lib/scatterlist: factor out sg_miter_get_next_page() from sg_miter_next()
This patchset introduces sg_pcopy_from_buffer() and sg_pcopy_to_buffer(),
which copy data between a linear buffer and an SG list.
The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and
sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that specifies the
number of bytes to skip the SG list before copying.
The main reason for introducing these functions is to fix a problem in
scsi_debug module. And there is a local function in crypto/talitos
module, which can be replaced by sg_pcopy_to_buffer().
This patch:
sg_miter_get_next_page() is used to proceed page iterator to the next page
if necessary, and will be used to implement the variants of
sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() later.

This patch set is for adding support for LZ4-compressed Kernel. LZ4 is a
very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely
fast decoder [1].
But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does
arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones? This issue
had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2].
Russell King said that we should have:
- one decompressor which is the fastest
- one decompressor for the highest compression ratio
- one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip)
If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly
that: replace it.
The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase in
decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the fastest
decompressor in the Kernel). Therefore the "fast but may not be small"
compression title has clearly been taken by LZ4 [3].

Power-up timing
The DS2408 is sensitive to the power-on slew rate and can inadvertently
power up with a test mode feature enabled. When this occurs, the P0 port
does not respond to the Channel Access Write command. For most reliable
operation, it is recommended to disable the test mode after every power-on
reset using the Disable Test Mode sequence shown below. The 64-bit ROM
code must be transmitted in the same bit sequence as with the Match ROM
command, i.e., least significant bit first. This precaution is
recommended in parasite power mode (VCC pin connected to GND) as well as
with VCC power.

nbd: correct disconnect behavior
Currently, when a disconnect is requested by the user (via NBD_DISCONNECT
ioctl) the return from NBD_DO_IT is undefined (it is usually one of
several error codes). This means that nbd-client does not know if a
manual disconnect was performed or whether a network error occurred.
Because of this, nbd-client's persist mode (which tries to reconnect after
error, but not after manual disconnect) does not always work correctly.
This change fixes this by causing NBD_DO_IT to always return 0 if a user
requests a disconnect. This means that nbd-client can correctly either
persist the connection (if an error occurred) or disconnect (if the user
requested it).

mwave: fix info leak in mwave_ioctl()
Smatch complains that on 64 bit systems, there is a hole in the
MW_ABILITIES struct between ->component_count and ->component_list[]. It
leaks stack information from the mwave_ioctl() function.
I've added a memset() to initialize the struct to zero.

ipc/sem.c: replace shared sem_otime with per-semaphore value
sem_otime contains the time of the last semaphore operation that completed
successfully. Every operation updates this value, thus access from
multiple cpus can cause thrashing.
Therefore the patch replaces the variable with a per-semaphore variable.
The per-array sem_otime is only calculated when required.
No performance improvement on a single-socket i3 - only important

ipc/sem.c: always use only one queue for alter operations
There are two places that can contain alter operations:
- the global queue: sma->pending_alter
- the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter.
Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd
priorization of the wakeups:
Right now, complex operations have priority over simple ops.
The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest
waiting operation has the highest priority.
This is done by using only one queue:
- if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used.
- otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used.

Enforce that ipc_rcu_alloc returns a cacheline aligned pointer on SMP.
Rationale:
The SysV sem code tries to move the main spinlock into a seperate cacheline
(____cacheline_aligned_in_smp). This works only if ipc_rcu_alloc returns
cacheline aligned pointers.
vmalloc and kmalloc return cacheline algined pointers, the implementation
of ipc_rcu_alloc breaks that.

wait: introduce prepare_to_wait_event()
Add the new helper, prepare_to_wait_event() which should only be used by
wait_event_common/etc.
prepare_to_wait_event() returns -ERESTARTSYS if signal_pending_state() is
true, otherwise it calls prepare_to_wait(). This allows to uninline the
signal-pending checks in wait_event_*.
Also, it can initialize wait->private/func. We do not care they were
already initialized, the values are the same. This also shaves a couple
of insns from the inlined code.
Unlike the previous change, this patch "reliably" shrinks the size of
generated code for every wait_event*() call,
1. 4c663cfc "fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout()"
is not enough, wait(wq, true, 0) still returns zero.
__wait_event_timeout() was already fixed but we need the same
logic in wait_event_timeout() if the fast-path check succeeds.
2. wait_event_timeout/__wait_event_timeout interface do not match
wait_event(), you can't use __wait_event_timeout() instead of
wait_event_timeout() if you do not need the fast-path check.
Same for wait_event_interruptible/__wait_event_interruptible,
so this patch cleanups rtlx.c, ip_vs_sync.c, and af_irda.c:
- __wait_event_interruptible(wq, cond, ret);
+ ret = __wait_event_interruptible(wq, cond);
3. wait_event_* macros duplicate the same code.
This patch adds a single helper wait_event_common() which hopefully
does everything right. Compiler optimizes out the "dead" code when
we do not need signal_pending/schedule_timeout.
In particular, wait_even_timeout(true, non_const_timeout) should
generate more code in the non-void context because the patch adds
the additional code to fix the 1st problem.

fork: reorder permissions when violating number of processes limits
When a task is attempting to violate the RLIMIT_NPROC limit we have a
check to see if the task is sufficiently priviledged. The check first
looks at CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, then if the task is uid=0.
A result is that tasks which are allowed by the uid=0 check are first
checked against the security subsystem. This results in the security
subsystem auditting a denial for sys_admin and sys_resource and then the
task passing the uid=0 check.
This patch rearranges the code to first check uid=0, since if we pass that
we shouldn't hit the security system at all. We then check sys_resource,
since it is the smallest capability which will solve the problem. Lastly
we check the fallback everything cap_sysadmin. We don't want to give this
capability many places since it is so powerful.
This will eliminate many of the false positive/needless denial messages we
get when a root task tries to violate the nproc limit. (note that
kthreads count against root, so on a sufficiently large machine we can
actually get past the default limits before any userspace tasks are
launched.)
