Now we have at least x86 support for ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT merged and arm and others on their way. Changes in v4: * just rebase and corrections on linux-next/master Changes in v3: * SoB chain corrected * minor corrections based on v2 feedback * rebase on linux-next/master as of today Changes in v2: * dropped already merged patches * rebase on top of linux-next/master * Now by default refcount_t = atomic_t (*) and uses all atomic standard operations unless CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL is enabled. This is a compromise for the systems that are critical on performance (such as net) and cannot accept even slight delay on the refcounter operations. This series, for core kernel components, replaces atomic_t reference counters with the new refcount_t type and API (see include/linux/refcount.h). By doing this we prevent intentional or accidental underflows or overflows that can led to use-after-free vulnerabilities. The patches are fully independent and can be cherry-picked separately. If there are no objections to the patches, please merge them via respective trees.
