Some applications may create multimeida file with temporary name like
'*.jpg.tmp' or '*.mp4.tmp', then rename to '*.jpg' or '*.mp4'.
Now, f2fs can only detect multimedia filename with specified format:
"filename + '.' + extension", so it will make f2fs missing to detect
multimedia file with special temporary name, result in failing to set
cold flag on file.
This patch enhances detection flow for enabling lookup extension in the
middle of temporary filename.

This patch enhances the xattr consistency of dirs from suddern power-cuts.
Possible scenario would be:
1. dir->setxattr used by per-file encryption
2. file->setxattr goes into inline_xattr
3. file->fsync
In that case, we should do checkpoint for #1.
Otherwise we'd lose dir's key information for the file given #2.

Like most filesystems, f2fs will issue discard command synchronously, so
when user trigger fstrim through ioctl, multiple discard commands will be
issued serially with sync mode, which makes poor performance.
In this patch we try to support async discard, so that all discard
commands can be issued and be waited for endio in batch to improve
performance.

When creating new inode, security_inode_init_security will be called for
initializing security info related to the inode, and filename is passed to
security module, it helps security module such as SElinux to know which
rule or label could be applied for the inode with specified name.
Previously, if new inode is created as an encrypted one, f2fs will transfer
encrypted filename to security module which may fail the check of security
policy belong to the inode. So in order to this issue, alter to transfer
original unencrypted filename instead.

check_bogus_address() checked for pointer overflow using this expression,
where 'ptr' has type 'const void *':
ptr + n < ptr
Since pointer wraparound is undefined behavior, gcc at -O2 by default
treats it like the following, which would not behave as intended:
(long)n < 0
Fortunately, this doesn't currently happen for kernel code because kernel
code is compiled with -fno-strict-overflow. But the expression should be
fixed anyway to use well-defined integer arithmetic, since it could be
treated differently by different compilers in the future or could be
reported by tools checking for undefined behavior.

When building gccgo in userspace, errno.h gets parsed and the go include file
sysinfo.go is generated.
Since EREFUSED is defined to the same value as ECONNREFUSED, and ECONNREFUSED
is defined later on in errno.h, this leads to go complaining that EREFUSED
isn't defined yet.
Fix this trivial problem by moving the define of EREFUSED down after
ECONNREFUSED in errno.h (and clean up the indenting while touching this line).

The kernel test robot reported a usercopy failure in the new hardened
sanity checks, due to a page-crossing copy of the FPU state into the
task structure.
This happened because the kernel test robot was testing with SLOB, which
doesn't actually do the required book-keeping for slab allocations, and
as a result the hardening code didn't realize that the task struct
allocation was one single allocation - and the sanity checks fail.
Since SLOB doesn't even claim to support hardening (and you really
shouldn't use it), the straightforward solution is to just make the
usercopy hardening code depend on the allocator supporting it.

With STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS pte_t is a struct and the offending code
forces a cast which ends up shifting a struct and hence the gcc warning.
Note that in recent past some of the arches (aarch64, s390) made
STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS default, but we don't for ARC as this leads to slightly
worse generated code, given ARC ABI definition of returning structs
(which pte_t would become)
Quoting from ARC ABI...
"Results of type struct are returned in a caller-supplied temporary
variable whose address is passed in r0.
For such functions, the arguments are shifted so that they are
passed in r1 and up."
So
- struct to be returned would be allocated on stack requiring extra
code at call sites
- callee updates stack memory to facilitate the return (vs. simple
MOV into return reg r0)
Hence STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS is not enabled by default for ARC

The syscall ABI includes the gcc functional calling ABI since a syscall
implies userland caller and kernel callee.
The current gcc ABI (v3) for ARCv2 ISA required 64-bit data be passed in
even-odd register pairs, (potentially punching reg holes when passing such
values as args). This was partly driven by the fact that the double-word
LDD/STD instructions in ARCv2 expect the register alignment and thus gcc
forcing this avoids extra MOV at the cost of a few unused register (which we
have plenty anyways).
This however was rejected as part of upstreaming gcc port to HS. So the new
ABI v4 doesn't enforce the even-odd reg restriction.
Do note that for ARCompact ISA builds v3 and v4 are practically the same in
terms of gcc code generation.
In terms of change management, we infer the new ABI if gcc 6.x onwards
is used for building the kernel.
This also needs a stable backport to enable older kernels to work with
new tools/user-space
