23ec23c2d3 fix sparc32 breakage (result of vmlinux.lds.S bug)
In commit 4665079cbb ("[NETNS]: Move some
code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=n") we got a new section -
.exit.text.refok (more of 'let's tell modpost that some bogus calls are
not bogus', a-la text.init.refok).

Unfortunately, the commit in question forgot to add it to TEXT_TEXT,
with rather amusing results.

b0052fcaef Define termios_1 functions for powerpc, s390, avr32 and frv
Commit f629307c85 introduced uses of
kernel_termios_to_user_termios_1 and user_termios_to_kernel_termios_1
on all architectures.  However, powerpc, s390, avr32 and frv don't
currently define those functions since their termios struct didn't
need to be changed when the arbitrary baud rate stuff was added, and
thus the kernel won't currently build on those architectures.

This adds definitions of kernel_termios_to_user_termios_1 and
user_termios_to_kernel_termios_1 to include/asm-generic/termios.h
which are identical to kernel_termios_to_user_termios and
user_termios_to_kernel_termios respectively.  The definitions are the
same because the "old" termios and "new" termios are in fact the same
on these architectures (which are the same ones that use
asm-generic/termios.h).

9535239f6b changing include/asm-generic/pgtable.h for non-mmu
There are some parts of include/asm-generic/pgtable.h that are relevant to
the non-mmu architectures.  To make it easier to include this from them I
would like to ifdef the relevant parts.

Without this there is a handful of functions that are referenced in here
that are not defined on many non-mmu architectures.  They could be defined
out of course, as an alternative approach.

8d4fbcfbe0 Fix WARN_ON() on bitfield ops
Alexey Dobriyan noticed that the new WARN_ON() semantics that were
introduced by commit 684f978347 (to also
return the value to be warned on) didn't compile when given a bitfield,
because the typeof doesn't work for bitfields.

So instead of the typeof trick, use an "int" variable together with a
"!!(x)" expression, as suggested by Al Viro.

To make matters more interesting, Paul Mackerras points out that that is
sub-optimal on Power, but the old asm-coded comparison seems to be buggy
anyway on 32-bit Power if the conditional was 64-bit, so I think there
are more problems there.

Regardless, the new WARN_ON() semantics may have been a bad idea.  But
this at least avoids the more serious complications.

cbe87121f1 i386: Put allocated ELF notes in read-only data segment
This changes the i386 linker script and the asm-generic macro it uses so that
ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image along
with other read-only data.  The PT_NOTE also points to their location.

This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes
that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.

5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

everywhere to the fixed-sized types.  Kills a bunch of bogus warnings about
constants being truncated (gcc, sparse), finds a pile of endianness problems
hidden by old noise (sparse).

f23513e8d9 Introduce O_CLOEXEC
The problem is as follows: in multi-threaded code (or more correctly: all
code using clone() with CLONE_FILES) we have a race when exec'ing.

   thread #1                       thread #2

   fd=open()

                                   fork + exec

  fcntl(fd,F_SETFD,FD_CLOEXEC)

In some applications this can happen frequently.  Take a web browser.  One
thread opens a file and another thread starts, say, an external PDF viewer.
 The result can even be a security issue if that open file descriptor
refers to a sensitive file and the external program can somehow be tricked
into using that descriptor.

Just adding O_CLOEXEC support to open() doesn't solve the whole set of
problems.  There are other ways to create file descriptors (socket,
epoll_create, Unix domain socket transfer, etc).  These can and should be
addressed separately though.  open() is such an easy case that it makes not
much sense putting the fix off.

The test program:

#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#ifndef O_CLOEXEC
# define O_CLOEXEC 02000000
#endif

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int fd;
  if (argc > 1)
    {
      fd = atol (argv[1]);
      printf ("child: fd = %d\n", fd);
      if (fcntl (fd, F_GETFD) == 0 || errno != EBADF)
        {
          puts ("file descriptor valid in child");
          return 1;
        }
      return 0;
    }

  fd = open ("/proc/self/exe", O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC);
  printf ("in parent: new fd = %d\n", fd);
  char buf[20];
  snprintf (buf, sizeof (buf), "%d", fd);
  execl ("/proc/self/exe", argv[0], buf, NULL);
  puts ("execl failed");
  return 1;
}

1b0fac4587 dma-mapping: prevent dma dependent code from linking on !HAS_DMA archs
Continuing the work started in 411f0f3edc ...

This enables code with a dma path, that compiles away, to build without
requiring additional code factoring.  It also prevents code that calls
dma_alloc_coherent and dma_free_coherent from linking whereas previously
the code would hit a BUG() at run time.  Finally, it allows archs that set
!HAS_DMA to delete their asm/dma-mapping.h file.

8dab5241d0 Rework ptep_set_access_flags and fix sun4c
Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and
update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires
update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults.

This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and
callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is
necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed).  This allow
fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

4096b46f01 sparc64: fix alignment bug in linker definition script
The RO_DATA section were hardcoded to a specific
alignment in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.h.
But for sparc64 this did not match the PAGE_SIZE.

Introduce a new section definition named:
RO_DATA that takes actual alignment as parameter.
RODATA are provided for backward compatibility.

On top of this avoid hardcoding alignment for
sparc64 in reset of the script
Fix is build-tested on sparc64 + x86_64.

0e0d314e6a kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings
Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.
