This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

This patch allows memory resources to be assigned with a specified
alignment at boot-time or run-time. The patch is useful when we use PCI
pass-through, because page-aligned memory resources are required to
securely share PCI resources with guest drivers.

If you want to assign the resource at boot time, please set
"pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter.

This is format of "pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter:

        [<order of align>@][<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>.<func>[; ...]
                Specifies alignment and device to reassign
                aligned memory resources.
                If <order of align> is not specified, PAGE_SIZE is
                used as alignment.
                PCI-PCI bridge can be specified, if resource
                windows need to be expanded.

This is example:

        pci=resource_alignment=20@07:00.0;18@0f:00.0;00:1d.7

If you want to assign the resource at run-time, please set
"/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file, and hot-remove the device and
hot-add the device.  For this purpose, fakephp or PCI hotplug interfaces
can be used.

The format of "/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file is the same with
boot parameter. You can use "," instead of ";".

For example:

        # cd /sys/bus/pci
        # echo -n 20@12:00.0 > resource_alignment
        # echo 1 > devices/0000:12:00.0/remove
        # echo 1 > rescan

IMA provides hardware (TPM) based measurement and attestation for
file measurements. As the Trusted Computing (TPM) model requires,
IMA measures all files before they are accessed in any way (on the
integrity_bprm_check, integrity_path_check and integrity_file_mmap
hooks), and commits the measurements to the TPM. Once added to the
TPM, measurements can not be removed.

In addition, IMA maintains a list of these file measurements, which
can be used to validate the aggregate value stored in the TPM.  The
TPM can sign these measurements, and thus the system can prove, to
itself and to a third party, the system's integrity in a way that
cannot be circumvented by malicious or compromised software.

Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.

This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.

In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.
