45bf5cd7be fs/compat_ioctl.c: suppress two warnings
fs/compat_ioctl.c: In function 'do_ioctl_trans':
fs/compat_ioctl.c:534: warning: 'karg' may be used uninitialized in this function
fs/compat_ioctl.c:533: warning: 'kcmd' may be used uninitialized in this function
fs/compat_ioctl.c:656: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function

Reduces text size by 44 bytes.

If someone calls one of these functions with an unexpected argument, the
code's buggy as-is.

835cc0c847 lib: more scalable list_sort()
XFS and UBIFS can pass long lists to list_sort(); this alternative
implementation scales better, reaching ~3x performance gain when list
length exceeds the L2 cache size.

Stand-alone program timings were run on a Core 2 duo L1=32KB L2=4MB,
gcc-4.4, with flags extracted from an Ubuntu kernel build.  Object size is
581 bytes compared to 455 for Mark J.  Roberts' code.

Worst case for either implementation is a list length just over a power of
two, and to roughly the same degree, so here are timing results for a
range of 2^N+1 lengths.  List elements were 16 bytes each including malloc
overhead; initial order was random.

Mark's code does not actually implement the usual or generic mergesort,
but rather a variant from Simon Tatham described here:

    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/algorithms/listsort.html

Simon's algorithm performs O(log N) passes over the entire input list,
doing merges of sublists that double in size on each pass.  The generic
algorithm instead merges pairs of equal length lists as early as possible,
in recursive order.  For either algorithm, the elements that extend the
list beyond power-of-two length are a special case, handled as nearly as
possible as a "rounding-up" to a full POT.

Some intuition for the locality of reference implications of merge order
may be gotten by watching this animation:

    http://www.sorting-algorithms.com/merge-sort

Simon's algorithm requires only O(1) extra space rather than the generic
algorithm's O(log N), but in my non-recursive implementation the actual
O(log N) data is merely a vector of ~20 pointers, which I've put on the
stack.

Long-running list_sort() calls: If the list passed in may be long, or the
client's cmp() callback function is slow, the client's cmp() may
periodically invoke cond_resched() to voluntarily yield the CPU.  All
inner loops of list_sort() call back to cmp().

Stability of the sort: distinct elements that compare equal emerge from
the sort in the same order as with Mark's code, for simple test cases.  A
boot-time test is provided to verify this and other correctness
requirements.

A kernel that uses drm.ko appears to run normally with this change; I have
no suitable hardware to similarly test the use by UBIFS.

03372dbbe6 scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add --file-emails, find embedded email addresses
Add an imperfect option to search a source file for email addresses.

New option:  --file-emails or --fe

email addresses in files are freeform text and are nearly impossible to
parse.  Still, might as well try to do a somewhat acceptable job of
finding them.  This code should find all addresses that are in the form
addr@domain.tld

The code assumes that up to 3 alphabetic words along with dashes, commas,
and periods that preceed the email address are a name.

If 3 words are found for the name, and one of the first two words are a
single letter and period, or just a single letter then the 3 words are use
as name otherwise the last 2 words are used.

Some variants that are shown correctly:
    John Smith <jksmith@domain.org>
    Random J. Developer <rjd@tld.com>
    Random J. Developer (rjd@tld.com)
    J. Random Developer rjd@tld.com

Variants that are shown nominally correctly:
    Written by First Last (funny-addr@somecompany.com)
is shown as:
    First Last <funny-addr@somecompany.com>

Variants that are shown incorrectly:
    Some Really Long Name <srln@foo.bar>
    MontaVista Software, Inc. <source@mvista.com>
are returned as:
    Long Name <srln@foo.bar>
    "Software, Inc" <source@mvista.com>

--roles and --rolestats show "(in file)" for matches.

For instance:

Without -file-emails:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f -nogit -roles net/core/netpoll.c
David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> (maintainer:NETWORKING [GENERAL])
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

With -fe:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f -fe -nogit -roles net/core/netpoll.c
David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> (maintainer:NETWORKING [GENERAL])
Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> (in file)
Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> (in file)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING [GENERAL])

The number of email addresses in the file in not limited.  Neither is the
number of returned email addresses.

9728e5d6e6 kernel/pid.c: update comment on find_task_by_pid_ns
tasklist_lock does protect the task and its pid, it can't go away.  The
problem is that find_pid_ns() itself is unsafe without rcu lock, it can
race with copy_process()->free_pid(any_pid).

Protecting copy_process()->free_pid(any_pid) with tasklist_lock would make
it possible to call find_task_by_pid_ns() under tasklist safely, but we
don't do so because we are trying to get rid of the read_lock sites of
tasklist_lock.

8aeee85a29 panic: fix panic_timeout accuracy when running on a hypervisor
I've had some complaints about panic_timeout being wildly innacurate on
shared processor PowerPC partitions (a 3 minute panic_timeout taking 30
minutes).

The problem is we loop on mdelay(1) and with a 1ms in 10ms hypervisor
timeslice each of these will take 10ms (ie 10x) longer.  I expect other
platforms with shared processor hypervisors will see the same issue.

This patch keeps the old behaviour if we have a panic_blink (only keyboard
LEDs right now) and does 1 second mdelays if we don't.

Fetch rlimit (both hard and soft) values only once and work on them.  It
removes many accesses through sig structure and makes the code cleaner.

Mostly a preparation for writable resource limits support.

0347af4ee3 lkdtm: add debugfs access and loosen KPROBE ties
Add adds a debugfs interface and additional failure modes to LKDTM to
provide similar functionality to the provoke-crash driver submitted here:

  http://lwn.net/Articles/371208/

Crashes can now be induced either through module parameters (as before)
or through the debugfs interface as in provoke-crash.

The patch also provides a new "direct" interface, where KPROBES are not
used, i.e., the crash is invoked directly upon write to the debugfs
file. When built without KPROBES configured, only this mode is available.

7463e633c5 init/main.c: make setup_max_cpus static for !SMP
The only in tree external users of the symbol setup_max_cpus are in
arch/x86/.  The files ./kernel/alternative.c, ./kernel/visws_quirks.c, and
./mm/kmemcheck/kmemcheck.c are all guarded by CONFIG_SMP being defined.
For this case the symbol is an unsigned int and declared as an extern in
include/linux/smp.h.

When CONFIG_SMP is not defined the symbol setup_max_cpus is
a constant value that is only used in init/main.c.  Make the symbol
static for this case.

The macro any_online_node() is prone to producing sparse warnings due to
the local symbol 'node'.  Since all the in-tree users are really
requesting the first online node (the mask argument is either
NODE_MASK_ALL or node_online_map) just use the first_online_node macro and
remove the any_online_node macro since there are no users.
