crtools uses a parasite code for dumping processes. The parasite code is
injected into a process with help PTRACE_SEIZE.
Currently crtools blocks signals from a parasite code. If a process has
pending signals, crtools wait while a process handles these signals.
This method is not suitable for stopped tasks. A stopped task can have a
few pending signals, when we will try to execute a parasite code, we will
need to drop SIGSTOP, but all other signals must remain pending, because a
state of processes must not be changed during checkpointing.
This patch adds two ptrace commands to set/get signal-blocked mask.
I think gdb can use this commands too.

Add macros for single bit definitions of a specific type. These are
similar to the BIT() macro that already exists, but with a few
exceptions:
1. The namespace is such that they can be used in uapi definitions.
2. The type is set with the _AC() macro to allow it to be used in
assembly.
3. The type is explicitly specified to be UL or ULL.

Pull btrfs update from Chris Mason:
"These are mostly fixes. The biggest exceptions are Josef's skinny
extents and Jan Schmidt's code to rebuild our quota indexes if they
get out of sync (or you enable quotas on an existing filesystem).
The skinny extents are off by default because they are a new variation
on the extent allocation tree format. btrfstune -x enables them, and
the new format makes the extent allocation tree about 30% smaller.
I rebased this a few days ago to rework Dave Sterba's crc checks on
the super block, but almost all of these go back to rc6, since I
though 3.9 was due any minute.
The biggest missing fix is the tracepoint bug that was hit late in
3.9. I ran into problems with that in overnight testing and I'm still
tracking it down. I'll definitely have that fixed for rc2."

audit rule additions containing "-F auid!=4294967295" were failing
with EINVAL because of a regression caused by e1760bd.
Apparently some userland audit rule sets want to know if loginuid uid
has been set and are using a test for auid != 4294967295 to determine
that.
In practice that is a horrible way to ask if a value has been set,
because it relies on subtle implementation details and will break
every time the uid implementation in the kernel changes.
So add a clean way to test if the audit loginuid has been set, and
silently convert the old idiom to the cleaner and more comprehensible
new idiom.

If qgroup tracking is out of sync, a rescan operation can be started. It
iterates the complete extent tree and recalculates all qgroup tracking data.
This is an expensive operation and should not be used unless required.
A filesystem under rescan can still be umounted. The rescan continues on the
next mount. Status information is provided with a separate ioctl while a
rescan operation is in progress.

Two new flags are added to allow omitting the stream header and the
end command for btrfs send streams. This is used in cases where you
send multiple snapshots back-to-back in one stream.
This used to be encoded like this (with 2 snapshots in this example):
<stream header> + <sequence of commands> + <end cmd> +
<stream header> + <sequence of commands> + <end cmd> + EOF
The new format (if the two new flags are used) is this one:
<stream header> + <sequence of commands> +
<sequence of commands> + <end cmd>
Note that the currently existing receivers treat <end cmd> only as
an indication that a new <stream header> is following. This means,
you can just skip the sequence <end cmd> <stream header> without
loosing compatibility. As long as an EOF is following, the currently
existing receivers handle the new format (if the two new flags are
used) exactly as the old one.
So what is the benefit of this change? The goal is to be able to use
a single stream (one TCP connection) to multiplex a request/response
handshake plus Btrfs send streams, all in the same stream. In this
case you cannot evaluate an EOF condition as an end of the Btrfs send
stream. You need something else, and the <end cmd> is just perfect
for this purpose.
The summary is:
The format change is driven by the need to send several Btrfs send
streams over a single TCP connections, with the ability for a repeated
request/response handshake in the middle. And this format change does
not break any existing tool, it is completely compatible.
You could compare the old behaviour of the Btrfs send stream to the
one of ftp where you need a seperate request/response channel and
newly opened data transfer channels for each file, while the new
behaviour is more like http using a single stream for everything.
