VT notifier fix for VT switch
VT notifier callbacks need to be aware of console switches. This is already
partially done from console_callback(), but at that time fg_console, cursor
positions, etc. are not yet updated and hence screen readers fetch the old
values.
This adds an update notify after all of the values are updated in
redraw_screen(vc, 1).

alloc_percpu() fails to allocate percpu data
Some oprofile results obtained while using tbench on a 2x2 cpu machine were
very surprising.
For example, loopback_xmit() function was using high number of cpu cycles
to perform the statistic updates, supposed to be real cheap since they use
percpu data
struct pcpu_lstats is a small structure containing two longs. It appears
that on my 32bits platform, alloc_percpu(8) allocates a single cache line,
instead of giving to each cpu a separate cache line.
Using the following patch gave me impressive boost in various benchmarks
( 6 % in tbench)
(all percpu_counters hit this bug too)
Long term fix (ie >= 2.6.26) would be to let each CPU allocate their own
block of memory, so that we dont need to roudup sizes to L1_CACHE_BYTES, or
merging the SGI stuff of course...
Note : SLUB vs SLAB is important here to *show* the improvement, since they
dont have the same minimum allocation sizes (8 bytes vs 32 bytes). This
could very well explain regressions some guys reported when they switched
to SLUB.

freezer vs stopped or traced
This changes the "freezer" code used by suspend/hibernate in its treatment
of tasks in TASK_STOPPED (job control stop) and TASK_TRACED (ptrace) states.
As I understand it, the intent of the "freezer" is to hold all tasks
from doing anything significant. For this purpose, TASK_STOPPED and
TASK_TRACED are "frozen enough". It's possible the tasks might resume
from ptrace calls (if the tracer were unfrozen) or from signals
(including ones that could come via timer interrupts, etc). But this
doesn't matter as long as they quickly block again while "freezing" is
in effect. Some minor adjustments to the signal.c code make sure that
try_to_freeze() very shortly follows all wakeups from both kinds of
stop. This lets the freezer code safely leave stopped tasks unmolested.
Changing this fixes the longstanding bug of seeing after resuming from
suspend/hibernate your shell report "[1] Stopped" and the like for all
your jobs stopped by ^Z et al, as if you had freshly fg'd and ^Z'd them.
It also removes from the freezer the arcane special case treatment for
ptrace'd tasks, which relied on intimate knowledge of ptrace internals.

KVM: VMX: Avoid rearranging switched guest msrs while they are loaded
KVM tries to run as much as possible with the guest msrs loaded instead of
host msrs, since switching msrs is very expensive. It also tries to minimize
the number of msrs switched according to the guest mode; for example,
MSR_LSTAR is needed only by long mode guests. This optimization is done by
setup_msrs().
However, we must not change which msrs are switched while we are running with
guest msr state:
- switch to guest msr state
- call setup_msrs(), removing some msrs from the list
- switch to host msr state, leaving a few guest msrs loaded
An easy way to trigger this is to kexec an x86_64 linux guest. Early during
setup, the guest will switch EFER to not include SCE. KVM will stop saving
MSR_LSTAR, and on the next msr switch it will leave the guest LSTAR loaded.
The next host syscall will end up in a random location in the kernel.
Fix by reloading the host msrs before changing the msr list.

KVM: MMU: Fix race when instantiating a shadow pte
For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other
vcpus. This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have
write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be
modified.
The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not
new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have
modified the pte without the shadow lock. However the assumption is incorrect,
as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow
page, before our vcpu regains control:
vcpu0 vcpu1
fault
walk pte
modify pte
fault in same pagetable
instantiate shadow page
lookup shadow page
conclude it is old
instantiate spte based on stale guest pte
We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by
Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation
unconditionally. The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can
be quite fast.

block: restore the meaning of rq->data_len to the true data length
The meaning of rq->data_len was changed to the length of an allocated
buffer from the true data length. It breaks SG_IO friends and
bsg. This patch restores the meaning of rq->data_len to the true data
length and adds rq->extra_len to store an extended length (due to
drain buffer and padding).
This patch also removes the code to update bio in blk_rq_map_user
introduced by the commit 40b01b9bbdf51ae543a04744283bf2d56c4a6afa.
The commit adjusts bio according to memory alignment
(queue_dma_alignment). However, memory alignment is NOT padding
alignment. This adjustment also breaks SG_IO friends and bsg. Padding
alignment needs to be fixed in a proper way (by a separate patch).

splice: only return -EAGAIN if there's hope of more data
sys_tee() currently is a bit eager in returning -EAGAIN, it may do so
even if we don't have a chance of anymore data becoming available. So
improve the logic and only return -EAGAIN if we have an attached writer
to the input pipe.

[PATCH] fs/ocfs2/aops.c: Correct use of ! and &
In commit e6bafba5b4765a5a252f1b8d31cbf6d2459da337, a bug was fixed that
involved converting !x & y to !(x & y). The code below shows the same
pattern, and thus should perhaps be fixed in the same way.
This is not tested and clearly changes the semantics, so it is only
something to consider.

ocfs2: Fix writeout in ocfs2_data_convert_worker()
Commit f1f540688eae66c274ff1c1133b5d9c687b28f58 "optimized"
ocfs2_data_convert_worker() to "only do work for regular files".
Unfortunately, I left out a '!', which casued it to *skip* regular files.
This was hidden from testing until recently because the default data
journaling mode (data=ordered) doesn't exercise this code.

slab: avoid double initialization & do initialization in 1 place
p->exit_state != 0 doesn't mean this process is dead, it may have
sub-threads. Change the code to use "p->exit_state && thread_group_empty(p)"
instead.
Without this patch, ^Z doesn't deliver SIGTSTP to the foreground process
if the main thread has exited.
However, the new check is not perfect either. There is a window when
exit_notify() drops tasklist and before release_task(). Suppose that
the last (non-leader) thread exits. This means that entire group exits,
but thread_group_empty() is not true yet.
As Eric pointed out, is_global_init() is wrong as well, but I did not
dare to do other changes.
Just for the record, has_stopped_jobs() is absolutely wrong too. But we
can't fix it now, we should first fix SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED issues.
Even with this patch ^Z doesn't play well with the dead main thread.
The task is stopped correctly but do_wait(WSTOPPED) won't see it. This
is another unrelated issue, will be (hopefully) fixed separately.

There is no page->offset anymore and also no associated limit on the number
of objects. The page->offset field was removed for 2.6.24. So the check
in kmem_cache_flags() is now also obsolete (should have been dropped
earlier, somehow a hunk vanished).

Mathieu is working on a new version that addresses the fastpath issues but that
new code first needs to go through mm and it is not clear if we need the
