Since Kprobes runtime exception handlers is now lock free as this code path is
now using RCU to walk through the list, there is no need for the
register/unregister{_kprobe} to use spin_{lock/unlock}_isr{save/restore}. The
serialization during registration/unregistration is now possible using just a
mutex.
In the above process, this patch also fixes a minor memory leak for x86_64 and
powerpc.

The arch specific kprobes.h files never gets included when CONFIG_KPROBES is
turned off. Hence check for CONFIG_KPROBES is not appropriate here in this
arch specific kprobes.h files.
Also the below defined function kprobes_exception_notify() is not needed when
CONFIG_KPROBES is off.
Compile tested for both CONFIG_KPROBES=y and N.

Kernel/kprobes.c defines get_insn_slot() and free_insn_slot() which are
currently required _only_ for x86_64 and powerpc (which has no-exec support).
FYI, get{free}_insn_slot() functions manages the memory page which is mapped
as executable, required for instruction emulation.
This patch moves those two functions under __ARCH_WANT_KPROBES_INSN_SLOT and
defines __ARCH_WANT_KPROBES_INSN_SLOT in arch specific kprobes.h file.

Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags.
After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch. The mount code
needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and
touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to
the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always
noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore. Besides that core code
only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server
and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether
it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization.
While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were
only used by touch_atime.

Now that all these entries in the arch ioctl32.c files are gone [1], we can
build fs/compat_ioctl.c as a normal object and kill tons of cruft. We need a
special do_ioctl32_pointer handler for s390 so the compat_ptr call is done.
This is not needed but harmless on all other architectures. Also remove some
superflous includes in fs/compat_ioctl.c
Tested on ppc64.
[1] parisc still had it's PPP handler left, which is not fully correct
for ppp and besides that ppp uses the generic SIOCPRIV ioctl so it'd
kick in for all netdevice users. We can introduce a proper handler
in one of the next patch series by adding a compat_ioctl method to
struct net_device but for now let's just kill it - parisc doesn't
compile in mainline anyway and I don't want this to block this
patchset.

To allow various options to work per-mount instead of per-sb we need a
struct vfsmount when updating ctime and mtime. This preparation patch
replaces the inode_update_time routine with a file_update_atime routine so
we can easily get at the vfsmount. (and the file makes more sense in this
context anyway). Also get rid of the unused second argument - we always
want to update the ctime when calling this routine.

The xattr code has rather complex permission checks because the rules are very
different for different attribute namespaces. This patch moves as much as we
can into the generic code. Currently all the major disk based filesystems
duplicate these checks, while many minor filesystems or network filesystems
lack some or all of them.
To do this we need defines for the extended attribute names in common code, I
moved them up from JFS which had the nicest defintions.

(James, I haven't touched selinux yet because it's doing various odd things
and I'm not sure how it would interact with the security attribute fallbacks
you added. Could you investigate whether it could use vfs_getxattr or if not
add a __vfs_getxattr helper to share the bits it is fine with?)
For NFSv4: instead of just converting it add an nfsd_getxattr helper for the
code shared by NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 ACLs. In fact that code isn't even
NFS-specific, but I'll wait for more users to pop up first before moving it to
common code.

- Saving the cpu registers of all cpus before booting in to the crash
kernel.
- crash_setup_regs will save the registers of the cpu on which panic has
occured. One of the concerns ppc64 folks raised is that after capturing the
register states, one should not pop the current call frame and push new one.
Hence it has been inlined. More call frames later get pushed on to stack
(machine_crash_shutdown() and machine_kexec()), but one will not want to
backtrace those.
- Not very sure about the CFI annotations. With this patch I am getting
decent backtrace with gdb. Assuming, compiler has generated enough
debugging information for crash_kexec(). Coding crash_setup_regs() in pure
assembly makes it tricky because then it can not be inlined and we don't
want to return back after capturing register states we don't want to pop
this call frame.
- Saving the non-panicing cpus registers will be done in the NMI handler
while shooting down them in machine_crash_shutdown.

- If system panics then cpu register states are captured through funciton
crash_get_current_regs(). This is not a inline function hence a stack frame
is pushed on to the stack and then cpu register state is captured. Later
this frame is popped and new frames are pushed (machine_kexec).
- In theory this is not very right as we are capturing register states for a
frame and that frame is no more valid. This seems to have created back
trace problems for ppc64.
- This patch fixes it up. The very first thing it does after entering
crash_kexec() is to capture the register states. Anyway we don't want the
back trace beyond crash_kexec(). crash_get_current_regs() has been made
inline
- crash_setup_regs() is the top architecture dependent function which should
be responsible for capturing the register states as well as to do some
architecture dependent tricks. For ex. fixing up ss and esp for i386.
crash_setup_regs() has also been made inline to ensure no new call frame is
pushed onto stack.

- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory
in elf note format. So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated
statically for NR_CPUS.
- This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes.
It uses alloc_percpu() interface. This should lead to better memory usage.
- Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions.
- This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture
dependent portion to architecture independent portion. Now crash_notes is
architecture independent. The whole idea is that size of memory to be
allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and
allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.
