86313c488a usermodehelper: Tidy up waiting
Rather than using a tri-state integer for the wait flag in
call_usermodehelper_exec, define a proper enum, and use that.  I've
preserved the integer values so that any callers I've missed should
still work OK.

10a0a8d4e3 Add common orderly_poweroff()
Various pieces of code around the kernel want to be able to trigger an
orderly poweroff.  This pulls them together into a single
implementation.

By default the poweroff command is /sbin/poweroff, but it can be set
via sysctl: kernel/poweroff_cmd.  This is split at whitespace, so it
can include command-line arguments.

This patch replaces four other instances of invoking either "poweroff"
or "shutdown -h now": two sbus drivers, and acpi thermal
management.

sparc64 has its own "powerd"; still need to determine whether it should
be replaced by orderly_poweroff().

0ab4dc9227 usermodehelper: split setup from execution
Rather than having hundreds of variations of call_usermodehelper for
various pieces of usermode state which could be set up, split the
info allocation and initialization from the actual process execution.

This means the general pattern becomes:
 info = call_usermodehelper_setup(path, argv, envp); /* basic state */
 call_usermodehelper_<SET EXTRA STATE>(info, stuff...);	/* extra state */
 call_usermodehelper_exec(info, wait);	/* run process and free info */

This patch introduces wrappers for all the existing calling styles for
call_usermodehelper_*, but folds their implementations into one.

d84d1cc764 add argv_split()
argv_split() is a helper function which takes a string, splits it at
whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector.  This is
deliberately simple - it does no quote processing of any kind.

[ Seems to me that this is something which is already being done in
  the kernel, but I couldn't find any other implementations, either to
  steal or replace.  Keep an eye out. ]

8b4a40809e zs: move to the serial subsystem
This is a reimplementation of the zs driver for the serial subsystem.  Any
resemblance to the old driver is purely coincidential.  ;-) I do hope I got
the handling of modem lines right -- better do not tackle me about the
issue unless you feel too good...

Any users of the old driver: please note the numbers of the serial lines
have now been swapped, i.e.  ttyS0 <-> ttyS1 and ttyS2 <-> ttyS3.  It has
to do with the modem lines mentioned above; basically the port A in a given
chip has to be initialised before the port B if you want to use the latter
as the serial console (which is usually the case), as operations on modem
lines of the serial line associated with the port B access both ports (see
the comment at the top of the driver for the details of wiring used).
Please update your scripts.

This is also the reason each SCC now requests an IRQ once only (as seen in
"/proc/interrupts") -- the handler takes care of both ports at once as the
line associated with the port B has to take status update interrupts from
both ports (and yet the line of the port A takes its own for itself too).
The old driver never got it right...

complex flow of control in each function, I feel it is wiser and

f6c4286590 [netdrvr] natsemi: Fix device removal bug
This episode illustrates how an overused warning can train people to
ignore that warning, which winds up hiding bugs.

The warning

drivers/net/natsemi.c: In function ‘natsemi_remove1’:
drivers/net/natsemi.c:3222: warning: ignoring return value of
‘device_create_file’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

is oft-ignored, even though at close inspection one notices this occurs
in the /remove/ function, not normally where creation occurs.  A quick
s/create/remove/ and we are fixed, with the warning gone.

6f686d3d14 kernel/auditfilter: kill bogus uninit'd-var compiler warning
Kill this warning...

kernel/auditfilter.c: In function ‘audit_receive_filter’:
kernel/auditfilter.c:1213: warning: ‘ndw’ may be used uninitialized in this function
kernel/auditfilter.c:1213: warning: ‘ndp’ may be used uninitialized in this function

...with a simplification of the code.  audit_put_nd() can accept NULL
arguments, just like kfree().  It is cleaner to init two existing vars
to NULL, remove the redundant test variable 'putnd_needed' branches, and call
audit_put_nd() directly.

As a desired side effect, the warning goes away.

41120551fa [SPARC64]: Kill explicit %gl register reference.
Older binutils can't handle it.  Use SET_GL() instead,
which is explicitly for this purpose.

3bd858ab1c Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid check
Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]

The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.
