do_device_access() is a function that abstracts copying SG list from/to
ramdisk storage (fake_storep).
It must deal with the ranges exceeding actual fake_storep size, because
such ranges are valid if virtual_gb is set greater than zero, and they
should be treated as fake_storep is repeatedly mirrored up to virtual
size.
Unfortunately, it can't deal with the range which wraps around the end of
fake_storep. A wrap around range is copied by two
sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() calls, but sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() can't
copy from/to in the middle of SG list, therefore the second call can't
copy correctly.
This fixes it by using sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() that can copy from/to
the middle of SG list.
This also simplifies the assignment of sdb->resid in
fill_from_dev_buffer(). Because fill_from_dev_buffer() is now only called
once per command execution cycle. So it is not necessary to take care to
decrease sdb->resid if fill_from_dev_buffer() is called more than once.

This patchset introduces sg_pcopy_from_buffer() and sg_pcopy_to_buffer(),
which copy data between a linear buffer and an SG list.
The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and
sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that specifies the
number of bytes to skip the SG list before copying.
The main reason for introducing these functions is to fix a problem in
scsi_debug module. And there is a local function in crypto/talitos
module, which can be replaced by sg_pcopy_to_buffer().
This patch:
sg_miter_get_next_page() is used to proceed page iterator to the next page
if necessary, and will be used to implement the variants of
sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() later.

for another potential user of lz4 compression.

Two APIs are added:
lz4_compress() support basic lz4 compression whereas lz4hc_compress()
support high compression or CPU performance get lower but compression
ratio get higher. Also, we require the pre-allocated working memory with
the defined size and destination buffer must be allocated with the size of
lz4_compressbound.

This patch set is for adding support for LZ4-compressed Kernel. LZ4 is a
very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely
fast decoder [1].
But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does
arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones? This issue
had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2].
Russell King said that we should have:
- one decompressor which is the fastest
- one decompressor for the highest compression ratio
- one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip)
If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly
that: replace it.
The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase
in decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the
fastest decompressor in the Kernel). Therefore the "fast but may not be
small" compression title has clearly been taken by LZ4 [3].

There are two places that can contain alter operations:
- the global queue: sma->pending_alter
- the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter.
Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd
priorization of the wakeups: complex operations have priority over
simple ops.
The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest waiting
operation has the highest priority.
This is done by using only one queue:
- if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used.
- otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used.
As a side effect, do_smart_update_queue() becomes much simpler: no more
goto logic.

Enforce that ipc_rcu_alloc returns a cacheline aligned pointer on SMP.
Rationale:
The SysV sem code tries to move the main spinlock into a seperate
cacheline (____cacheline_aligned_in_smp). This works only if
ipc_rcu_alloc returns cacheline aligned pointers. vmalloc and kmalloc
return cacheline algined pointers, the implementation of ipc_rcu_alloc
breaks that.

do_msgrcv() is the last msg queue function that abuses the ipc lock Take
it only when needed when actually updating msq.

do_msgsnd() is another function that does too many things with the ipc
object lock acquired. Take it only when needed when actually updating
msq.

While the INFO cmd doesn't take the ipc lock, the STAT commands do
acquire it unnecessarily. We can do the permissions and security checks
only holding the rcu lock.
This function now mimics semctl_nolock().

Add msq_obtain_object() and msq_obtain_object_check(), which will allow
us to get the ipc object without acquiring the lock. Just as with
semaphores, these functions are basically wrappers around
ipc_obtain_object*().

Similar to semctl, when calling msgctl, the *_INFO and *_STAT commands
can be performed without acquiring the ipc object.
Add a msgctl_nolock() function and move the logic of *_INFO and *_STAT
out of msgctl(). This change still takes the lock and it will be
properly lockless in the next patch

Instead of holding the ipc lock for the entire function, use the
ipcctl_pre_down_nolock and only acquire the lock for specific commands:
RMID and SET.

This function currently acquires both the rw_mutex and the rcu lock on
successful lookups, leaving the callers to explicitly unlock them,
creating another two level locking situation.
Make the callers (including those that still use ipcctl_pre_down())
explicitly lock and unlock the rwsem and rcu lock.

This patchset continues the work that began in the sysv ipc semaphore
scaling series, see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/20/546
Just like semaphores used to be, sysv shared memory and msg queues also
abuse the ipc lock, unnecessarily holding it for operations such as
permission and security checks.
This patchset mostly deals with mqueues, and while shared mem can be
done in a very similar way, I want to get these patches out in the open
first. It also does some pending cleanups, mostly focused on the two
level locking we have in ipc code, taking care of ipc_addid() and
ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() - yes there are still functions that need to be
updated as well.
This patch:
Make all callers explicitly take and release the RCU read lock.
This addresses the two level locking seen in newary(), newseg() and
newqueue(). For the last two, explicitly unlock the ipc object and the
rcu lock, instead of calling the custom shm_unlock and msg_unlock
functions. The next patch will deal with the open coded locking for
->perm.lock

flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() destroys the counters set by ptrace, but
"leaks" ->debugreg6 and ->ptrace_dr7.
The problem is minor, but still it doesn't look right and flush_thread()
did this until commit 66cb591729 ("hw-breakpoints: use the new wrapper
routines to access debug registers in process/thread code"). Now that
PTRACE_DETACH does flush_ too this makes even more sense.

ptrace_set_debugreg() is trivial but looks horrible. Kill the unnecessary
goto's and return's to cleanup the code.
This matches ptrace_get_debugreg() which also needs the trivial whitespace
cleanups.

Commit 24f1e32c60 ("hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer
on top of perf events") introduced the minor regression. Before this
commit
PTRACE_POKEUSER DR7, enableDR0
PTRACE_POKEUSER DR0, address
was perfectly valid, now PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR7) fails if DR0 was not
previously initialized by PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR0).
Change ptrace_write_dr7() to do ptrace_register_breakpoint(addr => 0) if
!bp && !disabled.
This fixes watchpoint-zeroaddr from ptrace-tests, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660204.

No functional changes, preparation.
Extract the "register breakpoint" code from ptrace_get_debugreg() into
the new/generic helper, ptrace_register_breakpoint(). It will have more
users.
The patch also adds another simple helper, ptrace_fill_bp_fields(), to
factor out the arch_bp_generic_fields() logic in register/modify.
