Michal Hocko 8594a21cf7 mm, vmalloc: fix vmalloc users tracking properly
Commit 1f5307b1e0 ("mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users") has
pulled asm/pgtable.h include dependency to linux/vmalloc.h and that
turned out to be a bad idea for some architectures.  E.g.  m68k fails
with

   In file included from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable_mm.h:145:0,
                    from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable.h:4,
                    from include/linux/vmalloc.h:9,
                    from arch/m68k/kernel/module.c:9:
   arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h: In function 'nocache_page':
>> arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h:339:43: error: 'init_mm' undeclared (first use in this function)
    #define pgd_offset_k(address) pgd_offset(&init_mm, address)

as spotted by kernel build bot. nios2 fails for other reason

                   from arch/nios2/include/asm/io.h:61,

                   from include/linux/ptrace.h:9,

                   from include/linux/elf.h:4,
                   from include/linux/module.h:15,
                   from init/main.c:16:
  include/linux/vmalloc.h: In function '__vmalloc_node_flags':
  include/linux/vmalloc.h:99:40: error: 'PAGE_KERNEL' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'GFP_KERNEL'?

which is due to the newly added #include <asm/pgtable.h>, which on nios2
includes <linux/io.h> and thus <asm/io.h> and <asm-generic/io.h> which
again includes <linux/vmalloc.h>.

Tweaking that around just turns out a bigger headache than necessary.
This patch reverts 1f5307b1e0 and reimplements the original fix in a
different way.  __vmalloc_node_flags can stay static inline which will
cover vmalloc* functions.  We only have one external user
(kvmalloc_node) and we can export __vmalloc_node_flags_caller and
provide the caller directly.  This is much simpler and it doesn't really
need any games with header files.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
