aoe: manipulate aoedev network stats under lock
With this bugfix in place the calculation of the criterion for "lateness"
is performed under lock. Without the lock, there is a chance that one of
the non-atomic operations performed on the round trip time statistics
could be incomplete, such that an incorrect lateness criterion would be
calculated.
Without this change, the effect of the bug would be rare unecessary but
benign retransmissions.

aoe: improve network congestion handling
The aoe driver already had some congestion handling, but it was limited in
its ability to cope with the kind of congestion that can arise on more
complex networks such as those involving paths through multiple ethernet

Some of the lessons from TCP's history of development can be applied to
improving the congestion control and avoidance on AoE storage networks.
These changes use familar concepts from Van Jacobson's "Congestion

This patch is required for checkpoint/restore in userspace.
c/r requires some way to get all pending IPC messages without deleting
them from the queue (checkpoint can fail and in this case tasks will be
resumed, so queue have to be valid).
To achive this, new operation flag MSG_COPY for sys_msgrcv() system call
was introduced. If this flag was specified, then mtype is interpreted as
number of the message to copy.
If MSG_COPY is set, then kernel will allocate dummy message with passed
size, and then use new copy_msg() helper function to copy desired message
(instead of unlinking it from the queue).
Notes:
1) Return -ENOSYS if MSG_COPY is specified, but
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is not set.

exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depth
To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive
scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon
as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back
up the chain, aborting immediately.
This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting
to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the
dash source:
The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked
the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC,
things continue to behave as the shell expects.
Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be
involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through
search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible
for tracking the depth.

exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stack
If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via
unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak
into the command line.
Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively.
However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the
bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching binfmt
modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and binfmt_misc does
not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp pointing to their
local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is left pointing into
unused stack memory which can then be copied into the userspace argv
areas.
After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains
the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As
such, we need to protect the changes to interp.
This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the
bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default
value is left as-is. Only when passing through binfmt_script or
binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.

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.

rtc: omap: kicker mechanism support
OMAP RTC IP can have kicker feature. This prevents spurious writes to
register. To write to registers kicker lock has to be released.
Procedure to do it as follows,
1. write to kick0 register, 0x83e70b13
2. write to kick1 register, 0x95a4f1e0
Writing value other than 0x83e70b13 to kick0 enables write locking, more
details about kicker mechanism can be found in section 20.3.3.5.3 of
AM335X TRM @www.ti.com/am335x
Here id table information is added and is used to distinguish those that
require kicker handling and the ones that doesn't need it. There are more
features in the newer IP's compared to legacy ones other than kicker,
which driver currently doesn't handle, supporting additional features
would be easier with the addition of id table.
Older IP (of OMAP1) doesn't have revision register as per TRM, so revision
register can't be relied always to find features, hence id table is being
used.
While at it, replace __raw_writeb/__raw_readb with writeb/readb; this
driver is used on ARMv7 (AM335X SoC)

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.
