Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs.  This means making
PDE_DATA() out of line.  This could be made more optimal by storing
PDE()->data into inode->i_private.

Supply an accessor function for getting the private data from the parent
proc_dir_entry struct of the proc_dir_entry struct associated with an inode.

ReiserFS, for instance, stores the super_block pointer in the proc directory
it makes for that super_block, and a pointer to the respective seq_file show
function in each of the proc files in that directory.

This allows a reduction in the number of file_operations structs, open
functions and seq_operations structs required.  The problem otherwise is that
each show function requires two pieces of data but only has storage for one
per PDE (and this has no release function).

Since __proc_create() appends the name it is given to the end of the PDE
structure that it allocates, there isn't a need to store a name pointer.
Instead we can just replace the name pointer with a terminal char array of
_unspecified_ length.  The compiler will simply append the string to statically
defined variables of PDE type overlapping any hole at the end of the structure
and, unlike specifying an explicitly _zero_ length array, won't give a warning
if you try to statically initialise it with a string of more than zero length.

Also, whilst we're at it:

 (1) Move namelen to end just prior to name and reduce it to a single byte
     (name shouldn't be longer than NAME_MAX).

 (2) Move pde_unload_lock two places further on so that if it's four bytes in
     size on a 64-bit machine, it won't cause an unused hole in the PDE struct.

1. namelen is declared "unsigned short" which hints for "maybe space savings".
   Indeed in 2.4 struct proc_dir_entry looked like:

        struct proc_dir_entry {
                unsigned short low_ino;
                unsigned short namelen;

   Now, low_ino is "unsigned int", all savings were gone for a long time.
   "struct proc_dir_entry" is not that countless to worry about it's size,
   anyway.

2. converting from unsigned short to int/unsigned int can only create
   problems, we better play it safe.

Space is not really conserved, because of natural alignment for the next
field.  sizeof(struct proc_dir_entry) remains the same.

This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup

Replace inode_setattr with opencoded variants of it in all callers.  This
moves the remaining call to vmtruncate into the filesystem methods where it
can be replaced with the proper truncate sequence.

In a few cases it was obvious that we would never end up calling vmtruncate
so it was left out in the opencoded variant:

 spufs: explicitly checks for ATTR_SIZE earlier
 btrfs,hugetlbfs,logfs,dlmfs: explicitly clears ATTR_SIZE earlier
 ufs: contains an opencoded simple_seattr + truncate that sets the filesize just above

In addition to that ncpfs called inode_setattr with handcrafted iattrs,
which allowed to trim down the opencoded variant.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

* de_get() is trivial -- make inline, save a few bits of code, drop
  "refcount is 0" check -- it should be done in some generic refcount
  code, don't recall it's was helpful

* rename GET and PUT functions to pde_get(), pde_put() for cool prefix!

* remove obvious and incorrent comments

* in remove_proc_entry() use pde_put(), when I fixed PDE refcounting to
  be normal one, remove_proc_entry() was supposed to do "-1" and code now
  reflects that.

struct proc_dir_entry::owner is going to be removed. Now it's only necessary
to protect PDEs which are using ->read_proc, ->write_proc hooks.

However, ->owner assignments are racy and make it very easy for someone to switch
->owner on live PDE (as some subsystems do) without fixing refcounts and so on.

So, ->owner is on death row.

Proxy file operations exist already (proc_file_operations), just bump usecount
when necessary.
