Pull vfs pile 1 from Al Viro:
 "Unfortunately, this merge window it'll have a be a lot of small piles -
  my fault, actually, for not keeping #for-next in anything that would
  resemble a sane shape ;-/

  This pile: assorted fixes (the first 3 are -stable fodder, IMO) and
  cleanups + %pd/%pD formats (dentry/file pathname, up to 4 last
  components) + several long-standing patches from various folks.

  There definitely will be a lot more (starting with Miklos'
  check_submount_and_drop() series)"

For bytemaps each IRQ field is 1 byte wide, so we pack 4 irq fields in
one word and since there are 32 private (per cpu) irqs, we have 8
private u32 fields on the vgic_bytemap struct.  We shift the offset from
the base of the register group right by 2, giving us the word index
instead of the field index.  But then there are 8 private words, not 4,
which is also why we subtract 8 words from the offset of the shared
words.

All the code in handle_mmio_cfg_reg() assumes the offset has
been shifted right to accomodate for the 2:1 bit compression,
but this is only done when getting the register address.

Shift the offset early so the code works mostly unchanged.

vgic_get_target_reg is quite complicated, for no good reason.
Actually, it is fairly easy to write it in a much more efficient
way by using the target CPU array instead of the bitmap.

<title>kvm: optimize away THP checks in kvm_is_mmio_pfn()</title>

The checks on PG_reserved in the page structure on head and tail pages
aren't necessary because split_huge_page wouldn't transfer the
PG_reserved bit from head to tail anyway.

This was a forward-thinking check done in the case PageReserved was
set by a driver-owned page mapped in userland with something like
remap_pfn_range in a VM_PFNMAP region, but using hugepmds (not
possible right now). It was meant to be very safe, but it's overkill
as it's unlikely split_huge_page could ever run without the driver
noticing and tearing down the hugepage itself.

And if a driver in the future will really want to map a reserved
hugepage in userland using an huge pmd it should simply take care of
marking all subpages reserved too to keep KVM safe. This of course
would require such a hypothetical driver to tear down the huge pmd
itself and splitting the hugepage itself, instead of relaying on
split_huge_page, but that sounds very reasonable, especially
considering split_huge_page wouldn't currently transfer the reserved
bit anyway.

<title>kvm: use anon_inode_getfd() with O_CLOEXEC flag</title>

KVM uses anon_inode_get() to allocate file descriptors as part
of some of its ioctls. But those ioctls are lacking a flag argument
allowing userspace to choose options for the newly opened file descriptor.

In such case it's advised to use O_CLOEXEC by default so that
userspace is allowed to choose, without race, if the file descriptor
is going to be inherited across exec().

This patch set O_CLOEXEC flag on all file descriptors created
with anon_inode_getfd() to not leak file descriptors across exec().

kvm_io_bus_sort_cmp is used also directly, not just as a callback for
sort and bsearch.  In these cases, it is handy to have a type-safe
variant.  This patch introduces such a variant, __kvm_io_bus_sort_cmp,
and uses it throughout kvm_main.c.

This is called right after the memslots is updated, i.e. when the result
of update_memslots() gets installed in install_new_memslots().  Since
the memslots needs to be updated twice when we delete or move a memslot,
kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() does not correspond to this exactly.

In the following patch, x86 will use this new API to check if the mmio
generation has reached its maximum value, in which case mmio sptes need
to be flushed out.
