Fix a long standing bug with per device locking.
Each device has an associated spinlock for synchronizing access to
hardware and state information with the ISR. A single hardware card has
one or more devices.
Bug: Non ISR code correctly acquires and releases the per device lock.
ISR incorrectly always acquires and releases the lock of the first device
on the card.
The decoupled and list based nature of the ISR and deferred processing
interaction allowed this to work in normal operation. Exceptional events
like an application forcing hardware shutdown, reset, or reconfiguration
while active can trigger the bug.
Fixed ISR to acquire and release the per device lock.
One exception is manipulation of the GPIO card resource which is global
and effectively owned by the first device of the card. Non-ISR access to
GPIO resource is changed to use lock of first device on card.

The kernel currently provides no functionality to analyze the RSS and swap
space usage of each individual sysvipc shared memory segment.
This patch adds this info for each existing shm segment by extending the
output of /proc/sysvipc/shm by two columns for RSS and swap.
Since shmctl(SHM_INFO) already provides a similiar calculation (it
currently sums up all RSS/swap info for all segments), I did split out a
static function which is now used by the /proc/sysvipc/shm output and
shmctl(SHM_INFO).
SAP products (esp. the SAP Netweaver ABAP Kernel) uses lots of big shared
memory segments (we often have Linux systems with >= 16GB shm usage).
Sometimes we get customer reports about "slow" system responses and while
looking into their configurations we often find massive swapping activity
on the system. With this patch it's now easy to see from the command line
if and which shm segments gets swapped out (and how much) and can more
easily give recommendations for system tuning. Without the patch it's
currently not possible to do such shm analysis at all.
Also...
Add some spaces in front of the "size" field for 64bit kernels to get the
columns correct if you cat the contents of the file. In
sysvipc_shm_proc_show() the kernel prints the size value in "SPEC_SIZE"
format, which is defined like this:
#if BITS_PER_LONG <= 32
#define SIZE_SPEC "%10lu"
#else
#define SIZE_SPEC "%21lu"
#endif
So, if the header is not adjusted, the columns are not correctly aligned.
I actually tested this on 32- and 64-bit and it seems correct now.

Presently do_execve() turns PF_KTHREAD off before search_binary_handler().
THis has a theorical risk of PF_KTHREAD getting lost. We don't have to
turn PF_KTHREAD off in the ENOEXEC case.
This patch moves this flag modification to after the finding of the
executable file.
This is only a theorical issue because kthreads do not call do_execve()
directly. But fixing would be better.

In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each
irq's events on all cpus. But we can make use of kstat_irqs().
kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ,
it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.)
If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does
for_each_irq()
for_each_cpu()
- look up a radix tree
- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]
This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for
CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as
for_each_irq()
look up radix tree
for_each_cpu()
- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]
This reduces cost.

/proc/stat shows the total number of all interrupts to each cpu. But when
the number of IRQs are very large, it take very long time and 'cat
/proc/stat' takes more than 10 secs. This is because sum of all irq
events are counted when /proc/stat is read. This patch adds "sum of all
irq" counter percpu and reduce read costs.
The cost of reading /proc/stat is important because it's used by major
applications as 'top', 'ps', 'w', etc....

We met a parameter truncated issue, consider following:

/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
This is okay because the strings is less than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. "cat
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" shows the whole string. but after we run
core_pattern_pipe_test in man page, we found last parameter was truncated
like below:
argc[10]=<12807486>
The root cause is core_pattern allows % specifiers, which need to be
replaced during parse time, but the replace may expand the strings to
larger than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. So if the last parameter is % specifiers,
the replace code is using snprintf(out_ptr, out_end - out_ptr, ...), this
will write out of corename array.

Since userspace API of ptrace syscall defines @addr and @data as void
pointers, it would be more appropriate to define them as unsigned long in
kernel. Therefore related functions are changed also.
'unsigned long' is typically used in other places in kernel as an opaque
data type and that using this helps cleaning up a lot of warnings from
sparse.
