Since per-BDI flusher threads were introduced in 2.6, the pdflush
mechanism is not used any more. But the old interface exported through
/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads still exists and is obviously useless.
For back-compatibility, printk warning information and return 2 to notify
the users that the interface is removed.

vm_stat_account() accounts the shared_vm, stack_vm and reserved_vm now.
But we can also account for total_vm in the vm_stat_account() which makes
the code tidy.
Even for mprotect_fixup(), we can get the right result in the end.

Convert init_sync_kiocb() from a nasty macro into a nice C function. The
struct assignment trick takes care of zeroing all unmentioned fields.
Shrinks fs/read_write.o's .text from 9857 bytes to 9714.
Also demacroize is_sync_kiocb() and aio_ring_avail(). The latter fixes an
arg-referenced-multiple-times hand grenade.

The msgsnd and msgrcv system calls use size_t to represent the size of the
message being transferred. POSIX states that values of msgsz greater than
SSIZE_MAX cause the result to be implementation-defined. On Linux, this
equates to returning -EINVAL if (long) msgsz < 0.
For compat tasks where !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC and compat_size_t
is smaller than size_t, negative size values passed from userspace will be
interpreted as positive values by do_msg{rcv,snd} and will fail to exit
early with -EINVAL.
This patch changes the compat prototypes for msg{rcv,snd} so that the
message size is represented as a compat_ssize_t, which we cast to the
native ssize_t type for the core IPC code.

Commit 48b25c43e6 ("ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC
syscalls") added a new ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option for
architectures to select if their compat target requires the old IPC
syscall interface.
For architectures (such as AArch64) that do not require the internal
calling conventions provided by this option, but have a compat target
where the C library passes the IPC_64 flag explicitly,
compat_ipc_parse_version no longer strips out the flag before calling
the native system call implementation, resulting in unknown SHM/IPC
commands and -EINVAL being returned to userspace.
This patch separates the selection of the internal calling conventions
for the IPC syscalls from the version parsing, allowing architectures to
select __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION if they want to use version
parsing whilst retaining the newer syscall calling conventions.

If the SHMLBA definition for a native task differs from the definition for
a compat task, the do_shmat() function would need to handle both.
This patch introduces COMPAT_SHMLBA, which is used by the compat shmat
syscall when calling the ipc code and allows architectures such as AArch64
(where the native SHMLBA is 64k but the compat (AArch32) definition is
16k) to provide the correct semantics for compat IPC system calls.

memweight() is the function that counts the total number of bits set in
memory area. Unlike bitmap_weight(), memweight() takes pointer and size
in bytes to specify a memory area which does not need to be aligned to
long-word boundary.

On the suspend/resume path the boot CPU does not go though an
offline->online transition. This breaks the NMI detector post-resume
since it depends on PMU state that is lost when the system gets
suspended.
Fix this by forcing a CPU offline->online transition for the lockup
detector on the boot CPU during resume.
To provide more context, we enable NMI watchdog on Chrome OS. We have
seen several reports of systems freezing up completely which indicated
that the NMI watchdog was not firing for some reason.
Debugging further, we found a simple way of repro'ing system freezes --
issuing the command 'tasket 1 sh -c "echo nmilockup > /proc/breakme"'
after the system has been suspended/resumed one or more times.
With this patch in place, the system freeze result in panics, as
expected.
These panics provide a nice stack trace for us to debug the actual issue
causing the freeze.
