initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression

When expert configuration option(CONFIG_EXPERT) is enabled, menuconfig
offers a choice of compression algorithm to compress initial ramfs image;
This choice is stored into CONFIG_RD_* variables.  But usr/Makefile uses
earlier INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_* macros to build initial ramfs file.  Since
none of them is defined, resulting 'initramfs_data.cpio' file remains
un-compressed.

This patch updates the Makefile to use CONFIG_RD_* variables and adds
support for LZ4 compression algorithm.  Also updates the
'gen_initramfs_list.sh' script to check whether a selected compression
command is accessible or not.  And fall-back to default gzip(1)
compression when it is not.

init: make init failures more explicit

This patch proposes to make init failures more explicit.

Before this, the "No init found" message didn't help much.  It could
sometimes be misleading and actually mean "No *working* init found".

This message could hide many different issues:
- no init program candidates found at all
- some init program candidates exist but can't be executed (missing
   execute permissions, failed to load shared libraries, executable
   compiled for an unknown architecture...)

This patch notifies the kernel user when a candidate init program is found
but can't be executed.  In each failure situation, the error code is
displayed, to quickly find the root cause.  "No init found" is also
replaced by "No working init found", which is more correct.

This will help embedded Linux developers (especially the newcomers),
regularly making and debugging new root filesystems.

init/do_mounts_rd.c: fix NULL pointer dereference while loading initramfs

Make menuconfig allows one to choose compression format of an initial
ramdisk image.  But this choice does not result in duly compressed initial
ramdisk image.  Because - $ make install - does not pass on the selected
compression choice to the dracut(8) tool, which creates the initramfs
file.  dracut(8) generates the image with the default compression, ie.
gzip(1).

If a user chose any other compression instead of gzip(1), it leads to a
crash due to NULL pointer dereference in crd_load(), caused by a NULL
function pointer returned by the 'decompress_method()' routine.  Because
the initramfs image is gzip(1) compressed, whereas the kernel knows only
to decompress the chosen format and not gzip(1).

This patch replaces the crash by an explicit panic() call with an
appropriate error message. This shall prevent the kernel from
eventually panicking in: init/do_mounts.c: mount_block_root() with
  -> panic("VFS: Unable to mount root fs on %s", b);

epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies

When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached
directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex',
unless the epoll file descriptor is nested.  The purpose of taking the
'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep
wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD
operations.  However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor
attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to
hold the 'epmutex'.

This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves
scalability on larger systems.  Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb
performance:

"On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS.  In
addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling
well on just over 40 sockets.

...

Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like
I found a second unrelated bottleneck."

epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu

Nathan Zimmer found that once we get over 10+ cpus, the scalability of
SPECjbb falls over due to the contention on the global 'epmutex', which is
taken in on EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations.

Patch #1 removes the 'epmutex' lock completely from the EPOLL_CTL_DEL path
by using rcu to guard against any concurrent traversals.

Patch #2 remove the 'epmutex' lock from EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations for
simple topologies. IE when adding a link from an epoll file descriptor to
a wakeup source, where the epoll file descriptor is not nested.

This patch (of 2):

Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by
converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can
traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes.
Since deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe.

This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex'
for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in
scalability for SPECjbb.

So, if checking a patch, scan the original patched file if it's available

vsprintf: check real user/group id for %pK

Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read
permission by the real user id.  This is problematic with files which
use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time,
but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time.  If a setuid
binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates
permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be
leaked.

This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04:

  $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms
  00000000 T startup_32

  $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms
  pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000'

This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other
setuid binaries may leak more information.

Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having
CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids.
If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the
pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged.

Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct
the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default.

This is a only temporary solution to the issue.  The correct solution is
to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK
with a function which checks the open() time permission.  %pK uses in
printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and
instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.
