The attempt to fixup the lockless mce log buffer introduced an infinite loop
when trying to find a free entry.
And:
Using rcu_dereference() to load mcelog.next doesn't seem to be sufficient
enough to ensure that mcelog.next is loaded each time around the loop in
mce_log(). Instead, use an explicit rmb() to ensure that the compiler gets it
right.
AK: turned the smp_wmbs into true wmbs to make sure they are not
reordered by the compiler on UP.

Any tests using < TASK_STOPPED or the like are left over from the time
when the TASK_ZOMBIE and TASK_DEAD bits were in the same word, and it
served to check for "stopped or dead". I think this one in
do_signal_stop is the only such case. It has been buggy ever since
exit_state was separated, and isn't testing the exit_state value.

do_signal_stop:
for_each_thread(t) {
if (t->state < TASK_STOPPED)
++sig->group_stop_count;
}
However, TASK_NONINTERACTIVE > TASK_STOPPED, so this loop will not
count TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_NONINTERACTIVE threads.
See also wait_task_stopped(), which checks ->state > TASK_STOPPED.

[ We really probably should always use the appropriate bitmasks to test
task states, not do it like this. Using something like
#define TASK_RUNNABLE (TASK_RUNNING | TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | \
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_NONINTERACTIVE)
and then doing "if (task->state & TASK_RUNNABLE)" or similar. But the
ordering of the task states is historical, and keeping the ordering
does make sense regardless. ]

includes those two.
- mk_... helpers are gone now that we don't need to generate these

Instead of doing byte-at-a-time user accesses to figure
out where the fault occurred, read the saved fault_address
from the current thread structure.
For the sake of defensive programming, if the fault_address
does not fall into the user buffer range, simply assume the
whole area faulted. This will cause the fixup for
copy_from_user() to clear the entire kernel side buffer.

The attached patch adds extra permission grants to keys for the possessor of a
key in addition to the owner, group and other permissions bits. This makes
SUID binaries easier to support without going as far as labelling keys and key
targets using the LSM facilities.
This patch adds a second "pointer type" to key structures (struct key_ref *)
that can have the bottom bit of the address set to indicate the possession of
a key. This is propagated through searches from the keyring to the discovered
key. It has been made a separate type so that the compiler can spot attempts
to dereference a potentially incorrect pointer.
The "possession" attribute can't be attached to a key structure directly as
it's not an intrinsic property of a key.
Pointers to keys have been replaced with struct key_ref *'s wherever
possession information needs to be passed through.
This does assume that the bottom bit of the pointer will always be zero on
return from kmem_cache_alloc().
The key reference type has been made into a typedef so that at least it can be
located in the sources, even though it's basically a pointer to an undefined
type. I've also renamed the accessor functions to be more useful, and all
reference variables should now end in "_ref".
