lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.
This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().
We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.
This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.
Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

A couple of HDIO IOCTLs are not yet handled and a few others are marked
as using a pointer rather than an unsigned long. The formers include:
HDIO_GET_WCACHE, HDIO_GET_ACOUSTIC, HDIO_GET_ADDRESS and
HDIO_GET_BUSSTATE. The latters are: HDIO_SET_MULTCOUNT,
HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR, HDIO_SET_KEEPSETTINGS, HDIO_SET_32BIT,
HDIO_SET_NOWERR, HDIO_SET_DMA, HDIO_SET_PIO_MODE and HDIO_SET_NICE.
Additionally 0x330 used to be HDIO_GETGEO_BIG and may be issued by 32-bit
`hdparm' run on a 64-bit kernel making Linux complain loudly.
This is a fix for these issues.

This likely profiling is pretty fun. I found a few possible problems
in sched.c.
This patch may be not measurable, but when I did measure long ago,
nooping (un)likely cost a couple of % on scheduler heavy benchmarks, so
it all adds up.
Tweak some branch hints:
- the 2nd 64 bits in the bitmask is likely to be populated, because it
contains the first 28 bits (nearly 3/4) of the normal priorities.
(ratio of 669669:691 ~= 1000:1).
- it isn't unlikely that context switching switches to another process. it
might be very rapidly switching to and from the idle process (ratio of
475815:419004 and 471330:423544). Let the branch predictor decide.
- preempt_enable seems to be very often called in a nested preempt_disable
or with interrupts disabled (ratio of 3567760:87965 ~= 40:1)

Module taint flags listing in Oops/panic has a couple of issues:
* taint_flags() doesn't null-terminate the buffer after printing the flags
* per-module taints are only set if the kernel is not already tainted
(with that particular flag) => only the first offending module gets its
taint info correctly updated
Some additional changes:
* 'license_gplok' is no longer needed - equivalent to !(taints &
TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE) - so we can drop it from struct module *
exporting module taint info via /proc/module:
pwc 88576 0 - Live 0xf8c32000

This is a follow-up patch based on the review for perfmon2. This patch
adds the carta_random32() library routine + carta_random32.h header file.
This is fast, simple, and efficient pseudo number generator algorithm. We
use it in perfmon2 to randomize the sampling periods. In this context, we
do not need any fancy randomizer.

Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism
with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait
is:
int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents,
int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize);
The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the
latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting
for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event,
or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system
call will act exactly like epoll_wait. For the POSIX definition of
pselect, information is available here:

As we are planning to support 48-bit block numbers for ext4, we need to
support 48-bit block numbers for extended attributes. In the short term, we
can do this by reuse (on-disk) 16-bit padding (linux2.i_pad1 currently used
only by "hurd") as high order bits for xattr. This patch basically does that.
