Impact: Optimization
One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously
there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased.
The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain
set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can
use those registers without restriction. This includes the function
argument registers, and several others.
This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper
thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the
callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can
be conventional compiler-generated code. In many cases (particularly
performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway,
and need not use the compiler's calling convention.
Standard calling convention is:
arguments return scratch
x86-32 eax edx ecx eax ?
x86-64 rdi rsi rdx rcx rax r8 r9 r10 r11
The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers. The return
register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for
unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value).
Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct
paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the
compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used.
The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are
interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first. This is
particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway.
XXX Deal with VMI. What's their calling convention?

Each asm paravirt-ops call says what registers are available for
clobbering. This patch makes use of this to selectively save/restore
registers around each pvops call. In many cases this significantly
shrinks code size.

Impact: Fix latent bug
The clobber is trying to say that anything except RDI is available for
clobbering, but actually clobbers everything. This hasn't mattered
because the clobbers were basically ignored, but subsequent patches
will rely on them.

Impact: Optimization
Several paravirt ops implementations simply return their arguments,
the most obvious being the make_pte/pte_val class of operations on
native.
On 32-bit, the identity function is literally a no-op, as the calling
convention uses the same registers for the first argument and return.
On 64-bit, it can be implemented with a single "mov".
This patch adds special identity functions for 32 and 64 bit argument,
and machinery to recognize them and replace them with either nops or a
mov as appropriate.
At the moment, the only users for the identity functions are the
pagetable entry conversion functions.
The result is a measureable improvement on pagetable-heavy benchmarks
(2-3%, reducing the pvops overhead from 5 to 2%).

Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches
already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances. That has the
advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous
default behavior.
Allowing top 4% of low memory (per user) to be allocated in epoll watches,
we have:
LOMEM MAX_WATCHES (per user)
512MB ~178000
1GB ~356000
2GB ~712000
A box with 512MB of lomem, will meet some challenge in hitting 180K
watches, socket buffers math teaches us. No more max_user_instances
limits then.

function which takes __FILE__ and __LINE__ as arguments. This violates
asm constrains there ("i" - an immediate operand with constant value), so
that compile may result in warning or error, depending on compiler
version.
Just adding an infinite loop to the BUG() is sufficient.

The lifetime of struct cgroup and struct mem_cgroup is different and
mem_cgroup has its own reference count for handling references from
swap_cgroup.
This causes strange problem that the parent mem_cgroup dies while child
mem_cgroup alive, and this problem causes a bug in case of
use_hierarchy==1 because res_counter_uncharge climbs up the tree.
This patch is for avoiding it by getting the parent at create, and putting
it at freeing.

As of commit ba470de431 ("map: handle
mlocked pages during map, remap, unmap") we now use the 'vma' variable
at the end of mmap_region() to handle the page-in of newly mapped
mlocked pages.
However, if we merged adjacent vma's together, the vma we're using may
be stale. We historically consciously avoided using it after the merge
operation, but that got overlooked when redoing the locked page
handling.
This commit simplifies mmap_region() by doing any vma merges early,
avoiding the issue entirely, and 'vma' will always be valid. As pointed
out by Hugh Dickins, this depends on any drivers that change the page
offset of flags to have set one of the VM_SPECIAL bits (so that they
cannot trigger the early merge logic), but that's true in general.

According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294391
- 3rd generation iPods need the "fix capacity" workaround after all
(apparently they crash after the last sector was accessed),
- 2nd generation iPods need the "128 kB maximum request size"
workaround.
Alas both iPod generations feature the same model ID in the config ROM,
hence we can only define a shared quirks list entry for them. Luckily
the fix capacity workaround did not show a negative effect in Jarod's
tests with 2nd gen. iPod.
A side note: Apple computers in target mode (or at least an x86 Mac
mini) don't have firmware_version and model_id, hence none of the iPod
quirks list entries is active for them.
