Convert m32r to the generic sys_ptrace. The conversion requires an
architecture hook after ptrace_attach which this patch adds. The hook
will also be needed for a conersion of ia64 to the generic ptrace code.
Thanks to Hirokazu Takata for fixing a bug in the first version of this
code.

Introduced a consistent style in vmlinux.lds and it now matches the
soon-to-be common style for all arch's vmlinux.lds files.
In addition:
- Replaced hardcoded constant with PAGE_SIZE
- Fix page.h so PAGE_SIZE can be used from assembler and in lds files
- Move a few labels inside brackets so linker alignment will not
make label point ot a too low address
- Replaced DWARF and STABS sections with definitions from asm-generic

This patch converts alpha to the generic sys_ptrace. We use
force_successful_syscall_return to avoid having to pass the pt_regs pointer
down to the function. I think the removal of the assemly stub is correct,
but I could only compile-test this patch, so please give it a spin before
commiting :)

frv is the last user in the tree of that dubious hook, and it's my
understanding that it's not even needed. It's only called by memory.c
free_pgd_range() which is always called within an mmu_gather, and
tlb_flush() on frv will do a flush_tlb_mm(), which from my reading of the
code, seems to do what flush_tlb_ptables() does, which is to clear the
cached PGE.

Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have
no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2). Lee worked
on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted. Christoph has
created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail
if the node has no memory.
Currently, alloc_fresh_huge_page() returns NULL when it is not able to
allocate a huge page on the current node, as specified by its custom
interleave variable. The callers of this function, though, assume that a
failure in alloc_fresh_huge_page() indicates no hugepages can be allocated
on the system period. This might not be the case, for instance, if we have
an uneven NUMA system, and we happen to try to allocate a hugepage on a
node with less memory and fail, while there is still plenty of free memory
on the other nodes.
To correct this, make alloc_fresh_huge_page() search through all online
nodes before deciding no hugepages can be allocated. Add a helper function
for actually allocating the hugepage. Use a new global nid iterator to
control which nid to allocate on.
Note: we expect particular semantics for __GFP_THISNODE, which are now
enforced even for memoryless nodes. That is, there is should be no
fallback to other nodes. Therefore, we rely on the nid passed into
alloc_pages_node() to be the nid the page comes from. If this is
incorrect, accounting will break.
Tested on x86 !NUMA, x86 NUMA, x86_64 NUMA and ppc64 NUMA (with 2
memoryless nodes).

When shrinking the size of the hugetlb pool via the nr_hugepages sysctl, we
are careful to keep enough pages around to satisfy reservations. But the
calculation is flawed for the following scenario:
Action Pool Counters (Total, Free, Resv)
====== =============
Set pool to 1 page 1 1 0
Map 1 page MAP_PRIVATE 1 1 0
Touch the page to fault it in 1 0 0
Set pool to 3 pages 3 2 0
Map 2 pages MAP_SHARED 3 2 2
Set pool to 2 pages 2 1 2 <-- Mistake, should be 3 2 2
Touch the 2 shared pages 2 0 1 <-- Program crashes here
The last touch above will terminate the process due to lack of huge pages.
This patch corrects the calculation so that it factors in pages being used
for private mappings. Andrew, this is a standalone fix suitable for
mainline. It is also now corrected in my latest dynamic pool resizing
patchset which I will send out soon.

Support for reading from hugetlbfs files. libhugetlbfs lets application
text/data to be placed in large pages. When we do that, oprofile doesn't
work - since libbfd tries to read from it.
This code is very similar to what do_generic_mapping_read() does, but I
can't use it since it has PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumptions.

For historical reason, expanding ftruncate that increases file size on
hugetlbfs is not allowed due to pages were pre-faulted and lack of fault
handler. Now that we have demand faulting on hugetlb since 2.6.15, there
is no reason to hold back that limitation.
This will make hugetlbfs behave more like a normal fs. I'm writing a user
level code that uses hugetlbfs but will fall back to tmpfs if there are no
hugetlb page available in the system. Having hugetlbfs specific ftruncate
behavior is a bit quirky and I would like to remove that artificial
limitation.

The maximum size of the huge page pool can be controlled using the overall
size of the hugetlb filesystem (via its 'size' mount option). However in the
common case the this will not be set as the pool is traditionally fixed in
size at boot time. In order to maintain the expected semantics, we need to
prevent the pool expanding by default.
This patch introduces a new sysctl controlling dynamic pool resizing. When
this is enabled the pool will expand beyond its base size up to the size of
the hugetlb filesystem. It is disabled by default.

Shared mappings require special handling because the huge pages needed to
fully populate the VMA must be reserved at mmap time. If not enough pages are
available when making the reservation, allocate all of the shortfall at once
from the buddy allocator and add the pages directly to the hugetlb pool. If
they cannot be allocated, then fail the mapping. The page surplus is
accounted for in the same way as for private mappings; faulted surplus pages
will be freed at unmap time. Reserved, surplus pages that have not been used
must be freed separately when their reservation has been released.

Because we overcommit hugepages for MAP_PRIVATE mappings, it is possible that
the hugetlb pool will be exhausted or completely reserved when a hugepage is
needed to satisfy a page fault. Before killing the process in this situation,
try to allocate a hugepage directly from the buddy allocator.
The explicitly configured pool size becomes a low watermark. When dynamically
grown, the allocated huge pages are accounted as a surplus over the watermark.
As huge pages are freed on a node, surplus pages are released to the buddy
allocator so that the pool will shrink back to the watermark.
Surplus accounting also allows for friendlier explicit pool resizing. When
shrinking a pool that is fully in-use, increase the surplus so pages will be
returned to the buddy allocator as soon as they are freed. When growing a
pool that has a surplus, consume the surplus first and then allocate new
pages.
