The formula to calculate "CommitLimit" value mentioned in kernel documentation is incorrect. Right formula is: CommitLimit = ([total RAM pages] - [total huge TLB pages]) * overcommit_ratio / 100 + [total swap pages] Signed-off-by: Petr Oros <poros@redhat.com> Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

pidns_get()->get_pid_ns() can hit ns == NULL. This task_struct can't go away, but task_active_pid_ns(task) is NULL if release_task(task) was already called.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "PPC and ARM do not have much going on this time. Most of the cool stuff, instead, is in s390 and (after a few releases) x86. ARM has some caching fixes and PPC has transactional memory support in guests. MIPS has some fixes, with more probably coming in 3.16 as QEMU will soon get support for MIPS KVM. For x86 there are optimizations for debug registers, which trigger on some Windows games, and other important fixes for Windows guests. We now expose to the guest Broadwell instruction set extensions and also Intel MPX. There's also a fix/workaround for OS X guests, nested virtualization features (preemption timer), and a couple kvmclock refinements.

All of them are fixes and cleanups. Specifics: - Remaining changes from upstream ACPICA release 20140214 that introduce code to automatically serialize the execution of methods creating any named objects which really cannot be executed in parallel with each other anyway (previously ACPICA attempted to address that by aborting methods upon conflict detection, but that wasn't reliable enough and led to other issues). From Bob Moore and Lv Zheng. - intel_pstate fix to use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() in the exit path before freeing the timer structure from Dirk Brandewie (original patch from Thomas Gleixner). - cpufreq fix related to system resume from Viresh Kumar. - Serialization of frequency transitions in cpufreq that involve PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifications to avoid ordering issues resulting from race conditions. From Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar. - Revert of an ACPI processor driver change that was based on a specific interpretation of the ACPI spec which may not be correct (the relevant part of the spec appears to be incomplete).

It adds support for the "fast sleep" feature of the processor which provides higher power savings than our usual "nap" mode but at the cost of losing the timers while asleep, and thus exploits the new timer broadcast framework to work around that limitation.

Pull main powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit more complicated than usual. This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge window. I will describe it a bit more further down. There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch. Since I didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately for a while now. I'll send a separate pull request for it. Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next. Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the removal patch. Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters (also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet). We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware (non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along with a hwmon driver for the latter. There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes, and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy loops. On the Freescale side, we see mostly new chip/board revisions, some clock updates, better support for machine checks and debug exceptions, etc..." * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (70 commits) powerpc/book3s: Fix CFAR clobbering issue in machine check handler. powerpc/compat: 32-bit little endian machine name is ppcle, not ppc powerpc/le: Big endian arguments for ppc_rtas() powerpc: Use default set of netfilter modules (CONFIG_NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n) powerpc/defconfigs: Enable THP in pseries defconfig powerpc/mm: Make sure a local_irq_disable prevent a parallel THP split powerpc: Rate-limit users spamming kernel log buffer powerpc/perf: Fix handling of L3 events with bank == 1 powerpc/perf/hv_{gpci, 24x7}: Add documentation of device attributes powerpc/perf: Add kconfig option for hypervisor provided counters powerpc/perf: Add support for the hv 24x7 interface powerpc/perf: Add support for the hv gpci (get performance counter info) interface powerpc/perf: Add macros for defining event fields & formats powerpc/perf: Add a shared interface to get gpci version and capabilities powerpc/perf: Add 24x7 interface headers powerpc/perf: Add hv_gpci interface header powerpc: Add hvcalls for 24x7 and gpci (Get Performance Counter Info) sysfs: create bin_attributes under the requested group powerpc/perf: Enable BHRB access for EBB events powerpc/perf: Add BHRB constraint and IFM MMCRA handling for EBB ...

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin: "This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups. This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come. This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty. Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release. This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this cycle. An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space this had the potential of information leaks" * 'x86-vdso-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) x86, vdso: Fix the symbol versions on the 32-bit vDSO x86, vdso, build: Don't rebuild 32-bit vdsos on every make x86, vdso: Actually discard the .discard sections x86, vdso: Fix size of get_unmapped_area() x86, vdso: Finish removing VDSO32_PRELINK x86, vdso: Move more vdso definitions into vdso.h x86: Load the 32-bit vdso in place, just like the 64-bit vdsos x86, vdso32: handle 32 bit vDSO larger one page x86, vdso32: Disable stack protector, adjust optimizations x86, vdso: Zero-pad the VVAR page x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 64 bit kernel x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 32 bit kernel x86, vdso: Patch alternatives in the 32-bit VDSO x86, vdso: Introduce VVAR marco for vdso32 x86, vdso: Cleanup __vdso_gettimeofday() x86, vdso: Replace VVAR(vsyscall_gtod_data) by gtod macro x86, vdso: __vdso_clock_gettime() cleanup x86, vdso: Revamp vclock_gettime.c mm: Add new func _install_special_mapping() to mmap.c x86, vdso: Make vsyscall_gtod_data handling x86 generic ...

We currently have three different "little environments" (boot, boot/compressed, and realmode/rm) in x86, and we are likely to soon get a fourth one (kexec/purgatory, which will have to be integrated in the kernel to support secure kexec). This is primarily a cleanup in the anticipation of the latter.

Commit 2223f6f6 "x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code" changed the irq_stack processing a little from what it was before. The irq_stack_end variable needed to be cleared after its first use. By setting irq_stack to the per cpu irq_stack and passing that to analyze_stack(), and then clearing it after it is processed, we can get back the original behavior.

Commit 2223f6f6 "x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code" moved the used variable to a local within the loop, but the in_exception_stack() depended on being non-volatile with the ability to change it. By always re-initializing the "used" variable to zero, it would cause the in_exception_stack() to return the same thing each time, and cause the dump_stack loop to go into an infinite loop.
