Currently there is no way to show the callback names for registered,
unregistered or executed notifiers. This is very useful for debug
purposes, hence add this functionality here in the form of notifiers'
tracepoints, one per operation.

The current notifiers have the following error handling pattern all
over the place:
int err, nr;
err = __foo_notifier_call_chain(&chain, val_up, v, -1, &nr);
if (err & NOTIFIER_STOP_MASK)
__foo_notifier_call_chain(&chain, val_down, v, nr-1, NULL)
And aside from the endless repetition thereof, it is broken. Consider
blocking notifiers; both calls take and drop the rwsem, this means
that the notifier list can change in between the two calls, making @nr
meaningless.
Fix this by replacing all the __foo_notifier_call_chain() functions
with foo_notifier_call_chain_robust() that embeds the above pattern,
but ensures it is inside a single lock region.
Note: I switched atomic_notifier_call_chain_robust() to use
the spinlock, since RCU cannot provide the guarantee
required for the recovery.
Note: software_resume() error handling was broken afaict.

Commit 3f8fd02b1b ("mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in
__purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced a call to vmalloc_sync_all() in
the vunmap() code-path. While this change was necessary to maintain
correctness on x86-32-pae kernels, it also adds additional cycles for
architectures that don't need it.
Specifically on x86-64 with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y some people reported
severe performance regressions in micro-benchmarks because it now also
calls the x86-64 implementation of vmalloc_sync_all() on vunmap(). But
the vmalloc_sync_all() implementation on x86-64 is only needed for newly
created mappings.
To avoid the unnecessary work on x86-64 and to gain the performance
back, split up vmalloc_sync_all() into two functions:
* vmalloc_sync_mappings(), and
* vmalloc_sync_unmappings()
Most call-sites to vmalloc_sync_all() only care about new mappings being
synchronized. The only exception is the new call-site added in the
above mentioned commit.
Shile Zhang directed us to a report of an 80% regression in reaim
throughput.

By design notifiers can be registerd once only, 2nd register attempt
called by mistake silently corrupts notifiers list.
A few years ago I investigated described problem, the host was power
cycled because of notifier list corruption. I've prepared this patch
and applied it to the OpenVZ kernel and sent this patch but nobody
commented on it. Later it helped us to detect a similar problem in the
OpenVz kernel.
Mistakes with notifier registration can happen for example during
subsystem initialization from different namespaces, or because of a lost
unregister in the roll-back path on initialization failures.
The proposed check cannot prevent the described problem, however it
allows us to detect its reason quickly without coredump analysis.

efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.
The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new

use of SRCU are selected.
If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

and that sort of thing is rather hard to track down.

actually from either the kernel itself of from a still-loaded
