Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM
registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module.User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no
security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM
asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security
module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen.LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register
by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux
and SMACK to do so.Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on
boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and
the initial task security setup (swapper->security) is done.Signed-off-by: Ahmed S. Darwish

/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects.
Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain
backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After
some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds
documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb
is used for.Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

Add ABI documentation for these files:

drivers enabled by "ide0=" options (they all are mutually exclusive).* Make ide-4drives host driver probe itself for IDE devices instead of
indirectly depending on ide_generic host driver.* Add "probe" module parameter to ide-4drives and update documentation.

ide_unregister().* Add "delete_devices" class device attribute for unregistering IDE devices
on a port and "scan" one for probing+registering IDE devices on a port.* Add ide_sysfs_register_port() helper for registering "delete_devices"

These new controls toggle experimental support for a new CPU feature,
the straightforward extension of largepages from the pmd level to the
pud level, which allows 1GB (kernel) TLBs instead of 2MB TLBs.Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet.
Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the

nogbpages boot option disables it.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

As shown by Gurudas Pai recently, we can put hugepages into the surplus
state (by echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages), even when
/proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages is 0. This is actually correct, to
allow the original goal (shrink the static pool to 0) to succeed (we are
converting hugepages to surplus because they are in use). However, the
documentation does not accurately reflect this case. Update it.Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan
