sync.h uses struct seq_file in some function table prototypes. This
causes compile failures when including the header in files that do not
otherwise include seq_file.h

Move driver callbacks to fill strings instead of using seq_files. This
will allow those values to be used in a future tracepoint patch.

If a timeline is destroyed while fences still hold pts on it, the reworked
fence release handler can cause the timeline to be freed before all it's points
are freed.

If a fence is released while a timeline that one of it's pts is on is being
signaled, it is possible for that fence to be deleted before it is signaled.
This patch adds a refcount for internal references such as signaled pt
processing.

In order to allow drivers to cleanly handled teardown we need to allow them
to cancel pending async waits. To do this cleanly, we move allocation of
sync_fence_waiter to the driver calling sync_async_wait().

A lot of files pull in module.h when all they are really
looking for is the basic EXPORT_SYMBOL functionality. The
recent data from Ingo[1] shows that this is one of several
instances that has a significant impact on compile times,
and it should be targeted for factoring out (as done here).
Note that several commonly used header files in include/*
directly include <linux/module.h> themselves (some 34 of them!)
The most commonly used ones of these will have to be made
independent of module.h before the full benefit of this change
can be realized.
We also transition THIS_MODULE from module.h to export.h,
since there are lots of files with subsystem structs that
in turn will have a struct module *owner and only be doing:
.owner = THIS_MODULE;
and absolutely nothing else modular. So, we also want to have
the THIS_MODULE definition present in the lightweight header.

This patch corrects a buffer overflow in kernels from 3.0 to 3.4 when calling
log_prefix() function from call_console_drivers().
This bug existed in previous releases but has been revealed with commit
162a7e7500 (2.6.39 => 3.0) that made changes
about how to allocate memory for early printk buffer (use of memblock_alloc).
It disappears with commit 7ff9554bb5 (3.4 => 3.5)
that does a refactoring of printk buffer management.
In log_prefix(), the access to "p[0]", "p[1]", "p[2]" or
"simple_strtoul(&p[1], &endp, 10)" may cause a buffer overflow as this
function is called from call_console_drivers by passing "&LOG_BUF(cur_index)"
where the index must be masked to do not exceed the buffer's boundary.
The trick is to prepare in call_console_drivers() a buffer with the necessary
data (PRI field of syslog message) to be safely evaluated in log_prefix().
This patch can be applied to stable kernel branches 3.0.y, 3.2.y and 3.4.y.
Without this patch, one can freeze a server running this loop from shell :
$ export DUMMY=`cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '12345AZERTYUIOPQSDFGHJKLMWXCVBNazertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn' | head -c255`
$ while true do ; echo $DUMMY > /dev/kmsg ; done
The "server freeze" depends on where memblock_alloc does allocate printk buffer :
if the buffer overflow is inside another kernel allocation the problem may not
be revealed, else the server may hangs up.

commit 115c9b8192 upstream.
Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask
is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that
certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application.
At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to
indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information
about the VFs belonging to the interface.
This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have
large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned
by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions.
Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with
the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will
not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel.
Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net
devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the
info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed
in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter
mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE.
With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink
attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible
in the future.
