Paul Moore 58bfbb51ff selinux: Remove the "compat_net" compatibility code
The SELinux "compat_net" is marked as deprecated, the time has come to
finally remove it from the kernel.  Further code simplifications are
likely in the future, but this patch was intended to be a simple,
straight-up removal of the compat_net code.

Jason Baron e9d376f0fa dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

This patch extends command line option "i2c_bus=bus_id,clkrate" so that
it allow to register additional I2C busses that are not registered with
omap_register_i2c_bus from board initialization code.

Purpose of this is to register additional board busses which are routed
to external connectors only without any on board I2C devices.

This patch adds a new command line option "i2c_bus=bus_id,clkrate" into
I2C bus registration helper. Purpose of the option is to override the
default board specific bus speed which is supplied by the
omap_register_i2c_bus.

The default bus speed is typically set to speed of slowest I2C chip on the
bus and overriding allow to use some experimental configurations or updated
chip versions without any kernel modifications.

Mimi Zohar 3323eec921 integrity: IMA as an integrity service provider
IMA provides hardware (TPM) based measurement and attestation for
file measurements. As the Trusted Computing (TPM) model requires,
IMA measures all files before they are accessed in any way (on the
integrity_bprm_check, integrity_path_check and integrity_file_mmap
hooks), and commits the measurements to the TPM. Once added to the
TPM, measurements can not be removed.

In addition, IMA maintains a list of these file measurements, which
can be used to validate the aggregate value stored in the TPM.  The
TPM can sign these measurements, and thus the system can prove, to
itself and to a third party, the system's integrity in a way that
cannot be circumvented by malicious or compromised software.

- alloc ima_template_entry before calling ima_store_template()
- log ima_add_boot_aggregate() failure
- removed unused IMA_TEMPLATE_NAME_LEN
- replaced hard coded string length with #define name

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki c077719be8 memcg: mem+swap controller Kconfig
Config and control variable for mem+swap controller.

This patch adds CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP
(memory resource controller swap extension.)

For accounting swap, it's obvious that we have to use additional memory to
remember "who uses swap".  This adds more overhead.  So, it's better to
offer "choice" to users.  This patch adds 2 choices.

This patch adds 2 parameters to enable swap extension or not.
  - CONFIG
  - boot option

Arjan van de Ven e8de1481fd resource: allow MMIO exclusivity for device drivers
Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.

This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.

In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.

Alan Stern c838ea4626 USB: storage: make the "quirks=" module parameter writable
This patch (as1190) makes usb-storage's "quirks=" module parameter
writable, so that users can add entries for their devices at runtime
with no need to reboot or reload usb-storage.

New codes are added for the SANE_SENSE, CAPACITY_HEURISTICS, and
CAPACITY_OK flags.

Alan Stern d4f373e57d USB: usb-storage: add "quirks=" module parameter
This patch (as1163b) adds a "quirks=" module parameter to usb-storage.
This will allow people to make short-term changes to their
unusual_devs list without rebuilding the entire driver.  Testing will
become much easier, and less-sophisticated users will be able to
access their buggy devices after a simple config-file change instead
of having to wait for a new kernel release.

The patch also adds a documentation entry for usb-storage's
"delay_use" parameter, which has been around for years but but was
never listed among the kernel parameters.

Hidehiro Kawai 4cb0e11b15 coredump_filter: permit changing of the default filter
Introduce a new kernel parameter `coredump_filter'.  Setting a value to
this parameter causes the default bitmask of coredump_filter to be
changed.

It is useful for users to change coredump_filter settings for the whole
system at boot time.  Without this parameter, users have to change
coredump_filter settings for each /proc/<pid>/ in an initializing script.
