Lin Ming reported a 10% OLTP regression against 2.6.27-rc4.
The difference seems to come from different preemption agressiveness,
which affects the cache footprint of the workload and its effective
cache trashing.
Aggresively preempt a task if its avg overlap is very small, this should
avoid the task going to sleep and find it still running when we schedule
back to it - saving a wakeup.

This patch adds a UUID to the GFS2 sb structure. This field is not
actually referenced from kernel space at all, but is added for
completeness and due to the userland tools which get their on-disk
structure information from the gfs2_ondisk.h header file.
Since we have to be backwards compatible, we will assume that any GFS2
sb for which the UUID is all 0 does not have a UUID as such.
We should then be (after some userland changes) able to support the -U
mount option. This addresses Fedora bugzilla #242689

Main benefit in this is that we can then freely point
the retransmit_skb_hint to anywhere we want to because
there's no longer need to know what would be the count
changes involve, and since this is really used only as a
terminator, unnecessary work is one time walk at most,
and if some retransmissions are necessary after that
point later on, the walk is not full waste of time
anyway.
Since retransmit_high must be kept valid, all lost
markers must ensure that.
Now I also have learned how those "holes" in the
rexmittable skbs can appear, mtu probe does them. So
I removed the misleading comment as well.

with what I believe is a better fix than the one referenced
in the regression entry above.
These PNP header interfaces try to work in such a way that
you can reference some of them even if PNP is not enabled,
and the compiler was expected to optimize everything away.
Which is mostly fine, except that there was one interface
for which there was not provided an inline "NOP" implementation.
Once we add that, all of these compile failures cannot handle
any more.

Some architectures (like powerpc) provide status information on the exact
type of invalid exception. This is pretty straight forward as we already
report invalid exceptions via FP_SET_EXCEPTION.
We add new flags (FP_EX_INVALID_*) the architecture code can define if it
wants the exact invalid exception reported.
We had to split out the INF/INF and 0/0 cases for divide to allow reporting
the two invalid forms properly.

Currently, virtual interface pointers passed to drivers might be
from monitor interfaces and as such completely uninitialised
because we do not tell the driver about monitor interfaces when
those are created. Instead of passing them, we should therefore
indicate to the driver that there is no information; do that by
passing a NULL value and adjust drivers to cope with it.
As a result, some mac80211 API functions also need to cope with
a NULL vif pointer so drivers can still call them unconditionally.
Also, when injecting frames we really don't want to pass NULL all
the time, if we know we are the source address of a frame and have
a local interface for that address, we can to use that interface.
This also helps with processing the frame correctly for that
interface which will help the 802.11w implementation. It's not
entirely correct for VLANs or WDS interfaces because there the MAC
address isn't unique, but it's already a lot better than what we
do now.
Finally, when injecting without a matching local interface, don't
assign sequence numbers at all.
