      x86, build: replace Perl script with Shell script · d69911a6
      Kees Cook authored
      Commit e6023367 ("x86, kaslr: Prevent .bss from overlaping initrd")
      added Perl to the required build environment.  This reimplements in
      shell the Perl script used to find the size of the kernel with bss and
      brk added.

      mm: page_alloc: embed OOM killing naturally into allocation slowpath · 9879de73
      Johannes Weiner authored
      The OOM killing invocation does a lot of duplicative checks against the
      task's allocation context.  Rework it to take advantage of the existing
      checks in the allocator slowpath.
      
      The OOM killer is invoked when the allocator is unable to reclaim any
      pages but the allocation has to keep looping.  Instead of having a check
      for __GFP_NORETRY hidden in oom_gfp_allowed(), just move the OOM
      invocation to the true branch of should_alloc_retry().  The __GFP_FS
      check from oom_gfp_allowed() can then be moved into the OOM avoidance
      branch in __alloc_pages_may_oom(), along with the PF_DUMPCORE test.
      
      __alloc_pages_may_oom() can then signal to the caller whether the OOM
      killer was invoked, instead of requiring it to duplicate the order and
      high_zoneidx checks to guess this when deciding whether to continue.

           active; this could occur due to each table having it's own bufio
           client rather than sharing the client between tables.
      
         - fix dm-cache target to properly account for discard IO while
           suspending otherwise IO quiescing could complete prematurely.
      
         - fix DM core's handling of multiple internal suspends by maintaining
           an 'internal_suspend_count' and only resuming the device when this
           count drops to zero"
