jbd2: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd2/checkpoint.c
Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.
If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).
We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.
Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something
changes in future...

ext4: fix oops on corrupted ext4 mount
When mounting an ext4 filesystem with corrupted s_first_data_block, things
can go very wrong and oops.
Because blocks_count in ext4_fill_super is a u64, and we must use do_div,
the calculation of db_count is done differently than on ext4. If
first_data_block is corrupted such that it is larger than ext4_blocks_count,
for example, then the intermediate blocks_count value may go negative,
but sign-extend to a very large value:
and eventually in ext4_check_descriptors, dereferencing
sbi->s_group_desc[desc_block] will result in a NULL pointer dereference.
The simplest test seems to be to sanity check s_first_data_block,
EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP, and ext4_blocks_count values to be sure
their combination won't result in a bad intermediate value for
blocks_count. We could just check for db_count == 0, but

ocfs2: Fix userspace ABI breakage in sysfs
The userspace ABI of ocfs2's internal cluster stack (o2cb) was broken by
commit c60b71787982cefcf9fa09aa281fa8c4c685d557 "kset: convert ocfs2 to
use kset_create". Specifically, the '/sys/o2cb' kset was moved to
'/sys/fs/o2cb'. This breaks all ocfs2 tools and renders the
filesystem unmountable.
This fix moves '/sys/o2cb' back where it belongs.

Introduce new section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst
Today we have the following annotations for functions/data
referencing __init/__exit functions / data:
__init_refok => for init functions
__initdata_refok => for init data
__exit_refok => for exit functions
There is really no difference between the __init and __exit
versions and simplify it and to introduce a shorter annotation
the following new annotations are introduced:
__ref => for functions (code) that
references __*init / __*exit
__refdata => for variables
__refconst => for const variables
Whit this annotation is it more obvious what the annotation
is for and there is no longer the arbitary division
between __init and __exit code.
The mechanishm is the same as before - a special section
is created which is made part of the usual sections
in the linker script.

kbuild: warn about ld added unique sections
If there is a mixture of specifying sections for code in gcc
and assembler then if the assembler code do not add
the "ax" flags the linker will see this as two different sections
and generate unique sections for each. ld does so by adding a dot
and a number.
Teach modpost to warn if a section shows up that match this
pattern - but do this only for non-debug sections.
It will result in warnings like this:
WARNING: vmlinux.o (.sched.text.1): unexpected section name.
The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected.
Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?
Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains
section definitions for use in .S files.
All warnings seen with a defconfig build for:
x86 (32+64bit) and sparc64 has been fixed (via respective maintainers).
arm, powerpc (64 bit), s390 (32 bit), ia64, alpha, sh4 checked - no
warnings seen with a defconfig build.

kbuild: add verbose option to Section mismatch reporting in modpost
If the config option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is not set and
we see a Section mismatch present the following to the user:
modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es).
To see additional details select "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
in the Kernel Hacking menu (CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH).
If the option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is selected
then be verbose in the Section mismatch reporting from mdopost.
Sample outputs:
WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.text+0x7396): Section mismatch in reference from the function discover_ebda() to the variable .init.data:ebda_addr
The function discover_ebda() references
the variable __initdata ebda_addr.
This is often because discover_ebda lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of ebda_addr is wrong.
WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.data+0x74d58): Section mismatch in reference from the variable pci_serial_quirks to the function .devexit.text:pci_plx9050_exit()
The variable pci_serial_quirks references
the function __devexit pci_plx9050_exit()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __exit* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,
WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x630): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_arch_register_cpu to the function .cpuinit.text:arch_register_cpu()

Fix this by removing the __cpuinit annotation of arch_register_cpu or drop the export.

kconfig: tristate choices with mixed tristate and boolean values
Change kconfig behavior so that mixing bool and tristate config
settings in a choice is possible and has the desired effect of offering
just the tristate options individually if the choice gets set to M, and
a normal boolean selection if the choice gets set to Y.
Also fix scripts/kconfig/conf's handling of children of choice values -
there may be more than one immediate child, and all of them need to be
processed.

Use separate sections for __dev/__cpu/__mem code/data
Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG),
__cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG)
allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch
check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual
configuration of for example HOTPLUG.
This has the effect that all users see much more
Section mismatch warnings than before because they
were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled.
The advantage of this is that when building a piece
of code then it is much more likely that the Section
mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be
felt less random of nature.

kbuild: introduce blacklisting in modpost
Change the logic in modpost so we identify all the
bad combinations of sections that refer to other
sections.
Compared to the previous approach we are much less
dependent on knowledge of what additional sections
the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false
positives low.
The implmentation is changed to use a table based
lookup and we now check all combinations in first
pass so we no longer need separate passes for init
and exit sections.
Tested that the same warnings are generated for
an allyesconfig build without CONFIG_HOTPLUG.
