staging: android: logger.h: Complete documentation of logger_entry

Previously, there were simply comments after each part - Now, it is
completed properly according to "Kernel doc" Sorry in advance if I made
any mistakes.

staging: android: logger: Allocate logs dynamically at boot (v3)

This changes the log initialization to be dynamic, but still
at boot time.  These changes are a predecessor to implementing
runtime allocation and freeing of logs, to make the Android logger
less hard-coded.

Change from a fixed set of static log structures, to allocation
at init time into a list.  Return proper error numbers on log
allocation failure.

Staging: Android: logger: module_exit implementation

This patch creates the module_exit for the android logger
so that it can be loaded and unloaded as a module.

The android logger is already declared as a tristate in the
Kconfig but the module_exit function was missing.

device_initcall works also with modprobe since include/linux/init.h:

 #define module_init(x)  __initcall(x);
 ...
 #define __initcall(fn) device_initcall(fn)

staging: android: logger: Correct write offset reset on error

In the situation that a writer fails to copy data from userspace it will reset
the write offset to the value it had before it went to sleep. This discarding
any messages written while aquiring the mutex.

Therefore the reset offset needs to be retrieved after acquiring the mutex.

earlysuspend: speedup late resume (faster wakeup of the device)

Thanx to _2bad4u_ for the hint and dsc-team's repo I got the code from (https://github.com/dsc-team/dsc-team-kernel-project)
mm: slub: Default slub_max_order to 0

To avoid locking and per-cpu overhead, SLUB optimisically uses
high-order allocations up to order-3 by default and falls back to
lower allocations if they fail. While care is taken that the caller
and kswapd take no unusual steps in response to this, there are
further consequences like shrinkers who have to free more objects to
release any memory. There is anecdotal evidence that significant time
is being spent looping in shrinkers with insufficient progress being
made (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/28/361) and keeping kswapd awake.

SLUB is now the default allocator and some bug reports have been
pinned down to SLUB using high orders during operations like
copying large amounts of data. SLUBs use of high-orders benefits
applications that are sized to memory appropriately but this does not
necessarily apply to large file servers or desktops.  This patch
causes SLUB to use order-0 pages like SLAB does by default.
There is further evidence that this keeps kswapd's usage lower
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/10/383).

binfmt_elf.c: use get_random_int() to fix entropy depleting

Changes:
--------
v4->v3:
- s/random_stack_user()/get_atrandom_bytes()/
- Move this function to ahead of its use to avoid the predeclaration.

v3->v2:
- Tweak code comments of random_stack_user().
- Remove redundant bits mask and shift upon the random variable.

v2->v1:
- Fix random copy to check up buffer length that are not 4-byte multiples.

v3 can be found at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg59597.html
v2 can be found at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg59418.html
v1 can be found at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg59128.html

Thanks,

Entropy is quickly depleted under normal operations like ls(1), cat(1),
etc...  between 2.6.30 to current mainline, for instance:

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
3428
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2911
$cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2620

We observed this problem has been occurring since 2.6.30 with
fs/binfmt_elf.c: create_elf_tables()->get_random_bytes(), introduced by
f06295b ("ELF: implement AT_RANDOM for glibc PRNG seeding").

/*
 * Generate 16 random bytes for userspace PRNG seeding.
 */
get_random_bytes(k_rand_bytes, sizeof(k_rand_bytes));

The patch introduces a wrapper around get_random_int() which has lower
overhead than calling get_random_bytes() directly.

With this patch applied:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2731
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2802
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2878

aio: fs: don't plug the I/O queue in do_io_submit()

Asynchronous I/O latency to a solid-state disk greatly increased between the 2.6.32 and 3.0 kernels.
By removing the plug from do_io_submit(), we observed a 34% improvement in the I/O latency.

Unfortunately, at this level, we don't know if the request is to
a rotating disk or not.
