Fix up some unchecked copy_to_user()s

Patch from: Shmulik Hen <hshmulik@intel.com> The following patch fixes a division by zero bug in the bonding module that happens when transmitting through a bond with no slaves, in the XOR bonding mode.

Patch from Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org> Take CONFIG_SWAP out of the top-level menu into the general setup menu. Make it dependent on CONFIG_MMU and common to all architectures.

Patch from Xavier Bru <Xavier.Bru@bull.net> If copy_page_range encounters a pte which maps an invalid pageframe it will proceed to try to add an rmap entry against that page. This causes oopses when an application which has mapped an IO device via /dev/mem forks. Fix that up by correctly skipping the page_add_rmap() for these pte's.

Patch from Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> A patch that records the last kfree caller's program counter and prints that if a poison check fails.

Patch from Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz> Modifies check_poison function to not only verify that last byte is POISON_END, but also that all preceeding bytes are either POISON_BEFORE or POISON_AFTER bytes.

Patch from Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Hugh's patch fixes vm_area_struct slab corruption due to mremap's move_vma mistaking how do_munmap splits vmas in one case. Neither of us are very happy with it - it is fragile, and obscure. Hugh will revisit this later, but for now it should fix up the potential memory corruption.

Some workloads really, really want to have no readahead. Databases which are perfoming small synchronous I/Os against a file which has extremely poor layout. Any readahead at all is a lose here. But the current readahead code refuses to adapt that low. Fix it up so that we can indeed adaptively disable readahead altogether, and do not start it again until we have seen max_readahead()'s worth of consecutive reads.

Tasks which throttle in balance_dirty_pages() will loop until the amount of dirty memory falls below the configured dirty_ratio. This exposes the possibility that one task could be stuck in there for arbitrary periods of time due to page dirtying activity by other tasks. The patch changes the logic so that tasks will break out of the loop if they have written enough pages, regardless of the current dirty memory limits. Here "enough" pages is 1.5x the number of pages which they just dirtied. If the amount of dirty memory in the machine happens to still exceed dirty_ratio (say, due to MAP_SHARED activity) then the task will again throttle after dirtying a single page. But there is now an upper limit on the time for which a single task will be captured in balance_dirty_pages().

Patch from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl The following patch does the following: - static const char *blkdevs[MAX_BLKDEV]; disappears - get_blkdev_list, (un)register_blkdev, __bdevname are moved from block_dev.c to genhd.c - the third "fops" parameter of register_blkdev was unused; now removed everywhere - zillions of places had printk("cannot get major") upon error return from register_blkdev; removed all of these and inserted a single printk in register_blkdev. Of course the reason for the patch is that one fixed size array is eliminated.

I'm getting a lot of cacheline bounce from .text.lock.file_table due to false sharing of the cahceline. The following patch just aligns the lock in it's own cacheline.

People keep asking for this info, and Andrew asked me to put it under the Documentation directory ... provides really simple instructions for taking a profile so that users can report performance changes in a useful way.

From Andy Whitcroft A few very simple changes in order to make CONFIG_NUMA work everywhere, so the distros can build one common binary kernel for distributions.

This is a minor cleanup. We currently define and declare the BKL's kernel_flag spinlock on either SMP or PREEMPT, which means a UP+PREEMPT machine gets it. We only need the actual lock on SMP.
