This fixes the race in process_vm_core found by Oleg (see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1235667/
for details).
This has been updated since I last sent it as the creation of the new
mm_access() function did almost exactly the same thing as parts of the
previous version of this patch did.
In order to use mm_access() even when /proc isn't enabled, we move it to
kernel/fork.c where other related process mm access functions already
are.

This patch fixes merge conflict resolution breakage introduced by merge
d3712b9dfc ("Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream").
The commit changed 'mtd_can_have_bb()' function and made it always
return zero, which is incorrect. Instead, we need it to return whether
the underlying flash device can have bad eraseblocks or not. UBI needs
this information because it affects how it handles the underlying flash.
E.g., if the underlying flash is NOR, it cannot have bad blocks and any
write or erase error is fatal, and all we can do is to switch to R/O
mode. We do not need to reserve a pool of good eraseblocks for bad
eraseblocks handling, and so on.
This patch also removes 'mtd_can_have_bb()' invocations from Logfs to
ensure correct Logfs behavior.
I've tested that with this patch UBI works on top of NOR and NAND
flashes emulated by mtdram and nandsim correspondingly.
This patch is based on patch from Linus Torvalds.

There are few important bug fixes for LogFS
* tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream:
Logfs: Allow NULL block_isbad() methods
logfs: Grow inode in delete path
logfs: Free areas before calling generic_shutdown_super()
logfs: remove useless BUG_ON
MAINTAINERS: Add Prasad Joshi in LogFS maintiners
logfs: Propagate page parameter to __logfs_write_inode
logfs: set superblock shutdown flag after generic sb shutdown
logfs: take write mutex lock during fsync and sync
logfs: Prevent memory corruption
logfs: update page reference count for pined pages
Fix up conflict in fs/logfs/dev_mtd.c due to semantic change in what
"mtd->block_isbad" means in commit f2933e86ad: "Logfs: Allow NULL
block_isbad() methods" clashing with the abstraction changes in the
commits 7086c19d07: "mtd: introduce mtd_block_isbad interface" and
d58b27ed58: "logfs: do not use 'mtd->block_isbad' directly".
This resolution takes the semantics from commit f2933e86ad, and just
makes mtd_block_isbad() return zero (false) if the 'block_isbad'
function is NULL. But that also means that now "mtd_can_have_bb()"
always returns 0.
Now, "mtd_block_markbad()" will obviously return an error if the
low-level driver doesn't support bad blocks, so this is somewhat
non-symmetric, but it actually makes sense if a NULL "block_isbad"
function is considered to mean "I assume that all my blocks are always
good".
Here are a bunch of USB patches for 3.3-rc1.

Commit 2aede851dd
PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory
introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after
the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with
frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests.
However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the
SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE,
which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw
that worqueues had been already frozen.
Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing
the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would
reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851dd
attempted to avoid into that particular code path. For this reason,
to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make
the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it.
Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the
problem.

Fix up conflict due to arch/arm/mach-mx5/Kconfig having been merged into
mach-imx5 (commit 784a90c0a7: "ARM i.MX: Merge i.MX5 support into
mach-imx"), but the ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_6 entry was moved to be driven by
the CPU_V7 logic from it in the old location in rmk's branch (commit
a092f2b153: "ARM: 7291/1: cache: assume 64-byte L1 cachelines for
ARMv7 CPUs").
This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism.
It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The
unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each
timer tick.
This patch solves this problem and also separates:
- unthrottling
- multiplexing
- frequency-mode period adjustments
Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick.
This third version of the patch is based on my original patch +
PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87).
At each timer tick, for each context:
- if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events
- if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods
- if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate)
We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling
period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same
rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1
but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs).
We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the
same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in
frequency mode, we scan the events only once.
We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow().
There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate
because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right
place.
The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods,
frequency mode, overcommitted PMU.
On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
2000
We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000):
$ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10
$ perf report -D | tail -21
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 80086
MMAP events: 88
COMM events: 2
EXIT events: 4
THROTTLE events: 19996

SAMPLE events: 20000
For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.
We get exactly that: 20000 samples/event.
