From 2.4

From 2.4, this adds a CONFIG_ option to disable
the usage of -fomit-frame-pointer

from 2.4

emu10k1 is a dupe
add missing ite8172

Make things work if SMP kernel, and only 1 CPU.

From 2.4

Whoever did the copy_to_user changes a few months back used
a braindamaged editor which screwed the indentation..

47 is a dupe, 46 is a new one.

This stuff hasn't been used since 2.1.x days (due to it being
broken), and with no sign of anyone trying to fix it, we may as well
remove it.

Accesses PCI config space before enabling the device..

Various patches to make things conform to Documentation/CodingStyle

We moved offices..

This makes the sleep-under-spinlock-held check a CONFIG_ option.

Implements a new set of block address_space_operations which will never
attach buffer_heads to file pagecache.  These can be turned on for ext2
with the `nobh' mount option.

During write-intensive testing on a 7G machine, total buffer_head
storage remained below 0.3 megabytes.  And those buffer_heads are
against ZONE_NORMAL pagecache and will be reclaimed by ZONE_NORMAL
memory pressure.

This work is, of course, a special for the huge highmem machines.
Possibly it obsoletes the buffer_heads_over_limit stuff (which doesn't
work terribly well), but that code is simple, and will provide relief
for other filesystems.


It should be noted that the nobh_prepare_write() function and the
PageMappedToDisk() infrastructure is what is needed to solve the
problem of user data corruption when the filesystem which backs a
sparse MAP_SHARED mapping runs out of space.  We can use this code in
filemap_nopage() to ensure that all mapped pages have space allocated
on-disk.  Deliver SIGBUS on ENOSPC.

This will require a new address_space op, I expect.

This patch is a general solution to the situation where a zone is full
of pinned pages.

This can come about if:

a) Someone has allocated all of ZONE_DMA for IO buffers

b) Some application is mlocking some memory and a zone ends up full
   of mlocked pages (can happen on a 1G ia32 system)

c) All of ZONE_HIGHMEM is pinned in hugetlb pages (can happen on 1G
   machines)

We'll currently burn 10% of CPU in kswapd when this happens, although
it is quite hard to trigger.

The algorithm is:

- If page reclaim has scanned 2 * the total number of pages in the
  zone and there have been no pages freed in that zone then mark the
  zone as "all unreclaimable".

- When a zone is "all unreclaimable" page reclaim almost ignores it.
  We will perform a "light" scan at DEF_PRIORITY (typically 1/4096'th of
  the zone, or 64 pages) and then forget about the zone.

- When a batch of pages are freed into the zone, clear its "all
  unreclaimable" state and start full scanning again.  The assumption
  being that some state change has come about which will make reclaim
  successful again.

  So if a "light scan" actually frees some pages, the zone will revert to
  normal state immediately.

So we're effectively putting the zone into "low power" mode, and lightly
polling it to see if something has changed.

The code works OK, but is quite hard to test - I mainly tested it by
pinning all highmem in hugetlb pages.

Strengthen the `incremental min' logic in the page allocator.

Currently it is allowing the allocation to succeed if the zone has
free_pages >= pages_high.

This was to avoid a lockup corner case in which all the zones were at
pages_high so reclaim wasn't doing anything, but the incremental min
refused to take pages from those zones anyway.

But we want the incremental min zone protection to work.  So:

- Only allow the allocator to dip below the incremental min if he
  cannot run direct reclaim.

- Change the page reclaim code so that on the direct reclaim path,
  the caller can free pages beyond ->pages_high.  So if the incremental
  min test fails, the caller will go and free some more memory.

  Eventually, the caller will have freed enough memory for the
  incremental min test to pass against one of the zones.
