Manually fix up conflicts due to kmemcheck in mm/slab.c
With KMS we have ran into an issue where we really want the KMS fb driver
to be the one running the console, so panics etc can be shown by switching
out of X etc.
However with vesafb/efifb built-in, we end up with those on fb0 and the
KMS fb driver on fb1, driving the same piece of hw, so this adds an fb
info flag to denote a firmware fbdev, and adds a new aperture base/size
range which can be compared when the hw drivers are installed to see if
there is a conflict with a firmware driver, and if there is the firmware
driver is unregistered and the hw driver takes over.
It uses new aperture_base/size members instead of comparing on the fix
smem_start/length, as smem_start/length might for example only cover the
first 1MB of the PCI aperture, and we could allocate the kms fb from 8MB
into the aperture, thus they would never overlap.

Now we have __initconst, we can finally move the external declarations for
the various Linux logo structures to <linux/linux_logo.h>.
James' ack dates back to the previous submission (way to long ago), when the
logos were still __initdata, which caused failures on some platforms with some
toolchain versions.

The LIS302DL accelerometer chip has a 'click' feature which can be used to
detect sudden motion on any of the three axis. Configuration data is
passed via spi platform_data and no action is taken if that's not
specified, so it won't harm any existing platform.
To make the configuration effective, the IRQ lines need to be set up
appropriately. This patch also adds a way to do that from board support
code.
The DD_* definitions were factored out to an own enum because they are
specific to LIS3LV02D devices.

Add support for the TI VLYNQ high-speed, serial and packetized bus.
This bus allows external devices to be connected to the System-on-Chip and
appear in the main system memory just like any memory mapped peripheral.
It is widely used in TI's networking and multimedia SoC, including the AR7
SoC.

put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately
can cause high latencies.
The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a
reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the
put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ.
The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt
code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is
an alias for preempt_enable(). The extra check of the preemmpt count is
not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule.
Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.
Impact: remove a high latency source

They're in linux/bug.h at present, which causes include order tangles. In
particular, linux/bug.h cannot be used by linux/atomic.h because,
according to Nikanth:
linux/bug.h pulls in linux/module.h => linux/spinlock.h => asm/spinlock.h
(which uses atomic_inc) => asm/atomic.h.
bug.h is a pretty low-level thing and module.h is a higher-level thing,
IMO.

After introduction of keyed wakeups Davide Libenzi did on epoll, we are
able to avoid spurious wakeups in poll()/select() code too.
For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming
network frames on many sockets. But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call
sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread.
When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep
again, because nothing is really available. If number of fds is large,
this cause significant load.
This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless
wakeups are avoided. This reduces number of context switches by about 50%
on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that
is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA
distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that
clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not
being met.
There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but it is
possible that the heuristic will fail and the CPU gets tied up scanning
uselessly. Detecting the situation requires some guesswork and
experimentation so this patch adds a counter "zreclaim_failed" to
/proc/vmstat. If during high CPU utilisation this counter is increasing
rapidly, then the resolution to the problem may be to set
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode to 0.

Collect vma->vm_flags of the VMAs that actually referenced the page.
This is preparing for more informed reclaim heuristics, eg. to protect
executable file pages more aggressively. For now only the VM_EXEC bit
will be used by the caller.

The per-task oom_adj value is a characteristic of its mm more than the
task itself since it's not possible to oom kill any thread that shares the
mm. If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be
freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have
needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory
freeing.
This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
struct task_struct to struct mm_struct. This requires task_lock() on a
task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already
necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM
size for the badness heuristic.
This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread
sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE. This occurs
because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the
chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same
task during the next retry.
Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in
oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be
removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be
necessary.
Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since
these threads are immune from oom killing already. They simply report an
oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.

This is a part of the patches for fixing memcg's swap accountinf leak.
But, IMHO, not a bad patch even if no memcg.
There are 2 kinds of references to swap.
- reference from swap entry
- reference from swap cache
Then,
- If there is swap cache && swap's refcnt is 1, there is only swap cache.
(*) swapcount(entry) == 1 && find_get_page(swapper_space, entry) != NULL
This counting logic have worked well for a long time. But considering
that we cannot know there is a _real_ reference or not by swap_map[],
current usage of counter is not very good.
This patch adds a flag SWAP_HAS_CACHE and recored information that a swap
entry has a cache or not. This will remove -1 magic used in swapfile.c
and be a help to avoid unnecessary find_get_page().
