fanotify: disable fanotify syscalls
This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().
It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups. This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.
This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have. I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.
Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle). Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle). Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
cycle). This is number 3.

xfs: properly account for reclaimed inodes
When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the
inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the
first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree
is also tagged.
When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from
the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent
tree's AG entry untagged properly.
Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode
shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one
point in time.
The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab
objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce xfs: convert inode shrinker to
per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the
shrinker bails out after one iteration.
But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the
reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim
eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan
several million objects.
Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an
inode when it is reclaimed.

intel_ips -- ensure we do not enable gpu turbo mode without driver linkage
Both when polling the current turbo status (in poll_turbo_status mode)
and when handling thermal events (in ips_irq_handler) the current status
of GPU turbo is updated to match the hardware status. However if during
driver initialisation we were unable aquire linkage to the i915 driver
enabling GPU turbo will lead to an oops on the first attempt to determine
GPU busy status.
Ensure that we do not enable GPU turbo unless we have driver linkage.

The patch is to create ips_adjust thread before ips_monitor begins
to run because the latter will kthread_stop() or wake up the former
via ips->adjust pointer. Without this change, it is possible that
ips->adjust is NULL when kthread_stop() or wake_up_process() is
called in ips_monitor().

The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in
the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait(). "flags" is
used in bitwise operations.
If "flags" not initialized then unexpected behaviour may take place.
Incorrect flags might used later in code.
Added initialization of "wait_queue_t.flags" with zero value into
"init_wait".

modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.
So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.
Future fixups:
- move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
belongs.
- get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
(called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
for other reasons.

xen: do not initialize PV timers on HVM if !xen_have_vector_callback
if !xen_have_vector_callback do not initialize PV timer unconditionally
because we still don't know how many cpus are available and if there is
more than one we won't be able to receive the timer interrupts on
cpu > 0.
This patch fixes an hang at boot when Xen does not support vector
callbacks and the guest has multiple vcpus.

xen: do not set xenstored_ready before xenbus_probe on hvm
Register_xenstore_notifier should guarantee that the caller gets
notified even if xenstore is already up.
Therefore we revert "do not notify callers from
register_xenstore_notifier" and set xenstored_read at the right time for
PV on HVM guests too.
In fact in case of PV on HVM guests xenstored is ready only after the
platform pci driver has completed the initialization, so do not set
xenstored_ready before the call to xenbus_probe().
This patch fixes a shutdown_event watcher registration bug that causes
"xm shutdown" not to work properly.

wacom_open() takes wacom->lock and calls usb_autopm_get_interface(),
which in turn calls wacom_resume() which tries to acquire the lock
again.
The fix is to call usb_autopm_get_interface() first, before we take
the lock.
Since we do not do usb_autopm_put_interface() until wacom_close()
is called runtime PM is effectively disabled for the driver, however
changing it now would risk regressions so the complete fix will
have to wait till the next merge window.
