Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147
For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the
wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request. The new cifs routine
to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike
the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use
SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older
cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures.
This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers
of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures.
Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in
the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change
to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled
will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory).
Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not
required at the moment but after more testing we will enable
that as well).
Thanks to James Slepicka and Sam Flory for initial investigation.

Commit 70674f95c0a2ea694d5c39f4e514f538a09be36f:
[PATCH] Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack
resulted in the poll stack being 4-byte aligned on 64-bit architectures,
causing misaligned accesses to elements in the array.
This patch fixes it by declaring the stack in terms of 'long' instead
of 'char'.
Force alignment of poll and select stacks to long to avoid unaligned
access on 64 bit architectures.

sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the
multi-thread case.
Thread 1 Thread 2
sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX)
sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN)
If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for
list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will
end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock.
Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely
to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock.
This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the
lockd handling of flock.

This seems to be a result of clearing DCACHE_INOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED in

Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT
fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead.
Reasons:
- It's more flexible. Things which would require two or three syscalls with
fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.
- Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.
The patch wires up the syscall for x86.
The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can
move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.
Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.
A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.
The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can
say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the ->fsync call for
NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common."
Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if
the queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set
wbc->nonblocking. But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation
details down to that level.
Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing.
Same with fsync() and fdatasync()).
Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents
outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to
succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility. Perhaps it should make such
requests fail...

This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).
From the splice.c comments:
"splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.
The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.
Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
bugs.

This patch borrows a clever Hugh's 'struct anon_vma' trick.
Without tasklist_lock held we can't trust task->sighand until we locked it
and re-checked that it is still the same.
But this means we don't need to defer 'kmem_cache_free(sighand)'. We can
return the memory to slab immediately, all we need is to be sure that
sighand->siglock can't dissapear inside rcu protected section.
To do so we need to initialize ->siglock inside ctor function,
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU does the rest.

switch_exec_pids is only called from de_thread by way of exec, and it is
only called when we are exec'ing from a non thread group leader.
Currently switch_exec_pids gives the leader the pid of the thread and
unhashes and rehashes all of the process groups. The leader is already in
the EXIT_DEAD state so no one cares about it's pids. The only concern for
the leader is that __unhash_process called from release_task will function
correctly. If we don't touch the leader at all we know that
__unhash_process will work fine so there is no need to touch the leader.
For the task becomming the thread group leader, we just need to give it the
pid of the old thread group leader, add it to the task list, and attach it
to the session and the process group of the thread group.
Currently de_thread is also adding the task to the task list which is just
silly.
Currently the only leader of __detach_pid besides detach_pid is
switch_exec_pids because of the ugly extra work that was being
performed.
So this patch removes switch_exec_pids because it is doing too much, it is
creating an unnecessary special case in pid.c, duing work duplicated in
de_thread, and generally obscuring what it is going on.
The necessary work is added to de_thread, and it seems to be a little
clearer there what is going on.

I think it is enough to take tasklist_lock for reading while changing
child_reaper:
Reparenting needs write_lock(tasklist_lock)
Only one thread in a thread group can do exec()
sighand->siglock garantees that get_signal_to_deliver()
will not see a stale value of child_reaper.
This means that we can change child_reaper earlier, without calling
zap_other_threads() twice.
"child_reaper = current" is a NOOP when init does exec from main thread, we
don't care.

After looking at the problem of init calling exec some more I figured out
an easy way to make the code work.
The actual symptom without out this patch is that all threads will die
except pid == 1, and the thread calling exec. The thread calling exec will
wait forever for pid == 1 to die.
Since pid == 1 does not install a handler for SIGKILL it will never die.
This modifies the tests for init from current->pid == 1 to the equivalent
current == child_reaper. And then it causes exec in the ugly case to
modify child_reaper.
The only weird symptom is that you wind up with an init process that
doesn't have the oldest start time on the box.

Optimize select and poll by a using stack space for small fd sets
This brings back an old optimization from Linux 2.0. Using the stack is
faster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a
single pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -> ~3500)
It also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will
usually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10
daemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory.
I did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is
a reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I
only did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation.
The cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at
832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack.
These 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select
bitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used
by the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won't
work out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early -
especially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of
processes who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok.
[TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll]
I suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more
complicated. One way would be to cache the select/poll context over
multiple system calls because typically the input values should be similar.
Problem is when to flush the file descriptors out though.
