Period of the PWM is configurable in the platform side. Platform
specific functions are unnecessary anymore because generic PWM functions
are used inside the driver.
(PWM input mode)
To set the brightness, new lp855x_pwm_ctrl() is used.
If a PWM device is not allocated, devm_pwm_get() is called.
The PWM consumer name is from the chip name such as 'lp8550' and 'lp8556'.
To get the brightness value, no additional handling is required.
Just the value of 'props.brightness' is returned.
If the PWM driver is not ready while initializing the LP855x driver, it's
OK. The PWM device can be retrieved later, when the brightness value is
changed.
Documentation is updated with an example.

swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead
The swapin readahead does a blind readahead whether or not the swapin is
sequential. This is ok for harddisk because large reads have relatively
small costs and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can be reclaimed
easily. But for SSD devices large reads are more expensive than small
one. If readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused significant
overhead
This patch addes a simple random read detection similar to file mmap
readahead. If a random read is detected, swapin readahead will be
skipped. This improves a lot for a swap workload with random IO in a fast
SSD.
I run anonymous mmap write micro benchmark, which will triger swapin/swapout.
For both harddisk and SSD, the randwrite swap workload run time is reduced
significantly. Sequential write swap workload hasn't chanage.
Interestingly, the randwrite harddisk test is improved too. This might be
because swapin readahead needs to allocate extra memory, which further
tights memory pressure, so more swapout/swapin.

Kosaki was worried about possible excessive logging when somebody drops

that) but I would say opposite. If somebody does that then I would really
like to know that from the log when supporting a system because it almost
for sure means that there is something fishy going on. It is also worth
mentioning that only root can write drop caches so this is not an flooding
attack vector.
I am bringing that up again because this can be really helpful when
chasing strange performance issues which (surprise surprise) turn out to
be related to artificially dropped caches done because the admin thinks
this would help...

2) pages managed by the buddy system.
For more discussions about the issue, please refer to:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/866
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1346751/
This patchset tries to introduce a new field named "managed_pages" to
struct zone, which counts "pages managed by the buddy system". And revert
zone->present_pages to count "physical pages existing in a zone", which
also keep in consistence with pgdat->node_present_pages.
We will set an initial value for zone->managed_pages in function
free_area_init_core() and will adjust it later if the initial value is
inaccurate.
For DMA/normal zones, the initial value is set to:
Later zone->managed_pages will be adjusted to the accurate value when the
bootmem allocator frees all free pages to the buddy system in function
free_all_bootmem_node() and free_all_bootmem().
The bootmem allocator doesn't touch highmem pages, so highmem zones'
managed_pages is set to the accurate value "spanned_pages - absent_pages"
in function free_area_init_core() and won't be updated anymore.

During reviewing the source code, I found a comment which mention that
after f_op->mmap(), vma's start address can be changed. I didn't verify
that it is really possible, because there are so many f_op->mmap()
implementation. But if there are some mmap() which change vma's start
address, it is possible error situation, because we already prepare prev
vma, rb_link and rb_parent and these are related to original address.
So add WARN_ON_ONCE for finding that this situtation really happens.

The user will be confused(why this function just counts for high or
normal memory node? does it counts for ZONE_MOVABLE's lru pages?)
until someone else tell them N_HIGH_MEMORY is reused to stand for
nodes that have any memory.
A.cont) If we introduce N_MEMORY, we can reduce this confusing
AND make the code more clearly:
A.example 2) mm/page_cgroup.c use N_HIGH_MEMORY twice:
One is in page_cgroup_init(void):
for_each_node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY) {
It means if the node have memory, we will allocate page_cgroup map for
the node. We should use N_MEMORY instead here to gaim more clearly.
The second using is in alloc_page_cgroup():
if (node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY))
addr = vzalloc_node(size, nid);
It means if the node has high or normal memory that can be allocated
from kernel. We should keep N_HIGH_MEMORY here, and it will be better
if the "any memory" semantic of N_HIGH_MEMORY is removed.
B) This reusing is out-dated if we introduce MOVABLE-dedicated node.
The MOVABLE-dedicated node should not appear in
node_stats[N_HIGH_MEMORY] nor node_stats[N_NORMAL_MEMORY],
because MOVABLE-dedicated node has no high or normal memory.
In x86_64, N_HIGH_MEMORY=N_NORMAL_MEMORY, if a MOVABLE-dedicated node
is in node_stats[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it is also means it is in
node_stats[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], it causes SLUB wrong.
The slub uses
for_each_node_state(nid, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
and creates kmem_cache_node for MOVABLE-dedicated node and cause problem.
In one word, we need a N_MEMORY. We just intrude it as an alias to
N_HIGH_MEMORY and fix all im-proper usages of N_HIGH_MEMORY in late
patches.

mm: use migrate_prep() instead of migrate_prep_local()
__alloc_contig_migrate_range() should use all possible ways to get all the
pages migrated from the given memory range, so pruning per-cpu lru lists
for all CPUs is required, regadless the cost of such operation. Otherwise
some pages which got stuck at per-cpu lru list might get missed by
migration procedure causing the contiguous allocation to fail.

thp, vmstat: implement HZP_ALLOC and HZP_ALLOC_FAILED events
hzp_alloc is incremented every time a huge zero page is successfully
allocated. It includes allocations which where dropped due
race with other allocation. Note, it doesn't count every map
of the huge zero page, only its allocation.
hzp_alloc_failed is incremented if kernel fails to allocate huge zero
page and falls back to using small pages.

H. Peter Anvin doesn't like huge zero page which sticks in memory forever
after the first allocation. Here's implementation of lockless refcounting
for huge zero page.
We have two basic primitives: {get,put}_huge_zero_page(). They
manipulate reference counter.
If counter is 0, get_huge_zero_page() allocates a new huge page and takes
two references: one for caller and one for shrinker. We free the page
only in shrinker callback if counter is 1 (only shrinker has the
reference).
put_huge_zero_page() only decrements counter. Counter is never zero in
put_huge_zero_page() since shrinker holds on reference.
Freeing huge zero page in shrinker callback helps to avoid frequent
allocate-free.
Refcounting has cost. On 4 socket machine I observe ~1% slowdown on
parallel (40 processes) read page faulting comparing to lazy huge page
allocation. I think it's pretty reasonable for synthetic benchmark.
