9d73777e50 clarify get_user_pages() prototype
Currently the 4th parameter of get_user_pages() is called len, but its
in pages, not bytes. Rename the thing to nr_pages to avoid future
confusion.

f6430a938d [ARM] 5565/2: Use PAGE_SIZE and RO_DATA() in link script
Update the link script for ARM to use PAGE_SIZE instead of hard-
coded 4096. Also the old RODATA macro is deprecated
for the RO_DATA(PAGE_SIZE) macro. As a consequence the PAGE_SIZE
was changed from (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT) to (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
because the linker does not understand the "UL" suffix to numeric
constants.

aa715284b4 futex: request only one page from get_user_pages()
Yanmin noticed that fault_in_user_writeable() requests 4 pages instead
of one.

That's the result of blindly trusting Linus' proposal :) I even looked
up the prototype to verify the correctness: the argument in question
is confusingly enough named "len" while in reality it means number of
pages.

11687a1099 Revert "veth: prevent oops caused by netdev destructor"
This reverts commit ae0e8e8220.

This change had two problems:

1) Since it frees the stats in the drivers' close method, we
   can OOPS in the transmit routine.

2) stats are no longer remembered across ifdown/ifup which
   disagrees with how every other device operates.

Thanks to analysis and test patch from Serge E. Hallyn

76c64c5e4c perf record: Fix filemap pathname parsing in /proc/pid/maps
Looking backward for the first space from the end of a line in
/proc/pid/maps does not find the start of the pathname of the mapped
file if it contains a space.

Since the only slashes we have in this file occur in the (absolute!)
pathname column of file mappings, looking for the first slash in a
line is a safe method to find the name.

a9d9058aba kmemleak: Allow the early log buffer to be configurable.
(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky)

Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these
happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal
buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch
adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes
the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

1155de47cd ring-buffer: Make it generally available
In hunting down the cause for the hwlat_detector ring buffer spew in
my failed -next builds it became obvious that folks are now treating
ring_buffer as something that is generic independent of tracing and thus,
suitable for public driver consumption.

Given that there are only a few minor areas in ring_buffer that have any
reliance on CONFIG_TRACING or CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER, provide stubs for
those and make it generally available.

3a6a6c16be audit: inode watches depend on CONFIG_AUDIT not CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL
Even though one cannot make use of the audit watch code without
CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL the spaghetti nature of the audit code means that
the audit rule filtering requires that it at least be compiled.

Thus build the audit_watch code when we build auditfilter like it was
before cfcad62c74

Clearly this is a point of potential future cleanup..

  futex: Fix the write access fault problem for real

d0725992c8 futex: Fix the write access fault problem for real
commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which
modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write
access faults.

The patch was made on two wrong assumptions:

1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access.

   On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check.

2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us.

   That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call
   mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that
   call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the
   actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again.

The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write
access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to
fault it in with verification of write access.

There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault
the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will
fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF
overhead.

If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it
anymore and need to bail out to user space.

Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

ba52270d18 SLUB: Don't pass __GFP_FAIL for the initial allocation
SLUB uses higher order allocations by default but falls back to small
orders under memory pressure. Make sure the GFP mask used in the initial
allocation doesn't include __GFP_NOFAIL.

4923abf9f1 Don't warn about order-1 allocations with __GFP_NOFAIL
Traditionally, we never failed small orders (even regardless of any
__GFP_NOFAIL flags), and slab will allocate order-1 allocations even for
small allocations that could fit in a single page (in order to avoid
excessive fragmentation).

Maybe we should remove this warning entirely, but before making that
judgement, at least limit it to bigger allocations.

1b173f77dd perf_counter tools: Add CREDITS file for Git contributors
Much of perf's libraries comes from the Git project. I noticed
that the files (in tools/perf/util/*.[ch] and elsewhere) are
quite spartan wrt. credits, so lets add a CREDITS file that
includes an (incomplete!) list of main contributors.

Thanks guys, these libraries are really useful. Special thanks
go to Johannes Schindelin and Junio C Hamano for coming up with
this list.
