Commit 50bed2e2 ("sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer")
introduced disabling interrupts in sg_copy_buffer() since atomic uses of
miter required it due to use of kmap_atomic().

However, as commit 8290e2d2 ("scatterlist: atomic sg_mapping_iter()
no longer needs disabled IRQs") acknowledges disabling interrupts is no
longer needed for calls to kmap_atomic() and therefore unneeded for
miter ops either, so remove it from sg_copy_buffer().

The issue is described here, with a nice testcase:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192931

The problem is that shmat() calls do_mmap_pgoff() with MAP_FIXED, and
the address rounded down to 0.  For the regular mmap case, the
protection mentioned above is that the kernel gets to generate the
address -- arch_get_unmapped_area() will always check for MAP_FIXED and
return that address.  So by the time we do security_mmap_addr(0) things
get funky for shmat().

The testcase itself shows that while a regular user crashes, root will
not have a problem attaching a nil-page.  There are two possible fixes
to this.  The first, and which this patch does, is to simply allow root
to crash as well -- this is also regular mmap behavior, ie when hacking
up the testcase and adding mmap(...  |MAP_FIXED).  While this approach
is the safer option, the second alternative is to ignore SHM_RND if the
rounded address is 0, thus only having MAP_SHARED flags.  This makes the
behavior of shmat() identical to the mmap() case.  The downside of this
is obviously user visible, but does make sense in that it maintains
semantics after the round-down wrt 0 address and mmap.

Passes shm related ltp tests.

sysv sem has two lock modes: One with per-semaphore locks, one lock mode
with a single global lock for the whole array.  When switching from the
per-semaphore locks to the global lock, all per-semaphore locks must be
scanned for ongoing operations.

The patch adds a hysteresis for switching from the global lock to the
per semaphore locks.  This reduces how often the per-semaphore locks
must be scanned.

Compared to the initial patch, this is a simplified solution: Setting
USE_GLOBAL_LOCK_HYSTERESIS to 1 restores the current behavior.

In theory, a workload with exactly 10 simple sops and then one complex
op now scales a bit worse, but this is pure theory: If there is
concurrency, the it won't be exactly 10:1:10:1:10:1:...  If there is no
concurrency, then there is no need for scalability.

a) The ACQUIRE in spin_lock() applies to the read, not to the store, at
   least for powerpc.  This forces to add a smp_mb() into the fast path.

b) The memory barrier provided by spin_unlock_wait() is right now arch
   dependent.

Therefore: Use spin_lock()/spin_unlock() instead of spin_unlock_wait().

Advantage: faster single op semop calls(), observed +8.9% on x86.  (the
other solution would be arch dependencies in ipc/sem).

Disadvantage: slower complex op semop calls, if (and only if) there are
no sleeping operations.

The next patch adds hysteresis, this further reduces the probability
that the slow path is used.

Commit 4a9d4b02 ("switch fput to task_work_add") implements a
schedule_work() for completing fput(), but did not guarantee calling
__fput() after unpacking initramfs.  Because of this, there is a
possibility that during boot a driver can see ETXTBSY when it tries to
load a binary from initramfs as fput() is still pending on that binary.

This patch makes sure that fput() is completed after unpacking initramfs
and removes the call to flush_delayed_fput() in kernel_init() which
happens very late after unpacking initramfs.

The aio interface adds substantial attack surface for a feature that's
not being exposed by Android at all.  It's unlikely that anyone is using
the kernel feature directly either.  This feature is rarely used even on
servers.  The glibc POSIX aio calls really use thread pools.  The lack
of widespread usage also means this is relatively poorly audited/tested.

The kernel's aio rarely provides performance benefits over using a
thread pool and is quite incomplete in terms of system call coverage
along with having edge cases where blocking can occur.  Part of the
