fuse: Convert to kstrtoul_from_user

This patch replaces the code for getting an number from a
userspace buffer by a simple call to kstroul_from_user.
This makes it easier to read and less error prone.

ACPI-Thermal: Make Thermal trip points writeable

Some of the thermal drivers using the Generic Thermal Framework

fuse: fix stat call on 32 bit platforms

Now we store attr->ino at inode->i_ino, return attr->ino at the
first time and then return inode->i_ino if the attribute timeout
isn't expired. That's wrong on 32 bit platforms because attr->ino
is 64 bit and inode->i_ino is 32 bit in this case.

Fix this by saving 64 bit ino in fuse_inode structure and returning
it every time we call getattr. Also squash attr->ino into inode->i_ino
explicitly.

mm: frontswap: add frontswap header file

Frontswap is the alter ego of cleancache, the "yang" to cleancache's
"yin"... and more precisely frontswap is the provider of anonymous
pages to transcendent memory to nicely complement cleancache's providing
of clean pagecache pages to transcendent memory.  For optimal use
of transcendent memory, both are necessary... because a kernel
under memory pressure first reclaims clean pagecache pages and,
when under more memory pressure, starts swapping anonymous pages.

Frontswap and cleancache (which was merged at 3.0) are the "frontends"
and the only necessary changes to the core kernel for transcendent memory;
all other supporting code -- the "backends" -- is implemented as drivers.
See the LWN.net article "Transcendent memory in a nutshell" for a detailed
overview of frontswap and related kernel parts:
https://lwn.net/Articles/454795/

Frontswap code was first posted publicly in January 2009 and on LKML in
May 2009, and has remained functionally stable for nearly three years now.
It is barely invasive, touching only the swap subsystem and adds less
than 100 lines of code to existing swap subsystem code files.
It has improved syntactically substantially between V1 and this posting
of V14, thanks to the review of a few kernel developers, and has adapted
easily to at least one major swap subsystem change.  As of 3.4, there are
three in-tree users of frontswap patiently waiting for this patchset and
for CONFIG_FRONTSWAP to be enabled: zcache (staging driver merged at
2.6.39), Xen tmem (merged at 3.0 and 3.1) and RAMster (staging driver
merged at 3.4).  In addition, a RFC has been posted for a KVM backend.
The frontswap patchset has been in linux-next since next-110603.  Earlier
versions of frontswap already ship in the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
and SuSE SLES.

This patch, 1of4, provides the header file for the core code for frontswap
that interfaces between the hooks in the swap subsystem and a frontswap
backend via frontswap_ops.

mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers

This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem.
This includes:

(1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and
swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them
to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h
just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static

(2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct.  Frontswap_map
points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates
whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages
counts how many pages are in frontswap.

(3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that
frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff".

Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted
by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk.

genirq: Add IRQS_PENDING for nested and simple irq

Every interrupt which is an active wakeup source needs the ability to
abort suspend if there is a pending irq. Right now only edge and level
irqs can do that.

            |
       +---------+
       |   INTC  |
       +---------+
               | GPIO_IRQ
            +------------+
            |  gpio-exp  |
            +------------+
              |        |
         GPIO0_IRQ  GPIO1_IRQ

In the above diagram, gpio expander has irq number GPIO_IRQ, it is
connected with two sub GPIO pins, GPIO0 and GPIO1.

During suspend, we set IRQF_NO_SUSPEND for GPIO_IRQ so that gpio
expander driver can handle the sub irq GPIO0_IRQ and GPIO1_IRQ, and
these two irqs themselves can further be handled by simple or nested
irq in some drivers(typically gpio and mfd driver). If they are used
as wakeup sources during suspend, we want them to be able to abort
suspend too.

Setting IRQS_PENDING flag in handle_nested_irq() and handle_simple_irq()
when the irq is disabled allows check_wakeup_irqs() to identify such
irqs as source for aborting suspend.

tick: Add tick skew boot option

Let the user decide whether power consumption or jitter is the
more important consideration for their machines.

Quoting removal commit af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867:

"Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the
 various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on
 xtime_lock.
    
 Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens
 since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition,
 this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on
 many-core systems."

Problems:

- Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both
  xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized.
  
- Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick
  being synchronized.

- SGI reports the same for their large systems.

- Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal,
  but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention.

- 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout
  This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed
  to have been _induced by_ skew removal.  Skew the tick, contention
  disappeared virtually completely.
