When we try to compile a clocksource driver with the COMPILE_TEST option,
we can't select the GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK because the sched_clock() symbol
will be duplicated with the one defined for the x86.

In order to fix that, we don't select the GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK in the
driver Kconfig's file but we define some empty functions for the different
symbols in order to prevent the unresolved ones.

This patch fixes the COMPILE_TEST option for the compile test coverage for
the clocksource drivers. Without this patch, we can't add the COMPILE_TEST
option for the clocksource drivers using the GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK.

 "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in
  previous kernel.  The present version contains a bug.  Vladimir
  Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with
  CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed5: "slub: fix kmem cgroup
  bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk").  Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in
  kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 03374518 "slub:
  add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk").

  I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree
  users of the API.

  But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the
  net-tree"

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.

Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'.  This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.

A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.

The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled.  With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist.  To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary.  Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.

To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.

If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
to not add any asm code.

Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context.  Thus,
we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
memcg_kmem_get_cache().

This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.

As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
to handle an array of objects.

A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
same type (size_t) as size argument.  This helps the compiler to easier
realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
evaluates to nothing.  Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow

In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.

The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.

To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist.  The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:

 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
    thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.

 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
    each with a separate head pointer.

 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.

Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization.  The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed.  The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk.  Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.

All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page.  The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.

Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().

Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
larger bulking.  This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
can achieve similar performance.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).

Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object.  This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.

This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().

Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists.  When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.

These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.

Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

Adjust the linker script and map_pages() to map kernel text and data on
physical 1MB huge/large pages.

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.

The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.

Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

Use the 22bit instead of the 17bit branch instruction on a 64bit kernel
to reach the do_syscall_trace_exit function from the gateway page.
A huge page enabled kernel may need the additional branch distance bits.
