Replace the bh safe variant with the hard irq safe variant.
We need a hard irq safe variant to deal with netpoll transmitting
packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
the places using the bh safe variant.
Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.

Instead of (or in addition to) kernel module signing, being able to reason
about the origin of a kernel module would be valuable in situations
where an OS already trusts a specific file system, file, etc, due to
things like security labels or an existing root of trust to a partition
through things like dm-verity.
This introduces a new syscall (currently only on x86), similar to
init_module, that has only two arguments. The first argument is used as
a file descriptor to the module and the second argument is a pointer to
the NULL terminated string of module arguments.

* This principally was identified when the R recovery started
issuing reboot commands such as "userrequested,recovery" or
"userrequested,fastboot". While it's not 100% clear that
userrequested is supposed to be followed by a reboot *source* as
opposed to a target, it illuminated the fact that our kernel gets
stuck rebooting to the same target/reason when an unknown command
is issued.
* It seems much more logical to normal people that the kernel go ahead
and reboot to the "normal" (read: Android system) target when the
one passed to the kernel isn't known, as opposed to getting stuck
in something like recovery forever.

We already use them for openat() and friends, but fstat() also wants to
be able to use O_PATH file descriptors. This should make it more
directly comparable to the O_SEARCH of Solaris.
Note that you could already do the same thing with "fstatat()" and an
empty path, but just doing "fstat()" directly is simpler and faster, so
there is no reason not to just allow it directly.
See also commit 332a2e1244bd, which did the same thing for fchdir, for
the same reasons.

Update the set of SELinux netlink socket class definitions to match
the set of netlink protocols implemented by the kernel. The
ip_queue implementation for the NETLINK_FIREWALL and NETLINK_IP6_FW protocols
was removed in d16cf20e2f2f13411eece7f7fb72c17d141c4a84, so we can remove
the corresponding class definitions as this is dead code. Add new
classes for NETLINK_ISCSI, NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP, NETLINK_CONNECTOR,
NETLINK_NETFILTER, NETLINK_GENERIC, NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT, NETLINK_RDMA,
and NETLINK_CRYPTO so that we can distinguish among sockets created
for each of these protocols. This change does not define the finer-grained
nlsmsg_read/write permissions or map specific nlmsg_type values to those
permissions in the SELinux nlmsgtab; if finer-grained control of these
sockets is desired/required, that can be added as a follow-on change.
We do not define a SELinux class for NETLINK_ECRYPTFS as the implementation
was removed in 624ae52845.

If we drop the lead configuration and interface descriptors, we're left
with an output terminal descriptor describing a generic display:
/* Output terminal descriptor */
buf[0] 09
buf[1] 24
buf[2] 03 /* UVC_VC_OUTPUT_TERMINAL */
buf[3] 00 /* ID */
buf[4] 01 /* type == 0x0301 (UVC_OTT_DISPLAY) */
buf[5] 03
buf[6] 7c
buf[7] 00 /* source ID refers to self! */
buf[8] 33
The problem with this descriptor is that it is self-referential: the
source ID of 0 matches itself! This causes the 'struct uvc_entity'
representing the display to be added to its chain list twice during
'uvc_scan_chain()': once via 'uvc_scan_chain_entity()' when it is
processed directly from the 'dev->entities' list and then again
immediately afterwards when trying to follow the source ID in
'uvc_scan_chain_forward()'
Add a check before adding an entity to a chain list to ensure that the
entity is not already part of a chain.

Add a new field, VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_AVAIL, to virtio_balloon memory
statistics protocol, corresponding to 'Available' in /proc/meminfo.
It indicates to the hypervisor how big the balloon can be inflated
without pushing the guest system to swap. This metric would be very
useful in VM orchestration software to improve memory management of
different VMs under overcommit.
This patch (of 2):
Factor out calculation of the available memory counter into a separate
exportable function, in order to be able to use it in other parts of the
kernel.
In particular, it appears a relevant metric to report to the hypervisor
via virtio-balloon statistics interface (in a followup patch).

Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2)
sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields. With the advent of
tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem
was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for
sysinfo.sharedram. Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got
re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still
reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the
"shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces.
This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used
by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in
order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of
that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the
interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our
current API documentation states.

Many load balancing and workload placing programs check /proc/meminfo to
estimate how much free memory is available. They generally do this by
adding up "free" and "cached", which was fine ten years ago, but is
pretty much guaranteed to be wrong today.
It is wrong because Cached includes memory that is not freeable as page
cache, for example shared memory segments, tmpfs, and ramfs, and it does
not include reclaimable slab memory, which can take up a large fraction
of system memory on mostly idle systems with lots of files.
Currently, the amount of memory that is available for a new workload,
without pushing the system into swap, can be estimated from MemFree,
Active(file), Inactive(file), and SReclaimable, as well as the "low"
watermarks from /proc/zoneinfo.
However, this may change in the future, and user space really should not
be expected to know kernel internals to come up with an estimate for the
amount of free memory.
It is more convenient to provide such an estimate in /proc/meminfo. If
things change in the future, we only have to change it in one place.

There are places in kernel like the lowmemorykiller which
invokes show_mem_call_notifiers from an atomic context.
So move from a blocking notifier to atomic. At present
the notifier callbacks does not call sleeping functions,
but it should be made sure, it does not happen in future also.

At present any vmpressure value is scaled up if the pages are
reclaimed through direct reclaim. This can result in false
vmpressure values. Consider a case where a device is booted up
and most of the memory is occuppied by file pages. kswapd will
make sure that high watermark is maintained. Now when a sudden
huge allocation request comes in, the system will definitely
have to get into direct reclaims. The vmpressures can be very low,
but because of allocstall accounting logic even these low values
will be scaled to values nearing 100. This can resulting in
unnecessary LMK kills for example.

The existing calculation of vmpressure takes into account only
the ratio of reclaimed to scanned pages, but not the time spent
or the difficulty in reclaiming those pages. For e.g. when there
are quite a number of file pages in the system, an allocation
request can be satisfied by reclaiming the file pages alone. If
such a reclaim is succesful, the vmpressure value will remain low
irrespective of the time spent by the reclaim code to free up the
file pages. With a feature like lowmemorykiller, killing a task
can be faster than reclaiming the file pages alone. So if the
vmpressure values reflect the reclaim difficulty level, clients
can make a decision based on that, for e.g. to kill a task early.
This patch monitors the number of pages scanned in the direct
reclaim path and scales the vmpressure level according to that.
