The Intel 7300 Memory Controller supports dynamic throttling of memory which can
be used to save power when system is idle. This driver does the memory
throttling when all CPUs are idle on such a system.

This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework.  It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.

The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state.  Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup.  Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.  Reading will return the current state.

* Examples of usage :

   # mkdir /containers/freezer
   # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer  /containers
   # mkdir /containers/0
   # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks

to get status of the freezer subsystem :

   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

to freeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FREEZING
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FROZEN

to unfreeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.

It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete.  In that case we
return EBUSY.  This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time.  After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read.  The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:

	1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
		the freezer.state file
	2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
		the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
		and returns EIO)
	3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
		state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

x86: allow number of additional hotplug CPUs to be set at compile time, V2

The default number of additional CPU IDs for hotplugging is determined
by asking ACPI or mptables how many "disabled" CPUs there are in the
system, but many systems get this wrong so that e.g. a uniprocessor
machine gets an extra CPU allocated and never switches to single CPU
mode.

And sometimes CPU hotplugging is enabled only for suspend/hibernate
anyway, so the additional CPU IDs are not wanted. Allow the number
to be set to zero at compile time.

Also, force the number of extra CPUs to zero if hotplugging is disabled
which allows removing some conditional code.

Tested on uniprocessor x86_64 that ACPI claims has a disabled processor,
with CPU hotplugging configured.

("After" has the number of additional CPUs set to 0)
Before: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 2, nr_node_ids 1
After: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 1, nr_node_ids 1

Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems.
Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this,
so we try to be robust by default.

Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K
of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via
CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n.

Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other

 - Clears the reserved memory so we can observe changes to it.

This fixes a regression that was indirectly caused by commit
1184dc2f ("x86: modify Kconfig to allow
up to 4096 cpus").

Allowing 4k CPU's is not practical at this time, because we still have a
number of places that have several 'cpumask_t's on the stack, and a
4k-bit cpumask is 512 bytes of stack-space for each such variable.  This
literally caused functions like 'smp_call_function_mask' to have a 2.5kB
stack frame, and several functions to have 2kB stackframes.

With an 8kB stack total, smashing the stack was simply much too likely.
At least bugzilla entry

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11342

was due to this.

The earlier commit to not inline load_module() into sys_init_module()
fixed the particular symptoms of this that Alan Brunelle saw in that
bugzilla entry, but the huge stack waste by cpumask_t's was the more
direct cause.

Some day we'll have allocation helpers that allocate large CPU masks
dynamically, but in the meantime we simply cannot allow cpumasks this
large.

OK. This version changes absolutely nothing if CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not

Implement get_user_pages_fast without locking in the fastpath on x86.

Do an optimistic lockless pagetable walk, without taking mmap_sem or any
page table locks or even mmap_sem.  Page table existence is guaranteed by
turning interrupts off (combined with the fact that we're always looking
up the current mm, means we can do the lockless page table walk within the
constraints of the TLB shootdown design).  Basically we can do this
lockless pagetable walk in a similar manner to the way the CPU's pagetable
walker does not have to take any locks to find present ptes.

This patch (combined with the subsequent ones to convert direct IO to use
it) was found to give about 10% performance improvement on a 2 socket 8
core Intel Xeon system running an OLTP workload on DB2 v9.5

 "To test the effects of the patch, an OLTP workload was run on an IBM
  x3850 M2 server with 2 processors (quad-core Intel Xeon processors at
  2.93 GHz) using IBM DB2 v9.5 running Linux 2.6.24rc7 kernel.  Comparing
  runs with and without the patch resulted in an overall performance
  benefit of ~9.8%.  Correspondingly, oprofiles showed that samples from
  __up_read and __down_read routines that is seen during thread contention
  for system resources was reduced from 2.8% down to .05%.  Monitoring the
  /proc/vmstat output from the patched run showed that the counter for
  fast_gup contained a very high number while the fast_gup_slow value was
  zero."

(fast_gup is the old name for get_user_pages_fast, fast_gup_slow is a
counter we had for the number of times the slowpath was invoked).

The main reason for the improvement is that DB2 has multiple threads each
issuing direct-IO.  Direct-IO uses get_user_pages, and thus the threads
contend the mmap_sem cacheline, and can also contend on page table locks.

I would anticipate larger performance gains on larger systems, however I
think DB2 uses an adaptive mix of threads and processes, so it could be
that thread contention remains pretty constant as machine size increases.
In which case, we stuck with "only" a 10% gain.

The downside of using get_user_pages_fast is that if there is not a pte
with the correct permissions for the access, we end up falling back to
get_user_pages and so the get_user_pages_fast is a bit of extra work.
However this should not be the common case in most performance critical
code.
