076c54c5bc Security: Introduce security= boot parameter
Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM
registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module.

User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no
security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM
asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security
module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen.

LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register
by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux
and SMACK to do so.

Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on
boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and
the initial task security setup (swapper->security) is done.

52f7c21b61 ocfs2: Move /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb
/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects.

Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain
backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After
some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds
documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb
is used for.

00d1c5e057 x86: add gbpages switches
These new controls toggle experimental support for a new CPU feature,
the straightforward extension of largepages from the pmd level to the
pud level, which allows 1GB (kernel) TLBs instead of 2MB TLBs.

Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet.

Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the
boot line can be used to enable it. If enabled in the .config then
nogbpages boot option disables it.

423bec4307 Documentation: correct overcommit caveat in hugetlbpage.txt
As shown by Gurudas Pai recently, we can put hugepages into the surplus
state (by echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages), even when
/proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages is 0. This is actually correct, to
allow the original goal (shrink the static pool to 0) to succeed (we are
converting hugepages to surplus because they are in use). However, the
documentation does not accurately reflect this case. Update it.

14dadf1d5e Add additional examples in Documentation/spinlocks.txt
Checkpatch will throw an error if code doesn't use the correct initializers
for static spinlocks:

ERROR: Use of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated: see Documentation/spinlocks.txt

This is fine, but Documentation/spinlocks.txt isn't very clear on how to
_use_ the new initializers for static variables. To save people time in the
future, I added two small examples of how to fix old-style static
initializers to be more lockdep friendly.
