sh: trapped io support V2
The idea is that we want to get rid of the in/out/readb/writeb callbacks from
the machvec and replace that with simple inline read and write operations to
memory. Fast and simple for most hardware devices (think pci).
Some devices require special treatment though - like 16-bit only CF devices -
so we need to have some method to hook in callbacks.
This patch makes it possible to add a per-device trap generating filter. This
way we can get maximum performance of sane hardware - which doesn't need this
filter - and crappy hardware works but gets punished by a performance hit.
V2 changes things around a bit and replaces io access callbacks with a
simple minimum_bus_width value. In the future we can add stride as well.

This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous
to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file
when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and
format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text
file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code,
analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for
kernels other than the one you are running right now.
The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define
the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the
__markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as
the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable
amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section
structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the
sun.

RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case
(one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a
supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.
- Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.
Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
callback instead of the marker site.
Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.
- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
armed.
Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.
This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".
If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.
It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :
Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

timeconst.pl: correct reversal of USEC_TO_HZ and HZ_TO_USEC
The USEC_TO_HZ and HZ_TO_USEC constant sets were mislabelled, with
seriously incorrect results. This among other things manifested
itself as cpufreq not working when a tickless kernel was configured.

[SCSI] sym53c416: fix module parameters
It looks like there's been a bug in the module parameter setup forever.
The upshot doesn't really matter, because even if no parameters are ever
set, we just call sym53c416_setup() three times, but the zero values in
the arrays eventually cause nothing to happen. Unfortunately gcc has
started to notice this now too:
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c: In function 'sym53c416_detect':
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c:624: warning: the address of 'sym53c416' will always evaluate as 'true'
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c:630: warning: the address of 'sym53c416_1' will always evaluate as 'true'
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c:636: warning: the address of 'sym53c416_2' will always evaluate as 'true'
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c:642: warning: the address of 'sym53c416_3' will always evaluate as 'true'
So fix this longstanding bug to keep gcc quiet.

WMI: initialize wmi_blocks.list even if ACPI is disabled
Even if we don't want to register the WMI driver, we should initialize
the wmi_blocks list to be empty, since we don't want the wmi helper
functions to oops just because that basic list has not even been set up.
With this, "find_guid()" will happily return "not found" rather than
oopsing all over the place, and the callers will then just automatically
return false or AE_NOT_FOUND as appropriate.

x86: vdso_install fix
The makefile magic for installing the 32-bit vdso images on disk had a
little error. A single-line change would fix that bug, but this does a
little more to reduce the error-prone duplication of this bit of
makefile variable magic.

mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodes
Kosaki Motohito noted that "numactl --interleave=all ..." failed in the
presence of memoryless nodes. This patch attempts to fix that problem.
Some background:
numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated
[out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask. set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()]
calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a
subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned.
A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
i.e., nodes with memory. So, a fully populated nodemask will be
declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes.
NOTE: the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset
with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason:
node mask contains dis-allowed nodes.
mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask
that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed.
In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will
complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any
memoryless nodes. This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove
memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called
by mpol_new() for BIND policy.
Proposed fix:
1) modify contextualize_policy logic to:
a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty.
b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is
currently done in-line for mbind(). This guarantees
that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory.
NOTE: this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for
set_mempolicy(). Dis-allowed nodes will be
silently ignored, rather than returning an error.
c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to
contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly
and remove contextualize_policy().
2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization":
a) MPOL_DEFAULT: require that in coming mask "was_empty"
b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}: require that contextualized nodemask
contains at least one node.
c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED: if in coming was not empty
and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes.
Return EINVAL.
c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes
3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave
policy from mpol_new().
4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove
the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind(). I believe that this
restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes
patch series. E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask
with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation.
[ Patch history:
v1 -> v2:
- Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to
mpol_check_policy() for better error checking.
- As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused
cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h
v2 -> v3:
- As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization"
of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy(). Looks a little
cleaner. ]

Be more robust about bad arguments in get_user_pages()
So I spent a while pounding my head against my monitor trying to figure
out the vmsplice() vulnerability - how could a failure to check for
*read* access turn into a root exploit? It turns out that it's a buffer
overflow problem which is made easy by the way get_user_pages() is
coded.
In particular, "len" is a signed int, and it is only checked at the
*end* of a do {} while() loop. So, if it is passed in as zero, the loop
will execute once and decrement len to -1. At that point, the loop will
proceed until the next invalid address is found; in the process, it will
likely overflow the pages array passed in to get_user_pages().
I think that, if get_user_pages() has been asked to grab zero pages,
that's what it should do. Thus this patch; it is, among other things,
enough to block the (already fixed) root exploit and any others which
might be lurking in similar code. I also think that the number of pages
should be unsigned, but changing the prototype of this function probably
requires some more careful review.
