Kenji Kaneshige ffa71f33a8 x86, ioremap: Fix incorrect physical address handling in PAE mode
Current x86 ioremap() doesn't handle physical address higher than
32-bit properly in X86_32 PAE mode. When physical address higher than
32-bit is passed to ioremap(), higher 32-bits in physical address is
cleared wrongly. Due to this bug, ioremap() can map wrong address to
linear address space.

In my case, 64-bit MMIO region was assigned to a PCI device (ioat
device) on my system. Because of the ioremap()'s bug, wrong physical
address (instead of MMIO region) was mapped to linear address space.
Because of this, loading ioatdma driver caused unexpected behavior
(kernel panic, kernel hangup, ...).

  rbtree: Undo augmented trees performance damage and regression

Peter Zijlstra b945d6b255 rbtree: Undo augmented trees performance damage and regression
Reimplement augmented RB-trees without sprinkling extra branches
all over the RB-tree code (which lives in the scheduler hot path).

This approach is 'borrowed' from Fabio's BFQ implementation and
relies on traversing the rebalance path after the RB-tree-op to
correct the heap property for insertion/removal and make up for
the damage done by the tree rotations.

For insertion the rebalance path is trivially that from the new
node upwards to the root, for removal it is that from the deepest
node in the path from the to be removed node that will still
be around after the removal.

[ This patch also fixes a video driver regression reported by
  Ali Gholami Rudi - the memtype->subtree_max_end was updated
  incorrectly. ]

Yehuda Sadeh ff49d74ad3 module: initialize module dynamic debug later
We should initialize the module dynamic debug datastructures
only after determining that the module is not loaded yet. This
fixes a bug that introduced in 2.6.35-rc2, where when a trying
to load a module twice, we also load it's dynamic printing data
twice which causes all sorts of nasty issues. Also handle

Ingo Molnar 0a54cec0c2 Merge branch 'linus' into core/rcu
Conflicts:

Merge reason: Resolve the conflict

Note, i picked the version from Linus's tree, which effectively reverts
the fs-writeback.c bits of:

  b97181f: fs: remove all rcu head initializations, except on_stack initializations

As the upstream changes to this file changed this code heavily and the
first attempt to resolve the conflict resulted in a non-booting kernel.
It's safer to re-try this portion of the commit cleanly.

Mathieu Desnoyers 551d55a944 tree/tiny rcu: Add debug RCU head objects
Helps finding racy users of call_rcu(), which results in hangs because list
entries are overwritten and/or skipped.

Changelog since v4:
- Bissectability is now OK
- Now generate a WARN_ON_ONCE() for non-initialized rcu_head passed to
  call_rcu(). Statically initialized objects are detected with
  object_is_static().
- Rename rcu_head_init_on_stack to init_rcu_head_on_stack.
- Remove init_rcu_head() completely.

Changelog since v3:
- Include comments from Lai Jiangshan

This new patch version is based on the debugobjects with the newly introduced
"active state" tracker.

Non-initialized entries are all considered as "statically initialized". An
activation fixup (triggered by call_rcu()) takes care of performing the debug
object initialization without issuing any warning. Since we cannot increase the
size of struct rcu_head, I don't see much room to put an identifier for
statically initialized rcu_head structures. So for now, we have to live without
"activation without explicit init" detection. But the main purpose of this debug
option is to detect double-activations (double call_rcu() use of a rcu_head
before the callback is executed), which is correctly addressed here.

This also detects potential internal RCU callback corruption, which would cause
the callbacks to be executed twice.

FUJITA Tomonori eb605a5754 swiotlb: add swiotlb_tbl_map_single library function
swiotlb_tbl_map_single() takes the dma address of iotlb instead of
using swiotlb_virt_to_bus().

[v2: changed swiotlb_tlb to swiotlb_tbl]
[v3: changed u64 to dma_addr_t]

This patch:

This is a set of patches that separate the address translation
(virt_to_phys, virt_to_bus, etc) and allocation of the SWIOTLB buffer
from the SWIOTLB library.

The idea behind this set of patches is to make it possible to have separate
mechanisms for translating virtual to physical or virtual to DMA addresses
on platforms which need an SWIOTLB, and where physical != PCI bus address
and also to allocate the core IOTLB memory outside SWIOTLB.

One customers of this is the pv-ops project, which can switch between
different modes of operation depending on the environment it is running in:
bare-metal or virtualized (Xen for now). Another is the Wii DMA - used to
implement the MEM2 DMA facility needed by its EHCI controller (for details:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/18/303)

On bare-metal SWIOTLB is used when there are no hardware IOMMU. In virtualized
environment it used when PCI pass-through is enabled for the guest. The problems
with PCI pass-through is that the guest's idea of PFN's is not the real thing.
To fix that, there is translation layer for PFN->machine frame number and vice-versa.
To bubble that up to the SWIOTLB layer there are two possible solutions.

One solution has been to wholesale copy the SWIOTLB, stick it in
arch/x86/xen/swiotlb.c and modify the virt_to_phys, phys_to_virt and others
to use the Xen address translation functions. Unfortunately, since the kernel can
run on bare-metal, there would be big code overlap with the real SWIOTLB.
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git xen/dom0/swiotlb-new)

Another approach, which this set of patches explores, is to abstract the
address translation and address determination functions away from the
SWIOTLB book-keeping functions. This way the core SWIOTLB library functions
are present in one place, while the address related functions are in
a separate library that can be loaded when running under non-bare-metal platform.

Joe Eykholt 5960164fde lib/random32: export pseudo-random number generator for modules
This patch moves the definition of struct rnd_state and the inline
__seed() function to linux/random.h.  It renames the static __random32()
function to prandom32() and exports it for use in modules.

prandom32() is useful as a privately-seeded pseudo random number generator
that can give the same result every time it is initialized.

For FCoE FC-BB-6 VN2VN mode self-selected unique FC address generation, we
need an pseudo-random number generator seeded with the 64-bit world-wide
port name.  A truly random generator or one seeded with randomness won't
do because the same sequence of numbers should be generated each time we
boot or the link comes up.

A prandom32_seed() inline function is added to the header file.  It is
inlined not for speed, but so the function won't be expanded in the base
kernel, but only in the module that uses it.

Imre Deak 2dcb22b346 idr: fix backtrack logic in idr_remove_all
Currently idr_remove_all will fail with a use after free error if
idr::layers is bigger than 2, which on 32 bit systems corresponds to items
more than 1024.  This is due to stepping back too many levels during
backtracking.  For simplicity let's assume that IDR_BITS=1 -> we have 2
nodes at each level below the root node and each leaf node stores two IDs.
 (In reality for 32 bit systems IDR_BITS=5, with 32 nodes at each sub-root
level and 32 IDs in each leaf node).  The sequence of freeing the nodes at
the moment is as follows:

layer
1 ->                       a(7)
2 ->            b(3)                  c(5)
3 ->        d(1)   e(2)           f(4)    g(6)

Until step 4 things go fine, but then node c is freed, whereas node g
should be freed first.  Since node c contains the pointer to node g we'll
have a use after free error at step 6.

How many levels we step back after visiting the leaf nodes is currently
determined by the msb of the id we are currently visiting:

Step
1.          node d with IDs 0,1 is freed, current ID is advanced to 2.
            msb of the current ID bit 1. This means we need to step back
            1 level to node b and take the next sibling, node e.
2-3.        node e with IDs 2,3 is freed, current ID is 4, msb is bit 2.
            This means we need to step back 2 levels to node a, freeing
            node b on the way.
4-5.        node f with IDs 4,5 is freed, current ID is 6, msb is still
            bit 2. This means we again need to step back 2 levels to node
            a and free c on the way.
6.          We should visit node g, but its pointer is not available as
            node c was freed.

The fix changes how we determine the number of levels to step back.
Instead of deducting this merely from the msb of the current ID, we should
really check if advancing the ID causes an overflow to a bit position
corresponding to a given layer.  In the above example overflow from bit 0
to bit 1 should mean stepping back 1 level.  Overflow from bit 1 to bit 2
should mean stepping back 2 levels and so on.

The fix was tested with IDs up to 1 << 20, which corresponds to 4 layers
on 32 bit systems.

Akinobu Mita c9d221f86e fault-injection: add CPU notifier error injection module
I used this module to test the series of modification to the cpu notifiers
code.

Example1: inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)

	# modprobe cpu-notifier-error-inject cpu_down_prepare_error=-1
	# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)

	# modprobe cpu-notifier-error-inject cpu_up_prepare_error=-2
	# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory

Jack Steiner 0ac0c0d0f8 cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()
Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems).  Part of the reason is that
the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at
node 0 for newly created tasks.

This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of
the cpuset.

Add some in-line comments to explain the new infrastructure, which

Eric W. Biederman 3ff195b011 sysfs: Implement sysfs tagged directory support.
The problem.  When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name.  Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.

What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure.  For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible.  Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.

I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.

For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded.  Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.

To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.

Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid

- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
  so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.

Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.

For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.

Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.

The work needed in sysfs is more extensive.  At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent.  Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.

Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported.  There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
to solve.

Of the three uses of kref_set in the kernel:

 One really should be kref_put as the code is letting go of a
    reference,
 Two really should be kref_init because the kref is being

This suggests that making kref_set available encourages bad code.
So fix the three uses and remove kref_set completely.

Jason Wessel 5dd11d5d47 mips,kgdb: kdb low level trap catch and stack trace
The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" do_trap_or_bp() handler.

Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

Also added was a die notification for oops such that kdb can catch an
oops for analysis.

There appeared to be no obvious way to pass the struct pt_regs from
the original exception back to the stack back tracer, so a special
case was added to show_stack() for when kdb is active because you
generally desire to generally look at the back trace of the original
exception.

Jason Wessel ada64e4c98 kgdboc,keyboard: Keyboard driver for kdb with kgdb
This patch adds in the kdb PS/2 keyboard driver.  This was mostly a
direct port from the original kdb where I cleaned up the code against
checkpatch.pl and added the glue to stitch it into kgdb.

This patch also enables early kdb debug via kgdbwait and the keyboard.

All the access to configure kdb using either a serial console or the
keyboard is done via kgdboc.

If you want to use only the keyboard and want to break in early you
would add to your kernel command arguments:

    kgdboc=kbd kgdbwait

If you wanted serial and or the keyboard access you could use:

    kgdboc=kbd,ttyS0

You can also configure kgdboc as a kernel module or at run time with
the sysfs where you can activate and deactivate kgdb.

Turn it on:
    echo kbd,ttyS0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc

Turn it off:
    echo "" > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc

user level I/O is routed.  It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or
to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc
connection.

You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of
operation dynamically.  From gdb stub mode you can blindly type
"$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the
gdb stub.

The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb
connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a
gdb serial command sequence is detected.  That should allow a
reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the
kernel exception state.  The two gdb serial queries that kdb is
responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

Huang Ying fab1c23242 Unified UUID/GUID definition
There are many different UUID/GUID definitions in kernel, such as that
in EFI, many file systems, some drivers, etc. Every kernel components
need UUID/GUID has its own definition. This patch provides a unified
definition for UUID/GUID.

UUID is defined via typedef. This makes that UUID appears more like a
preliminary type, and makes the data type explicit (comparing with
implicit "u8 uuid[16]").

The binary representation of UUID/GUID can be little-endian (used by
EFI, etc) or big-endian (defined by RFC4122), so both is defined.

Ben Hutchings b2be05273a panic: Allow warnings to set different taint flags
WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that
are then worked-around.  These bugs do not affect the stability of the
kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN.  To allow for this,
add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number
as argument.

Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead
of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint)
instead of __WARN().

Frederic Weisbecker 23637d477c lockup_detector: Introduce CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR
This new config is deemed to simplify even more the lockup detector
dependencies and can make it easier to bring a smooth sorting
between archs that support the new generic lockup detector and those
that still have their own, especially for those that are in the
middle of this migration.

Instead of checking whether we have CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR +
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI each time an arch wants to know if it needs
to build its own lockup detector, take a shortcut with this new
config. It is enabled only if the hardlockup detection part of
the whole lockup detector is on.

Frederic Weisbecker e16bb1d7fe lockup_detector: Update some config
We kept CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP around for compatibility with
older configs. But it was enabled by default if CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.

So if we want to enable CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR on configs that had
CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP, all we need is to have the same enabling
by default if CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. We can then remove
CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP directly.

So tag CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR as default y. This is what we want for
most serious kernel debugging anyway.

And also forbid the lockup detector in S390 as it was for the
previous softlockup detector, event though the true reason for that
is not outlined.

Michel Lespinasse 91af708141 rwsem: Test for no active locks in __rwsem_do_wake undo code
If there are no active threasd using a semaphore, it is always correct
to unqueue blocked threads.  This seems to be what was intended in the
undo code.

What was done instead, was to look for a sem count of zero - this is an
impossible situation, given that at least one thread is known to be
queued on the semaphore.  The code might be correct as written, but it's
hard to reason about and it's not what was intended (otherwise the goto
out would have been unconditional).

Go for checking the active count - the alternative is not worth the
headache.

Don Zickus 58687acba5 lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector
The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very
similar in structure to the softlockup detector.  Using Ingo's
suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file:
kernel/watchdog.c.

Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup
detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every
60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups.

To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I
implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event
overflow event.  If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is
most likely in trouble.

To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the
previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires.
If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the
warning is printed to the console.

I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths
work.

V2:
- cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination
- surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI
- seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem
- re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space
- added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases
- removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events

V3:
- comment cleanups
- drop support for older softlockup code
- per_cpu cleanups
- completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector
- use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection
- #ifdef cleanups
- rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR
- documentation additions

V4:
- documentation fixes
- convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var
- powerpc compile fixes

V5:
- split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups

TODO:
- figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call
  (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period

Mathieu Desnoyers a5d8e467f8 Debugobjects transition check
Implement a basic state machine checker in the debugobjects.

This state machine checker detects races and inconsistencies within the "active"
life of a debugobject. The checker only keeps track of the current state; all
the state machine logic is kept at the object instance level.

The checker works by adding a supplementary "unsigned int astate" field to the
debug_obj structure. It keeps track of the current "active state" of the object.

The only constraints that are imposed on the states by the debugobjects system
is that:

- activation of an object sets the current active state to 0,
- deactivation of an object expects the current active state to be 0.

For the rest of the states, the state mapping is determined by the specific
object instance. Therefore, the logic keeping track of the state machine is
within the specialized instance, without any need to know about it at the
debugobject level.

The current object active state is changed by calling:

debug_object_active_state(addr, descr, expect, next)

where "expect" is the expected state and "next" is the next state to move to if
the expected state is found. A warning is generated if the expected is not
found.

Lai Jiangshan 2b3fc35f69 rcu: optionally leave lockdep enabled after RCU lockdep splat
There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat,
so remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference().
To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the inlined
rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() macros so that
a given instance splats only once, but so that multiple instances can
be detected per boot.

This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY,
which is disabled by default.  This provides the normal lockdep behavior
by default, but permits people who want to find multiple RCU-lockdep
splats per boot to easily do so.

- It doesn't handle the case where a block isn't compressed at all.  In
  this case, calling lzo1x_decompress_safe will fail, so we need to just

- Since commit 54291362d2 ("initramfs: add
  missing decompressor error check") , the decompressor return code is
  checked in the init/initramfs.c The LZO decompressor didn't return the
  expected value, causing the initramfs code to falsely believe a

Joe Perches 4e310fda91 vsprintf: Change struct printf_spec.precision from s8 to s16
Commit ef0658f3de changed precision
from int to s8.

There is existing kernel code that uses a larger precision.

An example from the audit code:
	vsnprintf(...,..., " msg='%.1024s'", (char *)data);
which overflows precision and truncates to nothing.

Extending precision size fixes the audit system issue.

Other changes:

Change the size of the struct printf_spec.type from u16 to u8 so
sizeof(struct printf_spec) stays as small as possible.
Reorder the struct members so sizeof(struct printf_spec) remains 64 bits
without alignment holes.
Document the struct members a bit more.

David Howells ce82653d6c radix_tree_tag_get() is not as safe as the docs make out [ver #2]
radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
or radix_tree_tag_clear().  The problem is that the double tag_get() in
radix_tree_tag_get():

		if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
			saw_unset_tag = 1;
		if (height == 1) {
			int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);

may see the value change due to the action of set/clear.  RCU is no protection
against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.

The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
functions reading the tree".

The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
tag doesn't vary over time:

			BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag);

This has been seen happening in FS-Cache:

	https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html

To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
running concurrently with it.

Kevin Hilman 3eac4abaa6 rwsem generic spinlock: use IRQ save/restore spinlocks
rwsems can be used with IRQs disabled, particularily in early boot
before IRQs are enabled.  Currently the spin_unlock_irq() usage in the
slow-patch will unconditionally enable interrupts and cause problems
since interrupts are not yet initialized or enabled.

This patch uses save/restore versions of IRQ spinlocks in the slowpath
to ensure interrupts are not unintentionally disabled.

Dan Carpenter 39a37ce1cc dma-debug: Cleanup for copy-loop in filter_write()
Earlier in this function we set the last byte of "buf" to NULL so we
always hit the break statement and "i" is never equal to NAME_MAX_LEN.
This patch doesn't change how the driver works but it silences a Smatch

Borislav Petkov d61931d89b x86: Add optimized popcnt variants
Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function,
popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function
0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the
default lib/hweight.c sw versions.

A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost
a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

This patch marks two functions, which only get called at
initialization, as __init.

Here is also interesting, that modpost doesn't catch here the right
function name.

WARNING: lib/built-in.o(.text+0x585f): Section mismatch in reference
from the function T.506() to the variable .init.data:obj
The function T.506() references the variable __initdata obj.
This is often because T.506 lacks a __initdata annotation or the 
annotation of obj is wrong.

Martin K. Petersen 2cda2728aa block: Fix overrun in lcm() and move it to lib
lcm() was defined to take integer-sized arguments.  The supplied
arguments are multiplied, however, causing us to overflow given
sufficiently large input.  That in turn led to incorrect optimal I/O
size reporting in some cases (RAID over RAID).

Switch lcm() over to unsigned long similar to gcd() and move the
function from blk-settings.c to lib.
