Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton:
"The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to
merge things.
I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been
wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel
at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward
completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped
complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back
and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion."

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.
Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().
This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:
<smpl>

Recently, there has been some changes in kmsg_dump() below and they have been applied to linus-tree.
(1) kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC) was removed.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=a3dd3323058d281abd584b15ad4c5b65064d7a61
(2) The order of "enum kmsg_dump_reason" was modified.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=c22ab332902333f83766017478c1ef6607ace681
Replace the fragile reason_str array with a more robust solution that
will not be broken by future re-arrangements of the enum values.

This allows a backend to filter on the dmesg reason as well as the pstore
reason. When ramoops is switched to pstore, this is needed since it has
no interest in storing non-crash dmesg details.
Drop pstore_write() as it has no users, and handling the "reason" here
has no obviously correct value.

The buf_lock cannot be held while populating the inodes, so make the backend
pass forward an allocated and filled buffer instead. This solves the following
backtrace. The effect is that "buf" is only ever used to notify the backends
that something was written to it, and shouldn't be used in the read path.
To replace the buf_lock during the read path, isolate the open/read/close
loop with a separate mutex to maintain serialized access to the backend.
Note that is is up to the pstore backend to cope if the (*write)() path is
called in the middle of the read path.

Currently pstore write interface employs record id as return
value, but it is not enough because it can't tell caller if
the write operation is successful. Pass the record id back via
an argument pointer and return zero for success, non-zero for
failure.

pstore was using mutex locking to protect read/write access to the
backend plug-ins. This causes problems when pstore is executed in
an NMI context through panic() -> kmsg_dump().
This patch changes the mutex to a spin_lock_irqsave then also checks to
see if we are in an NMI context. If we are in an NMI and can't get the
lock, just print a message stating that and blow by the locking.
All this is probably a hack around the bigger locking problem but it
solves my current situation of trying to sleep in an NMI context.
Tested by loading the lkdtm module and executing a HARDLOCKUP which
will cause the machine to panic inside the nmi handler.

Life is simple for all the kernel terminating types of kmsg_dump
call backs - pstore just saves the tail end of the console log. But
for "oops" the situation is more complex - the kernel may carry on
running (possibly for ever). So we'd like to make the logged copy
of the oops appear in the pstore filesystem - so that the user has
a handle to clear the entry from the persistent backing store (if
we don't, the store may fill with "oops" entries (that are also
safely stashed in /var/log/messages) leaving no space for real
errors.
Current code calls pstore_mkfile() immediately. But this may
not be safe. The oops could have happened with arbitrary locks
held, or in interrupt or NMI context. So allocating memory and
calling into generic filesystem code seems unwise.
This patch defers making the entry appear. At the time
of the oops, we merely set a flag "pstore_new_entry" noting that
a new entry has been added. A periodic timer checks once a minute
to see if the flag is set - if so, it schedules a work queue to
rescan the backing store and make all new entries appear in the
pstore filesystem.

EFI only provides small amounts of individual storage, and conventionally
puts metadata in the storage variable name. Rather than add a metadata
header to the (already limited) variable storage, it's easier for us to
modify pstore to pass all the information we need to construct a unique
variable name to the appropriate functions.

Currently after mount/remount operation on pstore filesystem,
the content on pstore will be lost. It is because current ERST
implementation doesn't support multi-user usage, which moves
internal pointer to the end after accessing it. Adding
multi-user support for pstore usage.

the return type of function _read_ in pstore is size_t,
but in the callback function of _read_, the logic doesn't
consider it too much, which means if negative value (assuming
error here) is returned, it will be converted to positive because
of type casting. ssize_t is enough for this function.

pstore_dump() can be called with many different "reason" codes. Save
the name of the code in the persistent store record.
Also - only worthwhile calling pstore_mkfile for KMSG_DUMP_OOPS - that
is the only one where the kernel will continue running.

Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that
can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of
a system crash. This is the generic part of a file system interface
that presents information from the crash as a series of files in
/dev/pstore. Once the information has been seen, the underlying
storage is freed by deleting the files.
