46d9be3e5e Merge branch 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on workqueue side this time.  The changes achieve
  the followings.

   - WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
     updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
     This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
     neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.

   - The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
     used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
     Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
     affinity.  It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
     future.  The attributes can be specified either by calling
     apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
     the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.

     The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
     shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes.  When
     attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
     worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
     items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
     alone.

     This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
     want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues.  The writeback pool
     is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
     are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.

   - WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
     to make it NUMA-aware.  Because there's no association between work
     item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
     this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
     bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
     to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.

     After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
     NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
     the same node.  This is turned on by default but can be disabled
     system-wide or for individual workqueues.

     Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
     different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
     per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
     be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
     idle cycles.

  While the new features required a lot of changes including
  restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
  The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
  new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
  different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
  execution or flush paths.

  As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
  relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
  basic correctness of work item execution and handling.  If something
  is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
  with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
  changed or during CPU hotplug.

  While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
  more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
  combinations of attributes.  Assuming everything else is the same,
  NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
  CPUs.

  There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
  workqueue tree.

   - block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
     pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
     exposed.  This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
     NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.

   - The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
     between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
     they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
     backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted.  This is
     resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
     printed when the task is dumped.  As this change involves unifying
     implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
     being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."

9e8529afc4 Tracing updates for Linux 3.10
Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
 changes with this pull request.
 
 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
 
 This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
 I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally
 had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple
 instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different
 buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise
 of a high frequency event.
 
 Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
 (ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
 be written to the main buffer.
 
 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
 
 The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
 function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
 stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
 buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
 an event to be traced when a function is hit.
 
 3) A perf clock has been added.
 
 A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
 ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make
 it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis.

This is primarily useful when there's a driver that doesn't claim clocks
properly, but the bootloader leaves them on. It's not expected to be used
in normal cases, but for bringup and debug it's very useful to have the
option to not gate unclaimed clocks that are still on.

 "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support

  in many places.)

  After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
  but of course it is now very late in the cycle.  However, because it
  changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
  would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken

c729de8fce x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically
Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8
without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump.
And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make
kdump work.

We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if
available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user
does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y.  This causes regression
if iommu is not enabled.  Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in
first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel.

Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that.

For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could
specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram.

-v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad.

d55262c4d1 workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity
Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware.  Let's add some control knobs
and update sysfs interface accordingly.

* Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
  globally.

* Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
  node:pool_id pairs.  This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
  hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.

* Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
  individual workqueues.  This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
  is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes.  It only
  affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.

After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.
Removed.

c0f4dfd4f9 rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks
Because RCU callbacks are now associated with the number of the grace
period that they must wait for, CPUs can now take advance callbacks
corresponding to grace periods that ended while a given CPU was in
dyntick-idle mode.  This eliminates the need to try forcing the RCU
state machine while entering idle, thus reducing the CPU intensiveness
of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, which should increase its energy efficiency.

a488985851 rcu: Distinguish "rcuo" kthreads by RCU flavor
Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by
the CPU number, for example, "rcuo".  This is problematic given that
there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU
kthread with exactly the same name.  This commit therefore introduces
a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh,
'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched.  This abbreviation is used
to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have
"rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0".

55034cd6e6 tracing: Add alloc_snapshot kernel command line parameter
If debugging the kernel, and the developer wants to use
tracing_snapshot() in places where tracing_snapshot_alloc() may
be difficult (or more likely, the developer is lazy and doesn't
want to bother with tracing_snapshot_alloc() at all), then adding

  alloc_snapshot

to the kernel command line parameter will tell ftrace to allocate
the snapshot buffer (if configured) when it allocates the main
tracing buffer.

I also noticed that ring_buffer_expanded and tracing_selftest_disabled
had inconsistent use of boolean "true" and "false" with "0" and "1".
I cleaned that up too.

8fd5e7a2d9 ImgTec Meta architecture changes for v3.9-rc1
This adds core architecture support for Imagination's Meta processor
 cores, followed by some later miscellaneous arch/metag cleanups and
 fixes which I kept separate to ease review:
 
  - Support for basic Meta 1 (ATP) and Meta 2 (HTP) core architecture
  - A few fixes all over, particularly for symbol prefixes
  - A few privilege protection fixes
  - Several cleanups (setup.c includes, split out a lot of metag_ksyms.c)
  - Fix some missing exports
  - Convert hugetlb to use vm_unmapped_area()
  - Copy device tree to non-init memory
  - Provide dma_get_sgtable()

20e6926dcb x86, ACPI, mm: Revert movablemem_map support

Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
commit e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
is ready")

It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things

1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
	nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
	memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
   can not be just removed.  Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
   and make fall back path working.

2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
   a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
   b.  for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
	     set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
     still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
     it should be moved before that....
   c.  it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
       early before override from INITRD is settled.

3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
   but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
   pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
   be routed via tip/x86/mm.

4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
  a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
  b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
  c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
	anymore.
  d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
  e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
     not good.

If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
node.

We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
be fixed.

So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:

 f7210e6c4a ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
    protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")

 01a178a94e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
    SRAT")

 27168d38fa ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
    the end of node")

 e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is
    ready")

 fb06bc8e5f ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map")

 42f47e27e7 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")

 6981ec3114 ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
    movable limit for nodes")

 34b71f1e04 ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")

 4d59a75125 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")

Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0.  Also
need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

01a178a94e acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT
We now provide an option for users who don't want to specify physical
memory address in kernel commandline.

         /*
          * For movablemem_map=acpi:
          *
          * SRAT:                |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ......
          * node id:                0       1         1           2
          * hotpluggable:           n       y         y           n
          * movablemem_map:              |_____| |_________|
          *
          * Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory
          * on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time.
          */

So user just specify movablemem_map=acpi, and the kernel will use
hotpluggable info in SRAT to determine which memory ranges should be set
as ZONE_MOVABLE.

If all the memory ranges in SRAT is hotpluggable, then no memory can be
used by kernel.  But before parsing SRAT, memblock has already reserve
some memory ranges for other purposes, such as for kernel image, and so
on.  We cannot prevent kernel from using these memory.  So we need to
exclude these ranges even if these memory is hotpluggable.

Furthermore, there could be several memory ranges in the single node
which the kernel resides in.  We may skip one range that have memory
reserved by memblock, but if the rest of memory is too small, then the
kernel will fail to boot.  So, make the whole node which the kernel
resides in un-hotpluggable.  Then the kernel has enough memory to use.

NOTE: Using this way will cause NUMA performance down because the
      whole node will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE, and kernel cannot use memory
      on it.  If users don't want to lose NUMA performance, just don't use
      it.

Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
  developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
  one would like.

  The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
  by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
  create initial page tables.  In particular, rather than estimating how
  much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
  memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
  now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
  a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.

  This has several advantages:

  1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
     very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
     early in the kernel startup).

  2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
     from above the 4 GB limit.  This allows kdump to work on very large
     systems.

  3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
     equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
     by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.

  The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.

  Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
  were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
  __phys_addr()/__pa()."

27be457000 x86 idle: remove 32-bit-only "no-hlt" parameter, hlt_works_ok flag
Remove 32-bit x86 a cmdline param "no-hlt",
and the cpuinfo_x86.hlt_works_ok that it sets.

If a user wants to avoid HLT, then "idle=poll"
is much more useful, as it avoids invocation of HLT
in idle, while "no-hlt" failed to do so.

Indeed, hlt_works_ok was consulted in only 3 places.

First, in /proc/cpuinfo where "hlt_bug yes"
would be printed if and only if the user booted
the system with "no-hlt" -- as there was no other code
to set that flag.

Second, check_hlt() would not invoke halt() if "no-hlt"
were on the cmdline.

Third, it was consulted in stop_this_cpu(), which is invoked
by native_machine_halt()/reboot_interrupt()/smp_stop_nmi_callback() --
all cases where the machine is being shutdown/reset.
The flag was not consulted in the more frequently invoked
play_dead()/hlt_play_dead() used in processor offline and suspend.

Since Linux-3.0 there has been a run-time notice upon "no-hlt" invocations
indicating that it would be removed in 2012.

69fb3676df x86 idle: remove mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param
mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT, starting on Pentium-4 HT-enabled processors.

But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI processor_idle and intel_idle use only mwait_idle_with_hints(),
and no longer use mwait_idle().

Here we simplify the x86 native idle code by removing mwait_idle(),
and the "idle=mwait" bootparam used to invoke it.

Since Linux 3.0 there has been a boot-time warning when "idle=mwait"
was invoked saying it would be removed in 2012.  This removal
was also noted in the (now removed:-) feature-removal-schedule.txt.

After this change, kernels configured with
(CONFIG_ACPI=n && CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that supports MWAIT will simply use HLT.  If MWAIT is desired
on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above
can be enabled.

0212f91596 x86: Add Crash kernel low reservation
During kdump kernel's booting stage, it need to find low ram for
swiotlb buffer when system does not support intel iommu/dmar remapping.

kexed-tools is appending memmap=exactmap and range from /proc/iomem
with "Crash kernel", and that range is above 4G for 64bit after boot
protocol 2.12.

We need to add another range in /proc/iomem like "Crash kernel low",
so kexec-tools could find that info and append to kdump kernel
command line.

Try to reserve some under 4G if the normal "Crash kernel" is above 4G.

User could specify the size with crashkernel_low=XX[KMG].

-v2: fix warning that is found by Fengguang's test robot.
-v3: move out get_mem_size change to another patch, to solve compiling
     warning that is found by Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>
-v4: user must specify crashkernel_low if system does not support
     intel or amd iommu.

1b0048a44c rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param
The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature
for two reasons.  (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented
name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param,
it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf"
and the prefix isn't documented.

However, there are several reasons why we might not want to
simply fix the typo and add the prefix:

1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make
a change to rcutree.nocb_poll

2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the
rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix)

3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired,
since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed
via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of
module_param_named() could clarify that.)

4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll
data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything,
as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without
it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so.

In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an
early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if
we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it.

Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it
will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
 "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
  (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
  autonuma which is in aa.git.

  In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
  its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
  scheduling.  In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
  desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
  scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.

  The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are

    mel:    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
    mingo:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
    tglx:   https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
    srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397

  The results are a mixed bag.  In my own tests, balancenuma does
  reasonably well.  It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
  mainline.  On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
  incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
  but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts.  Thomas'
  results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
  numacore or autonuma.  Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
  large machine with imbalanced node sizes.

  My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
  dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
  We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
  migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
  There are also cases where it regresses.  Of interest is that for
  specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
  warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
  the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports.  Recently I
  reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
  NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
  this problem is.  Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
  handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case.  It's possible
  numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.

  These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
  with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
  not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

Pull x86 BSP hotplug changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree enables CPU#0 (the boot processor) to be onlined/offlined on
  x86, just like any other CPU.  Enabled on Intel CPUs for now.

  Allowing this required the identification and fixing of latent CPU#0
  assumptions (such as CPU#0 initializations, etc.) in the x86
  architecture code, plus the identification of barriers to
  BSP-offlining, such as active PIC interrupts which can only be
  serviced on the BSP.

  It's behind a default-off option, and there's a debug option that
  allows the automatic testing of this feature.

  The motivation of this feature is to allow and prepare for true
  CPU-hotplug hardware support: recent changes to MCE support enable us
  to detect a deteriorating but not yet hard-failing L1/L2 cache on a
  CPU that could be soft-unplugged - or a failing L3 cache on a
  multi-socket system.

  Note that true hardware hot-plug is not yet fully enabled by this,
  because that requires a special platform wakeup sequence to be sent to
  the freshly powered up CPU#0.  Future patches for this are planned,
  once such a platform exists.  Chicken and egg"

1a687c2e9a mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing
This patch adds Kconfig options and kernel parameters to allow the
enabling and disabling of automatic NUMA balancing. The existance
of such a switch was and is very important when debugging problems
related to transparent hugepages and we should have the same for
automatic NUMA placement.

3fbfbf7a3b rcu: Add callback-free CPUs
RCU callback execution can add significant OS jitter and also can
degrade both scheduling latency and, in asymmetric multiprocessors,
energy efficiency.  This commit therefore adds the ability for selected
CPUs ("rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter) to have their callbacks offloaded
to kthreads.  If the "rcu_nocb_poll" boot parameter is also specified,
these kthreads will do polling, removing the need for the offloaded
CPUs to do wakeups.  At least one CPU must be doing normal callback
processing: currently CPU 0 cannot be selected as a no-CBs CPU.
In addition, attempts to offline the last normal-CBs CPU will fail.

This feature was inspired by Jim Houston's and Joe Korty's JRCU, and
this commit includes fixes to problems located by Fengguang Wu's
kbuild test robot.

f78cff48c3 doc: Add x86 CPU0 online/offline feature
If CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is turned on, CPU0 is hotpluggable. Otherwise,
by default CPU0 is not hotpluggable and kernel parameter cpu0_hotplug enables
CPU0 online/offline feature.

The documentations point out two known CPU0 dependencies. First, resume from
hibernate or suspend always starts from CPU0. So hibernate and suspend are
prevented if CPU0 is offline. Another dependency is PIC interrupts always go
to CPU0.

It's said that some machines may depend on CPU0 to poweroff/reboot. But I
haven't seen such dependency on a few tested machines.

Please let me know if you see any CPU0 dependencies on your machine.

7bcfaf54f5 tracing: Add trace_options kernel command line parameter
Add trace_options to the kernel command line parameter to be able to
set options at early boot. For example, to enable stack dumps of
events, add the following:

  trace_options=stacktrace

This along with the trace_event option, you can get not only
traces of the events but also the stack dumps with them.

279f146143 x86: apic: Use tsc deadline for oneshot when available
If the TSC deadline mode is supported, LAPIC timer one-shot mode can be
implemented using IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR. An interrupt will be generated
when the TSC value equals or exceeds the value in the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE
MSR.

This enables us to skip the APIC calibration during boot. Also, in
xapic mode, this enables us to skip the uncached apic access to re-arm
the APIC timer.

As this timer ticks at the high frequency TSC rate, we use the
TSC_DIVISOR (32) to work with the 32-bit restrictions in the
clockevent API's to avoid 64-bit divides etc (frequency is u32 and
"unsigned long" in the set_next_event(), max_delta limits the next
event to 32-bit for 32-bit kernel).

106a4ee258 module: signature checking hook
We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module
(which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway).  There's both a config
option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with
unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key.

If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is
loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the
key.
