9009b45581 .gitignore: prefix local generated files with a slash
The pattern prefixed with '/' matches files in the same directory,
but not ones in sub-directories.

8fe62e0c0e watch_queue: Drop references to /dev/watch_queue
The merged API doesn't use a watch_queue device, but instead relies on
pipes, so let the documentation reflect that.

faabed295c kbuild: introduce hostprogs-always-y and userprogs-always-y
To build host programs, you need to add the program names to 'hostprogs'
to use the necessary build rule, but it is not enough to build them
because there is no dependency.

There are two types of host programs: built as the prerequisite of
another (e.g. gen_crc32table in lib/Makefile), or always built when
Kbuild visits the Makefile (e.g. genksyms in scripts/genksyms/Makefile).

The latter is typical in Makefiles under scripts/, which contains host
programs globally used during the kernel build. To build them, you need
to add them to both 'hostprogs' and 'always-y'.

This commit adds hostprogs-always-y as a shorthand.

The same applies to user programs. net/bpfilter/Makefile builds
bpfilter_umh on demand, hence always-y is unneeded. In contrast,
programs under samples/ are added to both 'userprogs' and 'always-y'
so they are always built when Kbuild visits the Makefiles.

userprogs-always-y works as a shorthand.

214377e9b7 samples: watch_queue: build sample program for target architecture
This userspace program includes UAPI headers exported to usr/include/.
'make headers' always works for the target architecture (i.e. the same
architecture as the kernel), so the sample program should be built for
the target as well. Kbuild now supports 'userprogs' for that.

I also guarded the CONFIG option by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK' because
$(CC) may not provide libc.

e7d553d69c pipe: Add notification lossage handling
Add handling for loss of notifications by having read() insert a
loss-notification message after it has read the pipe buffer that was last
in the ring when the loss occurred.

Lossage can come about either by running out of notification descriptors or
by running out of space in the pipe ring.

8cfba76383 pipe: Allow buffers to be marked read-whole-or-error for notifications
Allow a buffer to be marked such that read() must return the entire buffer
in one go or return ENOBUFS.  Multiple buffers can be amalgamated into a
single read, but a short read will occur if the next "whole" buffer won't
fit.

This is useful for watch queue notifications to make sure we don't split a
notification across multiple reads, especially given that we need to
fabricate an overrun record under some circumstances - and that isn't in
the buffers.

f5b5a164f9 Add sample notification program
The sample program is run like:

	./samples/watch_queue/watch_test

and watches "/" for mount changes and the current session keyring for key
changes:

	# keyctl add user a a @s
	1035096409
	# keyctl unlink 1035096409 @s

producing:

	# ./watch_test
	read() = 16
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000001 sy=02 i=00000110
	KEY 2ffc2e5d change=2[linked] aux=1035096409
	read() = 16
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000001 sy=02 i=00000110
	KEY 2ffc2e5d change=3[unlinked] aux=1035096409

Other events may be produced, such as with a failing disk:

	read() = 22
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000003 sy=02 i=00000416
	USB 3-7.7 dev-reset e=0 r=0
	read() = 24
	NOTIFY[000]: ty=000002 sy=06 i=00000418
	BLOCK 00800050 e=6[critical medium] s=64000ef8

This corresponds to:

	blk_update_request: critical medium error, dev sdf, sector 1677725432 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0

in dmesg.
