ocfs2: Wrap virtual block reads in ocfs2_read_virt_blocks()
The ocfs2_read_dir_block() function really maps an inode's virtual
blocks to physical ones before calling ocfs2_read_blocks(). Let's
extract that to common code, because other places might want to do that.
Other than the block number being virtual, ocfs2_read_virt_blocks()
takes the same arguments as ocfs2_read_blocks(). It converts those
virtual block numbers to physical before calling ocfs2_read_blocks()
directly. If the blocks asked for are discontiguous, this can mean
multiple calls to ocfs2_read_blocks(), but this is mostly hidden from
the caller.
Like ocfs2_read_blocks(), the caller can pass in an existing
buffer_head. This is usually done to pick up some readahead I/O.
ocfs2_read_virt_blocks() checks the buffer_head's block number
against the extent map - it must match.

The dinode, dirblock, extent_block, and xattr_block validators are

fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

audit rules ordering, part 2
Fix the actual rule listing; add per-type lists _not_ used for matching,
with all exit,... sitting on one such list. Simplifies "do something
for all rules" logics, while we are at it...

fixing audit rule ordering mess, part 1
Problem: ordering between the rules on exit chain is currently lost;
all watch and inode rules are listed after everything else _and_
exit,never on one kind doesn't stop exit,always on another from
being matched.
Solution: assign priorities to rules, keep track of the current
highest-priority matching rule and its result (always/never).

Make %p print '(null)' for NULL pointers
Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
just its numeric value.
However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't
even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as
such, rather than oopsing.
This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
"[NULL]" to match glibc).

sanitize ifdefs in binfmt_aout

In the only place where we actually tried to handle arm and i386/m68k in
different ways (START_DATA() in coredump handling), the arm variant
works for all of them (i386 and m68k have u.start_code set to 0).

sched: put back some stack hog changes that were undone in kernel/sched.c
Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines.
Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using
node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and
causes a panic due to stack overflow. This patch undoes those changes
by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'.
In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further
reducing stack usage. (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!)
Also:
Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to
the new 'struct cpumask *' functions.
Optimize memory traffic by allocating each percpu local_cpu_mask on the
same node as the referring cpu.
