dev_deactivate() can skip rescheduling of a qdisc by qdisc_watchdog()
or other timer calling netif_schedule() after dev_queue_deactivate().
We prevent this checking aliveness before scheduling the timer. Since
during deactivation the root qdisc is available only as qdisc_sleeping
additional accessor qdisc_root_sleeping() is created.

All kernel mappings like ioremap(), etc uses UC_MINUS as the type. /dev/mem
mappings with /dev/mem being opened with O_SYNC however was using UC,
resulting in a conflict with /dev/mem mmap failing. This seems to be
affecting some apps (one being flashrom) which are using O_SYNC and which were
working before.
Switch /dev/mem with O_SYNC also to UC_MINUS.

XIP can call into get_xip_mem concurrently with the same file,offset with
create=1. This usually maps down to get_block, which expects the page
lock to prevent such a situation. This causes ext2 to explode for one
reason or another.
Serialise those calls for the moment. For common usages today, I suspect
get_xip_mem rarely is called to create new blocks. In future as XIP
technologies evolve we might need to look at which operations require
scalability, and rework the locking to suit.

XIP has a race between sparse pages being inserted into page tables, and
sparse pages being zapped when its time to put a non-sparse page in.
What can happen is that a process can be left with a dangling sparse page
in a MAP_SHARED mapping, while the rest of the world sees the non-sparse
version. Ie. data corruption.
Guard these operations with a seqlock, making fault-in-sparse-pages the
slowpath, and try-to-unmap-sparse-pages the fastpath.

There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly
be accounted for.
clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty.
page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and
write protects the pte if it was dirty. It uses page_check_address to
find the pte. That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is
not present. Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then
back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this
should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may
be dirty.
For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte
before setting it to the desired value. There may also be other code in
core mm or in arch which do similar things.
The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and
loss of dirty page accounting accuracy. XIP's __xip_unmap could easily
also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can
lead to data corruption.
Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in
page_check_address.
It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and
try_to_unmap.

Absolute alignment requirements may never be applied to node-relative
offsets. Andreas Herrmann spotted this flaw when a bootmem allocation on
an unaligned node was itself not aligned because the combination of an
unaligned node with an aligned offset into that node is not garuanteed to
be aligned itself.
This patch introduces two helper functions that align a node-relative
index or offset with respect to the node's starting address so that the
absolute PFN or virtual address that results from combining the two
satisfies the requested alignment.
Then all the broken ALIGN()s in alloc_bootmem_core() are replaced by these
helpers.

In case the binfmt_misc binary handler is registered *before* the e.g.
script one (when for example being compiled as a module) the following
situation may occur:
1. user launches a script, whose interpreter is a misc binary;
2. the load_misc_binary sets the misc_bang and returns -ENOEVEC,
since the binary is a script;
3. the load_script_binary loads one and calls for search_binary_hander
to run the interpreter;
4. the load_misc_binary is called again, but refuses to load the
binary due to misc_bang bit set.
The fix is to move the misc_bang setting lower - prior to the actual
call to the search_binary_handler.

For headers which are exported, we should probably choose between
asm/arch-v10 and asm/arch-v32 by something that GCC defines -- we can't
rely on a generated symlink. And we certainly can't export an arch/
directory which doesn't even exist.
And the only thing that we seem to include from the arch/ directory is
