This is a series of low level ptrace unification steps to make it easier
for common code (like KGDB) to poke at register state. This also avoids
having to duplicate higher level operations for most ports which don't
have special needs for accessing things.
This patch:
This implements a bunch of helper funcs for poking the registers of a
ptrace structure. Now common code should be able to portably update
specific registers (like kgdb updating the PC).

As reported by Ingo Molnar, we still have configuration combinations
where use of the WARN_RATELIMIT interfaces break the build because
dependencies don't get met.
Instead of going down the long road of trying to make it so that
ratelimit.h can get included by kernel.h or asm-generic/bug.h,
just move the interface into ratelimit.h and make users have
to include that.

Apps are increasingly using more than 1024 file descriptors. See
discussion in several distro bug trackers, e.g. BugLink:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663090https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-2054
You don't want to raise the default soft limit, since that might break
apps that use select(), but it's safe to raise the default hard limit;
that way, apps that know they need lots of file descriptors can raise
their soft limit without needing root, and without user intervention.
Ubuntu is doing this with a kernel change because they have a policy of
not changing kernel defaults in userland.
While 4096 might not be enough for *all* apps, it seems to be plenty for
the apps I've seen lately that are unhappy with 1024.

The copy_to_user_page() function is supposed to flush the icache on the
memory that was written, but the current asm-generic version lacks that
logic. While normally it isn't a big deal as the asm-generic version of
icache flushing is a stub, it is a deal for ports that want to use the
asm-generic version as a baseline and then overlay its own specific parts
(like icache flushing).

Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.
The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather,
but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the
status quo.
The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review
purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of
those a generic cleanup.
The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup
is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from
DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement
gup_fast() for sparc64.
Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching.
After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm
a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to
mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather
preemptible as well.
Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code.
This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I
think wants.
Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex.
This patch:
Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather.
The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption
disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to
try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small
on-stack array to make some progress.
Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock
becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from
having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the
pte_lock.
Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is
useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces
pte lock hold times.

The page_clear_dirty primitive always sets the default storage key
which resets the access control bits and the fetch protection bit.
That will surprise a KVM guest that sets non-zero access control
bits or the fetch protection bit. Merge page_test_dirty and
page_clear_dirty back to a single function and only clear the
dirty bit from the storage key.
In addition move the function page_test_and_clear_dirty and
page_test_and_clear_young to page.h where they belong. This
requires to change the parameter from a struct page * to a page
frame number.

Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.
So this fixes things up a bit, using
grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

This patch places every exported symbol in its own section
(i.e. "___ksymtab+printk"). Thus the linker will use its SORT() directive
to sort and finally merge all symbol in the right and final section
(i.e. "__ksymtab").
The symbol prefixed archs use an underscore as prefix for symbols.
To avoid collision we use a different character to create the temporary
section names.

The existing <asm-generic/unistd.h> mechanism doesn't really provide
enough to create the 64-bit "compat" ABI properly in a generic way,
since the compat ABI is a mix of things were you can re-use the 64-bit
versions of syscalls and things where you need a compat wrapper.
To provide this in the most direct way possible, I added two new macros
to go along with the existing __SYSCALL and __SC_3264 macros: __SC_COMP
and SC_COMP_3264. These macros take an additional argument, typically a
"compat_sys_xxx" function, which is passed to __SYSCALL if you define
__SYSCALL_COMPAT when including the header, resulting in a pointer to
the compat function being placed in the generated syscall table.
The change also adds some missing definitions to <linux/compat.h> so that
it actually has declarations for all the compat syscalls, since the
"[nr] = ##call" approach requires proper C declarations for all the
functions included in the syscall table.
Finally, compat.c defines compat_sys_sigpending() and
compat_sys_sigprocmask() even if the underlying architecture doesn't
request it, which tries to pull in undefined compat_old_sigset_t defines.
We need to guard those compat syscall definitions with appropriate
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_xxx ifdefs.

Merge reason: pick up the latest jump-label enhancements, they are cooked ready.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Introduce:
static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key);
instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro.
In this way, jump labels become really easy to use:
Define:
struct jump_label_key jump_key;
Can be used as:
if (static_branch(&jump_key))
do unlikely code
enable/disale via:
jump_label_inc(&jump_key);
jump_label_dec(&jump_key);
that's it!
For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an
atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(),
atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below.
Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct.
Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into
the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in
basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous
hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write.
Testing:
I ran a series of 'tbench 20' runs 5 times (with reboots) for 3
configurations, where tracepoints were disabled.
