ccdb40048b lib: fix the use of LZO to decompress initramfs images
This patch fixes 2 issues with the LZO decompressor:

- It doesn't handle the case where a block isn't compressed at all.  In
  this case, calling lzo1x_decompress_safe will fail, so we need to just
  use memcpy() instead (the upstream LZO code does something similar)

- Since commit 54291362d2 ("initramfs: add
  missing decompressor error check") , the decompressor return code is
  checked in the init/initramfs.c The LZO decompressor didn't return the
  expected value, causing the initramfs code to falsely believe a
  decompression error occured

4e310fda91 vsprintf: Change struct printf_spec.precision from s8 to s16
Commit ef0658f3de changed precision
from int to s8.

There is existing kernel code that uses a larger precision.

An example from the audit code:
	vsnprintf(...,..., " msg='%.1024s'", (char *)data);
which overflows precision and truncates to nothing.

Extending precision size fixes the audit system issue.

Other changes:

Change the size of the struct printf_spec.type from u16 to u8 so
sizeof(struct printf_spec) stays as small as possible.
Reorder the struct members so sizeof(struct printf_spec) remains 64 bits
without alignment holes.
Document the struct members a bit more.

ce82653d6c radix_tree_tag_get() is not as safe as the docs make out [ver #2]
radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
or radix_tree_tag_clear().  The problem is that the double tag_get() in
radix_tree_tag_get():

		if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
			saw_unset_tag = 1;
		if (height == 1) {
			int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);

may see the value change due to the action of set/clear.  RCU is no protection
against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.

The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
functions reading the tree".

The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
tag doesn't vary over time:

			BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag);

This has been seen happening in FS-Cache:

	https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html

To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
running concurrently with it.

3eac4abaa6 rwsem generic spinlock: use IRQ save/restore spinlocks
rwsems can be used with IRQs disabled, particularily in early boot
before IRQs are enabled.  Currently the spin_unlock_irq() usage in the
slow-patch will unconditionally enable interrupts and cause problems
since interrupts are not yet initialized or enabled.

This patch uses save/restore versions of IRQ spinlocks in the slowpath
to ensure interrupts are not unintentionally disabled.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

lcm() was defined to take integer-sized arguments.  The supplied
arguments are multiplied, however, causing us to overflow given

b8fa05719b Revert "lib: build list_sort() only if needed"
This reverts commit a069c266ae.

It turns ou that not only was it missing a case (XFS) that needed it,
but perhaps more importantly, people sometimes want to enable new
modules that they hadn't had enabled before, and if such a module uses
list_sort(), it can't easily be inserted any more.

So rather than add a "select LIST_SORT" to the XFS case, just leave it
compiled in.  It's not all _that_ big, after all, and the inconvenience
isn't worth it.

835cc0c847 lib: more scalable list_sort()
XFS and UBIFS can pass long lists to list_sort(); this alternative
implementation scales better, reaching ~3x performance gain when list
length exceeds the L2 cache size.

Stand-alone program timings were run on a Core 2 duo L1=32KB L2=4MB,
gcc-4.4, with flags extracted from an Ubuntu kernel build.  Object size is
581 bytes compared to 455 for Mark J.  Roberts' code.

Worst case for either implementation is a list length just over a power of
two, and to roughly the same degree, so here are timing results for a
range of 2^N+1 lengths.  List elements were 16 bytes each including malloc
overhead; initial order was random.

Mark's code does not actually implement the usual or generic mergesort,
but rather a variant from Simon Tatham described here:

    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/algorithms/listsort.html

Simon's algorithm performs O(log N) passes over the entire input list,
doing merges of sublists that double in size on each pass.  The generic
algorithm instead merges pairs of equal length lists as early as possible,
in recursive order.  For either algorithm, the elements that extend the
list beyond power-of-two length are a special case, handled as nearly as
possible as a "rounding-up" to a full POT.

Some intuition for the locality of reference implications of merge order
may be gotten by watching this animation:

    http://www.sorting-algorithms.com/merge-sort

Simon's algorithm requires only O(1) extra space rather than the generic
algorithm's O(log N), but in my non-recursive implementation the actual
O(log N) data is merely a vector of ~20 pointers, which I've put on the
stack.

Long-running list_sort() calls: If the list passed in may be long, or the
client's cmp() callback function is slow, the client's cmp() may
periodically invoke cond_resched() to voluntarily yield the CPU.  All
inner loops of list_sort() call back to cmp().

Stability of the sort: distinct elements that compare equal emerge from
the sort in the same order as with Mark's code, for simple test cases.  A
boot-time test is provided to verify this and other correctness
requirements.

A kernel that uses drm.ko appears to run normally with this change; I have
no suitable hardware to similarly test the use by UBIFS.

0347af4ee3 lkdtm: add debugfs access and loosen KPROBE ties
Add adds a debugfs interface and additional failure modes to LKDTM to
provide similar functionality to the provoke-crash driver submitted here:

  http://lwn.net/Articles/371208/

Crashes can now be induced either through module parameters (as before)
or through the debugfs interface as in provoke-crash.

The patch also provides a new "direct" interface, where KPROBES are not
used, i.e., the crash is invoked directly upon write to the debugfs
file. When built without KPROBES configured, only this mode is available.

84c6f88fc8 perf lock: Fix and add misc documentally things
I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt,
so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'.

Fixing command-list.txt requires document
(tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt).
But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a
stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now.

And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of
CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, this will navigate users of lock trace events.
