Merge second patch-bomb from Andrew Morton:
- misc fixes
- audit stuff
- fanotify/inotify/dnotify things
- most of the rest of MM. The new cache shrinker code from Glauber and
Dave Chinner probably isn't quite stabilized yet.
- ptrace
- ipc
- partitions
- reboot cleanups
- add LZ4 decompressor, use it for kernel compression

I was reviewing code which I suspected might allocate a zero size SG
table. That will cause memory corruption. Also we can't return before
doing the memset or we could end up using uninitialized memory in the
cleanup path.

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.

This patchset is for supporting LZ4 compression and the crypto API using
it.
As shown below, the size of data is a little bit bigger but compressing
speed is faster under the enabled unaligned memory access. We can use
lz4 de/compression through crypto API as well. Also, It will be useful
for another potential user of lz4 compression.
lz4 Compression Benchmark:
Compiler: ARM gcc 4.6.4
ARMv7, 1 GHz based board
Kernel: linux 3.4

This patch:
Add support for LZ4 compression in the Linux Kernel. LZ4 Compression APIs
for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation by Yann Collet and were changed
for kernel coding style.
LZ4 homepage : http://fastcompression.blogspot.com/p/lz4.html
LZ4 source repository : http://code.google.com/p/lz4/
svn revision : r90
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.

- Latest patch set for LZO applied
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].

Some architectures need __c[lt]z[sd]i2() for __builtin_c[lt]z[ll] and
that causes a build failure. They can be implemented using the
fls()/__ffs() and overridden by linking arch-specific versions may not
be implemented yet.
This is required by "lib: add lz4 compressor module".

Graft AIX partitions enumeration into partitions/msdos.c
There is already a AIX disks detection logic in msdos.c. When an AIX disk
has been found, and if configured to, call the aix partitions recognizer.
This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code
duplication, and ensures that AIX partitions enumeration is called before
plain msdos partitions enumeration.

Add partitions/aix.h and partitions/aix.c.
AIX LVM permits to make "logical volumes" which are made of multiple
slices of multiple disks. The new code allows only access to the
"logical volumes" which are made of one slice on the probed disk, a
slice being a contiguous disk area. The code also detects "logical
volumes" made of multiple slices on the probed disk, but can not
describe them to the partition layer, because the partition layer
generic code does not support that. When such non-contiguous "logical
volumes" are detected, a diagnostic message is printed.

sem_otime contains the time of the last semaphore operation that
completed successfully. Every operation updates this value, thus access
from multiple cpus can cause thrashing.
Therefore the patch replaces the variable with a per-semaphore variable.
The per-array sem_otime is only calculated when required.
No performance improvement on a single-socket i3 - only important for
larger systems.

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.

Introduce separate queues for operations that do not modify the
semaphore values. Advantages:
- Simpler logic in check_restart().
- Faster update_queue(): Right now, all wait-for-zero operations are
always tested, even if the semaphore value is not 0.
- wait-for-zero gets again priority, as in linux <=3.0.9

As now each semaphore has its own spinlock and parallel operations are
possible, give each semaphore its own cacheline.
On a i3 laptop, this gives up to 28% better performance:
#semscale 10 | grep "interleave 2"
- before:
Cpus 1, interleave 2 delay 0: 36109234 in 10 secs
Cpus 2, interleave 2 delay 0: 55276317 in 10 secs
Cpus 3, interleave 2 delay 0: 62411025 in 10 secs
Cpus 4, interleave 2 delay 0: 81963928 in 10 secs
-after:
Cpus 1, interleave 2 delay 0: 35527306 in 10 secs
Cpus 2, interleave 2 delay 0: 70922909 in 10 secs <<< + 28%
Cpus 3, interleave 2 delay 0: 80518538 in 10 secs
Cpus 4, interleave 2 delay 0: 89115148 in 10 secs <<< + 8.7%
i3, with 2 cores and with hyperthreading enabled. Interleave 2 in order
use first the full cores. HT partially hides the delay from cacheline
trashing, thus the improvement is "only" 8.7% if 4 threads are running.

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.

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
