instances like that had been kicked out, but that hadn't taken

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

hexagon:defconfig fails to build in linux-next since commit 332fd7c4fe
("genirq: Generic chip: Change irq_reg_{readl,writel} arguments").
The primary build failure is
arch/hexagon/include/asm/cacheflush.h: In function 'copy_to_user_page':
arch/hexagon/include/asm/cacheflush.h:89:22: error: 'VM_EXEC' undeclared
This is the result of including of <linux/io.h> from <linux/irq.h>,
which is now necessary due to the use of readl and writel from irq.h.
This causes recursive inclusions in hexagon code; cacheflush.h is included
from mm.h prior to the definition of VM_EXEC.
Fix the problem by moving copy_to_user_page from the hexagon include file to
arch/hexagon/mm/cache.c, similar to other architectures. After this change,
several redefinitions of readl and writel are reported. Those are caused
by recursive inclusions of io.h and asm/cacheflush.h. Fix those problems by
reducing the number of files included from those files. Also, it was necessary
to stop including asm-generic/cacheflush.h from asm/cacheflush.h. Instead,
functionality originally provided by asm-generic/cacheflush.h is now coded
in asm/cacheflush.h directly.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/hexagon uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. Currently hexagon does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.
show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.
* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.
alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
um, xtensa
* Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
The printed information is superset of what used to be there.
arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86
* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the
arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
Converted to use the generic version.
Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.

Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.
The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().
There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information.
This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.
Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used
in blackfin.
This patch brings the following behavior changes.
* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
printed. This is because the top frame was determined in
dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
sure whether that'd be necessary.
* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do
now.
An example WARN dump follows.

v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack(). This loses %ksp
from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.
dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file,
dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
- at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1
The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue. The build
breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.

module: printk message when module signature fail taints kernel.
Fix up all callers as they were before, with make one change: an
unsigned module taints the kernel, but doesn't turn off lockdep.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.
