Paul Moore 2b980dbd77 lsm: Add hooks to the TUN driver
The TUN driver lacks any LSM hooks which makes it difficult for LSM modules,
such as SELinux, to enforce access controls on network traffic generated by
TUN users; this is particularly problematic for virtualization apps such as
QEMU and KVM.  This patch adds three new LSM hooks designed to control the
creation and attachment of TUN devices, the hooks are:

 * security_tun_dev_create()
   Provides access control for the creation of new TUN devices

 * security_tun_dev_post_create()
   Provides the ability to create the necessary socket LSM state for newly
   created TUN devices

 * security_tun_dev_attach()
   Provides access control for attaching to existing, persistent TUN devices
   and the ability to update the TUN device's socket LSM state as necessary

Heiko Carstens bb7bed0825 locking: Simplify spinlock inlining
For !DEBUG_SPINLOCK && !PREEMPT && SMP the spin_unlock()
functions were always inlined by using special defines which
would call the __raw* functions.

The out-of-line variants for these functions would be generated
anyway.

Use the new per unlock/locking variant mechanism to force
inlining of the unlock functions like before. This is not a
functional change, we just get rid of one additional way to
force inlining.

Heiko Carstens 892a7c67c1 locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks
This allows an architecture to specify per lock variant if the
locking code should be kept out-of-line or inlined.

If an architecure wants out-of-line locking code no change is
needed. To force inlining of e.g. spin_lock() the line:

  #define __always_inline__spin_lock

needs to be added to arch/<...>/include/asm/spinlock.h

If CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK or CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK are
defined the per architecture defines are (partly) ignored and
still out-of-line spinlock code will be generated.

Li Zefan 8e254c1d18 tracing/filters: Defer pred allocation
init_preds() allocates about 5392 bytes of memory (on x86_32) for
a TRACE_EVENT. With my config, at system boot total memory occupied
is:

	5392 * (642 + 15) == 3459KB

642 == cat available_events | wc -l
15 == number of dirs in events/ftrace

That's quite a lot, so we'd better defer memory allocation util
it's needed, that's when filter is used.

Paul E. McKenney dd5d19bafd rcu: Create rcutree plugins to handle hotplug CPU for multi-level trees
When offlining CPUs from a multi-level tree, there is the
possibility of offlining the last CPU from a given node when
there are preempted RCU read-side critical sections that
started life on one of the CPUs on that node.

In this case, the corresponding tasks will be enqueued via the
task_struct's rcu_node_entry list_head onto one of the
rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] lists.  These tasks need to be moved
somewhere else so that they will prevent the current grace
period from ending. That somewhere is the root rcu_node.

Herbert Xu 0c7d400faf crypto: skcipher - Fix skcipher_dequeue_givcrypt NULL test
As struct skcipher_givcrypt_request includes struct crypto_request
at a non-zero offset, testing for NULL after converting the pointer
returned by crypto_dequeue_request does not work.  This can result
in IPsec crashes when the queue is depleted.

This patch fixes it by doing the pointer conversion only when the
return value is non-NULL.  In particular, we create a new function
__crypto_dequeue_request that does the pointer conversion.

Frederic Weisbecker 0dd7b74787 tracing: Fix double CPP substitution in TRACE_EVENT_FN
TRACE_EVENT_FN relays on TRACE_EVENT by reprocessing its parameters
into the ftrace events CPP macro. This leads to a double substitution
in some cases.

For example, a bad consequence is a format always prefixed by
"%s, %s\n" for every TRACE_EVENT_FN based events.

Eg:
	cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter/format
	[...]
	print fmt: "%s, %s\n", "\"NR %ld (%lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx)\"",\
	"REC->id, REC->args[0], REC->args[1], REC->args[2], REC->args[3],\
	REC->args[4], REC->args[5]"

This creates a failure in post-processing tools such as perf trace or
trace-cmd.

Then drop this double substitution and replace it by a new __cpparg()
macro that relays CPP arguments containing commas.

Frederic Weisbecker 6c347d43ee tracing: Undef TRACE_EVENT_FN between trace events headers inclusion
The recent commit:

	tracing/events: fix the include file dependencies

fixed a file dependency problem while including more than
one trace event header file.

This fix undefined TRACE_EVENT after an event header macro
preprocessing in order to make tracepoint.h able to correctly declare
the tracepoints necessary for the next event header file.

But now we also need to undefine TRACE_EVENT_FN at the end of an event
header file preprocessing for the same reason.

This fixes the following build error:

is set, you can suppress the debug messages by giving or changing this
parameter to a lower value.  debug=0 means no debug messsages.
As default, it's set to the verbose level 2.

Since this option can be changed dynamically via sysfs file, you can

Frans Pop 2a908002c7 ACPI processor: force throttling state when BIOS returns incorrect value
If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be
fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0.
Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset
never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring
on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.

Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389

This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in
2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5
months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various
reminders and without any reason given.

Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in
itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.

The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that
throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system
overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

David Rientjes b62e408c05 flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsigned
It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as
part of the flex array API.

flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative
quantity, which is obviously erroneous.

flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in
dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before
struct flex_array.

The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as
unsigned.  Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max
array size based on element_size need not be changed.

#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS

The above will not work, because the TRACE_EVENT was re-defined by
