95bcd683fb jump label: Make arch_jump_label_text_poke_early() optional
Some archs do not need to do anything special for jump labels on
startup (like MIPS).  This patch adds a weak function stub for
arch_jump_label_text_poke_early();

de31c3ca81 jump label: Fix error with preempt disable holding mutex
Kprobes and jump label were having a race between mutexes that
was fixed by reordering the jump label. But this reordering
moved the jump label mutex into a preempt disable location.

This patch does a little fiddling to move the grabbing of
the jump label mutex from inside the preempt disable section
and still keep the order correct between the mutex and the
kprobes lock.

f16feb5119 ecryptfs: added ecryptfs_mount_auth_tok_only mount parameter
This patch adds a new mount parameter 'ecryptfs_mount_auth_tok_only' to
force ecryptfs to use only authentication tokens which signature has
been specified at mount time with parameters 'ecryptfs_sig' and
'ecryptfs_fnek_sig'. In this way, after disabling the passthrough and
the encrypted view modes, it's possible to make available to users only
files encrypted with the specified authentication token.

2e21b3f124 eCryptfs: Clear LOOKUP_OPEN flag when creating lower file
eCryptfs was passing the LOOKUP_OPEN flag through to the lower file
system, even though ecryptfs_create() doesn't support the flag. A valid
filp for the lower filesystem could be returned in the nameidata if the
lower file system's create() function supported LOOKUP_OPEN, possibly
resulting in unencrypted writes to the lower file.

However, this is only a potential problem in filesystems (FUSE, NFS,
CIFS, CEPH, 9p) that eCryptfs isn't known to support today.

48b512e685 ecryptfs: call vfs_setxattr() in ecryptfs_setxattr()
Ecryptfs is a stackable filesystem which relies on lower filesystems the
ability of setting/getting extended attributes.

If there is a security module enabled on the system it updates the
'security' field of inodes according to the owned extended attribute set
with the function vfs_setxattr().  When this function is performed on a
ecryptfs filesystem the 'security' field is not updated for the lower
filesystem since the call security_inode_post_setxattr() is missing for
the lower inode.
Further, the call security_inode_setxattr() is missing for the lower inode,
leading to policy violations in the security module because specific
checks for this hook are not performed (i. e. filesystem
'associate' permission on SELinux is not checked for the lower filesystem).

This patch replaces the call of the setxattr() method of the lower inode
in the function ecryptfs_setxattr() with vfs_setxattr().

18e503d695 Btrfs: fix raid code for removing missing drives
When btrfs is mounted in degraded mode, it has some internal structures
to track the missing devices.  This missing device is setup as readonly,
but the mapping code can get upset when we try to write to it.

This changes the mapping code to return -EIO instead of oops when we try
to write to the readonly device.

bf9022e06a Btrfs: use the flusher threads for delalloc throttling
We have a fairly complex set of loops around walking our list of
delalloc inodes when we find metadata delalloc space running low.
It doesn't work very well, can use large amounts of CPU and doesn't
do very efficient writeback.

This switches us to kick the bdi flusher threads instead.  All dirty
data in btrfs is accounted as delalloc data, so this is very similar
in terms of what it writes, but we're able to just kick off the IO
and wait for progress.

e5bc245829 Btrfs: tune the chunk allocation to 5% of the FS as metadata
An earlier commit tried to keep us from allocating too many
empty metadata chunks.  It was somewhat too restrictive and could
lead to ENOSPC errors on empty filesystems.

This increases the limits to about 5% of the FS size, allowing more
metadata chunks to be preallocated.

3259f8bed2 Add new functions for triggering inode writeback
When btrfs is running low on metadata space, it needs to force delayed
allocation pages to disk.  It currently does this with a suboptimal walk
of a private list of inodes with delayed allocation, and it would be
much better if we used the generic flusher threads.

writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle would be ideal, but it waits for the flusher
thread to start IO on all the dirty pages in the FS before it returns.
This adds variants of writeback_inodes_sb* that allow the caller to
control how many pages get sent down.

This patch actually loads the free space cache if it exists.  The only thing
that really changes here is that we need to cache the block group if we're going
to remove an extent from it.  Previously we did not do this since the caching
kthread would pick it up.  With the on disk cache we don't have this luxury so
we need to make sure we read the on disk cache in first, and then remove the
extent, that way when the extent is unpinned the free space is added to the
block group.  This has been tested with all sorts of things.

inode when we're writing out dirty block groups.  There are a bunch of changes
in inode.c in order to account for special cases.  Mostly when we're doing the
writeout we're holding trans_mutex, so we need to use the nolock transacation
functions.  Also we can't do asynchronous completions since the async thread
could be blocked on already completed IO waiting for the transaction lock.  This
has been tested with xfstests and btrfs filesystem balance, as well as my ENOSPC
tests.  Thanks,

3d7851b3cd oprofile: Remove deprecated use of flush_scheduled_work()
flush_scheduled_work() is deprecated and scheduled to be removed.
sync_stop() currently cancels cpu_buffer works inside buffer_mutex and
flushes the system workqueue outside.  Instead, split end_cpu_work()
into two parts - stopping further work enqueues and flushing works -
and do the former inside buffer_mutex and latter outside.

For stable kernels v2.6.35.y and v2.6.36.y.

4ac3dbec80 oprofile: Fix the hang while taking the cpu offline
The kernel build with CONFIG_OPROFILE and CPU_HOTPLUG enabled.
The oprofile is initialised using system timer in absence of hardware
counters supports. Oprofile isn't started from userland.

In this setup while doing a CPU offline the kernel hangs in infinite
for loop inside lock_hrtimer_base() function

This happens because as part of oprofile_cpu_notify(, it tries to
stop an hrtimer which was never started. These per-cpu hrtimers
are started when the oprfile is started.
	echo 1	> /dev/oprofile/enable

This problem also existwhen the cpu is booted with maxcpus parameter
set. When bringing the remaining cpus online the timers are started
even if oprofile is not yet enabled.

This patch fix this issue by adding a state variable so that
these hrtimer start/stop is only attempted when oprofile is
started

For stable kernels v2.6.35.y and v2.6.36.y.
