Largely inspired from ipc/ipc_sysctl.c. This patch isolates the mqueue
sysctl stuff in its own file.

Implement multiple mounts of the mqueue file system, and link it to usage
of CLONE_NEWIPC.
Each ipc ns has a corresponding mqueuefs superblock. When a user does
clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) or unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), the unshare will cause an
internal mount of a new mqueuefs sb linked to the new ipc ns.
When a user does 'mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue', he mounts the
mqueuefs superblock.
Posix message queues can be worked with both through the mq_* system calls
(see mq_overview(7)), and through the VFS through the mqueue mount. Any
usage of mq_open() and friends will work with the acting task's ipc
namespace. Any actions through the VFS will work with the mqueuefs in
which the file was created. So if a user doesn't remount mqueuefs after
unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC), mq_open("/ab") will not be reflected in "ls
/dev/mqueue".
If task a mounts mqueue for ipc_ns:1, then clones task b with a new ipcns,
ipcns:2, and then task a is the last task in ipc_ns:1 to exit, then (1)
ipc_ns:1 will be freed, (2) it's superblock will live on until task b
umounts the corresponding mqueuefs, and vfs actions will continue to
succeed, but (3) sb->s_fs_info will be NULL for the sb corresponding to
the deceased ipc_ns:1.
To make this happen, we must protect the ipc reference count when
a) a task exits and drops its ipcns->count, since it might be dropping
it to 0 and freeing the ipcns
b) a task accesses the ipcns through its mqueuefs interface, since it
bumps the ipcns refcount and might race with the last task in the ipcns
exiting.
So the kref is changed to an atomic_t so we can use
atomic_dec_and_lock(&ns->count,mq_lock), and every access to the ipcns
through ns = mqueuefs_sb->s_fs_info is protected by the same lock.

Move mqueue vfsmount plus a few tunables into the ipc_namespace struct.
The CONFIG_IPC_NS boolean and the ipc_namespace struct will serve both the
posix message queue namespaces and the SYSV ipc namespaces.
The sysctl code will be fixed separately in patch 3. After just this
patch, making a change to posix mqueue tunables always changes the values
in the initial ipc namespace.

enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe.
aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes. On the

1. Rewrite of the non-dma data transfer functions to use only ONE mode
of TIMOD (TIMOD=0x1). With TIMOD=0, it was not possible to set the TX
bit pattern. So the TDBR = 0xFFFF inside the read calls won't work.
2. Clear SPI_RDBR before reading and before duplex transfer.
Otherwise the garbage data in RDBR will get read. Since mmc_spi uses a
lot of duplex transfers, this is the main cause of mmc_spi failure.
3. Poll RXS for transfer completion. Polling SPIF or TXS cannot
guarantee transfer completion. This may interrupt a transfer before it
is finished. Also this may leave garbage data in buffer and affect
next transfer.

struct spi_board_info
.chip_select = 0
struct bfin5xx_spi_chip

There are various SPI devices that require SPI MODE_0, and need to have
the Chip Selects asserted during the entire transfer. Consider using
SPI_MODE_3 (SPI_CPHA | SPI_CPOL) if your device allows it.

According to comments in linux/spi/spi.h:
* All SPI transfers start with the relevant chipselect active. Normally
* it stays selected until after the last transfer in a message. Drivers
* can affect the chipselect signal using cs_change.
*
* (i) If the transfer isn't the last one in the message, this flag is
* used to make the chipselect briefly go inactive in the middle of the
* message. Toggling chipselect in this way may be needed to terminate
* a chip command, letting a single spi_message perform all of group of
* chip transactions together.
*
* (ii) When the transfer is the last one in the message, the chip may
* stay selected until the next transfer. On multi-device SPI busses
* with nothing blocking messages going to other devices, this is just
* a performance hint; starting a message to another device deselects
* this one. But in other cases, this can be used to ensure correctness.
* Some devices need protocol transactions to be built from a series of
* spi_message submissions, where the content of one message is determined
* by the results of previous messages and where the whole transaction
* ends when the chipselect goes intactive.

This bug can be observed when two SPI devices are sharing the spi bus: One
device is set as SPI CS 7, another one is using SPI CS 4.
In spi_bfin5xx.c: cs_active(), cs_deactive() are used to control SPI_FLG
register. From the debug bellow:
cs_active: flag: 0x7f91, chip->flag: 0x7f80, cs: 7
cs_active: flag: 0xef91, chip->flag: 0xef10, cs: 4
When device A (cs_7) activate CS 7, SPI_FLG is set as 0x7f91 (however,
SPI_FLG should be set as 0x7f80, or 0x6f91 if in broadcast mode).
Due to some HW bug (very possibly), if SPI_FLG is set as 0x7f91, SPISSEL7
is asserted, however SPISSEL4 will be asserted too (I can see this using
the scope). This is unreasonable according to HRM.

Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and
maximum number of pdflush threads. This allows finer control of pdflush
on both large and small machines.
The rationale is simply one size does not fit all. Admins on large and/or
small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best
suit their needs. Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8. While
probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large
numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit
from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices.
Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is
still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still
desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the
kernel.
The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and
'/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions.
The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is
the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max. This minimum is required
since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself.
The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of
nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000.
Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

Fix a race on creating pdflush threads. Without the patch, it is possible
to create more than MAX_PDFLUSH_THREADS threads, and this has been
observed in practice on IO loaded SMP machines.
The fix involves moving the lock around to protect the check against the
thread count and correctly dealing with thread creation failure.
This fix also _mostly_ repairs a race condition on how quickly the threads
are created. The original intent was to create a pdflush thread (up to
the max allowed) every second. Without this patch is is possible to
create NCPUS pdflush threads concurrently. The 'mostly' caveat is because
an assumption is made that thread creation will be successful. If we fail
to create the thread, the miss is not considered fatal. (we will try
again in 1 second)

Not critical.
WARNING: drivers/char/esp.o(.text+0x278): Section mismatch in reference from the function show_serial_version() to the variable .init.data:serial_version
The function show_serial_version() references
the variable __initdata serial_version.
This is often because show_serial_version lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of serial_version is wrong.
WARNING: drivers/char/esp.o(.text+0x27d): Section mismatch in reference from the function show_serial_version() to the variable .init.data:serial_name
The function show_serial_version() references
the variable __initdata serial_name.
This is often because show_serial_version lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of serial_name is wrong.

If ramfs mount fails, s_fs_info will be freed twice in ramfs_fill_super()
and ramfs_kill_sb(), leading to kernel oops.
Consolidate and beautify the code.
Make sure s_fs_info and s_root are in known good states.
