ae7edecc9b [PATCH] sysctl: keep track of tree relationships
In a sense, that's the heart of the series.  It's based on the following
property of the trees we are actually asked to add: they can be split into
stem that is already covered by registered trees and crown that is entirely
new.  IOW, if a/b and a/c/d are introduced by our tree, then a/c is also
introduced by it.

That allows to associate tree and table entry with each node in the union;
while directory nodes might be covered by many trees, only one will cover
the node by its crown.  And that will allow much saner logics for /proc/sys
in the next patches.  This patch introduces the data structures needed to
keep track of that.

When adding a sysctl table, we find a "parent" one.  Which is to say,
find the deepest node on its stem that already is present in one of the
tables from our table set or its ancestor sets.  That table will be our
parent and that node in it - attachment point.  Add our table to list
anchored in parent, have it refer the parent and contents of attachment
point.  Also remember where its crown lives.

bd7b1533cd [PATCH] sysctl: make sure that /proc/sys/net/ipv4 appears before per-ns ones
Massage ipv4 initialization - make sure that net.ipv4 appears as
non-per-net-namespace before it shows up in per-net-namespace sysctls.
That's the only change outside of sysctl.c needed to get sane ordering
rules and data structures for sysctls (esp. for procfs side of that
mess).

f7e6ced406 [PATCH] allow delayed freeing of ctl_table_header
Refcount the sucker; instead of freeing it by the end of unregistration
just drop the refcount and free only when it hits zero.  Make sure that
we _always_ make ->unregistering non-NULL in start_unregistering().

That allows anybody to get a reference to such puppy, preventing its
freeing and reuse.  It does *not* block unregistration.  Anybody who
holds such a reference can
	* try to grab a "use" reference (ctl_head_grab()); that will
succeeds if and only if it hadn't entered unregistration yet.  If it
succeeds, we can use it in all normal ways until we release the "use"
reference (with ctl_head_finish()).  Note that this relies on having
->unregistering become non-NULL in all cases when one starts to unregister
the sucker.
	* keep pointers to ctl_table entries; they *can* be freed if
the entire thing is unregistered.  However, if ctl_head_grab() succeeds,
we know that unregistration had not happened (and will not happen until
ctl_head_finish()) and such pointers can be used safely.

IOW, now we can have inodes under /proc/sys keep references to ctl_table
entries, protecting them with references to ctl_table_header and
grabbing the latter for the duration of operations that require access
to ctl_table.  That won't cause deadlocks, since unregistration will not
be stopped by mere keeping a reference to ctl_table_header.

734550921e [PATCH] beginning of sysctl cleanup - ctl_table_set
New object: set of sysctls [currently - root and per-net-ns].
Contains: pointer to parent set, list of tables and "should I see this set?"

that to ->list of that ctl_table_set.

f4b7f927b5 mmc: Add per-card debugfs support
For each card successfully added to the bus, create a subdirectory under
the host's debugfs root with information about the card.

At the moment, only a single file is added to the card directory for
all cards: "state". It reflects the "state" field in struct mmc_card,
indicating whether the card is present, readonly, etc.

For MMC and SD cards (not SDIO), another file is added: "status".
Reading this file will ask the card about its current status and
return it. This can be useful if the card just refuses to respond to
any commands, which might indicate that the card state is not what the
MMC core thinks it is (due to a missing stop command, for example.)

When CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is set, create a few files under /sys/kernel/debug
containing information about an mmc host's internal state. Currently,
just a single file is created, "ios", which contains information about

Host drivers can add additional files and directories under the host's
root directory by passing the debugfs_root field in struct mmc_host as
the 'parent' parameter to debugfs_create_*.

db007fc5e2 [SCSI] Command protection operation
Controllers that support DMA of protection information must be told
explicitly how to handle the I/O.  The controller has no knowledge of
the protection capabilities of the target device so this information
must be passed in the scsi_cmnd.

 - The protection operation tells the HBA whether to generate, strip or
   verify protection information.

 - The protection type tells the HBA which layout the target is
   formatted with.  This is necessary because the controller must be
   able to correctly interpret the included protection information in
   order to verify it.

 - When a scsi_cmnd is reused for error handling the protection
   operation must be cleared and saved while error handling is in
   progress.

 - prot_op and prot_type are placed in an existing hole in scsi_cmnd
   and don't cause the structure to grow.

user debugging/tracing.  This is not used yet, but it lays the groundwork
for a debugger to be able to wrangle a task that's possibly running,

Each arch should define TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and in their entry.S code treat
it much like TIF_SIGPENDING.  That is, it causes you to take the slow path
when returning to user mode, where you get the full user-mode state
accessible as for signal handling or ptrace.  The arch code should check
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME after handling TIF_SIGPENDING.  When it's set, clear it
and then call tracehook_notify_resume().

In future, tracing code will call set_notify_resume() when it wants to get
a callback in tracehook_notify_resume().

dae33574dc tracehook: release_task
This moves the ptrace-related logic from release_task into tracehook.h and
ptrace.h inlines.  It provides clean hooks both before and after locking
tasklist_lock, for future tracing logic to do more cleanup without the
lock.

This also changes release_task() itself in the rare "zap_leader" case to
set the leader to EXIT_DEAD before iterating.  This maintains the
invariant that release_task() only ever handles a task in EXIT_DEAD.  This
is a common-sense invariant that is already always true except in this one
arcane case of zombie leader whose parent ignores SIGCHLD.

This change is harmless and only costs one store in this one rare case.
It keeps the expected state more consisently sane, which is nicer when
debugging weirdness in release_task().  It also lets some future code in
the tracehook entry points rely on this invariant for bookkeeping.

88ac2921a7 tracehook: add linux/tracehook.h
This patch series introduces the "tracehook" interface layer of inlines in
<linux/tracehook.h>.  There are more details in the log entry for patch
01/23 and in the header file comments inside that patch.  Most of these
changes move code around with little or no change, and they should not
break anything or change any behavior.

This sets a new standard for uniform arch support to enable clean
arch-independent implementations of new debugging and tracing stuff,
denoted by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK.  Patch 20/23 adds that symbol to
arch/Kconfig, with comments listing everything an arch has to do before
setting "select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK".  These are elaborted a bit at:

	http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/arch/HowTo

The new inlines that arch code must define or call have detailed kerneldoc
comments in the generic header files that say what is required.

No arch is obligated to do any work, and no arch's build should be broken
by these changes.  There are several steps that each arch should take so
it can set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK.  Most of these are simple.  Providing this
support will let new things people add for doing debugging and tracing of
user-level threads "just work" for your arch in the future.  For an arch
that does not provide HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK, some new options for such
features will not be available for config.

I have done some arch work and will submit this to the arch maintainers
after the generic tracehook series settles in.  For now, that work is
available in my GIT repositories, and in patch and mbox-of-patches form at
http://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/2.6-current/

This paves the way for my "utrace" work, to be submitted later.  But it is
not innately tied to that.  I hope that the tracehook series can go in
soon regardless of what eventually does or doesn't go on top of it.  For
anyone implementing any kind of new tracing/debugging plan, or just
understanding all the context of the existing ptrace implementation,
having tracehook.h makes things much easier to find and understand.

This patch:

This adds the new kernel-internal header file <linux/tracehook.h>.  This
is not yet used at all.  The comments in the header introduce what the
following series of patches is about.

The aim is to formalize and consolidate all the places that the core
kernel code and the arch code now ties into the ptrace implementation.

These patches mostly don't cause any functional change.  They just move
the details of ptrace logic out of core code into tracehook.h inlines,
where they are mostly compiled away to the same as before.  All that
changes is that everything is thoroughly documented and any future
reworking of ptrace, or addition of something new, would not have to touch
core code all over, just change the tracehook.h inlines.

The new linux/ptrace.h inlines are used by the following patches in the
new tracehook_*() inlines.  Using these helpers for the ptrace event stops
makes it simple to change or disable the old ptrace implementation of
these stops conditionally later.

e286781d5f mm: speculative page references
If we can be sure that elevating the page_count on a pagecache page will
pin it, we can speculatively run this operation, and subsequently check to
see if we hit the right page rather than relying on holding a lock or
otherwise pinning a reference to the page.

This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the
whole tree (ie.  if we "get" the page after it has been used for something
else, we must be able to free it with a put_page).

Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the
page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page.  We need
an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page
in either case.

This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie.
adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make
it work).

Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting
page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to
hold off speculative getters.

8174c430e4 x86: lockless get_user_pages_fast()
Implement get_user_pages_fast without locking in the fastpath on x86.

Do an optimistic lockless pagetable walk, without taking mmap_sem or any
page table locks or even mmap_sem.  Page table existence is guaranteed by
turning interrupts off (combined with the fact that we're always looking
up the current mm, means we can do the lockless page table walk within the
constraints of the TLB shootdown design).  Basically we can do this
lockless pagetable walk in a similar manner to the way the CPU's pagetable
walker does not have to take any locks to find present ptes.

This patch (combined with the subsequent ones to convert direct IO to use
it) was found to give about 10% performance improvement on a 2 socket 8
core Intel Xeon system running an OLTP workload on DB2 v9.5

 "To test the effects of the patch, an OLTP workload was run on an IBM
  x3850 M2 server with 2 processors (quad-core Intel Xeon processors at
  2.93 GHz) using IBM DB2 v9.5 running Linux 2.6.24rc7 kernel.  Comparing
  runs with and without the patch resulted in an overall performance
  benefit of ~9.8%.  Correspondingly, oprofiles showed that samples from
  __up_read and __down_read routines that is seen during thread contention
  for system resources was reduced from 2.8% down to .05%.  Monitoring the
  /proc/vmstat output from the patched run showed that the counter for
  fast_gup contained a very high number while the fast_gup_slow value was
  zero."

(fast_gup is the old name for get_user_pages_fast, fast_gup_slow is a
counter we had for the number of times the slowpath was invoked).

The main reason for the improvement is that DB2 has multiple threads each
issuing direct-IO.  Direct-IO uses get_user_pages, and thus the threads
contend the mmap_sem cacheline, and can also contend on page table locks.

I would anticipate larger performance gains on larger systems, however I
think DB2 uses an adaptive mix of threads and processes, so it could be
that thread contention remains pretty constant as machine size increases.
In which case, we stuck with "only" a 10% gain.

The downside of using get_user_pages_fast is that if there is not a pte
with the correct permissions for the access, we end up falling back to
get_user_pages and so the get_user_pages_fast is a bit of extra work.
However this should not be the common case in most performance critical
code.

21cc199baa mm: introduce get_user_pages_fast
Introduce a new get_user_pages_fast mm API, which is basically a
get_user_pages with a less general API (but still tends to be suited to
the common case):

- task and mm are always current and current->mm
- force is always 0
- pages is always non-NULL
- don't pass back vmas

This restricted API can be implemented in a much more scalable way on many
architectures when the ptes are present, by walking the page tables
locklessly (no mmap_sem or page table locks).  When the ptes are not
populated, get_user_pages_fast() could be slower.

This is implemented locklessly on x86, and used in some key direct IO call
sites, in later patches, which provides nearly 10% performance improvement
on a threaded database workload.

Lots of other code could use this too, depending on use cases (eg.  grep
drivers/).  And it might inspire some new and clever ways to use it.

can be initialized later.  This is useful in scenarios such as logging in
early code, before VFS is up.  Therefore, such channels can be created and

c2147a5092 Better interface for hooking early initcalls
Added early initcall (pre-SMP) support, using an identical interface to
that of regular initcalls.  Functions called from do_pre_smp_initcalls()
could be converted to use this cleaner interface.

This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register
notifiers before going SMP.  One such CPU hotplug user is the relay
interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a
notifier, to be usable in early code.  This in turn is used by kmemtrace.

89081d17f7 kexec jump: save/restore device state
This patch implements devices state save/restore before after kexec.

This patch together with features in kexec_jump patch can be used for
following:

- A simple hibernation implementation without ACPI support.  You can kexec a
  hibernating kernel, save the memory image of original system and shutdown
  the system.  When resuming, you restore the memory image of original system
  via ordinary kexec load then jump back.

- Kernel/system debug through making system snapshot.  You can make system
  snapshot, jump back, do some thing and make another system snapshot.

- Cooperative multi-kernel/system.  With kexec jump, you can switch between
  several kernels/systems quickly without boot process except the first time.
  This appears like swap a whole kernel/system out/in.

- A general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning
  off). This can be used to invoke BIOS code under Linux.

The following user-space tools can be used with kexec jump:

- kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches
  and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:

- An initramfs image can be used as the root file system of kexeced
  kernel. An initramfs image built with "BuildRoot" can be downloaded
  from the following URL:
       initramfs image: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/initramfs/rootfs_cvs_kh10.gz
  All user space tools above are included in the initramfs image.

Usage example of simple hibernation:

1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:

CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y

2. Build an initramfs image contains kexec-tool and makedumpfile, or
   download the pre-built initramfs image, called rootfs.gz in
   following text.

3. Prepare a partition to save memory image of original kernel, called
   hibernating partition in following text.

4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel A).

5. In the kernel A, load kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel B) with
   /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow:

   /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context /boot/bzImage --mem-min=0x100000
     --mem-max=0xffffff --initrd=rootfs.gz

6. Boot the kernel B with following shell command line:

   /sbin/kexec -e

7. The kernel B will boot as normal kexec. In kernel B the memory
   image of kernel A can be saved into hibernating partition as
   follow:

   jump_back_entry=`cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep kexec_jump_back_entry | cut -d '='`
   echo $jump_back_entry > kexec_jump_back_entry
   cp /proc/vmcore dump.elf

   Then you can shutdown the machine as normal.

8. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel C). Use the rootfs.gz as
   root file system.

9. In kernel C, load the memory image of kernel A as follow:

   /sbin/kexec -l --args-none --entry=`cat kexec_jump_back_entry` dump.elf

10. Jump back to the kernel A as follow:

   /sbin/kexec -e

   Then, kernel A is resumed.

Implementation point:

To support jumping between two kernels, before jumping to (executing)
the new kernel and jumping back to the original kernel, the devices
are put into quiescent state, and the state of devices and CPU is
saved. After jumping back from kexeced kernel and jumping to the new
kernel, the state of devices and CPU are restored accordingly. The
devices/CPU state save/restore code of software suspend is called to
implement corresponding function.

Known issues:

- Because the segment number supported by sys_kexec_load is limited,
  hibernation image with many segments may not be load. This is
  planned to be eliminated by adding a new flag to sys_kexec_load to
  make a image can be loaded with multiple sys_kexec_load invoking.

Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

3ab8352137 kexec jump
This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump.  It implements the
following features:

- Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after
  kexec.

- Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.

The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in
physical mode (paging turning off).  This can be used to call BIOS code under
Linux.

kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and
the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:

       source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10

Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return:

1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:

CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y

2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one.

3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode"

4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1.

5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command
   line can be as follow:

   /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode

6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line:

   /sbin/kexec -e

Implementation point:

To support jumping without reserving memory.  One shadow backup page (source
page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination
page).  When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source
pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are
swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped.  Before jumping
to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the
destination pages and the source pages are swapped too.

C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between
kernel and called code.

A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to
indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.

Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

1956a96de4 x86 calgary: fix handling of devices that aren't behind the Calgary
The calgary code can give drivers addresses above 4GB which is very bad
for hardware that is only 32bit DMA addressable.

With this patch, the calgary code sets the global dma_ops to swiotlb or
nommu properly, and the dma_ops of devices behind the Calgary/CalIOC2
to calgary_dma_ops.  So the calgary code can handle devices safely that
aren't behind the Calgary/CalIOC2.

8d8bb39b9e dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:

This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).

I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread).  So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp.  Comments are appreciated.

A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added.  If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it.  If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.

If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging).  It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.

The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations.  So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device.  Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.

The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error.  The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.

This patch:

dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations.  So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.

Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function.  x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

Due to the addition of __attribute__((__cold__)) to a few symbols
without adjusting the linker scripts, those symbols currently may end
up outside the [_stext,_etext) range, as they get placed in
.text.unlikely by (at least) gcc 4.3.0. This may confuse code not only
outside of the kernel, symbol_put_addr()'s BUG() could also trigger.
Hence we need to add .text.unlikely (and for future uses of

This revealed a long standing bug where "make headers_check_all"
relied on the files in asm/ for the current architecture.
So make headers_check_all is now broken by this commit.

In addition:

o add a simpler way to detect if an arch support
  exporting header files.

o add 'set -e;' so we error out early if
  make headers_check_all fails.

o add sparc64 and cris to arch we do not process
  in make headers_*_all because:

    sparc64 - use sparc to export headers
    cris    - is know seriously broken

8f421c595a edac: i5100 new intel chipset driver
Preliminary support for the Intel 5100 MCH.  CE and UE errors are reported
along with the current DIMM label information and other memory parameters.

Reasons why this is preliminary:

1) This chip has 2 independent memory controllers which, for best
   perforance, use interleaved accesses to the DDR2 memory.  This
   architecture does not map very well to the current edac data structures
   which depend on symmetric channel access to the interleaved data.
   Without core changes, the best I could do for now is to map both memory
   controllers to different csrows (first all ranks of controller 0, then
   all ranks of controller 1).  Someone much more familiar with the edac
   core than I will probably need to come up with a more general data
   structure to handle the interleaving and de-interleaving of the two
   memory controllers.

2) I have not yet tackled the de-interleaving of the rank/controller
   address space into the physical address space of the CPU.  There is
   nothing fundamentally missing, it is just ending up to be a lot of
   code, and I'd rather keep it separate for now, esp since it doesn't
   work yet...

3) The code depends on a particular i5100 chip select to DIMM mainboard
   chip select mapping.  This mapping seems obvious to me in order to
   support dual and single ranked memory, but it is not unique and DIMM
   labels could be wrong on other mainboards.  There is no way to query
   this mapping that I know of.

4) The code requires that the i5100 is in 32GB mode.  Only 4 ranks per
   controller, 2 ranks per DIMM are supported.  I do not have hardware
   (nor do I expect to have hardware anytime soon) for the 48GB (6 ranks
   per controller) mode.

5) The serial presence detect code should be broken out into a "real"
   i2c driver so that decode-dimms.pl can work.

33670fa296 fuse: nfs export special lookups
Implement the get_parent export operation by sending a LOOKUP request with
".." as the name.

Implement looking up an inode by node ID after it has been evicted from
the cache.  This is done by seding a LOOKUP request with "." as the name
(for all file types, not just directories).

The filesystem can set the FUSE_EXPORT_SUPPORT flag in the INIT reply, to
indicate that it supports these special lookups.

Thanks to John Muir for the original implementation of this feature.

bde74e4bc6 locks: add special return value for asynchronous locks
Use a special error value FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED to mean that a locking
operation returned asynchronously.  This is returned by

  posix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been
  queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become
  available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops->fl_notify() is
  called or fl_wait is woken up).

  f_op->lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will
  call back with fl_lmops->fl_grant() when the result of the locking
  operation is known.  The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well
  as non-sleeping locks.

This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by
filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking.

This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly
cleaner.

873b477177 per-task-delay-accounting: add memory reclaim delay
Sometimes, application responses become bad under heavy memory load.
Applications take a bit time to reclaim memory.  The statistics, how long
memory reclaim takes, will be useful to measure memory usage.

This patch adds accounting memory reclaim to per-task-delay-accounting for
accounting the time of do_try_to_free_pages().

<i.e>

- When System is under low memory load,
  memory reclaim may not occur.

$ free

In this case, one process uses more 8G memory
by execution of malloc() and memset().

$ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat

RECLAIM         count    delay total
                  740    61011951153

In the later case, the value of RECLAIM is increasing.
So, taskstats can show how much memory reclaim influences TAT.

297c5d9263 task IO accounting: provide distinct tgid/tid I/O statistics
Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate
parent I/O statistics in /proc/pid/io.  This approach follows the same
model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times.

As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the top
I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform the
actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be found
in /proc/pid/io.

[ Oleg Nesterov points out that we should check that the task is still
  alive before we iterate over the threads, but also says that we can do
  that fixup on top of this later.  - Linus ]

Allocate the structure on the first call to sys_acct().  After this each
namespace, that ordered the accounting, will live with this structure till
its own death.

Two notes
- routines, that close the accounting on fs umount time use
  the init_pid_ns's acct by now;
- accounting routine accounts to dying task's namespace
  (also by now).
