ipmi: add parameter to limit CPU usage in kipmid
In some cases kipmid can use a lot of CPU. This adds a way to tune the
CPU used by kipmid to help in those cases. By setting kipmid_max_busy_us
to a value between 100 and 500, it is possible to bring down kipmid CPU
load to practically 0 without loosing too much ipmi throughput
performance. Not setting the value, or setting the value to zero,
operation is unaffected.

ptrace: move user_enable_single_step & co prototypes to linux/ptrace.h
While in theory user_enable_single_step/user_disable_single_step/
user_enable_blockstep could also be provided as an inline or macro there's
no good reason to do so, and having the prototype in one places keeps code
size and confusion down.
Roland said:
The original thought there was that user_enable_single_step() et al
might well be only an instruction or three on a sane machine (as if we
have any of those!), and since there is only one call site inlining
would be beneficial. But I agree that there is no strong reason to care
about inlining it.
As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I'd add to the
record. It was always my thinking that for an arch where
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion,
user_enable_single_step() should not be provided. That is,
arch_has_single_step()=>true means that there is an arch facility with
"pure" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects.
Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in
multi-threaded situations. Aside from that, it is a peculiar side
effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW
de-sharing of text pages and so forth. For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these
peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having
arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing. But for building other
things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform "pure" semantics
that arch-independent code can expect.
OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer. As
of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et
al so it's a distinction without a practical difference. If/when there
are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care,
the affected arch's can revisit the question when someone cares about
the quality of the arch support for said new facility.

memcg: fix oom kill behavior
In current page-fault code,
handle_mm_fault()
-> ...
-> mem_cgroup_charge()
-> map page or handle error.
-> check return code.
If page fault's return code is VM_FAULT_OOM, page_fault_out_of_memory() is
called. But if it's caused by memcg, OOM should have been already
invoked.
Then, I added a patch:
a636b327f731143ccc544b966cfd8de6cb6d72c6. That
patch records last_oom_jiffies for memcg's sub-hierarchy and prevents
page_fault_out_of_memory from being invoked in near future.
But Nishimura-san reported that check by jiffies is not enough when the
system is terribly heavy.
This patch changes memcg's oom logic as.
* If memcg causes OOM-kill, continue to retry.
* remove jiffies check which is used now.
* add memcg-oom-lock which works like perzone oom lock.
* If current is killed(as a process), bypass charge.
Something more sophisticated can be added but this pactch does
fundamental things.
TODO:
- add oom notifier
- add permemcg disable-oom-kill flag and freezer at oom.
- more chances for wake up oom waiter (when changing memory limit etc..)

cgroups: fix race between userspace and kernelspace
Notify userspace about cgroup removing only after rmdir of cgroup
directory to avoid race between userspace and kernelspace.
eventfd are used to notify about two types of event:
- control file-specific, like crossing memory threshold;
- cgroup removing.
To understand what really happen, userspace can check if the cgroup still
exists. To avoid race beetween userspace and kernelspace we have to
notify userspace about cgroup removing only after rmdir of cgroup

memcg: handle panic_on_oom=always case
Presently, if panic_on_oom=2, the whole system panics even if the oom
happend in some special situation (as cpuset, mempolicy....). Then,
panic_on_oom=2 means painc_on_oom_always.
Now, memcg doesn't check panic_on_oom flag. This patch adds a check.
BTW, how it's useful ?
kdump+panic_on_oom=2 is the last tool to investigate what happens in
oom-ed system. When a task is killed, the sysytem recovers and there will
be few hint to know what happnes. In mission critical system, oom should
never happen. Then, panic_on_oom=2+kdump is useful to avoid next OOM by
knowing precise information via snapshot.
TODO:
- For memcg, it's for isolate system's memory usage, oom-notiifer and
freeze_at_oom (or rest_at_oom) should be implemented. Then, management
daemon can do similar jobs (as kdump) or taking snapshot per cgroup.

memcg: use generic percpu instead of private implementation
When per-cpu counter for memcg was implemneted, dynamic percpu allocator
was not very good. But now, we have good one and useful macros. This
patch replaces memcg's private percpu counter implementation with generic
dynamic percpu allocator.
The benefits are
- We can remove private implementation.
- The counters will be NUMA-aware. (Current one is not...)
- This patch makes sizeof struct mem_cgroup smaller. Then,
struct mem_cgroup may be fit in page size on small config.
- About basic performance aspects, see below.

To register a threshold application need:
- create an eventfd;
- open memory.usage_in_bytes or memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes;
- write string like "<event_fd> <memory.usage_in_bytes> <threshold>" to
cgroup.event_control.
Application will be notified through eventfd when memory usage crosses
threshold in any direction.
It's applicable for root and non-root cgroup.
It uses stats to track memory usage, simmilar to soft limits. It checks
if we need to send event to userspace on every 100 page in/out. I guess
it's good compromise between performance and accuracy of thresholds.

This patch:
Introduce the write-only file "cgroup.event_control" in every cgroup.
To register new notification handler you need:
- create an eventfd;
- open a control file to be monitored. Callbacks register_event() and
unregister_event() must be defined for the control file;
- write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;
eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the
cgroup is removed.
To unregister notification handler just close eventfd.
If you need notification functionality for a control file you have to
implement callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() in the
struct cftype.

This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration

To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record.
In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by:
- page lock: if the entry is on swap cache.
- swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache.
This works well in usual swap-in/out activity.
But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many
conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely.
So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record())

This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged
swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target
pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

cgroups: revamp subsys array
This patch series provides the ability for cgroup subsystems to be
compiled as modules both within and outside the kernel tree. This is
mainly useful for classifiers and subsystems that hook into components
that are already modules. cls_cgroup and blkio-cgroup serve as the
example use cases for this feature.
It provides an interface cgroup_load_subsys() and cgroup_unload_subsys()
which modular subsystems can use to register and depart during runtime.
The net_cls classifier subsystem serves as the example for a subsystem
which can be converted into a module using these changes.
Patch #1 sets up the subsys[] array so its contents can be dynamic as
modules appear and (eventually) disappear. Iterations over the array are
modified to handle when subsystems are absent, and the dynamic section of
the array is protected by cgroup_mutex.
Patch #2 implements an interface for modules to load subsystems, called
cgroup_load_subsys, similar to cgroup_init_subsys, and adds a module
pointer in struct cgroup_subsys.
Patch #3 adds a mechanism for unloading modular subsystems, which includes
a more advanced rework of the rudimentary reference counting introduced in
patch 2.
Patch #4 modifies the net_cls subsystem, which already had some module
declarations, to be configurable as a module, which also serves as a
simple proof-of-concept.
Part of implementing patches 2 and 4 involved updating css pointers in
each css_set when the module appears or leaves. In doing this, it was
discovered that css_sets always remain linked to the dummy cgroup,
regardless of whether or not any subsystems are actually bound to it
(i.e., not mounted on an actual hierarchy). The subsystem loading and
unloading code therefore should keep in mind the special cases where the
added subsystem is the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all
css_sets need to be linked back into it) and where the removed subsys was
the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all css_sets should be
unlinked from it) - however, as all css_sets always stay attached to the
dummy cgroup anyway, these cases are ignored. Any fix that addresses this
issue should also make sure these cases are addressed in the subsystem
loading and unloading code.
This patch:
Make subsys[] able to be dynamically populated to support modular
subsystems
This patch reworks the way the subsys[] array is used so that subsystems
can register themselves after boot time, and enables the internals of
cgroups to be able to handle when subsystems are not present or may
appear/disappear.

broadsheetfb: support storing waveform
This patch adds waveform storing capability to broadsheetfb. It uses the
firmware class to retrieve the waveform, and the request to initiate the
waveform storing is done via a driver sysfs entry, loadstore_waveform.
Broadsheet is a framebuffer device. It is slightly different from a
typical framebuffer controller that drives a normal TFT-LCD display. Most
E-Ink display panels require a waveform in order to function. That is, in
order to drive the state of a pixel to black, gray, or white, a specific
waveform is utilized. Basically, that waveform represents the specific
E-field wiggling needed to get the pixel to its optimal state given
current temperature, and its previous state. TN/IPS-LCDs use a similar
concept but the driving waveform is sufficiently simple that it is
internalized in the TFT source/gate driver.
These E-Ink waveforms are specific to a production batch. That is, a
batch of display films are produced, then they get characterized and a
waveform is generated for that batch. Broadsheet, typically, is attached
to its private SPI flash which is then flashed with this waveform.
Users won't be able to see the waveform and typically won't ever need to
know about it. If however, the display panel attached to broadsheet is
changed out, then they will need to update their waveform. That would
typically be done at a factory or repair facility rather than by a user.

Therefore the first call to this for the first framebuffer was delayed a
bit. It only enables the new formats if they are requested exactly
(viafb_bpp=15|30).
As this is a new feature, no regressions are expected. The color depth 15
was successfully tested. Didn't get anything usable for 30 but that might
be the programs fault. I would like to get some feedback whether it works
as expected or not if somebody knows a program/configuration where it
should.

viafb: rework color setting
This is a rewritten version of viafb_setcolreg. The hardware register
writes were split up and moved to hw.c where they belong as this is really
low level stuff. It was made dual fb aware.
Furthermore viafb_setcmap was removed as the problem with 8bpp originated
from a bug in writing multiple color registers at once. The removal of
viafb_setcmap might introduce a small performance regression but its
certainly better to receive the correct result a bit slower than a garbled
picture fast. It should give us a working 8bpp mode and is more
extensible than the old hardcoded code. No other regressions are expected
but as the hardware might be a bit picky it might cause some regressions
in 8bpp mode on some hardware although I doubt that.

viafb: make viafb_set_par more dual framebuffer compatible
This patch is an attempt to make viafb_set_par work correctly with more
than one framebuffer. As modesetting is not (yet/easily) possible for
each individual IGA it uses the (normally to be avoided) global variables
viafbinfo{,1} to ensure that each function is called with the correct
values.
This patch (finally) allows usable dual framebuffer setups and should not
affect non dual fb ones. It works in some (most?) configurations as
sometimes the driver still gets device connections wrong. It can be worth
to try the devices in reverse order (in viafb_active_dev).
The user experience is still not very nice as:
- on the second fb you'll normally have a garbled picture as long as
no application draws to it
goal: auto on/off devices depending on reference counting
- as the whole machinery is always done you can see mode changes also
in an unaffected framebuffer
goal: split modesetting up for each individual IGA

This is the first step to remove an artificial global index that was used
in two ways:
1. As a pseudo index in the mode table. Pseudo as you had to search
through the table to find the referenced entry. This was replaced by
using a pointer to the entry.
2. As a shortcut to compare a combination of horizontal and vertical
resolution at the same time.
This was replaced by a "(hres<<16) | vres" which is good enough for
now and the near future. If vres or hres become greater than 2^16 this
might indeed cause problems but this solution allows to split this
indexing mess up without the requirement to do even more code changes.
This is a big change that will allow more clean ups. It should be a bit
faster but that is probably not relevant for normal operation. No
regressions expected but as this is a relatively big step heavy testing is
appreciated.

There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.
Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
