This came to light when calling memblock allocator from arc port (for
copying flattended DT). If a "0" alignment is passed, the allocator
round_up() call incorrectly rounds up the size to 0.
round_up(num, alignto) => ((num - 1) | (alignto -1)) + 1
While the obvious allocation failure causes kernel to panic, it is better
to warn the caller to fix the code.
Tejun suggested that instead of BUG_ON(!align) - which might be
ineffective due to pending console init and such, it is better to WARN_ON,
and continue the boot with a reasonable default align.
Caller passing @size need not be handled similarly as the subsequent
panic will indicate that anyhow.

There is an ifdef in page_cache_get_speculative() that checks for !SMP
and TREE_RCU, which has been an impossible combination since the advent
of TINY_RCU. The ifdef enables a fastpath that is valid when preemption
is disabled by rcu_read_lock() in UP systems, which is the case when
TINY_RCU is enabled. This commit therefore adjusts the ifdef to
generate the fastpath when TINY_RCU is enabled.

On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.
In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.
To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

Use the events API to trace filemap loading and unloading of file pieces
into the page cache.
This patch aims at tracing the eviction reload cycle of executable and
shared libraries pages in a memory constrained environment.
The typical usage is to spot a specific device and inode (for example
/lib/libc.so) to see the eviction cycles, and find out if frequently
used code is rather spread across many pages (bad) or coallesced (good).

Currently page_action() does not check dirty flag to determine whether
the error page is "clean mlocked/unevictable LRU" page. This doesn't
cause any misjudgement because we do matching against "dirty
mlocked/unevictable LRU" just before the check. But in order to make
code consistent and/or to avoid potential regression, we had better
check dirty flag explicitly.

The WARN_ON(1) in DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON is surprisingly awkward to track
down when it's hit, as it's usually buried in macros, causing multiple
instances to land on the same line number.
This patch makes it more useful by switching to:
WARN(1, "DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(%s)", #c);
so that the particular DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON is more easily identified and
grep'd for. For example:
WARNING: at kernel/mutex.c:198 _mutex_lock_nested+0x31c/0x380()
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(l->magic != l)

It can accidentally happen that the faulting insn (the exact instruction
bytes) is repeated a little further on in the trace. This causes that
same instruction to be tagged twice, see example below.
What we want to do, however, is to track back from the end of the whole
disassembly so many lines as the slice which starts with the faulting
instruction is long. This leads us to the actual faulting instruction
and *then* we tag it.
While we're at it, we can drop the sed "g" flag because we address only
this one line.
Also, if we point to an instruction which changes decoding depending on
the slice being objdumped, like a Jcc insn, for example, we do not even
tag it as a faulting instruction because the instruction decode changes
in the second slice but we use that second format as a regex on the
fsrst disassembled buffer and more often than not that instruction
doesn't match.
Again, simply tag the line which is deduced from the original "<>"
marking we've received from the kernel.
This also solves the pathologic issue of multiple tagging like this:
29:* 0f 0b ud2 <-- trapping instruction
2b:* 0f 0b ud2 <-- trapping instruction
2d:* 0f 0b ud2 <-- trapping instruction
Double tagging example:

There is a kernel memory leak observed when the proc file
/proc/fs/fscache/stats is read.
The reason is that in fscache_stats_open, single_open is called and the
respective release function is not called during release. Hence fix
with correct release function - single_release().

task_get_live_kthread() looks confusing and unneeded. It does
get_task_struct() but only kthread_stop() needs this, it can be called
even if the calller doesn't have a reference when we know that this
kthread can't exit until we do kthread_stop().
kthread_park() and kthread_unpark() do not need get_task_struct(), the
callers already have the reference. And it can not help if we can race
with the exiting kthread anyway, kthread_park() can hang forever in this
case.
Change kthread_park() and kthread_unpark() to use to_live_kthread(),
change kthread_stop() to do get_task_struct() by hand and remove

"k->vfork_done != NULL" with a barrier() after to_kthread(k) in
task_get_live_kthread(k) looks unclear, and sub-optimal because we load

All we need is to ensure that we do not return to_kthread(NULL). Add a

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
changes with this pull request.
1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
This feature has been requested by many people over the last few
years. I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves.
I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now
create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different
events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will
not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event.
Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
(ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
be written to the main buffer.
2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
an event to be traced when a function is hit.
3) A perf clock has been added.
A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will
make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis."

Delete create_proc_read_entry() as it no longer has any users.
Also delete read_proc_t, write_proc_t, the read_proc member of the
proc_dir_entry struct and the support functions that use them. This saves a
pointer for every PDE allocated.

Don't use create_proc_read_entry() as that is deprecated, but rather use
proc_create_data() and seq_file instead.

There's no need to keep this entry in proc, it is PM
related debug only entry. Let's move it into debugfs.
Based on an earlier patch David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
to use seq_printf and to update to use create_proc_read_entry().
