Change pgtable_page_ctor() return type from void to bool. Returns true,
if initialization is successful and false otherwise.
Current implementation never fails, but it will change later.

In split page table lock case, we embed spinlock_t into struct page.
For obvious reason, we don't want to increase size of struct page if
spinlock_t is too big, like with DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC or
on -rt kernel. So we disable split page table lock, if spinlock_t is
too big.
This patchset allows to allocate the lock dynamically if spinlock_t is
big. In this page->ptl is used to store pointer to spinlock instead of
spinlock itself. It costs additional cache line for indirect access,
but fix page fault scalability for multi-threaded applications.
LOCK_STAT depends on DEBUG_SPINLOCK, so on current kernel enabling
LOCK_STAT to analyse scalability issues breaks scalability. ;)
The patchset mostly fixes this. Results for ./thp_memscale -c 80 -b 512M
on 4-socket machine:
baseline, no CONFIG_LOCK_STAT: 9.115460703 seconds time elapsed
baseline, CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y: 53.890567123 seconds time elapsed
patched, no CONFIG_LOCK_STAT: 8.852250368 seconds time elapsed
patched, CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y: 11.069770759 seconds time elapsed
Patch count is scary, but most of them trivial. Overview:
Patches 1-4 Few bug fixes. No dependencies to other patches.
Probably should applied as soon as possible.
Patch 5 Changes signature of pgtable_page_ctor(). We will use it
for dynamic lock allocation, so it can fail.
Patches 6-8 Add missing constructor/destructor calls on few archs.
It's fixes NR_PAGETABLE accounting and prepare to use
split ptl.
Patches 9-33 Add pgtable_page_ctor() fail handling to all archs.
Patches 34 Finally adds support of dynamically-allocated page->pte.
Also contains documentation for split page table lock.
This patch (of 34):
I've missed that we preallocate few pmds on pgd_alloc() if X86_PAE
enabled. Let's add missed constructor/destructor calls.
I haven't noticed it during testing since prep_new_page() clears
page->mapping and therefore page->ptl. It's effectively equal to
spin_lock_init(&page->ptl).

Pull xfs update from Ben Myers:
"For 3.13-rc1 we have an eclectic assortment of bugfixes, cleanups, and
refactoring. Bugfixes that stand out are the fix for the AGF/AGI
deadlock, incore extent list fixes, verifier fixes for v4 superblocks
and growfs, and memory leaks. There are some asserts, warnings, and
strings that were cleaned up. There was further rearrangement of code
to make libxfs and the kernel sync up more easily, differences between
v2 and v3 directory code were abstracted using an ops vector,
xfs_inactive was reworked, and the preallocation/hole punching code
was refactored.
- simplify kmem_zone_zalloc
- add traces for AGF/AGI read ops
- add additional AIL traces
- fix xfs_remove AGF vs AGI deadlock
- fix the extent count of new incore extent page in the indirection
array
- don't fail bad secondary superblocks verification on v4 filesystems
due to unzeroed bits after v4 fields
- fix possible NULL dereference in xlog_verify_iclog
- remove redundant assert in xfs_dir2_leafn_split
- prevent stack overflows from page cache allocation
- fix some sparse warnings
- fix directory block format verifier to check the leaf entry count
- abstract the differences in dir2/dir3 via an ops vector
- continue process of reorganization to make libxfs/kernel code
merges easier
- refactor the preallocation and hole punching code
- fix for growfs and verifiers
- remove unnecessary scary corruption error when probing non-xfs
filesystems
- remove extra newlines from strings passed to printk
- prevent deadlock trying to cover an active log
- rework xfs_inactive()
- add the inode directory type support to XFS_IOC_FSGEOM
- cleanup (remove) usage of is_bad_inode
- fix miscalculation in xfs_iext_realloc_direct which results in
oversized direct extent list
- remove unnecessary count arg to xfs_iomap_write_allocate
- fix memory leak in xlog_recover_add_to_trans
- check superblock instead of block magic to determine if dtype field
is present
- fix lockdep annotation due to project quotas
- fix regression in xfs_node_toosmall which can lead to incorrect
directory btree node collapse
- make log recovery verify filesystem uuid of recovering blocks
- fix XFS_IOC_FREE_EOFBLOCKS definition
