The remaining uses of tasklist_lock were mostly about synchronizing
against sighand modifications, getting coherent and safe group samples
and also thread/process wide timers list handling.
All of this is already safely synchronizable with the target's
sighand lock. Let's use it on these places instead.
Also update the comments about locking.

Timer deletion doesn't need the tasklist lock.
We need to protect against:
* concurrent access to the lists p->cputime_expires and
p->sighand->cputime_expires
* task reaping that may also delete the timer list entry
* timer firing
We already hold the timer lock which protects us against concurrent
timer firing.
The rest only need the targets sighand to be locked.
So hold it and drop the use of tasklist_lock there.

There is no need for the tasklist_lock just to take a process
wide clock sample.
All we need is to get a coherent sample that doesn't race with
exit() and exec():
* exit() may be concurrently reaping a task and flushing its time
* sighand is unstable under exit() and exec(), and the latter also
result in group leader that can change
To protect against these, locking the target's sighand is enough.

Consolidate the clock sampling common code used for both local
and remote targets.
Note that this introduces a tiny user ABI change: if a
PID is passed to clock_gettime() along the clockid,
we used to forbid a process wide clock sample when that
PID doesn't belong to a group leader. Now after this patch
we allow process wide clock samples if that PID belongs to
the current task, even if the current task is not the
group leader.
But local process wide clock samples are allowed if PID == 0
(current task) even if the current task is not the group leader.
So in the end this should be no big deal as this actually harmonize
the behaviour when the remote sample is actually a local one.

When a timer's target is seen to be buried, for example on calls
to timer_gettime(), the posix cpu timers code behaves a bit
like a garbage collector and releases early the reference to the
task.
Then again, this optimization complicates the code for no much
value: it's up to the user to release the timer and its associated
ressources by calling timer_delete() after it buries the target
tasks.
Remove this to simplify the code.

Now that we removed dead thread posix cpu timers caching,
lets remove the dead process wide version. This caching
is similar to the per thread version but it should be even
more rare:
* If the process id dead, we are not reading its timers
status from a thread belonging to its group since they
are all dead. So this caching only concern remote process
timers reads. Now posix cpu timers using itimers or timer_settime()
can't do remote process timers anyway so it's not even clear if there
is actually a user for this caching.
* Unlike per thread timers caching, this only applies to
zombies targets. Buried targets' process wide timers return
0 values. But then again, timer_gettime() can't read remote
process timers, so if the process is dead, there can't be
any reader left anyway.
Then again this caching seem to complicate the code for
corner cases that are probably not worth it. So lets get
rid of it.
Also remove the sample snapshot on dying process timer
that is now useless, as suggested by Kosaki.

When a task is exiting or has exited, its posix cpu timers
don't tick anymore and won't elapse further. It's too late
for them to expire.
So any further call to timer_gettime() on these timers will
return the same remaining expiry time.
The current code optimize this by caching the remaining delta
and storing it where we use to save the absolute expiration time.
This way, the future calls to timer_gettime() won't need to
compute the difference between the absolute expiration time and
the current time anymore.
Now this optimization doesn't seem to bring much value. Computing
the timer remaining delta is not very costly. Fetching the timer
value OTOH can be costly in two ways:
* CPUCLOCK_SCHED read requires to lock the target's rq. But some
optimizations are on the way to make task_sched_runtime() not holding
the rq lock of a non-running target.
* CPUCLOCK_VIRT/CPUCLOCK_PROF read simply consist in fetching
current->utime/current->stime except when the system uses full
dynticks cputime accounting. The latter requires a per task lock
in order to correctly compute user and system time. But once the
target is dead, this lock shouldn't be contended anyway.
All in one this caching doesn't seem to be justified.
Given that it complicates the code significantly for
few wins, let's remove it on single thread timers.

In commit 7314e613d5ff ("Fix a few incorrectly checked
[io_]remap_pfn_range() calls") the uio driver started more properly
checking the passed-in user mapping arguments against the size of the
actual uio driver data.
That in turn exposed that some driver authors apparently didn't realize
that mmap can only work on a page granularity, and had tried to use it
with smaller mappings, with the new size check catching that out.
So since it's not just the user mmap() arguments that can be confused,
make the uio mmap code also verify that the uio driver has the memory
allocated at page boundaries in order for mmap to work. If the device
memory isn't properly aligned, we return
[ENODEV]
The fildes argument refers to a file whose type is not supported by mmap().
as per the open group documentation on mmap.

A posix CPU timer can be rearmed while it is firing or after it is
notified with a signal. This can happen for example with timers that
were set with a non zero interval in timer_settime().
This rearming can happen in two places:
1) On timer firing time, which happens on the target's tick. If the timer
can't trigger a signal because it is ignored, it reschedules itself
to honour the timer interval.
2) On signal handling from the timer's notification target. This one
can be a different task than the timer's target itself. Once the
signal is notified, the notification target rearms the timer, again
to honour the timer interval.
When a timer is rearmed, we need to notify the full dynticks CPUs
such that they restart their tick in case they are running tasks that
may have a share in elapsing this timer.
Now the 1st case above handles full dynticks CPUs with a call to
posix_cpu_timer_kick_nohz() from the posix cpu timer firing code. But
the second case ignores the fact that some CPUs may run non-idle tasks
with their tick off. As a result, when a timer is resheduled after its signal
notification, the full dynticks CPUs may completely ignore it and not
tick on the timer as expected
This patch fixes this bug by handling both cases in one. All we need
is to move the kick to the rearming common code in posix_cpu_timer_schedule().

After a posix cpu timer is set, a workqueue is scheduled in order to
kick the full dynticks CPUs and let them restart their tick if
necessary in case the task they are running is concerned by the
new timer.
This kick is implemented by way of IPIs, which require interrupts
to be enabled, hence the need for a workqueue to raise them because
the posix cpu timer set path has interrupts disabled.
Now if there is no full dynticks CPU on the system, the workqueue is
still scheduled but it simply won't send any IPI and return immediately.
So lets spare that worqueue when it is not needed.

The pipe code was trying (and failing) to be very careful about freeing
the pipe info only after the last access, with a pattern like:
spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
if (!--pipe->files) {
inode->i_pipe = NULL;
kill = 1;
}
spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
__pipe_unlock(pipe);
if (kill)
free_pipe_info(pipe);
where the final freeing is done last.
HOWEVER. The above is actually broken, because while the freeing is
done at the end, if we have two racing processes releasing the pipe
inode info, the one that *doesn't* free it will decrement the ->files
count, and unlock the inode i_lock, but then still use the
"pipe_inode_info" afterwards when it does the "__pipe_unlock(pipe)".
This is *very* hard to trigger in practice, since the race window is
very small, and adding debug options seems to just hide it by slowing
things down.
Simon originally reported this way back in July as an Oops in
kmem_cache_allocate due to a single bit corruption (due to the final
"spin_unlock(pipe->mutex.wait_lock)" incrementing a field in a different
allocation that had re-used the free'd pipe-info), it's taken this long
to figure out.
Since the 'pipe->files' accesses aren't even protected by the pipe lock
(we very much use the inode lock for that), the simple solution is to
just drop the pipe lock early. And since there were two users of this
pattern, create a helper function for it.
Introduced commit ba5bb147330a ("pipe: take allocation and freeing of
pipe_inode_info out of ->i_mutex").

- After transpormation, IPv4 header total length needs update,
because encrypted payload's length is NOT same as that of plain text.
- After transformation, IPv4 checksum needs re-caculate because of payload
has been changed.
With this patch, armmed pktgen with below cofiguration, Wireshark is able to

On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz after the patch:
Calibrating delay loop... 528.79 BogoMIPS (lpj=2643968)
Also tested on mx6 (CortexA9) and on mx27 (ARM926), which shows the same
BogoMIPS value before and after this patch.

Copying a function with memcpy() and then trying to execute the
result isn't trivially portable to Thumb.
This patch modifies the kexec soft restart code to copy its
assembler trampoline relocate_new_kernel() using fncpy() instead,
so that relocate_new_kernel can be in the same ISA as the rest of
the kernel without problems.

After "ARM: signal: sigreturn_codes should be endian neutral to
work in BE8" commit, thumb only platforms, like armv7m, fails to
compile sigreturn_codes.S. The reason is that for such arch
values '.arm' directive and arm opcodes are not allowed.
Fix conditionally enables arm opcodes only if no CONFIG_CPU_THUMBONLY
defined and it uses .org instructions to keep sigreturn_codes
layout.

Jeff Kirsher says:
====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates
This series contains updates to igb, e1000 and ixgbe.
Akeem provides a igb fix where WOL was being reported as supported on
some ethernet devices which did not have that capability.
Yanjun provides a fix for e1000 which is similar to a previous fix
for e1000e commit bb9e44d0d0f4 ("e1000e: prevent oops when adapter is
being closed and reset simultaneously"), where the same issue was
observed on the older e1000 cards.
Vladimir Davydov provides 2 e1000 fixes. The first fixes a lockdep
warning e1000_down() tries to synchronously cancel e1000 auxiliary
works (reset_task, watchdog_task, phy_info_task and fifo_stall_task)
which take adapter->mutex in their handlers. The second patch is to
fix a possible race condition where reset_task() would be running
after adapter down.
John provides 2 fixes for ixgbe. First turns ixgbe_fwd_ring_down
to static and the second disables NETIF_F_HW_L2FW_DOFFLOAD by default
because it allows upper layer net devices to use queues in the hardware
to directly submit and receive skbs.
Mark Rustad provides a single patch for ixgbe to make
ixgbe_identify_qsfp_module_generic static to resolve compile
warnings.
v2: Drop igb patch "igb: Update queue reinit function to call dev_close
when init of queues fails" from Carolyn, so that the solution can
be re-worked based on feedback from David Miller.

Commit f6f91b0d9fd9 (ARM: allow kuser helpers to be removed from the
vector page) required two pages for the vectors code. Although the
code setting up the initial page tables was updated, the code which
allocates page tables for new processes wasn't, neither was the code
which tears down the mappings. Fix this.
