coredump: abort core dump piping only due to a fatal signal
Make wait_for_dump_helpers() not abort piping the core dump data when the
crashing process has received a non-fatal signal. The abort still occurs
in the case of SIGKILL.
The rationale is that a crashing process may still receive uninteresting
signals such as SIGCHLD when its core dump data is being redirected to a
helper application. While it's necessary to allow terminating the core
dump piping via SIGKILL, it's practically more useful for the purpose of
debugging and crash reporting if the core dump piping is not aborted due
to other non-fatal signals.

signal: allow to send any siginfo to itself
The idea is simple. We need to get the siginfo for each signal on
checkpointing dump, and then return it back on restore.
The first problem is that the kernel doesn't report complete siginfos to
userspace. In a signal handler the kernel strips SI_CODE from siginfo.
When a siginfo is received from signalfd, it has a different format with
fixed sizes of fields. The interface of signalfd was extended. If a
signalfd is created with the flag SFD_RAW, it returns siginfo in a raw
format.
rt_sigqueueinfo looks suitable for restoring signals, but it can't
send siginfo with a positive si_code, because these codes are reserved for
the kernel. In the real world each person has right to do anything with
himself, so I think a process should able to send any siginfo to itself.
This patch:
The kernel prevents sending of siginfo with positive si_code, because
these codes are reserved for kernel. I think we can allow a task to send
such a siginfo to itself. This operation should not be dangerous.
This functionality is required for restoring signals in
checkpoint/restart.

after deletion of folders' tree under Linux.
SYMPTOMS:
Running Disk Utiltiy's "Verify Disk" on "test" gives the following:
Verifying volume “Test”
Checking file systemChecking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.
Unused node is not erased (node = 3111)

Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume Test was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.

1. Prepare HFS+ (non-case sensitive) partition (for example, 5GB)
under MacOS X.
2. Copy linux kernel source tree (for example, 3.7-rc6 version) on
this partition under MacOS X.
3. Then switch to Linux and mount this prepared partition.
4. Execute `sudo rm -r` under prepared directory with linux kernel
source tree.
5. Unmount and boot back into OS X.
6. Open up Disk Utility and verify partition.

hfsplus: add osx.* prefix for handling namespace of Mac OS X extended attributes
hfsplus: reworked support of extended attributes.
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 osx.* prefix for handling namespace of Mac OS X extended attributes.

The rtc-ds1307 driver does not properly handle block operations bigger

It also does not properly handle userland-supplied input (block operation
length) through sysfs and may suffer a type of buffer overrun.
The driver has been modified with proper input validation, buffer sizes,
and now splits block transfers bigger than 32 bytes into separate
transfers.
Explanation : Buffer size allocated is I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX which equals to
32 as per the SMbus spec. Reads and write may be up to 56 bytes (to the
NVRAM). This patch allocated a 255 byte buffer, the maximum allowable
(address is an u8). It's not only a buffer problem, SMbus only supports
up to 32 bytes transfer at once, so it's needed to split bigger transfers.

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.

checkpatch: fix USLEEP_RANGE test
Do not test udelay() for a value less than 10usec when passed a variable
instead of a hard-coded number; there is no way for checkpatch to know the
value of the variable. As it is today, it will complain about variables
with alphanumeric characters plus '_', e.g. foo_bar, but not variables
with other characters, eg. foo->bar.

lib/scatterlist: use page iterator in the mapping iterator
For better code reuse use the newly added page iterator to iterate through
the pages. The offset, length within the page is still calculated by the
mapping iterator as well as the actual mapping. Idea from Tejun Heo.

lib/scatterlist: add simple page iterator
Add an iterator to walk through a scatter list a page at a time starting
at a specific page offset. As opposed to the mapping iterator this is
meant to be small, performing well even in simple loops like collecting
all pages on the scatterlist into an array or setting up an iommu table
based on the pages' DMA address.

decompressors: make the default XZ_DEC_* config match the selected architecture
Change the defautl XZ_DEC_* config symbol to match the configured
architecture. It is perfectly legitimate to support multiple XZ BCJ
filters for different architectures (e.g.: to mount foreign squashfs/xz
compressed filesystems), it is however more natural not to select them all
by default, but only the one matching the configured architecture.

match_number() has return values of -ENOMEM, -EINVAL and -ERANGE. So, for
all the functions calling match_number, the return value should include
these values. Fix up the comments to reflect the correct values.

drivers/leds/leds-ot200.c: fix error caused by shifted mask
During the development of this driver an in-house register documentation
was used. The last week some integration tests were done and this problem
was found. It turned out that the released register documentation is
wrong.
The fix is very simple: shift all masks by one.

Clearing the NSTBY bit in the control register also automatically clears
the BLEN bit. So we need to make sure to set it again during resume,
otherwise the backlight will stay off.

of_find_node_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented,
use of_node_put() on it when done.
of_find_node_by_name() will call of_node_put() against the node pass to
from parameter, thus we also need to call of_node_get(from) before calling
of_find_node_by_name().

This is an initial commit of a backlight driver, using step-up DCDC power
supplies on AS3711 PMIC. Only one mode has actually been tested, several
further modes have been implemented "dry," but disabled to avoid accidental
hardware damage. Anyone wishing to use any of those modes will have to
modify the driver.
Tested on sh73a0-based kzm9g board. Only one mode has been tested and is
enabled. That mode copies the sample code from the manufacturer.
Deviations from that code proved to be fatal for the hardware...
