This reverts commit ad7a953c52.

And commit: ("allow stripping of generated symbols under CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL")
            9bb482476c

These stripping patches has caused a set of issues:

1) People have reported compatibility issues with binutils due to
   lack of support for `--strip-unneeded-symbols' with objcopy 2.15.92.0.2
   Reported by: Wenji
2) ccache and distcc no longer works as expeced
   Reported by: Ted, Roland, + others
3) The installed modules increased a lot in size
   Reported by: Ted, Davej + others

baf48f6577 softlock: fix false panic which can occur if softlockup_thresh is reduced
At run-time, if softlockup_thresh is changed to a much lower value,
touch_timestamp is likely to be much older than the new softlock_thresh.

This will cause a false softlockup to be detected. If softlockup_panic
is enabled, the system will panic.

The fix is to touch all watchdogs before changing softlockup_thresh.

3b6f9e5cb2 perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups
Impact: New perf_counter features

A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU
whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for
a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group.  If the system
cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where
it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0
bytes read).  The group can be released from error state and made
readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE).  When we
have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able
to reset the error state on individual groups.

An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group
using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on.  The
counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there
are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups
onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement
does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can
always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on).
With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU
registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will
perturb other measurements.

Along the way this reorganizes things a little:
- is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h.
- cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on
  the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters.  Nothing was reading
  cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless.
- A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an
  exclusive group on the CPU.
- counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called
  from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task,
  where we used to have essentially the same code.
- __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing
  the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in
  the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance
  to be scheduled in.

Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that
attribute applies to the whole group.  This avoids some awkwardness in
some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other
group members get added to the context list).  If we want to relax that
restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than
to apply a new one.

This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited
and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not
propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it
should.

01d0287f06 powerpc/perf_counter: Make sure PMU gets enabled properly
This makes sure that we call the platform-specific ppc_md.enable_pmcs
function on each CPU before we try to use the PMU on that CPU.  If the
CPU goes off-line and then on-line, we need to do the enable_pmcs call
again, so we use the hw_perf_counter_setup hook to ensure that.  It gets
called as each CPU comes online, but it isn't called on the CPU that is
coming up, so this adds the CPU number as an argument to it (there were
no non-empty instances of hw_perf_counter_setup before).

This also arranges to set the pmcregs_in_use field of the lppaca (data
structure shared with the hypervisor) on each CPU when we are using the
PMU and clear it when we are not.  This allows the hypervisor to optimize
partition switches by not saving/restoring the PMU registers when we
aren't using the PMU.

01e3eb8227 Revert "sched: improve preempt debugging"
This reverts commit 7317d7b87e.

This has been reported (and bisected) by Alexey Zaytsev and
Kamalesh Babulal to produce annoying warnings during bootup
on both x86 and powerpc.

kernel_locked() is not a valid test in IRQ context (we update the
BKL's ->lock_depth and the preempt count separately and non-atomicalyy),
so we cannot put it into the generic preempt debugging checks which
can run in IRQ contexts too.

dd0e6ba22e perf_counter: Always schedule all software counters in
Software counters aren't subject to the limitations imposed by the
fixed number of hardware counter registers, so there is no reason not
to enable them all in __perf_counter_sched_in.  Previously we used to
break out of the loop when we got to a group that wouldn't fit on the
PMU; with this we continue through the list but only schedule in
software counters (or groups containing only software counters) from
there on.

9332fccded irq: initialize nr_irqs based on nr_cpu_ids
Impact: Reduce memory usage.

This is the second half of the changes to make the irq_desc_ptrs be
variable sized based on nr_cpu_ids.  This is done by adding a new
"max_nr_irqs" macro to irq_vectors.h (and a dummy in irqnr.h) to
return a max NR_IRQS value based on NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids.

This necessitated moving the define of MAX_IO_APICS to a separate
file (asm/apicnum.h) so it could be included without the baggage
of the other asm/apicdef.h declarations.

7f7ace0cda cpumask: update irq_desc to use cpumask_var_t
Impact: reduce memory usage, use new cpumask API.

Replace the affinity and pending_masks with cpumask_var_t's.  This adds
to the significant size reduction done with the SPARSE_IRQS changes.

The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are
in the include file so they can be inlined (and optimized out for the
!CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.)  [Naming chosen to be consistent with
the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration
of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.]

Includes a slight change to the declaration of struct irq_desc to embed
the pending_mask within ifdef(CONFIG_SMP) to be consistent with other
references, and some small changes to Xen.

805194c35b sched: partly revert "sched debug: remove NULL checking in print_cfs_rt_rq()"
Impact: avoid accessing NULL tg.css->cgroup

In commit 0a0db8f5c9, I removed checking
NULL tg.css->cgroup, but I realized I was wrong when I found reading
/proc/sched_debug can race with cgroup_create().

62ea9ceb17 cpumask: fix CONFIG_NUMA=y sched.c
Impact: fix panic on ia64 with NR_CPUS=1024

struct sched_domain is now a dangling structure; where we really want
static ones, we need to use static_sched_domain.

(As the FIXME in this file says, cpumask_var_t would be better, but
this code is hairy enough without trying to add initialization code to
the right places).

4eb96fcfe0 perf_counter: Add dummy perf_counter_print_debug function
Impact: minimize requirements on architectures

Currently, an architecture just enabling CONFIG_PERF_COUNTERS but not
providing any extra functions will fail to build with
perf_counter_print_debug being undefined, since we don't provide an
empty dummy definition like we do with the hw_perf_* functions.

This provides an empty dummy perf_counter_print_debug() to make it
easier for architectures to turn on CONFIG_PERF_COUNTERS.

3cbed429a9 perf_counter: Add optional hw_perf_group_sched_in arch function
Impact: extend perf_counter infrastructure

This adds an optional hw_perf_group_sched_in() arch function that enables
a whole group of counters in one go.  It returns 1 if it added the group
successfully, 0 if it did nothing (and therefore the core needs to add
the counters individually), or a negative number if an error occurred.
It should add all the counters and enable any software counters in the
group, or else add none of them and return an error.

There are a couple of related changes/improvements in the group handling
here:

* As an optimization, group_sched_out() and group_sched_in() now check the
  state of the group leader, and do nothing if the leader is not active
  or disabled.

* We now call hw_perf_save_disable/hw_perf_restore around the complete
  set of counter enable/disable calls in __perf_counter_sched_in/out,
  to give the arch code the opportunity to defer updating the hardware
  state until the hw_perf_restore call if it wants.

* We no longer stop adding groups after we get to a group that has more
  than one counter.  We will ultimately add an option for a group to be
  exclusive.  The current code doesn't really implement exclusive groups
  anyway, since a group could end up going on with other counters that
  get added before it.

9abf8a08bc perf_counter: Fix the cpu_clock software counter
Impact: bug fix

Currently if you do (e.g.) timec -e -1 ls, it will report 0 for the
value of the cpu_clock counter.  The reason is that the core assumes
that a counter's count field is up-to-date when the counter is inactive,
and doesn't call the counter's read function.  However, the cpu_clock
counter code only updates the count in the read function.

This fixes it by making both the read and disable functions update the
count.  It also makes the counter ignore time passing while the counter
is disabled, by making the enable function update the hw.prev_count field.

ff6f05416e perf_counter: Fix return value from dummy hw_perf_counter_init
Impact: fix oops-causing bug

Currently, if you try to use perf_counters on an architecture that has
no hardware support, and you select an event that doesn't map to any of
the defined software counters, you get an oops rather than an error.
This is because the dummy hw_perf_counter_init returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)
but the caller (perf_counter_alloc) only tests for NULL.

This makes the dummy hw_perf_counter_init return NULL instead.

61bce0f137 pid: generalize task_active_pid_ns
Currently task_active_pid_ns is not safe to call after a task becomes a
zombie and exit_task_namespaces is called, as nsproxy becomes NULL.  By
reading the pid namespace from the pid of the task we can trivially solve
this problem at the cost of one extra memory read in what should be the
same cacheline as we read the namespace from.

When moving things around I have made task_active_pid_ns out of line
because keeping it in pid_namespace.h would require adding includes of
pid.h and sched.h that I don't think we want.

This change does make task_active_pid_ns unsafe to call during
copy_process until we attach a pid on the task_struct which seems to be a
reasonable trade off.

f5813d9427 cpusets: set task's cpu_allowed to cpu_possible_map when attaching it into top cpuset
I found a bug on my dual-cpu box.  I created a sub cpuset in top cpuset
and assign 1 to its cpus.  And then we attach some tasks into this sub
cpuset.  After this, we offline CPU1.  Now, the tasks in this new cpuset
are moved into top cpuset automatically because there is no cpu in sub
cpuset.  Then we online CPU1, we find all the tasks which doesn't belong
to top cpuset originally just run on CPU0.

We fix this bug by setting task's cpu_allowed to cpu_possible_map when
attaching it into top cpuset.  This method needn't modify the current
behavior of cpusets on CPU hotplug, and all of tasks in top cpuset use
cpu_possible_map to initialize their cpu_allowed.

e7c5ec9193 cgroups: add css_tryget()
Add css_tryget(), that obtains a counted reference on a CSS.  It is used
in situations where the caller has a "weak" reference to the CSS, i.e.
one that does not protect the cgroup from removal via a reference count,
but would instead be cleaned up by a destroy() callback.

css_tryget() will return true on success, or false if the cgroup is being
removed.

This is similar to Kamezawa Hiroyuki's patch from a week or two ago, but
with the difference that in the event of css_tryget() racing with a
cgroup_rmdir(), css_tryget() will only return false if the cgroup really
does get removed.

This implementation is done by biasing css->refcnt, so that a refcnt of 1
means "releasable" and 0 means "released or releasing".  In the event of a
race, css_tryget() distinguishes between "released" and "releasing" by
checking for the CSS_REMOVED flag in css->flags.

999cd8a450 cgroups: add a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutex
These patches introduce new locking/refcount support for cgroups to
reduce the need for subsystems to call cgroup_lock(). This will
ultimately allow the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() (which was removed
recently) to be restored.

These three patches give:

1/3 - introduce a per-subsystem hierarchy_mutex which a subsystem can
     use to prevent changes to its own cgroup tree

2/3 - use hierarchy_mutex in place of calling cgroup_lock() in the
     memory controller

3/3 - introduce a css_tryget() function similar to the one recently
      proposed by Kamezawa, but avoiding spurious refcount failures in
      the event of a race between a css_tryget() and an unsuccessful
      cgroup_rmdir()

Future patches will likely involve:

- using hierarchy mutex in place of cgroup_lock() in more subsystems
 where appropriate

- restoring the atomicity of cgroup_rmdir() with respect to cgroup_create()

This patch:

Add a hierarchy_mutex to the cgroup_subsys object that protects changes to
the hierarchy observed by that subsystem.  It is taken by the cgroup
subsystem (in addition to cgroup_mutex) for the following operations:

- linking a cgroup into that subsystem's cgroup tree
- unlinking a cgroup from that subsystem's cgroup tree
- moving the subsystem to/from a hierarchy (including across the
  bind() callback)

Thus if the subsystem holds its own hierarchy_mutex, it can safely
traverse its own hierarchy.

28dbc4b6a0 memcg: memory cgroup resource counters for hierarchy
Add support for building hierarchies in resource counters.  Cgroups allows
us to build a deep hierarchy, but we currently don't link the resource
counters belonging to the memory controller control groups, in the same
fashion as the corresponding cgroup entries in the cgroup hierarchy.  This
patch provides the infrastructure for resource counters that have the same
hiearchy as their cgroup counter parts.

These set of patches are based on the resource counter hiearchy patches
posted by Pavel Emelianov.

NOTE: Building hiearchies is expensive, deeper hierarchies imply charging
the all the way up to the root.  It is known that hiearchies are
expensive, so the user needs to be careful and aware of the trade-offs
before creating very deep ones.

e7b80bb695 cgroups: skip processes from other namespaces when listing a cgroup
Once tasks are populated from system namespace inside cgroup, container
replaces other namespace task with 0 while listing tasks, inside
container.

Though this is expected behaviour from container end, there is no use of
showing unwanted 0s.

In this patch, we check if a process is in same namespace before loading
into pid array.

33a68ac1c1 cgroups: add inactive subsystems to rootnode.subsys_list
Though for an inactive hierarchy, we have subsys->root == &rootnode, but
rootnode's subsys_list is always empty.

This conflicts with the code in find_css_set():

	for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
		...
		if (ss->root->subsys_list.next == &ss->sibling) {
			...
		}
	}
	if (list_empty(&rootnode.subsys_list)) {
		...
	}

The above code assumes rootnode.subsys_list links all inactive
hierarchies.

7534432dcc cgroups: remove rcu_read_lock() in cgroupstats_build()
cgroup_iter_* do not need rcu_read_lock().

In cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists(), do_each_thread() and while_each_thread()
are protected by RCU, it's OK, for write_lock(&css_set_lock) implies
rcu_read_lock() in non-RT kernel.

If we need explicit rcu_read_lock(), we should add rcu_read_lock() in
cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists(), not cgroup_iter_*.

77efecd9e0 cgroups: call find_css_set() safely in cgroup_attach_task()
In cgroup_attach_task(), tsk maybe exit when we call find_css_set().  and
find_css_set() will access to invalid css_set.

This patch increases the count before get_css_set(), and decreases it
after find_css_set().

NOTE:

css_set's refcount is also taskcount, after this patch applied, taskcount
may be off-by-one WHEN cgroup_lock() is not held.  but I reviewed other
code which use taskcount, they are still correct.  No regression found by
reviewing and simply testing.

So I do not use two counters in css_set.  (one counter for taskcount, the
other for refcount.  like struct mm_struct) If this fix cause regression,
we will use two counters in css_set.

b2aa30f7bb cgroups: don't put struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU
We don't access struct cgroupfs_root in fast path, so we should not put
struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU

But the comment in struct cgroup_subsys.root confuse us.

struct cgroup_subsys.root is used in these places:

1 find_css_set(): if (ss->root->subsys_list.next == &ss->sibling)
2 rebind_subsystems(): if (ss->root != &rootnode)
                       rcu_assign_pointer(ss->root, root);
                       rcu_assign_pointer(subsys[i]->root, &rootnode);
3 cgroup_has_css_refs(): if (ss->root != cgrp->root)
4 cgroup_init_subsys(): ss->root = &rootnode;
5 proc_cgroupstats_show(): ss->name, ss->root->subsys_bits,
                           ss->root->number_of_cgroups, !ss->disabled);
6 cgroup_clone(): root = subsys->root;
                  if ((root != subsys->root) ||

All these place we have held cgroup_lock() or we don't dereference to
struct cgroupfs_root.  It's means wo don't need RCU when use struct
cgroup_subsys.root, and we should not put struct cgroupfs_root protected
by RCU.

2019f634ce cgroups: fix cgroup_iter_next() bug
We access res->cgroups without the task_lock(), so res->cgroups may be
changed.  it's unreliable, and "if (l == &res->cgroups->tasks)" may be
false forever.

We don't need add any lock for fixing this bug.  we just access to struct
css_set by struct cg_cgroup_link, not by struct task_struct.

Since we hold css_set_lock, struct cg_cgroup_link is reliable.

dd8632a12e NOMMU: Make mmap allocation page trimming behaviour configurable.
NOMMU mmap allocates a piece of memory for an mmap that's rounded up in size to
the nearest power-of-2 number of pages.  Currently it then discards the excess
pages back to the page allocator, making that memory available for use by other
things.  This can, however, cause greater amount of fragmentation.

To counter this, a sysctl is added in order to fine-tune the trimming
behaviour.  The default behaviour remains to trim pages aggressively, while
this can either be disabled completely or set to a higher page-granular
watermark in order to have finer-grained control.

8feae13110 NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux
Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux.  This solves two problems:

 (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
     shmat's (and forks) done.

 (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
     exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
     that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
     process or a dead process.

A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.

This patch makes the following additional changes:

 (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
     with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite.  Instead,
     each page has a reference on it held by the region.  Anything else that is
     interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
     When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
     put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.

 (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
     made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.

 (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists.  As an MM may
     end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
     appended to the sort key.

 (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.

 (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
     the backing region.  The VMA and region structs will be split if
     necessary.

 (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
     segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss.  Multiple
     shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
     virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.

 (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.

 (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
     that aren't actually mapped anywhere.

 (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
     of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
     mapped directly.  These are copies of the backing device or file if not
     anonymous.

These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode.  The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

c9d557c19f rcu: fix bug in rcutorture system-shutdown code
This patch fixes an rcutorture bug found by Eric Sesterhenn that
resulted in oopses in response to "rmmod rcutorture".  The problem
was in some new code that attempted to handle the case where a system
is shut down while rcutorture is still running, for example, when
rcutorture is built into the kernel so that it cannot be removed.
The fix causes the rcutorture threads to "park" in an
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT) rather than
trying to get them to terminate cleanly.  Concurrent shutdown and
rmmod is illegal.

I believe that this is 2.6.29 material, as it is used in some testing
setups.

For reference, here are the rcutorture operating modes:

CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=m

	This is the normal rcutorture build.  Use "modprobe rcutorture"
	(with optional arguments) to start, and "rmmod rcutorture" to
	stop.  If you shut the system down without doing the rmmod, you
	should see console output like:

	rcutorture thread rcu_torture_writer parking due to system shutdown

	One for each rcutorture kthread.

CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=n

	Use this if you want rcutorture built in, but don't want the
	test to start running during early boot.  To start the
	torturing:

		echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable

	To stop the torturing, s/1/0/

	You will get "parking" console messages as noted above when
	you shut the system down.

CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=y

	Same as above, except that the torturing starts during early
	boot.  Only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach.
	The same /proc entry noted above may be used to control the
	test.

a0e280e0f3 stop_machine/cpu hotplug: fix disable_nonboot_cpus
disable_nonboot_cpus calls _cpu_down. But _cpu_down requires that the
caller already created the stop_machine workqueue (like cpu_down does).
Otherwise a call to stop_machine will lead to accesses to random memory
regions.

When introducing this new interface (9ea09af3bd
"stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy") I missed the second
call site of _cpu_down.
So add the missing stop_machine_create/destroy calls to disable_nonboot_cpus
as well.

e8de1481fd resource: allow MMIO exclusivity for device drivers
Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.

This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.

In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.

490dea45d0 itimers: remove the per-cpu-ish-ness
Either we bounce once cacheline per cpu per tick, yielding n^2 bounces
or we just bounce a single..

Also, using per-cpu allocations for the thread-groups complicates the
per-cpu allocator in that its currently aimed to be a fixed sized
allocator and the only possible extention to that would be vmap based,
which is seriously constrained on 32 bit archs.

So making the per-cpu memory requirement depend on the number of
processes is an issue.

Lastly, it didn't deal with cpu-hotplug, although admittedly that might
be fixable.

22a9d64567 async: Asynchronous function calls to speed up kernel boot
Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that
various hardware delays are done sequentially.

In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces
infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps
asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays
in practice.

In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this
patch does NOT do full parallel initialization.

Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may
be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects
(instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.

Strictly speaking we'll not deadlock, because ttwu will not be able to

These requests can come from device drivers that have no idea how big the

0bef3c2dc7 dma_alloc_from_coherent(): fix fallback to generic memory
If bitmap_find_free_region() fails and DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE is not set,
the function will fail to write anything to *ret and will return 1.             This will cause dma_alloc_coherent() to return an uninitialised value,
crashing the kernel, perhaps via DMA to a random address.

Fix that by changing it to return zero in this case, so the caller will
proceed to allocate the memory from the generic memory allocator.

POSIX requires the si_pid to be the process id of the sender, so ->si_pid

	  cannot be used to identify the thread that did the re-parent since

a06f6211ef module: add within_module_core() and within_module_init()
This series of patches allows kprobes to probe module's __init and __exit
functions.  This means, you can probe driver initialization and
terminating.

Currently, kprobes can't probe __init function because these functions are
freed after module initialization.  And it also can't probe module __exit
functions because kprobe increments reference count of target module and
user can't unload it.  this means __exit functions never be called unless
removing probes from the module.

To solve both cases, this series of patches introduces GONE flag and sets
it when the target code is freed(for this purpose, kprobes hooks
MODULE_STATE_* events).  This also removes refcount incrementing for
allowing user to unload target module.  Users can check which probes are
GONE by debugfs interface.  For taking timing of freeing module's .init
text, these also include a patch which adds module's notifier of
MODULE_STATE_LIVE event.

This patch:

Add within_module_core() and within_module_init() for checking whether an
address is in the module .init.text section or .text section, and replace
within() local inline functions in kernel/module.c with them.

kprobes uses these functions to check where the kprobe is inserted.

bc2f70151f kprobes: bugfix: try_module_get even if calling_mod is NULL
When someone called register_*probe() from kernel-core code(not from
module) and that probes a kernel module, users can remove the probed
module because kprobe doesn't increment reference counter of the module.
(on the other hand, if the kernel-module calls register_*probe, kprobe
increments refcount of the probed module.)

Currently, we have no register_*probe() calling from kernel-core(except
smoke-test, but the smoke-test doesn't probe module), so there is no real
bugs.  But the logic is wrong(or not fair) and it can causes a problem
when someone might want to probe module from kernel.

After this patch is applied, even if someone put register_*probe() call in
the kernel-core code, it increments the reference counter of the probed
module, and it prevents user to remove the module until stopping probing
it.

e3d5a27d58 Allow times and time system calls to return small negative values
At the moment, the times() system call will appear to fail for a period
shortly after boot, while the value it want to return is between -4095 and
-1.  The same thing will also happen for the time() system call on 32-bit
platforms some time in 2106 or so.

On some platforms, such as x86, this is unavoidable because of the system
call ABI, but other platforms such as powerpc have a separate error
indication from the return value, so system calls can in fact return small
negative values without indicating an error.  On those platforms,
force_successful_syscall_return() provides a way to indicate that the
system call return value should not be treated as an error even if it is
in the range which would normally be taken as a negative error number.

This adds a force_successful_syscall_return() call to the time() and
times() system calls plus their 32-bit compat versions, so that they don't
erroneously indicate an error on those platforms whose system call ABI has
a separate error indication.  This will not affect anything on other
platforms.

Joakim Tjernlund added the fix for time() and the compat versions of
time() and times(), after I did the fix for times().

901608d904 mm: introduce get_mm_hiwater_xxx(), fix taskstats->hiwater_xxx accounting
xacct_add_tsk() relies on do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() and uses
mm->hiwater_xxx directly, this leads to 2 problems:

- taskstats_user_cmd() can call fill_pid()->xacct_add_tsk() at any
  moment before the task exits, so we should check the current values of
  rss/vm anyway.

- do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls are racy.  An exiting thread can
  be preempted right before mm->hiwater_xxx = new_val, and another thread
  can use A_LOT of memory and exit in between.  When the first thread
  resumes it can be the last thread in the thread group, in that case we
  report the wrong hiwater_xxx values which do not take A_LOT into
  account.

Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() helpers and change
xacct_add_tsk() to use them.  The first helper will also be used by
rusage->ru_maxrss accounting.

Kill do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls.  Unless we are going to
decrease rss/vm there is no point to update mm->hiwater_xxx, and nobody
can look at this mm_struct when exit_mmap() actually unmaps the memory.

2da02997e0 mm: add dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes sysctls
This change introduces two new sysctls to /proc/sys/vm:
dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes.

dirty_background_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_background_ratio and
dirty_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_ratio.

With growing memory capacities of individual machines, it's no longer
sufficient to specify dirty thresholds as a percentage of the amount of
dirtyable memory over the entire system.

dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes specify quantities of memory, in
bytes, that represent the dirty limits for the entire system.  If either
of these values is set, its value represents the amount of dirty memory
that is needed to commence either background or direct writeback.

When a `bytes' or `ratio' file is written, its counterpart becomes a
function of the written value.  For example, if dirty_bytes is written to
be 8096, 8K of memory is required to commence direct writeback.
dirty_ratio is then functionally equivalent to 8K / the amount of
dirtyable memory:

	dirtyable_memory = free pages + mapped pages + file cache

	dirty_background_bytes = dirty_background_ratio * dirtyable_memory
		-or-
	dirty_background_ratio = dirty_background_bytes / dirtyable_memory

		AND

	dirty_bytes = dirty_ratio * dirtyable_memory
		-or-
	dirty_ratio = dirty_bytes / dirtyable_memory

Only one of dirty_background_bytes and dirty_background_ratio may be
specified at a time, and only one of dirty_bytes and dirty_ratio may be
specified.  When one sysctl is written, the other appears as 0 when read.

The `bytes' files operate on a page size granularity since dirty limits
are compared with ZVC values, which are in page units.

Prior to this change, the minimum dirty_ratio was 5 as implemented by
get_dirty_limits() although /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio would show any user
written value between 0 and 100.  This restriction is maintained, but
dirty_bytes has a lower limit of only one page.

Also prior to this change, the dirty_background_ratio could not equal or
exceed dirty_ratio.  This restriction is maintained in addition to
restricting dirty_background_bytes.  If either background threshold equals
or exceeds that of the dirty threshold, it is implicitly set to half the
dirty threshold.

cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks() was brought in to support the memrlimit
controller, but sneaked into mainline ahead of it.  That controller has
now been shelved, and the mm_owner_changed() args were inadequate for it
anyway (they needed an mm pointer instead of a task pointer).

Remove the dead code, and restore mm_update_next_owner() locking to how it
was before: taking mmap_sem there does nothing for memcontrol.c, now the
only user of mm->owner.

3699c53c48 CRED: Fix regression in cap_capable() as shown up by sys_faccessat() [ver #3]
Fix a regression in cap_capable() due to:

	commit 3b11a1dece
	Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
	Date:   Fri Nov 14 10:39:26 2008 +1100

	    CRED: Differentiate objective and effective subjective credentials on a task

The problem is that the above patch allows a process to have two sets of
credentials, and for the most part uses the subjective credentials when
accessing current's creds.

There is, however, one exception: cap_capable(), and thus capable(), uses the
real/objective credentials of the target task, whether or not it is the current
task.

Ordinarily this doesn't matter, since usually the two cred pointers in current
point to the same set of creds.  However, sys_faccessat() makes use of this
facility to override the credentials of the calling process to make its test,
without affecting the creds as seen from other processes.

One of the things sys_faccessat() does is to make an adjustment to the
effective capabilities mask, which cap_capable(), as it stands, then ignores.

The affected capability check is in generic_permission():

	if (!(mask & MAY_EXEC) || execute_ok(inode))
		if (capable(CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE))
			return 0;

This change passes the set of credentials to be tested down into the commoncap
and SELinux code.  The security functions called by capable() and
has_capability() select the appropriate set of credentials from the process
being checked.

This can be tested by compiling the following program from the XFS testsuite:

/*
 *  t_access_root.c - trivial test program to show permission bug.
 *
 *  Written by Michael Kerrisk - copyright ownership not pursued.
 *  Sourced from: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2003-10/6030.html

    accessTest(testpath, R_OK | W_OK | X_OK, "R_OK | W_OK | X_OK");

    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
} /* main */

This can be run against an Ext3 filesystem as well as against an XFS
filesystem.  If successful, it will show:

	[root@andromeda src]# ./t_access_root /tmp/xxx 0 4043 4043
	---------- 1 dhowells dhowells 0 2008-12-31 03:00 /tmp/xxx

	access(/tmp/xxx, W_OK | X_OK) returns -1
	access(/tmp/xxx, R_OK | W_OK | X_OK) returns -1

If unsuccessful, it will show:

	[root@andromeda src]# ./t_access_root /tmp/xxx 0 4043 4043

	access(/tmp/xxx, W_OK | X_OK) returns -1
	access(/tmp/xxx, R_OK | W_OK | X_OK) returns -1

I've also tested the fix with the SELinux and syscalls LTP testsuites.

90a4d2c010 rcu: make treercu safe for suspend and resume
Impact: fix kernel warnings [and potential crash] during suspend+resume

Kudos to both Dhaval Giani and Jens Axboe for finding a bug in treercu
that causes warnings after suspend-resume cycles in Dhaval's case and
during stress tests in Jens's case.  It would also probably cause failures
if heavily stressed.  The solution, ironically enough, is to revert to
rcupreempt's code for initializing the dynticks state.  And the patch
even results in smaller code -- so what was I thinking???

This is 2.6.29 material, given that people really do suspend and resume
Linux these days.  ;-)

c12172c025 rcu: fix rcutree grace-period-latency bug on small systems
Impact: fix delays during bootup

Kudos to Andi Kleen for finding a grace-period-latency problem!  The
problem was that the special-case code for small machines never updated
the ->signaled field to indicate that grace-period initialization had
completed, which prevented force_quiescent_state() from ever expediting
grace periods.  This problem resulted in grace periods extending for more
than 20 seconds.  Not subtle.  I introduced this bug during my inspection
process when I fixed a race between grace-period initialization and
force_quiescent_state() execution.

The following patch properly updates the ->signaled field for the
"small"-system case (no more than 32 CPUs for 32-bit kernels and no more
than 64 CPUs for 64-bit kernels).

14eaddc967 CRED: Fix regression in cap_capable() as shown up by sys_faccessat() [ver #2]
Fix a regression in cap_capable() due to:

	commit 5ff7711e635b32f0a1e558227d030c7e45b4a465
	Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
	Date:   Wed Dec 31 02:52:28 2008 +0000

	    CRED: Differentiate objective and effective subjective credentials on a task

The problem is that the above patch allows a process to have two sets of
credentials, and for the most part uses the subjective credentials when
accessing current's creds.

There is, however, one exception: cap_capable(), and thus capable(), uses the
real/objective credentials of the target task, whether or not it is the current
task.

Ordinarily this doesn't matter, since usually the two cred pointers in current
point to the same set of creds.  However, sys_faccessat() makes use of this
facility to override the credentials of the calling process to make its test,
without affecting the creds as seen from other processes.

One of the things sys_faccessat() does is to make an adjustment to the
effective capabilities mask, which cap_capable(), as it stands, then ignores.

The affected capability check is in generic_permission():

	if (!(mask & MAY_EXEC) || execute_ok(inode))
		if (capable(CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE))
			return 0;

This change splits capable() from has_capability() down into the commoncap and
SELinux code.  The capable() security op now only deals with the current
process, and uses the current process's subjective creds.  A new security op -
task_capable() - is introduced that can check any task's objective creds.

strictly the capable() security op is superfluous with the presence of the
task_capable() op, however it should be faster to call the capable() op since
two fewer arguments need be passed down through the various layers.

This can be tested by compiling the following program from the XFS testsuite:

/*
 *  t_access_root.c - trivial test program to show permission bug.

9ea09af3bd stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy.
Introduce stop_machine_create/destroy. With this interface subsystems
that need a non-failing stop_machine environment can create the
stop_machine machine threads before actually calling stop_machine.
When the threads aren't needed anymore they can be killed with
stop_machine_destroy again.

When stop_machine gets called and the threads aren't present they
will be created and destroyed automatically. This restores the old
behaviour of stop_machine.

This patch also converts cpu hotplug to the new interface since it
is special: cpu_down calls __stop_machine instead of stop_machine.
However the kstop threads will only be created when stop_machine
gets called.

Changing the code so that the threads would be created automatically
on __stop_machine is currently not possible: when __stop_machine gets
called we hold cpu_add_remove_lock, which is the same lock that
create_rt_workqueue would take. So the workqueue needs to be created
before the cpu hotplug code locks cpu_add_remove_lock.

ca4787b779 kernel/module.c: compare symbol values when marking symbols as exported in /proc/kallsyms.
When there are two symbols in a module with the same name, one of which is
exported, both will be marked as exported in /proc/kallsyms.  There aren't
any instances of this in the current kernel, but it is easy to construct a
simple module with two compilation units that exhibits the problem.

$ objdump -j .text -t testmod.ko | grep foo
00000000 l     F .text	00000032 foo
00000080 g     F .text	00000001 foo
$ sudo insmod testmod.ko
$ grep "T foo" /proc/kallsyms
c28e8000 T foo	[testmod]
c28e8080 T foo	[testmod]

Fix this by comparing the symbol values once we've found the exported
symbol table entry matching the symbol name.  Tested using Ksplice:

$ ksplice-create --patch=this_commit.patch --id=bar .
$ sudo ksplice-apply ksplice-bar.tar.gz
Done!
$ grep "T foo" /proc/kallsyms
c28e8080 T foo	[testmod]

6ca09dfc9f sched: put back some stack hog changes that were undone in kernel/sched.c
Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines.

Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using
node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and
causes a panic due to stack overflow.  This patch undoes those changes
by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'.

In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further
reducing stack usage.  (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!)

Also:
   Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to
   the new 'struct cpumask *' functions.

   Optimize memory traffic by allocating each percpu local_cpu_mask on the
   same node as the referring cpu.

6bdf197b04 ia64: cpumask fix for is_affinity_mask_valid()
Impact: build fix on ia64

ia64's default_affinity_write() still had old cpumask_t usage:

 /home/mingo/tip/kernel/irq/proc.c: In function `default_affinity_write':
 /home/mingo/tip/kernel/irq/proc.c:114: error: incompatible type for argument 1 of `is_affinity_mask_valid'
 make[3]: *** [kernel/irq/proc.o] Error 1
 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

update it to cpumask_var_t.

263ec6457b cpumask: convert RCU implementations, fix
Impact: cleanup

This warning:

 kernel/rcuclassic.c: In function ‘rcu_start_batch’:
 kernel/rcuclassic.c:397: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘cpumask_andnot’ from incompatible pointer type

triggers because one usage site of rcp->cpumask was not converted
to to_cpumask(rcp->cpumask). There's no ill effects of this bug.
