Impact: reward non-stop TSCs with good TSC-based clocksources, etc.
Add support for CPUID_0x80000007_Bit8 on Intel CPUs as well. This bit means
that the TSC is invariant with C/P/T states and always runs at constant
frequency.
With Intel CPUs, we have 3 classes
* CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate and does not stop n C-states
* CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate, but will stop in deep C-states
* CPUs where TSC rate will vary based on P/T-states and TSC will stop in deep
C-states.
To cover these 3, one feature bit (CONSTANT_TSC) is not enough. So, add a
second bit (NONSTOP_TSC). CONSTANT_TSC indicates that the TSC runs at
constant frequency irrespective of P/T-states, and NONSTOP_TSC indicates
that TSC does not stop in deep C-states.
CPUID_0x8000000_Bit8 indicates both these feature bit can be set.
We still have CONSTANT_TSC _set_ and NONSTOP_TSC _not_set_ on some older Intel
CPUs, based on model checks. We can use TSC on such CPUs for time, as long as
those CPUs do not support/enter deep C-states.

pata_hpt366 is strange in that its two channels occupy two PCI

Commit d015fe995 'powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt'
has turned a rare failure to kexec on QS22 into a reproducible
error, which we have now analysed.
The problem is that after a kexec, the MSIC hardware still points
into the middle of the old ring buffer. We set up the ring buffer
during reboot, but not the offset into it. On older kernels, this
would cause a storm of thousands of spurious interrupts after a
kexec, which would most of the time get dropped silently.
With the new code, we time out on each interrupt, waiting for
it to become valid. If more interrupts come in that we time
out on, this goes on indefinitely, which eventually leads to
a hard crash.
The solution in this commit is to read the current offset from
the MSIC when reinitializing it. This now works correctly, as
expected.

careful_allocation() was calling into the bootmem allocator for
nodes which had not been fully initialized and caused a previous
bug: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/10528/ So, I merged a
few broken out loops in do_init_bootmem() to fix it. That changed
the code ordering.
I think this bug is triggered by having reserved areas for a node
which are spanned by another node's contents. In the
mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code, we attempt to reserve the
area for a node before we have allocated the NODE_DATA() for that
nid. We do this since I reordered that loop. I suck.
This is causing crashes at bootup on some systems, as reported
by Jon Tollefson.
This may only present on some systems that have 16GB pages
reserved. But, it can probably happen on any system that is
trying to reserve large swaths of memory that happen to span other
nodes' contents.
This commit ensures that we do not touch bootmem for any node which
has not been initialized, and also removes a compile warning about
an unused variable.

It looks like most of the hugetlb code is doing the correct thing if
hugepages are not supported, but the mmap code is not. If we get into
the mmap code when hugepages are not supported, such as in an LPAR
which is running Active Memory Sharing, we can oops the kernel. This
fixes the oops being seen in this path.

When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list,
but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which
point cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups is decremented).
Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being
empty in order to rebind subsystems into or out of a hierarchy - this can
result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being
removed-but-not-freed cgroup.
The simplest fix for this is to forbid remounts that change the set of
subsystems on a hierarchy that has removed-but-not-freed cgroups. This
bug can be reproduced via:
mkdir /mnt/cg
mount -t cgroup -o ns,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg
mkdir /mnt/cg/foo
sleep 1h < /mnt/cg/foo &
rmdir /mnt/cg/foo
mount -t cgroup -o remount,ns,devices,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg
kill $!
Though the above will cause oops in -mm only but not mainline, but the bug
can cause memory leak in mainline (and even oops)
