Eric Paris cac69dad32 fsnotify: lock annotation for event replacement
fsnotify_replace_event need to lock both the old and the new event.  This
causes lockdep to get all pissed off since it dosn't know this is safe.
It's safe in this case since the new event is impossible to be reached from
other places in the kernel.

Eric Paris 1201a5361b fsnotify: replace an event on a list
fanotify would like to clone events already on its notification list, make
changes to the new event, and then replace the old event on the list with
the new event.  This patch implements the replace functionality of that
process.

Eric Paris b4e4e14073 fsnotify: clone existing events
fsnotify_clone_event will take an event, clone it, and return the cloned
event to the caller.  Since events may be in use by multiple fsnotify
groups simultaneously certain event entries (such as the mask) cannot be
changed after the event was created.  Since fanotify would like to merge
events happening on the same file it needs a new clean event to work with
so it can change any fields it wishes.

Eric Paris 74766bbfa9 fsnotify: per group notification queue merge types
inotify only wishes to merge a new event with the last event on the
notification fifo.  fanotify is willing to merge any events including by
means of bitwise OR masks of multiple events together.  This patch moves
the inotify event merging logic out of the generic fsnotify notification.c
and into the inotify code.  This allows each use of fsnotify to provide
their own merge functionality.

Eric Paris 28c60e37f8 fsnotify: send struct file when sending events to parents when possible
fanotify needs a path in order to open an fd to the object which changed.
Currently notifications to inode's parents are done using only the inode.
For some parental notification we have the entire file, send that so
fanotify can use it.

Eric Paris 2a12a9d781 fsnotify: pass a file instead of an inode to open, read, and write
fanotify, the upcoming notification system actually needs a struct path so it can
do opens in the context of listeners, and it needs a file so it can get f_flags
from the original process.  Close was the only operation that already was passing
a struct file to the notification hook.  This patch passes a file for access,
modify, and open as well as they are easily available to these hooks.

Eric Paris 8112e2d6a7 fsnotify: include data in should_send calls
fanotify is going to need to look at file->private_data to know if an event
should be sent or not.  This passes the data (which might be a file,
dentry, inode, or none) to the should_send function calls so fanotify can
get that information when available

Eric Paris 7b0a04fbfb fsnotify: provide the data type to should_send_event
fanotify is only interested in event types which contain enough information
to open the original file in the context of the fanotify listener.  Since
fanotify may not want to send events if that data isn't present we pass
the data type to the should_send_event function call so fanotify can express
its lack of interest.

Eric Paris 7050c48826 inotify: do not reuse watch descriptors
Prior to 2.6.31 inotify would not reuse watch descriptors until all of
them had been used at least once.  After the rewrite inotify would reuse
watch descriptors.  The selinux utility 'restorecond' was found to have
problems when watch descriptors were reused.  This patch reverts to the
pre inotify rewrite behavior to not reuse watch descriptors.

Eric Paris b4277d3dd5 fsnotify: use fsnotify_create_event to allocate the q_overflow event
Currently fsnotify defines a static fsnotify event which is sent when a
group overflows its allotted queue length.  This patch just allocates that
event from the event cache rather than defining it statically.  There is no
known reason that the current implementation is wrong, but this makes sure the
event is initialized and created like any other.

Eric Paris 1a3aedbce4 Audit: audit watch init should not be before fsnotify init
Audit watch init and fsnotify init both use subsys_initcall() but since the
audit watch code is linked in before the fsnotify code the audit watch code
would be using the fsnotify srcu struct before it was initialized.  This
patch fixes that problem by moving audit watch init to device_initcall() so
it happens after fsnotify is ready.

Peter Zijlstra 6b95ed345b perf, powerpc: Use perf_sample_data_init() for the FSL code
We should use perf_sample_data_init() to initialize struct
perf_sample_data.  As explained in the description of commit dc1d628a
("perf: Provide generic perf_sample_data initialization"), it is
possible for userspace to get the kernel to dereference data.raw,
so if it is not initialized, that means that unprivileged userspace
can possibly oops the kernel.  Using perf_sample_data_init makes sure
it gets initialized to NULL.

This conversion should have been included in commit dc1d628a, but it
got missed.

Matthew Garrett 179ee43465 [CPUFREQ] Fix PCC driver error path
The PCC cpufreq driver unmaps the mailbox address range if any CPUs fail to
initialise, but doesn't do anything to remove the registered CPUs from the
cpufreq core resulting in failures further down the line. We're better off
simply returning a failure - the cpufreq core will unregister us cleanly if
we end up with no successfully registered CPUs. Tidy up the failure path
and also add a sanity check to ensure that the firmware gives us a realistic
frequency - the core deals badly with that being set to 0.

Matthew Garrett 47f8bcf362 [CPUFREQ] pcc driver should check for pcch method before calling _OSC
The pcc specification documents an _OSC method that's incompatible with the
one defined as part of the ACPI spec. This shouldn't be a problem as both
are supposed to be guarded with a UUID. Unfortunately approximately nobody
(including HP, who wrote this spec) properly check the UUID on entry to the
_OSC call. Right now this could result in surprising behaviour if the pcc
driver performs an _OSC call on a machine that doesn't implement the pcc
specification. Check whether the PCCH method exists first in order to reduce
this probability.
