The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling
it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on
interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable
interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a
bug like:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529
James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the
function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors
Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

This bug is causing random crashes
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).
-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.
This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
around the gcc codegen bug.

We fix it by moving the actual freeing to outside the lock (the lock
now only protects the list).
The pool lock is also promoted to irq-safe (suggested by Dan). It's
necessary because free_pool is now called outside the irq disabled
region. So we need to protect against an interrupt handler which calls
debug_object_init().

I noticed that sysctl_check.o was the largest object file in
a allnoconfig build in kernel/*.
36243 0 0 36243 8d93 kernel/sysctl_check.o
This is because it was default y and && EMBEDDED. But I don't
really see a need for a non kernel developer to have their
sysctls checked all the time.
So move the Kconfig into the kernel debugging section and
also drop the default y and the EMBEDDED check.

The idea of the implementation of this fix is from Michael Ellerman.
This function has two loops, but they each interpret the memory_limit
value differently. The first loop interprets it as a "size limit"
whereas the second loop interprets it as an "address limit".
Before the second loop runs, reset memory_limit to lmb_end_of_DRAM()
so that it all works out.

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.
Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.
Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).
Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32,
sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.

Short enough reads from /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity return -EINVAL for no
good reason.
This became noticed with NR_CPUS=4096 patches, when length of printed
representation of cpumask becase 1152, but cat(1) continued to read with
1024-byte chunks. bitmap_scnprintf() in good faith fills buffer, returns
1023, check returns -EINVAL.
Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and
doesn't care about offsets, length, filling EOF and all this crap.
For that add seq_bitmap(), and wrappers around it -- seq_cpumask() and
seq_nodemask().
