If the kernel OOPSed or BUGed then it probably should be considered as

8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

2492268472 SLUB: change error reporting format to follow lockdep loosely
Changes the error reporting format to loosely follow lockdep.

If data corruption is detected then we generate the following lines:

============================================
BUG <slab-cache>: <problem>
--------------------------------------------

INFO: <more information> [possibly multiple times]

<object dump>

FIX <slab-cache>: <remedial action>

This also adds some more intelligence to the data corruption detection. Its
now capable of figuring out the start and end.

Add a comment on how to configure SLUB so that a production system may
continue to operate even though occasional slab corruption occur through
a misbehaving kernel component. See "Emergency operations" in
Documentation/vm/slub.txt.

7e63efef85 Add a movablecore= parameter for sizing ZONE_MOVABLE
This patch adds a new parameter for sizing ZONE_MOVABLE called
movablecore=.  While kernelcore= is used to specify the minimum amount of
memory that must be available for all allocation types, movablecore= is
used to specify the minimum amount of memory that is used for migratable
allocations.  The amount of memory used for migratable allocations
determines how large the huge page pool could be dynamically resized to at
runtime for example.

How movablecore is actually handled is that the total number of pages in
the system is calculated and a value is set for kernelcore that is

kernelcore == totalpages - movablecore

Both kernelcore= and movablecore= can be safely specified at the same time.

ed7ed36517 handle kernelcore=: generic
This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for x86.

Once all patches are applied, a new command-line parameter exist and a new
sysctl.  This patch adds the necessary documentation.

From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com>

  When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64
  because of an infinite loop.  In addition, the parsing code can be handled
  in an architecture-independent manner.

  This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter.  It is
  only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing
  (i.e.  define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP).  Other architectures will
  ignore the boot parameter.

d52988023a Remove the last few UMSDOS leftovers
The UMSDOS filesystem was removed back in 2.6.11, but some tiny bits stuck
around.  This patch removes the few remaining leftovers.  The only things
left behind after this are the entries in the CREDITS file and the ioctl
number in Documentation/ioctl-number.txt as documentation.

This third (hopefully final) version of the patch doesn't edit the
arch/um/config.release file, since Jeff Dike pointed out to me that it
should die completely, and asked me to remove it from my patch as he'll
send in a seperate patch removing the file completely.

cc1ed7542c init: wait for asynchronously scanned block devices
Some buses (e.g.  USB and MMC) do their scanning of devices in the
background, causing a race between them and prepare_namespace().  In order
to be able to use these buses without an initrd, we now wait for the device
specified in root= to actually show up.

If the device never shows up than we will hang in an infinite loop.  In
order to not mess with setups that reboot on panic, the feature must be
turned on via the command line option "rootwait".

Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, it can also be
changed at run-time by modifying
  /sys/module/printk/parameters/time
to a value of 1/Y/y to enabled it or 0/N/n to disable it.

Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, its value can also
be set at boot-time by using
  linux printk.time=<bool>

If the "time" boot option is used, print a message that it is deprecated
and will be removed.

Note its planned removal in feature-removal-schedule.txt.

185848707e fault-injection: fix example scripts in documentation
Fix and cleanup example scripts in fault injection documentation.

1. Eliminate broken oops() shell function.

2. Fold failcmd.sh and failmodule.sh into example scripts. It makes
   the example scripts work independent of current working directory.

3. Set "space" parameter to 0 to start injecting errors immediately.

4. Use /sys/module/<modulename>/sections/.data as upper bound of
   .text section. Because some module doesn't have .exit.text section.

54114994f4 fault-injection: add min-order parameter to fail_page_alloc
Limiting smaller allocation failures by fault injection helps to find real
possible bugs.  Because higher order allocations are likely to fail and
zero-order allocations are not likely to fail.

This patch adds min-order parameter to fail_page_alloc.  It specifies the
minimum page allocation order to be injected failures.

45807a1df9 vdso: print fatal signals
Add the print-fatal-signals=1 boot option and the
/proc/sys/kernel/print-fatal-signals runtime switch.

This feature prints some minimal information about userspace segfaults to
the kernel console.  This is useful to find early bootup bugs where
userspace debugging is very hard.

Defaults to off.

f0630fff54 SLUB: support slub_debug on by default
Add a new configuration variable

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON

If set then the kernel will be booted by default with slab debugging
switched on. Similar to CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG. By default slab debugging
is available but must be enabled by specifying "slub_debug" as a
kernel parameter.

Also add support to switch off slab debugging for a kernel that was
built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. This works by specifying

slub_debug=-

as a kernel parameter.

Dave Jones wanted this feature.

f0c0b2b808 change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic
Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6.

This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable.
Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based.

[Default Order]
The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically.

[Node-based Order]
This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter.
Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones
(ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion.
IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist.
current 2.6.21 kernel uses this.

Pros.
 * A user can expect local memory as much as possible.
Cons.
 * lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL.

Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL
because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality.

(example)
assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL.

*node(0)'s memory allocation order:

 node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL.

*node(1)'s memory allocation order:

 node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.

[Zone-based order]
This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter.
Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone
never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion.
IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist.

Pros.
 * OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted.
Cons.
 * memory locality may not be best.

(example)
assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL.

*node(0)'s memory allocation order:

 node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.

*node(1)'s memory allocation order:

 node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA.

bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd.

command:
%echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order

Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order.

command:
%echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order

Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

Thanks to Lee Schermerhorn, he gives me much help and codes.

18a8bd949d serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250
Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h.  the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage.  the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time.  need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.

Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier.  Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.

new command line will be:
	console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
	earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8

it will print in very early stage:
	Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
	console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
	console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

positives, plus a clarification of the output to better guide use.  Of
note:

  - checks for documentation for new __setup calls
  - clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved
  - reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing
  - reports on unwanted externs

This patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl
itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it
is not intended as the final arbitor of style.

Full changelog:

Andy Whitcroft (19):
      Version: 0.07
      ensure we do not apply control brace checks to preprocesor directives

      report on do{ spacing issues
      include an example of the brace/parenthesis in output
      check for spacing after closing braces
      prevent double reports on pointer spacing issues
      handle blank continuation lines on macros
      classify all reports error, warning, or check
      revamp hanging { checks and apply in context
      no spaces after the last ; in a for is ok
