watchdog: trigger all-cpu backtrace when locked up and going to panic
Send an NMI to all CPUs when a lockup is detected and the lockup watchdog
code is configured to panic. This gives us a fairly uptodate snapshot of
all CPUs in the system.
This lets us get stack trace of all CPUs which makes life easier trying to
debug a deadlock, and the NMI doesn't change anything since the next step
is a kernel panic.

fs: fix hang with BSD accounting on frozen filesystem
When BSD process accounting is enabled and logs information to a
filesystem which gets frozen, system easily becomes unusable because each
attempt to account process information blocks. Thus e.g. every task gets
blocked in exit.
It seems better to drop accounting information (which can already happen
when filesystem is running out of space) instead of locking system up. So
we open the accounting file with O_NONBLOCK.

lglock: update lockdep annotations to report recursive local locks
Oleg Nesterov recently noticed that the lockdep annotations in lglock.c
are not sufficient to detect some obvious deadlocks, such as
lg_local_lock(LOCK) + lg_local_lock(LOCK) or spin_lock(X) +
lg_local_lock(Y) vs lg_local_lock(Y) + spin_lock(X).
Both issues are easily fixed by indicating to lockdep that lglock's local
locks are not recursive. We shouldn't use the rwlock acquire/release
functions here, as lglock doesn't share the same semantics. Instead we
can base our lockdep annotations on the lock_acquire_shared (for local
lglock) and lock_acquire_exclusive (for global lglock) helpers.
I am not proposing new lglock specific helpers as I don't see the point of
the existing second level of helpers :)

Introduce lock_acquire_{exclusive,shared,shared_recursive} helpers which

scripts/decodecode: make faulting insn ptr more robust
It can accidentally happen that the faulting insn (the exact instruction

same instruction to be tagged twice, see example below.
What we want to do, however, is to track back from the end of the whole
disassembly so many lines as the slice which starts with the faulting
instruction is long. This leads us to the actual faulting instruction and
*then* we tag it.
While we're at it, we can drop the sed "g" flag because we address only
this one line.
Also, if we point to an instruction which changes decoding depending on
the slice being objdumped, like a Jcc insn, for example, we do not even
tag it as a faulting instruction because the instruction decode changes in
the second slice but we use that second format as a regex on the fsrst
disassembled buffer and more often than not that instruction doesn't
match.
Again, simply tag the line which is deduced from the original "<>" marking
we've received from the kernel.
This also solves the pathologic issue of multiple tagging like this:

ktime_add_ns() may overflow on 32bit architectures
I've triggered an overflow when using ktime_add_ns() on a 32bit
architecture not supporting CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR.
When passing a very high value for u64 nsec, e.g. 7881299347898368000 the
do_div() function converts this value to seconds (7881299347) which is
still to high to pass to the ktime_set() function as long. The result in
my case is a negative value.
The problem on my system occurs in the tick-sched.c,
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() when time_delta is set to
timekeeping_max_deferment(). The check for time_delta < KTIME_MAX is
valid, thus ktime_add_ns() is called with a too large value resulting in a
negative expire value. This leads to an endless loop in the ticker code:
time_delta: 7881299347898368000
expires = ktime_add_ns(last_update, time_delta)
expires: negative value
This error doesn't occurs on 64bit or architectures supporting
CONFIG_KTIME_SCALAR (e.g. ARM, x86-32). 64-bit arches doesn't run into
this problem because ktime_add_ns() can directly calculate the result
without calling do_div() and ktime_set().

cyber2000fb: avoid palette corruption at higher clocks

sometimes the background is white, sometimes yellow and text colors are

It seems that the HW needs some time before setting the palette - maybe
the PLL needs more time to lock at higher speeds. This patch fixes the
problem but without knowing what register to check for PLL lock(?), the
delay might be excessive.

kthread: kill task_get_live_kthread()
task_get_live_kthread() looks confusing and unneeded. It does
get_task_struct() but only kthread_stop() needs this, it can be called
even if the calller doesn't have a reference when we know that this
kthread can't exit until we do kthread_stop().
kthread_park() and kthread_unpark() do not need get_task_struct(), the
callers already have the reference. And it can not help if we can race
with the exiting kthread anyway, kthread_park() can hang forever in this
case.
Change kthread_park() and kthread_unpark() to use to_live_kthread(),
change kthread_stop() to do get_task_struct() by hand and remove
task_get_live_kthread().

kthread: introduce to_live_kthread()
"k->vfork_done != NULL" with a barrier() after to_kthread(k) in
task_get_live_kthread(k) looks unclear, and sub-optimal because we load
->vfork_done twice.
All we need is to ensure that we do not return to_kthread(NULL). Add a
new trivial helper which loads/checks ->vfork_done once, this also looks
more understandable.

drivers/char/random.c: fix priming of last_data
Commit ec8f02da9e ("random: prime last_data value per fips requirements")
added priming of last_data per fips requirements. Unfortuantely, it did
so in a way that can lead to multiple threads all incrementing nbytes, but
only one actually doing anything with the extra data, which leads to some
fun random corruption and panics.
The fix is to simply do everything needed to prime last_data in a single
shot, so there's no window for multiple cpus to increment nbytes -- in
fact, we won't even increment or decrement nbytes anymore, we'll just
extract the needed EXTRACT_SIZE one time per pool and then carry on with
the normal routine.
All these changes have been tested across multiple hosts and architectures
where panics were previously encoutered. The code changes are are
strictly limited to areas only touched when when booted in fips mode.
This change should also go into 3.8-stable, to make the myriads of fips
users on 3.8.x happy.

thinkpad-acpi: kill hotkey_thread_mutex
hotkey_kthread() does try_to_freeze() under hotkey_thread_mutex.
We can simply kill this mutex, hotkey_poll_stop_sync() does not need to
