b0abcfc146 Audit: use == not = in if statements
Clearly this was supposed to be an == not an = in the if statement.
This patch also causes us to stop processing execve args once we have
failed rather than continuing to loop on failure over and over and over.

audit_log_d_path() is a d_path() wrapper that is used by the audit code.  To

4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

63070a79ba hrtimer: catch expired CLOCK_REALTIME timers early
A CLOCK_REALTIME timer, which has an absolute expiry time less than
the clock realtime offset calls with a negative delta into the clock
events code and triggers the WARN_ON() there.

This is a false positive and needs to be prevented. Check the result
of timer->expires - timer->base->offset right away and return -ETIME
right away.

5a7780e725 hrtimer: check relative timeouts for overflow
Various user space callers ask for relative timeouts. While we fixed
that overflow issue in hrtimer_start(), the sites which convert
relative user space values to absolute timeouts themself were uncovered.

Instead of putting overflow checks into each place add a function
which does the sanity checking and convert all affected callers to use
it.

fb40bd78b0 Linux Kernel Markers: support multiple probes
RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers.  Common case
(one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a
supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.

- Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.

Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
callback instead of the marker site.

Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.

- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
  armed.

Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.

This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".

If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.

It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :

Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

064d9efe94 hugetlb: fix overcommit locking
proc_doulongvec_minmax() calls copy_to_user()/copy_from_user(), so we can't

result, like in hugetlb_sysctl_handler(), then grab the lock to update
nr_overcommit_huge_pages.

23b0fdfc92 sched: rt-group: deal with PI
Steven mentioned the fun case where a lock holding task will be throttled.

Simple fix: allow groups that have boosted tasks to run anyway.

If a runnable task in a throttled group gets boosted the dequeue/enqueue
done by rt_mutex_setprio() is enough to unthrottle the group.

This is ofcourse not quite correct. Two possible ways forward are:
  - second prio array for boosted tasks
  - boost to a prio ceiling (this would also work for deadline scheduling)
