Fix a post-2.6.31 regression which was introduced by
2ff05b2b4e ("oom: move oom_adj value from
task_struct to mm_struct").
After moving the oom_adj value from the task struct to the mm_struct, the
oom_adj value was no longer properly inherited by child processes.
Copying over the oom_adj value at fork time fixes that bug.

If a task is oom killed and still cannot find memory when trying with
no watermarks, it's better to fail the allocation attempt than to loop
endlessly. Direct reclaim has already failed and the oom killer will
be a no-op since current has yet to die, so there is no other
alternative for allocations that are not __GFP_NOFAIL.

Fix a post-2.6.24 performace regression caused by
3dfa5721f1 ("page-allocator: preserve PFN
ordering when __GFP_COLD is set").
Narayanan reports "The regression is around 15%. There is no disk controller
as our setup is based on Samsung OneNAND used as a memory mapped device on a
OMAP2430 based board."
The page allocator tries to preserve contiguous PFN ordering when returning
pages such that repeated callers to the allocator have a strong chance of
getting physically contiguous pages, particularly when external fragmentation
is low. However, of the bulk of the allocations have __GFP_COLD set as they
are due to aio_read() for example, then the PFNs are in reverse PFN order.
This can cause performance degration when used with IO controllers that could
have merged the requests.
This patch attempts to preserve the contiguous ordering of PFNs for users of
__GFP_COLD.

Objects passed to kmemleak_seq_next() have an incremented reference
count (hence not freed) but they may point via object_list.next to
other freed objects. To avoid this, the whole start/next/stop sequence
must be protected by rcu_read_lock().

We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as
Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?),
and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the
low_latency case.
So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed
to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or
the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to
be had.
This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer
(bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack
(commit 3a54297478: "pty: quickfix for the
pty ENXIO timing problems").

For x86 this affected highmem pages only, since they were always kmapped
cache-coherent, and this is fixed using kmap_atomic_prot().
For other architectures that may not modify the linear kernel map we
resort to vmap() for now, since kmap_atomic_prot() generally uses the
linear kernel map for lowmem pages. This of course comes with a
performance impact and should be optimized when possible.
