add it to the oldest anon_vma.

ecryptfs: fix use with tmpfs by removing d_drop from ecryptfs_destroy_inode
Since tmpfs has no persistent storage, it pins all its dentries in memory
so they have d_count=1 when other file systems would have d_count=0.
->lookup is only used to create new dentries. If the caller doesn't
instantiate it, it's freed immediately at dput(). ->readdir reads
directly from the dcache and depends on the dentries being hashed.
When an ecryptfs mount is mounted, it associates the lower file and dentry
with the ecryptfs files as they're accessed. When it's umounted and
destroys all the in-memory ecryptfs inodes, it fput's the lower_files and
d_drop's the lower_dentries. Commit 4981e081 added this and a d_delete in
2008 and several months later commit caeeeecf removed the d_delete. I
believe the d_drop() needs to be removed as well.
The d_drop effectively hides any file that has been accessed via ecryptfs
from the underlying tmpfs since it depends on it being hashed for it to
be accessible. I've removed the d_drop on my development node and see no
ill effects with basic testing on both tmpfs and persistent storage.
As a side effect, after ecryptfs d_drops the dentries on tmpfs, tmpfs
BUGs on umount. This is due to the dentries being unhashed.
tmpfs->kill_sb is kill_litter_super which calls d_genocide to drop
the reference pinning the dentry. It skips unhashed and negative dentries,
but shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree doesn't. Since those dentries
still have an elevated d_count, we get a BUG().
This patch removes the d_drop call and fixes both issues.

xfs: ensure that sync updates the log tail correctly
Updates to the VFS layer removed an extra ->sync_fs call into the
filesystem during the sync process (from the quota code).
Unfortunately the sync code was unknowingly relying on this call to
make sure metadata buffers were flushed via a xfs_buftarg_flush()
call to move the tail of the log forward in memory before the final
transactions of the sync process were issued.
As a result, the old code would write a very recent log tail value
to the log by the end of the sync process, and so a subsequent crash
would leave nothing for log recovery to do. Hence in qa test 182,
log recovery only replayed a small handle for inode fsync
transactions in this case.
However, with the removal of the extra ->sync_fs call, the log tail
was now not moved forward with the inode fsync transactions near the
end of the sync procese the first (and only) buftarg flush occurred
after these transactions went to disk. The result is that log
recovery now sees a large number of transactions for metadata that
is already on disk.
This usually isn't a problem, but when the transactions include
inode chunk allocation, the inode create transactions and all
subsequent changes are replayed as we cannt rely on what is on disk
is valid. As a result, if the inode was written and contains
unlogged changes, the unlogged changes are lost, thereby violating
sync semantics.
The fix is to always issue a transaction after the buftarg flush
occurs is the log iѕ not idle or covered. This results in a dummy
transaction being written that contains the up-to-date log tail
value, which will be very recent. Indeed, it will be at least as
recent as the old code would have left on disk, so log recovery
will behave exactly as it used to in this situation.

m68k: Fix `struct sigcontext' for ColdFire
LibSegFault uses piggybacks sc_fpstate field of the `struct sigcontext'
and this patch avoids LibSegFault overflowing this field. Also this
removes an unnecessary divergence from classic m68k.
There is existing kernel code that uses a larger precision.
An example from the audit code:
vsnprintf(...,..., " msg='%.1024s'", (char *)data);
which overflows precision and truncates to nothing.
Extending precision size fixes the audit system issue.
Other changes:
Change the size of the struct printf_spec.type from u16 to u8 so
sizeof(struct printf_spec) stays as small as possible.
Reorder the struct members so sizeof(struct printf_spec) remains 64 bits
without alignment holes.
Document the struct members a bit more.

lguest: stop using KVM hypercall mechanism
This is a partial revert of 4cd8b5e2a159 "lguest: use KVM hypercalls";
we revert to using (just as questionable but more reliable) int $15 for
hypercalls. I didn't revert the register mapping, so we still use the
same calling convention as kvm.
KVM in more recent incarnations stopped injecting a fault when a guest
tried to use the VMCALL instruction from ring 1, so lguest under kvm
fails to make hypercalls. It was nice to share code with our KVM
cousins, but this was overreach.

The following situation was observed in the field:
tap1 sends packets, tap2 does not consume them, as a result
tap1 can not be closed. This happens because
tun/tap devices can hang on to skbs undefinitely.
As noted by Herbert, possible solutions include a timeout followed by a
copy/change of ownership of the skb, or always copying/changing
ownership if we're going into a hostile device.
This patch implements the second approach.
Note: one issue still remaining is that since skbs
keep reference to tun socket and tun socket has a
reference to tun device, we won't flush backlog,
instead simply waiting for all skbs to get transmitted.
At least this is not user-triggerable, and
this was not reported in practice, my assumption is
other devices besides tap complete an skb
within finite time after it has been queued.
A possible solution for the second issue
would not to have socket reference the device,
instead, implement dev->destructor for tun, and
wait for all skbs to complete there, but this
needs some thought, probably too risky for 2.6.34.

rcu: Better explain the condition parameter of rcu_dereference_check()
Better explain the condition parameter of
rcu_dereference_check() that describes the conditions under
which the dereference is permitted to take place (and
incorporate Yong Zhang's suggestion). This condition is only
checked under lockdep proving.
rcu: Add rcu_access_pointer and rcu_dereference_protected
This patch adds variants of rcu_dereference() that handle
situations where the RCU-protected data structure cannot change,
perhaps due to our holding the update-side lock, or where the
RCU-protected pointer is only to be fetched, not dereferenced.
These are needed due to some performance concerns with using
rcu_dereference() where it is not required, aside from the need
for lockdep/sparse checking.
The new rcu_access_pointer() primitive is for the case where the
pointer is be fetch and not dereferenced. This primitive may be
used without protection, RCU or otherwise, due to the fact that
it uses ACCESS_ONCE().
The new rcu_dereference_protected() primitive is for the case
where updates are prevented, for example, due to holding the
update-side lock. This primitive does neither ACCESS_ONCE() nor
smp_read_barrier_depends(), so can only be used when updates are
somehow prevented.

ARM: 6007/1: fix highmem with VIPT cache and DMA
The VIVT cache of a highmem page is always flushed before the page
is unmapped. This cache flush is explicit through flush_cache_kmaps()
in flush_all_zero_pkmaps(), or through __cpuc_flush_dcache_area() in
kunmap_atomic(). There is also an implicit flush of those highmem pages
that were part of a process that just terminated making those pages free
as the whole VIVT cache has to be flushed on every task switch. Hence
unmapped highmem pages need no cache maintenance in that case.
However unmapped pages may still be cached with a VIPT cache because the
cache is tagged with physical addresses. There is no need for a whole
cache flush during task switching for that reason, and despite the
explicit cache flushes in flush_all_zero_pkmaps() and kunmap_atomic(),
some highmem pages that were mapped in user space end up still cached
even when they become unmapped.
So, we do have to perform cache maintenance on those unmapped highmem
pages in the context of DMA when using a VIPT cache. Unfortunately,
it is not possible to perform that cache maintenance using physical
addresses as all the L1 cache maintenance coprocessor functions accept
virtual addresses only. Therefore we have no choice but to set up a
temporary virtual mapping for that purpose.
And of course the explicit cache flushing when unmapping a highmem page
on a system with a VIPT cache now can go, which should increase
performance.
While at it, because the code in __flush_dcache_page() has to be modified
anyway, let's also make sure the mapped highmem pages are pinned with
kmap_high_get() for the duration of the cache maintenance operation.
Because kunmap() does unmap highmem pages lazily, it was reported by
Gary King <GKing@nvidia.com> that those pages ended up being unmapped
during cache maintenance on SMP causing segmentation faults.
