On -RT, this causes increased latencies and debug warnings.
The patch adds two additional schemes:
- one built around a completion - could be better for -RT kernels
- one built around a spinlock - unfortunately it's broken
- and the current one
My preferred solution would be the spinlock implementation: RT would use
premptible spinlocks, mainline normal spinlocks. Thus both get the
optimal implementation without any special code in ipc/sem.c.

This patch is required for checkpoint/restore in userspace.
c/r requires some way to get all pending IPC messages without deleting
them from the queue (checkpoint can fail and in this case tasks will be
resumed, so queue have to be valid).
To achive this, new operation flag MSG_COPY for sys_msgrcv() system call
was introduced. If this flag was specified, then mtype is interpreted as
number of the message to copy.
If MSG_COPY is set, then kernel will allocate dummy message with passed
size, and then use new copy_msg() helper function to copy desired message
(instead of unlinking it from the queue).
Notes:
1) Return -ENOSYS if MSG_COPY is specified, but
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is not set.

Add 3 new variables and sysctls to tune them (by one "next_id" variable

can be used to set desired id for next allocated IPC object. By default
it's equal to -1 and old behaviour is preserved. If this variable is
non-negative, then desired idr will be extracted from it and used as a
start value to search for free IDR slot.
Notes:
1) this patch doesn't guarantee that the new object will have desired

2) After a sucessful id allocation attempt, "next_id" will be set back

allowed, it will similarly be killed, and in weird cases, if prctl is

procfs: add VmFlags field in smaps output
During c/r sessions we've found that there is no way at the moment to
fetch some VMA associated flags, such as mlock() and madvise().
This leads us to a problem -- we don't know if we should call for mlock()
and/or madvise() after restore on the vma area we're bringing back to
life.
This patch intorduces a new field into "smaps" output called VmFlags,
where all set flags associated with the particular VMA is shown as two
letter mnemonics.
[ Strictly speaking for c/r we only need mlock/madvise bits but it has been
said that providing just a few flags looks somehow inconsistent. So all
flags are here now. ]
This feature is made available on CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=n kernels, as
other applications may start to use these fields.
The data is encoded in a somewhat awkward two letters mnemonic form, to
encourage userspace to be prepared for fields being added or removed in
the future.

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.

rtc: omap: kicker mechanism support
OMAP RTC IP can have kicker feature. This prevents spurious writes to
register. To write to registers kicker lock has to be released.
Procedure to do it as follows,
1. write to kick0 register, 0x83e70b13
2. write to kick1 register, 0x95a4f1e0
Writing value other than 0x83e70b13 to kick0 enables write locking, more
details about kicker mechanism can be found in section 20.3.3.5.3 of
AM335X TRM @www.ti.com/am335x
Here id table information is added and is used to distinguish those that
require kicker handling and the ones that doesn't need it. There are more
features in the newer IP's compared to legacy ones other than kicker,
which driver currently doesn't handle, supporting additional features
would be easier with the addition of id table.
Older IP (of OMAP1) doesn't have revision register as per TRM, so revision
register can't be relied always to find features, hence id table is being
used.
While at it, replace __raw_writeb/__raw_readb with writeb/readb; this
driver is used on ARMv7 (AM335X SoC)

epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app
It is not currently possible to reliably delete epoll items when using the
same epoll set from multiple threads. After calling epoll_ctl with
EPOLL_CTL_DEL, another thread might still be executing code related to an
event for that epoll item (in response to epoll_wait). Therefore the
deleting thread does not know when it is safe to delete resources
pertaining to the associated epoll item because another thread might be
using those resources.
The deleting thread could wait an arbitrary amount of time after calling
epoll_ctl with EPOLL_CTL_DEL and before deleting the item, but this is
inefficient and could result in the destruction of resources before
another thread is done handling an event returned by epoll_wait.
This patch enhances epoll_ctl to support EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE, which disables
an epoll item. If epoll_ctl returns -EBUSY in this case, then another
thread may handling a return from epoll_wait for this item. Otherwise if
epoll_ctl returns 0, then it is safe to delete the epoll item. This
allows multiple threads to use a mutex to determine when it is safe to
delete an epoll item and its associated resources, which allows epoll
items to be deleted both efficiently and without error in a multi-threaded
environment. Note that EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE is only useful in conjunction
with EPOLLONESHOT, and using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on an epoll item without
EPOLLONESHOT returns -EINVAL.
This patch also adds a new test_epoll self-test program to both
demonstrate the need for this feature and test it.

percpu_rw_semaphore: reimplement to not block the readers unnecessarily
Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to
acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are
blocked completely. Even if the "write" section was not actually started
or if it was already finished.
With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and
down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the
slow path.
percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and
increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it
takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers.
Also. With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of
synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with
barrier.

drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c: use generic PWM functions
The LP855x family devices support the PWM input for the backlight control.
Period of the PWM is configurable in the platform side. Platform
specific functions are unnecessary anymore because generic PWM functions
are used inside the driver.
(PWM input mode)
To set the brightness, new lp855x_pwm_ctrl() is used.
If a PWM device is not allocated, devm_pwm_get() is called.
The PWM consumer name is from the chip name such as 'lp8550' and 'lp8556'.
To get the brightness value, no additional handling is required.
Just the value of 'props.brightness' is returned.
If the PWM driver is not ready while initializing the LP855x driver, it's
OK. The PWM device can be retrieved later, when the brightness value is
changed.
Documentation is updated with an example.
