2014-01-23mm: documentation: remove hopelessly out-of-date locking docDave Hansen
Documentation/vm/locking is a blast from the past. In the entire git history, it has had precisely Three modifications. Two of those look to be pure renames, and the third was from 2005. The doc contains such gems as: > The page_table_lock is grabbed while holding the > kernel_lock spinning monitor. > Page stealers hold kernel_lock to protect against a bunch of > races. Or this which talks about mmap_sem: > 4. The exception to this rule is expand_stack, which just > takes the read lock and the page_table_lock, this is ok > because it doesn't really modify fields anybody relies on. expand_stack() doesn't take any locks any more directly, and the mmap_sem acquisition was long ago moved up in to the page fault code itself. It could be argued that we need to rewrite this, but it is dangerous to leave it as-is. It will confuse more people than it helps.

2014-01-21mm: add overcommit_kbytes sysctl variableJerome Marchand
Some applications that run on HPC clusters are designed around the availability of RAM and the overcommit ratio is fine tuned to get the maximum usage of memory without swapping. With growing memory, the 1%-of-all-RAM grain provided by overcommit_ratio has become too coarse for these workload (on a 2TB machine it represents no less than 20GB). This patch adds the new overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable that allow a much finer grain.

2014-01-21/proc/meminfo: provide estimated available memoryRik van Riel
Many load balancing and workload placing programs check /proc/meminfo to estimate how much free memory is available. They generally do this by adding up "free" and "cached", which was fine ten years ago, but is pretty much guaranteed to be wrong today. It is wrong because Cached includes memory that is not freeable as page cache, for example shared memory segments, tmpfs, and ramfs, and it does not include reclaimable slab memory, which can take up a large fraction of system memory on mostly idle systems with lots of files. Currently, the amount of memory that is available for a new workload, without pushing the system into swap, can be estimated from MemFree, Active(file), Inactive(file), and SReclaimable, as well as the "low" watermarks from /proc/zoneinfo. However, this may change in the future, and user space really should not be expected to know kernel internals to come up with an estimate for the amount of free memory. It is more convenient to provide such an estimate in /proc/meminfo. If things change in the future, we only have to change it in one place.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio Pull GPIO tree bulk changes from Linus Walleij: "A big set this merge window, as we have much going on in this subsystem. The changes to other subsystems (notably a slew of ARM machines as I am doing away with their custom APIs) have all been ACKed to the extent possible. Major changes this time: - Some core improvements and cleanups to the new GPIO descriptor API. This seems to be working now so we can start the exodus to this API, moving gradually away from the global GPIO numberspace. - Incremental improvements to the ACPI GPIO core, and move the few GPIO ACPI clients we have to the GPIO descriptor API right *now* before we go any further. We actually managed to contain this *before* we started to litter the kernel with yet another hackish global numberspace for the ACPI GPIOs, which is a big win. - The RFkill GPIO driver and all platforms using it have been migrated to use the GPIO descriptors rather than fixed number assignments. Tegra machine has been migrated as part of this. - New drivers for MOXA ART, Xtensa GPIO32 and SMSC SCH311x. Those should be really good examples of how I expect a nice GPIO driver to look these days. - Do away with custom GPIO implementations on a major part of the ARM machines: ks8695, lpc32xx, mv78xx0. Make a first step towards the same in the horribly convoluted Samsung S3C include forest. We expect to continue to clean this up as we move forward. - Flag GPIO lines used for IRQ on adnp, bcm-kona, em, intel-mid and lynxpoint. This makes the GPIOlib core aware that a certain GPIO line is used for IRQs and can then enforce some semantics such as disallowing a GPIO line marked as in use for IRQ to be switched to output mode. - Drop all use of irq_set_chip_and_handler_name(). The name provided in these cases were just unhelpful tags like "mux" or "demux". - Extend the MCP23s08 driver to handle interrupts. - Minor incremental improvements for rcar, lynxpoint, em 74x164 and msm drivers. - Some non-urgent bug fixes here and there, duplicate #includes and that usual kind of cleanups" Fix up broken Kconfig file manually to make this all compile. * tag 'gpio-v3.14-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (71 commits) gpio: mcp23s08: fix casting caused build warning gpio: mcp23s08: depend on OF_GPIO gpio: mcp23s08: Add irq functionality for i2c chips ARM: S5P[v210|c100|64x0]: Fix build error gpio: pxa: clamp gpio get value to [0,1] ARM: s3c24xx: explicit dependency on <plat/gpio-cfg.h> ARM: S3C[24|64]xx: move includes back under <mach/> scope Documentation / ACPI: update to GPIO descriptor API gpio / ACPI: get rid of acpi_gpio.h gpio / ACPI: register to ACPI events automatically mmc: sdhci-acpi: convert to use GPIO descriptor API ARM: s3c24xx: fix build error gpio: f7188x: set can_sleep attribute gpio: samsung: Update documentation gpio: samsung: Remove hardware.h inclusion gpio: xtensa: depend on HAVE_XTENSA_GPIO32 gpio: clps711x: Enable driver compilation with COMPILE_TEST gpio: clps711x: Use of_match_ptr() net: rfkill: gpio: convert to descriptor-based GPIO interface leds: s3c24xx: Fix build failure ...

The cache's policy may have been established using the "default" alias, which is currently the "mq" policy but the default policy may change in the future. It is useful to know exactly which policy is being used. Add a 'real' member to the dm_cache_policy_type structure and have the "default" dm_cache_policy_type point to the real "mq" dm_cache_policy_type. Update dm_cache_policy_get_name() to check if real is set, if so report the name of the real policy (not the alias).

2014-01-15x86, apic, kexec: Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameterHATAYAMA Daisuke
Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter. To use this kernel parameter, specify an initial APIC ID of the corresponding CPU you want to disable. This is mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to disable BSP to wake up multiple CPUs without causing system reset or hang due to sending INIT from AP to BSP. Kdump users first figure out initial APIC ID of the BSP, CPU0 in the 1st kernel, for example from /proc/cpuinfo and then set up this kernel parameter for the 2nd kernel using the obtained APIC ID. However, doing this procedure at each boot time manually is awkward, which should be automatically done by user-land service scripts, for example, kexec-tools on fedora/RHEL distributions. This design is more flexible than disabling BSP in kernel boot time automatically in that in kernel boot time we have no choice but referring to ACPI/MP table to obtain initial APIC ID for BSP, meaning that the method is not applicable to the systems without such BIOS tables. One assumption behind this design is that users get initial APIC ID of the BSP in still healthy state and so BSP is uniquely kept in CPU0. Thus, through the kernel parameter, only one initial APIC ID can be specified. In a comparison with disabled_cpu_apicid, we use read_apic_id(), not boot_cpu_physical_apicid, because on some platforms, the variable is modified to the apicid reported as BSP through MP table and this function is executed with the temporarily modified boot_cpu_physical_apicid. As a result, disabled_cpu_apicid kernel parameter doesn't work well for apicids of APs. Fixing the wrong handling of boot_cpu_physical_apicid requires some reviews and tests beyond some platforms and it could take some time. The fix here is a kind of workaround to focus on the main topic of this patch.
