Fix up users of these variables.
Fix documentation for sysctl.

a patch for the socket.7  man page will follow separately,

adds a socket option for low latency polling.
This allows overriding the global sysctl value with a per-socket one.
Unexport sysctl_net_ll_poll since for now it's not needed in modules.

<title>net: add option to enable error queue packets waking select</title>

<id>7d4c04fc170087119727119074e72445f2bb192b</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when a socket receives something on the error queue it only wakes up
the socket on select if it is in the "read" list, that is the socket has
something to read. It is useful also to wake the socket if it is in the error
list, which would enable software to wait on error queue packets without waking
up for regular data on the socket. The main use case is for receiving
timestamped transmit packets which return the timestamp to the socket via the
error queue. This enables an application to select on the socket for the error
queue only instead of for the regular traffic.

-v2-
* Added the SO_SELECT_ERR_QUEUE socket option to every architechture specific file
* Modified every socket poll function that checks error queue

<title>cris: use "int" for ssize_t to match size_t</title>

<content type='text'>
On cris-linux-gcc, __SIZE_TYPE__ expands to "unsigned int", as
gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/cris-linux/lib/gcc/cris-linux/4.6.3/plugin/include/config/cris/linux.h
has

    #define SIZE_TYPE "unsigned int"

Hence __kernel_size_t is also "unsigned int".  But __kernel_ssize_t is
"long", which has a different base type, causing compiler warnings like:

    fs/quota/quota_tree.c:372:4: warning: format '%zd' expects argument of type 'signed size_t', but argument 4 has type 'ssize_t' [-Wformat]

To fix this, __kernel_ssize_t should be changed to "int". Hence cris can
just use the generic 32-bit versions from include/asm-generic/posix_types.h
for all size-related types.

<title>sk-filter: Add ability to lock a socket filter program</title>

While a privileged program can open a raw socket, attach some
restrictive filter and drop its privileges (or send the socket to an
unprivileged program through some Unix socket), the filter can still
be removed or modified by the unprivileged program. This commit adds a
socket option to lock the filter (SO_LOCK_FILTER) preventing any
modification of a socket filter program.

This is similar to OpenBSD BIOCLOCK ioctl on bpf sockets, except even
root is not allowed change/drop the filter.

The state of the lock can be read with getsockopt(). No error is
triggered if the state is not changed. -EPERM is returned when a user
tries to remove the lock or to change/remove the filter while the lock
is active. The check is done directly in sk_attach_filter() and
sk_detach_filter() and does not affect only setsockopt() syscall.

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.

  Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
  SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
  resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
  SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
  include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."

Fixed up conflicts as per Al.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  alpha: switch to generic sigaltstack
  new helpers: __save_altstack/__compat_save_altstack, switch x86 and um to those
  generic compat_sys_sigaltstack()
  introduce generic sys_sigaltstack(), switch x86 and um to it

Fix up three empty files in arch/cris/ by sticking placeholder comments in
there to prevent the patch program from deleting them.

I decided not to delete the arch-v*/Kbuild files as it's possibly someone might
want to use them for genhdr-y lines in the future, but they could be deleted
and the pointer lines removed from asm/Kbuild.  The uapi/arch-v*/Kbuild files
ought to be uneffected by such a change.

asm/swab.h didn't have anything outside of __KERNEL__ so nothing appeared in
uapi/asm/swab.h.  The latter, however, is exported by Kbuild.asm.

This needs to be applied after the CRIS UAPI disintegration patch.
