Use a percpu counter rather than atomic types for shrinker accounting.
There's no need for ultimate accuracy in the shrinker, so this
should come a little more cheaply. The percpu struct is somewhat
large, but there was a big gap before the cache-aligned
s_es_lru_lock anyway, and it fits nicely in there.

The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases
while using the kernel debug shell. If you try to define a new macro
while the kernel debugger is active it will oops. The debug shell
macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init()
is run, and the kdb_defcmd is restricted to only working at the time
that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you
actually activate the kernel debugger.

Recently some code inspection was done after fixing a problem with

Given that there have been zero bug reports on the command combined
with the fact it will oops the kernel it is clearly not being used.

Added missing Kconfig option KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC which lead to a dead
ifdef block in kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:73-75.
The code using KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC was originally introduced in
commit '5d5314d6795f3c1c0f415348ff8c51f7de042b77' by Jason Wessel.
This patchset ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)")
added platform independent part of kdb to the linux kernel.
The Kernel option however, even though it had the same options and
behaviour on all supported architectures, was part of the x86 and
ia64 patchset of KDB and therefore not pulled into the mainline kernel tree.
I actually took the originally written Kconfig by
Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> (2003-06-20 according to KDB changelog)
and changed it to reflect the correct behaviour,
as the KDUMP patchset is not part of the kernel and the expected
functionality is missing from it.

We can't look up the address of the entry point of the function simply
via that function symbol for all architectures.
For PPC64 ABI, actually there is a function descriptors structure.
A function descriptor is a three doubleword data structure that contains
the following values:
* The first doubleword contains the address of the entry point of
the function.
* The second doubleword contains the TOC base address for
the function.
* The third doubleword contains the environment pointer for
languages such as Pascal and PL/1.
So we should call a wapperred dereference_function_descriptor() to get
the address of the entry point of the function.
Note this is also safe for other architecture after refer to
"include/asm-generic/sections.h" since:
dereference_function_descriptor(p) always is (p) if without arched definition.

When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled
across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table.
When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically
allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in
the kdb_register_repeat() routine.
The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized
to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was
executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the
command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt
to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.

Add a num_write_bios function to struct target.
If an instance of a target sets this, it will be queried before the

controls the number of copies of the write bio that the target will

This provides a convenient way for a target to send the same data to
more than one device. The new cache target uses this in writethrough
mode, to send the data both to the cache and the backing device.

and for messages to return data to userspace.

If the message returns data, the kernel sets the flag

Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied
by userspace. The buffer has two parts. The first part contains
a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size. The second part depends
on the ioctl and has a variable size.
This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable
part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it.
In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent,
this now avoid memory allocation completely.
The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function
copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel.
It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.
When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.
However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.
If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.
In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.
This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

The regression was introduced by the change
c0820cf5 "dm: introduce per_bio_data", where dm started to replace
bioset during table replacement.
For bio-based dm, it is good because clone bios do not exist during the
table replacement.
For request-based dm, however, (not-yet-mapped) clone bios may stay in
request queue and survive during the table replacement.
So freeing the old bioset could cause the oops in bio_put().
Since the size of front_pad may change only with bio-based dm,
it is not necessary to replace bioset for request-based dm.

The problem is that each string gets _separately_ NUL terminated, so
the result is a string containing:
"string1\0string2\0"
rather than:
"string1string2\0"
With our new printk levels, this ends up as - eg, KERN_DEBUG "string":
0x01 0x00 0x07 0x00 "string" 0x00
