It seems idev field in struct rtable has no special purpose, but adding
extra atomic ops.
We hold refcounts on the device itself (using percpu data, so pretty
cheap in current kernel).
infiniband case is solved using dst.dev instead of idev->dev
Removal of this field means routing without route cache is now using
shared data, percpu data, and only potential contention is a pair of
atomic ops on struct neighbour per forwarded packet.
About 5% speedup on routing test.

It is important to move nud_state outside of the often modified cache
line (because of refcnt), to reduce false sharing in neigh_event_send()
This is a followup of commit 0ed8ddf404 (neigh: Protect neigh->ha[]

While tracking dev_base_lock users, I found decnet used it in
dnet_select_source(), but for a wrong purpose:
Writers only hold RTNL, not dev_base_lock, so readers must use RCU if
they cannot use RTNL.
Adds an rcu_head in struct dn_ifaddr and handle proper RCU management.
Adds __rcu annotation in dn_route as well.

The existing asm-generic/stat.h specifies st_mtime, etc., as a 32-value,
and works well for 32-bit architectures (currently microblaze, score,
and 32-bit tile). However, for 64-bit architectures it isn't sufficient
to return 32 bits of time_t; this isn't good insurance against the 2037
rollover. (It also makes glibc support less convenient, since we can't
use glibc's handy STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT mode.)
This change extends the two "timespec" fields for each of the three atime,
mtime, and ctime fields from "int" to "long". As a result, on 32-bit
platforms nothing changes, and 64-bit platforms will now work as expected.
The only wrinkle is 32-bit userspace under 64-bit kernels taking advantage
of COMPAT mode. For these, we leave the "struct stat64" definitions with
the "int" versions of the time_t and nsec fields, so that architectures
can implement compat_sys_stat64() and friends with sys_stat64(), etc.,
and get the expected 32-bit structure layout. This requires a
field-by-field copy in the kernel, implemented by the code guarded
under __ARCH_WANT_STAT64.
This does mean that the shape of the "struct stat" and "struct stat64"
structures is different on a 64-bit kernel, but only one of the two
structures should ever be used by any given process: "struct stat"
is meant for 64-bit userspace only, and "struct stat64" for 32-bit
userspace only. (On a 32-bit kernel the two structures continue to have
the same shape, since "long" is 32 bits.)
The alternative is keeping the two structures the same shape on 64-bit
kernels, which means a 64-bit time_t in "struct stat64" for 32-bit
processes. This is a little unnatural since 32-bit userspace can't
do anything with 64 bits of time_t information, since time_t is just
"long", not "int64_t"; and in any case 32-bit userspace might expect
to be running under a 32-bit kernel, which can't provide the high 32
bits anyway. In the case of a 32-bit kernel we'd then be extending the
kernel's 32-bit time_t to 64 bits, then truncating it back to 32 bits
again in userspace, for no particular reason. And, as mentioned above,
if we have 64-bit time_t for 32-bit processes we can't easily use glibc's
STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT, since glibc's stat structure requires an embedded
"struct timespec", which is a pair of "long" (32-bit) values in a 32-bit
userspace. "Inventive" solutions are possible, but are pretty hacky.

While auditing all tasklist_lock read_lock sites I stumbled over the
following call chain:
audit_prepare_user_tty()
read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
tty_audit_push_task();
mutex_lock(&buf->mutex);
--> buf->mutex is locked with preemption disabled.
Solve this by acquiring a reference to the task struct under
rcu_read_lock and call tty_audit_push_task outside of the preempt
disabled region.
Move all code which needs to be protected by sighand lock into
tty_audit_push_task() and use lock/unlock_sighand as we do not hold
tasklist_lock.

On i386 (not x86_64) early implementations of gcc would have a bug
with asm goto causing it to produce code like the following:
(This was noticed by Peter Zijlstra)
56 pushl 0
67 nopl jmp 0x6f
popl
jmp 0x8c
6f mov
test
je 0x8c
8c mov
call *(%esp)
The jump added in the asm goto skipped over the popl that matched
the pushl 0, which lead up to a quick crash of the system when
the jump was enabled. The nopl is defined in the asm goto () statement
and when tracepoints are enabled, the nop changes to a jump to the label
that was specified by the asm goto. asm goto is suppose to tell gcc that
the code in the asm might jump to an external label. Here gcc obviously
fails to make that work.
The bug report for gcc is here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46226
The bug only appears on x86 when not compiled with
-maccumulate-outgoing-args. This option is always set on x86_64 and it
is also the work around for a function graph tracer i386 bug.
(See commit: 746357d6a5)
This explains why the bug only showed up on i386 when function graph
tracer was not enabled.
This patch now adds a CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL option that is default
off instead of using jump labels by default. When jump labels are
enabled, the -maccumulate-outgoing-args will be used (causing a
slightly larger kernel image on i386). This option will exist
until we have a way to detect if the gcc compiler in use is safe
to use on all configurations without the work around.
Note, there exists such a test, but for now we will keep the enabling
of jump label as a manual option.
Archs that know the compiler is safe with asm goto, may choose to
select JUMP_LABEL and enable it by default.

The kgdb_disable_hw_debug() was an architecture specific function for
disabling all hardware breakpoints on a per cpu basis when entering
the debug core.
This patch will remove the weak function kdbg_disable_hw_debug() and
change it into a call back which lives with the rest of hw breakpoint
call backs in struct kgdb_arch.

We used to protect against overflow, but rather than return an error, do
what read/write does, namely to limit the total size to MAX_RW_COUNT.
This is not only more consistent, but it also means that any broken
low-level read/write routine that still keeps counts in 'int' can't
break.

When btrfs is running low on metadata space, it needs to force delayed
allocation pages to disk. It currently does this with a suboptimal walk
of a private list of inodes with delayed allocation, and it would be
much better if we used the generic flusher threads.
writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle would be ideal, but it waits for the flusher
thread to start IO on all the dirty pages in the FS before it returns.
This adds variants of writeback_inodes_sb* that allow the caller to
control how many pages get sent down.
