In get_sample_period(), softlockup_thresh is integer divided by
5 before the multiplication by NSEC_PER_SEC. This results in
softlockup_thresh being rounded down to the nearest integer
multiple of 5.
For example, a softlockup_thresh of 4 rounds down to 0.

Better handle event parsing error by propagating the details
in upper layers or by dumping some failure message. So that
the user knows he has some crazy events in the batch.

extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs define _sdata
A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.
Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
volatile memory (memory that can be freed).
This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
otherwise.
Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
and document the function.

selinux: de-crapify avc cache stat code generation
You can turn off the avc cache stats, but distributions seem to not do
that (perhaps because several performance tuning how-to's talk about the
avc cache statistics).
Which is sad, because the code it generates is truly horrendous, with
the statistics update being sandwitched between get_cpu/put_cpu which in
turn causes preemption disables etc. We're talking ten+ instructions
just to increment a per-cpu variable in some pretty hot code.
Fix the craziness by just using 'this_cpu_inc()' instead. Suddenly we
only need a single 'inc' instruction to increment the statistics. This
is quite noticeable in the incredibly hot avc_has_perm_noaudit()
function (which triggers all the statistics by virtue of doing an
avc_lookup() call).

signal.h need a definition of struct task_struct
This fixes these build errors on powerpc:
In file included from arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c:18:
include/linux/signal.h:239: error: 'struct task_struct' declared inside parameter list
include/linux/signal.h:239: error: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
include/linux/signal.h:240: error: 'struct task_struct' declared inside parameter list
..
Exposed by commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular
list iterators"), which removed the include of <linux/prefetch.h> from
<linux/list.h>.
Without that, linux/signal.h no longer accidentally got the declaration
of 'struct task_struct'.
Fix by properly declaring the struct, rather than introducing any new
header file dependency.

list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators
This is removes the use of software prefetching from the regular list
iterators. We don't want it. If you do want to prefetch in some
iterator of yours, go right ahead. Just don't expect the iterator to do
it, since normally the downsides are bigger than the upsides.
It also replaces <linux/prefetch.h> with <linux/const.h>, because the
use of LIST_POISON ends up needing it. <linux/poison.h> is sadly not
self-contained, and including prefetch.h just happened to hide that.
Suggested by David Miller (networking has a lot of regular lists that
are often empty or a single entry, and prefetching is not going to do
anything but add useless instructions).

hlist: remove software prefetching in hlist iterators
They not only increase the code footprint, they actually make things
slower rather than faster. On internationally acclaimed benchmarks
("make -j16" on an already fully built kernel source tree) the hlist
prefetching slows down the build by up to 1%.
(Almost all of it comes from hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() as used by
avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which is very hot due to all the pathname
lookups to see if there is anything to do).
The cause seems to be two-fold:
- on at least some Intel cores, prefetch(NULL) ends up with some
microarchitectural stall due to the TLB miss that it incurs. The
hlist case triggers this very commonly, since the NULL pointer is the
last entry in the list.
- the prefetch appears to cause more D$ activity, probably because it
prefetches hash list entries that are never actually used (because we
ended the search early due to a hit).
Regardless, the numbers clearly say that the implicit prefetching is
simply a bad idea. If some _particular_ user of the hlist iterators
wants to prefetch the next list entry, they can do so themselves
explicitly, rather than depend on all list iterators doing so
implicitly.

kmemleak: Initialise kmemleak after debug_objects_mem_init()
Kmemleak frees objects via RCU and when CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD
is enabled, the RCU callback triggers a call to free_object() in
lib/debugobjects.c. Since kmemleak is initialised before debug objects
initialisation, it may result in a kernel panic during booting. This
patch moves the kmemleak_init() call after debug_objects_mem_init().
kmemleak: Select DEBUG_FS unconditionally in DEBUG_KMEMLEAK
In the past DEBUG_FS used to depend on SYSFS and DEBUG_KMEMLEAK selected
it conditionally. This is no longer the case, so always select DEBUG_FS
via DEBUG_KMEMLEAK.
kmemleak: Do not return a pointer to an object that kmemleak did not get
The kmemleak_seq_next() function tries to get an object (and increment
its use count) before returning it. If it could not get the last object
during list traversal (because it may have been freed), the function
should return NULL rather than a pointer to such object that it did not
get.

Impact for nommu:

- Implement sys_mremap and sys_nfsservct,
- Remove unused padding at the end of the table.

m68k: bitops - Never step beyond the end of the bitmap
find_next bitops on m68k (find_next_zero_bit, find_next_bit, and
find_next_bit_le) may cause out of bounds memory access
when the bitmap size in bits % 32 != 0 and offset (the bitnumber
to start searching at) is very close to the bitmap size.
1. find_next_bit() tries to find any set bits in bitmap[1],
but no bits set.
2. Then find_first_bit(bimap + 2, -1)
3. Unfortunately find_first_bit() takes unsigned int as the size argument.
4. find_first_bit will access bitmap[2~] until it find any set bits.
Add missing tests for stepping beyond the end of the bitmap to all
find_{first,next}_*() functions, and make sure they never return a value
larger than the bitmap size.

We are generating the prefix based on the PCI bus address the device is
on. This is done like Broadcom does it in their code expect that the the
bus number is increased by one. In the SB bus implementation used by
Broadcom the SB bus emulates a PCI bus so the kernel sees one PCI bus
more then in our implementation. We do not handle prefixes like sb/1/
yet as they are only used on the new bus which is not implemented yet.
