Al Viro cd28e28d80 switch drivers/char/mem.c to ->read_iter/->write_iter
Note that _these_ guys have ->read() and ->write() left in place - they are
eqiuvalent to what we'd get if we replaced those with NULL, but we are
talking about hot paths here.

Al Viro 5d5d568975 make new_sync_{read,write}() static
All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or
called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL
{read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases.

Christoph Hellwig b4caecd480 fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support
Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

Thierry Reding 4707a341b4 /dev/mem: Use more consistent data types
The xlate_dev_{kmem,mem}_ptr() functions take either a physical address
or a kernel virtual address, so data types should be phys_addr_t and
void *. They both return a kernel virtual address which is only ever
used in calls to copy_{from,to}_user(), so make variables that store it
void * rather than char * for consistency.

Also only define a weak unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function if architectures
haven't overridden them in the asm/io.h header file.

Petr Tesarik 08d2d00b29 /dev/mem: handle out-of-bounds read/write
The loff_t type may be wider than phys_addr_t (e.g. on 32-bit systems).
Consequently, the file offset may be truncated in the assignment.
Currently, /dev/mem wraps around, which may cause applications to read
or write incorrect regions of memory by accident.

Let's follow POSIX file semantics here and return 0 when reading from
and -EFBIG when writing to an offset that cannot be represented by a
phys_addr_t.

Note that the conditional is optimized out by the compiler if loff_t
has the same size as phys_addr_t.

Zhang Yanfei a11edb59a0 /dev/oldmem: Remove the interface
/dev/oldmem provides the interface for us to access the "old memory" in
the dump-capture kernel.  Unfortunately, no one actually uses this
interface.

And this interface could actually cause some real problems if used on ia64
where the cached/uncached accesses are mixed.  See the discussion from the
link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/386.

So Eric suggested that we should remove /dev/oldmem as an unused piece of
code.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 314e51b985 mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter
A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

userspace log consumers to reliably reconnect and reconstruct their

returns *all* buffered records. If only future messages should be
read, SEEK_END can be used. In case records get overwritten while
/dev/kmsg is held open, or records get faster overwritten than they
are read, the next read() will return -EPIPE and the current reading
position gets updated to the next available record. The passed
sequence numbers allow the log consumer to calculate the amount of
lost messages.

Kay Sievers 7ff9554bb5 printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer
- Record-based stream instead of the traditional byte stream
  buffer. All records carry a 64 bit timestamp, the syslog facility
  and priority in the record header.

- Records consume almost the same amount, sometimes less memory than
  the traditional byte stream buffer (if printk_time is enabled). The record
  header is 16 bytes long, plus some padding bytes at the end if needed.
  The byte-stream buffer needed 3 chars for the syslog prefix, 15 char for
  the timestamp and a newline.

- Buffer management is based on message sequence numbers. When records
  need to be discarded, the reading heads move on to the next full
  record. Unlike the byte-stream buffer, no old logged lines get
  truncated or partly overwritten by new ones. Sequence numbers also
  allow consumers of the log stream to get notified if any message in
  the stream they are about to read gets discarded during the time
  of reading.

- Better buffered IO support for KERN_CONT continuation lines, when printk()
  is called multiple times for a single line. The use of KERN_CONT is now
  mandatory to use continuation; a few places in the kernel need trivial fixes
  here. The buffering could possibly be extended to per-cpu variables to allow
  better thread-safety for multiple printk() invocations for a single line.

- Full-featured syslog facility value support. Different facilities
  can tag their messages. All userspace-injected messages enforce a
  facility value > 0 now, to be able to reliably distinguish them from
  the kernel-generated messages. Independent subsystems like a
  baseband processor running its own firmware, or a kernel-related
  userspace process can use their own unique facility values. Multiple
  independent log streams can co-exist that way in the same
  buffer. All share the same global sequence number counter to ensure
  proper ordering (and interleaving) and to allow the consumers of the
  log to reliably correlate the events from different facilities.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 4a3956c790 vfs: introduce FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET for allowing negative f_pos
Now, rw_verify_area() checsk f_pos is negative or not.  And if negative,
returns -EINVAL.

But, some special files as /dev/(k)mem and /proc/<pid>/mem etc..  has
negative offsets.  And we can't do any access via read/write to the
file(device).

So introduce FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET to allow negative file offsets.

Arnd Bergmann 6038f373a3 llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

David Howells 31d1d48e19 Fix init ordering of /dev/console vs callers of modprobe
Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that
invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open
/dev/console, presumably to write an error message to.

The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet
initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke
modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a
module.

This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel
log:

	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
	request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1

This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find
the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise).
The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because
'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically.

Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().

I hit this when we had a bug in IDR for a few days.  Basically sysfs would
