This patch adds a new function alloc_zeroed_user_highpage that is then used
in the anonymous page fault handler and in the COW code to allocate zeroed
pages.  The function can be defined per arch to setup special processing
for user pages by defining __HAVE_ARCH_ALLOC_ZEROED_USER_PAGE.  For arches
that do not need to do special things for user pages,
alloc_zeroed_user_highpage is defined to simply do

	alloc_page_vma(GFP_HIGHUSER | __GFP_ZERO, vma, vaddr)

This patch needs to update a number of archs. Wish there was a better way
to do this.

Convert the unsafe signed (16bit) used_math to a safe and optimal
PF_USED_MATH

I might have broken arm, see the very first change in the patch to
asm-offsets.c, rest looks ok at first glance.

If you want used_math to return 0 or 1 (instead of 0 or PF_USED_MATH), just
s/!!// in the below patch and place !!  in sched.h::*used_math()
accordingly after applying the patch, it should work just fine.  Using !!
only when necessary as the below is optimal.

Fix several oom killer bugs, most important avoid spurious oom kills
badness algorithm tweaked by Thomas Gleixner to deal with fork bombs

This is the core of the oom-killer fixes I developed partly taking
the idea from Thomas's patches of getting feedback from the exit
path, plus I moved the oom killer into page_alloc.c as it should to
be able to check the watermarks before killing more stuff.  This
also tweaks the badness to take thread bombs more into account (that
change to badness is from Thomas, from my part I'd rather rewrite
badness from scratch instead, but that's an orthgonal issue ;).
With this applied the oom killer is very sane, no more 5 sec waits
and suprious oom kills.

With Suparna Bhattacharya <suparna@in.ibm.com>

I was running a random system call generator against mainline the other 
day and got this bug report about AIO in dmesg:

kernel BUG at fs/aio.c:1249!

Each ioctx structure has a "users" field that acts as a reference counter
for the ioctx, and a "dead" flag that seems to indicate that the ioctx
isn't associated with any particular list of IO requests.

The problem, then, lies in aio.c:1247.  The io_destroy function checks the
(old) value of the dead flag--if it's false (i.e.  the ioctx is alive),
then the function calls put_ioctx to decrease the reference count on the
assumption that the ioctx is no longer associated with any requests. 
Later, it calls put_ioctx again, on the assumption that someone called
lookup_ioctx to perform some operation at some point.

This BUG is caused by the reference counts being off.  The testcase that
I provided looks for a chunk of user memory that's read-only and passes
that to the sys_io_setup syscall.  sys_io_setup checks that the pointer
is readable, creates the ioctx and then tries to write the ioctx handle
back to userland.  This is where the problems start to surface.

Since the pointer points to a non-writable region of memory, the write
fails.  The syscall handler then destroys the ioctx.  The dead flag is
zero, so io_destroy calls put_ioctx...but wait!  Nobody ever put the ioctx
into a request list.  The ioctx is alive but not in a list, yet the
io_destroy code assumes that being alive implies being in a request list
somewhere.  Hence, calling put_ioctx is bogus; the reference count becomes
0, and the ioctx is freed.  Worse yet, put_ioctx is called again (on a
freed pointer!) to clear up the lookup_ioctx that never happened. 
put_ioctx sees that the reference count has become negative and BUGs.

Suparna's patch simply takes that additional ref so that io_destroy() will
dtrt.

When auditd is congested the kernel's audit system leaks skb's.  First, it
takes them off the audit_buffer sklist at which point they are lost,
second, it allocates a new skb with 0 length payload.  Then (likely still
congested), it repeats this losing the new skb.  Plug the leak by making
sure to requeue the skb, and avoid audit_log_move() on 0 len audit_buffer.

away from ptrace notify and resets the last_siginfo, sighand lock helps.
But if the child goes further in exit and releases the sighand, we need to
test that case too.  See ptrace_check_attach() and exit_sighand().  They
also use the tasklist_lock.
