Implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator as a fallback to
the embedding allocator. The next patch will make the embedding
allocator check distances between units to determine whether it fits
within the vmalloc area so that this fallback can be used on such
cases.
sparc64 currently has relatively small vmalloc area which makes it
impossible to create any dynamic chunks on certain configurations
leading to percpu allocation failures. This and the next patch should
allow those configurations to keep working until proper solution is
found.
While at it, mark pcpu_cpu_distance() with __init.

ia64's sim_defconfig uses CONFIG_ACPI=n

This build failure triggers:
In file included from include/linux/suspend.h:8,
from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets_32.c:11,
from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:2:
include/linux/mm.h:503:2: error: #error SECTIONS_WIDTH+NODES_WIDTH+ZONES_WIDTH > BITS_PER_LONG - NR_PAGEFLAGS
Because due to the hwpoison page flag we ran out of page
flags on 32-bit.
Dont turn on hwpoison on 32-bit NUMA (it's rare in any
case).
Also clean up the Kconfig dependencies in the generic MM
code by introducing ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE.

Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks
for X86 (See commit 314cdbefd1fd0a7acf3780e9628465b77ea6a836).
IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the
available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction
that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use
a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values.
Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous
implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the
contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in
the noise.

Also, some explicit ALIGN(8)'s between various initcall sections were

initcall_t was already 8.

alpha is the only architecture that uses the section name
.data.init_thread instead of .data.init_task. So convert alpha to use
.data.init_task like everything else.
.data.init_task does not need a separate output section; this change
also moves it into the .data output section.

This patch has the (likely harmless) side effect of moving
.data.init_task inside the _edata.
It also changes the alignment of .data.init_task from 16384 to
THREAD_SIZE, which can in some configurations be larger than 16384. I
believe that this change fixes a potential bug on those
configurations.

In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a
multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a
TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call. It will still be send to the
whole process of which that thread is part.
Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX.
The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with
perf-counters. Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is
available. If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the
new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space
state right after it returns from the kernel. This is esp. convenient
for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments.
Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex
as argument:
struct f_owner_ex {
int type;
pid_t pid;
};
Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.
