add extra free kbytes tunable

Add a userspace visible knob to tell the VM to keep an extra amount
of memory free, by increasing the gap between each zone's min and
low watermarks.

This is useful for realtime applications that call system
calls and have a bound on the number of allocations that happen
in any short time period.  In this application, extra_free_kbytes
would be left at an amount equal to or larger than than the
maximum number of allocations that happen in any burst.

It may also be useful to reduce the memory use of virtual
machines (temporarily?), in a way that does not cause memory
fragmentation like ballooning does.

[ccross]
Revived for use on old kernels where no other solution exists.
The tunable will be removed on kernels that do better at avoiding
direct reclaim.

SELinux: include definition of new capabilities

ALSA: pcm: check for integer overflow during multiplication

Channel info data structure is parsed from userspace and if
user does not set the no. of channels correctly, it could lead
to security vulnerability if we don't check for overflow when the
no. of channels is multiplied with pcm bit width. Add a condition
to check for overflow during multiplication.

softirq: reduce latencies

Date	Thu, 03 Jan 2013 23:49:40 -0800

In various network workloads, __do_softirq() latencies can be up
to 20 ms if HZ=1000, and 200 ms if HZ=100.

This is because we iterate 10 times in the softirq dispatcher,
and some actions can consume a lot of cycles.

This patch changes the fallback to ksoftirqd condition to :

- A time limit of 2 ms.
- need_resched() being set on current task

When one of this condition is met, we wakeup ksoftirqd for further
softirq processing if we still have pending softirqs.

Using need_resched() as the only condition can trigger RCU stalls,
as we can keep BH disabled for too long.

I ran several benchmarks and got no significant difference in
throughput, but a very significant reduction of latencies (one order
of magnitude) :

In following bench, 200 antagonist "netperf -t TCP_RR" are started in
background, using all available cpus.

Then we start one "netperf -t TCP_RR", bound to the cpu handling the NIC
IRQ (hard+soft)

fs: vfat: reduce the worst case latencies

When a block partition is mounted with FAT file system
and MS_DIRSYNC option is used, some file system operations
like create, rename shall sleep in caller's context until
all the metadata have been committed to the non-volatile memory.
Since this operation is blocking call for user context,
the WRITE_SYNC option must be used instead of WRITE
(async operation) which incur inherent latencies while
flushing the meta-data corresponding to directory entries

Do the multiplications and divisions at compile time
instead of runtime when the converted value is a constant.

Make the calculation functions static __always_inline to jiffies.h.

Add #defines with __builtin_constant_p to test and use the

Also fixes memory leak issue by adding data_len check in check_params.
One of the scenarios data_len can be less than byteoffset which results
in memory leak with huge data length, which might cause the kernel panic.

 mm: Optimized SLUB memory allocator
CK3 tweaks (Credits to Con Kolivas)

* mm-enable_swaptoken_only_when_swap_full.patch:
  The swap token is only useful in conditions of swap thrash, and actually
  worsens the common case by causing more swapping. Make it only have an effect
  when swap is more than half full.

* mm-drop_swap_cache_aggressively.patch:
  While it may be nice to have a copy of pages on swap once written there, the
  more garbage we leave in the swapspace the slower any further writes and
  reads to and from it are. Just free swapcache whenever we can.

* mm-kswapd_inherit_prio-1.patch:
  When kswapd is awoken due to reclaim by a running task, set the priority of
  kswapd to that of the calling task thus making memory reclaim cpu activity
  affected by nice level.

* hz-default_1000.patch:
  Set default HZ to 1000 which is what most desktop users should still be using.

* hz-no_default_250.patch:
  Make 250HZ not be the default to discourage desktop users from choosing this
  option since 1000 will provide better latencies with only miniscule amounts
  of extra overhead and power consumption.

* preempt-desktop-tune.patch:
  Enable preempt by default and make people steer away from voluntary.
