coredump: make core dump functionality optional
Adds an expert Kconfig option, CONFIG_COREDUMP, which allows disabling of
core dump. This saves approximately 2.6k in the compiled kernel, and
complements CONFIG_ELF_CORE, which now depends on it.
CONFIG_COREDUMP also disables coredump-related sysctls, except for
suid_dumpable and related functions, which are necessary for ptrace.

device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup internally to policy + exceptions
The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the
allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is
impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices.
The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally:
since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be
removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones
that are being denied. Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed
devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient.
This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default
policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure.
The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow
or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed,
respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default
policy:
# cat devices.list
a *:* rwm
# echo a >devices.deny
# cat devices.list
# echo a >devices.allow
# cat devices.list
a *:* rwm
The interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access
to /dev/null:
# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null
# echo a >devices.allow
# echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny
# cat /dev/null
cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
# echo >/dev/null
bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow
# cat /dev/null
# echo >/dev/null
bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 rw" >devices.allow
# echo >/dev/null
# cat /dev/null
# mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.allow

This does the following:
1: Splits the arguments of a function call to stop it
from exceeding 80 characters
2: Re-indents the arguments of another function call
to prevent the splitting of a quoted string.
Maintain an index of directory inodes by starting cluster, so that
fat_get_parent() can return the proper cached inode rather than inventing
one that cannot be traced back to the filesystem root.
Add a new msdos/vfat binary mount option "nfs" so that FAT filesystems
that are _not_ exported via NFS are not saddled with maintenance of an
index they will never use.
Finally, simplify NFS file handle generation and lookups. An
ext2-congruent implementation is adequate for FAT needs.

Under memory pressure, the system may evict dentries from cache. When the
FAT driver receives a NFS request involving an evicted dentry, it is
unable to reconnect it to the filesystem root. This causes the request to
fail, often with ENOENT.
This is partially due to ineffectiveness of the current FAT NFS
implementation, and partially due to an unimplemented fh_to_parent method.
The latter can cause file accesses to fail on shares exported with
subtree_check.
This patch set provides the FAT driver with the ability to
reconnect dentries. NFS file handle generation and lookups are simplified
and made congruent with ext2.
Testing has involved a memory-starved virtual machine running 3.5-rc5 that
exports a ~2 GB vfat filesystem containing a kernel tree (~770 MB, ~40000
files, 9 levels). Both 'cp -r' and 'ls -lR' operations were performed
from a client, some overlapping, some consecutive. Exports with
'subtree_check' and 'no_subtree_check' have been tested.
Note that while this patch set improves FAT's NFS support, it does not
eliminate ESTALE errors completely.
The following should be considered for NFS clients who are sensitive to ESTALE:
* Mounting with lookupcache=none
Unfortunately this can degrade performance severely, particularly for deep
filesystems.
* Incorporating VFS patches to retry ESTALE failures on the client-side,
such as https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/381
* Handling ESTALE errors in client application code
This patch:
Move NFS-related code into its own C file. No functional changes.

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.

There are several comparisons of a unsigned int to less than zero int

signed int is assigned to the unsigned variable, which is checked, before.
So the right fix is to make the checked variable signed as well. In one
case the check can be dropped completely, because all it does it returns
'err' if 'err' is less than zero, otherwise it returns 0. Since in this
particular case 'err' is always either 0 or less this is the same as just
returning 'err'.

networking specific style test for the preferred networking comment style.
/* The preferred style for block comments in
* drivers/net/... and net/... is like this

These tests are only used in net/ and drivers/net/
Tested with:
$ cat drivers/net/t.c
/* foo */
/*

checkpatch: update suggested printk conversions
Direct conversion of printk(KERN_<LEVEL>... to pr_<level> isn't the
preferred conversion when a struct net_device or struct device is
available.
Hint that using netdev_<level> or dev_<level> is preferred to using
pr_<level>. Add netdev_dbg and dev_dbg variants too.

scatterlist: atomic sg_mapping_iter() no longer needs disabled IRQs
SG mapping iterator w/ SG_MITER_ATOMIC set required IRQ disabled because
it originally used KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ to allow use from IRQ handlers.
kmap_atomic() has long been updated to handle stacking atomic mapping
requests on per-cpu basis and only requires not sleeping while mapped.
Update sg_mapping_iter such that atomic iterators only require disabling
preemption instead of disabling IRQ.
While at it, convert wte weird @ARG@ notations to @ARG in the comment of
sg_miter_start().

lib/vsprintf.c: improve standard conformance of sscanf()
Xen's pciback points out a couple of deficiencies with vsscanf()'s
standard conformance:
- Trailing character matching cannot be checked by the caller: With a
format string of "(%x:%x.%x) %n" absence of the closing parenthesis
cannot be checked, as input of "(00:00.0)" doesn't cause the %n to be
evaluated (because of the code not skipping white space before the
trailing %n).
- The parameter corresponding to a trailing %n could get filled even if
there was a matching error: With a format string of "(%x:%x.%x)%n",
input of "(00:00.0]" would still fill the respective variable pointed to
(and hence again make the mismatch non-detectable by the caller).
This patch aims at fixing those, but leaves other non-conforming aspects
of it untouched, among them these possibly relevant ones:
- improper handling of the assignment suppression character '*' (blindly
discarding all succeeding non-white space from the format and input
strings),
- not honoring conversion specifiers for %n, - not recognizing the C99
conversion specifier 't' (recognized by vsprintf()).

lib/spinlock_debug: avoid livelock in do_raw_spin_lock()
The logic in do_raw_spin_lock() attempts to acquire a spinlock by invoking
arch_spin_trylock() in a loop with a delay between each attempt. Now
consider the following situation in a 2 CPU system:
1. CPU-0 continually acquires and releases a spinlock in a
tight loop; it stays in this loop until some condition X
is satisfied. X can only be satisfied by another CPU.
2. CPU-1 tries to acquire the same spinlock, in an attempt
to satisfy the aforementioned condition X. However, it
never sees the unlocked value of the lock because the
debug spinlock code uses trylock instead of just lock;
it checks at all the wrong moments - whenever CPU-0 has
locked the lock.
Now in the absence of debug spinlocks, the architecture specific spinlock
code can correctly allow CPU-1 to wait in a "queue" (e.g., ticket
spinlocks), ensuring that it acquires the lock at some point. However,
with the debug spinlock code, livelock can easily occur due to the use of
try_lock, which obviously cannot put the CPU in that "queue". This
queueing mechanism is implemented in both x86 and ARM spinlock code.
Note that the situation mentioned above is not hypothetical. A real
problem was encountered where CPU-0 was running hrtimer_cancel with
interrupts disabled, and CPU-1 was attempting to run the hrtimer that
CPU-0 was trying to cancel.
Address this by actually attempting arch_spin_lock once it is suspected
that there is a spinlock lockup. If we're in a situation that is
described above, the arch_spin_lock should succeed; otherwise other
timeout mechanisms (e.g., watchdog) should alert the system of a lockup.
Therefore, if there is a genuine system problem and the spinlock can't be
acquired, the end result (irrespective of this change being present) is
the same. If there is a livelock caused by the debug code, this change
will allow the lock to be acquired, depending on the implementation of the
lower level arch specific spinlock code.

genalloc: make it possible to use a custom allocation algorithm
Premit use of another algorithm than the default first-fit one. For
example a custom algorithm could be used to manage alignment requirements.
As I can't predict all the possible requirements/needs for all allocation
uses cases, I add a "free" field 'void *data' to pass any needed
information to the allocation function. For example 'data' could be used
to handle a structure where you store the alignment, the expected memory
bank, the requester device, or any information that could influence the
allocation algorithm.
An usage example may look like this:
struct my_pool_constraints {
int align;
int bank;
...
};
unsigned long my_custom_algo(unsigned long *map, unsigned long size,
unsigned long start, unsigned int nr, void *data)
{
struct my_pool_constraints *constraints = data;
...
deal with allocation contraints
...
return the index in bitmap where perform the allocation
}
Add of best-fit algorithm function:
most of the time best-fit is slower then first-fit but memory fragmentation
is lower. The random buffer allocation/free tests don't show any arithmetic
relation between the allocation time and fragmentation but the
best-fit algorithm
is sometime able to perform the allocation when the first-fit can't.
This new algorithm help to remove static allocations on ESRAM, a small but
fast on-chip RAM of few KB, used for high-performance uses cases like DMA
linked lists, graphic accelerators, encoders/decoders. On the Ux500
(in the ARM tree) we have define 5 ESRAM banks of 128 KB each and use of
static allocations becomes unmaintainable:
cd arch/arm/mach-ux500 && grep -r ESRAM .
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:/* Base address and bank offsets for ESRAM */
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BASE 0x40000000
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE 0x00020000
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK0 U8500_ESRAM_BASE
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK1 (U8500_ESRAM_BASE + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE)

./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCLA_BASE U8500_ESRAM_BANK4
I want to use genalloc to do dynamic allocations but I need to be able to
fine tune the allocation algorithm. I my case best-fit algorithm give
better results than first-fit, but it will not be true for every use case.

lib/parser.c: avoid overflow in match_number()
The result of converting an integer value to another signed integer type
that's unable to represent the original value is implementation defined.
(See notes in section 6.3.1.3 of the C standard.)
In match_number(), the result of simple_strtol() (which returns type long)
is assigned to a value of type int.
Instead, handle the result of simple_strtol() in a well-defined way, and
return -ERANGE if the result won't fit in the int variable used to hold
the parsed result.
No current callers pay attention to the particular error value returned,
so this additional return code shouldn't do any harm.
