It is not necessary to share the same notifier.h. This patch already moves register_reboot_notifier() and unregister_reboot_notifier() from kernel/notifier.c to kernel/sys.c.

We presently define all kinds of notifiers in notifier.h. This is not necessary at all, since different subsystems use different notifiers, they are almost non-related with each other. This can also save much build time. Suppose I add a new netdevice event, really I don't have to recompile all the source, just network related. Without this patch, all the source will be recompiled. I move the notify events near to their subsystem notifier registers, so that they can be found more easily. This patch: It is not necessary to share the same notifier.h.

As stated in drivers/mfd/cs5535-mfd.c, the mfd driver exposes the BARs which then make the GPIO, MFGPT, ACPI, etc. all visible to the system. So the dependencies of the MFGPT stuff have changed, and most people expect Kconfig to bring in the necessary dependencies. Without them, the module fails to load and most people don't understand why because the details of the rewrite aren't captured anywhere most people who know to look. This dependency needs to be reflected in Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Philip A. Prindeville <philipp@redfish-solutions.com> Acked-by: Alexandros C.

Resource definitions that just define start, end and flags = IORESOURCE_MEM or IORESOURCE_IRQ (with start=end) are quite common. So introduce a shortcut for them. For completeness add macros for IORESOURCE_DMA and IORESOURCE_IO, too and also make available a set of macros to specify named resources of all types which are less common.

Until now UML had no x86_64 vDSO. So glibc always used the vsyscall page for gettimeday() and friends. Calls to gettimeday() returned falsely the host time and confused some programs. This patch adds a vDSO which turns all __vdso_* calls into a system call so that UML can trap them. As glibc still uses the vsyscall page for static binaries this patch improves the situation only for dynamic binaries.

Commit 0954828f ("kconfig: replace KERNELVERSION usage by the mainmenu's prompt") made the kernel version disappear from the generated .config file when configuring for UML. As UML's Kconfig doesn't have a mainmenu, kconfig falls back to the default string "Linux Kernel Configuration". Add a suitable mainmenu to the main UML Kconfig file to fix this.

shmem_unuse_inode() and shmem_writepage() contain a little code to cope with pages inserted independently into the filecache, probably by a filesystem stacked on top of tmpfs, then fed to its ->readpage() or ->writepage(). Unionfs was indeed experimenting with working in that way three years ago, but I find no current examples: nowadays the stacking filesystems use vfs interfaces to the lower filesystem. It's now illegal: remove most of that code, adding some WARN_ON_ONCEs.

We can now simplify shmem_getpage_gfp(): there is no longer a dilemma of filepage passed in via shmem_readpage(), then swappage found, which must then be copied over to it. Although at first it's tempting to replace the **pagep arg by returning struct page *, that makes a mess of IS_ERR_OR_NULL(page)s in all the callers, so leave as is. Insert BUG_ON(!PageUptodate) when we find and lock page: some of the complication came from uninitialized pages inserted into filecache prior to readpage; but now we're in control, and only release pagelock on filecache once it's uptodate (if an error occurs in reading back from swap, the page remains in swapcache, never moved to filecache).

The prealloc_page handling in shmem_getpage_gfp() is unnecessarily complicated: first simplify that before going on to filepage/swappage. That's right, don't report ENOMEM when the preallocation fails: we may or may not need the page. But simply report ENOMEM once we find we do need it, instead of dropping lock, repeating allocation, unwinding on failure etc. And leave the out label on the fast path, don't goto. Fix something that looks like a bug but turns out not to be: set PageSwapBacked on prealloc_page before its mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), as the removed case was doing. That's important before adding to LRU (determines which LRU the page goes on), and does affect which path it takes through memcontrol.c, but in the end MEM_CGROUP_CHANGE_TYPE_ SHMEM is handled no differently from CACHE.

Remove that pernicious shmem_readpage() at last: the things we needed it for (splice, loop, sendfile, i915 GEM) are now fully taken care of by shmem_file_splice_read() and shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(). This removal clears the way for a simpler shmem_getpage_gfp(), since page is never passed in; but leave most of that cleanup until after. sys_readahead() and sys_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) will now EINVAL, instead of unexpectedly trying to read ahead on tmpfs: if that proves to be an issue for someone, then we can either arrange for them to return success instead, or try to implement async readahead on tmpfs.
