<id>380af1b33b3ff92df5cda96329b58f5d1b6b5a53</id>

The attached patch:
- reverses the locking order of ulp-&gt;lock and sem_lock:
  Previously, it was first ulp-&gt;lock, then inside sem_lock.
  Now it's the other way around.
- converts the undo structure to rcu.

Benefits:
- With the old locking order, IPC_RMID could not kfree the undo structures.
  The stale entries remained in the linked lists and were released later.
- The patch fixes a a race in semtimedop(): if both IPC_RMID and a semget() that
  recreates exactly the same id happen between find_alloc_undo() and sem_lock,
  then semtimedop() would access already kfree'd memory.

<title>ipc: store ipcs into IDRs</title>

<id>7ca7e564e049d8b350ec9d958ff25eaa24226352</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces ipcs storage into IDRs. The main changes are:
  . This ipc_ids structure is changed: the entries array is changed into a
    root idr structure.
  . The grow_ary() routine is removed: it is not needed anymore when adding
    an ipc structure, since we are now using the IDR facility.
  . The ipc_rmid() routine interface is changed:
       . there is no need for this routine to return the pointer passed in as
         argument: it is now declared as a void
       . since the id is now part of the kern_ipc_perm structure, no need to
         have it as an argument to the routine

Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous
fix-missing-includes.patch.  This should now allow not to include sched.h
from module.h, which is done by a followup patch.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
