This false positive is due to field padding in struct sigqueue. When
this dynamically allocated structure is copied to the stack (in arch-
specific delivery code), kmemcheck sees a read from the padding, which
is, naturally, uninitialized.
Hide the false positive using the __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag.
Also made the rlimit override code a bit clearer by introducing a new
variable.

This false positive is due to the fact that do_mount_root() fakes a
mount option (which is normally read from userspace), and the kernel
unconditionally reads a whole page for the mount option.
Hide the false positive by using the new __getname_gfp() with the
__GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag.

The purpose of this change is to allow __getname() users to pass a
custom GFP mask to kmem_cache_alloc(). This is needed for annotating
a certain kmemcheck false positive.

kmemcheck reports a use of uninitialized memory here, but it's not
a real error. The structure in question has just been allocated, and
the whole field is initialized, but it happens in two steps.
We fix the false positive by inserting a kmemcheck annotation.

Add the bitfield API which can be used to annotate bitfields in structs
and get rid of false positive reports.
According to Al Viro, the syntax we were using (putting #ifdef inside
macro arguments) was not valid C. He also suggested using begin/end
markers instead, which is what we do now.

We've had some troubles in the past with weird instructions. This
patch adds a self-test framework which can be used to verify that
a certain set of opcodes are decoded correctly. Of course, the
opcodes which are not tested can still give the wrong results.
In short, this is just a safeguard to catch unintentional changes
in the opcode decoder. It does not mean that errors can't still
occur!

The Kconfig options of kmemcheck are hidden under arch/x86 which makes porting

With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this:
1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of
each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or
uninitialized.
2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized.
There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and
"recently freed".
If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return
memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck.
If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still
request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page
faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being
initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object.
In addition to (and in contrast to) __GFP_NOTRACK, the
__GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag indicates that the allocation should
not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive. Their values
are identical, but need not be so in the future (for example, we could now
enable/disable false positives with a config option).

atomicity.

The hooks that we modify are:
- Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults)
- Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping
the instruction that caused the page fault)
Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is
enabled.
(Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault
handler.)
As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable
the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation
in order to avoid false-positive warnings.
