Add look-ahead support to __do_page_cache_readahead().

It works by
	- mark the Nth backwards page with PG_readahead,
	(which instructs the page's first reader to invoke readahead)
	- and only do the marking for newly allocated pages.
	(to prevent blindly doing readahead on already cached pages)

Look-ahead is a technique to achieve I/O pipelining:

While the application is working through a chunk of cached pages, the kernel
reads-ahead the next chunk of pages _before_ time of need.  It effectively
hides low level I/O latencies to high level applications.

Optimize show_stat to collect per-irq information just once.

On x86_64, with newer kernel versions, kstat_irqs is a bit of a problem.
On every call to kstat_irqs, the process brings in per-cpu data from all
online cpus.  Doing this for NR_IRQS, which is now 256 + 32 * NR_CPUS
results in (256+32*63) * 63 remote cpu references on a 64 cpu config.
Considering the fact that we already compute this value per-cpu, we can

At present, if a user mode helper is running while
usermodehelper_pm_callback() is executed, the helper may be frozen and the
completion in call_usermodehelper_exec() won't be completed until user
space processes are thawed.  As a result, the freezing of kernel threads
may fail, which is not desirable.

Prevent this from happening by introducing a counter of running user mode
helpers and allowing usermodehelper_pm_callback() to succeed for action =
PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE or action = PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE only if there are no
helpers running.  [Namely, usermodehelper_pm_callback() waits for at most
RUNNING_HELPERS_TIMEOUT for the number of running helpers to become zero
and fails if that doesn't happen.]

Kernel threads should not have TIF_FREEZE set when user space processes are
being frozen, since otherwise some of them might be frozen prematurely.
To prevent this from happening we can (1) make exit_mm() unset TIF_FREEZE
unconditionally just after clearing tsk->mm and (2) make try_to_freeze_tasks()
check if p->mm is different from zero and PF_BORROWED_MM is unset in p->flags
when user space processes are to be frozen.

Namely, when user space processes are being frozen, we only should set
TIF_FREEZE for tasks that have p->mm different from NULL and don't have
PF_BORROWED_MM set in p->flags.  For this reason task_lock() must be used to
prevent try_to_freeze_tasks() from racing with use_mm()/unuse_mm(), in which
p->mm and p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM are changed under task_lock(p).  Also, we
need to prevent the following scenario from happening:

* daemonize() is called by a task spawned from a user space code path
* freezer checks if the task has p->mm set and the result is positive
* task enters exit_mm() and clears its TIF_FREEZE
* freezer sets TIF_FREEZE for the task
* task calls try_to_freeze() and goes to the refrigerator, which is wrong at
  that point

This requires us to acquire task_lock(p) before p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM and
p->mm are examined and release it after TIF_FREEZE is set for p (or it turns
out that TIF_FREEZE should not be set).

During hibernation we call hibernation_ops->prepare() before creating the image,

Change the code ordering so that hibernation_ops->prepare() is called after
device_suspend().  This is needed so that we don't violate the ACPI
specification, which states that the _PTS and _GTS system-control methods,
executed from acpi_sleep_prepare(), ought to be called after devices have been
put in low power states.

The "Finish" label in hibernation_restore() is moved, because device_suspend()
resumes devices if the suspending of them fails and the restore code ordering
should reflect the hibernation code ordering.

At least on some machines it is necessary to prepare the ACPI firmware for the
restoration of the system memory state from the hibernation image if the
"platform" mode of hibernation has been used.  Namely, in that cases we need
to disable the GPEs before replacing the "boot" kernel with the "frozen"
kernel (cf.  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7887).  After the
restore they will be re-enabled by hibernation_ops->finish(), but if the
restore fails, they have to be re-enabled by the restore code explicitly.

For this purpose we can introduce two additional hibernation operations,
called pre_restore() and restore_cleanup() and call them from the restore code
path.  Still, they should be called if the "platform" mode of hibernation has
been used, so we need to pass the information about the hibernation mode from
the "frozen" kernel to the "boot" kernel in the image header.

Apparently, we can't drop the disabling of GPEs before the restore because of
Bug #7887 .   We also can't do it unconditionally, because the GPEs wouldn't
have been enabled after a successful restore if the suspend had been done in
the 'shutdown' or 'reboot' mode.

In principle we could (and probably should) unconditionally disable the GPEs
before each snapshot creation *and* before the restore, but then we'd have to
unconditionally enable them after the snapshot creation as well as after the
restore (or restore failure)   Still, for this purpose we'd need to modify
acpi_enter_sleep_state_prep() and acpi_leave_sleep_state() and we'd have to
introduce some mechanism synchronizing the disablind/enabling of the GPEs with
the device drivers' .suspend()/.resume() routines and with
disable_/enable_nonboot_cpus().   However, this would have affected the
suspend (ie.  s2ram) code as well as the hibernation, which I'd like to avoid
in this patch series.

In the face of the recent change of suspend code ordering (cf.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=117938245931603&w=2) we should also modify
the code ordering in swsusp so that hibernation_ops->prepare() is executed
after device_suspend().

However, for this purpose it seems reasonable to eliminate the code
duplication between kernel/power/disk.c and kernel/power/user.c first.  By
eliminating it we can reduce the size of user.c quite substantially and remove
the maintenance difficulty with making essentially the same changes in two
different places.

Moreover, we should also remove the calls to "platform" functions from the
restore code path, since it doesn't carry out any power transition of the
system, but we generally need to disable the GPEs before the restore if the
'platform' hibernation mode has been used.  To do this, we can introduce two
new hibernation_ops to be used in the restore code.

This patch:

Make the code hibernation code in kernel/power/user.c be functionally
equivalent to the corresponding code in kernel/power/disk.c , as it should be.

The calls to the platform functions removed by this patch are incorrect.  They
should be replaced with some other "platform" invocations that will be
introduced in one of the subsequent patches.

page_mkclean() doesn't re-protect ptes for non-linear mappings, so a later
re-dirty through such a mapping will not generate a fault, PG_dirty will
not reflect the dirty state and the dirty count will be skewed.  This
implies that msync() is also currently broken for nonlinear mappings.

The easiest solution is to emulate remap_file_pages on non-linear mappings
with simple mmap() for non ram-backed filesystems.  Applications continue
to work (albeit slower), as long as the number of remappings remain below
the maximum vma count.

However all currently known real uses of non-linear mappings are for ram
backed filesystems, which this patch doesn't affect.

Change ->fault prototype.  We now return an int, which contains
VM_FAULT_xxx code in the low byte, and FAULT_RET_xxx code in the next byte.
 FAULT_RET_ code tells the VM whether a page was found, whether it has been
locked, and potentially other things.  This is not quite the way he wanted
it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to
arch code).

This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
going to do that anyway.

struct fault_data is renamed to struct vm_fault as Linus asked. address
is now a void __user * that we should firmly encourage drivers not to use
without really good reason.

The page is now returned via a page pointer in the vm_fault struct.

The locking in particular is a bit tricky, so it's worth having this in
writing.

__do_fault() was calling ->page_mkwrite() with the page lock held, which
violates the locking rules for that callback.  Release and retake the page
lock around the callback to avoid deadlocking file systems which manually
take it.

Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.

->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping.  The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie.  pgoff).
 But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).

Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.

This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn.  Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.

The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.

After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache.  Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.

NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed.  This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page.

Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from
pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page.

The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page,
before it can be discarded from the pagecache.  Between shooting down ptes to
a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache,
do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new
mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache.

The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation.
This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the
file's i_size, and its truncate_count.

Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before
unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the
page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page
table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl
will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated
truncate_count is actually visible).

Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the
case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size.  do_no_page
can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in
progress (as it is when it is outside i_size).  The end result is that
dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file
may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data.  Valid mappings to the same
place will see a different page.

Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using
a page->flags bit.  He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but
that was initially considered too heavyweight.  However, it is not a global or
per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment
_count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large
performance hit.  Scalability is not an issue.

This patch implements this latter approach.  ->nopage implementations return
with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be
invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate
so).  do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping
completely.  invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during
invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while
holding the lock).

This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have
the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.
