Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
This patch conditionalises the io{read,write}{8,16,32} defines and the
prototypes for ioport_map/ioport_unmap in asm-arm/io.h on ioread8 not
already having been defined. This is done so that platforms can provide
their own implementation of the iomap API, ixp2000 for example needs
this.

Current IXP4xx debug macros do not work in the small window between
the MMU being enabled and the call to map_io() b/c the standard
peripheral mapping is not properly setup for use with the low-level
debug code. This patch creates a new section-aligned mapping for the
UART specifically for use with the debug macros.

This patch reworks filemap_xip.c with the goal to reduce code duplication
from mm/filemap.c. It applies agains 2.6.12-rc6-mm1. Instead of
implementing the aio functions, this one implements the synchronous
read/write functions only. For readv and writev, the generic fallback is
used. For aio, we rely on the application doing the fallback. Since our
"synchronous" function does memcpy immediately anyway, there is no
performance difference between using the fallbacks or implementing each
operation.

This patch adds version and srcversion files to
/sys/module/${modulename} containing the version and srcversion fields
of the module's modinfo section (if present).
/sys/module/e1000
|-- srcversion
`-- version
This patch differs slightly from the version posted in January, as it
now uses the new kstrdup() call in -mm.
Why put this in sysfs?
a) Tools like DKMS, which deal with changing out individual kernel
modules without replacing the whole kernel, can behave smarter if they
can tell the version of a given module. The autoinstaller feature, for
example, which determines if your system has a "good" version of a
driver (i.e. if the one provided by DKMS has a newer verson than that
provided by the kernel package installed), and to automatically compile
and install a newer version if DKMS has it but your kernel doesn't yet
have that version.
b) Because sysadmins manually, or with tools like DKMS, can switch out
modules on the file system, you can't count on 'modinfo foo.ko', which
looks at /lib/modules/${kernelver}/... actually matching what is loaded
into the kernel already. Hence asking sysfs for this.
c) as the unbind-driver-from-device work takes shape, it will be
possible to rebind a driver that's built-in (no .ko to modinfo for the
version) to a newly loaded module. sysfs will have the
currently-built-in version info, for comparison.
d) tech support scripts can then easily grab the version info for what's
running presently - a question I get often.
There has been renewed interest in this patch on linux-scsi by driver
authors.
As the idea originated from GregKH, I leave his Signed-off-by: intact,
though the implementation is nearly completely new. Compiled and run on
x86 and x86_64.

NFSv4 clients are required to know what state they have on the server so that
they can reclaim it on server reboot. However, it is possible for
pathalogical combinations of server reboots and network partitions to leave a
client in a state where it cannot know whether it has lost its state on the
server.
For this reason, rfc3530 requires that we store some information about clients
to stable storage.
So we maintain a directory /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery with a subdirectory for
each client with active state. We leave open the possibility of including
files underneath each such subdirectory with information about the client, but
for now the subdirectories are empty.
We create a client subdirectory whenever a client makes its first non-reclaim
open_confirm.
We remove a client subdirectory whenever either
a) its lease expires, or
b) the grace period ends without it reclaiming anything.
When handling reclaims, we allow the reclaim if and only if the client doing
the reclaim has a subdirectory.
This patch adds just the code to scan the recovery directory on nfsd startup.

We're returning NFS4_FH_NOEXPIRE_WITH_OPEN | NFS4_FH_VOL_RENAME for the
fh_expire_type attribute. This is incorrect:
1. The spec actually only allows NOEXPIRE_WITH_OPEN when
VOLATILE_ANY is also set.
2. Filehandles for open files can expire, if the file is removed
and there is a reboot.
3. Filehandles are only volatile on rename in the nosubtree check
case.
Unfortunately, there's no way to indicate that we only expire on remove. So
our only choice is FH4_VOLATILE_ANY. Although it's redundant, we also set
FH4_VOL_RENAME in the subtree check case, since subtreecheck does actually
cause problems in practice and it seems possibly useful to give clients some
way to distinguish that case.

This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module
ipmi_poweroff. It also contains changes to support procfs control of the
feature.
The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI
specification. However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports
it. A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad
state. This action is critical to allow remote management of servers.
The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module.
It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above. During
a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware.
If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send
the command as power off.

The attached patch makes the following changes:
(1) There's a new special key type called ".request_key_auth".
This is an authorisation key for when one process requests a key and
another process is started to construct it. This type of key cannot be
created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.
Authorisation keys hold two references:
(a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being
constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,
rendering it of no further use.
(b) The "authorising process". This is either:
(i) the process that called request_key(), or:
(ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an
authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising
process referred to by that authorisation key will also be
referred to by the new authorisation key.
This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests
will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with
the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.
(2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to
/sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.
(3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if
it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the
calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process
specified therein and it will use the specified process's credentials
(fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process's
credentials.
This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging
to the authorising process.
(4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn't have
direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the
keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the
calling process's session keyring, and is searchable using the
credentials of the authorising process.
This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging
to the authorising process.
(5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or
KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather
than the process doing the instantiation.
(6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which
request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is
done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*
constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.
(7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another
process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits
a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.

The attached patch makes it possible to pass a session keyring through to the
process spawned by call_usermodehelper(). This allows patch 3/3 to pass an
authorisation key through to /sbin/request-key, thus permitting better access
controls when doing just-in-time key creation.

The attached patch changes the key implementation in a number of ways:
(1) It removes the spinlock from the key structure.
(2) The key flags are now accessed using atomic bitops instead of
write-locking the key spinlock and using C bitwise operators.
The three instantiation flags are dealt with with the construction
semaphore held during the request_key/instantiate/negate sequence, thus
rendering the spinlock superfluous.
The key flags are also now bit numbers not bit masks.
(3) The key payload is now accessed using RCU. This permits the recursive
keyring search algorithm to be simplified greatly since no locks need be
taken other than the usual RCU preemption disablement. Searching now does
not require any locks or semaphores to be held; merely that the starting
keyring be pinned.
(4) The keyring payload now includes an RCU head so that it can be disposed
of by call_rcu(). This requires that the payload be copied on unlink to
prevent introducing races in copy-down vs search-up.
(5) The user key payload is now a structure with the data following it. It
includes an RCU head like the keyring payload and for the same reason. It
also contains a data length because the data length in the key may be
changed on another CPU whilst an RCU protected read is in progress on the
payload. This would then see the supposed RCU payload and the on-key data
length getting out of sync.
I'm tempted to drop the key's datalen entirely, except that it's used in
conjunction with quota management and so is a little tricky to get rid
of.
(6) Update the keys documentation.
