aeeae86859 Fix build errors due to CONFIG_BRANCH_TRACER=y
The code that enables branch tracing for all (non-constant) branches
plays games with the preprocessor and #define's the C 'if ()' construct
to do tracing.

That's all fine, but it fails for some unusual but valid C code that is
sometimes used in macros, notably by the intel-iommu code:

	if (i=drhd->iommu, drhd->ignored) ..

because now the preprocessor complains about multiple arguments to the
'if' macro.

So make the macro expansion of this particularly horrid trick use
varargs, and handle the case of comma-expressions in if-statements.  Use
another macro to do it cleanly in just one place.

This replaces a patch by David (and acked by Steven) that did this all
inside that one already-too-horrid macro.

612392307c nilfs2: support nanosecond timestamp
After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility
issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode;
CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs
didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk.  A few users gave us the report
that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs,
and it turned out to be the cause.

Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support
nanosecond timestamps on this occation.  Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit
field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this
purpose without impact for the users.

So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem.

e339ad31f5 nilfs2: introduce secondary super block
The former versions didn't have extra super blocks.  This improves the
weak point by introducing another super block at unused region in tail of
the partition.

This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore
the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't
exist.  The partition created by an old mkfs may not have unused region,
but in that case, the secondary super block will not be added.

This doesn't make more redundant copies of the super block; it is a future
work.

c96fa464a5 nilfs2: mark minor flag for checkpoint created by internal operation
Nilfs creates checkpoints even for garbage collection or metadata updates
such as checkpoint mode change.  So, user often sees checkpoints created
only by such internal operations.

This is inconvenient in some situations.  For example, application that
monitors checkpoints and changes them to snapshots, will fall into an
infinite loop because it cannot distinguish internally created
checkpoints.

This patch solves this sort of problem by adding a flag to checkpoint for
identification.

458c5b0822 nilfs2: clean up sketch file
The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data.  It was
experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now
obsolete.  The file was handled differently with regular files; the file
size got truncated when a checkpoint was created.

This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file.
Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.

2c2e52fc4f nilfs2: extend nilfs_sustat ioctl struct
This adds a new argument to the nilfs_sustat structure.

The extended field allows to delete volatile active state of segments,
which was needed to protect freshly-created segments from garbage
collection but has confused code dealing with segments.  This
extension alleviates the mess and gives room for further
simplifications.

The volatile active flag is not persistent, so it's eliminable on this
occasion without affecting compatibility other than the ioctl change.

dc498d09be nilfs2: use fixed sized types for ioctl structures
Nilfs ioctl had structures not having fixed sized types such as:

  struct nilfs_argv {
         void *v_base;
         size_t v_nmembs;
         size_t v_size;
         int v_index;
         int v_flags;
  };

Further, some of them are wrongly aligned:

  e.g.

  struct nilfs_cpmode {
        __u64 cm_cno;
        int cm_mode;
  };

The size of wrongly aligned structures varies depending on
architectures, and it breaks the identity of ioctl commands, which
leads to arch dependent errors.

Previously, these are compensated by using compat_ioctl.

This fixes these problems and allows removal of compat ioctl.

Since this will change sizes of those structures, binary compatibility
for the past utilities will once break; new utilities have to be used
instead.  However, it would be helpful to avoid platform dependent
problems in the long term.

1088dcf4c3 nilfs2: remove timedwait ioctl command
This removes NILFS_IOCTL_TIMEDWAIT command from ioctl interface along
with the related flags and wait queue.

The command is terrible because it just sleeps in the ioctl.  I prefer
to avoid this by devising means of event polling in userland program.
By reconsidering the userland GC daemon, I found this is possible
without changing behaviour of the daemon and sacrificing efficiency.

7eafd7c74c namespaces: ipc namespaces: implement support for posix msqueues
Implement multiple mounts of the mqueue file system, and link it to usage
of CLONE_NEWIPC.

Each ipc ns has a corresponding mqueuefs superblock.  When a user does
clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), the unshare will cause an
internal mount of a new mqueuefs sb linked to the new ipc ns.

When a user does 'mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue', he mounts the
mqueuefs superblock.

Posix message queues can be worked with both through the mq_* system calls
(see mq_overview(7)), and through the VFS through the mqueue mount.  Any
usage of mq_open() and friends will work with the acting task's ipc
namespace.  Any actions through the VFS will work with the mqueuefs in
which the file was created.  So if a user doesn't remount mqueuefs after
unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), mq_open("/ab") will not be reflected in "ls
/dev/mqueue".

If task a mounts mqueue for ipc_ns:1, then clones task b with a new ipcns,
ipcns:2, and then task a is the last task in ipc_ns:1 to exit, then (1)
ipc_ns:1 will be freed, (2) it's superblock will live on until task b
umounts the corresponding mqueuefs, and vfs actions will continue to
succeed, but (3) sb->s_fs_info will be NULL for the sb corresponding to
the deceased ipc_ns:1.

To make this happen, we must protect the ipc reference count when

a) a task exits and drops its ipcns->count, since it might be dropping
   it to 0 and freeing the ipcns

b) a task accesses the ipcns through its mqueuefs interface, since it
   bumps the ipcns refcount and might race with the last task in the ipcns
   exiting.

So the kref is changed to an atomic_t so we can use
atomic_dec_and_lock(&ns->count,mq_lock), and every access to the ipcns
through ns = mqueuefs_sb->s_fs_info is protected by the same lock.

Move mqueue vfsmount plus a few tunables into the ipc_namespace struct.

The sysctl code will be fixed separately in patch 3.  After just this

in the initial ipc namespace.

enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe.

aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes.  On the
other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it
because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers
and usually those help error handling.

fafd688e4c mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threads
Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and
maximum number of pdflush threads.  This allows finer control of pdflush
on both large and small machines.

The rationale is simply one size does not fit all.  Admins on large and/or
small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best
suit their needs.  Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8.  While
probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large
numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit
from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices.

Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is
still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still
desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the
kernel.

The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and
'/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions.

The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is
the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max.  This minimum is required
since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself.

The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of
nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000.

Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

d9ad8bc0ca branch tracer: Fix for enabling branch profiling makes sparse unusable
One of the changes between kernels 2.6.28 and 2.6.29 is that a branch profiler
has been added for if() statements. Unfortunately this patch makes the sparse
output unusable with CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING=y: when branch profiling is
enabled, sparse prints so much false positives that the real issues are no
longer visible. This behavior can be reproduced as follows:
* enable CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING, e.g. by running make allyesconfig or
  make allmodconfig.
* run make C=2

Result: a huge number of the following sparse warnings.
...
include/linux/cpumask.h:547:2: warning: symbol '______r' shadows an earlier one
include/linux/cpumask.h:547:2: originally declared here
...

The patch below fixes this by disabling branch profiling while analyzing the
kernel code with sparse.

2c03d07ad5 hwmon: Add Asus ATK0110 support
Asus boards have an ACPI interface for interacting with the hwmon (fan,
temperatures, voltages) subsystem; this driver exposes the relevant
information via the standard sysfs interface.

There are two different ACPI interfaces:
- an old one (based on RVLT/RFAN/RTMP)
- a new one (GGRP/GITM)
Both may be present but there a few cases (my board, sigh) where the
new interface is just an empty stub; the driver defaults to the old one
when both are present.
The old interface has received a considerable testing, but I'm still
awaiting confirmation from my tester that the new one is working as
expected (hence the debug code is still enabled).

Currently all the attributes are read-only, though a (partial) control
should be possible with a bit more work.

5ac9f62267 function-graph: add proper initialization for init task
Impact: fix to crash going to kexec

The init task did not properly initialize the function graph pointers.
Altough these pointers are NULL, they can not be assumed to be NULL
for the init task, and must still be properly initialize.

This usually is not an issue since a problem only arises when a task
exits, and the init tasks do not usually exit. But when doing tests
with kexec, the init tasks do exit, and the bug appears.

This patch properly initializes the init tasks function graph data
structures.

3fbed4c61a mflash: initial support
This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux.

Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer
electronic devices.

Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports 2
different operation (ATA, IO) modes.  ATA mode doesn't need any new driver
and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem.  Actually it's one
chip SSD.  IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have
IDE interface.

Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode.
A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm,
write confirm)
B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface.
C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash.

This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of
following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer.

1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol.  ATA layer have many low-
   level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule.
   But, mflash IO mode doesn't.

2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has
   some custom command and modes.  (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If
   this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered.

3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt.
   (I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for
   debug).

4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product.  Even though some company
   already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for
   standardization of custom command and mode.  That time (maybe October)
   I will talk to with ATA people.  If they accept integration, I will
   integrate.
