e6cc117076 padata: Rename padata_alloc functions
We rename padata_alloc to padata_alloc_possible because this
function allocates a padata_instance and uses the cpu_possible
mask for parallel and serial workers. Also we rename __padata_alloc
to padata_alloc to avoid to export underlined functions. Underlined
functions are considered to be private to padata. Users are updated
accordingly.

30da552428 PCI: MSI: Restore read_msi_msg_desc(); add get_cached_msi_msg_desc()
commit 2ca1af9aa3285c6a5f103ed31ad09f7399fc65d7 "PCI: MSI: Remove
unsafe and unnecessary hardware access" changed read_msi_msg_desc() to
return the last MSI message written instead of reading it from the
device, since it may be called while the device is in a reduced
power state.

However, the pSeries platform code really does need to read messages
from the device, since they are initially written by firmware.
Therefore:
- Restore the previous behaviour of read_msi_msg_desc()
- Add new functions get_cached_msi_msg{,_desc}() which return the
  last MSI message written
- Use the new functions where appropriate

253d2e5498 PCI: disable mmio during bar sizing
It is a known issue that mmio decoding shall be disabled while doing PCI
bar sizing. Host bridge and other devices (PCI PIC) shall be excluded for
certain platforms. This patch mainly comes from Mathew Willcox's
patch in http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2007/9/13/258969.

A new flag bit "mmio_alway_on" is added to pci_dev with the intention that
devices with their mmio decoding cannot be disabled during BAR sizing shall
have this bit set, preferrablly in their quirks.

Without this patch, Intel Moorestown platform graphics unit will be
corrupted during bar sizing activities.

8f92054e7c CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment
Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
condition:

	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()

as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.

Instead, add the following validation condition:

	task->exit_state >= 0

to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
its own credentials.

Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:

 (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
     from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.

 (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
     directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
     instead.

Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

de09a9771a CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentials
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.

What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():

	TASK_1			TASK_2			RCU_CLEANER
	-->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
	rcu_read_lock()
	__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
				-->commit_creds()
				old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
				TASK_2->real_cred = ...
				put_cred(old_cred)
				  call_rcu(old_cred)
		[__cred->usage == 0]
	get_cred(__cred)
		[__cred->usage == 1]
	rcu_read_unlock()
							-->put_cred_rcu()
							[__cred->usage == 1]
							panic()

However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.

If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.

We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.

Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:

872e330e38 firewire: add isochronous multichannel reception
This adds the DMA context programming and userspace ABI for multichannel
reception, i.e. for listening on multiple channel numbers by means of a
single DMA context.

The use case is reception of more streams than there are IR DMA units
offered by the link layer.  This is already implemented by the older
ohci1394 + ieee1394 + raw1394 stack.  And as discussed recently on
linux1394-devel, this feature is occasionally used in practice.

The big drawbacks of this mode are that buffer layout and interrupt
generation necessarily differ from single-channel reception:  Headers
and trailers are not stripped from packets, packets are not aligned with
buffer chunks, interrupts are per buffer chunk, not per packet.

These drawbacks also cause a rather hefty code footprint to support this
rarely used OHCI-1394 feature.  (367 lines added, among them 94 lines of
added userspace ABI documentation.)

This implementation enforces that a multichannel reception context may
only listen to channels to which no single-channel context on the same
link layer is presently listening to.  OHCI-1394 would allow to overlay
single-channel contexts by the multi-channel context, but this would be
a departure from the present first-come-first-served policy of IR
context creation.

The implementation is heavily based on an earlier one by Jay Fenlason.
Thanks Jay.

Acked-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com>

In TPS6507x, depending on the status of DEFDCDC{2,3} pin either
DEFDCDC{2,3}_LOW or DEFDCDC{2,3}_HIGH register needs to be read or
programmed to change the output voltage.

The current driver assumes DEFDCDC{2,3} pins are always tied low
and thus operates only on DEFDCDC{2,3}_LOW register. This need
not always be the case (as is found on OMAP-L138 EVM).

Unfortunately, software cannot read the status of DEFDCDC{2,3} pins.
So, this information is passed through platform data depending on
how the board is wired.

FS_OPEN_PERM and FS_ACCESS_PERM fsnotify events.  This is done using the
new fsnotify secondary queue.  No userspace interface is provided actually
respond to or request these events.

c4ec54b40d fsnotify: new fsnotify hooks and events types for access decisions
introduce a new fsnotify hook, fsnotify_perm(), which is called from the
security code.  This hook is used to allow fsnotify groups to make access
control decisions about events on the system.  We also must change the
generic fsnotify function to return an error code if we intend these hooks
to be in any way useful.

59b0df211b fsnotify: use unsigned char * for dentry->d_name.name
fsnotify was using char * when it passed around the d_name.name string
internally but it is actually an unsigned char *.  This patch switches
fsnotify to use unsigned and should silence some pointer signess warnings
which have popped out of xfs.  I do not add -Wpointer-sign to the fsnotify
code as there are still issues with kstrdup and strlen which would pop
out needless warnings.

6e5f77b32e fsnotify: intoduce a notification merge argument
Each group can define their own notification (and secondary_q) merge
function.  Inotify does tail drop, fanotify does matching and drop which
can actually allocate a completely new event.  But for fanotify to properly
deal with permissions events it needs to know the new event which was
ultimately added to the notification queue.  This patch just implements a
void ** argument which is passed to the merge function.  fanotify can use
this field to pass the new event back to higher layers.

cb2d429faf fsnotify: add group priorities
This introduces an ordering to fsnotify groups.  With purely asynchronous
notification based "things" implementing fsnotify (inotify, dnotify) ordering
isn't particularly important.  But if people want to use fsnotify for the
basis of sycronous notification or blocking notification ordering becomes
important.

eg. A Hierarchical Storage Management listener would need to get its event
before an AV scanner could get its event (since the HSM would need to
bring the data in for the AV scanner to scan.)  Typically asynchronous notification
would want to run after the AV scanner made any relevant access decisions
so as to not send notification about an event that was denied.

4d92604cc9 fanotify: clear all fanotify marks
fanotify listeners may want to clear all marks.  They may want to do this
to destroy all of their inode marks which have nothing but ignores.
Realistically this is useful for av vendors who update policy and want to
clear all of their cached allows.

c9778a98e7 fanotify: allow ignored_masks to survive modify
Some users may want to truely ignore an inode even if it has been modified.
Say you are wanting a mount which contains a log file and you really don't
want any notification about that file.  This patch allows the listener to
do that.

b9e4e3bd04 fanotify: allow users to set an ignored_mask
Change the sys_fanotify_mark() system call so users can set ignored_masks
on inodes.  Remember, if a user new sets a real mask, and only sets ignored
masks, the ignore will never be pinned in memory.  Thus ignored_masks can
be lost under memory pressure and the user may again get events they
previously thought were ignored.

33af5e32e0 fsnotify: ignored_mask - excluding notification
The ignored_mask is a new mask which is part of fsnotify marks.  A group's
should_send_event() function can use the ignored mask to determine that
certain events are not of interest.  In particular if a group registers a
mask including FS_OPEN on a vfsmount they could add FS_OPEN to the
ignored_mask for individual inodes and not send open events for those
inodes.

90b1e7a578 fsnotify: allow marks to not pin inodes in core
inotify marks must pin inodes in core.  dnotify doesn't technically need to
since they are closed when the directory is closed.  fanotify also need to
pin inodes in core as it works today.  But the next step is to introduce
the concept of 'ignored masks' which is actually a mask of events for an
inode of no interest.  I claim that these should be liberally sent to the
kernel and should not pin the inode in core.  If the inode is brought back
in the listener will get an event it may have thought excluded, but this is
not a serious situation and one any listener should deal with.

This patch lays the ground work for non-pinning inode marks by using lazy
inode pinning.  We do not pin a mark until it has a non-zero mask entry.  If a
listener new sets a mask we never pin the inode.
