62733e5a5a [S390] cio: move scsw helper functions to header file
All scsw helper functions are very short and usage of them shouldn't
result in function calls. Therefore we move them to a separate header
file.
Also saves a lot of EXPORT_SYMBOLs.

1f1148c88a [S390] cio: fix ineffective verify event
Path verification events occurring for offline devices are currently
ignored. As a result, offline devices are not removed, even though
they might no longer be accessible (for example because the last path
to the device was varied offline). Fix this by scheduling a status
evaluation for the affected subchannel when a path verification event
occurs.

d993831fa7 writeback: add name to backing_dev_info
This enables us to track who does what and print info. Its main use
is catching dirty inodes on the default_backing_dev_info, so we can
fix that up.

03ba3782e8 writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data
This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning.
pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more
threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a
non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy
behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved
for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that
does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive
during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in
vmstat:

A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A
SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with
the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only
manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered
writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed
writes.

A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term,
adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again.

66f3b8e2e1 writeback: move dirty inodes from super_block to backing_dev_info
This is a first step at introducing per-bdi flusher threads. We should
have no change in behaviour, although sb_has_dirty_inodes() is now
ridiculously expensive, as there's no easy way to answer that question.
Not a huge problem, since it'll be deleted in subsequent patches.

d8a8559cd7 writeback: get rid of generic_sync_sb_inodes() export
This adds two new exported functions:

- writeback_inodes_sb(), which only attempts to writeback dirty inodes on
  this super_block, for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout.
- sync_inodes_sb(), which writes out all dirty inodes on this super_block
  and also waits for the IO to complete.

78d5ae39af ahci: kill @force_restart and refine CLO for ahci_kick_engine()
This patch refines ahci_kick_engine() after discussion with Tejun about
FBS(FIS-based switching) support preparation:
a. Kill @force_restart and always kick the engine. The only case where
   @force_restart is zero is when it's called from ahci_p5wdh_hardreset()
   Actually at that point, BSY is pretty much guaranteed to be set.
b. If PMP is attached, ignore busy and always do CLO. (AHCI-1.3 9.2)

0d03d59d9b md: Fix "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined!
Commit b8313b6da7 ("dm log: remove incorrect
field from userspace table output") added a call to strstr() with a
single-character "needle" string parameter.

Unfortunately some versions of gcc replace such calls to strstr() by calls
to strchr() behind our back.  This causes linking errors if strchr() is
defined as an inline function in <asm/string.h> (e.g. on m68k):

| WARNING: "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined!

Avoid this by explicitly calling strchr() instead.

e1f8450854 sched: Fix sched::sched_stat_wait tracepoint field

Is caused by setting one component field of the delta to zero
a bit too early. Move it to later.

( Note, this does not affect the NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS interactivity bug,
  it's just a reporting bug in essence. )

3f2aa307c4 sched: Disable NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS for now
Nikos Chantziaras and Jens Axboe reported that turning off
NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS improves desktop interactivity visibly.

Nikos described his experiences the following way:

  " With this setting, I can do "nice -n 19 make -j20" and
    still have a very smooth desktop and watch a movie at
    the same time.  Various other annoyances (like the
    "logout/shutdown/restart" dialog of KDE not appearing
    at all until the background fade-out effect has finished)
    are also gone.  So this seems to be the single most
    important setting that vastly improves desktop behavior,
    at least here. "

Jens described it the following way, referring to a 10-seconds
xmodmap scheduling delay he was trying to debug:

  " Then I tried switching NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS on, and then
    I get:

    Performance counter stats for 'xmodmap .xmodmap-carl':

         9.009137  task-clock-msecs         #      0.447 CPUs
               18  context-switches         #      0.002 M/sec
                1  CPU-migrations           #      0.000 M/sec
              315  page-faults              #      0.035 M/sec

    0.020167093  seconds time elapsed

    Woot! "

So disable it for now. In perf trace output i can see weird
delta timestamps:

  cc1-9943  [001]  2802.059479616: sched_stat_wait: task: as:9944 wait: 2801938766276 [ns]

That nsec field is not supposed to be that large. More digging
is needed - but lets turn it off while the real bug is found.

9f0ab4a3f0 binfmt_elf: fix PT_INTERP bss handling
In fs/binfmt_elf.c, load_elf_interp() calls padzero() for .bss even if
the PT_LOAD has no PROT_WRITE and no .bss.  This generates EFAULT.

Here is a small test case.  (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP
which have only .text and no .data/.bss.)

	----- ptinterp.S
	_start: .globl _start
		 nop
		 int3
	-----
	$ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S
	$ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c
	$ ./hello
	Segmentation fault  # during execve() itself

	After applying the patch:
	$ ./hello
	Trace trap  # user-mode execution after execve() finishes

If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine.
But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if
there is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e. bss).  John Reiser
suggested checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic.  I think it makes
most sense to simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss.

This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation.
It just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the
partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.

ec57935837 TPM: Fixup boot probe timeout for tpm_tis driver
When probing the device in tpm_tis_init the call request_locality
uses timeout_a, which wasn't being initalized until after
request_locality. This results in request_locality falsely timing
out if the chip is still starting. Move the initialization to before
request_locality.

This probably only matters for embedded cases (ie mine), a BIOS likely
gets the TPM into a state where this code path isn't necessary.

ddd29ec659 sysfs: Add labeling support for sysfs
This patch adds a setxattr handler to the file, directory, and symlink
inode_operations structures for sysfs. The patch uses hooks introduced in the
previous patch to handle the getting and setting of security information for
the sysfs inodes. As was suggested by Eric Biederman the struct iattr in the
sysfs_dirent structure has been replaced by a structure which contains the
iattr, secdata and secdata length to allow the changes to persist in the event
that the inode representing the sysfs_dirent is evicted. Because sysfs only
stores this information when a change is made all the optional data is moved
into one dynamically allocated field.

This patch addresses an issue where SELinux was denying virtd access to the PCI
configuration entries in sysfs. The lack of setxattr handlers for sysfs
required that a single label be assigned to all entries in sysfs. Granting virtd
access to every entry in sysfs is not an acceptable solution so fine grained
labeling of sysfs is required such that individual entries can be labeled
appropriately.

[sds:  Fixed compile-time warnings, coding style, and setting of inode security init flags.]

1ee65e37e9 LSM/SELinux: inode_{get,set,notify}secctx hooks to access LSM security context information.
This patch introduces three new hooks. The inode_getsecctx hook is used to get
all relevant information from an LSM about an inode. The inode_setsecctx is
used to set both the in-core and on-disk state for the inode based on a context
derived from inode_getsecctx.The final hook inode_notifysecctx will notify the
LSM of a change for the in-core state of the inode in question. These hooks are
for use in the labeled NFS code and addresses concerns of how to set security
on an inode in a multi-xattr LSM. For historical reasons Stephen Smalley's
explanation of the reason for these hooks is pasted below.

Quote Stephen Smalley

inode_setsecctx:  Change the security context of an inode.  Updates the
in core security context managed by the security module and invokes the
fs code as needed (via __vfs_setxattr_noperm) to update any backing
xattrs that represent the context.  Example usage:  NFS server invokes
this hook to change the security context in its incore inode and on the
backing file system to a value provided by the client on a SETATTR
operation.

inode_notifysecctx:  Notify the security module of what the security
context of an inode should be.  Initializes the incore security context
managed by the security module for this inode.  Example usage:  NFS
client invokes this hook to initialize the security context in its
incore inode to the value provided by the server for the file when the
server returned the file's attributes to the client.
