pipe_write contains a wakeup storm, 2 writers that write into the same
fifo can wake each other up, and spend 100% cpu time with
wakeup/schedule, without making any progress.

The only regression I'm aware of is that

  $ dd if=/dev/zero | grep not_there

will fail due to OOM, because grep does something like

	for(;;) {
		rlen = read(fd, buf, len);
		if (rlen == len) {
			len *= 2;
			buf = realloc(buf, len);
		}
	}

if it operates on pipes, and due to the improved syscall merging, read
will always return the maximum possible amount of data. But that's a grep
bug, not a kernel problem.

patch from DaveM

This does a number of timer subsystem enhancements:

- simplified timer initialization, now it's the cheapest possible thing:

    static inline void init_timer(struct timer_list * timer)
    {
            timer->base = NULL;
    }

  since the timer functions already did a !timer->base check this did not
  have any effect on their fastpath.

- the rule from now on is that timer->base is set upon activation of the
  timer, and cleared upon deactivation. This also made it possible to:

- reorganize all the timer handling code to not assume anything about
  timer->entry.next and timer->entry.prev - this also removed lots of
  unnecessery cleaning of these fields. Removed lots of unnecessary list
  operations from the fastpath.

- simplified del_timer_sync(): it now uses del_timer() plus some simple
  synchronization code. Note that this also fixes a bug: if mod_timer (or
  add_timer) moves a currently executing timer to another CPU's timer
  vector, then del_timer_sync() does not synchronize with the handler
  properly.

- bugfix: moved run_local_timers() from scheduler_tick() into
  update_process_times() .. scheduler_tick() might be called from the fork
  code which will not quite have the intended effect ...

- removed the APIC-timer-IRQ shifting done on SMP, Dipankar Sarma's
  testing shows no negative effects.

- cleaned up include/linux/timer.h:

     - removed the timer_t typedef, and fixes up kernel/workqueue.c to use
       the 'struct timer_list' name instead.

     - removed unnecessery includes

     - renamed the 'list' field to 'entry' (it's an entry not a list head)

     - exchanged the 'function' and 'data' fields. This, besides being
       more logical, also unearthed the last few remaining places that
       initialized timers by assuming some given field ordering, the patch
       also fixes these places. (fs/xfs/pagebuf/page_buf.c,
       net/core/profile.c and net/ipv4/inetpeer.c)

     - removed the defunct sync_timers(), timer_enter() and timer_exit()
       prototypes.

     - added docbook-style comments.

- other kernel/timer.c changes:

     - base->running_timer does not have to be volatile ...

     - added consistent comments to all the important functions.

     - made the sync-waiting in del_timer_sync preempt- and lowpower-
       friendly.

i've compiled, booted & tested the patched kernel on x86 UP and SMP. I
have tried moderately high networking load as well, to make sure the timer
changes are correct - they appear to be.

This fixes all known signal semantics problems.

sigwait() is really evil - i had to re-introduce ->real_blocked. When a
signal has no handler defined then the actual action taken by the kernel
depends on whether the sigwait()-ing thread was blocking the signal
originally or not. If the signal was blocked => specific delivery to the
thread, if the signal was not blocked => kill-all.

fortunately this meant that PF_SIGWAIT could be killed - the real_blocked
field contains all the necessery information to do the right decision at
signal-sending time.

i've also cleaned up and made the shared-pending code more robust: now
there's a single central dequeue_signal() function that handles all the
details. Plus upon unqueueing a shared-pending signal we now re-queue the
signal to the current thread, which this time around is not going to end
up in the shared-pending queue. This change handles the following case
correctly: a signal was blocked in every signal, then one thread unblocks
it and gets the signal delivered - but there's no handler for the signal
=> the correct action is to do a kill-all.

i removed the unused shared_unblocked field as well, reported by Oleg
Nesterov.

now we pass both signal-tst1 and signal-tst2, so i'm confident that we got
most of the details right.

This does a number of futex bugfixes, performance improvements and
cleanups.

The bugfixes are:

 - fix locking bug noticed by Martin Wirth: the ordering of
   page_table_lock, vcache_lock and futex_lock was inconsistent and
   created the possibility of an SMP deadlock.

 - fix spurious wakeup noticed by Andrew Morton: the get_user() in
   futex_wait() can set the task state to TASK_RUNNING.

 - fix futex_wake COW race, noticed by Martin Wirth - futex_wake() has to
   go through the same lookup rules as the futex_wait() code, otherwise it
   might end up trying to wake up based on the wrong physical page.

Improvements:

 - speed up the basic addrs => page lookup done by the futex code. It used
   to do an unconditional get_user_pages() call, which did a vma lookup
   and other heavy-handed tactics - while the common case is that the
   page is mapped and available. Furthermore, due to the COW-race code we
   had to re-check the mapping anyway, which made the get_user_pages()
   thing pretty unnecessery. This inefficiency was noticed by Martin
   Wirth.

   the new lookup code first does a lightweight follow_page(), then if no
   page is present we do the get_user_pages() thing.

 - locking cleanups - the new lookup code made some things simpler, eg.
   the hash calculation can now be done in queue_me().

 - added comments

 - reduced include file use.

 - increased the futex hashtable.

This modifies x86's dump_stack() to print out just the backtrace, not
the stack contents.  The patch also adds one more whitespace after the
numeric EIP value.  The old dump looked this way:

  bad: scheduling while atomic!
  Stack: ffffffff c041c72f 0000006a 00000068 000000f0 c13e1f28 c04c49c0 c13e1f28

         ffffffff 34000286 00000282 00000000 00000000 c13e1f28 c04c49c0 c04c4468
  Call Trace:
   [<c011f009>]sys_gettimeofday+0x89/0x90
   [<c0113e40>]do_page_fault+0x0/0x49e
   [<c0107d63>]syscall_call+0x7/0xb

the new output is:

  bad: scheduling while atomic!
  Call Trace:
   [<c011f009>] sys_gettimeofday+0x89/0x90
   [<c0113e40>] do_page_fault+0x0/0x49e
   [<c0107d63>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb

much nicer and much more compact.

- alpha/kernel/signal.c: sigmask_lock to sig->siglock transition;
- alpha/lib/Makefile: fix EV6 targets (restore EXTRA_AFLAGS accidentally
  killed by previous patch).

Ported across from a nearly identical fix to the glibc tree.  Under
some conditions we'd read one too many source words and segfault.

Some pci devices may have base address registers locked with non-zero values.
Examples:
- AGP aperture BAR of AMD-7xx host bridges: if the AGP window disabled,
  this BAR is read-only and read as 0x00000008;
- BAR0-4 of ALi IDE controllers can be non-zero and read-only.

Obviously, we can't calculate correct size of the respective region in
this case (for AMD AGP window we'll get 4 GB resource - ouch).
So I think that we should ignore r/o BARs (let the device specific
fixups deal with them if needed).

Patch appended (note that extra write(0)/read-back pair is required,
as the BAR might be programmed with all 1s).

Regularize the erratic whitespace conventions in mm/shmem.c.  Removal
of blank line changes BUG_ON line numbers, otherwise builds the same.

If PAGE_CACHE_SIZE were to differ from PAGE_SIZE, the VM_ACCT macro,
and shmem_nopage's vm_pgoff manipulation, were still not quite right.

Slip a cond_resched_lock into shmem_truncate's long loop; but not into
shmem_unuse_inode's, since other locks held, and swapoff awful anyway.

Move SetPageUptodate to where it's not already set.  Replace
copy_from_user by __copy_from_user since access already verified.

Replace BUG()s by BUG_ON()s.  Remove an uninteresting PAGE_BUG().

If we're going to rely on struct page *s rather than virtual addresses
for the metadata pages, let's count nr_swapped in the private field:
these pages are only for storing swp_entry_ts, and need not be examined
at all when nr_swapped is zero.

wli suffered OOMs because tmpfs was allocating GFP_USER, for its
metadata pages.  This patch allocates them GFP_HIGHUSER (default
mapping->gfp_mask) and uses atomic kmaps to access (KM_USER0 for upper
levels, KM_USER1 for lowest level).  shmem_unuse_inode and
shmem_truncate rewritten alike to avoid repeated maps and unmaps of the
same page: cr's truncate was much more elegant, but I couldn't quite
see how to convert it.

I do wonder whether this patch is a bloat too far for tmpfs, and even
non-highmem configs will be penalised by page_address overhead (perhaps
a further patch could get over that).  There is an attractive
alternative (keep swp_entry_ts in the existing radix-tree, no metadata
pages at all), but we haven't worked out an unhacky interface to that.
For now at least, let's give tmpfs highmem metadata a spin.

akpm and wli each discovered unfortunate behaviour of dbench on tmpfs:
after tmpfs has reached its data memory limit, dbench continues to
lseek and write, and tmpfs carries on allocating unlimited metadata
blocks to accommodate the data it then refuses.  That particular
behaviour could be simply fixed by checking earlier; but I think tmpfs
metablocks should be subject to the memory limit, and included in df
and du accounting.  Also, manipulate inode->i_blocks under lock, was
missed before.

The distinction between shmem_getpage and shmem_getpage_locked is not
helpful, particularly now info->sem is gone; and shmem_getpage
confusingly tailored to shmem_nopage's expectations.  Put the code of
shmem_getpage_locked into the frame of shmem_getpage, leaving its
callers to unlock_page afterwards.

Between inode->i_sem and info->lock comes info->sem; but it doesn't
guard thoroughly against the difficult races (truncate during read),
and serializes reads from tmpfs unlike other filesystems.  I'd prefer
to work with just i_sem and info->lock, backtracking when necessary
(when another task allocates block or metablock at the same time).

(I am not satisfied with the locked setting of next_index at the start
of shmem_getpage_locked: it's one lock hold too many, and it doesn't
really fix races against truncate better than before: another patch in
a later batch will resolve that.)

The earlier partial truncation fix in shmem_truncate admits it is racy,
and I've now seen that (though perhaps more likely when
mpage_writepages was writing pages it shouldn't).  A cleaner fix is,
not to repeat the memclear in shmem_truncate, but to hold the partial
page in memory throughout truncation, by shmem_holdpage from
shmem_notify_change.

Give tmpfs its own shmem_vm_writeback (and empty shmem_writepages):
going through the default mpage_writepages is very wrong for tmpfs,
since that may write nearby pages while still mapped into mms, but
"writing" converts pages from tmpfs file identity to swap backing
identity: doing so while mapped breaks assumptions throughout e.g.  the
shared file is liable to disintegrate into private instances.

tmpfs contributes to the AltSysRqM swapcache add and delete statistics,
but not to its find statistics: use lookup_swap_cache wrapper to
find_get_page, to contribute to those statistics too.  Elsewhere, use
existing info pointer and NAME_MAX definition.  (I'll be sending 2.4
version to Marcelo shortly.)

Apparently some applications are confused by tmpfs's practice of
returning zero for the size of diretories.  In 2.4.20-pre6 Peter Anvin
submitted a change to make tmpfs directories always have a size of "1".

In the same spirit, this patch arranges for tmpfs directories to show
up as having 20 * number_of_entries, including "." and "..".

Apparently counting up the size of all the entries isn't worth the
hassle.

shmem_rename still didn't get parent directory link count quite right,
in the case where you rename a directory in place of an empty directory
(with rename syscall: doesn't happen like that with mv command); and it
forgot to update new directory's ctime and mtime.  (I'll be sending 2.4
version to Marcelo shortly.)

I've had this patch hanging around for a couple of months (you liked an
earlier version, but I never found time to resubmit it), remove some
unnecessary PageDirty and PageUptodate manipulations.

add_to_page_cache can only receive a dirty page in the add_to_swap
case, so deal with it there.  add_to_swap is better off using
add_to_page_cache directly than add_to_swap_cache.  Keep move_to_ and
_from_swap_cache simple, and don't fiddle with flags without reason.
It's a little less efficient to correct clean->dirty list as an
afterthought, but cuts unusual code from slow path.

tmpfs 1/5 swapoff deadlock: my igrab/iput around the yield in
shmem_unuse_inode was rubbish, seems my testing never really hit the
case until last week, when truncation of course deadlocked on the page
held locked across the iput (at least I had the foresight to say "ugh!"
there).  Don't yield here, switch over to the simple backoff I'd been
using for months in the loopable tmpfs patch (yes, it could loop
indefinitely for memory, that's already an issue to be dealt with
later).  The return convention from shmem_unuse to try_to_unuse is
inelegant (commented at both ends), but effective.

From Badari Pavlati.

Use bio_add_page() in direct-io.c.

Patch from Rik adds "I/O wait" statistics to /proc/stat.

This allows us to determine how much system time is being spent
awaiting IO completion.  This is an important statistic, as it tends to
directly subtract from job completion time.

procps-2.0.9 is OK with this, but doesn't report it.

Tells us how many pages were reclaimed by kswapd.

The `pgsteal' statistic tells us how many pages were reclaimed
altogether.  So

	kswapd_steal - pgsteal

is the number of pages which were directly reclaimed by page allocating
processes.


Also, the `pgscan' data is currently counting the number of pages
scanned in shrink_cache() plus the number of pages scanned in
refill_inactive_zone().  These are rather separate concepts, so I
created the new `pgrefill' counter for refill_inactive_zone().
`pgscan' is now just the number of pages scanned in shrink_cache().

Moves the VM accounting out of /proc/stat and into /proc/vmstat.

The VM accounting is now per-cpu.

It also moves kstat.pgpgin and kstat.pgpgout into /proc/vmstat.
Which is a bit of a duplication of /proc/diskstats (SARD), but it's
easy, super-cheap and makes life a lot easier for all the system
monitoring applications which we just broke.

We now require procps 2.0.9.

Updated versions of top and vmstat are available at http://surriel.com
and the Cygnus CVS is uptodate for these changes.  (Rik has the CVS
info at the above site).

This tidies up kernel_stat quite a lot - it now only contains CPU
things (interrupts and CPU loads) and disk things.  So we now have:

/proc/stat:	CPU things and disk things
/proc/vmstat:	VM things	(plus pgpgin, pgpgout)

The SARD patch removes the disk things from /proc/stat as well.

Rewrite these functions to use gang lookup.

- This probably has similar performance to the old code in the common case.

- It will be vastly quicker than current code for the worst case
  (single-page truncate).

- invalidate_inode_pages() has been changed.  It used to use
  page_count(page) as the "is it mapped into pagetables" heuristic.  It
  now uses the (page->pte.direct != 0) heuristic.

- Removes the worst cause of scheduling latency in the kernel.

- It's a big code cleanup.

- invalidate_inode_pages() has been changed to take an address_space
  *, not an inode *.

- the maximum hold times for mapping->page_lock are enormously reduced,
  making it quite feasible to turn this into an irq-safe lock.  Which, it
  seems, is a requirement for sane AIO<->direct-io integration, as well
  as possibly other AIO things.

(Thanks Hugh for fixing a bug in this one as well).

(Christoph added some stuff too)

Adds a gang lookup facility to radix trees.  It provides an efficient
means of locating a bunch of pages starting at a particular offset.

The implementation is a bit dumb, but is efficient enough.  And it is
amenable to the `tagged lookup' extension which is proving tricky to
write, but which will allow the dirty pages within a mapping to be
located in pgoff_t order.

Thanks are due to Huch Dickins for finding and fixing an unpleasant bug
in here.

Pages with no reverse mapping can be present in page tables as a result
of a driver performing remap_page_range().  Don't go BUG over them.

Patch from Hugh Dickins

Our earlier fix for mprotect_fixup was broken - passing an
already-freed VMA to change_protection().

sys_ioperm() is calling kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) inside get_cpu().  That's
wrong, because the memory allocation could schedule away and return on
a different CPU.

So change it to perform the memory allocation outside the atomic region.

- hugetlb Documentation update

- Add /proc/buddyinfo documentation

- nano-cleanup in __remove_from_page_cache.
