kbuild: Clean up and speed up the localversion logic
Now that we run scripts/setlocalversion during every build, it makes
sense to move all the localversion logic there. This cleans up the
toplevel Makefile and also makes sure that the script is called only
once in 'make prepare' (previously, it would be called every time due to
a variable expansion in an ifneq statement). No user-visible change is
intended, unless one runs the setlocalversion script directly.

This fixes the code to match the original intention by the author who
originally added the code I believe.
The fixes include:
- removing extra whitespaces in the if-statements
- moving the if-statement from around the -r to the -T
- adding a second arg to cmd_gensymtypes to simplify the options passed
to genksyms.
Tested by instrumenting genksyms and seeing what options were passed in
during a make, KBUILD_SYMTYPES make, and when a foo.symref was created.
Everything compiled and looked ok.

Minor perlcritic warning:
headerdep.pl: "return" statement with explicit "undef" at line 84, column 2. See page 199 of PBP. (Severity: 5)
The rationale according to PBP is that an explicit return of undef
(contrary to most people's expectations) doesn't
always evaluate as false. It has to with the fact that perl return value
depends on context the function is called. If function is used in
list context, the appropriate return value for false is an empty list;
whereas in scalar context the return value for false is undefined.
By just using a "return" both cases are handled.
In the context of a trivial script this doesn't matter. But one script
may be cut-paste into later code (most people like me only know 50%
of perl), that is why perlcritic always complains

Improve kconfig symbol hashing
While looking for something else I noticed that the symbol
hash function used by kconfig is quite poor. It doesn't
use any of the standard hash techniques but simply
adds up the string and then uses power of two masking,
which is both known to perform poorly.
The current x86 kconfig has over 7000 symbols.
When I instrumented it showed that the minimum hash chain
length was 16 and a significant number of them was over
30.
It didn't help that the hash table size was only 256 buckets.
This patch increases the hash table size to a larger prime
and switches to a FNV32 hash. I played around with a couple of hash
functions, but that one seemed to perform best with reasonable
hash table sizes.
Increasing the hash table size even further didn't
seem like a good idea, because there are a couple of global
walks which walk the complete hash table.
I also moved the unnamed bucket to 0. It's still the longest
of all the buckets (44 entries), but hopefully it's not
often hit except for the global walk which doesn't care.
The result is a much nicer distribution:
(first column bucket length, second number of buckets with that length)
1: 3505
2: 1236
3: 294
4: 52
5: 3
47: 1 <--- this is the unnamed symbols bucket
There are still some 5+ buckets, but increasing the hash table
even more would be likely not worth it.
This also cleans up the code slightly by removing hard coded
magic numbers.
I didn't notice a big performance difference either way
on my Nehalem system, but I presume it'll help somewhat
on slower systems.

kbuild: improve version string logic
The LOCALVERSION= string passed to "make" will now always be appended to
the kernel version after CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, if it exists, regardless of
whether CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set or not. This allows users to
uniquely identify their kernel builds with a string.
If CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, the unique SCM tag reported by
setlocalversion (or .scmversion) is appended to the kernel version, if it
exists. When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not enabled, a `+' is appended
to the kernel version to represent that the kernel has been revised since
the last release unless "make LOCALVERSION=" was used to uniquely identify
the build.
The end result is this:
- when LOCALVERSION= is passed to "make", it is appended to the kernel
version,
- when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, a unique SCM identifier is
appended if the respository has been revised beyond a tagged commit,
and
- when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is disabled, a `+' is appended if the
repository has been revised beyond a tagged commit and LOCALVERSION=
was not passed to "make".
Without CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO, "make" results in v2.6.32-rc4+
unless the repository is at the Linux v2.6.32-rc4 commit (in which
case the version would be v2.6.32-rc4). If "make LOCALVERSION=kbuild"
were used, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild.
Also renames variables such as localver-auto and _localver-auto to more
accurately describe what they represent: localver-extra and

scripts: add ARM support to decodecode
This patch adds support for decoding ARM oopses to scripts/decodecode.
The following things are handled:
- ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variables are respected.
- The Code: in x86 oopses is in bytes, while it is in either words (4
bytes) or halfwords for ARM.
- Some versions of ARM objdump refuse to disassemble instructions
generated by literal constants (".word 0x..."). The workaround is to
strip the object file first.
- The faulting instruction is marked (liked so) in ARM, but <like so>
in x86.
- ARM mnemonics may include characters such as [] which need to be
escaped before being passed to sed for the "<- trapping instruction"
substitution.

kconfig CROSS_COMPILE option
This adds CROSS_COMPILE as a kconfig string so you can store it in
.config. Then you can use plain "make" in the configured kernel build
directory to do the right cross compilation without setting the
command-line or environment variable every time.
With this, you can set up different build directories for different kernel
configurations, whether native or cross-builds, and then use the simple:
make -C /build/dir M=module-source-dir
idiom to build modules for any given target kernel, indicating which one
by nothing but the build directory chosen.
I tried a version that defaults the string with env="CROSS_COMPILE" so
that in a "make oldconfig" with CROSS_COMPILE in the environment you can
just hit return to store the way you're building it. But the kconfig
prompt for strings doesn't give you any way to say you want an empty
string instead of the default, so I punted that.

mm: fix migratetype bug which slowed swapping
After memory pressure has forced it to dip into the reserves, 2.6.32's 5f8dcc21211a3d4e3a7a5ca366b469fb88117f61 "page-allocator: split per-cpu
list into one-list-per-migrate-type" has been returning MIGRATE_RESERVE
pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE free_list: in some sense depleting reserves.
Fix that in the most straightforward way (which, considering the overheads
of alternative approaches, is Mel's preference): the right migratetype is
already in page_private(page), but free_pcppages_bulk() wasn't using it.
How did this bug show up? As a 20% slowdown in my tmpfs loop kbuild
swapping tests, on PowerMac G5 with SLUB allocator. Bisecting to that
commit was easy, but explaining the magnitude of the slowdown not easy.
The same effect appears, but much less markedly, with SLAB, and even
less markedly on other machines (the PowerMac divides into fewer zones
than x86, I think that may be a factor). We guess that lumpy reclaim
of short-lived high-order pages is implicated in some way, and probably
this bug has been tickling a poor decision somewhere in page reclaim.
But instrumentation hasn't told me much, I've run out of time and
imagination to determine exactly what's going on, and shouldn't hold up
the fix any longer: it's valid, and might even fix other misbehaviours.

x86: get rid of the insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit
Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality
setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries.
And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go
away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing
for a 32-bit compat process.
Everything becomes much more straightforward this way.

Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions
'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.
Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.
As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.
This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.
