c83ce989cb VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38
The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
appropriate unlink rpc call.

Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
whether or not there is a race:
  - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
  - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
    the dentries in that super block.
  - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
    deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
    is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

c826cb7dfc dcache.c: create helper function for duplicated functionality
This creates a helper function for he "try to ascend into the parent
directory" case, which was written out in triplicate before.  With all
the locking and subtle sequence number stuff, we really don't want to
duplicate that kind of code.

b356379a02 Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhere
The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted
to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and
path_openat().

Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution;
can't avoid it, really.  However, it's strictly for nested symlinks
now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname.

link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything
except the last component.

do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.

ce0525449d simplify link_path_walk() tail
Now that link_path_walk() is called without LOOKUP_PARENT
only from do_follow_link(), we can simplify the checks in
last component handling.  First of all, checking if we'd
arrived to a directory is not needed - the caller will check
it anyway.  And LOOKUP_FOLLOW is guaranteed to be there,
since we only get to that place with nd->depth > 0.

5e814dd597 perf probe: Clean up probe_point_lazy_walker() return value
Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about:

        return ret < 0 ?: 0;

For the following reason:

  util/probe-finder.c: In function ‘probe_point_lazy_walker’:
  util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses]

And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value
of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses
GCC as well.

65cfc67223 readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames
For readlinkat() we simply allow empty pathname; it will fail unless
we have dfd equal to O_PATH-opened symlink, so we are outside of
POSIX scope here.  For fchownat() and fstatat() we allow AT_EMPTY_PATH;
let the caller explicitly ask for such behaviour.

bcda76524c Allow O_PATH for symlinks
At that point we can't do almost nothing with them.  They can be opened
with O_PATH, we can manipulate such descriptors with dup(), etc. and
we can see them in /proc/*/{fd,fdinfo}/*.

We can't (and won't be able to) follow /proc/*/fd/* symlinks for those;
there's simply not enough information for pathname resolution to go on
from such point - to resolve a symlink we need to know which directory
does it live in.

We will be able to do useful things with them after the next commit, though -
readlinkat() and fchownat() will be possible to use with dfd being an
O_PATH-opened symlink and empty relative pathname.  Combined with
open_by_handle() it'll give us a way to do realink-by-handle and
lchown-by-handle without messing with more redundant syscalls.

	* almost all operations on the resulting descriptors shall
fail with -EBADF.  Exceptions are:
	1) operations on descriptors themselves (i.e.
		close(), dup(), dup2(), dup3(), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD),
		fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, ...), fcntl(fd, F_GETFD),
		fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, ...))
	2) fcntl(fd, F_GETFL), for a common non-destructive way to
		check if descriptor is open
	3) "dfd" arguments of ...at(2) syscalls, i.e. the starting
		points of pathname resolution
	* closing such descriptor does *NOT* affect dnotify or
posix locks.
	* permissions are checked as usual along the way to file;
no permission checks are applied to the file itself.  Of course,
giving such thing to syscall will result in permission checks (at
the moment it means checking that starting point of ....at() is
a directory and caller has exec permissions on it).

fget() and fget_light() return NULL on such descriptors; use of
fget_raw() and fget_raw_light() is needed to get them.  That protects
existing code from dealing with those things.

There are two things still missing (they come in the next commits):
one is handling of symlinks (right now we refuse to open them that
way; see the next commit for semantics related to those) and another
is descriptor passing via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.

dc1b83ab08 oom: oom_kill_process: fix the child_points logic
oom_kill_process() starts with victim_points == 0.  This means that
(most likely) any child has more points and can be killed erroneously.

Also, "children has a different mm" doesn't match the reality, we should
check child->mm != t->mm.  This check is not exactly correct if t->mm ==
NULL but this doesn't really matter, oom_kill_task() will kill them
anyway.

Note: "Kill all processes sharing p->mm" in oom_kill_task() is wrong
too.

07d5ecae29 arm: Remove bogus comment in futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
commit 522d7dec(futex: Remove redundant pagefault_disable in
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()) added a bogus comment.

/* Note that preemption is disabled by futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic
 * call sites. */

Bogus in two aspects:

1) pagefault_disable != preempt_disable even if the mechanism we use
   is the same

2) we have a call site which deliberately does not disable pagefaults
   as it wants the possible fault to be handled - though that has been
   changed for consistency reasons now.

Sigh. I really should have seen that when committing the above. :(

6e0aa9f8a8 futex: Deobfuscate handle_futex_death()
handle_futex_death() uses futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() without
disabling page faults. That's ok, but totally non obvious.

We don't hold locks so we actually can and want to fault here, because
the get_user() before futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not
guarantee a R/W mapping.

We could just add a big fat comment to explain this, but actually
changing the code so that the functionality is entirely clear is
better.

Use the helper function which disables page faults around the
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() and handle a fault with a call to
fault_in_user_writeable() as all other places in the futex code do as
well.

9ced975711 MIPS: Alchemy: Fix reset for MTX-1 and XXS1500
Since commit 32fd6901 (MIPS: Alchemy: get rid of common/reset.c)
Alchemy-based boards use their own reset function. For MTX-1 and XXS1500,
the reset function pokes at the BCSR.SYSTEM_RESET register, but this does
not work. According to Bruno Randolf, this was not tested when written.

Previously, the generic au1000_restart() routine called the board specific
reset function, which for MTX-1 and XXS1500 did not work, but finally made
a jump to the reset vector, which really triggers a system restart. Fix
reboot for both targets by jumping to the reset vector.

When au1000_eth probes the MII bus for PHY address, if we do not set
au1000_eth platform data's phy_search_highest_address, the MII probing
logic will exit early and will assume a valid PHY is found at address 0.
For MTX-1, the PHY is at address 31, and without this patch, the link
detection/speed/duplex would not work correctly.
