Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] Optimize CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

Andrew, since the arch patches depend on the base patch, maybe the mm
tree is the right one? I have acks/reviews for the s390/x86 part.


As CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC can be enabled/disabled via kernel
parameters we can optimize some cases by checking the enablement
state.

I have done s390 and x86 as examples.
s390 should be ok, I tested several combinations, x86 seems to
work as well.

Power can probably do the same, Michael/Ben?
I am not sure about sparc. Sparc seems to allocate the TSB buffer
really early. David?


V2->V3:
- Fix whitespace/indent breakage in s390 patch
V1->V2:
- replace DEBUG_PAGEALLOC(disabled/enabled) with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
  dump_stack for s390/x86
- add /* CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC */ to else and endif


Christian Borntraeger (3):
  mm: provide debug_pagealloc_enabled() without CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
  x86: query dynamic DEBUG_PAGEALLOC setting
  s390: query dynamic DEBUG_PAGEALLOC setting
