oprofile used a double buffer scheme for its cpu event buffer
to avoid races on reading with the old locked ring buffer.

But that is obsolete now with the new ring buffer, so simply
use a single buffer. This greatly simplifies the code and avoids
a lot of sample drops on large runs, especially with call graph.

The recent anon_vma fixes cause many anonymous pages to end up
in the parent process anon_vma, even when the page is exclusively
owned by the current process.

Adding exclusively owned anonymous pages to the top anon_vma
reduces rmap scanning overhead, especially in workloads with
forking servers.

This patch adds a parameter to __page_set_anon_rmap that can
be used to indicate whether or not the added page is exclusively
owned by the current process.

Pages added through page_add_new_anon_rmap are exclusively
owned by the current process, and can be added to the top
anon_vma.

Pages added through page_add_anon_rmap can be either shared
or exclusively owned, so we do the conservative thing and
add it to the oldest anon_vma.

A next step would be to add the exclusive parameter to
page_add_anon_rmap, to be used from functions where we do
know for sure whether a page is exclusively owned.

The timestamps and size of a lower inode involved in a link() call was
being copied to the upper parent inode.  Instead, we should be
copying lower parent inode's timestamps and size to the upper parent
inode.  I discovered this bug using the POSIX test suite at Tuxera.

Since tmpfs has no persistent storage, it pins all its dentries in memory
so they have d_count=1 when other file systems would have d_count=0.
->lookup is only used to create new dentries. If the caller doesn't
instantiate it, it's freed immediately at dput(). ->readdir reads
directly from the dcache and depends on the dentries being hashed.

When an ecryptfs mount is mounted, it associates the lower file and dentry
with the ecryptfs files as they're accessed. When it's umounted and
destroys all the in-memory ecryptfs inodes, it fput's the lower_files and
d_drop's the lower_dentries. Commit 4981e081 added this and a d_delete in
2008 and several months later commit caeeeecf removed the d_delete. I
believe the d_drop() needs to be removed as well.

The d_drop effectively hides any file that has been accessed via ecryptfs
from the underlying tmpfs since it depends on it being hashed for it to
be accessible. I've removed the d_drop on my development node and see no
ill effects with basic testing on both tmpfs and persistent storage.

As a side effect, after ecryptfs d_drops the dentries on tmpfs, tmpfs
BUGs on umount. This is due to the dentries being unhashed.
tmpfs->kill_sb is kill_litter_super which calls d_genocide to drop
the reference pinning the dentry. It skips unhashed and negative dentries,
but shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree doesn't. Since those dentries
still have an elevated d_count, we get a BUG().

This patch removes the d_drop call and fixes both issues.

Create a getattr handler for eCryptfs symlinks that is capable of
reading the lower target and decrypting its path.  Prior to this patch,
a stat's st_size field would represent the strlen of the encrypted path,
while readlink() would return the strlen of the decrypted path.  This
could lead to confusion in some userspace applications, since the two
values should be equal.

The lockdep facility temporarily disables lockdep checking by
incrementing the current->lockdep_recursion variable.  Such
disabling happens in NMIs and in other situations where lockdep
might expect to recurse on itself.

This patch therefore checks current->lockdep_recursion, disabling RCU
lockdep splats when this variable is non-zero.  In addition, this patch
removes the "likely()", as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

The af_packet protocol is used by Perl to do ioctls as reported by
Stephane Riviere:

"Net::RawIP relies on SIOCGIFADDR et SIOCGIFHWADDR to get the IP and MAC
addresses of the network interface."

But in a new network namespace these ioctl fail because it is disabled for
a namespace different from the init_net_ns.

These two lines should not be there as af_inet and af_packet are
namespace aware since a long time now. I suppose we forget to remove these
lines because we sent the af_packet first, before af_inet was supported.

Updates to the VFS layer removed an extra ->sync_fs call into the
filesystem during the sync process (from the quota code).
Unfortunately the sync code was unknowingly relying on this call to
make sure metadata buffers were flushed via a xfs_buftarg_flush()
call to move the tail of the log forward in memory before the final
transactions of the sync process were issued.

As a result, the old code would write a very recent log tail value
to the log by the end of the sync process, and so a subsequent crash
would leave nothing for log recovery to do. Hence in qa test 182,
log recovery only replayed a small handle for inode fsync
transactions in this case.

However, with the removal of the extra ->sync_fs call, the log tail
was now not moved forward with the inode fsync transactions near the
end of the sync procese the first (and only) buftarg flush occurred
after these transactions went to disk. The result is that log
recovery now sees a large number of transactions for metadata that
is already on disk.

This usually isn't a problem, but when the transactions include
inode chunk allocation, the inode create transactions and all
subsequent changes are replayed as we cannt rely on what is on disk
is valid. As a result, if the inode was written and contains
unlogged changes, the unlogged changes are lost, thereby violating
sync semantics.

The fix is to always issue a transaction after the buftarg flush
occurs is the log iѕ not idle or covered. This results in a dummy
transaction being written that contains the up-to-date log tail
value, which will be very recent. Indeed, it will be at least as
recent as the old code would have left on disk, so log recovery
will behave exactly as it used to in this situation.
