We now have SLAB support for kmemcheck! This means that it doesn't matter
whether one chooses SLAB or SLUB, or indeed whether Linus chooses to chuck
SLAB or SLUB.. ;-)

With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this:
1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of
each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or
uninitialized.
2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized.
There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and
"recently freed".
If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return
memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck.
If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still
request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page
faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being
initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object.
Parts of this patch were contributed by Pekka Enberg but merged for
atomicity.

The hooks that we modify are:
- Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults)
- Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping
the instruction that caused the page fault)
Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck
is enabled.
(Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault
handler.)

General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that
detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every
read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using
kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been
written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.
(Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.)

Rationale: kmemcheck needs to be able to schedule a tasklet without
touching any dynamically allocated memory _at_ _all_ (since that would
lead to a recursive page fault). This tasklet is used for writing the
error reports to the kernel log.
The new scheduling function avoids touching any other tasklets by
inserting the new tasklist as the head of the "tasklet_hi" list instead
of on the tail.
Also don't wake up the softirq thread lest the scheduler access some
tracked memory and we go down with a recursive page fault.
In this case, we'd better just wait for the maximum time of 1/HZ for the
message to appear.

This will help kmemcheck (and possibly other debugging tools) since we
can now simply pass regs->bp to the stack tracer instead of specifying
the number of stack frames to skip, which is unreliable if gcc decides
to inline functions, etc.
Note that this makes the API incomplete for other architectures, but I
expect that those can be updated lazily, e.g. when they need it.

Currently the low-level function to dump user-passed registers on i386 is
called __show_registers() whereas on x86-64 it's called __show_regs(). Unify
the API to simplify porting of kmemcheck to x86-64.

Ramtron FM3130 is a chip with two separate devices inside, RTC clock and
FRAM. This driver provides only RTC functionality.
This chip is met in lots of custom boards with AT91SAMXXXX CPU I work
with, is cheap and in no way better or worse than any other RTC on market.
While it is mostly met on much smaller devices, I think it is great to
have it supported in Linux.

More Kconfig tweaks related to the legacy PC RTC code:
- Describe the legacy PC RTC driver as such ... it's never quite
been clear that this driver is for PC RTCs, and now it's fair
to call this the "legacy" driver.
- Force it to understand about HPET stealing its IRQs ... kernel
code does this always when HPET is in use, there should be no
option for users to goof up the config.
This seems to fix kernel bugzilla #10729.

Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me. It
turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around
the parport_pc bugs. I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the
past, and now it have regressed.
The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC
when PNP is disabled. This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel
on an older PCs.

We shrink a radix tree when its root node has only one child, in the left
most slot. The child becomes the new root node. To perform this
operation in a manner compatible with concurrent lockless lookups, we
atomically switch the root pointer from the parent to its child.
However a concurrent lockless lookup may now have loaded a pointer to the
parent (and is presently deciding what to do next). For this reason, we
also have to keep the parent node in a valid state after shrinking the
tree, until the next RCU grace period -- otherwise this lookup with the
parent pointer may not do the right thing. Notably, we need to keep the
child in the left most slot there in case that is requested by the lookup.
This is all pretty standard RCU stuff. It is worth repeating because in
my eagerness to obey the radix tree node constructor scheme, I had broken
it by zeroing the radix tree node before the grace period.
What could happen is that a lookup can load the parent pointer, then
decide it wants to follow the left most child slot, only to find the slot
contained NULL due to the concurrent shrinker having zeroed the parent
node before waiting for a grace period. The lookup would return a false
negative as a result.
Fix it by doing that clearing in the RCU callback. I would normally want
to rip out the constructor entirely, but radix tree nodes are one of those
places where they make sense (only few cachelines will be touched soon
after allocation).
This was never actually found in any lockless pagecache testing or by the
test harness, but by seeing the odd problem with my scalable vmap rewrite.
I have not tickled the test harness into reproducing it yet, but I'll
keep working at it.
Fortunately, it is not a problem anywhere lockless pagecache is used in
mainline kernels (pagecache probe is not a guarantee, and brd does not
have concurrent lookups and deletes).

sysvipc_shm_proc_show() picks between format strings (based on the
expected maximum length of a SHM segment) in a way that prevents gcc from
performing format checks on the seq_printf() parameters. This hid two
format errors - shp->shm_segsz and shp->shm_nattach are both unsigned
long, but were being printed as unsigned int and signed int respectively.
This leads to 32-bit truncation of SHM segment sizes reported in
/proc/sysvipc/shm. (And for nattach, but that's less of a problem for
most users).
This patch makes the format string directly visible to gcc's format
specifier checker, and fixes the two broken format specifiers.
