3f07c01441 sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to <linux/sched/signal.h>
We are going to split <linux/sched/signal.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/signal.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

768ae309a9 mm: replace get_user_pages() write/force parameters with gup_flags
This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages() and replaces
them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers
as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs)
within the mm subsystem.

d4edcf0d56 mm/gup: Switch all callers of get_user_pages() to not pass tsk/mm
We will soon modify the vanilla get_user_pages() so it can no
longer be used on mm/tasks other than 'current/current->mm',
which is by far the most common way it is called.  For now,
we allow the old-style calls, but warn when they are used.
(implemented in previous patch)

This patch switches all callers of:

	get_user_pages()
	get_user_pages_unlocked()
	get_user_pages_locked()

to stop passing tsk/mm so they will no longer see the warnings.

f5c4984e06 IB/qib: Change get_user_pages() usage to always NULL vmas
The static helper routine, __qib_get_user_pages(), accepts a vma arg,
but current use always passes NULL.

This has caused some confusion associated with the correct use of this
argument, but since the current use case doesn't require the
flexiblity, the best thing to do is to simplfy the code to always pass
NULL to get_user_pages().

bc3e53f682 mm: distinguish between mlocked and pinned pages
Some kernel components pin user space memory (infiniband and perf) (by
increasing the page count) and account that memory as "mlocked".

The difference between mlocking and pinning is:

A. mlocked pages are marked with PG_mlocked and are exempt from
   swapping. Page migration may move them around though.
   They are kept on a special LRU list.

B. Pinned pages cannot be moved because something needs to
   directly access physical memory. They may not be on any
   LRU list.

I recently saw an mlockalled process where mm->locked_vm became
bigger than the virtual size of the process (!) because some
memory was accounted for twice:

Once when the page was mlocked and once when the Infiniband
layer increased the refcount because it needt to pin the RDMA
memory.

This patch introduces a separate counter for pinned pages and
accounts them seperately.

0014bd990e mm: export __get_user_pages
In most cases, get_user_pages and get_user_pages_fast should be used
to pin user pages in memory.  But sometimes, some special flags except
FOLL_GET, FOLL_WRITE and FOLL_FORCE are needed, for example in
following patch, KVM needs FOLL_HWPOISON.  To support these users,
__get_user_pages is exported directly.

There are some symbol name conflicts in infiniband driver, fixed them too.
