5f11e02019 x86, boot: simplify arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
Simplify the arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile, by using the new
capability of specifying multiple inputs to a compressor, and the
CONFIG_X86_NEED_RELOCS Kconfig symbol.

845adf7266 x86: add a Kconfig symbol for when relocations are needed
We only need to build relocations when we are building a 32-bit
relocatable kernel.  Rather than unnecessarily complicating the
Makefiles, make an explicit Kbuild symbol for this.

[ Impact: permits future cleanup ]

d3dd3b5a29 kbuild: allow compressors (gzip, bzip2, lzma) to take multiple inputs
Allow the compression commands in Kbuild (i.e. gzip, bzip2, lzma) to
take multiple input files and emit the concatenated compressed
output.  This avoids an intermediate step when a kernel image is built
from multiple components, such as the relocatable x86-32 kernel.

Sam Ravnborg integrated the bin_size script into the Makefile.

0b4eb462da x86, boot: align the .bss section in the decompressor
Aligning the .bss section makes it trivial to use large operation
sizes for moving the initialized sections and clearing the .bss.
The alignment chosen (L1 cache) is somewhat arbitrary, but should be
large enough to avoid all known performance traps and small enough to
not cause troubles.

83c4832683 x86: boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds.S: fix build of bzImage with 64 bit compiler
Jesper reported that he saw following build issue:

 > ld:arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds:9: syntax error
 > make[2]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 1
 > make[1]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
 > make: *** [bzImage] Error 2

CPP defines the symbol "i386" to "1".
Undefine this to fix it.

1f6397bac5 x86, vmlinux.lds: unify data output sections
For 64 bit the following functional changes are introduced:

 - .data.page_aligned has moved
 - .data.cacheline_aligned has moved
 - .data.read_mostly has moved
 - ALIGN() moved out of output section for .data.cacheline_aligned
 - ALIGN() moved out of output section for .data.page_aligned

Notice that 32 bit and 64 bit has different location of _edata.
.data_nosave is 32 bit only as 64 bit is special due to PERCPU.

dfc20895d9 x86, vmlinux.lds: unify .text output sections
32 bit x86 had a dedicated .text.head output section,
whereas 64 bit had it all in a single output section.

In the unified version the dedicated .text.head output section
was kept to have full control over the head code.

32 bit:

- Moved definition of _stext to the linker script.
  The definition is located _after_ .text.page_aligned as this
  is what 32 bit did before.

The ALIGN(8) was introduced so we hit the exact same address
(on the tested config) before and after the move.

I assume that it is a bug that _stext did not cover the
.text.page_aligned section - if this is true it can be fixed
in a follow-up patch (and the ugly ALIGN() can be dropped).

51b26ada79 x86: unify arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds
Look at the:

	diff -u arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds

output and realize that they're basially exactly the same except for
trivial naming differences, and the fact that the 64-bit version has a
"pgtable" thing.

So unify them.

There's some trivial cleanup there (make the output format a Kconfig thing
rather than doing #ifdef's for it, and unify both 32-bit and 64-bit BSS
end to "_ebss", where 32-bit used to use the traditional "_end"), but
other than that it's really very mindless and straigt conversion.

For example, I think we should aim to remove "startup_32" vs "startup_64",
and just call it "startup", and get rid of one more difference. I didn't
do that.

Also, notice the comment in the unified vmlinux.lds.S talks about
"head_64" and "startup_32" which is an odd and incorrect mix, but that was
actually what the old 64-bit only lds file had, so the confusion isn't
new, and now that mixing is arguably more accurate thanks to the
vmlinux.lds.S file being shared between the two cases ;)

ea34f43a07 acpi-cpufreq: fix 'smp_call_function_many()' confusion
It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like
'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it
rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work.

My bad.

'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"):

 (a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses
     smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()'
     and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does.

 (b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the
     call on that CPU.

Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than
looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a
broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel.  So let's just work around the
silly semantic bugs in that function.

a36e71f996 cfq-iosched: add close cooperator code
If we have processes that are working in close proximity to each
other on disk, we don't want to idle wait. Instead allow the close
process to issue a request, getting better aggregate bandwidth.
The anticipatory scheduler has similar checks, noop and deadline do
not need it since they don't care about process <-> io mappings.

The code for CFQ is a little more involved though, since we split
request queues into per-process contexts.

This fixes a performance problem with eg dump(8), since it uses
several processes in some silly attempt to speed IO up. Even if
dump(8) isn't really a valid case (it should be fixed by using
CLONE_IO), there are other cases where we see close processes
and where idling ends up hurting performance.

Credit goes to Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> for writing the
initial implementation.

40bb54d197 cfq-iosched: no need to save interrupts in cfq_kick_queue()
It's called from the workqueue handlers from process context, so
we always have irqs enabled when entered.

c2572f2b4f brd: fix cacheflushing
brd is missing a flush_dcache_page. On 2nd thoughts, perhaps it is the
pagecache's responsibility to flush user virtual aliases (the driver of
course should flush kernel virtual mappings)... but anyway, there
already exists cache flushing for one direction of transfer, so we
should add the other.

dfbc4752ea brd: support barriers
brd is always ordered (not that it matters, as it is defined not to
survive when the system goes down). So tell the block layer it is
ordered, which might be of help with testing filesystems.

61e0d47c33 splice: add helpers for locking pipe inode
There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code:

	if (pipe->inode)
		mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex);
	/* do something */
	if (pipe->inode)
		mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex);

so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking.
Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock()
helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the
pipe code.

This patch is just a cleanup, and should cause no behavioral changes.

f8cc774ce4 splice: remove generic_file_splice_write_nolock()
Remove the now unused generic_file_splice_write_nolock() function.
It's conceptually broken anyway, because splice may need to wait for
pipe events so holding locks across the whole operation is wrong.

b3c2d2ddd6 splice: split up __splice_from_pipe()
Split up __splice_from_pipe() into four helper functions:

  splice_from_pipe_begin()
  splice_from_pipe_next()
  splice_from_pipe_feed()
  splice_from_pipe_end()

splice_from_pipe_next() will wait (if necessary) for more buffers to
be added to the pipe.  splice_from_pipe_feed() will feed the buffers
to the supplied actor and return when there's no more data available
(or if all of the requested data has been copied).

This is necessary so that implementations can do locking around the
non-waiting splice_from_pipe_feed().

This patch should not cause any change in behavior.
