a4054b6b20 security/tomoyo: Add a special case to handle accesses through the internal proc mount.
With the change of sys_sysctl going through the internal proc mount we no
longer need to handle security_sysctl in tomoyo as we have valid pathnames
for all sysctl accesses.  There is one slight caveat to that in that
all of the paths from the internal mount look like
"/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range" instead of
"/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range" so tomoyo needs to add the
"/proc" portion manually when resolving to full path names to get what it expects.

This change teaches tomoyo perform that modification.

6d4561110a sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler.
For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler.  Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.

86926d0096 sysctl: Remove CTL_NONE and CTL_UNNUMBERED
Now that the sysctl structures no longer have a ctl_name field
there is no reason to retain the definitions for CTL_NONE and

Because of an integer overflow on start_blk, various kind of wrong results

276b282e90 pps: events reporting fix up
PPS events must be recorded according to PPS's mode settings.

If a process asks for (i.e.) capture-assert events only, when the PPS
client calls the pps_event() function to save the current PPS event, we
should verify the event type and then discard unwanted ones.

Also, without this patch userland processes waiting for a specific PPS
event (assert or clear but not both) may be awakened at wrong time.

bcb3a1676b rtc: v3020: fix v3020_mmio_read_bit()
v3020_mmio_read_bit() always returns 0 when left_shift > 7.

v3020_mmio_read_bit()'s return type is (unsigned char).  The code returns
a value masked by (1 << left_shift) that is casted to the return type.  If
left_shift is larger than 7, the cast will always result in a 0 return
value.  The problem was discovered with left_shift = 16, and the included
patch corrects the problem.

The bug was introduced in the last (Apr 3 2009) commit of the file, kernel
versions 2.6.30 and later.

29f12ca321 pidns: fix a leak in /proc dentries and inodes with pid namespaces.
Daniel Lezcano reported a leak in 'struct pid' and 'struct pid_namespace'
that is discussed in:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/2/159.

To summarize the thread, when container-init is terminated, it sets the
PF_EXITING flag, zaps other processes in the container and waits to reap
them.  As a part of reaping, the container-init should flush any /proc
dentries associated with the processes.  But because the container-init is
itself exiting and the following PF_EXITING check, the dentries are not
flushed, resulting in leak in /proc inodes and dentries.

This fix reverts the commit 7766755a2f ("Fix /proc dcache deadlock
in do_exit") which introduced the check for PF_EXITING.  At the time of
the commit, shrink_dcache_parent() flushed dentries from other filesystems
also and could have caused a deadlock which the commit fixed.  But as
pointed out by Eric Biederman, after commit 0feae5c47a,
shrink_dcache_parent() no longer affects other filesystems.  So reverting
the commit is now safe.

As pointed out by Jan Kara, the leak is not as critical since the
unclaimed space will be reclaimed under memory pressure or by:

	echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

But since this check is no longer required, its best to remove it.

e00e431612 memcg: fix wrong pointer initialization at page migration when memcg is disabled.
Lee Schermerhorn reported that he saw bad pointer dereference in
mem_cgroup_end_migration() when he disabled memcg by boot option.

memcg's page migration logic works as

	mem_cgroup_prepare_migration(page, &ptr);
	do page migration
	mem_cgroup_end_migration(page, ptr);

Now, ptr is not initialized in prepare_migration when memcg is disabled
by boot option. This causes panic in end_migration. This patch fixes it.

f5c15d0b37 fb: remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations
Remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations from frame buffer layer.
They are used only in two drivers:
1. savagefb  - and cause bug #11248
2. uvesafb

Usage of these operations is misunderstood in both drivers so kill these
operations, fix the bug #11248 and avoid confusion in the future.

Tested on Savage 3D/MV card and the patch fixes the bug #11248.

The frame buffer layer uses these funtions during switch between graphics
and text mode of the console, but these drivers saves state before
switching of the frame buffer (in the fb_open) and after releasing it (in
the fb_release).  This defeats the purpose of these operations.

cc4a685146 page allocator: always wake kswapd when restarting an allocation attempt after direct reclaim failed
If a direct reclaim makes no forward progress, it considers whether it
should go OOM or not.  Whether OOM is triggered or not, it may retry the
allocation afterwards.  In times past, this would always wake kswapd as
well but currently, kswapd is not woken up after direct reclaim fails.
For order-0 allocations, this makes little difference but if there is a
heavy mix of higher-order allocations that direct reclaim is failing for,
it might mean that kswapd is not rewoken for higher orders as much as it
did previously.

This patch wakes up kswapd when an allocation is being retried after a
direct reclaim failure.  It would be expected that kswapd is already
awake, but this has the effect of telling kswapd to reclaim at the higher
order as well.

4739a9748e sysctl: Remove the last of the generic binary sysctl support
Now that all of the users stopped using ctl_name and strategy it
is safe to remove the fields from struct ctl_table, and it is safe
to remove the stub strategy routines as well.

f8572d8f2a sysctl net: Remove unused binary sysctl code
Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys
all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy
entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be
revmoed.

In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer
take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not
to pass one.

5046961999 sysctl arm: Remove binary sysctl support
Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys  .ctl_name
and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code.  Remove them.

Remove a smattering of ctl_names used in sysctl paths,
and kill the ctl_names in the recently added mach-bcmring.

mach-bcmring never should have had sysctl entries with
.ctl_name set.  The binary sysctl interface has been frozen
for a long time before that code was merged, to prevent
probmes with conflicts and lack of testing.   The sysctl_check
code would have caught this if anyone had ever tested it that way.
So I have simply dropped the binary sysctl support instead of
adding another compat entry into sysctl_binary.c.  Going through
/proc/sys/reboot/warm will still work.
