3cb4f9fa0c lib: percpu_counter_sub
Hugh spotted that some code does:
  percpu_counter_add(&counter, -unsignedlong)

which, when the amount argument is of type s32, sort-of works thanks to
two's-complement. However when we'd change the type to s64 this breaks on 32bit
machines, because the promotion rules zero extend the unsigned number.

Provide percpu_counter_sub() to hide the s64 cast. That is:
  percpu_counter_sub(&counter, foo)
is equal to:
  percpu_counter_add(&counter, -(s64)foo);

c4dc4beed2 nfs: remove congestion_end()
These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three
issues:
  1) inter device starvation
  2) stacked device deadlocks
  3) inter process starvation

1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using
per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will
no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit
is broken.

In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant
devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total
limit proportional to the device's recent activity.

3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's
recent dirty rate.

This patch:

nfs: remove congestion_end().  It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already
wakes the waiters.

1f7d6668c2 powerpc: add Altivec/VMX state to coredumps
Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that
it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the
same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue
typedef and #defines to make it work.

A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because
it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and
0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

5b20cd80b4 x86: replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE #define
Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which
allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended
floating point' implementations in coredumps.  New note types can now be
added with an appropriate #define.

This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all
current users so there's are no change in behaviour.

This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX
state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE
(signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from
Freescale have.

eead191153 partially fix up the lookup_one_noperm mess
Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage.

 - refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much
   duplication:
	o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash
	o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to
	  the two callers
	o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away
 - lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to
   lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear
 - added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as
   lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use
   the latter ever.

369d742def e1000e: don't poke PHY registers to retreive link status
Apparently poking the link status registers when autonegotiation
is running on the PHY might botch the PHY link on 80003es2lan
devices. While this is a very rare condition we can completely
avoid it alltogether by just using the MAC link bits to provide
the proper information to ethtool.

main change:
* greatly improve per-NIC probe diagnostic output.  Similar to other
  net drivers, print out MAC address, PHY info, and various hardware and
  software flags that may be relevant.

other changes:
* similar to other net drivers, only print the initial version message
  when we have found at least one board.

* don't bother to print error message when pci_enable_device() fails,
  it will do so for us.

* use dev_printk() rather than printk() in nv_probe().  This gives
  use a standardized output similar to the rest of the kernel, and
  eliminates the need to manually print out PCI bus id.

* use DRV_NAME constant where appropriate

* clean struct pci_driver indentation

9fe79ad1e4 SELinux: improve performance when AVC misses.
* We add ebitmap_for_each_positive_bit() which enables to walk on
  any positive bit on the given ebitmap, to improve its performance
  using common bit-operations defined in linux/bitops.h.
  In the previous version, this logic was implemented using a combination
  of ebitmap_for_each_bit() and ebitmap_node_get_bit(), but is was worse
  in performance aspect.
  This logic is most frequestly used to compute a new AVC entry,
  so this patch can improve SELinux performance when AVC misses are happen.
* struct ebitmap_node is redefined as an array of "unsigned long", to get
  suitable for using find_next_bit() which is fasted than iteration of
  shift and logical operation, and to maximize memory usage allocated
  from general purpose slab.
* Any ebitmap_for_each_bit() are repleced by the new implementation
  in ss/service.c and ss/mls.c. Some of related implementation are
  changed, however, there is no incompatibility with the previous
  version.
* The width of any new line are less or equal than 80-chars.

The following benchmark shows the effect of this patch, when we
access many files which have different security context one after
another. The number is more than /selinux/avc/cache_threshold, so
any access always causes AVC misses.

3f12070e27 SELinux: policy selectable handling of unknown classes and perms
Allow policy to select, in much the same way as it selects MLS support, how
the kernel should handle access decisions which contain either unknown
classes or unknown permissions in known classes.  The three choices for the
policy flags are

0 - Deny unknown security access. (default)
2 - reject loading policy if it does not contain all definitions
4 - allow unknown security access

The policy's choice is exported through 2 booleans in
selinuxfs.  /selinux/deny_unknown and /selinux/reject_unknown.

788e7dd4c2 SELinux: Improve read/write performance
It reduces the selinux overhead on read/write by only revalidating
permissions in selinux_file_permission if the task or inode labels have
changed or the policy has changed since the open-time check.  A new LSM
hook, security_dentry_open, is added to capture the necessary state at open
time to allow this optimization.

3232c110b5 SELinux: tune avtab to reduce memory usage
This patch reduces memory usage of SELinux by tuning avtab. Number of hash
slots in avtab was 32768. Unused slots used memory when number of rules is
fewer. This patch decides number of hash slots dynamically based on number
of rules. (chain length)^2 is also printed out in avtab_hash_eval to see
standard deviation of avtab hash table.
