This adds an option to remove vm86 support under CONFIG_EMBEDDED. Saves
about 5k.
This version eliminates most of the #ifdefs of the previous version and
instead uses function stubs in vm86.h. Also, release_vm86_irqs is moved
from asm-i386/irq.h to a more appropriate home in vm86.h so that the stubs
can live together.

There's one scsi driver which doesn't compile due to weird __VA_ARGS__ tricks
and the rather useful scsi/sd.c is currently getting an ICE. None of the new
SAS code compiles, due to extensive use of anonymous unions. The V4L guys are
very good at exploiting the gcc-2.95.x macro expansion bug (_why_ does each
driver need to implement its own debug macros?) and various people keep on
sneaking in anonymous unions, which are rather nice.
Plus anonymous unions are rather useful.

Remove a couple of more lines of code from the cpuset hooks in the page
allocation code path.
There was a check for a NULL cpuset pointer in the routine
cpuset_update_task_memory_state() that was only needed during system boot,
after the memory subsystem was initialized, before the cpuset subsystem was
initialized, to catch a NULL task->cpuset pointer.
Add a cpuset_init_early() routine, just before the mem_init() call in
init/main.c, that sets up just enough of the init tasks cpuset structure to
render cpuset_update_task_memory_state() calls harmless.

md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).
These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers
are use to:
1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
are recorded
2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
personality.
Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.
The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.
With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.
This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new
ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel.
The following changes are made:
(1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
code.
(2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.
(3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

It was a stupid workaround for the "static inline" vs.
"extern inline" issues of long ago, and it is what causes
schedule() to be inlined like crazy into kernel/sched.c
when -Os is specified.
MIPS and S390 should probably do the same.
Now CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE can be safely used on sparc64
once more.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Also, disable on sparc64 - a number of people report breakage. Probably
a compiler bug, but it's quite possible that it tickles some latent
kernel problem too.
It still defaults to 'y' everywhere else (when enabled through
EXPERIMENTAL), and Dave Jones points out that Fedora (and RHEL4) has
been building with size optimizations for a long time on x86, x86-64,
ia64, s390, s390x, ppc32 and ppc64. So it is really only moderately
experimental, but the sparc64 breakage certainly shows that it can
trigger "issues".

Let's put my money where my mouth is. Smaller code is almost always
faster, if only because a single I$ miss ends up leaving a lot of cycles
to make up for. And system software - kernels in particular - are known
for taking more cache misses than most other kinds.
On my random config, this made the kernel about 10% smaller, and lmbench
seems to say that it's pretty uniformly faster too. Your milage may vary.

Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?
Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.
