Ideally this could be simplified further such that we could pass
the pointer down directly into the xcall_deliver() implementation.

But if we do that we need to do the "cpu_online(cpu)" and

We know the cpu is online and not the current cpu here.
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

For these cases the callers make sure:

1) The cpus indicated are online.

2) The current cpu is not in the list of indicated cpus.

Therefore we can pass a pointer to the mask directly.

One of the motivations in this transformation is to make use of
"&cpumask_of_cpu(cpu)" which evaluates to a pointer to constant
data in the kernel and thus takes up no stack space.

Hopefully someone in the future will change the interface of
arch_send_call_function_ipi() such that it passes a const cpumask_t
pointer so that this will optimize ever further.

Brian Wang reported that a FUSE filesystem exported through NFS could
return I/O errors on read.  This was traced to splice_direct_to_actor()
returning a short or zero count when racing with page invalidation.

However this is not FUSE or NFSD specific, other filesystems (notably
NFS) also call invalidate_inode_pages2() to purge stale data from the
cache.

If this happens while such pages are sitting in a pipe buffer, then
splice(2) from the pipe can return zero, and read(2) from the pipe can
return ENODATA.

The zero return is especially bad, since it implies end-of-file or
disconnected pipe/socket, and is documented as such for splice.  But
returning an error for read() is also nasty, when in fact there was no
error (data becoming stale is not an error).

The same problems can be triggered by "hole punching" with
madvise(MADV_REMOVE).

Fix this by not clearing the PG_uptodate flag on truncation and
invalidation.

Currently function tty_ldisc_get() tries to load an ldisc driver module
only when tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EAGAIN. This happens only if
module is being unloaded. If ldisc module is not loaded
tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EINVAL and this case is not handled in
tty_ldisc_get(), so request_module() is not called.

Attached patch fixes this by calling request_module() if
tty_ldisc_try_get() returned any error code.

When defining a symbol in vmlinux.lds, use the VMLINUX_SYMBOL macro.
VMLINUX_SYMBOL adds a prefix charactor.

You can't just use straight symbol names in common header files as they
dont take into consideration weird arch-specific ABI conventions.  in the
case of Blackfin/h8300, the ABI dictates that any C-visible symbols have
an underscore prefixed to them.  Thus all symbols in vmlinux.lds.h need to
be wrapped in VMLINUX_SYMBOL() so that each arch can put hide this magic
in their own files.

Each resource should be printed on its own line, so start snprintf'ing
at the beginning of the buffer every time through the loop.

Also, use scnprintf() rather than snprintf() when building up the
buffer to print.  scnprintf() returns the number of characters actually
written into the buffer (not including the trailing NULL).

snprintf() returns the number of characters that *would be* written,
assuming everything would fit in the buffer.  That's nice if we want to
resize the buffer to make sure everything fits, but in this case, I
just want to keep from overflowing the buffer, and it's OK if the
output is truncated.

Using snprintf() meant that my "len" could grow to be more than the
the buffer size, which makes "sizeof(buf) - len" negative, which causes
this alarming WARN_ON:
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121736480005656&w=2
