Add 3 new variables and sysctls to tune them (by one "next_id" variable
for messages, semaphores and shared memory respectively). This variable
can be used to set desired id for next allocated IPC object. By default
it's equal to -1 and old behaviour is preserved. If this variable is
non-negative, then desired idr will be extracted from it and used as a
start value to search for free IDR slot.
Notes:
1) this patch doesn't guarantee that the new object will have desired
id. So it's up to user space how to handle new object with wrong id.
2) After a sucessful id allocation attempt, "next_id" will be set back
to -1 (if it was non-negative).

/proc/pid/status: add "Seccomp" field
It is currently impossible to examine the state of seccomp for a given
process. While attaching with gdb and attempting "call
prctl(PR_GET_SECCOMP,...)" will work with some situations, it is not
reliable. If the process is in seccomp mode 1, this query will kill the
process (prctl not allowed), if the process is in mode 2 with prctl not
allowed, it will similarly be killed, and in weird cases, if prctl is
filtered to return errno 0, it can look like seccomp is disabled.
When reviewing the state of running processes, there should be a way to
externally examine the seccomp mode. ("Did this build of Chrome end up
using seccomp?" "Did my distro ship ssh with seccomp enabled?")
This adds the "Seccomp" line to /proc/$pid/status.

procfs: add VmFlags field in smaps output
During c/r sessions we've found that there is no way at the moment to
fetch some VMA associated flags, such as mlock() and madvise().
This leads us to a problem -- we don't know if we should call for mlock()
and/or madvise() after restore on the vma area we're bringing back to
life.
This patch intorduces a new field into "smaps" output called VmFlags,
where all set flags associated with the particular VMA is shown as two
letter mnemonics.
[ Strictly speaking for c/r we only need mlock/madvise bits but it has been
said that providing just a few flags looks somehow inconsistent. So all
flags are here now. ]
This feature is made available on CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=n kernels, as
other applications may start to use these fields.
The data is encoded in a somewhat awkward two letters mnemonic form, to
encourage userspace to be prepared for fields being added or removed in
the future.

hfsplus: add on-disk layout declarations related to attributes tree
Current mainline implementation of hfsplus file system driver treats as
extended attributes only two fields (fdType and fdCreator) of user_info
field in file description record (struct hfsplus_cat_file). It is
possible to get or set only these two fields as extended attributes. But
HFS+ treats as com.apple.FinderInfo extended attribute an union of
user_info and finder_info fields as for file (struct hfsplus_cat_file) as
for folder (struct hfsplus_cat_folder). Moreover, current mainline
implementation of hfsplus file system driver doesn't support special
metadata file - attributes tree.
Mac OS X 10.4 and later support extended attributes by making use of the
HFS+ filesystem Attributes file B*-tree feature which allows for named
forks. Mac OS X supports only inline extended attributes, limiting their
size to 3802 bytes. Any regular file may have a list of extended
attributes. HFS+ supports an arbitrary number of named forks. Each
attribute is denoted by a name and the associated data. The name is a
null-terminated Unicode string. It is possible to list, to get, to set,
and to remove extended attributes from files or directories.
It exists some peculiarity during getting of extended attributes list by
means of getfattr utility. The getfattr utility expects prefix "user."
before any extended attribute's name. So, it ignores any names that don't
contained such prefix. Such behavior of getfattr utility results in
unexpected empty output of extended attributes list even in the case when
file (or folder) contains extended attributes. It needs to use empty
string as regular expression pattern for names matching (getfattr
--match="").
For support of extended attributes in HFS+:
1. It was added necessary on-disk layout declarations related to
Attributes tree into hfsplus_raw.h file.
2. It was added attributes.c file with implementation of functionality
of manipulation by records in Attributes tree.
3. It was reworked hfsplus_listxattr, hfsplus_getxattr,
hfsplus_setxattr functions in ioctl.c. Moreover, it was added
hfsplus_removexattr method.
This patch:
Add all neccessary on-disk layout declarations related to attributes
file.

features in the newer IP's compared to legacy ones other than kicker,
which driver currently doesn't handle, supporting additional features
would be easier with the addition of id table.
Older IP (of OMAP1) doesn't have revision register as per TRM, so revision
register can't be relied always to find features, hence id table is being

epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app
It is not currently possible to reliably delete epoll items when using the
same epoll set from multiple threads. After calling epoll_ctl with
EPOLL_CTL_DEL, another thread might still be executing code related to an
event for that epoll item (in response to epoll_wait). Therefore the
deleting thread does not know when it is safe to delete resources
pertaining to the associated epoll item because another thread might be
using those resources.
The deleting thread could wait an arbitrary amount of time after calling
epoll_ctl with EPOLL_CTL_DEL and before deleting the item, but this is
inefficient and could result in the destruction of resources before
another thread is done handling an event returned by epoll_wait.
This patch enhances epoll_ctl to support EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE, which disables
an epoll item. If epoll_ctl returns -EBUSY in this case, then another
thread may handling a return from epoll_wait for this item. Otherwise if
epoll_ctl returns 0, then it is safe to delete the epoll item. This
allows multiple threads to use a mutex to determine when it is safe to
delete an epoll item and its associated resources, which allows epoll
items to be deleted both efficiently and without error in a multi-threaded
environment. Note that EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE is only useful in conjunction
with EPOLLONESHOT, and using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on an epoll item without
EPOLLONESHOT returns -EINVAL.
This patch also adds a new test_epoll self-test program to both
demonstrate the need for this feature and test it.

percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and

drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c: use generic PWM functions
The LP855x family devices support the PWM input for the backlight control.
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.

drop_caches: add some documentation and info message
I would like to resurrect Dave's patch. The last time it was posted was
here https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/16/250 and there didn't seem to be any
strong opposition.
Kosaki was worried about possible excessive logging when somebody drops
caches too often (but then he claimed he didn't have a strong opinion on
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...
I have just refreshed the original patch on top of the current mm tree
but I could live with KERN_INFO as well if people think that KERN_NOTICE
is too hysterical.
