Commit 8ad227ff89a7 ("net: vlan: add 802.1ad support") added some new
NETIF_F_* features bits, but it added them in the middle of existing
values.
Userland depends upon the flag bits via the per-netdevice 'flags' sysfs
file.
So restore the previous ordering by adding the new flags at the end.

Pull x86/efi changes from Peter Anvin:
"The bulk of these changes are cleaning up the efivars handling and
breaking it up into a tree of files. There are a number of fixes as
well.
The entire changeset is pretty big, but most of it is code movement.
Several of these commits are quite new; the history got very messed up
due to a mismerge with the urgent changes for rc8 which completely
broke IA64, and so Ingo requested that we rebase it to straighten it
out."

Al's commit e1b5bb6d1236 ("consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS
declarations") broke the build on blackfin and metag due to the
following code:
#ifndef SYMBOL_NAME
#ifdef CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
#define SYMBOL_NAME(x) CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ## x
#else
#define SYMBOL_NAME(x) x
#endif
#endif
#define __SYMBOL_NAME(x) __stringify(SYMBOL_NAME(x))
__stringify literally stringifies CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ##x, so you get
lines like this in kernel/sys_ni.s:
.weak CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl
.set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl,CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_ni_syscall
The patches in Rusty's modules-next tree such as "CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX:
cleanup." cleans up the whole mess around symbol prefixes, so this patch
just attempts to fix the build in the meantime.
The intermediate definition of SYMBOL_NAME above isn't used and is
incorrect when CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is defined as CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
is a quoted string literal, so define __SYMBOL_NAME directly depending
on CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX.

Use minor->index to label things, not the name field from the proc_dir_entry
of the /proc/dwm/<minor>/ directory.
Also, use "%u" not "%d" to render the value and use a 12-byte buffer in which
to render the integer, not a 16-byte buffer. The longest string an unsigned
int can give you is 10 chars (4294967295) plus a NUL, so round up to 12 as the
stack is likely to be 4- or 8-byte aligned.

Supply an accessor function for getting the private data from the parent
proc_dir_entry struct of the proc_dir_entry struct associated with an inode.
ReiserFS, for instance, stores the super_block pointer in the proc directory
it makes for that super_block, and a pointer to the respective seq_file show
function in each of the proc files in that directory.
This allows a reduction in the number of file_operations structs, open
functions and seq_operations structs required. The problem otherwise is that
each show function requires two pieces of data but only has storage for one
per PDE (and this has no release function).

Using bit fields is dangerous on ppc64/sparc64, as the compiler [1]
uses 64bit instructions to manipulate them.
If the 64bit word includes any atomic_t or spinlock_t, we can lose
critical concurrent changes.
This is happening in af_unix, where unix_sk(sk)->gc_candidate/
gc_maybe_cycle/lock share the same 64bit word.
This leads to fatal deadlock, as one/several cpus spin forever
on a spinlock that will never be available again.
A safer way would be to use a long to store flags.
This way we are sure compiler/arch wont do bad things.
As we own unix_gc_lock spinlock when clearing or setting bits,
we can use the non atomic __set_bit()/__clear_bit().
recursion_level can share the same 64bit location with the spinlock,
as it is set only with this spinlock held.

This resulted from my commit ca99ca14c which introduced a mutex_trylock
operation in a path that could execute in interrupt context. When mutex
debugging is enabled, the above warns the user when we are in fact
exectuting in interrupt context
interrupt context.
After some discussion, It seems that a semaphore is the proper mechanism to use
here. While mutexes are defined to be unusable in interrupt context, no such
condition exists for semaphores (save for the fact that the non blocking api
calls, like up and down_trylock must be used when in irq context).

Merge IPC cleanup and scalability patches from Andrew Morton.
This cleans up many of the oddities in the IPC code, uses the list
iterator helpers, splits out locking and adds per-semaphore locks for
greater scalability of the IPC semaphore code.
Most normal user-level locking by now uses futexes (ie pthreads, but
also a lot of specialized locks), but SysV IPC semaphores are apparently
still used in some big applications, either for portability reasons, or
because they offer tracking and undo (and you don't need to have a
special shared memory area for them).
Our IPC semaphore scalability was pitiful. We used to lock much too big
ranges, and we used to have a single ipc lock per ipc semaphore array.
Most loads never cared, but some do. There are some numbers in the
individual commits.
* ipc-scalability:
ipc: sysv shared memory limited to 8TiB
ipc/msg.c: use list_for_each_entry_[safe] for list traversing
ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop
ipc,sem: have only one list in struct sem_queue
ipc,sem: open code and rename sem_lock
ipc,sem: do not hold ipc lock more than necessary
ipc: introduce lockless pre_down ipcctl
ipc: introduce obtaining a lockless ipc object
ipc: remove bogus lock comment for ipc_checkid
ipc/msgutil.c: use linux/uaccess.h
ipc: refactor msg list search into separate function
ipc: simplify msg list search
ipc: implement MSG_COPY as a new receive mode
ipc: remove msg handling from queue scan
ipc: set EFAULT as default error in load_msg()
ipc: tighten msg copy loops
ipc: separate msg allocation from userspace copy
ipc: clamp with min()

For debugging purposes, it is useful to have a name-string added
while exporting buffers. Hence, dma_buf_export() is replaced with
dma_buf_export_named(), which additionally takes 'exp_name' as a
parameter.
For backward compatibility, and for lazy exporters who don't wish to
name themselves, a #define dma_buf_export() is also made available,
which adds a __FILE__ instead of 'exp_name'.

threadgroup_lock() takes signal->cred_guard_mutex to ensure that
thread_group_leader() is stable. This doesn't look nice, the scope of
this lock in do_execve() is huge.
And as Dave pointed out this can lead to deadlock, we have the
following dependencies:
do_execve: cred_guard_mutex -> i_mutex
cgroup_mount: i_mutex -> cgroup_mutex
attach_task_by_pid: cgroup_mutex -> cred_guard_mutex
Change de_thread() to take threadgroup_change_begin() around the
switch-the-leader code and change threadgroup_lock() to avoid
->cred_guard_mutex.
Note that de_thread() can't sleep with ->group_rwsem held, this can
obviously deadlock with the exiting leader if the writer is active, so it
does threadgroup_change_end() before schedule().

There are 2 well known and ancient problems with coredump/signals, and a
lot of related bug reports:
- do_coredump() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but of course this can't help
if, say, SIGCHLD comes after that.
In this case the coredump can fail unexpectedly. See for example
wait_for_dump_helper()->signal_pending() check but there are other
reasons.
- At the same time, dumping a huge core on the slow media can take a
lot of time/resources and there is no way to kill the coredumping
task reliably. In particular this is not oom_kill-friendly.
This patch tries to fix the 1st problem, and makes the preparation for the
next changes.
We add the new SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP flag set by zap_threads() to indicate
that this process dumps the core. prepare_signal() checks this flag and
nacks any signal except SIGKILL.
Note that this check tries to be conservative, in the long term we should
probably treat the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case equally but this needs more
discussion. See marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120508897917439
Notes:
- recalc_sigpending() doesn't check SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP.
The patch assumes that dump_write/etc paths should never
call it, but we can change it as well.
- There is another source of TIF_SIGPENDING, freezer. This
will be addressed separately.

call_usermodehelper_setup()
call_usermodehelper_setup() + call_usermodehelper_exec() need to be
called instead of call_usermodehelper_fns() when the cleanup function
needs to be called even when an ENOMEM error occurs. In this case using
call_usermodehelper_fns() the user can't distinguish if the cleanup
function was called or not.

This patch adds a new ptrace request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO.
This request is used to retrieve information about pending signals
starting with the specified sequence number. Siginfo_t structures are
copied from the child into the buffer starting at "data".
The argument "addr" is a pointer to struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args.
struct ptrace_peeksiginfo_args {
u64 off; /* from which siginfo to start */
u32 flags;
s32 nr; /* how may siginfos to take */
};
"nr" has type "s32", because ptrace() returns "long", which has 32 bits on
i386 and a negative values is used for errors.
Currently here is only one flag PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO_SHARED for dumping
signals from process-wide queue. If this flag is not set, signals are
read from a per-thread queue.
The request PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO returns a number of dumped signals. If a
signal with the specified sequence number doesn't exist, ptrace returns
zero. The request returns an error, if no signal has been dumped.
Errors:
EINVAL - one or more specified flags are not supported or nr is negative
EFAULT - buf or addr is outside your accessible address space.
A result siginfo contains a kernel part of si_code which usually striped,
but it's required for queuing the same siginfo back during restore of
pending signals.
This functionality is required for checkpointing pending signals. Pedro
Alves suggested using it in "gdb" to peek at pending signals. gdb already
uses PTRACE_GETSIGINFO to get the siginfo for the signal which was already
dequeued. This functionality allows gdb to look at the pending signals
which were not reported yet.
The prototype of this code was developed by Oleg Nesterov.

Two rt tasks bind to one CPU core.
The higher priority rt task A preempts a lower priority rt task B which
has already taken the write seq lock, and then the higher priority rt
task A try to acquire read seq lock, it's doomed to lockup.
rt task A with lower priority: call write
i_size_write rt task B with higher priority: call sync, and preempt task A
write_seqcount_begin(&inode->i_size_seqcount); i_size_read
inode->i_size = i_size; read_seqcount_begin <-- lockup here...
So disable preempt when acquiring every i_size_seqcount *write* lock will
cure the problem.

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom
threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue
anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the
worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug
dump from oops, BUG() and friends.
This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any
workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is
dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion
and so on - the description will be printed out together with the
workqueue name and the worker function pointer.
The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called
from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and
dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on
any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible.
It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print
garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another)
oops.
The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the
terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and
the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new
fields is moved to the correct position.
Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as
worker desc.

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool
to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes
each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing
on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG()
and friends.
For example, after writeback is converted to use workqueue instead of
priviate thread pool, there's no easy to tell which backing device a
writeback work item was working on at the time of task dump, which,
according to our writeback brethren, is important in tracking down issues
with a lot of mounted file systems on a lot of different devices.
This patchset implements a way for a work function to mark its execution
instance so that task dump of the worker task includes information to
indicate what the work item was doing.
An example WARN dump would look like the following.
WARNING: at fs/fs-writeback.c:1015 bdi_writeback_workfn+0x2b4/0x3c0()

This patch:
Implement probe_kthread_data() which returns kthread_data if accessible.
The function is equivalent to kthread_data() except that the specified
@task may not be a kthread or its vfork_done is already cleared rendering
struct kthread inaccessible. In the former case, probe_kthread_data() may
return any value. In the latter, NULL.
This will be used to safely print debug information without affecting
synchronization in the normal paths. Workqueue debug info printing on
dump_stack() and friends will make use of it.
