This attempts to clarify names utilized during block I/O remap
operations (partition, volume manager). It correctly matches up the
/from/ information for both device & sector. This takes in the concept
from Kosaki Motohiro and extends it to include better naming for the
"device_from" field.

The conversion to the ntpv4 reference model
f199239373 ("ntp: convert to the NTP4
reference model") in 2.6.19 added nanosecond resolution the adjtimex
interface, but also changed the "stiffness" of the frequency adjustments,
causing NTP convergence time to greatly increase.
SHIFT_PLL, which reduces the stiffness of the freq adjustments, was
designed to be inversely linked to HZ, and the reference value of 4 was
designed for Unix systems using HZ=100. However Linux's clock steering
code mostly independent of HZ.
So this patch reduces the SHIFT_PLL value from 4 to 2, which causes NTPd
behavior to match kernels prior to 2.6.19, greatly reducing convergence
times, and improving close synchronization through environmental thermal
changes.
The patch also changes some l's to L's in nearby code to avoid misreading
50l as 501.

A module will add/remove its trace events when it gets loaded/unloaded, so
the ftrace_events list is not "const", and concurrent access needs to be
protected.
This patch thus fixes races between loading/unloding modules and read
'available_events' or read/write 'set_event', etc.
Below shows how to reproduce the race:

This patch adds code that can benchmark the ring buffer as well as
test it. This code can be compiled into the kernel (not recommended)
or as a module.
A separate ring buffer is used to not interfer with other users, like
ftrace. It creates a producer and a consumer (option to disable creation
of the consumer) and will run for 10 seconds, then sleep for 10 seconds
and then repeat.
While running, the producer will write 10 byte loads into the ring
buffer with just putting in the current CPU number. The reader will
continually try to read the buffer. The reader will alternate from reading
the buffer via event by event, or by full pages.
The output is a pr_info, thus it will fill up the syslogs.

Entries: the number of entries left in the buffer
(the by pages will only read full pages)
Total: Entries + Read + Overruns
Missed: the number of entries that failed to write
Hit: the number of entries that were written
The above example shows that it takes ~353 nanosecs per entry when
there is a reader, reading by pages (and no overruns)
The event by event reader slowed the producer down to 501 nanosecs.

Extend the maximum addressable memory on x86-64 from 2^44 to
2^46 bytes. This requires some shuffling around of the vmalloc
and virtual memmap memory areas, to keep them away from the
direct mapping of up to 64TB of physical memory.
This patch also introduces a guard hole between the vmalloc
area and the virtual memory map space. There's really no
good reason why we wouldn't have a guard hole there.

In the hot path of the ring buffer "__rb_reserve_next" there's a big
if statement that does not even return back to the work flow.
code;
if (cross to next page) {
[ lots of code ]
return;
}
more code;
The condition is even the unlikely path, although we do not denote it
with an unlikely because gcc is fine with it. The condition is true when
the write crosses a page boundary, and we need to start at a new page.
Having this if statement makes it hard to read, but calling another
function to do the work is also not appropriate, because we are using a lot
of variables that were set before the if statement, and we do not want to
send them as parameters.
This patch changes it to a goto:
code;
if (cross to next page)
goto next_page;
more code;
return;
next_page:
[ lots of code]
This makes the code easier to understand, and a bit more obvious.
The output from gcc is practically identical. For some reason, gcc decided
to use different registers when I switched it to a goto. But other than that,
the logic is the same.

madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) forces page cache readahead on a range of memory

allocated and inserted into the hugetlbfs page cache. This leaks

dev_addr is made to point to the first member of the list so original drivers
sees no difference.
