Impact: pack struct thread_info more tightly
Change x86_64's thread_info 'flags' field back to __u32.
This was changed to 'unsigned long' when the thread_info*.h
for i386 and x86_64 were merged. Change it back. We can
do this as only 27 bits of 'flags' are actually used.
This change actually packs down thread_info by 64 bits:
32 bits are saved by the smaller flags, and 32 bits are
saved by the following 'mm_segment_t field' becoming
naturally 64-bit aligned.

This eliminates the following often-generated warning from my 64 bit
Opteron SMP test stand:
eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq
According to the web, the problem is that the forcedeth driver has a
too-low value for max_interrupt_work. Grepping the kernel I see that
forcedeth has the second lowest value of all ethernet drivers (ie, 6).
Most are in the 20-40 range. So this patch increases this a bit, from 6
to 15 (at 15 forcedeth becomes the driver with third-lowest
max_interrupt_work value).
My test stand, which used to print out the above warnings repetitively
whenever it was under heavy net load, no longer does so.

The bug has something to do with setting m->version before all the
seq_printf's have been performed. show_map was doing this correctly,
but show_smap was doing this in the middle of its seq_printf sequence.
This patch arranges things so that the setting of m->version in show_smap
is also done at the end of its seq_printf sequence.
Testing: in addition to the above grep test, for each process I summed
up the 'Rss' fields of /proc/pid/smaps and compared that to the 'VmRSS'
field of /proc/pid/status. All matched except for Xorg (which has a
/dev/mem mapping which Rss accounts for but VmRSS does not). This result
gives us some confidence that neither /proc/pid/maps nor /proc/pid/smaps
are any longer skipping or double-counting vmas.

Increase the range of various posix message queue limits.
Posix gives the message queue user the ability to 'trade off' the maximum
size of messages with the number of possible messages that can be 'in
flight'. Linux currently makes this trade off more restrictive than it
needs to be.
In particular, the maximum message size today can be made no smaller than
8192. This greatly restricts those applications that would like to have
the ability to post large numbers of very small messages.
So this task lowers the limit that the maximum message size can be set to,
from 8192 to 128. It also lowers the limit that the maximum #number of
messages in flight can be set to, from 10 to 1.
With these changes the message queue user can make better trade offs
between #messages and message size, in order to get everything to fit
within the setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE) limit for that particular user.
This patch also applies the values in
/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max
/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max
as the defaults for the max #messages allowed and the max message size
allowed, respectively, for those applications that do not supply these.
Previously, the defaults were hardwired to 10 and 8192, respectively.

Make poll_idle() behave more like the other idle methods.
Currently, poll_idle() returns immediately. The other
idle methods all wait indefinately for some condition
to come true before returning. poll_idle should emulate
these other methods and also wait for a return condition,
in this case, for need_resched() to become 'true'.
Without this delay the idle loop spends all of its time
in the outer loop that calls poll_idle. This outer loop,
these days, does real work, some of it under rcu locks.
That work should only be done when idle is entered and
when idle exits, not continuously while idle is spinning.

Fix rounding error in /proc/lock_stat numerical output.
On occasion the two digit fractional part contains the three
digit value '100'. This is due to a bug in the rounding algorithm
which pushes values in the range '95..99' to '100' rather than
to '00' + an increment to the integer part. For example,

NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix
The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill)
is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what
numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq
block that it inherited from its caller. As a result
those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the
process to another numa node occured while the irq block
had been dropped.
The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these
variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block.
The error is very difficult to hit. When it does occur,
one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in
check_spinlock_acquired:
kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417
cache_alloc_refill+0xe6
kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0

Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.
/proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.
This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
platforms, as appropriate:
rescheduling interrupts
TLB flush interrupts
function call interrupts
thermal event interrupts
threshold interrupts
spurious interrupts
A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency. Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.
Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip. IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.
A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC. Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from. For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.
Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS. Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.
AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.

Make baby-simple the code for /proc/devices. Based on the proven design
for /proc/interrupts.
This also fixes the early-termination regression 2.6.16 introduced, as
demonstrated by:
# dd if=/proc/devices bs=1
Character devices:
1 mem
27+0 records in
27+0 records out
This should also work (but is untested) when /proc/devices >4096 bytes,
which I believe is what the original 2.6.16 rewrite fixed.
