Commit 916f676f8d started reserving boot service code since some systems
require you to keep that code around until SetVirtualAddressMap is called.
However, in some cases those areas will overlap with reserved regions.
The proper medium-term fix is to fix the bootloader to prevent the
conflicts from occurring by moving the kernel to a better position,
but the kernel should check for this possibility, and only reserve regions
which can be reserved.

We should only wake waiters on the event device when we actually post
an EV_SYN/SYN_REPORT to the queue. Otherwise we end up making waiting

While parsing the perf table, there is no check if
the num of entries read from the vbios is less than
the currently allocated number.
In case of a buggy vbios this will cause overwriting
of kernel memory, causing aditional problems.
Add a simple check in order to prevent the case

Hugh Dickins points out that lockdep (correctly) spots a potential
deadlock on the anon_vma lock, because we now do a GFP_KERNEL allocation
of anon_vma_chain while doing anon_vma_clone(). The problem is that
page reclaim will want to take the anon_vma lock of any anonymous pages
that it will try to reclaim.
So re-organize the code in anon_vma_clone() slightly: first do just a
GFP_NOWAIT allocation, which will usually work fine. But if that fails,
let's just drop the lock and re-do the allocation, now with GFP_KERNEL.
End result: not only do we avoid the locking problem, this also ends up
getting better concurrency in case the allocation does need to block.
Tim Chen reports that with all these anon_vma locking tweaks, we're now
almost back up to the spinlock performance.

This matches the anon_vma_clone() case, and uses the same lock helper
functions. Because of the need to potentially release the anon_vma's,
it's a bit more complex, though.
We traverse the 'vma->anon_vma_chain' in two phases: the first loop gets
the anon_vma lock (with the helper function that only takes the lock
once for the whole loop), and removes any entries that don't need any
more processing.
The second phase just traverses the remaining list entries (without
holding the anon_vma lock), and does any actual freeing of the
anon_vma's that is required.

In anon_vma_clone() we traverse the vma->anon_vma_chain of the source
vma, locking the anon_vma for each entry.
But they are all going to have the same root entry, which means that
we're locking and unlocking the same lock over and over again. Which is
expensive in locked operations, but can get _really_ expensive when that
root entry sees any kind of lock contention.
In fact, Tim Chen reports a big performance regression due to this: when
we switched to use a mutex instead of a spinlock, the contention case
gets much worse.
So to alleviate this all, this commit creates a small helper function
(lock_anon_vma_root()) that can be used to take the lock just once
rather than taking and releasing it over and over again.
We still have the same "take the lock and release" it behavior in the
exit path (in unlink_anon_vmas()), but that one is a bit harder to fix
since we're actually freeing the anon_vma entries as we go, and that
will touch the lock too.
