before CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ age, for_each_irq_desc() sat in irqnr.h and
could be called from generic code.

CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ breaks this assumption, but SPARSE_IRQ version

Also, this patch unifies CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ and !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ

69c35efcf1 libcrc32c: Move implementation to crypto crc32c
This patch swaps the role of libcrc32c and crc32c.  Previously
the implementation was in libcrc32c and crc32c was a wrapper.
Now the code is in crc32c and libcrc32c just calls the crypto
layer.

The reason for the change is to tap into the algorithm selection
capability of the crypto API so that optimised implementations
such as the one utilising Intel's CRC32C instruction can be
used where available.

dec8b78606 crypto: hash - Add import/export interface
It is often useful to save the partial state of a hash function
so that it can be used as a base for two or more computations.

The most prominent example is HMAC where all hashes start from
a base determined by the key.  Having an import/export interface
means that we only have to compute that base once rather than
for each message.

7b5a080b3c crypto: hash - Add shash interface
The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface.
It improves over hash in two ways.  Firstly shash is reentrant,
meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously
as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor.

The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list
entries.  This is because shash is specifically designed for
synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary.

All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the
algorithms have been completely converted.

There is also a new finup function that combines update with final.
This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is
done.

This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own
registration function.  Existing algorithm types will be converted
to this way in due course.

7b0bac64cd crypto: api - Rebirth of crypto_alloc_tfm
This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm.
The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects
when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend.  In fact this
simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back.

For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an
actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm.  Putting
this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly.

The existing types will be converted across gradually.

4a7794860b crypto: api - Move type exit function into crypto_tfm
The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type
init function.  However, the type init function may differ depending
on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher
instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher).

So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level
structure and into crypto_tfm itself.

As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at
all.  However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated
as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher)
will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform
and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted
into crypto_blkcipher).  That will need to use a different exit
function depending on the upper-level type.

This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not)
cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level.

68e76ad0ba nfsd: pass client principal name in rsc downcall
Two principals are involved in krb5 authentication: the target, who we
authenticate *to* (normally the name of the server, like
nfs/server.citi.umich.edu@CITI.UMICH.EDU), and the source, we we
authenticate *as* (normally a user, like bfields@UMICH.EDU)

In the case of NFSv4 callbacks, the target of the callback should be the
source of the client's setclientid call, and the source should be the
nfs server's own principal.

Therefore we allow svcgssd to pass down the name of the principal that
just authenticated, so that on setclientid we can store that principal
name with the new client, to be used later on callbacks.

c381060869 rpc: add an rpc_pipe_open method
We want to transition to a new gssd upcall which is text-based and more
easily extensible.

To simplify upgrades, as well as testing and debugging, it will help if
we can upgrade gssd (to a version which understands the new upcall)
without having to choose at boot (or module-load) time whether we want
the new or the old upcall.

We will do this by providing two different pipes: one named, as
currently, after the mechanism (normally "krb5"), and supporting the
old upcall.  One named "gssd" and supporting the new upcall version.

We allow gssd to indicate which version it supports by its choice of
which pipe to open.

As we have no interest in supporting *simultaneous* use of both
versions, we'll forbid opening both pipes at the same time.

So, add a new pipe_open callback to the rpc_pipefs api, which the gss
code can use to track which pipes have been open, and to refuse opens of
incompatible pipes.

We only need this to be called on the first open of a given pipe.

64672d55d9 optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"
Hi.

I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes.  It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)

In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it.  It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo].  The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo).  With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.

This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case.  However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.

    Thanx...

d740351bf0 NFS: add "[no]resvport" mount option
The standard default security setting for NFS is AUTH_SYS.  An NFS
client connects to NFS servers via a privileged source port and a
fixed standard destination port (2049).  The client sends raw uid and
gid numbers to identify users making NFS requests, and the server
assumes an appropriate authority on the client has vetted these
values because the source port is privileged.

On Linux, by default in-kernel RPC services use a privileged port in
the range between 650 and 1023 to avoid using source ports of well-
known IP services.  Using such a small range limits the number of NFS
mount points and the number of unique NFS servers to which a client
can connect concurrently.

An NFS client can use unprivileged source ports to expand the range of
source port numbers, allowing more concurrent server connections and
more NFS mount points.  Servers must explicitly allow NFS connections
from unprivileged ports for this to work.

In the past, bumping the value of the sunrpc.max_resvport sysctl on
the client would permit the NFS client to use unprivileged ports.
Bumping this setting also changes the maximum port number used by
other in-kernel RPC services, some of which still required a port
number less than 1023.

This is exacerbated by the way source port numbers are chosen by the
Linux RPC client, which starts at the top of the range and works
downwards.  It means that bumping the maximum means all RPC services
requesting a source port will likely get an unprivileged port instead
of a privileged one.

Changing this setting effects all NFS mount points on a client.  A
sysadmin could not selectively choose which mount points would use
non-privileged ports and which could not.

Lastly, this mechanism of expanding the limit on the number of NFS
mount points was entirely undocumented.

To address the need for the NFS client to use a large range of source
ports without interfering with the activity of other in-kernel RPC
services, we introduce a new NFS mount option.  This option explicitly
tells only the NFS client to use a non-privileged source port when
communicating with the NFS server for one specific mount point.

This new mount option is called "resvport," like the similar NFS mount
option on FreeBSD and Mac OS X.  A sister patch for nfs-utils will be
submitted that documents this new option in nfs(5).

The default setting for this new mount option requires the NFS client
to use a privileged port, as before.  Explicitly specifying the
"noresvport" mount option allows the NFS client to use an unprivileged
source port for this mount point when connecting to the NFS server
port.

This mount option is supported only for text-based NFS mounts.

[ Sidebar: it is widely known that security mechanisms based on the
  use of privileged source ports are ineffective.  However, the NFS
  client can combine the use of unprivileged ports with the use of
  secure authentication mechanisms, such as Kerberos.  This allows a
  large number of connections and mount points while ensuring a useful
  level of security.

  Eventually we may change the default setting for this option
  depending on the security flavor used for the mount.  For example,
  if the mount is using only AUTH_SYS, then the default setting will
  be "resvport;" if the mount is using a strong security flavor such
  as krb5, the default setting will be "noresvport." ]

146ec944bb NFS: Move declaration of nfs_mount() to fs/nfs/internal.h
Clean up:  The nfs_mount() function is not to be used outside of the
NFS client.  Move its public declaration to fs/nfs/internal.h.

88a9fe8cae SUNRPC: Remove the last remnant of the BKL...
Somehow, this escaped the previous purge. There should be no need to keep
any extra locks in the XDR callbacks.

The NFS client XDR code only writes into private objects, whereas all reads
of shared objects are confined to fields that do not change, such as
filehandles...

Ditto for lockd, the NFSv2/v3 client mount code, and rpcbind.

The nfsd XDR code may require the BKL, but since it does a synchronous RPC
call from a thread that already holds the lock, that issue is moot.
