The memcg code can trap tasks in the context of the failing allocation
until an OOM situation is resolved. They can hold all kinds of locks
(fs, mm) at this point, which makes it prone to deadlocking.
This series converts memcg OOM handling into a two step process that is
started in the charge context, but any waiting is done after the fault
stack is fully unwound.
Patches 1-4 prepare architecture handlers to support the new memcg
requirements, but in doing so they also remove old cruft and unify
out-of-memory behavior across architectures.
Patch 5 disables the memcg OOM handling for syscalls, readahead, kernel
faults, because they can gracefully unwind the stack with -ENOMEM. OOM
handling is restricted to user triggered faults that have no other
option.
Patch 6 reworks memcg's hierarchical OOM locking to make it a little
more obvious wth is going on in there: reduce locked regions, rename
locking functions, reorder and document.
Patch 7 implements the two-part OOM handling such that tasks are never
trapped with the full charge stack in an OOM situation.
This patch:
Back before smart OOM killing, when faulting tasks were killed directly on
allocation failures, the arch-specific fault handlers needed special
protection for the init process.
Now that all fault handlers call into the generic OOM killer (see commit
609838cfed97: "mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page
fault handlers"), which already provides init protection, the
arch-specific leftovers can be removed.

A few remaining architectures directly kill the page faulting task in an
out of memory situation. This is usually not a good idea since that
task might not even use a significant amount of memory and so may not be
the optimal victim to resolve the situation.
Since 2.6.29's 1c0fe6e ("mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault") there
is a hook that architecture page fault handlers are supposed to call to
invoke the OOM killer and let it pick the right task to kill. Convert
the remaining architectures over to this hook.
To have the previous behavior of simply taking out the faulting task the
vm.oom_kill_allocating_task sysctl can be set to 1.

With ECR now part of pt_regs
* No need to propagate from lowest asm handlers as arg
* No need to save it in tsk->thread.cause_code
* Avoid bit chopping to access the bit-fields
More code consolidation, cleanup

This can be ascertained within do_page_fault() since it gets the full
ECR (Exception Cause Register).
Further, for both the callers of do_page_fault(): Prot-V / D-TLB-Miss,
the cause sub-fields in ECR are same for same type of access, making the
code much more simpler.
D-TLB-Miss [LD] 0x00_21_01_00
Prot-V [LD] 0x00_23_01_00
^^
D-TLB-Miss [ST] 0x00_21_02_00
Prot-V [ST] 0x00_23_02_00
^^
D-TLB-Miss [EX] 0x00_21_03_00
Prot-V [EX] 0x00_23_03_00
^^
This helps code consolidation, which is even better when moving code from
assembler to "C".

* Move the various sub-system defines/types into relevant files/functions
(reduces compilation time)
* move CPU specific stuff out of asm/tlb.h into asm/mmu.h

This includes recent changes to make handler "retry" and/or "killable"
The killable (early exit) logic is loosely based on how SH implements it
return if SIGKILL + either of VM_FAULT_OOM or VM_FAULT_RETRY
which is different from Hexagon implementation which would NOT early
exit for
SIGKILL + VM_FAULT_OOM + !VM_FAULT_RETRY
