[SKFILTER]: Add SKF_ADF_NLATTR instruction
SKF_ADF_NLATTR searches for a netlink attribute, which avoids manually
parsing and walking attributes. It takes the offset at which to start
searching in the 'A' register and the attribute type in the 'X' register
and returns the offset in the 'A' register. When the attribute is not
found it returns zero.
A top-level attribute can be located using a filter like this
(example for nfnetlink, using struct nfgenmsg):
Some minor style cleanups:
* Move __KERNEL__ definitions to one place in filter.h
* Use const for sk_filter_len
* Line wrapping
* Put EXPORT_SYMBOL next to function definition

mac80211: fix key vs. sta locking problems
Up to now, key manipulation is supposed to run under RTNL to
avoid concurrent manipulations and also allow the set_key()
hardware callback to sleep. This is not feasible because STA
structs are rcu-protected and thus a lot of operations there
cannot take the RTNL. Also, key references are rcu-protected
so we cannot do things atomically.
This patch changes key locking completely:
* key operations are now atomic
* hardware crypto offload is enabled and disabled from
a workqueue, due to that key freeing is also delayed
* debugfs code is also run from a workqueue
* keys reference STAs (and vice versa!) so during STA
unlink the STAs key reference is removed but not the
keys STA reference, to avoid races key todo work is
run before STA destruction.
* fewer STA operations now need the RTNL which was
required due to key operations
This fixes the locking problems lockdep pointed out and also
makes things more light-weight because the rtnl isn't required
as much.
Note that the key todo lock/key mutex are global locks, this
is not required, of course, they could be per-hardware instead.

This is a complete rewrite of the old PIO code. It does actually work

On a PowerBook G4 I get a few MBit for TX and a few more for RX.
So it doesn't work as well as DMA (of course), but it's a _lot_ faster
than the old PIO code (only got a few kBit with that).
The limiting factor is the host CPU speed. So it will generate 100%
CPU usage when the network interface is heavily loaded. A voluntary preemption
point in the RX path makes sure Desktop Latency isn't hurt.
PIO is needed for 16bit PCMCIA devices, as we really don't want to poke with

alpha: get_current(): don't add zero to current_thread_info()->task
A nasty compile error:
In file included from security/keys/internal.h:16,
from security/keys/sysctl.c:14:
include/linux/key-ui.h: In function 'key_permission':
include/linux/key-ui.h:51: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct task_struct'
apparently the compiler has decided that it needs to know sizeof(task_struct)
so that it can add zero to a task_struct* (which is rather dumb of it).
Getting task_struct in scope in these deeply-nested headers is scary-looking,
so let's just remove the "+ 0".

Markers do not mix well with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU because it uses
preempt_disable/enable() and not rcu_read_lock/unlock for minimal
intrusiveness. We would need call_sched and sched_barrier primitives.
Currently, the modification (connection and disconnection) of probes
from markers requires changes to the data structure done in RCU-style :
a new data structure is created, the pointer is changed atomically, a
quiescent state is reached and then the old data structure is freed.
The quiescent state is reached once all the currently running
preempt_disable regions are done running. We use the call_rcu mechanism
to execute kfree() after such quiescent state has been reached.
However, the new CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of call_rcu and rcu_barrier
does not guarantee that all preempt_disable code regions have finished,
hence the race.
The "proper" way to do this is to use rcu_read_lock/unlock, but we don't
want to use it to minimize intrusiveness on the traced system. (we do
not want the marker code to call into much of the OS code, because it
would quickly restrict what can and cannot be instrumented, such as the
scheduler).
The temporary fix, until we get call_rcu_sched and rcu_barrier_sched in
mainline, is to use synchronize_sched before each call_rcu calls, so we
wait for the quiescent state in the system call code path. It will slow
down batch marker enable/disable, but will make sure the race is gone.

Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine.
This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The
vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following:
# makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
_exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node.
makedumpfile Failed.
#
The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data.
If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an
x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile
misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it
cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly.
To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a
vmcoreinfo data.
