mm: dirty page tracking race fix
There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly
be accounted for.
clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty.
page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and
write protects the pte if it was dirty. It uses page_check_address to
find the pte. That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is
not present. Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then
back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this
should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may
be dirty.
For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte
before setting it to the desired value. There may also be other code in
core mm or in arch which do similar things.
The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and
loss of dirty page accounting accuracy. XIP's __xip_unmap could easily
also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can
lead to data corruption.
Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in
page_check_address.
It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and
try_to_unmap.

Adjust <Alt><SysRq>m show_swap_cache_info() to show "Free swap" as a

nr_swap_pages can legitimately go negative, so makes more sense thus

mention s390, to help us remember that this block is not really common.

Reduce brokenness of CRIS headers_install
I won't say 'fix', because they still look broken, although this will at
least allow 'make ARCH=CRIS headers_install' to _complete_.
For headers which are exported, we should probably choose between
asm/arch-v10 and asm/arch-v32 by something that GCC defines -- we can't
rely on a generated symlink. And we certainly can't export an arch/
directory which doesn't even exist.
And the only thing that we seem to include from the arch/ directory is
<asm/arch/ptrace.h> from <asm/ptrace.h> ... and that isn't exported in
either arch-v10 or arch-v32 _anyway_.

vfat: fix 'sync' mount deadlock due to BKL->lock_super conversion
There was another FAT BKL conversion deadlock reported by Bart
Trojanowski due to the BKL being used as a recursive lock by FAT, which
was missed because it only triggers with 'sync' (or 'dirsync') mounts.
The recursion worked for the BKL, but after the conversion to lock_super
(which uses a mutex), it just deadlocks.
Thanks to Bart for debugging this and testing the fix. The lock
debugging information from the original report:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.27-rc3-bisect-00448-ga7f5aaf #16
---------------------------------------------
mv/4020 is trying to acquire lock:
(&type->s_lock_key#9){--..}, at: [<c01a90fe>] lock_super+0x1e/0x20
but task is already holding lock:
(&type->s_lock_key#9){--..}, at: [<c01a90fe>] lock_super+0x1e/0x20
other info that might help us debug this:
3 locks held by mv/4020:
#0: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#9/1){--..}, at: [<c01b2336>] do_unlinkat+0x66/0x140
#1: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#9){--..}, at: [<c01b0954>] vfs_unlink+0x84/0x110
#2: (&type->s_lock_key#9){--..}, at: [<c01a90fe>] lock_super+0x1e/0x20
and the fix is to simply remove the use of lock_super() in fat_write_inode.
The lock_super() there had been just an automatic conversion of the
kernel lock to the superblock lock, but no locking was actually needed
there, since the code in fat_write_inode already protected all relevant
accesses with a spinlock (sbi->inode_hash_lock to be exact). The only
code inside the BKL (and thus the superblock lock) was accesses tp local
variables or calls to functions that have long been SMP-safe (i.e.
sb_bread, mark_buffe_dirty and brlese).
Bart reports:
"Looks good. I ran 10 parallel processes creating 1M files truncating
them, writing to them again and then deleting them. This patch fixes
the issue I ran into.

powerpc: Fix vio_bus_probe oops on probe error
When CMO is enabled and booted on a non CMO system and the VIO
device's probe function fails, an oops can result since
vio_cmo_bus_remove is called when it should not. This fixes it by
avoiding the vio_cmo_bus_remove call on platforms that don't implement
CMO.

powerpc/ibmebus: Restore "name" sysfs attribute on ibmebus devices
Recent of_platform changes made of_bus_type_init() overwrite the bus
type's .dev_attrs list, meaning that the "name" attribute that ibmebus
devices previously had is no longer present. This is a user-visible
regression which breaks the userspace eHCA support, since the eHCA
userspace driver relies on the name attribute to check for valid
adapters.
This fixes it by providing the "name" attribute in the generic OF
device code instead. Tested on POWER.
