- More verbose help/usage message.
- Make the option -f an alias for --file.
- On -h, --help, and --version display help message and exit(0).
- With no FILE(s) given, exit(1) with "no input files".
- On invalid options display help/usage and exit(1).

FLEX_ARRAY_INIT(element_size, total_nr_elements) cannot determine if
either parameter is valid, so flex arrays which are statically allocated
with this interface can easily become corrupted or reference beyond its
allocated memory.
This removes FLEX_ARRAY_INIT() as a struct flex_array initializer since no
initializer may perform the required checking. Instead, the array is now
defined with a new interface:
DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY(name, element_size, total_nr_elements)
This may be prefixed with `static' for file scope.
This interface includes compile-time checking of the parameters to ensure
they are valid. Since the validity of both element_size and
total_nr_elements depend on FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_SIZE and FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE,
the kernel build will fail if either of these predefined values changes
such that the array parameters are no longer valid.
Since BUILD_BUG_ON() requires compile time constants, several of the
static inline functions that were once local to lib/flex_array.c had to be
moved to include/linux/flex_array.h.

Add a new function to the flex_array API:
int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *fa)
This function will free all unused second-level pages. Since elements are
now poisoned if they are not allocated with __GFP_ZERO, it's possible to
identify parts that consist solely of unused elements.
flex_array_shrink() returns the number of pages freed.

Newly initialized flex_array's and/or flex_array_part's are now poisoned
with a new poison value, FLEX_ARRAY_FREE. It's value is similar to
POISON_FREE used in the various slab allocators, but is different to
distinguish between flex array's poisoned kmem and slab allocator poisoned
kmem.
This will allow us to identify flex_array_part's that only contain free
elements (and free them with an addition to the flex_array API). This
could also be extended in the future to identify `get' uses on elements
that have not been `put'.
If __GFP_ZERO is passed for a part's gfp mask, the poisoning is avoided.
These elements are considered to be in-use since they have been
initialized.

Add a new function to the flex_array API:
int flex_array_clear(struct flex_array *fa,
unsigned int element_nr)
This function will zero the element at element_nr in the flex_array.
Although this is equivalent to using flex_array_put() and passing a
pointer to zero'd memory, flex_array_clear() does not require such a
pointer to memory that would most likely need to be allocated on the
caller's stack which could be significantly large depending on
element_size.

Previous behavior was "bottom-up" in each section from the pattern "F:"
entry that matched. Now information is entered into the various lists in
the "as entered" order for each matched section.
This also allows the F: entry to be put anywhere in a section, not just as
the last entries in the section.
And a couple of improvements:
Don't alphabetically sort before outputting the matched scm, status,
subsystem and web sections.
Ignore content after a single email address so these entries are acceptable
M: name <address> whatever other comment
And a fix:
Make an M: entry without a name again use the name from an immediately

Before this change, matched sections were added in the order
of appearance in the normally alphabetic section order of
the MAINTAINERS file.
For instance, finding the maintainer for drivers/scsi/wd7000.c
would first find "SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "WD7000 SCSI SUBSYSTEM",
then "THE REST".
before patch:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c

get_maintainer.pl now selects matched sections by longest pattern match.
Longest is the number of "/"s and any specific file pattern.
This changes the example output order of MAINTAINERS to whatever is

Julia Lawall suggested that get_maintainers.pl should have the
ability to include signatories of commits that are modified by
a particular patch.
Vegard Nossum did something similar once.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/29/449
The modified script looks the commits for all lines in the
patch, and includes the "-by:" signatories for those commits.
It uses the same git-min-percent, git-max-maintainers, and
git-min-signatures options. git-since is ignored.
It can be used independently from the --git default, so
./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame <patch>
or
./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame -f <file>
is acceptable.
If used with -f <file>, all lines/commits for the file are
checked.
--git-blame can be slow if used with -f <file>
--git-blame does not work with -f <directory>

Move the state residency accounting and statistics computation off the hot

On exit, the need to recompute statistics is recorded, and new statistics
will be computed when menu_select is called again.
The expected effect is to reduce processor wakeup latency from sleep
(C-states). We are speaking of few hundreds of cycles reduction out of a
several microseconds latency (determined by the hardware transition), so
it is difficult to measure.

Fix the menu idle governor which balances power savings, energy efficiency
and performance impact.
The reason for a reworked governor is that there have been serious
performance issues reported with the existing code on Nehalem server
systems.
To show this I'm sure Andrew wants to see benchmark results:
(benchmark is "fio", "no cstates" is using "idle=poll")
no cstates current linux new algorithm
1 disk 107 Mb/s 85 Mb/s 105 Mb/s
2 disks 215 Mb/s 123 Mb/s 209 Mb/s
12 disks 590 Mb/s 320 Mb/s 585 Mb/s
In various power benchmark measurements, no degredation was found by our
measurement&diagnostics team. Obviously a small percentage more power was
used in the "fio" benchmark, due to the much higher performance.
While it would be a novel idea to describe the new algorithm in this
commit message, I cheaped out and described it in comments in the code
instead.

protection.
In our case, we actually get read/write/exec protection down to the page
boundary so processes can't stomp on each other let alone the kernel.
There is a performance decrease (which depends greatly on the workload)
however as the hardware/software interaction was not optimized at design

A number of architectures have identical asm/mman.h files so they can all
be merged by using the new generic file.
The remaining asm/mman.h files are substantially different from each
other.

Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that
will look like anonymous memory to userspace. This is accomplished by
using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of
MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave
the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.

The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only
on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a
hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific
meaning to it.

This patchset adds a flag to mmap that allows the user to request that an
anonymous mapping be backed with huge pages. This mapping will borrow
functionality from the huge page shm code to create a file on the kernel
internal mount and use it to approximate an anonymous mapping. The
MAP_HUGETLB flag is a modifier to MAP_ANONYMOUS and will not work without
both flags being preset.
A new flag is necessary because there is no other way to hook into huge
pages without creating a file on a hugetlbfs mount which wouldn't be
MAP_ANONYMOUS.
To userspace, this mapping will behave just like an anonymous mapping
because the file is not accessible outside of the kernel.
This patchset is meant to simplify the programming model. Presently there
is a large chunk of boiler platecode, contained in libhugetlbfs, required
to create private, hugepage backed mappings. This patch set would allow
use of hugepages without linking to libhugetlbfs or having hugetblfs
mounted.
Unification of the VM code would provide these same benefits, but it has
been resisted each time that it has been suggested for several reasons: it
would break PAGE_SIZE assumptions across the kernel, it makes page-table
abstractions really expensive, and it does not provide any benefit on
architectures that do not support huge pages, incurring fast path
penalties without providing any benefit on these architectures.
This patch:
There are two means of creating mappings backed by huge pages:
1. mmap() a file created on hugetlbfs
2. Use shm which creates a file on an internal mount which essentially
maps it MAP_SHARED
The internal mount is only used for shared mappings but there is very
little that stops it being used for private mappings. This patch extends
hugetlbfs_file_setup() to deal with the creation of files that will be
mapped MAP_PRIVATE on the internal hugetlbfs mount. This extended API is
used in a subsequent patch to implement the MAP_HUGETLB mmap() flag.
