Try to reduce overheads in moving swap charge by:
- Adds a new function(__mem_cgroup_put), which takes "count" as a arg and
decrement mem->refcnt by "count".
- Removed res_counter_uncharge, css_put, and mem_cgroup_put from the path
of moving swap account, and consolidate all of them into mem_cgroup_clear_mc.
We cannot do that about mc.to->refcnt.
These changes reduces the overhead from 1.35sec to 0.9sec to move charges
of 1G anonymous memory(including 500MB swap) in my test environment.

This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration
feature. It enables moving charges of anonymous swaps.
To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record.
In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by:
- page lock: if the entry is on swap cache.
- swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache.
This works well in usual swap-in/out activity.
But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many
conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely.
So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record())
to use xchg, and define a new function to cmpxchg swap_cgroup's record.
This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged
swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target
pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

Try to reduce overheads in moving charge by:
- Instead of calling res_counter_uncharge() against the old cgroup in

- removed css_get(&to->css) from __mem_cgroup_move_account() because callers
should have already called css_get(). And removed css_put(&to->css) too,
which was called by callers of move_account on success of move_account.
- Instead of calling __mem_cgroup_try_charge(), i.e. res_counter_charge(),

It implements functions to move charges of anonymous pages mapped only by

Implementation:
- define struct move_charge_struct and a valuable of it(mc) to remember the
count of pre-charges and other information.
- At can_attach(), get anon_rss of the target mm, call __mem_cgroup_try_charge()
repeatedly and count up mc.precharge.
- At attach(), parse the page table, find a target page to be move, and call
mem_cgroup_move_account() about the page.
- Cancel all precharges if mc.precharge > 0 on failure or at the end of
task move.

In current memcg, charges associated with a task aren't moved to the new
cgroup at task migration. Some users feel this behavior to be strange.
These patches are for this feature, that is, for charging to the new
cgroup and, of course, uncharging from the old cgroup at task migration.
This patch adds "memory.move_charge_at_immigrate" file, which is a flag
file to determine whether charges should be moved to the new cgroup at
task migration or not and what type of charges should be moved. This
patch also adds read and write handlers of the file.
This patch also adds no-op handlers for this feature. These handlers will
be implemented in later patches. And you cannot write any values other
than 0 to move_charge_at_immigrate yet.

This patch series provides the ability for cgroup subsystems to be
compiled as modules both within and outside the kernel tree. This is
mainly useful for classifiers and subsystems that hook into components
that are already modules. cls_cgroup and blkio-cgroup serve as the
example use cases for this feature.
It provides an interface cgroup_load_subsys() and cgroup_unload_subsys()
which modular subsystems can use to register and depart during runtime.
The net_cls classifier subsystem serves as the example for a subsystem
which can be converted into a module using these changes.
Patch #1 sets up the subsys[] array so its contents can be dynamic as
modules appear and (eventually) disappear. Iterations over the array are
modified to handle when subsystems are absent, and the dynamic section of
the array is protected by cgroup_mutex.
Patch #2 implements an interface for modules to load subsystems, called
cgroup_load_subsys, similar to cgroup_init_subsys, and adds a module
pointer in struct cgroup_subsys.
Patch #3 adds a mechanism for unloading modular subsystems, which includes
a more advanced rework of the rudimentary reference counting introduced in
patch 2.
Patch #4 modifies the net_cls subsystem, which already had some module
declarations, to be configurable as a module, which also serves as a
simple proof-of-concept.
Part of implementing patches 2 and 4 involved updating css pointers in
each css_set when the module appears or leaves. In doing this, it was
discovered that css_sets always remain linked to the dummy cgroup,
regardless of whether or not any subsystems are actually bound to it
(i.e., not mounted on an actual hierarchy). The subsystem loading and
unloading code therefore should keep in mind the special cases where the
added subsystem is the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all
css_sets need to be linked back into it) and where the removed subsys was
the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all css_sets should be
unlinked from it) - however, as all css_sets always stay attached to the
dummy cgroup anyway, these cases are ignored. Any fix that addresses this
issue should also make sure these cases are addressed in the subsystem
loading and unloading code.
This patch:
Make subsys[] able to be dynamically populated to support modular
subsystems
This patch reworks the way the subsys[] array is used so that subsystems
can register themselves after boot time, and enables the internals of
cgroups to be able to handle when subsystems are not present or may
appear/disappear.

Current css_get() and css_put() increment/decrement css->refcnt one by

This patch add a new function __css_get(), which takes "count" as a arg
and increment the css->refcnt by "count". And this patch also add a new
arg("count") to __css_put() and change the function to decrement the
css->refcnt by "count".
These coalesce version of __css_get()/__css_put() will be used to improve
performance of memcg's moving charge feature later, where instead of
calling css_get()/css_put() repeatedly, these new functions will be used.
No change is needed for current users of css_get()/css_put().

/**

kernel-doc treated the " * " line as a Description: section with only a

This patch adds waveform storing capability to broadsheetfb. It uses the
firmware class to retrieve the waveform, and the request to initiate the
waveform storing is done via a driver sysfs entry, loadstore_waveform.
Broadsheet is a framebuffer device. It is slightly different from a
typical framebuffer controller that drives a normal TFT-LCD display. Most
E-Ink display panels require a waveform in order to function. That is, in
order to drive the state of a pixel to black, gray, or white, a specific
waveform is utilized. Basically, that waveform represents the specific
E-field wiggling needed to get the pixel to its optimal state given
current temperature, and its previous state. TN/IPS-LCDs use a similar
concept but the driving waveform is sufficiently simple that it is
internalized in the TFT source/gate driver.
These E-Ink waveforms are specific to a production batch. That is, a
batch of display films are produced, then they get characterized and a
waveform is generated for that batch. Broadsheet, typically, is attached
to its private SPI flash which is then flashed with this waveform.
Users won't be able to see the waveform and typically won't ever need to
know about it. If however, the display panel attached to broadsheet is
changed out, then they will need to update their waveform. That would
typically be done at a factory or repair facility rather than by a user.

Add support for the color depth 15 on IGA1 and 30 on IGA1 and IGA2. To
allow the usage of those the driver now refuses color depth that are
totally off and otherwise the selection in viafb_check_var is used.
Therefore the first call to this for the first framebuffer was delayed a
bit. It only enables the new formats if they are requested exactly
(viafb_bpp=15|30).
As this is a new feature, no regressions are expected. The color depth 15
was successfully tested. Didn't get anything usable for 30 but that might
be the programs fault. I would like to get some feedback whether it works
as expected or not if somebody knows a program/configuration where it

This is a rewritten version of viafb_setcolreg. The hardware register
writes were split up and moved to hw.c where they belong as this is really
low level stuff. It was made dual fb aware.
Furthermore viafb_setcmap was removed as the problem with 8bpp originated
from a bug in writing multiple color registers at once. The removal of
viafb_setcmap might introduce a small performance regression but its
certainly better to receive the correct result a bit slower than a garbled
picture fast. It should give us a working 8bpp mode and is more
extensible than the old hardcoded code. No other regressions are expected
but as the hardware might be a bit picky it might cause some regressions
in 8bpp mode on some hardware although I doubt that.

Do not require the virtual_xres to be aligned as line length is for such

Make color checking a bit more tolerant in what values it allows and more
fine grained to later support 15 and 30 bits formats. It splits the
filling of the color information in var to a seperate function and sets
some color related values in var that where previously untouched.
This could be a bug fix but at least I don't know any applications that
was fooled by not correctly setting the fields in var. At least no
regressions are expected.

Some code depended on IGA1_IGA2 which was never set (at least with the
symbolic name). Remove this dead code although it might one day be useful
to get a hint on how some things might work. However as this is dead it
is likely full of bugs and would prevent a clean structure (as it has some
very strange things).
Dead code -> no regressions, at least if VIA doesn't do anything very ugly.

This patch splits color mode setting up in seperate functions. Some
hardware initialization that was previously mixed with it is moved to
viafb_setmode. As are the calls to the newly created function. This is
yet another little step towards controlling each IGA on its own.
As this patch really aims too mimic the old behaviour no regressions are
expected. However I noticed that 8bpp (or 6bpp?) seems actually a bit
broken before and after the patch.

This patch is an attempt to make viafb_set_par work correctly with more
than one framebuffer. As modesetting is not (yet/easily) possible for
each individual IGA it uses the (normally to be avoided) global variables
viafbinfo{,1} to ensure that each function is called with the correct
values.
This patch (finally) allows usable dual framebuffer setups and should not
affect non dual fb ones. It works in some (most?) configurations as
sometimes the driver still gets device connections wrong. It can be worth
to try the devices in reverse order (in viafb_active_dev).
The user experience is still not very nice as:
- on the second fb you'll normally have a garbled picture as long as
no application draws to it
goal: auto on/off devices depending on reference counting
- as the whole machinery is always done you can see mode changes also
in an unaffected framebuffer
goal: split modesetting up for each individual IGA

Set always the correct video address. Especially do panning right on
multiple IGAs.
This should have no effect on single monitor mode (no SAMM, no dual fb).
For SAMM without dual fb this might break something as I really cannot
image what we are supposed to do for different resolutions with a single
framebuffer as we can't get data out of nowhere (no, they are not set up
in something one would call "expanded"). Previously I got for that funny
colored pictures as the second IGA pointed to video memory that was never
written to. After the patch it'll work as cloning if the first and second
mode are identical (this was working already without SAMM). Finally for
dual fb this should push us a step in the right direction.

This patch reorders the initialization for dual framebuffer mode to not
ignore the settings for the first mode. Previously they were overwritten
with the settings for the second one before they were applied.
This should have no effect on non dual framebuffer mode and do what the
user intended (initalization to desired modes) in dual framebuffer mode.

Remove some unused variables, move some dvi code around and store the

handled as the old code did it but I hope it can be read from the hardware
some day.

This is the first step to remove an artificial global index that was used
in two ways:
1. As a pseudo index in the mode table. Pseudo as you had to search
through the table to find the referenced entry. This was replaced by
using a pointer to the entry.
2. As a shortcut to compare a combination of horizontal and vertical
resolution at the same time.
This was replaced by a "(hres<<16) | vres" which is good enough for
now and the near future. If vres or hres become greater than 2^16 this
might indeed cause problems but this solution allows to split this
indexing mess up without the requirement to do even more code changes.
This is a big change that will allow more clean ups. It should be a bit
faster but that is probably not relevant for normal operation. No
regressions expected but as this is a relatively big step heavy testing is
appreciated.
