dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_.  This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.

Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time.  The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.

Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:

    thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>

Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools

Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:

     i) Incremental backups.

     By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
     changed over time.  Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
     the data doesn't change while we back it up.

     A short proof of concept script can be found here:

     https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb

     ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.

     iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.

     iv) Asyncronous replication.

dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device.  Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.

With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too.  The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.

Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.

Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure.  Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands).  For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too.  It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

support for x32 GDB  For ARCH_GET_FS/GS, it takes a pointer to int64.  But
at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32.  So I have to add
x32 ptrace to glibc to handle it with a temporary int64 passed to kernel and
copy it back to GDB as int32.  Roland suggested that PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL
is obsolete and x32 GDB should use fs_base and gs_base fields of
user_regs_struct instead.

Accordingly, remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL completely from the x32 code to
avoid possible memory overrun when pointer to int32 is passed to
kernel.

because we send them all on a single queue.

Obvious choice is to reflect incoming SYN packet @queue_mapping to
SYNACK packet.

cipso: handle CIPSO options correctly when NetLabel is disabled

When NetLabel is not enabled, e.g. CONFIG_NETLABEL=n, and the system
receives a CIPSO tagged packet it is dropped (cipso_v4_validate()
returns non-zero).  In most cases this is the correct and desired
behavior, however, in the case where we are simply forwarding the
traffic, e.g. acting as a network bridge, this becomes a problem.

This patch fixes the forwarding problem by providing the basic CIPSO
validation code directly in ip_options_compile() without the need for
the NetLabel or CIPSO code.  The new validation code can not perform
any of the CIPSO option label/value verification that
cipso_v4_validate() does, but it can verify the basic CIPSO option
format.

The behavior when NetLabel is enabled is unchanged.

resume_userspace_sig, which rechecks the same thing and bails out
to resume_kernel, thus breaking the loop.

It's easier and cheaper to check *before* calling do_notify_resume()

do_signal()...

Note that on amd64 we can't get there with !user_mode() at all - asm
