48ba2462ac MODSIGN: Implement module signature checking
Check the signature on the module against the keys compiled into the kernel or
available in a hardware key store.

Currently, only RSA keys are supported - though that's easy enough to change,
and the signature is expected to contain raw components (so not a PGP or
PKCS#7 formatted blob).

The signature blob is expected to consist of the following pieces in order:

 (1) The binary identifier for the key.  This is expected to match the
     SubjectKeyIdentifier from an X.509 certificate.  Only X.509 type
     identifiers are currently supported.

 (2) The signature data, consisting of a series of MPIs in which each is in
     the format of a 2-byte BE word sizes followed by the content data.

 (3) A 12 byte information block of the form:

	struct module_signature {
		enum pkey_algo		algo : 8;
		enum pkey_hash_algo	hash : 8;
		enum pkey_id_type	id_type : 8;
		u8			__pad;
		__be32			id_length;
		__be32			sig_length;
	};

     The three enums are defined in crypto/public_key.h.

     'algo' contains the public-key algorithm identifier (0->DSA, 1->RSA).

     'hash' contains the digest algorithm identifier (0->MD4, 1->MD5, 2->SHA1,
      etc.).

     'id_type' contains the public-key identifier type (0->PGP, 1->X.509).

     '__pad' should be 0.

     'id_length' should contain in the binary identifier length in BE form.

     'sig_length' should contain in the signature data length in BE form.

     The lengths are in BE order rather than CPU order to make dealing with
     cross-compilation easier.

ea0b6dcf71 MODSIGN: Provide Kconfig options
Provide kernel configuration options for module signing.

The following configuration options are added:

     CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA1
     CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA224
     CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA256
     CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA384
     CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA512

These select the cryptographic hash used to digest the data prior to signing.
Additionally, the crypto module selected will be built into the kernel as it
won't be possible to load it as a module without incurring a circular
dependency when the kernel tries to check its signature.

106a4ee258 module: signature checking hook
We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module
(which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway).  There's both a config
option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with
unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key.

If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is
loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the
key.

4520c6a49a X.509: Add simple ASN.1 grammar compiler
Add a simple ASN.1 grammar compiler.  This produces a bytecode output that can
be fed to a decoder to inform the decoder how to interpret the ASN.1 stream it
is trying to parse.

Action functions can be specified in the grammar by interpolating:

	({ foo })

after a type, for example:

	SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
		algorithm		AlgorithmIdentifier,
		subjectPublicKey	BIT STRING ({ do_key_data })
		}

The decoder is expected to call these after matching this type and parsing the
contents if it is a constructed type.

The grammar compiler does not currently support the SET type (though it does
support SET OF) as I can't see a good way of tracking which members have been
encountered yet without using up extra stack space.

Currently, the grammar compiler will fail if more than 256 bytes of bytecode
would be produced or more than 256 actions have been specified as it uses
8-bit jump values and action indices to keep space usage down.

046d662f48 coredump: make core dump functionality optional
Adds an expert Kconfig option, CONFIG_COREDUMP, which allows disabling of
core dump.  This saves approximately 2.6k in the compiled kernel, and
complements CONFIG_ELF_CORE, which now depends on it.

CONFIG_COREDUMP also disables coredump-related sysctls, except for
suid_dumpable and related functions, which are necessary for ptrace.

437589a74b Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
  support.  This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
  enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
  namespace.  Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
  filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
  nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.

  The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
  subsystems and filesystems as reasonable.  Leaving the make_kuid and
  from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
  come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
  Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
  namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.

  The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
  union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
  Those places were converted into explicit unions.  I made certain to
  handle those places with simple trivial patches.

  Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
  quota by projid.  I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
  Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
  for most of the code size growth in my git tree.

  Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
  "capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
  root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
  non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.

  While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
  I made a few other cleanups.  I capitalized on the fact we process
  netlink messages in the context of the message sender.  I removed
  usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.

  Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
  problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
  linux-next.

  After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
  win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

Fix up some fairly trivial conflicts in netfilter uid/git logging code.

2223af3890 efi: Fix the ACPI BGRT driver for images located in EFI boot services memory
The ACPI BGRT driver accesses the BIOS logo image when it initializes.
However, ACPI 5.0 (which introduces the BGRT) recommends putting the
logo image in EFI boot services memory, so that the OS can reclaim that
memory.  Production systems follow this recommendation, breaking the
ACPI BGRT driver.

Move the bulk of the BGRT code to run during a new EFI late
initialization phase, which occurs after switching EFI to virtual mode,
and after initializing ACPI, but before freeing boot services memory.
Copy the BIOS logo image to kernel memory at that point, and make it
accessible to the BGRT driver.  Rework the existing ACPI BGRT driver to
act as a simple wrapper exposing that image (and the properties from the
BGRT) via sysfs.

fdf9c35650 cputime: Make finegrained irqtime accounting generally available
There is no known reason for this option to be unavailable on other
archs than x86. They just need to call enable_sched_clock_irqtime()
if they have a sufficiently finegrained clock to make it working.

Move it to the general option and let the user choose between
it and pure tick based or virtual cputime accounting.

Note that virtual cputime accounting already performs a finegrained
irqtime accounting. CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is a kind of middle ground
between tick and virtual based accounting. So CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING are mutually exclusive choices.

431f19744d userns: Convert quota netlink aka quota_send_warning
Modify quota_send_warning to take struct kqid instead a type and
identifier pair.

When sending netlink broadcasts always convert uids and quota
identifiers into the intial user namespace.  There is as yet no way to
send a netlink broadcast message with different contents to receivers
in different namespaces, so for the time being just map all of the
identifiers into the initial user namespace which preserves the
current behavior.

Change the callers of quota_send_warning in gfs2, xfs and dquot
to generate a struct kqid to pass to quota send warning.  When
all of the user namespaces convesions are complete a struct kqid
values will be availbe without need for conversion, but a conversion
is needed now to avoid needing to convert everything at once.

74a8a10378 userns: Convert qutoactl
Update the quotactl user space interface to successfull compile with
user namespaces support enabled and to hand off quota identifiers to
lower layers of the kernel in struct kqid instead of type and qid
pairs.

The quota on function is not converted because while it takes a quota
type and an id.  The id is the on disk quota format to use, which
is something completely different.

The signature of two struct quotactl_ops methods were changed to take
struct kqid argumetns get_dqblk and set_dqblk.

The dquot, xfs, and ocfs2 implementations of get_dqblk and set_dqblk
are minimally changed so that the code continues to work with
the change in parameter type.

This is the first in a series of changes to always store quota
identifiers in the kernel in struct kqid and only use raw type and qid
values when interacting with on disk structures or userspace.  Always
using struct kqid internally makes it hard to miss places that need
conversion to or from the kernel internal values.

4bd6e32ace userns: Convert taskstats to handle the user and pid namespaces.
- Explicitly limit exit task stat broadcast to the initial user and
  pid namespaces, as it is already limited to the initial network
  namespace.

- For broadcast task stats explicitly generate all of the idenitiers
  in terms of the initial user namespace and the initial pid
  namespace.

- For request stats report them in terms of the current user namespace
  and the current pid namespace.  Netlink messages are delivered
  syncrhonously to the kernel allowing us to get the user namespace
  and the pid namespace from the current task.

- Pass the namespaces for representing pids and uids and gids
  into bacct_add_task.

cca080d9b6 userns: Convert audit to work with user namespaces enabled
- Explicitly format uids gids in audit messges in the initial user
  namespace. This is safe because auditd is restrected to be in
  the initial user namespace.

- Convert audit_sig_uid into a kuid_t.

- Enable building the audit code and user namespaces at the same time.

The net result is that the audit subsystem now uses kuid_t and kgid_t whenever
possible making it almost impossible to confuse a raw uid_t with a kuid_t
preventing bugs.

45f035ab9b CONFIG_HOTPLUG should be always on
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is a very old option, back when we had static systems and it was
odd that any type of device would be removed or added after the system had
started up.  It is quite hard to disable it these days, and even if you do, it
only saves you about 200 bytes.  However, if it is disabled, lots of bugs show
up because it is almost never tested if the option is disabled.

This is a step to eventually just remove the option entirely, which will clean
up all of the devinit* variable and function pointer options, that everyone
(myself include) ends up getting wrong eventually, causing real problems when
memory segments are removed yet we don't expect them to be.

a6c6796c71 userns: Convert cls_flow to work with user namespaces enabled
The flow classifier can use uids and gids of the sockets that
are transmitting packets and do insert those uids and gids
into the packet classification calcuation.  I don't fully
understand the details but it appears that we can depend
on specific uids and gids when making traffic classification
decisions.

To work with user namespaces enabled map from kuids and kgids
into uids and gids in the initial user namespace giving raw
integer values the code can play with and depend on.

To avoid issues of userspace depending on uids and gids in
packet classifiers installed from other user namespaces
and getting confused deny all packet classifiers that
use uids or gids that are not comming from a netlink socket
in the initial user namespace.

At logging instance creation capture the peer netlink socket's user
namespace. Use the captured peer user namespace when reporting socket
uids to the peer.

The peer socket's user namespace is guaranateed to be valid until the user
closes the netlink socket.  nfnetlink_log removes instances during the final
close of a socket.  __build_packet_message does not get called after an
instance is destroyed.   Therefore it is safe to let the peer netlink socket
take care of the user namespace reference counting for us.

4f82f45730 net ip6 flowlabel: Make owner a union of struct pid * and kuid_t
Correct a long standing omission and use struct pid in the owner
field of struct ip6_flowlabel when the share type is IPV6_FL_S_PROCESS.
This guarantees we don't have issues when pid wraparound occurs.

Use a kuid_t in the owner field of struct ip6_flowlabel when the
share type is IPV6_FL_S_USER to add user namespace support.

In /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel capture the current pid namespace when
opening the file and release the pid namespace when the file is
closed ensuring we print the pid owner value that is meaning to
the reader of the file.  Similarly use from_kuid_munged to print
uid values that are meaningful to the reader of the file.

This requires exporting pid_nr_ns so that ipv6 can continue to built
as a module.  Yoiks what silliness

The user namespace code has an explicit "depends on USB_DEVICEFS = n"
dependency to prevent building code that is not yet user namespace safe. With
the removal of usbfs from the kernel it is now impossible to satisfy the
USB_DEFICEFS = n dependency and thus it is impossible to enable user

9adb62a5df mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat
When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a
fallback zonelist should be created for the new node.  There's code to try
to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below:

	/*
	 * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding
	 * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here.
	 */
	mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex);
	build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL);
	mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex);

But it doesn't work as expected.  When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the
new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't
been called yet.  And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for
online nodes as:

        for_each_online_node(nid) {
                pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);

                build_zonelists(pgdat);
                build_zonelist_cache(pgdat);
        }

Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't.  So
add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for
the new pgdat too.

2bc64a2046 mm/hugetlb: add new HugeTLB cgroup
Implement a new controller that allows us to control HugeTLB allocations.
The extension allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and
enforces the controller limit during page fault.  Since HugeTLB doesn't
support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that,
the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages
beyond its limit.  This requires the application to know beforehand how
much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use.

The charge/uncharge calls will be added to HugeTLB code in later patch.
Support for cgroup removal will be added in later patches.

4a9d4b024a switch fput to task_work_add
... and schedule_work() for interrupt/kernel_thread callers
(and yes, now it *is* OK to call from interrupt).

We are guaranteed that __fput() will be done before we return
to userland (or exit).  Note that for fput() from a kernel
thread we get an async behaviour; it's almost always OK, but
sometimes you might need to have __fput() completed before
you do anything else.  There are two mechanisms for that -
a general barrier (flush_delayed_fput()) and explicit
__fput_sync().  Both should be used with care (as was the
case for fput() from kernel threads all along).  See comments
in fs/file_table.c for details.

ae82fdb140 module_param: stop double-calling parameters.
Commit 026cee0086 "params:
<level>_initcall-like kernel parameters" set old-style module
parameters to level 0.  And we call those level 0 calls where we used
to, early in start_kernel().

We also loop through the initcall levels and call the levelled
module_params before the corresponding initcall.  Unfortunately level
0 is early_init(), so we call the standard module_param calls twice.

(Turns out most things don't care, but at least ubi.mtd does).

Change the level to -1 for standard module_param calls.

bacef661ac x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock
Other than ix86, x86-64 on EFI so far didn't set the
{g,s}et_wallclock accessors to the EFI routines, thus
incorrectly using raw RTC accesses instead.

Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't
enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in
physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual
addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions
(which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so
instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode()
ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling
efi-get-time in physical mode).

Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable()
requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be
avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this
function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()).

Also make the two EFI functions in question here static -
they're not being referenced elsewhere.

c67e5382fb init: disable sparse checking of the mount.o source files
The init/mount.o source files produce a number of sparse warnings of the
type:

warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
   expected char [noderef] <asn:1>*dev_name
   got char *name

This is due to the syscalls expecting some of the arguments to be user
pointers but they are being passed as kernel pointers.  This is harmless
but adds a lot of noise to a sparse build.

To limit the noise just disable the sparse checking in the relevant source
files, but still display a warning so that the user knows this has been
done.

Since the sparse checking has been disabled we can also remove the __user
__force casts that are scattered thru the source.

644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

 "The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
  exception table, to speed up booting.  This is achieved by the
  architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT.  This option is enabled

  On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
  sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
  exception table format was needed.  This required the abstracting out
  of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
  assumptions about the x86 exception table format.

  While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
  exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
  rdmsr_safe() et al.

  All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is

5d4e2d08e7 Driver core pull for 3.5-rc1
Here's the driver core, and other driver subsystems, pull request for
 the 3.5-rc1 merge window.
 
 Outside of a few minor driver core changes, we ended up with the
 following different subsystem and core changes as well, due to
 interdependancies on the driver core:
  - hyperv driver updates
  - drivers/memory being created and some drivers moved into it
  - extcon driver subsystem created out of the old Android staging switch
    driver code
  - dynamic debug updates
  - printk rework, and /dev/kmsg changes
 
 All of this has been tested in the linux-next releases for a few weeks
 with no reported problems.

764e0da14f timers: Fixup the Kconfig consolidation fallout
Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually
include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we
broke them.

Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the
include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others.

This does not change anything for the architectures using the old
style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there.

For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it
moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is
a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified
by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

31a67102f4 Fix blocking allocations called very early during bootup
During early boot, when the scheduler hasn't really been fully set up,
we really can't do blocking allocations because with certain (dubious)
configurations the "might_resched()" calls can actually result in
scheduling events.

We could just make such users always use GFP_ATOMIC, but quite often the
code that does the allocation isn't really aware of the fact that the
scheduler isn't up yet, and forcing that kind of random knowledge on the
initialization code is just annoying and not good for anybody.

And we actually have a the 'gfp_allowed_mask' exactly for this reason:
it's just that the kernel init sequence happens to set it to allow
blocking allocations much too early.

So move the 'gfp_allowed_mask' initialization from 'start_kernel()'
(which is some of the earliest init code, and runs with preemption
disabled for good reasons) into 'kernel_init()'.  kernel_init() is run
in the newly created thread that will become the 'init' process, as
opposed to the early startup code that runs within the context of what
will be the first idle thread.

So by the time we reach 'kernel_init()', we know that the scheduler must
be at least limping along, because we've already scheduled from the idle
thread into the init thread.

Add a new internal Kconfig option UIDGID_CONVERTED that is true when the selected
Kconfig options have been converted to be user namespace safe, and guard
USER_NS and guard the UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECK options with it.

This keeps innocent kernel users from having the choice to enable
the user namespace in the cases where it is known not to work.

Most of the rest of the conversions are simple and straight forward but
their sheer number means it is good not to count on having them all done
and reviwed before thinking of merging this code.

377485f624 init: don't try mounting device as nfs root unless type fully matches
Currently, we'll try mounting any device who's major device number is
UNNAMED_MAJOR as NFS root.  This would happen for non-NFS devices as
well (such as 9p devices) but it wouldn't cause any issues since
mounting the device as NFS would fail quickly and the code proceeded to
doing the proper mount:

       [  101.522716] VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
       [  101.534499] VFS: Mounted root (9p filesystem) on device 0:18.

Commit 6829a048102a ("NFS: Retry mounting NFSROOT") introduced retries
when mounting NFS root, which means that now we don't immediately fail
and instead it takes an additional 90+ seconds until we stop retrying,
which has revealed the issue this patch fixes.

This meant that it would take an additional 90 seconds to boot when
we're not using a device type which gets detected in order before NFS.

This patch modifies the NFS type check to require device type to be
'Root_NFS' instead of requiring the device to have an UNNAMED_MAJOR
major.  This makes boot process cleaner since we now won't go through
the NFS mounting code at all when the device isn't an NFS root
("/dev/nfs").

parse_args() already has the "name" parameter, which is renamed to
"doing" to better reflect current uses 1,2 above.  parse_args() passes
it to an altered parse_one(), which now passes it down into the
unknown option handler callbacks.

The mod->name will be needed to handle dyndbg for loadable modules,
since params passed by modprobe are not qualified (they do not have a
"$modname." prefix), and by the time the unknown-param callback is
called, the module name is not otherwise available.

Minor tweaks:

Add param-name to parse_one's pr_debug(), current message doesnt
identify the param being handled, add it.

Add a pr_info to print current level and level_name of the initcall,
and number of registered initcalls at that level.  This adds 7 lines
to dmesg output, like:

   initlevel:6=device, 172 registered initcalls

Drop "parameters" from initcall_level_names[], its unhelpful in the
pr_info() added above.  This array is passed into parse_args() by
do_initcall_level().

a99cd11251 init: fix bug where environment vars can't be passed via boot args
Commit 026cee0086 had the side-effect of dropping the '=' from
the unknown boot arguments that are passed to init as environment
variables.  This is because parse_args() puts a NUL in the string
where the '=' was when it passes the "param" and "val" pointers
to the parsing subfunctions.  Previously, unknown_bootoption() was
the last parse_args() subfunction to run, and it carefully put back
the '=' character.  Now the ignore_unknown_bootoption() is the last
one to run, and it wasn't doing the necessary repair, so the
envp params ended up with the embedded NUL and were no longer
seen as valid environment variables by init.

8932a63d5e rcu: Reduce cache-miss initialization latencies for large systems
Commit #0209f649 (rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout) set an upper
limit of 16 on the leaf-level fanout for the rcu_node tree.  This was
needed to reduce lock contention that was induced by the synchronization
of scheduling-clock interrupts, which was in turn needed to improve
energy efficiency for moderate-sized lightly loaded servers.

However, reducing the leaf-level fanout means that there are more
leaf-level rcu_node structures in the tree, which in turn means that
RCU's grace-period initialization incurs more cache misses.  This is
not a problem on moderate-sized servers with only a few tens of CPUs,
but becomes a major source of real-time latency spikes on systems with
many hundreds of CPUs.  In addition, the workloads running on these large
systems tend to be CPU-bound, which eliminates the energy-efficiency
advantages of synchronizing scheduling-clock interrupts.  Therefore,
these systems need maximal values for the rcu_node leaf-level fanout.

This commit addresses this problem by introducing a new kernel parameter
named RCU_FANOUT_LEAF that directly controls the leaf-level fanout.
This parameter defaults to 16 to handle the common case of a moderate
sized lightly loaded servers, but may be set higher on larger systems.

c9336643e1 rcu: Clarify help text for RCU_BOOST_PRIO
The old text confused real-time applications with real-time threads, so
that you pretty much needed to understand how this kernel configuration
parameter worked to understand the help text.  This commit therefore
attempts to make the help text human-readable.
