Split do_lookup() into two functions:

Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it
seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and
how it works.
The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only
understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory
separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere. This
has tripped up a couple of users.

We need a way of printing useful messages to the user, for example
when we fail to open an initrd file, instead of just hanging the
machine without giving the user any indication of what went wrong. So
sprinkle some error messages throughout the EFI boot stub code to make
it easier for users to diagnose/report problems.

The loop at the 'close_handles' label in handle_ramdisks() should be
using 'i', which represents the number of initrd files that were
successfully opened, not 'nr_initrds' which is the number of initrd=
arguments passed on the command line.
Currently, if we execute the loop to close all file handles and we
failed to open any initrds we'll try to call the close function on a
garbage pointer, causing the machine to hang.

Btrfs had been doing it's own file_update_time so we could catch ENOSPC
properly, so just update our btrfs_update_time to work with the new stuff and
then we'll be fancy later. Thanks,
Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce
->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.
I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,

Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
"This includes a fairly large change from Josef around data writeback
completion. Before, the writeback wasn't completed until the metadata
insertions for the extent were done, and this made for fairly large
latency spikes on the last page of each ordered extent.
We already had a separate mechanism for tracking pending metadata
insertions, so Josef just needed to tweak things a little to end
writeback earlier on the page. Overall it makes us much friendly to
memory reclaim and lowers latencies quite a lot for synchronous IO.
Jan Schmidt has finished some background work required to track btree
blocks as they go through changes in ownership. It's the missing
piece he needed for both btrfs send/receive and subvolume quotas.
Neither of those are ready yet, but the new tracking code is included
here. Most of the time, the new code is off. It is only used by
scrub and other backref walkers.
Stefan Behrens has added io failure tracking. This includes counters
for which drives are causing the most trouble so the admin (or an
automated tool) can choose to kick them out. We're tracking IO
errors, crc errors, and generation checks we do on each metadata
block.
RAID5/6 did miss the cut this time because I'm having trouble with
corruptions. I'll nail it down next week and post as a beta testing
before 3.6"

This patch stops reiserfs using the VFS 'write_super()' method along with the
s_dirt flag, because they are on their way out.
The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the
'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblock using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client
file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use
'->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make
file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove
it together with the kernel thread.

The 'journal_mark_dirty()' function currently first marks the superblock as
dirty by setting 's_dirt' to 1, then does various sanity checks and returns,
then actuall does all the magic with the journal.
This is not an ideal order, though. It makes more sense to first do all the
checks, then do all the internal stuff, and at the end notify the VFS that the
superblock is now dirty.
This patch moves the 's_dirt = 1' assignment from the very beginning of this
function to the very end.

When truncating a file, we unmap pages from userspace first, as that's
usually more efficient than relying, page by page, on the fallback in
truncate_inode_page() - particularly if the file is mapped many times.
Do the same when punching a hole: 3.4 added truncate_pagecache_range()
to do the unmap and trunc, so use it in ext4_ext_punch_hole(), instead
of calling truncate_inode_pages_range() directly.

We can't have references held on pages in the s_buddy_cache while we are
trying to truncate its pages and put the inode. All the pages must be

can prevent new users from grabbing references to s_buddy_cache's pages.

In commit 353eb83c we removed i_state_flags with 64-bit longs, But
when handling the EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl, we replace i_flags
directly, which trashes the state flags which are stored in the high
32-bits of i_flags on 64-bit platforms. So use the the
ext4_{set,clear}_inode_flags() functions which use atomic bit
manipulation functions instead.

When both DYNAMIC_FTRACE and LOCKDEP are set, the TRACE_IRQS_ON/OFF
will call into the lockdep code. The lockdep code can call lots of
functions that may be traced by ftrace. When ftrace is updating its
code and hits a breakpoint, the breakpoint handler will call into
lockdep. If lockdep happens to call a function that also has a breakpoint
attached, it will jump back into the breakpoint handler resetting
the stack to the debug stack and corrupt the contents currently on
that stack.
The 'do_sym' call that calls do_int3() is protected by modifying the
IST table to point to a different location if another breakpoint is
hit. But the TRACE_IRQS_OFF/ON are outside that protection, and if
a breakpoint is hit from those, the stack will get corrupted, and
the kernel will crash:

The solution was to reuse the NMI functions that change the IDT table to make the debug
stack keep its current stack (in kernel mode) when hitting a breakpoint:
call debug_stack_set_zero
TRACE_IRQS_ON
call debug_stack_reset
If the TRACE_IRQS_ON happens to hit a breakpoint then it will keep the current stack
and not crash the box.

When the NMI handler runs, it checks if it preempted a debug handler
and if that handler is using the debug stack. If it is, it changes the
IDT table not to update the stack, otherwise it will reset the debug
stack and corrupt the debug handler it preempted.
Now that ftrace uses breakpoints to change functions from nops to
callers, many more places may hit a breakpoint. Unfortunately this
includes some of the calls that lockdep performs. Which causes issues
with the debug stack. It too needs to change the debug stack before
tracing (if called from the debug handler).
Allow the debug_stack_set_zero() and debug_stack_reset() to be nested
so that the debug handlers can take advantage of them too.
[ Used this_cpu_*() over __get_cpu_var() as suggested by H. Peter Anvin ]

When an NMI goes off and it sees that it preempted the debug stack,
to keep the debug stack safe, it changes the IDT to point to one that
does not modify the stack on breakpoint (to allow breakpoints in NMIs).
But the variable that gets set to know to undo it on exit never gets
cleared on exit. Thus every NMI will reset it on exit the first time
it is done even if it does not need to be reset.

On boot up and module load, it is fine to modify the code directly,
without the use of breakpoints. This is because boot up modification
is done before SMP is initialized, thus the modification is serial,
and module load is done before the module executes.
But after that we must use a SMP safe method to modify running code.
Otherwise, if we are running the function tracer and update its
function (by starting off the stack tracer, or perf tracing)
the change of the function called by the ftrace trampoline is done
directly. If this is being executed on another CPU, that CPU may
take a GPF and crash the kernel.
The breakpoint method is used to change the nops at all the functions, but
the change of the ftrace callback handler itself was still using a
direct modification. If tracing was enabled and the function callback
was changed then another CPU could fault if it was currently calling
the original callback. This modification must use the breakpoint method
too.
Note, the direct method is still used for boot up and module load.
