Linux should ignore values outside logical min/max range, as they are not
meaningful. This is what at least some of other OSes do, and it also makes
sense (currently the value gets misinterpreted larger up the stack).

It causes a resume regression for Andi on his Acer Aspire 1830T post
3.1. The screen just stays black after wakeup.
Also, it really looks like the wrong way to suspend and resume perf
events: I think they should be done as part of the CPU suspend and
resume, rather than as a notifier that does smp_call_function().

While back-porting Johannes Weiner's patch "mm: memcg-aware global
reclaim" for an internal effort, we noticed a significant performance
regression during page-reclaim heavy workloads due to high contention of
the ss->id_lock. This lock protects idr map, and serializes calls to
idr_get_next() in css_get_next() (which is used during the memcg hierarchy
walk).
Since idr_get_next() is just doing a look up, we need only serialize it
with respect to idr_remove()/idr_get_new(). By making the ss->id_lock a
rwlock, contention is greatly reduced and performance improves.
Tested: cat a 256m file from a ramdisk in a 128m container 50 times on
each core (one file + container per core) in parallel on a NUMA machine.
Result is the time for the test to complete in 1 of the containers.
Both kernels included Johannes' memcg-aware global reclaim patches.

In testing aio on a fast storage device, I found that the context lock
takes up a fair amount of cpu time in the I/O submission path. The reason
is that we take it for every I/O submitted (see __aio_get_req). Since we
know how many I/Os are passed to io_submit, we can preallocate the kiocbs
in batches, reducing the number of times we take and release the lock.
In my testing, I was able to reduce the amount of time spent in
_raw_spin_lock_irq by .56% (average of 3 runs). The command I used to
test this was:
aio-stress -O -o 2 -o 3 -r 8 -d 128 -b 32 -i 32 -s 16384 <dev>
I also tested the patch with various numbers of events passed to
io_submit, and I ran the xfstests aio group of tests to ensure I didn't
break anything.

This client driver allows you to use a GPIO pin as a source for PPS
signals. Platform data [1] are used to specify the GPIO pin number,
label, assert event edge type, and whether clear events are captured.
This driver is based on the work by Ricardo Martins who submitted an
initial implementation [2] of a PPS IRQ client driver to the linuxpps
mailing-list on Dec 3 2010.

A default echo function has been provided so it is no longer an error when
you specify PPS_ECHOASSERT or PPS_ECHOCLEAR without an explicit echo
function. This allows some code re-use and also makes it easier to write
client drivers since the default echo function does not normally need to
change.
