Impact: fix rare runtime deadlock
There are a few sites that do:
spin_lock_irq(&foo)
hrtimer_start(&bar)
__run_hrtimer(&bar)
func()
spin_lock(&foo)
which obviously deadlocks. In order to avoid this, never call __run_hrtimer()
from hrtimer_start*() context, but instead defer this to softirq context.

No need for a smp function call, which is likely to run on the same
CPU anyway. We can just call hrtimers_peek_ahead() in the interrupts

Add standard interfaces for alarm/update irqs enabling. Drivers are no

it.
UIE emulation should now be handled correctly and will work even for those
RTC drivers who cannot be configured to do both UIE and AIE.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

The function viafb_cursor() uses 2 stack-variables of CURSOR_SIZE bits;
CURSOR_SIZE is defined as (8 * 1024). Using up twice 1k on stack is too
much for 4k-stack (though it works with 8k-stacks). Make those two
variables kzalloc'ed to preserve stack space.
Also merge the whole lot of local struct's in viafb_ioctl into a union so
the stack usage gets minimized here as well. (struct's are only accessed
in their indicidual IOCTL case) This second part is only compile-tested as
I know of no userspace app using the IOCTLs.

Problem: ordering between the rules on exit chain is currently lost;
all watch and inode rules are listed after everything else _and_
exit,never on one kind doesn't stop exit,always on another from
being matched.
Solution: assign priorities to rules, keep track of the current
highest-priority matching rule and its result (always/never).

Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
just its numeric value.
However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't
even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as
such, rather than oopsing.
This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
"[NULL]" to match glibc).

Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines.
Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using
node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and
causes a panic due to stack overflow. This patch undoes those changes
by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'.
In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further
reducing stack usage. (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!)
