This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel
superblock flags.

The s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the
moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to.

Note how the MS_xyz flags are the ones passed to the mount system call,
while the SB_xyz flags are what we then use in sb-&gt;s_flags.

The script to do this was:

    # places to look in; re security/*: it generally should *not* be
    # touched (that stuff parses mount(2) arguments directly), but
    # there are two places where we really deal with superblock flags.
    FILES="drivers/mtd drivers/staging/lustre fs ipc mm \
            include/linux/fs.h include/uapi/linux/bfs_fs.h \
            security/apparmor/apparmorfs.c security/apparmor/include/lib.h"
    # the list of MS_... constants
    SYMS="RDONLY NOSUID NODEV NOEXEC SYNCHRONOUS REMOUNT MANDLOCK \
          DIRSYNC NOATIME NODIRATIME BIND MOVE REC VERBOSE SILENT \
          POSIXACL UNBINDABLE PRIVATE SLAVE SHARED RELATIME KERNMOUNT \
          I_VERSION STRICTATIME LAZYTIME SUBMOUNT NOREMOTELOCK NOSEC BORN \
          ACTIVE NOUSER"

    SED_PROG=
    for i in $SYMS; do SED_PROG="$SED_PROG -e s/MS_$i/SB_$i/g"; done

    # we want files that contain at least one of MS_...,
    # with fs/namespace.c and fs/pnode.c excluded.
    L=$(for i in $SYMS; do git grep -w -l MS_$i $FILES; done| sort|uniq|grep -v '^fs/namespace.c'|grep -v '^fs/pnode.c')

    for f in $L; do sed -i $f $SED_PROG; done

<title>cramfs: add mmap support</title>

<content type='text'>
When cramfs in physical memory is used then we have the opportunity
to map files directly from ROM, directly into user space, saving on
RAM usage. This gives us Execute-In-Place (XIP) support.

For a file to be mmap()-able, the map area has to correspond to a range
of uncompressed and contiguous blocks, and in the MMU case it also has
to be page aligned. A version of mkcramfs with appropriate support is
necessary to create such a filesystem image.

In the MMU case it may happen for a vma structure to extend beyond the
actual file size. This is notably the case in binfmt_elf.c:elf_map().
Or the file's last block is shared with other files and cannot be mapped
as is. Rather than refusing to mmap it, we do a "mixed" map and let the
regular fault handler populate the unmapped area with RAM-backed pages.
In practice the unmapped area is seldom accessed so page faults might
never occur before this area is discarded.

In the non-MMU case it is the get_unmapped_area method that is responsible
for providing the address where the actual data can be found. No mapping
is necessary of course.

<title>cramfs: implement uncompressed and arbitrary data block positioning</title>

Two new capabilities are introduced here:

- The ability to store some blocks uncompressed.

- The ability to locate blocks anywhere.

Those capabilities can be used independently, but the combination
opens the possibility for execute-in-place (XIP) of program text segments
that must remain uncompressed, and in the MMU case, must have a specific
alignment.  It is even possible to still have the writable data segments
from the same file compressed as they have to be copied into RAM anyway.

This is achieved by giving special meanings to some unused block pointer
bits while remaining compatible with legacy cramfs images.

Small embedded systems typically execute the kernel code in place (XIP)
directly from flash to save on precious RAM usage. This patch adds to
cramfs the ability to consume filesystem data directly from flash as
well. Cramfs is particularly well suited to this feature as it is very
simple with low RAM usage, and with this feature it is possible to use
it with no block device support and consequently even lower RAM usage.

This patch was inspired by a similar patch from Shane Nay dated 17 years
ago that used to be very popular in embedded circles but never made it
into mainline. This is a cleaned-up implementation that uses far fewer
ifdef's and gets the actual memory location for the filesystem image
via MTD at run time. In the context of small IoT deployments, this
functionality has become relevant and useful again.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

kmap() in page_follow_link_light() needed to go - allowing to hold
an arbitrary number of kmaps for long is a great way to deadlocking
the system.

new helper (inode_nohighmem(inode)) needs to be used for pagecache
symlinks inodes; done for all in-tree cases.  page_follow_link_light()
instrumented to yell about anything missed.
