be a good thing to implement right away.  We
can add this flexibility at a later point when required.

When using memory controller, there are 2 levels of memory reclaim.
 1. zone memory reclaim because of system/zone memory shortage.
 2. memory cgroup memory reclaim because of hitting limit.

These two can be distinguished by sc->mem_cgroup parameter.

This patch tries to make memory cgroup reclaim routine avoid affecting
system/zone memory reclaim. This patch inserts if (scan_global_lru()) and
hook to memory_cgroup reclaim support functions.

This patch can be a help for isolating system lru activity and group lru
activity and shows what additional functions are necessary.

 * mem_cgroup_calc_mapped_ratio() ... calculate mapped ratio for cgroup.

This patch adds per-zone status in memory cgroup.  These values are often read
(as per-zone value) by page reclaiming.

In current design, per-zone stat is just a unsigned long value and not an
atomic value because they are modified only under lru_lock.  (So, atomic_ops
is not necessary.)

This patch adds ACTIVE and INACTIVE per-zone status values.

For handling per-zone status, this patch adds
  struct mem_cgroup_per_zone {

  }
and some helper functions. This will be useful to add per-zone objects
in mem_cgroup.

This patch turns memory controller's early_init to be 0 for calling
kmalloc() in initialization.

memcgroup: fix hang with shmem/tmpfs

The memcgroup regime relies upon a cgroup reclaiming pages from itself within
add_to_page_cache: which may involve some waiting.  Whereas shmem and tmpfs
rely upon using add_to_page_cache while holding a spinlock: when it cannot
wait.  The consequence is that when a cgroup reaches its limit, shmem_getpage
just hangs - unless there is outside memory pressure too, neither kswapd nor
radix_tree_preload get it out of the retry loop.

In most cases we can mem_cgroup_cache_charge the page waitably first, to
attach the page_cgroup in advance, so add_to_page_cache will do no more than
increment a count; then mem_cgroup_uncharge_page after (in both success and
failure cases) to balance the books again.

And where there used to be a congestion_wait for kswapd (recently made
redundant by radix_tree_preload), use mem_cgroup_cache_charge with NULL page
to go through a cycle of allocation and freeing, without accounting to any
particular page, and without updating the statistics vector.  This brings the
cgroup below its limit so the next try usually succeeds.

memcgroup: revert swap_state mods

If we're charging rss and we're charging cache, it seems obvious that we
should be charging swapcache - as has been done.  But in practice that
doesn't work out so well: both swapin readahead and swapoff leave the
majority of pages charged to the wrong cgroup (the cgroup that happened to
read them in, rather than the cgroup to which they belong).

(Which is why unuse_pte's GFP_KERNEL while holding pte lock never showed up
as a problem: no allocation was ever done there, every page read being
already charged to the cgroup which initiated the swapoff.)

It all works rather better if we leave the charging to do_swap_page and
unuse_pte, and do nothing for swapcache itself: revert mm/swap_state.c to
what it was before the memory-controller patches.  This also speeds up
significantly a contained process working at its limit: because it no
longer needs to keep waiting for swap writeback to complete.

Is it unfair that swap pages become uncharged once they're unmapped, even
though they're still clearly private to particular cgroups?  For a short
while, yes; but PageReclaim arranges for those pages to go to the end of
the inactive list and be reclaimed soon if necessary.

shmem/tmpfs pages are a distinct case: their charging also benefits from
this change, but their second life on the lists as swapcache pages may
prove more unfair - that I need to check next.

memcgroup: fix zone isolation OOM

mem_cgroup_charge_common shows a tendency to OOM without good reason, when
a memhog goes well beyond its rss limit but with plenty of swap available.
Seen on x86 but not on PowerPC; seen when the next patch omits swapcache
from memcgroup, but we presume it can happen without.

mem_cgroup_isolate_pages is not quite satisfying reclaim's criteria for OOM
avoidance.  Already it has to scan beyond the nr_to_scan limit when it
finds a !LRU page or an active page when handling inactive or an inactive
page when handling active.  It needs to do exactly the same when it finds a
page from the wrong zone (the x86 tests had two zones, the PowerPC tests
had only one).

Don't increment scan and then decrement it in these cases, just move the
incrementation down.  Fix recent off-by-one when checking against
nr_to_scan.  Cut out "Check if the meta page went away from under us",
presumably left over from early debugging: no amount of such checks could
save us if this list really were being updated without locking.

This change does make the unlimited scan while holding two spinlocks
even worse - bad for latency and bad for containment; but that's a
separate issue which is better left to be fixed a little later.

Add the accounting hooks.  The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page
Cache (unmapped) pages.  There is now a common limit and accounting for both.
The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()
time.  Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(),
__delete_from_page_cache().  Swap cache is also accounted for.

Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the
page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving
simultaneous mappings of a page easier.  A reference count is kept in the
page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS
of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache.

Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work

So use pfn instead of address to avoid the overflow when more than

Many thanks to Pavel Emelyanov for reporting and testing it.

   commit 72fe4858544292ad64600765cb78bc02298c6b1c
   Author: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com>

       x86: replace privileged instructions with paravirt macros

The ENTRY(native_iret) macro adds alignment padding before the iretq
instruction, so "iret_label" no longer points exactly at the instruction.
It was sloppy to leave the old "iret_label" label behind when replacing
its nearby use.  Removing it would have revealed the other use of the
label later in the file, and upon noticing that use, anyone exercising
the minimum of attention to detail expected of anyone touching this
subtle code would realize it needed to change as well.
