  irq: Track the owner of irq descriptor
  irq: Always set IRQF_ONESHOT if no primary handler is specified
  genirq: Fix wrong bit operation

Function genpd_queue_power_off_work() is not defined for
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME, so pm_genpd_poweroff_unused() causes a build
error to happen in that case.  Fix the problem by making
pm_genpd_poweroff_unused() depend on CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME too.

The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
similar functions.

Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
rlimit only.  But the check created new security threat: many poorly
written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
cannot fail if executed with root privileges.  So, the check is removed
in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
buggy programs.

The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
spawning user processes.  Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.

Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag.  With the change only
this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
behaviour is not changed.

Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
exceeded at the moment of execve().  If the process was sleeping for
days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
exceeded days ago would be unexpected.  If the limit is not exceeded
anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().

The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.

Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).

v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

Add FLUSH/FUA support to blktrace. As FLUSH precedes WRITE and/or
FUA follows WRITE, use the same 'F' flag for both cases and
distinguish them by their (relative) position. The end results
look like (other flags might be shown also):

 - WRITE:            W
 - WRITE_FLUSH:      FW
 - WRITE_FUA:        WF
 - WRITE_FLUSH_FUA:  FWF

Note that we reuse TC_BARRIER due to lack of bit space of act_mask
so that the older versions of blktrace tools will report flush
requests as barriers from now on.

syslog-ng versions before 3.3.0beta1 (2011-05-12) assume that
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is sufficient to access syslog, so ever since CAP_SYSLOG
was introduced (2010-11-25) they have triggered a warning.

Commit ee24aebffb75 ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now")
improved matters a little by making syslog-ng work again, just keeping
the WARN_ONCE().  But still, this is a warning that writes a stack trace
we don't care about to syslog, sets a taint flag, and alarms sysadmins
when nothing worse has happened than use of an old userspace with a
recent kernel.

Convert the WARN_ONCE to a printk_once to avoid that while continuing to
give userspace developers a hint that this is an unwanted
backward-compatibility feature and won't be around forever.
