The SNDCTL_* and SOUND_* commands are the old OSS user interface.

I checked all the sound ioctl commands listed in fs/compat_ioctl.c
to see if we still need the translation handlers. Here is what I
found:

- sound/oss/ is (almost) gone from the kernel, this is what actually
  needed all the translations
- The ALSA emulation for OSS correctly handles all compat_ioctl
  commands already.
- sound/oss/dmasound/ is the last holdout of the original OSS code,
  this is only used on arch/m68k, which has no 64-bit mode and
  hence needs no compat handlers
- arch/um/drivers/hostaudio_kern.c may run in 64-bit mode with
  32-bit x86 user space underneath it. This rare corner case is
  the only one that still needs the compat handlers.

By adding a simple redirect of .compat_ioctl to .unlocked_ioctl in the
UML driver, we can remove all the COMPATIBLE_IOCTL() annotations without
a change in functionality. For completeness, I'm adding the same thing
to the dmasound file, knowing that it makes no difference.

The compat_ioctl list contains one comment about SNDCTL_DSP_MAPINBUF and
SNDCTL_DSP_MAPOUTBUF, which actually would need a translation handler
if implemented. However, the native implementation just returns -EINVAL,
so we don't care.

<title>module: add per-module param_lock</title>

<id>b51d23e4e9fea6f264d39535c2a62d1f51e7ccc3</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use
the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params.
Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct
calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module).

The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect
modification of any and all kernel params.  While this generally works,
there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function
cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even
with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg().  If the module to be
loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/*
config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the
first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to
lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param.

This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module
is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is
not blocked by changes to other module params.  All built-in modules
continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at
runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them
will never cause load-time param changing.

This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access
to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock
sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single
kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies
to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock
the global param mutex.  They are replaced with direct calls to
kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or
if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.

Three uml device drivers still use the big kernel lock,
but all of them can be safely converted to using
a per-driver mutex instead. Most likely this is not
even necessary, so after further review these can
and should be removed as well.

The exec system call no longer requires the BKL either,
so remove it from there, too.
