f84d49b218 signal: Print warning message when dropping signals
When the system has too many timers or too many aggregate
queued signals, the EAGAIN error is returned to application
from kernel, including timer_create() [POSIX.1b].

It means that the app exceeded the limit of pending signals,
but in general application writers do not expect this
outcome and the current silent failure can cause rare app
failures under very high load.

This patch adds a new message when we reach the limit
and if print_fatal_signals is enabled:

    task/1234: reached RLIMIT_SIGPENDING, dropping signal

If you see this message and your system behaved unexpectedly,
you can run following command to lift the limit:

   # ulimit -i unlimited

f86dcc5aa8 udp: dynamically size hash tables at boot time
UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for
several setups.

4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An
incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long
chains hurt latency.

Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every
needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip
route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper

Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can
force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and
rhash_entries.

dmesg logs two new lines :
[    0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
[    0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)

Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non
debugging spinlocks.

ea3acb199a x86: earlyprintk: Fix regression to handle serial,ttySn as 1 arg
Commit c953094 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console")
introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel
arguments.

If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel
argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument
and not as "serial" and then "ttyS".

Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS
directly without the "serial" argument.

3209e70e5e MIPS: Loongson: Add a machtype kernel command line argument
The difference between some loongson-based machines is very small, so, if
there is no necessary to add new kernel config options to cope with this
difference, it will be better to share the same kernel image file between
them, benefit from this, the linux distribution developers only have a need
to compile the kernel one time.

This machtype kernel command line argument will be used later to share the
same kernel image file between two different machines(menglong & yeeloong)
made by lemote.

Thanks very much to Zhang Le for cleaning up the machtype implementation.

1e1030dccb sh: nmi_debug support.
This implements support for NMI debugging that was shamelessly copied
from the avr32 port. A bit of special magic is needed in the interrupt
exception path given that the NMI exception handler is stubbed in to the
regular exception handling table despite being reported in INTEVT. So we
mangle the lookup and kick off an EXPEVT-style exception dispatch from
the INTEVT path for exceptions that do_IRQ() has no chance of handling.
As a result, we also drop the evt2irq() conversion from the do_IRQ() path
and just do it in assembly.

e571cbf1a4 NFS: Add a dns resolver for use with NFSv4 referrals and migration
The NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 protocols both allow for the redirection of a client
from one server to another in order to support filesystem migration and
replication. For full protocol support, we need to add the ability to
convert a DNS host name into an IP address that we can feed to the RPC
client.

We'll reuse the sunrpc cache, now that it has been converted to work with
rpc_pipefs.

f58dc01ba2 percpu: generalize first chunk allocator selection
Now that all first chunk allocators are in mm/percpu.c, it makes sense
to make generalize percpu_alloc kernel parameter.  Define PCPU_FC_*
and set pcpu_chosen_fc using early_param() in mm/percpu.c.  Arch code
can use the set value to determine which first chunk allocator to use.

Some PHYs require longer timeouts for carrier detection, and
auto-negotiation process may take indefinite amount of time.

It may be inconvenient to force longer timeouts for sane PHYs,
so let's introduce a kernel command line option.

Since we're using module_param(), the option also can be
changed in runtime.

fa8a7094ba x86: implement percpu_alloc kernel parameter
According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the
trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than
PTE TLB.  The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual
size of percpu area and specific processor.  As performance
degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific
and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more
data.

This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting
which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing.

While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something
failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working.  Also,
kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized
quite some time ago.

[ Impact: allow explicit percpu first chunk allocator selection ]

2521f2c228 gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel.  gcov may be useful for:

 * debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
 * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
 * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
   associated code is never run?)

The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:

 * change kbuild to include profiling flags
 * provide functions needed by profiling code
 * present profiling data as files in debugfs

Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.

For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

f324edc85e console: make blank timeout value a boot option
The console blank timer is currently hardcoded to 10*60 seconds which
might be annoying on systems with no input devices attached to wake up the
console again.  Especially during development, disabling the screen saver
can be handy - for example when debugging the root fs mount mechanism or
other scenarios where no userspace program could be started to do that at
runtime from userspace.

This patch defines a core_param for the variable in charge which allows
users to entirely disable the blank feature at boot time by setting it 0.
The value can still be overwritten at runtime using the standard ioctl
call - this just allows to conditionally change the default.

43c1640884 PCI: Add support for turning PCIe ECRC on or off
Adds support for PCI Express transaction layer end-to-end CRC checking
(ECRC).  This patch will enable/disable ECRC checking by setting/clearing
the ECRC Check Enable and/or ECRC Generation Enable bits for devices that
support ECRC.

The ECRC setting is controlled by the "pci=ecrc=<policy>" command-line
option. If this option is not set or is set to 'bios", the enable and
generation bits are left in whatever state that firmware/BIOS set them to.
The "off" setting turns them off, and the "on" option turns them on (if the
device supports it).

Turning ECRC on or off can be a data integrity versus performance
tradeoff.  In theory, turning it on will catch more data errors, turning
it off means possibly better performance since CRC does not need to be
calculated by the PCIe hardware and packet sizes are reduced.

075affcbe0 ide: preserve Host Protected Area by default (v2)
From the perspective of most users of recent systems, disabling Host
Protected Area (HPA) can break vendor RAID formats, GPT partitions and
risks corrupting firmware or overwriting vendor system recovery tools.

Unfortunately the original (kernels < 2.6.30) behavior (unconditionally
disabling HPA and using full disk capacity) was introduced at the time
when the main use of HPA was to make the drive look small enough for the
BIOS to allow the system to boot with large capacity drives.

Thus to allow the maximum compatibility with the existing setups (using
HPA and partitioned with HPA disabled) we automically disable HPA if
any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.  Additionally HPA can also
be disabled using the "nohpa" module parameter (i.e. "ide_core.nohpa=0.0"
to disable HPA on /dev/hda).

v2:
Fix ->resume HPA support.

While at it:
- remove stale "idebus=" entry from Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

2af15d6a44 ftrace: add kernel command line function filtering
When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions
on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called.

This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands.

  ftrace_notrace=function-list
  ftrace_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.
The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included
in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions
listed.

These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and
debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively.

The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also
be used by the command line interface.

	ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin*

Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has
the word spin in it.

Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering
set by the command lines.

5789ba3bd0 IMA: Minimal IMA policy and boot param for TCB IMA policy
The IMA TCB policy is dangerous.  A normal use can use all of a system's
memory (which cannot be freed) simply by building and running lots of
executables.  The TCB policy is also nearly useless because logging in as root
often causes a policy violation when dealing with utmp, thus rendering the
measurements meaningless.

There is no good fix for this in the kernel.  A full TCB policy would need to
be loaded in userspace using LSM rule matching to get both a protected and
useful system.  But, if too little is measured before userspace can load a real
policy one again ends up with a meaningless set of measurements.  One option
would be to put the policy load inside the initrd in order to get it early
enough in the boot sequence to be useful, but this runs into trouble with the
LSM.  For IMA to measure the LSM policy and the LSM policy loading mechanism
it needs rules to do so, but we already talked about problems with defaulting
to such broad rules....

IMA also depends on the files being measured to be on an FS which implements
and supports i_version.  Since the only FS with this support (ext4) doesn't
even use it by default it seems silly to have any IMA rules by default.

This should reduce the performance overhead of IMA to near 0 while still
letting users who choose to configure their machine as such to inclue the
ima_tcb kernel paramenter and get measurements during boot before they can
load a customized, reasonable policy in userspace.

14f966e794 powerpc/pseries: CMO unused page hinting
Adds support for the "unused" page hint which can be used in shared
memory partitions to flag pages not in use, which will then be stolen
before active pages by the hypervisor when memory needs to be moved to
LPARs in need of additional memory.  Failure to mark pages as 'unused'
makes the LPAR slower to give up unused memory to other partitions.

This adds the kernel parameter 'cmo_free_hint' to disable this
functionality.

This re-adds the force_arch_perfmon option that was in the original
arch perfmon patchkit. Originally this was rejected in favour
of a generalized perfmon=name option, but it turned out implementing
the later in a reliable way is hard (and it would have been easy
to crash the kernel if a user gets it wrong)

But now Atom and Core i7 support being readded a user would
need to update their oprofile userland to beyond 0.9.4 to use oprofile again
on Atom or Core i7.

To avoid this problem readd the force_arch_perfmon option.

4ed0d3e6c6 Intel IOMMU Pass Through Support
The patch adds kernel parameter intel_iommu=pt to set up pass through
mode in context mapping entry. This disables DMAR in linux kernel; but
KVM still runs on VT-d and interrupt remapping still works.

In this mode, kernel uses swiotlb for DMA API functions but other VT-d
functionalities are enabled for KVM. KVM always uses multi level
translation page table in VT-d. By default, pass though mode is disabled
in kernel.

This is useful when people don't want to enable VT-d DMAR in kernel but
still want to use KVM and interrupt remapping for reasons like DMAR
performance concern or debug purpose.
