  The memcg code sometimes uses "struct mem_cgroup *mem" and sometimes uses
  "struct mem_cgroup *memcg". This patch renames all mem variables to memcg in
  source file.

Testing : Compile tested with following configurations.
1) make defconfig ARCH=i386 + CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP=y CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED=y

Binary size Before patch
========================
    text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
8911169	 520464	1884160	11315793	 acaa51	vmlinux

Binary Size After patch
=======================
    text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

It would be much nicer to see unchanged md5sum. I am not sure how much
possible is this with current gcc or whether special command line
parameters have to be used (at least !CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO* is necessary)
but simple variable rename shouldn't be binary visible.
I guess that a similar approach was used during 32b and 64b x86
unification.
I agree,  I could get same MD5 sum only in N N N config case (3rd config).
  I am not sure whether we can get same Md5 after lines have been split.
Here is what I tried: static KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP 
KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION, initramfs source. strip vmlinux. (could not 
disable CONFIG_BUG).
I referred to 32nb 64b unification also, did not get much insight from 
there on same MD5.

2) make defconfig ARCH=i386 + CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP=n CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED=n
I would assume the same testing results as above
Yes

ditto.

Other sanity check:
Bootable configuration on x86 (T60p)  with  CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP=y CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED=y
is tesed with basic mounting of memcgroup, creation of child and parallel fault.
mkdir -p /cgroup
mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o memory
mkdir /cgroup/0
echo $$>  /cgroup/0/tasks
time ./parallel_fault 2 100000 32

real	0m0.025s
user	0m0.001s
sys	0m0.033s
This looks like a random test. I wouldn't add it to the changelog.
Agree.
