Allow userspace filesystem implementation to use splice() to read from
the fuse device.
The userspace filesystem can now transfer data coming from a WRITE
request to an arbitrary file descriptor (regular file, block device or
socket) without having to go through a userspace buffer.
The semantics of using splice() to read messages are:
1) with a single splice() call move the whole message from the fuse
device to a temporary pipe
2) read the header from the pipe and determine the message type
3a) if message is a WRITE then splice data from pipe to destination
3b) else read rest of message to userspace buffer

When splicing buffers to the fuse device with SPLICE_F_MOVE, try to
move pages from the pipe buffer into the page cache. This allows
populating the fuse filesystem's cache without ever touching the page
contents, i.e. zero copy read capability.
The following steps are performed when trying to move a page into the
page cache:
- buf->ops->confirm() to make sure the new page is uptodate
- buf->ops->steal() to try to remove the new page from it's previous place
- remove_from_page_cache() on the old page
- add_to_page_cache_locked() on the new page
If any of the above steps fail (non fatally) then the code falls back
to copying the page. In particular ->steal() will fail if there are
external references (other than the page cache and the pipe buffer) to
the page.
Also since the remove_from_page_cache() + add_to_page_cache_locked()
are non-atomic it is possible that the page cache is repopulated in
between the two and add_to_page_cache_locked() will fail. This could
be fixed by creating a new atomic replace_page_cache_page() function.
fuse_readpages_end() needed to be reworked so it works even if
page->mapping is NULL for some or all pages which can happen if the
add_to_page_cache_locked() failed.
A number of sanity checks were added to make sure the stolen pages
don't have weird flags set, etc... These could be moved into generic
splice/steal code.

This is needed to enable moving pages into the page cache in fuse with
splice(..., SPLICE_F_MOVE).

Allow userspace filesystem implementation to use splice() to write to
the fuse device. The semantics of using splice() are:
1) buffer the message header and data in a temporary pipe
2) with a *single* splice() call move the message from the temporary pipe
to the fuse device
The READ reply message has the most interesting use for this, since
now the data from an arbitrary file descriptor (which could be a
regular file, a block device or a socket) can be tranferred into the
fuse device without having to go through a userspace buffer. It will
also allow zero copy moving of pages.
One caveat is that the protocol on the fuse device requires the length
of the whole message to be written into the header. But the length of
the data transferred into the temporary pipe may not be known in
advance. The current library implementation works around this by
using vmplice to write the header and modifying the header after
splicing the data into the pipe (error handling omitted):
struct fuse_out_header out;
iov.iov_base = &out;
iov.iov_len = sizeof(struct fuse_out_header);
vmsplice(pip[1], &iov, 1, 0);
len = splice(input_fd, input_offset, pip[1], NULL, len, 0);
/* retrospectively modify the header: */
out.len = len + sizeof(struct fuse_out_header);
splice(pip[0], NULL, fuse_chan_fd(req->ch), NULL, out.len, flags);
This works since vmsplice only saves a pointer to the data, it does
not copy the data itself.
Since pipes are currently limited to 16 pages and messages need to be
spliced atomically, the length of the data is limited to 15 pages (or
60kB for 4k pages).

Acquire a page ref on pages in ->readpages() and release them when the
read has finished. Not acquiring a reference didn't seem to cause any
trouble since the page is locked and will not be kicked out of the
page cache during the read.
However the following patches will want to remove the page from the
cache so a separate ref is needed. Making the reference in req->pages
explicit also makes the code easier to understand.

This reverts commit 03ceedea972a82d343fa5c2528b3952fa9e615d5, since it
breaks resume from suspend-to-ram on Rafael's Acer Ferrari One.
NetworkManager thinks everything is ok, but it can't connect to the AP
to get an IP address after the resume.
In fact, it even breaks resume for non-ath9k chipsets: reverting it also
fixes Rafael's Toshiba Protege R500 with the iwlagn driver. As Johannes
says:
"Indeed, this patch needs to be reverted. That mac80211 change is wrong
and completely unnecessary."

commit 64ce4c2f (time: Clean up warp_clock()) breaks the timezone
update in a very subtle way. To avoid the direct access to timekeeping
internals it adds the timezone delta to the current time with
timespec_add_safe(). This works nicely when the timezone delta is > 0.
If timezone delta is < 0 then the wrap check in timespec_add_safe()
triggers and timespec_add_safe() returns TIME_MAX and screws up
timekeeping completely.
The comment above timespec_add_safe() says:
It's assumed that both values are valid (>= 0)
Add the timezone seconds adjustment directly.

Add a little strncpy optimization which can easily cut boot time by 20%.
When the kernel is booting with initramfs, it builds up the filesystem
from a cpio archive by calling strncpy_from_user() via fs/namei.c's
do_getname() on every file in the archive (which can be lots) with a
length of PATH_MAX (1024). This causes the dest of the strncpy to be
padded with many NUL bytes.
This optimization mostly causes these NUL bytes to be padded with a call
to memset() which is already optimized for filling memory quickly, but
the hardware loop helps a little bit as well.
Boot time measured with 'loglevel=0' so UART speed doesn't get in the way.

Since 'extern inline' doesn't work correctly in the context of the Linux
kernel (too many overriding defines), move the string functions to normal
lib/ assembly files (like the existing mem funcs). This avoids the forced
inline all over the kernel and allows us to place them constantly in L1.
This also avoids some module failures when gcc inserts calls to string
functions but the kernel build system doesn't fully consult the library
archives.
