This makes it possible to build perf statically, by
performing:
make LDFLAGS=-static
Since static libraries are only searched in the order they are
specified, move library list from LDFLAGS to EXTLIBS, so that
they are put at the end of linker command line.

The purpose of perf_output_{un,}lock() is to:
1) avoid publishing incomplete data
[ possible when publishing a head that is ahead of an entry
that is still being written ]
2) guarantee fwd progress
[ a simple refcount on pending writers doesn't need to drop to
0, making it so would end up implementing something like forced
quiecent states of RCU ]
To satisfy the above without undue complexity it serializes
between CPUs, this means that a pending writer can only be the
same cpu in a nested context, and since (under normal operation)
a cpu always makes progress we're good -- if the head is only
published when the bottom most writer completes.
Now we don't need to disable IRQs in order to serialize between
CPUs, disabling preemption ought to be sufficient, esp since we
already deal with nesting due to NMIs.
This avoids potentially expensive (and needless) local IRQ
disable/enable ops.

Lockdep events subsystem gathers various locking related events
such as a request, release, contention or acquisition of a lock.
The name of this event subsystem is a bit of a misnomer since
these events are not quite related to lockdep but more generally
to locking, ie: these events are not reporting lock dependencies
or possible deadlock scenario but pure locking events.
Hence this rename.

If a process asks for (i.e.) capture-assert events only, when the PPS
client calls the pps_event() function to save the current PPS event, we

Also, without this patch userland processes waiting for a specific PPS

v3020_mmio_read_bit() always returns 0 when left_shift > 7.
v3020_mmio_read_bit()'s return type is (unsigned char). The code returns
a value masked by (1 << left_shift) that is casted to the return type. If
left_shift is larger than 7, the cast will always result in a 0 return
value. The problem was discovered with left_shift = 16, and the included
patch corrects the problem.
The bug was introduced in the last (Apr 3 2009) commit of the file, kernel
versions 2.6.30 and later.

Daniel Lezcano reported a leak in 'struct pid' and 'struct pid_namespace'
that is discussed in:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/2/159.
To summarize the thread, when container-init is terminated, it sets the
PF_EXITING flag, zaps other processes in the container and waits to reap
them. As a part of reaping, the container-init should flush any /proc
dentries associated with the processes. But because the container-init is
itself exiting and the following PF_EXITING check, the dentries are not
flushed, resulting in leak in /proc inodes and dentries.
This fix reverts the commit 7766755a2f ("Fix /proc dcache deadlock
in do_exit") which introduced the check for PF_EXITING. At the time of
the commit, shrink_dcache_parent() flushed dentries from other filesystems
also and could have caused a deadlock which the commit fixed. But as
pointed out by Eric Biederman, after commit 0feae5c47a,
shrink_dcache_parent() no longer affects other filesystems. So reverting
the commit is now safe.
As pointed out by Jan Kara, the leak is not as critical since the
unclaimed space will be reclaimed under memory pressure or by:
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
But since this check is no longer required, its best to remove it.

alpha: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros.
Note that .data.page_aligned and .data.cacheline_aligned are now after
_data; it was probably a bug that they were before it.
Also, some explicit ALIGN(8)'s between various initcall sections were
removed; this should be harmless as the implicit alignment of
initcall_t was already 8.

Lee Schermerhorn reported that he saw bad pointer dereference in
mem_cgroup_end_migration() when he disabled memcg by boot option.
memcg's page migration logic works as
mem_cgroup_prepare_migration(page, &ptr);
do page migration
mem_cgroup_end_migration(page, ptr);
Now, ptr is not initialized in prepare_migration when memcg is disabled
by boot option. This causes panic in end_migration. This patch fixes it.
