kptr_restrict has been triggering bugs in apps such as perf, and it also makes
the system less useful by default, so turn it off by default.
This is how we generally handle security features that remove functionality,
such as firewall code or SELinux - they have to be configured and activated
from user-space.
Distributions can turn kptr_restrict on again via this line in
/etc/sysctrl.conf:
kernel.kptr_restrict = 1
( Also mark the variable __read_mostly while at it, as it's typically modified
only once per bootup, or not at all. )

The old code considered valid empty LZMA2 streams to be corrupt.
Note that a typical empty .xz file has no LZMA2 data at all,
and thus most .xz files having no uncompressed data are handled
correctly even without this fix.

Just like kmalloc will allow one to allocate a 0 length segment of memory
flex arrays should do the same thing. It should bomb if you try to use
something, but it should at least allow the allocation.
This is needed because when SELinux switched to using flex_arrays in 2.6.38
the inability to allocate a 0 length array resulted in SELinux policy load
returning -ENOSPC when previously it worked.

Change flex_array_prealloc to take the number of elements for which space
should be allocated instead of the last (inclusive) element. Users
and documentation are updated accordingly. flex_arrays got introduced before
they had users. When folks started using it, they ended up needing a
different API than was coded up originally. This swaps over to the API that
folks apparently need.

mm/kmemleak-test.c is used to provide an example of how kmemleak
tool works.
Memory is leaked at module unload-time, so building the test
in kernel (Y) makes the leaks impossible and the test useless.
Qualify DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST config symbol with "depends on m",
to restrict module-only building.

NOTE!
This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block
tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()'
function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple
merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the
mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option.
To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the
mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of
this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits
which do not compile.
In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the
upstream tree, and the fixup patch.

Commit ddd588b5dd55 ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from
meminfo on oom kill") moved lib/show_mem.o out of lib/lib.a, which
resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own
versions of show_mem():
lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem':
show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem'
arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here
The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in
all implementations to prevent this breakage.
Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do
anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes
that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the
generic implementation.

The %pB format specifier is for stack backtrace. Its handler
sprint_backtrace() does symbol lookup using (address-1) to
ensure the address will not point outside of the function.
If there is a tail-call to the function marked "noreturn",
gcc optimized out the code after the call then causes saved
return address points outside of the function (i.e. the start
of the next function), so pollutes call trace somewhat.
This patch adds the %pB printk mechanism that allows architecture
call-trace printout functions to improve backtrace printouts.

This introduces CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE to tell whether to use generic
implementation of find_*_bit_le() in lib/find_next_bit.c or not.
For now we select CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE for all architectures which
enable CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT.
But m68knommu wants to define own faster find_next_zero_bit_le() and
continues using generic find_next_{,zero_}bit().

This makes the little-endian bitops take any pointer types by changing the
prototypes and adding casts in the preprocessor macros.
That would seem to at least make all the filesystem code happier, and they
can continue to do just something like
#define ext2_set_bit __test_and_set_bit_le
(or whatever the exact sequence ends up being).

Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the
maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the
caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter
values.
For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with
limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to
capture the whole report. In this case, a small workspace (24K works
fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e.,
during an oops or panic) or at boot time.
I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits
(positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
libc way to indicate failure.
2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
comments pretend they do.
3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
but users want strtou8()
4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
because conversion should be strict by default.
The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
Enter
kstrtoull()
kstrtoll()
kstrtoul()
kstrtol()
kstrtouint()
kstrtoint()
kstrtou64()
kstrtos64()
kstrtou32()
kstrtos32()
kstrtou16()
kstrtos16()
kstrtou8()
kstrtos8()
Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.
strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
eventually will be removed altogether.
Use kstrto*() in code today!
Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and
__alignof__ at least always works.

In an effort to reduce kernel address leaks that might be used to help
target kernel privilege escalation exploits, this patch uses %pK when
displaying addresses in /proc/kallsyms, /proc/modules, and
/sys/module/*/sections/*.
Note that this changes %x to %p, so some legitimately 0 values in
/proc/kallsyms would have changed from 00000000 to "(null)". To avoid
this, "(null)" is not used when using the "K" format. Anything that was
already successfully parsing "(null)" in addition to full hex digits
should have no problem with this change. (Thanks to Joe Perches for the
suggestion.) Due to the %x to %p, "void *" casts are needed since these
addresses are already "unsigned long" everywhere internally, due to their
starting life as ELF section offsets.

When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing
a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the
vmcore and reboot. This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly
while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with.
Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic
by default. Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of
cpus and/or nodes. This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other
important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a
signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT >
8.
This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that
are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state. Information
for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if
there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it.
This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom
is triggered. Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the
unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface.
Additionally, the per-cpu pageset statistics are extremely verbose in oom
killer output, so it is now suppressed. This removes
nodes_weight(current->mems_allowed) * (1 + nr_cpus)
lines from the oom killer output.
Callers may use __show_mem(SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES) to filter disallowed
nodes.

struct plist_head is used in struct task_struct as well as struct
rtmutex. If we can make it smaller, it will also make these structures
smaller as well.
The field prio_list in struct plist_head is seldom used and we can get
its information from the plist_nodes. Removing this field will decrease
the size of plist_head by half.

This is a new software BCH encoding/decoding library, similar to the shared
Reed-Solomon library.
Binary BCH (Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem) codes are widely used to correct
errors in NAND flash devices requiring more than 1-bit ecc correction; they
are generally better suited for NAND flash than RS codes because NAND bit
errors do not occur in bursts. Latest SLC NAND devices typically require at
least 4-bit ecc protection per 512 bytes block.
This library provides software encoding/decoding, but may also be used with
ASIC/SoC hardware BCH engines to perform error correction. It is being
currently used for this purpose on an OMAP3630 board (4bit/8bit HW BCH). It
has also been used to decode raw dumps of NAND devices with on-die BCH ecc
engines (e.g. Micron 4bit ecc SLC devices).
Latest NAND devices (including SLC) can exhibit high error rates (typically
a dozen or more bitflips per hour during stress tests); in order to
minimize the performance impact of error correction, this library
implements recently developed algorithms for fast polynomial root finding
(see bch.c header for details) instead of the traditional exhaustive Chien
root search; a few performance figures are provided below:
Platform: arm926ejs @ 468 MHz, 32 KiB icache, 16 KiB dcache
BCH ecc : 4-bit per 512 bytes
Encoding average throughput: 250 Mbits/s
Error correction time (compared with Chien search):
average worst average (Chien) worst (Chien)
----------------------------------------------------------
1 bit 8.5 µs 11 µs 200 µs 383 µs
2 bit 9.7 µs 12.5 µs 477 µs 728 µs
3 bit 18.1 µs 20.6 µs 758 µs 1010 µs
4 bit 19.5 µs 23 µs 1028 µs 1280 µs
In the above figures, "worst" is meant in terms of error pattern, not in
terms of cache miss / page faults effects (not taken into account here).
The library has been extensively tested on the following platforms: x86,
x86_64, arm926ejs, omap3630, qemu-ppc64, qemu-mips.

In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several
timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the
call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard.
Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint
function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address
(preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along
with the debugobjects type.
Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.

This removes the implementation of the big kernel lock,
at last. A lot of people have worked on this in the
past, I so the credit for this patch should be with
everyone who participated in the hunt.

most active in this, according to the recorded git
history, in alphabetical order.

swiotlb's map_page wrongly calls panic() when it can't find a buffer fit
for device's dma mask. It should return an error instead.
Devices with an odd dma mask (i.e. under 4G) like b44 network card hit
this bug (the system crashes):
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129648943830106&w=2
If swiotlb returns an error, b44 driver can use the own bouncing
mechanism.

When list debugging is enabled, we aim to readably show list corruption
errors, and the basic list_add/list_del operations end up having extra
debugging code in them to do some basic validation of the list entries.
However, "list_del_init()" and "list_move[_tail]()" ended up avoiding
the debug code due to how they were written. This fixes that.
So the _next_ time we have list_move() problems with stale list entries,
we'll hopefully have an easier time finding them..
