A consolidated implementation will provide this generically through
asm/byteorder, remove direct includes to avoid breakage when the
changeover to the new implementation occurs.
This hunk was lost from commit 1d8cca44b6a244b7e378546d719041819049a0f9

Commit 7c08c9ae0c145807c0dae4a55f240fa3d4fd5262 ("efifb/imacfb
consolidation + hardware support") claimed to remove imacfb entirely and
merge its DMI table into the efifb driver. So far so good, but the diff
actually ended up just generating an empty file instead of removing it.
[ Technical reason: the patch header looked like
diff -puN drivers/video/imacfb.c~efifb-imacfb-consolidation-hardware-support drivers/video/imacfb.c

Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary. But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge. It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!
This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 . We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test. Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.
akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'. But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.
[akpm: remove the ifdef for now]

Increase the range of various posix message queue limits.
Posix gives the message queue user the ability to 'trade off' the maximum
size of messages with the number of possible messages that can be 'in
flight'. Linux currently makes this trade off more restrictive than it
needs to be.
In particular, the maximum message size today can be made no smaller than
8192. This greatly restricts those applications that would like to have
the ability to post large numbers of very small messages.
So this task lowers the limit that the maximum message size can be set to,
from 8192 to 128. It also lowers the limit that the maximum #number of
messages in flight can be set to, from 10 to 1.
With these changes the message queue user can make better trade offs
between #messages and message size, in order to get everything to fit
within the setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE) limit for that particular user.
This patch also applies the values in
/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max
/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max
as the defaults for the max #messages allowed and the max message size
allowed, respectively, for those applications that do not supply these.
Previously, the defaults were hardwired to 10 and 8192, respectively.

Add the symbols 'vmlist' and offset 'vm_struct.addr' to the vmcoreinfo[1]

makedumpfile[2] needs VMALLOC_START value for distinguishing a vmalloc
address or not, because it should choose suitable translation method. If
applying this patch, makedumpfile will be able to take VMALLOC_START value
from 'vmlist.addr'.
vmcoreinfo[1]:
The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering. makedumpfile[2] uses it to distinguish unnecessary pages and
creates a small dumpfile.

elfcore header memory needs to be reserved in a crash kernel. This means
that the relevant code should be protected by CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP rather
than CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.

The usage of elfcorehdr_addr has changed recently such that being set to
ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX is used by is_kdump_kernel() to indicate if the code is
executing in a kernel executed as a crash kernel.
However, arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c:reserve_elfcorehdr will rest
elfcorehdr_addr to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX on error, which means any subsequent
calls to is_kdump_kernel() will return 0, even though they should return
1.
Ok, at this point in time there are no subsequent calls, but I think its
fair to say that there is ample scope for error or at the very least
confusion.
This patch add an extra state, ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR, which indicates that
elfcorehdr_addr was passed on the command line, and thus execution is
taking place in a crashdump kernel, but vmcore can't be used for some
reason. This is tested for using is_vmcore_usable() and set using
vmcore_unusable(). A subsequent patch makes use of this new code.
To summarise, the states that elfcorehdr_addr can now be in are as follows:
ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX: not a crashdump kernel
ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR: crashdump kernel but vmcore is unusable
any other value: crash dump kernel and vmcore is usable

o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. For
example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if
kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table.
So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be
able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup
calgary iommu accordingly.
o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.
o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files.
(Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file
otherwise that would have been the best place).
o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in
second kernel without KEXEC being enabled.
o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for
elfcorehdr_addr. I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh.
Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not
broken on sh.

Now that wait_task_inactive(task, state) checks task->state == state,
we can simplify the code and make this debugging check more robust.

This adds a kconfig option to change the /proc/PID/coredump_filter default.
Fedora has been carrying a trivial patch to change the hard-wired value for
this default, since Fedora 8. The default default can't change safely
because there are old GDB versions out there (all before 6.7) that are
confused by the core dump files created by the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS setting.
