eaad084bb0 NOHZ: prevent multiplication overflow - stop timer for huge timeouts
get_next_timer_interrupt() returns a delta of (LONG_MAX > 1) in case
there is no timer pending. On 64 bit machines this results in a
multiplication overflow in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().

Reported by: Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Make the return value a constant and limit the return value to a 32 bit
value.

When the max timeout value is returned, we can safely stop the tick
timer device. The max jiffies delta results in a 12 days timeout for
HZ=1000.

In the long term the get_next_timer_interrupt() code needs to be
reworked to return ktime instead of jiffies, but we have to wait until
the last users of the original NO_IDLE_HZ code are converted.

25b86e0546 [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_ftp: fix newline sequence number calculation
When the packet size is changed by the FTP NAT helper, the connection
tracking helper adjusts the sequence number of the newline character
by the size difference. This is wrong because NAT sequence number
adjustment happens after helpers are called, so the unadjusted number
is compared to the already adjusted one.

7fe7f8487a NFS: Avoid a deadlock situation on write
When processes are allowed to attempt to lock a non-contiguous range of nfs
write requests, it is possible for generic_writepages to 'wrap round' the
address space, and call writepage() on a request that is already locked by
the same process.

We avoid the deadlock by checking if the page index is contiguous with the
list of nfs write requests that is already held in our
nfs_pageio_descriptor prior to attempting to lock a new request.

7bb44adef3 recalc_sigpending_tsk fixes
Steve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in
do_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals
from waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set.

In fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals
code are also subject to this problem in other race conditions.

This change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code.  It
changes the outside calls, as well as do_sigaction, to use the new
recalc_sigpending_and_wake instead.

5fcc57f2d5 freezer: fix PF_NOFREEZE vs freezeable race
This patch fixes the race pointed out by Oleg Nesterov.

* Freezer marks a thread as freezeable.
* The thread now marks itself PF_NOFREEZE, but it will be frozen on
  on calling try_to_freeze(). Thus the task is frozen, even though it doesn't
  want to.
* Subsequent thaw_processes() will also fail to thaw the task since it is
  marked PF_NOFREEZE.

Avoid this problem by checking the task's PF_NOFREEZE status in
frozen_processes() before marking the task as frozen.

ba96a0c880 freezer: fix vfork problem
Currently try_to_freeze_tasks() has to wait until all of the vforked processes
exit and for this reason every user can make it fail.  To fix this problem we
can introduce the additional process flag PF_FREEZER_SKIP to be used by tasks
that do not want to be counted as freezable by the freezer and want to have
TIF_FREEZE set nevertheless.  Then, this flag can be set by tasks using
sys_vfork() before they call wait_for_completion(&vfork) and cleared after
they have woken up.  After clearing it, the tasks should call try_to_freeze()
as soon as possible.

33e1c288da freezer: close potential race between refrigerator and thaw_tasks
If the freezing of tasks fails and a task is preempted in refrigerator()
before calling frozen_process(), then thaw_tasks() may run before this task is
frozen.  In that case the task will freeze and no one will thaw it.

To fix this race we can call freezing(current) in refrigerator() along with
frozen_process(current) under the task_lock() which also should be taken in
the error path of try_to_freeze_tasks() as well as in thaw_process().
Moreover, if thaw_process() additionally clears TIF_FREEZE for tasks that are
not frozen, we can be sure that all tasks are thawed and there are no pending
"freeze" requests after thaw_tasks() has run.

e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig

When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from

From the changelog:

		The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,

it does make a difference if the caller calls flush_workqueue() after

maximum slab size.  Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB.

So define a common maximum size for kmalloc.  For conveniences sake we use
the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB.  We limit the maximum size
to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations.

For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large
kmalloc sizes.  x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes.  So a small amount of
memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically
sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past)

Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to
MAX_ORDER.  We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the
number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct
grew beyond what the slab allocators supported.  This will avoid future
issues and f.e.  avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support.

CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it.

It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.

ade3aff25f slub: fix handling of oversized slabs
I'm getting zillions of undefined references to __kmalloc_size_too_large on
alpha.  For some reason alpha is building out-of-line copies of kmalloc_slab()
into lots of compilation units.

It turns out that gcc just isn't smart enough to work out that
__builtin_contant_p(size)==true implies that __builtin_contant_p(index)==true.

So let's give it a bit of help.

c59def9f22 Slab allocators: Drop support for destructors
There is no user of destructors left.  There is no reason why we should keep
checking for destructors calls in the slab allocators.

The RFC for this patch was discussed at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117882364330705&w=2

Destructors were mainly used for list management which required them to take a
spinlock.  Taking a spinlock in a destructor is a bit risky since the slab
allocators may run the destructors anytime they decide a slab is no longer
needed.

Patch drops destructor support.  Any attempt to use a destructor will BUG().

13b8d09f5d libata: track spindown status and skip spindown_compat if possible
Our assumption that most distros issue STANDBYNOW seems wrong.  The
upstream sysvinit and thus many distros including gentoo and opensuse
don't take any action for libata disks on spindown.  We can skip
compat handling for these distros so that they don't need to update
anything to take advantage of kernel-side shutdown.

3cadbcc098 libata-acpi: add ATA_FLAG_ACPI_SATA port flag
Whether a controller needs IDE or SATA ACPI hierarchy is determined by
the programming interface of the controller not by whether the
controller is SATA or PATA, or it supports slave device or not.  This
patch adds ATA_FLAG_ACPI_SATA port flags which tells libata-acpi that
the port needs SATA ACPI nodes, and sets the flag for ahci and
sata_sil24.

6ddcd3b020 libata: during revalidation, check n_sectors after device is configured
Device might be resized during ata_dev_configure() due to HPA or
(later) ACPI _GTF.  Currently it's worked around by caching n_sectors
before turning off HPA.  The cached original size is overwritten if
the device is reconfigured without being hardreset - which always
happens after configuring trasnfer mode.  If the device gets hardreset
for some reason after that, revalidation fails with -ENODEV.

This patch makes size checking more robust by moving n_sectors check
from ata_dev_reread_id() to ata_dev_revalidate() after the device is
fully configured.  No matter what happens during configuration, a
device must have the same n_sectors after fully configured to be
treated as the same device.
