CPU hotplug, debug: detect imbalance between get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus()

The synchronization between CPU hotplug readers and writers is achieved
by means of refcounting, safeguarded by the cpu_hotplug.lock.

get_online_cpus() increments the refcount, whereas put_online_cpus()
decrements it.  If we ever hit an imbalance between the two, we end up
compromising the guarantees of the hotplug synchronization i.e, for
example, an extra call to put_online_cpus() can end up allowing a
hotplug reader to execute concurrently with a hotplug writer.

So, add a WARN_ON() in put_online_cpus() to detect such cases where the
refcount can go negative, and also attempt to fix it up, so that we can
continue to run.

binfmt_elf.c: use get_random_int() to fix entropy depleting

Changes:
--------
v4->v3:
- s/random_stack_user()/get_atrandom_bytes()/
- Move this function to ahead of its use to avoid the predeclaration.

v3->v2:
- Tweak code comments of random_stack_user().
- Remove redundant bits mask and shift upon the random variable.

v2->v1:
- Fix random copy to check up buffer length that are not 4-byte multiples.

v3 can be found at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg59597.html
v2 can be found at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg59418.html
v1 can be found at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg59128.html

Thanks,

Entropy is quickly depleted under normal operations like ls(1), cat(1),
etc...  between 2.6.30 to current mainline, for instance:

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
3428
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2911
$cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2620

We observed this problem has been occurring since 2.6.30 with
fs/binfmt_elf.c: create_elf_tables()->get_random_bytes(), introduced by
f06295b44c296c8f ("ELF: implement AT_RANDOM for glibc PRNG seeding").

/*
 * Generate 16 random bytes for userspace PRNG seeding.
 */
get_random_bytes(k_rand_bytes, sizeof(k_rand_bytes));

The patch introduces a wrapper around get_random_int() which has lower
overhead than calling get_random_bytes() directly.

With this patch applied:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2731
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2802
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2878

mm: vmscan: If kswapd has been running too long, allow it to sleep

Under constant allocation pressure, kswapd can be in the situation where
sleeping_prematurely() will always return true even if kswapd has been
running a long time. Check if kswapd needs to be scheduled.

Implement kexec-hardboot

"Allows hard booting (i.e., with a full hardware reboot) to a kernel
previously loaded in memory by kexec.  This works around the problem of
soft-booted kernel hangs due to improper device shutdown and/or
reinitialization."
More info in /arch/arm/Kconfig.

  I've ported it to hammerhead, it is based of my mako/grouper port, which is
  based of Asus TF201 patch ported by Jens Andersen <jens.andersen@gmail.com>

  Hammerhead is the first device I've ported this patch to which uses
  device tree binary instead of atags. It is also rather picky - its
  bootloader erases first 128MB of RAM on reboot, so following hacks had
  to be applied:
  * Copy dtb to location passed in r2 before jumping to kexecd' kernel,
    the kernel would just freeze when I left dtb above 128MB of RAM.
  * Copy kexecd' kernel to location in the first 128MB before jumping to it,
    the decompressor operates very slowly if the kernel is above the cached
    area, copying it lower and decompressing it afterwards is much faster.

  Same as my mako/flo patches, the guest kernel does not require any
  modifications, kexec-hardboot is equivalent to standard kexec.

  To support dtb, following commit was backported from the mainline:
    commit 4cabd1d9625c7d88acd143f4021fbef75394f154

      ARM: 7539/1: kexec: scan for dtb magic in segments

      This patch allows a dtb to be passed to a new kernel using the kexec
      mechinism.

      When loading segments from userspace, scan each segment's first four
      bytes for the dtb magic. If this is found set the kexec_boot_atags
      parameter to the relocate_kernel code to the phyical address of this
      segment.
