Tighten the use of return values from the target map and end_io functions.
Values of 2 and above are now explictly reserved for future use. There are no
existing targets using such values.
The patch has no effect on existing behaviour.
o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target map functions.
Any positive value currently indicates "mapping complete", but all
existing drivers use the value 1. We now make that a requirement
so we can assign new meaning to higher values in future.
The new definition of return values from target map functions is:
< 0 : error
= 0 : The target will handle the io (DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED).
= 1 : Mapping completed (DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED).
> 1 : Reserved (undefined). Previously this was the same as '= 1'.
o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target end_io functions
for similar reasons.
DM_ENDIO_INCOMPLETE is introduced for a return value of 1.
Test results:
I have tested by using the multipath target.
I/Os succeed when valid paths exist.
I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set.
I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set.

This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature.
The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are
interested in.
For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into
only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call,
but also indirect allocation, too.
- e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone
--> kmem_cache_alloc
This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace
and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh
helps it.
The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be
[/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text)
So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start
and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified
by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.

failures only for a specific module

driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to
give this one a good hard stare.
The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be
defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support. The
code patches here ensure that providing
1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory
2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none)
the existing behaviour is retained. This is true for the patches at this
point in time.
Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures
for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also
vanish.

This facility provides three entry points:
ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64
These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:
int do_something(long q)
{
...;
y = ilog2(x)
...;
}
Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:
unsigned n = ilog2(27);
When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.
When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as
they wish. The code is derived from arch/powerpc.
The advantages of having common BUG handling are:
- consistent BUG reporting across architectures
- shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data
- implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently
This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction
itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64.
A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction,
which has file/line information associated with it. This extra information is
stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file.
When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might
possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction).
It then calls report_bug(). This searches __bug_table for a matching
instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line
information. If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the
trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE.
Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the
illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG.
lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table
entries. The architecture must call
module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding
module_finalize/cleanup functions.
Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount.
At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each
but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at
all.
Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so
architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in
the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point.
gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the
same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG
itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in
generating the __bug_table entry.

md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain. This
(normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a
reconfig_mutex in a different device.
I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy
a deadlock could happen. However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock
and should be fixed independently.
So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock. This requires defining
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

Fix the locking of signal->tty.
Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
invocations)

This allows workqueue users to run just their own pending work, rather
than wait for the whole workqueue to finish running. This solves the
deadlock with networking libphy that was due to other workqueue entries
possibly needing a lock that was held by the routine that wanted to
flush its own work.
It's not wonderful: if you absolutely need to synchronize with the work
function having been executed, any user strictly speaking should have
its own completion tracking logic, since when we run things explicitly
by hand, the generic workqueue layer can no longer help us synchronize.
Also, this is strictly only usable for work that has been scheduled
without any delayed timers. You can not mix the new interface with
schedule_delayed_work().
But it's better than what we had currently.
