This patch updates and fixes sys_tas() routine for m32r.

In the previous implementation, a lockup rarely caused at sys_tas()
routine in SMP environment.

I rewrote sys_tas() routine by using "lock -> unlock" instructions, and
utilizing the m32r's interrupt handling characteristics; the m32r processor
can accept interrupts only at the 32-bit instruction boundary.  So, the
"unlock" instruction can be executed continuously after the "lock"
instruction execution without any interruptions.

In addition, to solve such a page_fault problem, I use a fixup code like
get_user().

And, as for the kernel lockup problem, we found that a calling
do_page_fault() routine with disabling interrupts might cause a lockup at
flush_tlb_others(), because we checked a completion of IPI handler's
operations in a spin-locked critical section.

Therefore, by using "lock -> unlock" code, we can implement the sys_tas()
rouitine without disabling interrupts explicitly, then no lockups would
happen at flush_tlb_others(), I hope.

Compile check and some working test in SMP environment have done.

Using FCP devices with V=V support, the input queue stalled when CCQ 97 had

Another bug was when V=V was enabled we checked if hardware has SIGA-sync
support.  If not we returned with 0 from tiqdio_is_inbound_q_done.  Thus qdio
lost initiative on FCP devices and input queue stalled.  Running devices in

Currently, acpi video options can only be set on kernel command line.  That's

modifying kernel command line according to whitelist is not fun.  It is better
to just allow s2ram application to set video options just before suspend
(according to the whitelist).

This implements sysctl to allow setting suspend video options without reboot.

Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory
policies or cpuset constraints).  If the page allocator is not able to find
enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low.

In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes
is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the
whole system coming down).

It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the
constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has
placed on the allocation behavior.  The process may be killed but then the
sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation.  The solution is
similar to what we do when running out of hugepages.

This patch adds a check before we kill processes.  At that point
performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist
and reconstruct a list of nodes.  If the list of nodes does not contain all
online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the
current process.

In the badness() calculation, there's currently this piece of code:

        /*
         * Processes which fork a lot of child processes are likely
         * a good choice. We add the vmsize of the children if they
         * have an own mm. This prevents forking servers to flood the
         * machine with an endless amount of children
         */
        list_for_each(tsk, &p->children) {
                struct task_struct *chld;
                chld = list_entry(tsk, struct task_struct, sibling);
                if (chld->mm = p->mm && chld->mm)
                        points += chld->mm->total_vm;
        }

The intention is clear: If some server (apache) keeps spawning new children
and we run OOM, we want to kill the father rather than picking a child.

This -- to some degree -- also helps a bit with getting fork bombs under
control, though I'd consider this a desirable side-effect rather than a
feature.

There's one problem with this: No matter how many or few children there are,
if just one of them misbehaves, and all others (including the father) do
everything right, we still always kill the whole family.  This hits in real
life; whether it's javascript in konqueror resulting in kdeinit (and thus the
whole KDE session) being hit or just a classical server that spawns children.

Sidenote: The killer does kill all direct children as well, not only the
selected father, see oom_kill_process().

The idea in attached patch is that we do want to account the memory
consumption of the (direct) children to the father -- however not fully.
This maintains the property that fathers with too many children will still
very likely be picked, whereas a single misbehaving child has the chance to
be picked by the OOM killer.

In the patch I account only half (rounded up) of the children's vm_size to
the parent.  This means that if one child eats more mem than the rest of
the family, it will be picked, otherwise it's still the father and thus the
whole family that gets selected.

This is heuristics -- we could debate whether accounting for a fourth would
be better than for half of it.  Or -- if people would consider it worth the
trouble -- make it a sysctl.  For now I sticked to accounting for half,
which should IMHO be a significant improvement.

The patch does one more thing: As users tend to be irritated by the choice
of killed processes (mainly because the children are killed first, despite
some of them having a very low OOM score), I added some more output: The
selected (father) process will be reported first and it's oom_score printed
to syslog.

Description:

Only account for half of children's vm size in oom score calculation

This should still give the parent enough point in case of fork bombs.  If
any child however has more than 50% of the vm size of all children
together, it'll get a higher score and be elected.

This patch also makes the kernel display the oom_score.
