This patch removes the decap_state argument from the xfrm input hook.
Previously this function allowed the input hook to share state with
the post_input hook. The latter has since been removed.
The only purpose for it now is to check the encap type. However, it
is easier and better to move the encap type check to the generic
xfrm_rcv function. This allows us to get rid of the decap state
argument altogether.

I was grepping through the code and some `grep ganularity -R .` didn't
catch what I thought. Then looking closer I saw the term "granuality"
used in only four places (in comments) and granularity in many more
places describing the same idea. Some other facts:
dictionary.com does not know such a word
define:granuality on google is not found (and pages for granuality are
mostly related to patches to the kernel)
it has not been discussed as a term on LKML, AFAICS (=Can Search)
To be consistent, I think granularity should be used everywhere.

The monochrome->color expansion routine that handles bitmaps which have
(widths % 8) != 0 (slow_imageblit) produces corrupt characters in big-endian.
This is caused by a bogus bit test in slow_imageblit().
Fix.
This patch may deserve to go to the stable tree. The code has already been
well tested in little-endian machines. It's only in big-endian where there is
uncertainty and Herbert confirmed that this is the correct way to go.
It should not introduce regressions.

Backlight class attributes are currently easy to implement incorrectly.
Moving certain handling into the backlight core prevents this whilst at the
same time makes the drivers simpler and consistent. The following changes are
included:
The brightness attribute only sets and reads the brightness variable in the
backlight_properties structure.
The power attribute only sets and reads the power variable in the
backlight_properties structure.
Any framebuffer blanking events change a variable fb_blank in the
backlight_properties structure.
The backlight driver has only two functions to implement. One function is
called when any of the above properties change (to update the backlight
brightness), the second is called to return the current backlight brightness
value. A new attribute "actual_brightness" is added to return this brightness
as determined by the driver having combined all the above factors (and any
driver/device specific factors).
Additionally, the backlight core takes care of checking the maximum brightness
is not exceeded and of turning off the backlight before device removal.
The corgi backlight driver is updated to reflect these changes.

It is very common to hash a dentry and then to call lookup. If we take fs
specific hash functions into account the full hash logic can get ugly.
Further full_name_hash as an inline function is almost 100 bytes on x86 so
having a non-inline choice in some cases can measurably decrease code size.

Simplifies the code, reduces the need for 4 pid hash tables, and makes the
code more capable.
In the discussions I had with Oleg it was felt that to a large extent the
cleanup itself justified the work. With struct pid being dynamically
allocated meant we could create the hash table entry when the pid was
allocated and free the hash table entry when the pid was freed. Instead of
playing with the hash lists when ever a process would attach or detach to a
process.
For myself the fact that it gave what my previous task_ref patch gave for free
with simpler code was a big win. The problem is that if you hold a reference
to struct task_struct you lock in 10K of low memory. If you do that in a user
controllable way like /proc does, with an unprivileged but hostile user space
application with typical resource limits of 1000 fds and 100 processes I can
trigger the OOM killer by consuming all of low memory with task structs, on a
machine wight 1GB of low memory.
If I instead hold a reference to struct pid which holds a pointer to my
task_struct, I don't suffer from that problem because struct pid is 2 orders
of magnitude smaller. In fact struct pid is small enough that most other
kernel data structures dwarf it, so simply limiting the number of referring
data structures is enough to prevent exhaustion of low memory.
This splits the current struct pid into two structures, struct pid and struct
pid_link, and reduces our number of hash tables from PIDTYPE_MAX to just one.
struct pid_link is the per process linkage into the hash tables and lives in
struct task_struct. struct pid is given an indepedent lifetime, and holds
pointers to each of the pid types.
The independent life of struct pid simplifies attach_pid, and detach_pid,
because we are always manipulating the list of pids and not the hash table.
In addition in giving struct pid an indpendent life it makes the concept much
more powerful.
Kernel data structures can now embed a struct pid * instead of a pid_t and
not suffer from pid wrap around problems or from keeping unnecessarily
large amounts of memory allocated.

A big problem with rcu protected data structures that are also reference
counted is that you must jump through several hoops to increase the reference
count. I think someone finally implemented atomic_inc_not_zero(&count) to
automate the common case. Unfortunately this means you must special case the
rcu access case.
When data structures are only visible via rcu in a manner that is not
determined by the reference count on the object (i.e. tasks are visible until
their zombies are reaped) there is a much simpler technique we can employ.
Simply delaying the decrement of the reference count until the rcu interval is
over.
What that means is that the proc code that looks up a task and later
wants to sleep can now do:
rcu_read_lock();
task = find_task_by_pid(some_pid);
if (task) {
get_task_struct(task);
}
rcu_read_unlock();
The effect on the rest of the kernel is that put_task_struct becomes cheaper
and immediate, and in the case where the task has been reaped it frees the
task immediate instead of unnecessarily waiting an until the rcu interval is
over.
Cleanup of task_struct does not happen when its reference count drops to
zero, instead cleanup happens when release_task is called. Tasks can only
be looked up via rcu before release_task is called. All rcu protected
members of task_struct are freed by release_task.
Therefore we can move call_rcu from put_task_struct into release_task. And
we can modify release_task to not immediately release the reference count
but instead have it call put_task_struct from the function it gives to
call_rcu.
The end result:
- get_task_struct is safe in an rcu context where we have just looked
up the task.
- put_task_struct() simplifies into its old pre rcu self.
This reorganization also makes put_task_struct uncallable from modules as
it is not exported but it does not appear to be called from any modules so
this should not be an issue, and is trivially fixed.

Currently, count_active_tasks() calls both nr_running() &
nr_interruptible(). Each of these functions does a "for_each_cpu" & reads
values from the runqueue of each cpu. Although this is not a lot of
instructions, each runqueue may be located on different node. Depending on
the architecture, a unique TLB entry may be required to access each
runqueue.
Since there may be more runqueues than cpu TLB entries, a scan of all
runqueues can trash the TLB. Each memory reference incurs a TLB miss &
refill.
In addition, the runqueue cacheline that contains nr_running &
nr_uninterruptible may be evicted from the cache between the two passes.
This causes unnecessary cache misses.
Combining nr_running() & nr_interruptible() into a single function
substantially reduces the TLB & cache misses on large systems. This should
have no measureable effect on smaller systems.
On a 128p IA64 system running a memory stress workload, the new function
reduced the overhead of calc_load() from 605 usec/call to 324 usec/call.

The removal of the data field in the hrtimer structure enforces the
embedding of the timer into another data structure. nanosleep now uses a
private implementation of the most common used timer callback function
(simple task wakeup).
In order to avoid the reimplentation of such functionality all over the
place a generic hrtimer_sleeper functionality is created.

Add support for LED triggers to the LED subsystem. "Triggers" are events
which change the state of an LED. Two kinds of trigger are available, simple
ones which can be added to exising code with minimum disruption and complex
ones for implementing new or more complex functionality.
