value to shmem/tmpfs swap pages: their swap counts are never incremented,
and it helps swapoff's try_to_unuse() a little if it can immediately
distinguish those pages from process pages.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm: add gfp flags for NODEMASK_ALLOC slab allocations
Objects passed to NODEMASK_ALLOC() are relatively small in size and are
backed by slab caches that are not of large order, traditionally never
greater than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
Thus, using GFP_KERNEL for these allocations on large machines when
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8 will cause the page allocator to loop endlessly in
the allocation attempt, each time invoking both direct reclaim or the oom
killer.
This is of particular interest when using NODEMASK_ALLOC() from a
mempolicy context (either directly in mm/mempolicy.c or the mempolicy
constrained hugetlb allocations) since the oom killer always kills current
when allocations are constrained by mempolicies. So for all present use
cases in the kernel, current would end up being oom killed when direct
reclaim fails. That would allow the NODEMASK_ALLOC() to succeed but
current would have sacrificed itself upon returning.
This patch adds gfp flags to NODEMASK_ALLOC() to pass to kmalloc() on
CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8; this parameter is a nop on other configurations.
All current use cases either directly from hugetlb code or indirectly via
NODEMASK_SCRATCH() union __GFP_NORETRY to avoid direct reclaim and the oom
killer when the slab allocator needs to allocate additional pages.
The side-effect of this change is that all current use cases of either
NODEMASK_ALLOC() or NODEMASK_SCRATCH() need appropriate -ENOMEM handling
when the allocation fails (never for CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT <= 8). All
current use cases were audited and do have appropriate error handling at
this time.

node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the
behavior before this patch.
* For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation,
a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced.
"local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the
task adjusting nr_hugepages.
* For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask
will be used.
* Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node
mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes
behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask
with no "fallback".
See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information

Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch,

Because the hfs_readdir() function executes upon any attempt to read a
directory on the filesystem, it gets called whenever a user attempts to
inspect any filesystem contents.

udf: Avoid IO in udf_clear_inode
It is not very good to do IO in udf_clear_inode. First, VFS does not really
expect inode to become dirty there and thus we have to write it ourselves,
second, memory reclaim gets blocked waiting for IO when it does not really
expect it, third, the IO pattern (e.g. on umount) resulting from writes in
udf_clear_inode is bad and it slows down writing a lot.
The reason why UDF needed to do IO in udf_clear_inode is that UDF standard
mandates extent length to exactly match inode size. But when we allocate
extents to a file or directory, we don't really know what exactly the final
file size will be and thus temporarily set it to block boundary and later
truncate it to exact length in udf_clear_inode. Now, this is changed to
truncate to final file size in udf_release_file for regular files. For
directories and symlinks, we do the truncation at the moment when learn
what the final file size will be.

udf: Try harder when looking for VAT inode
Some disks do not contain VAT inode in the last recorded block as required
by the standard but a few blocks earlier (or the number of recorded blocks
is wrong). So look for the VAT inode a bit before the end of the media.

microblaze: Remove the buggy ALLOW_EDIT_AUTO config option
This was intended to allow manual override of CPU settings copied automatically
to Kconfig.auto, however it's problematic for several reasons, but mostly:
* If the defconfig doesn't have ALLOW_EDIT_AUTO=y, then it's impossible for
that defconfig to iverride the values in the kernel source tree. This leads
to very strange errors where the kernel is compiled with the wrong CPUFLAGS.
Next patch in the series will back out the default in Kconfig.auto to baseline
settings, so a kernel built with no default values will at least boot on any
hardware, just not make use of additional CPU features.

microblaze: support U-BOOT image format
Two version are generated.
linux.bin.ub which is created from linux.bin file
and
simpleImage.<dts>.ub which is created from stripped simpleImage.<dts> file
Load address and entry point is for microblaze first instruction
which is CONFIG_KERNEL_BASE_ADDR variable.
There is possible for simpleImage format parse _start symbol too.
simpleImage.<dts> is still stripped elf file
I cleared simpleImage.<dts>.unstrip file because there are so big.
