msm: Create shadow files under /sys/kernel/ipv4

The TCP delayed ack parameters can be configured from user space
application which runs with non-root credentials and does not have
direct write access to /proc entries. This commit creates shadow
files under /sys/kernel/ipv4 which maps to /proc/sys/net/ipv4.

irq: Set CPU affinity right on thread creation

As irq_thread_check_affinity is called ONLY inside the while loop in
the irq thread, the core affinity is set only when an interrupt
occurs. This patch sets the core affinity right after the irq thread
is created and before it waits for interrupts. In real-tiime targets
that do not typically change the core affinity of irqs during
run-time, this patch will save additional latency of an irq thread in
setting the core affinity during the first interrupt occurrence for
that irq.

cma: Remove potential deadlock situation

A report was given of a deadlock situation on the cma_mutex:

mutex_lock(cma_mutex)   (*2)
dma_release_from_contiguous
ion_secure_cma_free_chunk
ion_secure_cma_shrinker
shrink_slab
try_to_free_pages
migrate_pages
alloc_contig_range
mutex_lock(cma_mutex)  (*1)
dma_alloc_from_contiguous
ion_alloc

We may need to free CMA allocations while a current CMA allocation is in
progress if CMA is freed from a shrinker. cma_mutex currently protects
two things: the bitmap indicating which pages are allocated/free and
serialization of isolation/migration calls on allocation. There is
no need to take the mutex on free calls though as the pages are
freed back into the system via the regular __free_page call. Move
the free_contig_range call outside the cma_mutex to break the
chain dependency. We can safely free the pages back into the system
before changing the bitmap without any risk of races.

CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume

In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed
masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets
have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is
destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset
configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations.

However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which
the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to
exactly the same state it was in before suspend.

In order to achieve that, do the following:

1. Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume. At all.
   In particular, don't move the tasks from one cpuset to another, and
   don't modify any cpuset's cpus_allowed mask. So, simply ignore cpusets
   during the CPU hotplug operations that are carried out in the
   suspend/resume path.

2. However, cpusets and sched domains are related. We just want to avoid
   altering cpusets alone. So, to keep the sched domains updated, build
   a single sched domain (containing all active cpus) during each of the
   CPU hotplug operations carried out in s/r path, effectively ignoring
   the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks.

   (Since userspace is frozen while doing all this, it will go unnoticed.)

3. During the last CPU online operation during resume, build the sched
   domains by looking up the (unaltered) cpusets' cpus_allowed masks.
   That will bring back the system to the same original state as it was in
   before suspend.

Ultimately, this will not only solve the cpuset problem related to suspend
resume (ie., restores the cpusets to exactly what it was before suspend, by
not touching it at all) but also speeds up suspend/resume because we avoid
running cpuset update code for every CPU being offlined/onlined.

cgroup: fix exit() vs rmdir() race

kthread: make kthread_create() killable

Any user process callers of wait_for_completion() except global init
process might be chosen by the OOM killer while waiting for completion()
call by some other process which does memory allocation.  See
CVE-2012-4398 "kernel: request_module() OOM local DoS" can happen.

When such users are chosen by the OOM killer when they are waiting for
completion() in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, the system will be kept stressed
due to memory starvation because the OOM killer cannot kill such users.

kthread_create() is one of such users and this patch fixes the problem
for kthreadd by making kthread_create() killable - the same approach
used for fixing CVE-2012-4398.

kthread: ensure locality of task_struct allocations

In the presence of memoryless nodes, numa_node_id() will return the
current CPU's NUMA node, but that may not be where we expect to allocate
from memory from.  Instead, we should rely on the fallback code in the
memory allocator itself, by using NUMA_NO_NODE.  Also, when calling
kthread_create_on_node(), use the nearest node with memory to the cpu in
question, rather than the node it is running on.

futex: Unlock hb->lock in futex_wait_requeue_pi() error path

futex_wait_requeue_pi() calls futex_wait_setup(). If
futex_wait_setup() succeeds it returns with hb->lock held and
preemption disabled. Now the sanity check after this does:

        if (match_futex(&q.key, &key2)) {
	   	ret = -EINVAL;
		goto out_put_keys;
	}

which releases the keys but does not release hb->lock.

So we happily return to user space with hb->lock held and therefor
preemption disabled.

Unlock hb->lock before taking the exit route.

fs/super.c: sync ro remount after blocking writers

Move sync_filesystem() after sb_prepare_remount_readonly().  If writers
sneak in anywhere from sync_filesystem() to sb_prepare_remount_readonly()
it can cause inodes to be dirtied and writeback to occur well after
sys_mount() has completely successfully.

This was spotted by corrupted ubifs filesystems on reboot, but appears
that it can cause issues with any filesystem using writeback.

ARM: smp: flush L1 cache in cpu_die()

Flush the L1 cache for the CPU which is going down in cpu_die() so
that we don't end up with all platforms doing this.  This ensures
that any cache lines we own are pushed out before the cache becomes
inaccessible.

We may end up subsequently creating some dirty cache lines - for
example, with the complete() call, but this update must become
visible to other CPUs before __cpu_die() can proceed.  Subsequent
accesses from the platforms cpu_die() function should _not_ matter.

Also place a mb() after the complete() call to ensure that this is
visible to other CPUs.

ARM: 7573/1: idmap: use flush_cache_louis() and flush TLBs only when necessary

Flushing the cache is needed for the hardware to see the idmap table
and therefore can be done at init time.  On ARMv7 it is not necessary to
flush L2 so flush_cache_louis() is used here instead.

There is no point flushing the cache in setup_mm_for_reboot() as the
caller should, and already is, taking care of this.  If switching the
memory map requires a cache flush, then cpu_switch_mm() already includes
that operation.

What is not done by cpu_switch_mm() on ASID capable CPUs is TLB flushing
as the whole point of the ASID is to tag the TLBs and avoid flushing them
on a context switch.  Since we don't have a clean ASID for the identity
mapping, we need to flush the TLB explicitly in that case.  Otherwise
this is already performed by cpu_switch_mm().
