8857563b81 notifier: Substitute rcu_access_pointer() for rcu_dereference_raw()
(Trivial patch.)

If the code is looking at the RCU-protected pointer itself, but not
dereferencing it, the rcu_dereference() functions can be downgraded
to rcu_access_pointer().  This commit makes this downgrade in
__blocking_notifier_call_chain() which simply compares the RCU-protected
pointer against NULL with no dereferencing.

9984de1a5a kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h
The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else.  Revector them
onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

  -#include <linux/module.h>
  +#include <linux/export.h>

This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

c5f41752fd notifiers: sys: move reboot notifiers into reboot.h
It is not necessary to share the same notifier.h.

This patch already moves register_reboot_notifier() and
unregister_reboot_notifier() from kernel/notifier.c to kernel/sys.c.

8f27008358 kprobes: Fix to add __kprobes to notify_die
Add __kprobes to notify_die() because do_int3() calls notify_die()
instead of atomic_notify_call_chain() which is already marked as
__kprobes.

36dcd67ae9 ftrace: ignore functions that cannot be kprobe-ed
kprobes already has an extensive list of annotations for functions
that should not be instrumented. Add notrace annotations to these
functions as well.

This is particularly useful for functions called by the NMI path.

1b2439dbb7 debug: add notifier chain debugging
during some development we suspected a case where we left something
in a notifier chain that was from a module that was unloaded already...
and that sort of thing is rather hard to track down.

This patch adds a very simple sanity check (which isn't all that
expensive) to make sure the notifier we're about to call is
actually from either the kernel itself of from a still-loaded
module, avoiding a hard-to-chase-down crash.

6546bc4279 ipc: re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing msgmni if set to negative
The enhancement as asked for by Yasunori: if msgmni is set to a negative
value, register it back into the ipcns notifier chain.

A new interface has been added to the notification mechanism:
notifier_chain_cond_register() registers a notifier block only if not already
registered.  With that new interface we avoid taking care of the states
changes in procfs.

fe9d4f5763 Add kernel/notifier.c
There is separate notifier header, but no separate notifier .c file.

Extract notifier code out of kernel/sys.c which will remain for
misc syscalls I hope. Merge kernel/die_notifier.c into kernel/notifier.c.
