hfsplus: add on-disk layout declarations related to attributes tree
Current mainline implementation of hfsplus file system driver treats as
extended attributes only two fields (fdType and fdCreator) of user_info
field in file description record (struct hfsplus_cat_file). It is
possible to get or set only these two fields as extended attributes. But
HFS+ treats as com.apple.FinderInfo extended attribute an union of
user_info and finder_info fields as for file (struct hfsplus_cat_file) as
for folder (struct hfsplus_cat_folder). Moreover, current mainline
implementation of hfsplus file system driver doesn't support special
metadata file - attributes tree.
Mac OS X 10.4 and later support extended attributes by making use of the
HFS+ filesystem Attributes file B*-tree feature which allows for named
forks. Mac OS X supports only inline extended attributes, limiting their
size to 3802 bytes. Any regular file may have a list of extended
attributes. HFS+ supports an arbitrary number of named forks. Each
attribute is denoted by a name and the associated data. The name is a
null-terminated Unicode string. It is possible to list, to get, to set,
and to remove extended attributes from files or directories.
It exists some peculiarity during getting of extended attributes list by
means of getfattr utility. The getfattr utility expects prefix "user."
before any extended attribute's name. So, it ignores any names that don't
contained such prefix. Such behavior of getfattr utility results in
unexpected empty output of extended attributes list even in the case when
file (or folder) contains extended attributes. It needs to use empty
string as regular expression pattern for names matching (getfattr
--match="").
For support of extended attributes in HFS+:
1. It was added necessary on-disk layout declarations related to
Attributes tree into hfsplus_raw.h file.
2. It was added attributes.c file with implementation of functionality
of manipulation by records in Attributes tree.
3. It was reworked hfsplus_listxattr, hfsplus_getxattr,
hfsplus_setxattr functions in ioctl.c. Moreover, it was added
hfsplus_removexattr method.
This patch:
Add all neccessary on-disk layout declarations related to attributes
file.

This function is used by sparc, powerpc tile and arm64 for compat support.
The patch adds a generic implementation with a wrapper for PowerPC to do
the u32->int sign extension.
The reason for a single patch covering powerpc, tile, sparc and arm64 is
to keep it bisectable, otherwise kernel building may fail with mismatched

swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead
The swapin readahead does a blind readahead whether or not the swapin is
sequential. This is ok for harddisk because large reads have relatively
small costs and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can be reclaimed
easily. But for SSD devices large reads are more expensive than small
one. If readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused significant
overhead
This patch addes a simple random read detection similar to file mmap
readahead. If a random read is detected, swapin readahead will be
skipped. This improves a lot for a swap workload with random IO in a fast
SSD.
I run anonymous mmap write micro benchmark, which will triger swapin/swapout.
For both harddisk and SSD, the randwrite swap workload run time is reduced
significantly. Sequential write swap workload hasn't chanage.
Interestingly, the randwrite harddisk test is improved too. This might be
because swapin readahead needs to allocate extra memory, which further
tights memory pressure, so more swapout/swapin.

When calling unregister_node(), the function shows following message at

"Device 'node2' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must

The reason is node's device struct does not have a release() function.
So the patch registers node_device_release() to the device's release()
function for suppressing the warning message. Additionally, the patch
adds memset() to initialize a node struct into register_node(). Because
the node struct is part of node_devices[] array and it cannot be freed by
node_device_release(). So if system reuses the node struct, it has a
garbage.

pcmcia: move unbind/rebind into dev_pm_ops.complete
Move the device rebind procedures for cardbus devices from the pm.resume
into the pm.complete callback.
The reason for moving the code is: "[...] The PM code needs to send
suspend and resume messages to every device in the right order, and it
can't do that if new devices are being added at the same time. [...]"
However the situation really isn't quite that rigid. In particular,
adding new children during a resume callback shouldn't cause much of
problem because the children don't need to be resumed anyway (since they
were never suspended). On the other hand, if you do it you will get a
dev_warn() from the PM core, something like 'parent should not be
sleeping'.
Still, it is considered bad form and should be avoided if possible."

acpi_memhotplug.c: free memory device if acpi_memory_enable_device() failed
If acpi_memory_enable_device() fails, acpi_memory_enable_device() will
return a non-zero value, which means we fail to bind the memory device to
this driver. So we should free memory device before
acpi_memory_device_add() returns.

x86 cpu_hotplug: unmap cpu2node when the cpu is hotremoved
When a cpu is hotplugged, we call acpi_map_cpu2node() in
_acpi_map_lsapic() to store the cpu's node. But we don't clear the cpu's
node in acpi_unmap_lsapic() when this cpu is hotremoved. If the node is
also hotremoved, We will get the following messages:
The reason is that: the cpu's node is not NUMA_NO_NODE, we will call
alloc_pages_exact_node() to alloc memory on the node, but the node is
offlined.

vfs: d_obtain_alias() needs to use "/" as default name.
NFS appears to use d_obtain_alias() to create the root dentry rather than
d_make_root. This can cause 'prepend_path()' to complain that the root
has a weird name if an NFS filesystem is lazily unmounted. e.g. if
"/mnt" is an NFS mount then
{ cd /mnt; umount -l /mnt ; ls -l /proc/self/cwd; }
will cause a WARN message like
WARNING: at /home/git/linux/fs/dcache.c:2624 prepend_path+0x1d7/0x1e0()
...
Root dentry has weird name <>
to appear in kernel logs.
So change d_obtain_alias() to use "/" rather than "" as the anonymous
name.

CRIS: Fix I/O macros
The inb/outb macros for CRIS are broken from a number of points of view,
missing () around parameters and they have an unprotected if statement in
them. This was breaking the compile of IPMI on CRIS and thus I was being
annoyed by build regressions, so I fixed them.
Plus I don't think they would have worked at all, since the data values
were missing "&" and the outsl had a "3" instead of a "4" for the size.
From what I can tell, this stuff is not used at all, so this can't be any
more broken than it was before, anyway.
thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace may trigger
avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a
panic eventually.
This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop.
Based on a patch by Andrew Vagin.

kernel/sys.c: fix stack memory content leak via UNAME26
Calling uname() with the UNAME26 personality set allows a leak of kernel
stack contents. This fixes it by defensively calculating the length of
copy_to_user() call, making the len argument unsigned, and initializing
the stack buffer to zero (now technically unneeded, but hey, overkill).

memstick: ms_block: fix compile issue
As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven:
: http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/7280352/
: arch/m68k/include/asm/hardirq.h:23:20: error: expected ')' before 'DRIVER_NAME'
: make[4]: *** [drivers/memstick/core/ms_block.o] Error 1
:
: The reason for this is that pr_fmt() references DRIVER_NAME and is defined
: before the first include, while DRIVER_NAME is only defined in ms_block.h,
: which is the last included file. If any subsequent include file uses
: pr_fmt() (e.g. the call to pr_crit() in arch/m68k/include/asm/hardirq.h),
: this causes a build failure.
:
: I suggest moving the DRIVER_NAME define to ms_block.c. Cfr. memstick.c
: and mspro_block.c, who already have their own definition.
