Fix up trivial conflict in arch/arm/kernel/signal.c.

It was due to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME addition in commit d0420c83f ("KEYS:
Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures") and follow-ups.

2195d2818c fix undefined reference to user_shm_unlock
My 353d5c30c6 "mm: fix hugetlb bug due to
user_shm_unlock call" broke the CONFIG_SYSVIPC !CONFIG_MMU build of both
2.6.31 and 2.6.30.6: "undefined reference to `user_shm_unlock'".

gcc didn't understand my comment! so couldn't figure out to optimize
away user_shm_unlock() from the error path in the hugetlb-less case, as
it does elsewhere.  Help it to do so, in a language it understands.

cbc8cc3352 udf: Fix possible corruption when close races with write
When we close a file, we remove preallocated blocks from it. But this
truncation was not protected by i_mutex and thus it could have raced with a
write through a different fd and cause crashes or even filesystem corruption.

81056dd044 udf: Perform preallocation only for regular files
So far we preallocated blocks also for directories but that brings a
problem, when to get rid of preallocated blocks we don't need. So far
we removed them in udf_clear_inode() which has a disadvantage that
1) blocks are unavailable long after writing to a directory finished
   and thus one can get out of space unnecessarily early
2) releasing blocks from udf_clear_inode is problematic because VFS
   does not expect us to redirty inode there and it also slows down
   memory reclaim.

So preallocate blocks only for regular files where we can drop preallocation
in udf_release_file.

b70ef01016 EDAC: move MCE error descriptions to EDAC core
This is in preparation of adding AMD-specific MCE decoding functionality
to the EDAC core. The error decoding macros originate from the AMD64
EDAC driver albeit in a simplified and cleaned up version here.

While at it, add macros to generate the error description strings and
use them in the error type decoders directly which removes a bunch of
code and makes the decoding functions much more readable. Also, fix
strings and shorten macro names.

Remove superfluous htlink_msgs.

2daea67e96 fsync: wait for data writeout completion before calling ->fsync
Currenly vfs_fsync(_range) first calls filemap_fdatawrite to write out
the data, the calls into ->fsync to write out the metadata and then finally
calls filemap_fdatawait to wait for the data I/O to complete.  What sounds
like a clever micro-optimization actually is nast trap for many filesystems.

For many modern filesystems i_size or other inode information is only
updated on I/O completion and we need to wait for I/O to finish before
we can write out the metadata.  For old fashionen filesystems that
instanciate blocks during the actual write and also update the metadata
at that point it opens up a large window were we could expose uninitialized
blocks after a crash.  While a few filesystems that need it already wait
for the I/O to finish inside their ->fsync methods it is rather suboptimal
as it is done under the i_mutex and also always for the whole file instead
of just a part as we could do for O_SYNC handling.

Here is a small audit of all fsync instances in the tree:

 - spufs_mfc_fsync:
 - ps3flash_fsync:
 - vol_cdev_fsync:
 - printer_fsync:
 - fb_deferred_io_fsync:
 - bad_file_fsync:
 - simple_sync_file:

	don't care - filesystems/drivers do't use the page cache or are
	purely in-memory.

 - simple_fsync:
 - file_fsync:
 - affs_file_fsync:
 - fat_file_fsync:
 - jfs_fsync:
 - ubifs_fsync:
 - reiserfs_dir_fsync:
 - reiserfs_sync_file:

	never touch pagecache themselves.  We need to wait before if we do
	not want to expose stale data after an allocation.

 - afs_fsync:
 - fuse_fsync_common:

	do the waiting writeback itself in awkward ways, would benefit from
	proper semantics

 - block_fsync:

	Does a filemap_write_and_wait on the block device inode.  Because we
	now have f_mapping that is the same inode we call it on in vfs_fsync.
	So just removing it and letting the VFS do the work in one go would
	be an improvement.

 - btrfs_sync_file:
 - cifs_fsync:
 - xfs_file_fsync:

	need the wait first and currently do it themselves. would benefit from
	doing it outside i_mutex.

 - coda_fsync:
 - ecryptfs_fsync:
 - exofs_file_fsync:
 - shm_fsync:

	only passes the fsync through to the lower layer

 - ext3_sync_file:

	doesn't seem to care, comments are confusing.

 - ext4_sync_file:

	would need the wait to work correctly for delalloc mode with late
	i_size updates.  Otherwise the ext3 comment applies.

	currently implemens it's own writeback and wait in an odd way,
	could benefit from doing it properly.

 - gfs2_fsync:

	not needed for journaled data mode, but probably harmless there.
	Currently writes back data asynchronously itself.  Needs some
	major audit.

 - hostfs_fsync:

	just calls fsync/datasync on the host FD.  Without the wait before
	data might not even be inflight yet if we're unlucky.

 - hpfs_file_fsync:
 - ncp_fsync:

	no-ops.  Dangerous before and after.

 - jffs2_fsync:

	just calls jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc, not sure how this relates to data.

 - nfs_fsync_dir:

	just increments stats, claims all directory operations are synchronous

 - nfs_file_fsync:

	only writes out data???  Looks very odd.

 - nilfs_sync_file:

	looks like it expects all data done, but not sure from the code

 - ntfs_dir_fsync:
 - ntfs_file_fsync:

	appear to do their own data writeback.  Very convoluted code.

 - ocfs2_sync_file:

	does it's own data writeback, but no wait.  probably needs the wait.

 - smb_fsync:

	according to a comment expects all pages written already, probably needs
	the wait before.

This patch only changes vfs_fsync_range, removal of the wait in the methods
that have it is left to the filesystem maintainers.  Note that most
filesystems really do need an audit for their fsync methods given the
gems found in this very brief audit.

2f3d675bcd fat: Opencode sync_page_range_nolock()
fat_cont_expand() is the only user of sync_page_range_nolock(). It's also the
only user of generic_osync_inode() which does not have a file open.  So
opencode needed actions for FAT so that we can convert generic_osync_inode() to
a standard syncing path.

Update a comment about generic_osync_inode().

af0f4414f3 xfs: Convert sync_page_range() to simple filemap_write_and_wait_range()
Christoph Hellwig says that it is enough for XFS to call
filemap_write_and_wait_range() instead of sync_page_range() because we do
all the metadata syncing when forcing the log.

d23c937b0f ocfs2: Update syncing after splicing to match generic version
Update ocfs2 specific splicing code to use generic syncing helper. The sync now
does not happen under rw_lock because generic_write_sync() acquires i_mutex
which ranks above rw_lock. That should not matter because standard fsync path
does not hold it either.

148f948ba8 vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode
Introduce new function for generic inode syncing (vfs_fsync_range) and use
it from fsync() path. Introduce also new helper for syncing after a sync
write (generic_write_sync) using the generic function.

Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes
O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really
care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire
it before it returns.

eef9938067 vfs: Rename generic_file_aio_write_nolock
generic_file_aio_write_nolock() is now used only by block devices and raw
character device. Filesystems should use __generic_file_aio_write() in case
generic_file_aio_write() doesn't suit them. So rename the function to
blkdev_aio_write() and move it to fs/blockdev.c.

918941a3f3 ocfs2: Use __generic_file_aio_write instead of generic_file_aio_write_nolock
Use the new helper. We have to submit data pages ourselves in case of O_SYNC
write because __generic_file_aio_write does not do it for us. OCFS2 developpers
might think about moving the sync out of i_mutex which seems to be easily
possible but that's out of scope of this patch.

c7b50db21f vfs: Remove syncing from generic_file_direct_write() and generic_file_buffered_write()
generic_file_direct_write() and generic_file_buffered_write() called
generic_osync_inode() if it was called on O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode. But
this is superfluous since generic_file_aio_write() does the syncing as well.
Also XFS and OCFS2 which call these functions directly handle syncing
themselves. So let's have a single place where syncing happens:
generic_file_aio_write().

We slightly change the behavior by syncing only the range of file to which the
write happened for buffered writes but that should be all that is required.
