This change adds a new cfg80211 command, NL80211_CMD_SET_BSS, to allow
AP mode BSS parameters to be changed from user space (e.g., hostapd).
The drivers using mac80211 are expected to be modified with separate
changes to use the new BSS info parameter for short slot time in the
bss_info_changed() handler.

While it is interesting to not add last-enum-markers because it allows gcc
to warn us of switch() statements missing a valid state, we really should
be handling memory corruption on a rfkill state with default clauses,
anyway.
So add RFKILL_STATE_MAX and use it where applicable. It makes for safer
code in the long run.

rfkill is not a small, mere detail in wireless support. Once it starts
supporting rfkill and users start counting on that support, a wireless
device is at risk of operating in dangerous conditions should rfkill
support fail to properly activate.
Therefore, add the required __must_check annotations on some key functions
of the rfkill API, for which the wireless drivers absolutely MUST handle
the failure mode safely in order to avoid a potentially dangerous situation
where the wireless transmitter is left enabled when the user don't want it
to.

Add a second set of global states, "rfkill_default_states", to track the
state that will be used when the first rfkill class of a given type is
registered, and also to save "undo" information when rfkill_epo is called.
Add a new exported function, rfkill_set_default(), which can be used by
platform drivers to restore radio state saved by the platform across
reboots or shutdown.
Also, fix rfkill_epo to properly update rfkill_states, but still preserve a
copy of the state so that we can undo the effect of rfkill_epo later if we
want to. Add rfkill_restore_states() to restore rfkill_states from the
copy.

Fixes kernel BUG at lib/radix-tree.c:473.

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.

When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP
process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other
sibling LWP threads didn't receive the setting. The problem was that the
iterator used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each
process, ignoring all other sibling thread.
Introduce a new macro do_each_pid_thread / while_each_pid_thread to walk
each thread of a process. Convert 4 call sites in {set/get}priority and
ioprio_{set/get}.

The exported copy of videodev2.h contains this line:
#define #include <sys/time.h>
This is because for some reason it defines __user for itself -- despite
the fact that we remove all instances of __user when exporting headers.
_All_ pointers in userspace are user pointers. Fix it by removing the
unnecessary '#define __user' from the file.
The new headers ivtv.h and ivtvfb.h would have the same problem... if
whoever put them there had actually remembered to add them to the Kbuild
file while he was at it. Fix those too, and export them as was
presumably intended.
Note that includes of <linux/compiler.h> are also stripped by the header
export process, so those don't need to be conditional.

Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags
the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to
change its own flags in a different way at the same time.
__capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This
patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set
PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried.
This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two:
(1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one
process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and
PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process.
current is the parent.
(2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only,
and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child.
In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether
the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail.
This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV.
Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have
been changed to calls to capable().
Of the places that were using __capable():
(1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a
process. All of these now use has_capability().
(2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see
whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above,
these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now
used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used.
(3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable().
(4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just
after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been
switched and capable() is used instead.
(5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to
receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating.
(6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process,
whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged.
I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28
require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure,
particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU
will have to be observed.
Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current
and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more
easily.
Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID,
EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed
user_struct. These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header
files mitigates against making them inline functions.
linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h.
Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised
versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision
otherwise incurred.

XFS object flushing doesn't quite match existing completion semantics. It
mixed exclusive access with completion. That is, we need to mark an object as
being flushed before flushing it to disk, and then block any other attempt to
flush it until the completion occurs. We do this but adding an extra count to
the completion before we start using them. However, we still need to
determine if there is a completion in progress, and allow no-blocking attempts
fo completions to decrement the count.
To do this we introduce:
int try_wait_for_completion(struct completion *x)
returns a failure status if done == 0, otherwise decrements done
to zero and returns a "started" status. This is provided
to allow counted completions to begin safely while holding
object locks in inverted order.
int completion_done(struct completion *x)
returns 1 if there is no waiter, 0 if there is a waiter
(i.e. a completion in progress).
This replaces the use of semaphores for providing this exclusion
and completion mechanism.

Various cleanup the drivers/firmware/memmap (after review by AKPM):
- fix kdoc to conform to the standard
- move kdoc from header to implementation files
- remove superfluous WARN_ON() after kmalloc()
- WARN_ON(x); if (!x) -> if(!WARN_ON(x))
- improve some comments

Collect the implementations from include/linux/byteorder/swab.h, swabb.h
in swab.h
The functionality provided covers:
u16 swab16(u16 val) - return a byteswapped 16 bit value
u32 swab32(u32 val) - return a byteswapped 32 bit value
u64 swab64(u64 val) - return a byteswapped 64 bit value
u32 swahw32(u32 val) - return a wordswapped 32 bit value
u32 swahb32(u32 val) - return a high/low byteswapped 32 bit value
Similar to above, but return swapped value from a naturally-aligned pointer
u16 swab16p(u16 *p)
u32 swab32p(u32 *p)
u64 swab64p(u64 *p)
u32 swahw32p(u32 *p)
u32 swahb32p(u32 *p)
Similar to above, but swap the value in-place (in-situ)
void swab16s(u16 *p)
void swab32s(u32 *p)
void swab64s(u64 *p)
void swahw32s(u32 *p)
void swahb32s(u32 *p)
Arches can override any of these with an optimized version by defining an
inline in their asm/byteorder.h (example given for swab16()):
u16 __arch_swab16() {}
#define __arch_swab16 __arch_swab16

Short enough reads from /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity return -EINVAL for no
good reason.
This became noticed with NR_CPUS=4096 patches, when length of printed
representation of cpumask becase 1152, but cat(1) continued to read with
1024-byte chunks. bitmap_scnprintf() in good faith fills buffer, returns
1023, check returns -EINVAL.
Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and
doesn't care about offsets, length, filling EOF and all this crap.
For that add seq_bitmap(), and wrappers around it -- seq_cpumask() and
seq_nodemask().
