Add kerneldoc annotations for function formals of type struct flex_array

FLEX_ARRAY_INIT(element_size, total_nr_elements) cannot determine if
either parameter is valid, so flex arrays which are statically allocated
with this interface can easily become corrupted or reference beyond its
allocated memory.This removes FLEX_ARRAY_INIT() as a struct flex_array initializer since no
initializer may perform the required checking. Instead, the array is now
defined with a new interface:DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY(name, element_size, total_nr_elements)
This may be prefixed with `static' for file scope.
This interface includes compile-time checking of the parameters to ensure
they are valid. Since the validity of both element_size and
total_nr_elements depend on FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_SIZE and FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE,
the kernel build will fail if either of these predefined values changes
such that the array parameters are no longer valid.Since BUILD_BUG_ON() requires compile time constants, several of the
static inline functions that were once local to lib/flex_array.c had to be
moved to include/linux/flex_array.h.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

Add a new function to the flex_array API:
int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *fa)
This function will free all unused second-level pages. Since elements are

identify parts that consist solely of unused elements.flex_array_shrink() returns the number of pages freed.

Newly initialized flex_array's and/or flex_array_part's are now poisoned
with a new poison value, FLEX_ARRAY_FREE. It's value is similar to
POISON_FREE used in the various slab allocators, but is different to
distinguish between flex array's poisoned kmem and slab allocator poisoned
kmem.This will allow us to identify flex_array_part's that only contain free
elements (and free them with an addition to the flex_array API). This
could also be extended in the future to identify `get' uses on elements
that have not been `put'.If __GFP_ZERO is passed for a part's gfp mask, the poisoning is avoided.
These elements are considered to be in-use since they have been
initialized.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

Add a new function to the flex_array API:

Although this is equivalent to using flex_array_put() and passing a
pointer to zero'd memory, flex_array_clear() does not require such a
pointer to memory that would most likely need to be allocated on the
caller's stack which could be significantly large depending on
element_size.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

On PowerPC64 function pointers do not point directly at the functions,
but instead point to pointers to the functions. The output of %pF expects
to point to a pointer to the function, whereas %pS will show the function
itself.mcount returns the direct pointer to the function and not the pointer to
the pointer. Thus %pS must be used to show this. The function tracer
requires printing of the functions without offsets and uses the %pf
instead.%pF produces run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f
%pf produces just run_local_timersFor PowerPC64, we need to use the direct pointer, and we only have
%pS which will produce .run_local_timers+0x4/0x1fThis patch creates a %ps that matches the %pf as %pS matches %pF.

Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking
for credential management. The additional code keeps track of the number of
pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that
this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes
all references, not just those from task_structs).Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security
pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd
kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the
credential struct has been previously released):http://www.kerneloops.org/oops.php?number=252883

It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as
part of the flex array API.flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative
quantity, which is obviously erroneous.flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in
dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before
struct flex_array.The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as
unsigned. Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max
array size based on element_size need not be changed.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

If all array elements fit into the base structure and data is copied using
flex_array_put() starting at a non-zero index, flex_array_get() will fail
to return the data.This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do
not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used. Otherwise,
fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts
structures needed and such element may never have been put. Thus, it will
remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base.Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all
elements do not fit in the base structure. This is otherwise unnecessary
since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already
hit a NULL pointer).Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

When 'and'ing two bitmasks (where 'andnot' is a variation on it), some
cases want to know whether the result is the empty set or not. In
particular, the TLB IPI sending code wants to do cpumask operations and
determine if there are any CPU's left in the final set.So this just makes the bitmask (and cpumask) functions return a boolean
for whether the result has any bits set.Cc: stable@kernel.org (2.6.30, needed by TLB shootdown fix)
