This patch will make TCP use only linear timeouts if the
stream is thin. This will help to avoid the very high latencies
that thin stream suffer because of exponential backoff. This
mechanism is only active if enabled by iocontrol or syscontrol
and the stream is identified as thin. A maximum of 6 linear
timeouts is tried before exponential backoff is resumed.

Most implementations of arch_syscall_addr() are the same, so create a

Now that numa=fake=<size>[MG] is implemented, it is possible to remove

required.

numa=fake=N specifies the number of fake nodes, N, to partition the
system into and then allocates them by interleaving over physical nodes.
This requires knowledge of the system capacity when attempting to
allocate nodes of a certain size: either very large nodes to benchmark
scalability of code that operates on individual nodes, or very small
nodes to find bugs in the VM.
This patch introduces numa=fake=<size>[MG] so it is possible to specify
the size of each node to allocate. When used, nodes of the size
specified will be allocated and interleaved over the set of physical
nodes.
FAKE_NODE_MIN_SIZE was also moved to the more-appropriate
include/asm/numa_64.h.

This fixes a problem in the DCCP getsockopt() API: currently there is no way
for a user to a priori know the number of built-in CCIDs, other than trying
DCCP_SOCKOPT_AVAILABLE_CCIDS in a loop, incrementing the option length until
EINVAL is no longer returned.
This patch truncates the array to the user-provided length. No copy is made
when the length is <= 0.
Due to the length restriction in do_dccp_getsockopt() to sizeof(int), the
minimum array length remains 4, which is a reasonable default (only 3
CCIDs, CCID-2..4, are currently defined).

The IRQ probing is needlessly complex. All off the 83xx device trees in
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/ specify 5 interrupts per DMA controller: one for the
controller, and one for each channel. These interrupts are all attached to
the same IRQ line.
This causes an interesting situation if two channels interrupt at the same
time. The per-controller handler will handle the first channel, and the
per-channel handler will handle the remaining channels.
Instead of this mess, we fix the bug in the per-controller handler, and
make it handle all channels that generated an interrupt. When a
per-controller handler is specified in the device tree, we prefer to use
the shared handler instead of the per-channel handler.
The 85xx/86xx controllers do not have a per-controller interrupt, and
instead use a per-channel interrupt. This behavior has not been changed.

On Virtually Indexed architectures (which don't do automatic alias
resolution in their caches), we have to flush via the correct
virtual address to prepare pages for DMA. On some architectures
(like arm) we cannot prevent the CPU from doing data movein along
the alias (and thus giving stale read data), so we not only have to
introduce a flush API to push dirty cache lines out, but also an invalidate
API to kill inconsistent cache lines that may have moved in before
DMA changed the data
