Enable a fourth level of rcu_node hierarchy for TREE_RCU and
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. This is for stress-testing and experiemental
purposes only, although in theory this would enable 16,777,216
CPUs on 64-bit systems, though only 1,048,576 CPUs on 32-bit
systems. Normal experimental use of this fourth level will
normally set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=2, requiring a 16-CPU system,
though the more adventurous (and more fortunate) experimenters
may wish to chose CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3 for 81-CPU systems or even
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4 for 256-CPU systems.

The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the
names are no longer very descriptive. The point of all of these
functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a
quiescent state, so rename them accordingly:
o cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a
quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure. If this
turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period,
then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the
quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy.
o cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports
a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs)
up the rcu_node hierarchy.
o cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which
reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state
structure.
o task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports
a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical
section that had previously blocked in that same critical section.
As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is
reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp()
to do so).

On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module
this kernel "badness warning":
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text'
Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487
Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple
.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag
which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.
An objdump on such a kernel module gives:
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
1 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**2

3 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000d4 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
...
Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be
loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason
why such sections need to be listed under
/sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either.
The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section
names which are empty.

Commits 3d7a641 ("SLOW_WORK: Wait for outstanding work items belonging to a
module to clear") introduced some code to make sure that all of a module's
slow-work items were complete before that module was removed, and commit
3bde31a ("SLOW_WORK: Allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread is
needed") further extended that, breaking it in the process if CONFIG_MODULES=n:
CC kernel/slow-work.o
kernel/slow-work.c: In function 'slow_work_execute':
kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: 'slow_work_thread_processing' undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: for each function it appears in.)
kernel/slow-work.c: In function 'slow_work_wait_for_items':
kernel/slow-work.c:950: error: 'slow_work_unreg_sync_lock' undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/slow-work.c:951: error: 'slow_work_unreg_wq' undeclared (first use in this function)

kernel/slow-work.c:977: error: 'slow_work_thread_processing' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [kernel/slow-work.o] Error 1
Fix this by:
(1) Extracting the bits of slow_work_execute() that are contingent on
CONFIG_MODULES, and the bits that should be, into inline functions and
placing them into the #ifdef'd section that defines the relevant variables
and adding stubs for moduleless kernels. This allows the removal of some
#ifdefs.
(2) #ifdef'ing out the contents of slow_work_wait_for_items() in moduleless
kernels.
The four functions related to handling module unloading synchronisation (and
their associated variables) could be offloaded into a separate .c file, but
each function is only used once and three of them are tiny, so doing so would
prevent them from being inlined.

I'm seeing spikes of up to 0.5ms in khungtaskd on a large
machine. To reduce this source of jitter I tried setting
hung_task_check_count to 0:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_check_count
which didn't have the intended response. Change to a post
increment of max_count, so a value of 0 means check 0 tasks.

Running the ring-buffer-benchmark's threads at the lowest priority may
work well for keeping it in the background, but it is not appropriate
for the benchmarks.
This patch adds 4 parameters to the module:
consumer_fifo
consumer_nice
producer_fifo
producer_nice
By default the consumer and producer still run at nice +19.
If the *_fifo options are set, they will override the *_nice values.
modprobe ring_buffer_benchmark consumer_nice=0 producer_fifo=10
The above will set the consumer thread to a nice value of 0, and
the producer thread to a RT SCHED_FIFO priority of 10.
Note, this patch also fixes a bug where calling set_user_nice on the
consumer thread would oops the kernel when the parameter "disable_reader"
is set.

As far as I know, all distros currently ship kernels with default
CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y. Since having the option on
leaves a 'no_file_caps' option to boot without file capabilities,
the main reason to keep the option is that turning it off saves
you (on my s390x partition) 5k. In particular, vmlinux sizes
came to:
without patch fscaps=n: 53598392
without patch fscaps=y: 53603406
with this patch applied: 53603342
with the security-next tree.
Against this we must weigh the fact that there is no simple way for
userspace to figure out whether file capabilities are supported,
while things like per-process securebits, capability bounding
sets, and adding bits to pI if CAP_SETPCAP is in pE are not supported
with SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=n, leaving a bit of a problem for
applications wanting to know whether they can use them and/or why
something failed.
It also adds another subtly different set of semantics which we must
maintain at the risk of severe security regressions.
So this patch removes the SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES compile
option. It drops the kernel size by about 50k over the stock
SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y kernel, by removing the
cap_limit_ptraced_target() function.
Changelog:
Nov 20: remove cap_limit_ptraced_target() as it's logic
was ifndef'ed.

When libcap, or other libraries attempt to confirm/determine the supported
capability version magic, they generally supply a NULL dataptr to capget().
In this case, while returning the supported/preferred magic (via a
modified header content), the return code of this system call may be 0,
-EINVAL, or -EFAULT.
No libcap code depends on the previous -EINVAL etc. return code, and
all of the above three return codes can accompany a valid (successful)
attempt to determine the requested magic value.
This patch cleans up the system call to return 0, if the call is
successfully being used to determine the supported/preferred capability
magic value.
