Introduce the low level interface that can be used for handling the
snapshot of the system memory by the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code of
swsusp and the userland interface code (to be introduced shortly).
Also change the way in which swsusp records the allocated swap pages and,
consequently, simplifies the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code (this is
necessary for the userland interface too). To this end, it introduces two
helper functions in mm/swapfile.c, so that the swsusp code does not refer
directly to the swap internals.

We have noticed lockups during boot when stress testing kexec on ppc64.
Two cpus would deadlock in scheduler code trying to grab already taken
spinlocks.
The double_rq_lock code uses the address of the runqueue to order the
taking of multiple locks. This address is a per cpu variable:
if (rq1 < rq2) {
spin_lock(&rq1->lock);
spin_lock(&rq2->lock);
} else {
spin_lock(&rq2->lock);
spin_lock(&rq1->lock);
}
On the other hand, the code in wake_sleeping_dependent uses the cpu id
order to grab locks:
for_each_cpu_mask(i, sibling_map)
spin_lock(&cpu_rq(i)->lock);
This means we rely on the address of per cpu data increasing as cpu ids
increase. While this will be true for the generic percpu implementation it
may not be true for arch specific implementations.
One way to solve this is to always take runqueues in cpu id order. To do
this we add a cpu variable to the runqueue and check it in the
double runqueue locking functions.

When on_each_cpu() runs the callback on other CPUs, it runs with local
interrupts disabled. So we should run the function with local interrupts
disabled on this CPU, too.
And do the same for UP, so the callback is run in the same environment on both
UP and SMP. (strictly it should do preempt_disable() too, but I think
local_irq_disable is sufficiently equivalent).
Also uninlines on_each_cpu(). softirq.c was the most appropriate file I could
find, but it doesn't seem to justify creating a new file.
Oh, and fix up that comment over (under?) x86's smp_call_function(). It
drives me nuts.

Remove the sleep_avg multiplier. This multiplier was necessary back when
we had 10 seconds of dynamic range in sleep_avg, but now that we only have
one second, it causes that one second to be compressed down to 100ms in
some cases. This is particularly noticeable when compiling a kernel in a
slow NFS mount, and I believe it to be a very likely candidate for other
recently reported network related interactivity problems.
In testing, I can detect no negative impact of this removal.

The module files, refcnt, version, and srcversion did not properly
increment the owner's module reference count, allowing the modules to
be removed while the files were open, causing oopses.
This patch fixes this, and also fixes the problem that the version and
srcversion files were not showing up, unless CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD was
enabled, which is not correct.

Hi,
This is a trivial patch that enables the possibility of using some auditing
functions within loadable kernel modules (ie. inside a Linux Security Module).
_
Make the audit_log_start, audit_log_end, audit_format and audit_log
interfaces available to Loadable Kernel Modules, thus making possible
the usage of the audit framework inside LSMs, etc.

Darrel Goeddel initiated a discussion on IRC regarding the possibility
of audit_comparator() returning -EINVAL signaling an invalid operator.
It is possible when creating the rule to assure that the operator is one
of the 6 sane values. Here's a snip from include/linux/audit.h Note
that 0 (nonsense) and 7 (all operators) are not valid values for an
operator.
...
/* These are the supported operators.
* 4 2 1
* = > <
* -------
* 0 0 0 0 nonsense
* 0 0 1 1 <
* 0 1 0 2 >
* 0 1 1 3 !=
* 1 0 0 4 =
* 1 0 1 5 <=
* 1 1 0 6 >=
* 1 1 1 7 all operators
*/
...
Furthermore, prior to adding these extended operators, flagging the
AUDIT_NEGATE bit implied !=, and otherwise == was assumed.
The following code forces the operator to be != if the AUDIT_NEGATE bit
was flipped on. And if no operator was specified, == is assumed. The
only invalid condition is if the AUDIT_NEGATE bit is off and all of the
AUDIT_EQUAL, AUDIT_LESS_THAN, and AUDIT_GREATER_THAN bits are
on--clearly a nonsensical operator.
Now that this is handled at rule insertion time, the default -EINVAL
return of audit_comparator() is eliminated such that the function can
only return 1 or 0.
If this is acceptable, let's get this applied to the current tree.
