The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the
layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4
bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned.  This causes
the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like
ia64.  Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the
NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will
always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload.  Aligning the
start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't
want.  So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that
require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those
packages.  Space is reserved in the packet only when needed.  This ifdef
should be removed in several years e.g.  2012 once we can be confident
that fixed versions are installed on most systems.  We add the padding
before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type.

Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems")
previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field.
This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances
described above mean that it wasn't.  This patch backs out that change,
since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide
the padding.  Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an
aligned taskstats structure and copying it back.  Since the structure
weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

When correlating ftrace results with /proc/vmstat, I noticed that the
reporting scripts value for "pages scanned" differed significantly.  Both
values were "right" depending on how you look at it.

The difference is due to vmstat only counting scanning of the inactive
list towards pages scanned.  The analysis script for the tracepoint counts
active and inactive list yielding a far higher value than vmstat.  The
resulting scanning/reclaim ratio looks much worse.  The tracepoint is ok
but this patch updates the reporting script so that the report values for
scanned are similar to vmstat.

There are some situations (e.g. in __pm_generic_call()), where
pm_runtime_suspended() is used to decide whether or not to execute
a device's (system) ->suspend() callback.  The callback is not
executed if pm_runtime_suspended() returns true, but it does so
for devices that don't even support runtime PM, because the
power.disable_depth device field is ignored by it.  This leads to
problems (i.e. devices are not suspened when they should), so rework
pm_runtime_suspended() so that it returns false if the device's
power.disable_depth field is different from zero.

NFS needs to be able to release objects that are stored in the page
cache once the page itself is no longer visible from the page cache.

This patch adds a callback to the address space operations that allows
filesystems to perform page cleanups once the page has been removed

tcp_win_from_space() does the following:

      if (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale <= 0)
              return space >> (-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);
      else
              return space - (space >> sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);

"space" is int.

As per C99 6.5.7 (3) shifting int for 32 or more bits is
undefined behaviour.

Indeed, if sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is exactly 32,
space >> 32 equals space and function returns 0.

Which means we busyloop in tcp_fixup_rcvbuf().

Restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale to [-31, 31].

Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP
configuration option and then it is turned on by default.  There is a boot
option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature.

This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as
this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for
general purpose distribution kernel.  On the other hand swap accounting
may be very usuful for some workloads.

This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default
behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED).  If the option is selected
then the feature is turned on by default.

It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the
original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic
(defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with
noswapaccount).

The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is
enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well)

This patch adds two new files: wwan and wimax to control WWAN and
WIMAX devices. It does not use rfkill, because like WLED and BLED,
we don't know yet that the two ACPI functions will always control the
radio, they may control only the leds on some hardware.

Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that
all LEDs implement blinking.  The trigger that wants it to blink then
needs to implement its own timer solution.

Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use.
This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails
implements a timer for it.  To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also
needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink.

As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and
hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's
always easy to use.

The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful
during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap
addresses.  Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or
thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful
debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that
prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog.

This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the
dmesg_restrict sysctl.  When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are
enforced.  When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the
kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.
