Bastian Blank reported a boot crash with stackprotector enabled,
and debugged it back to edx register corruption.

For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special
calling sequences to make them more efficient.  With the more
recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations
this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_
macros.

This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which left
edx liable to inadvertent clobbering. Also, fix some bugs in
__PVOP_VCALLEESAVE which were revealed by actual use.

Latest kernel has a kernel panic in booting on i386 machine when
profile=2 setting in cmdline.  It is due to 'sp' being incorrect in
profile_pc().

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000246
IP: [<c01288b6>] profile_pc+0x2a/0x48
*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP

This differs from the original version by Alex Shi in that we use the
kernel_stack_pointer() inline already defined in <asm/ptrace.h> for
this purpose, instead of #ifdef.

  Revert "Revert "ide: try to use PIO Mode 0 during probe if possible""
  sis5513: fix PIO setup for ATAPI devices

Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a
problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also
reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using
iwlagn.

It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get
checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic
timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other
wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible.

The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer
interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that:

 1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less

 2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because
    the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up.

I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the
original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported
success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec
range.

When a vmalloc'd area is mmap'd into userspace, some kind of
co-ordination is necessary for this to work on platforms with cpu
D-caches which can have aliases.

Otherwise kernel side writes won't be seen properly in userspace
and vice versa.

If the kernel side mapping and the user side one have the same
alignment, modulo SHMLBA, this can work as long as VM_SHARED is
shared of VMA and for all current users this is true.  VM_SHARED
will force SHMLBA alignment of the user side mmap on platforms with
D-cache aliasing matters.

The bulk of this patch is just making it so that a specific
alignment can be passed down into __get_vm_area_node().  All
existing callers pass in '1' which preserves existing behavior.
vmalloc_user() gives SHMLBA for the alignment.

As a side effect this should get the video media drivers and other
vmalloc_user() users into more working shape on such systems.

Update documentation of cgroups tasks and procs files

Document the cgroup.procs file.

Clarify the semantics of the cgroup.procs and tasks files.  Although the
current cgroup.procs interface returns a sorted and uniqified list of
pids, potential future performance enhancements could result in those
properties being removed - explicitly document this aspect of the API.

There are no existing users of cgroup.procs, so compatibility isn't an
issue.  There are users of the "tasks" file, but none that would appear to
break in the event of the sorted property being broken.  The standard
"libcpuset" explicitly sorts the results of reading from the tasks file,
and "libcg" and other users don't appear to care about ordering.

Adjust the max_kernel_pages default to a quarter of totalram_pages,
instead of nr_free_buffer_pages() / 4: the KSM pages themselves come from
highmem, and even on a 16GB PAE machine, 4GB of KSM pages would only be
pinning 32MB of lowmem with their rmap_items, so no need for the more
obscure calculation (nor for its own special init function).

There is no way for the user to switch KSM on if CONFIG_SYSFS is not
enabled, so in that case default run to KSM_RUN_MERGE.

Update KSM Documentation and Kconfig to reflect the new defaults.
