This patch has the (likely harmless) side effect of moving
.data.init_task inside the _edata.
It also changes the alignment of .data.init_task from 16384 to
THREAD_SIZE, which can in some configurations be larger than 16384. I
believe that this change fixes a potential bug on those
configurations.

The old RW_DATA_SECTION had INIT_TASK_DATA (which was
more-than-PAGE_SIZE-aligned), followed by a bunch of small alignment
stuff, followed by more PAGE_SIZE-aligned stuff, so you wasted memory
in the middle of .data re-aligning back up to PAGE_SIZE.
This patch sorts the sections by alignment requirements, which should
pack them essentially optimally.

Why macros are always wrong:

also, move a couple of struct forward-decls outside `#ifdef

This is because the driver manages interrupts without checking for
netif_running().
Though, there are few other issues with suspend/resume in this driver.
The intention of calling free_irq() in suspend() was to avoid any
possible spurious interrupts (see commit 5b039e681b
"3c59x PM fixes"). But,
- On resume, the driver was requesting IRQ just after pci_set_master(),
but before vortex_up() (which actually resets 3c59x chips).
- Issuing free_irq() on a shared IRQ doesn't guarantee that a buggy
HW won't trigger spurious interrupts in another driver that
requested the same interrupt. So, if we want to protect from
unexpected interrupts, then on suspend we should issue disable_irq(),
not free_irq().

It seems recursion field from "struct ip_tunnel" is not anymore needed.
recursion prevention is done at the upper level (in dev_queue_xmit()),
since we use HARD_TX_LOCK protection for tunnels.
This avoids a cache line ping pong on "struct ip_tunnel" : This structure

Due to man page of setsockopt, if optlen is not valid, kernel should return
-EINVAL. But a simple testcase as following, errno is 0, which means setsockopt
is successful.
addr.s_addr = inet_addr("192.1.2.3");
setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IP, IP_MULTICAST_IF, &addr, 1);

clocksource_resume is called early in the resume process, there is
only one cpu, no processes are running and the interrupts are
disabled. It is therefore possible to resume the clocksources

Multicast joins can succeed even if the IB port is down. This happens
when the SM runs on the same port with the requesting port. However,
IPoIB calls netif_carrier_on() when the join of the broadcast group
succeeds, without caring about the state of the IB port. The result
is an IPoIB interface in RUNNING state but without an active IB port
to support it.
If a bonding interface uses this IPoIB interface as a slave it might
not detect that this slave is almost useless and failover
functionality will be damaged. The fix checks the state of the IB
port in the carrier_task before calling netif_carrier_on().

This is the fourth respin of the patch to convert oplock breaks to
use the slow_work facility.
A customer of ours was testing a backport of one of the earlier
patchsets, and hit a "Busy inodes after umount..." problem. An oplock
break job had raced with a umount, and the superblock got torn down and
its memory reused. When the oplock break job tried to dereference the
inode->i_sb, the kernel oopsed.
This patchset has the oplock break job hold an inode and vfsmount
reference until the oplock break completes. With this, there should be
no need to take a tcon reference (the vfsmount implicitly holds one
already).
Currently, when an oplock break comes in there's a chance that the
oplock break job won't occur if the allocation of the oplock_q_entry
fails. There are also some rather nasty races in the allocation and
handling these structs.
Rather than allocating oplock queue entries when an oplock break comes
in, add a few extra fields to the cifsFileInfo struct. Get rid of the
dedicated cifs_oplock_thread as well and queue the oplock break job to
the slow_work thread pool.
This approach also has the advantage that the oplock break jobs can
potentially run in parallel rather than be serialized like they are
today.

libfs: make simple_read_from_buffer conventional
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/audit-current:
lsm: Use a compressed IPv6 string format in audit events
Audit: send signal info if selinux is disabled
Audit: rearrange audit_context to save 16 bytes per struct
Audit: reorganize struct audit_watch to save 8 bytes
The general one handles NULL, the static obsolescent
(CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA) one in module.c doesn't; Eric's
commit 720eba31 assumed it did, and various frobbings since then kept
that assumption.
All other callers in module.c all protect it with an if; this effectively
does the same as free_init is only goto if we fail percpu_modalloc().

Normally the twisty paths of sysfs will free the attributes, but not if
we fail before we hook it into sysfs (which is the last thing we do in
load_module).
(This sysfs code is a turd, no doubt there are other issues lurking too).

For the longest time now we've been using multiple MODULE_AUTHOR()
statements when a module has more than one author, but the comment here
disagrees.

Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a
separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing
(e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains
newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might
not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of
the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures.
This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation
by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel
parameters.

Also remove all parts of the string table (referenced by the symbol
table) that are not needed for kallsyms use (i.e. which were only
referenced by symbols discarded by the previous patch, or not
referenced at all for whatever reason).

Discard all symbols not interesting for kallsyms use: absolute,
section, and in the common case (!KALLSYMS_ALL) data ones.
