Here are a number of bugfixes for the drivers/staging/ portion of the kernel
that have been reported recently.
Nothing major here, with maybe the exception of the ramster code can now be
built so it is enabled in the build again, and lots of memory leaks that people
like to have fixed on their systems.

If, in __persistent_ram_init(), the call to
persistent_ram_buffer_init() fails or the call to
persistent_ram_init_ecc() fails then we fail to free the memory we
allocated to 'prz' with kzalloc() - thus leaking it.
To prevent the leaks I consolidated all error exits from the function
at a 'err:' label at the end and made all error cases jump to that
label where we can then make sure we always free 'prz'. This is safe
since all the situations where the code bails out happen before 'prz'
has been stored anywhere and although we'll do a redundant kfree(NULL)
call in the case of kzalloc() itself failing that's OK since kfree()
deals gracefully with NULL pointers and I felt it was more important
to keep all error exits at a single location than to avoid that one
harmless/redundant kfree() on a error path.

If gpio_request fails, we need to free all allocated resources.
Current code uses wrong array index to access gpio_data array.
So current code actually frees gpio_data[i].gpio by j times.

The task handoff notifier leaks task_struct since it never gets freed
after the callback returns NOTIFY_OK, which means it is responsible for
doing so.
It turns out the lowmemorykiller actually doesn't need this notifier at
all. It's used to prevent unnecessary killing by waiting for a thread
to exit as a result of lowmem_shrink(), however, it's possible to do
this in the same way the kernel oom killer works by setting TIF_MEMDIE
and avoid killing if we're still waiting for it to exit.
The kernel oom killer will already automatically set TIF_MEMDIE for
threads that are attempting to allocate memory that have a fatal signal.
The thread selected by lowmem_shrink() will have such a signal after the
lowmemorykiller sends it a SIGKILL, so this won't result in an
unnecessary use of memory reserves for the thread to exit.
This has the added benefit that we don't have to rely on
CONFIG_PROFILING to prevent needlessly killing tasks.

binder_update_page_range could read freed memory if the vma of the
selected process was freed right before the check that the vma
belongs to the mm struct it just locked.
If the vm_mm pointer in that freed vma struct had also been rewritten
with a value that matched the locked mm struct, then the code would
proceed and possibly modify the freed vma.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfcf6e): Section mismatch in reference
from the function ram_console_driver_probe() to the function
.init.text:persistent_ram_init_ringbuffer()
The function ram_console_driver_probe() references
the function __init persistent_ram_init_ringbuffer().
This is often because ram_console_driver_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of persistent_ram_init_ringbuffer is
wrong.
Move this driver to platform_driver_probe() because ram console
devices aren't going to be added and removed at runtime. Also
shorten the probe function name since driver is redundant and
makes the function name long.

The Linux kernel has a setting called dmesg_restrict. When true,
only processes with CAP_SYSLOG can view the kernel dmesg logs. This
helps prevent leaking of kernel information into user space.
On Android, it's possible to bypass these restrictions by viewing
/proc/last_kmsg.
This change makes /proc/last_kmsg require the same permissions as
dmesg.

Split ram_console into two halves.
persistent_ram is a set of apis that handle a block of memory
that does not get erased across a reboot. It provides functions
to fill it as a single buffer or a ring buffer, and to extract
the old data after a reboot. It handles ecc on the data to
correct bit errors introduced during reboot.
ram_console is now a small wrapper around persistent_ram that
feeds console data into the ringbuffer, and exports the old
data to /proc/last_kmsg after a reboot.

The lowmemorykiller registers an atomic notifier for notfication of when
the task is freed. From this atomic notifier callback, it removes the
atomic notifier via task_free_unregister(). This is incorrect because
atomic_notifier_chain_unregister() calls syncronize_rcu(), which can
sleep, which shouldn't be done from an atomic notifier.
Fix this by registering the notifier during init, and only unregister it
if the lowmemorykiller is unloaded.

Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and
close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we
abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under
normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the
fd_sets.
The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted,
since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths.
This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing
close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags:
void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because
they require the caller to hold a lock to use them.
Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the
the array. Possibly that should exist too.

appropriate task (with lock held).

Grabbing tasklist_lock has its disadvantages, i.e. it blocks

blocking doesn't sound as a great idea.
For LMK, it is sufficient to surround tasks list traverse with
rcu_read_{,un}lock().

Make this code slightly easier to read, and eliminate calls

by the compiler, but one memcpy was not.
In my testing, this makes the code about 20% smaller, and
has no sub-routine calls and no branches (on ARM).
v2 of this patch is, IMHO, easier to read than v1. Compared to
that patch it uses __u8 instead of unsigned char, for
