by marking the unused function as __maybe_unused.

<title>connector: add parent pid and tgid to coredump and exit events</title>

The intention is to get notified of process failures as soon
as possible, before a possible core dumping (which could be very long)
(e.g. in some process-manager). Coredump and exit process events
are perfect for such use cases (see 2b5faa4c553f "connector: Added
coredumping event to the process connector").

The problem is that for now the process-manager cannot know the parent
of a dying process using connectors. This could be useful if the
process-manager should monitor for failures only children of certain
parents, so we could filter the coredump and exit events by parent
process and/or thread ID.

Add parent pid and tgid to coredump and exit process connectors event
data.

<title>drivers, connector: convert cn_callback_entry.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t</title>

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable cn_callback_entry.refcnt is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

<title>connector: make cn_proc explicitly non-modular</title>

The Kconfig controlling build of this code is currently:

drivers/connector/Kconfig:config PROC_EVENTS
drivers/connector/Kconfig:      bool "Report process events to userspace"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the two modular references, so that when reading the driver
there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

<title>connector: fix out-of-order cn_proc netlink message delivery</title>

The proc connector messages include a sequence number, allowing userspace
programs to detect lost messages.  However, performing this detection is
currently more difficult than necessary, since netlink messages can be
delivered to the application out-of-order.  To fix this, leave pre-emption
disabled during cn_netlink_send(), and use GFP_NOWAIT.

The following was written as a test case.  Building the kernel w/ make -j32
proved a reliable way to generate out-of-order cn_proc messages.

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	static uint32_t last_seq[CPU_SETSIZE], seq;
	int cpu, fd;
	struct sockaddr_nl sa;
	struct __attribute__((aligned(NLMSG_ALIGNTO))) {

	} rmsg;
	struct __attribute__((aligned(NLMSG_ALIGNTO))) {
		struct nlmsghdr nl_hdr;
		struct __attribute__((__packed__)) {
			struct cn_msg cn_msg;
			enum proc_cn_mcast_op cn_mcast;
		};
	} smsg;

	fd = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_CONNECTOR);
	if (fd &lt; 0) {

	sa.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;
	sa.nl_groups = CN_IDX_PROC;
	sa.nl_pid = getpid();
	if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&amp;sa, sizeof(sa)) &lt; 0) {

	}

	memset(&amp;smsg, 0, sizeof(smsg));
	smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_len = sizeof(smsg);
	smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_pid = getpid();
	smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_type = NLMSG_DONE;
	smsg.cn_msg.id.idx = CN_IDX_PROC;

	smsg.cn_msg.len = sizeof(enum proc_cn_mcast_op);
	smsg.cn_mcast = PROC_CN_MCAST_LISTEN;
	if (send(fd, &amp;smsg, sizeof(smsg), 0) != sizeof(smsg)) {

Dmitry reports memleak with syskaller program.
Problem is that connector bumps skb usecount but might not invoke callback.

So move skb_get to where we invoke the callback.

<title>mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd</title>

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.
