6b49a25785 [PATCH] sysctl: fix sys_sysctl interface of ipc sysctls
Currently there is a regression and the ipc sysctls don't show up in the
binary sysctl namespace.

This patch adds sysctl_ipc_data to read data/write from the appropriate
namespace and deliver it in the expected manner.

9bc9a6bd3c [PATCH] sysctl: simplify ipc ns specific sysctls
Refactor the ipc sysctl support so that it is simpler, more readable, and
prepares for fixing the bug with the wrong values being returned in the
sys_sysctl interface.

The function proc_do_ipc_string() was misnamed as it never handled strings.
It's magic of when to work with strings and when to work with longs belonged
in the sysctl table.  I couldn't tell if the code would work if you disabled
the ipc namespace but it certainly looked like it would have problems.

c4b8b769fa [PATCH] sysctl: implement sysctl_uts_string()
The problem: When using sys_sysctl we don't read the proper values for the
variables exported from the uts namespace, nor do we do the proper locking.

This patch introduces sysctl_uts_string which properly fetches the values and
does the proper locking.

cf9f151c72 [PATCH] sysctl: simplify sysctl_uts_string
The binary interface to the namespace sysctls was never implemented resulting
in some really weird things if you attempted to use sys_sysctl to read your
hostname for example.

This patch series simples the code a little and implements the binary sysctl
interface.

In testing this patch series I discovered that our 32bit compatibility for the
binary sysctl interface is imperfect.  In particular KERN_SHMMAX and
KERN_SMMALL are size_t sized quantities and are returned as 8 bytes on to
32bit binaries using a x86_64 kernel.  However this has existing for a long
time so it is not a new regression with the namespace work.

Gads the whole sysctl thing needs work before it stops being easy to shoot
yourself in the foot.

Looking forward a little bit we need a better way to handle sysctls and
namespaces as our current technique will not work for the network namespace.
I think something based on the current overlapping sysctl trees will work but
the proc side needs to be redone before we can use it.

This patch:

Introduce get_uts() and put_uts() (used later) and remove most of the special
cases for when UTS namespace is compiled in.

84d737866e [PATCH] add child reaper to pid_namespace
Add a per pid_namespace child-reaper.  This is needed so processes are reaped
within the same pid space and do not spill over to the parent pid space.  Its

d63a5a74de [PATCH] lockdep: avoid lockdep warning in md
md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain.  This
(normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a
reconfig_mutex in a different device.

I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy
a deadlock could happen.  However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock
and should be fixed independently.

So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock.  This requires defining
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.

sys_unshare(CLONE_SIGHAND) is broken, the code under 'if (new_sigh)' is

24ec839c43 [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking
Fix the locking of signal->tty.

Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand.  And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.

(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)

Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid.  Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles.  This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).

It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.

(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
       be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
       it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
       invocations)

It comes from:

[kernel/irq/migration.c]
  26         if (CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU(desc->status)) {
  27                 WARN_ON(1);
  28                 return;
  29         }

By putting some printk in kernel, I found that irqbalance is trying to
move CPEI which is handled as PER_CPU irq. That's why.

CPEI(Corrected Platform Error Interrupt) is ia64 specific irq, is
allowed to pin to particular processor which selected by the platform, and
even it is PER_CPU but it has set_affinity handler (=iosapic_set_affinity)
as same as other IO-SAPIC-level interrupts. (I don't know why, but
I guess that there would be typical situation where the handler for
migration is needed, such as hotplug - the processor going to be
offline/hot-removed.)

To shut up this warning, there are 2 way at least:
 a) fix CPEI stuff
 b) prohibit setting affinity to PER_CPU irq

I'm not sure what stuff of CPEI need to be fixed, but I think that
returning error to attempting move PER_CPU irq is useful for all
applications since it will never work.

Following small patch takes b) style.
It works, the warning disappeared and irqbalance still runs well.

68380b5813 Add "run_scheduled_work()" workqueue function
This allows workqueue users to run just their own pending work, rather
than wait for the whole workqueue to finish running.  This solves the
deadlock with networking libphy that was due to other workqueue entries
possibly needing a lock that was held by the routine that wanted to
flush its own work.

It's not wonderful: if you absolutely need to synchronize with the work
function having been executed, any user strictly speaking should have
its own completion tracking logic, since when we run things explicitly
by hand, the generic workqueue layer can no longer help us synchronize.

Also, this is strictly only usable for work that has been scheduled
without any delayed timers.  You can not mix the new interface with
schedule_delayed_work().

But it's better than what we had currently.

70e4506765 [PATCH] lockdep: register_lock_class() fix
The hash_lock must only ever be taken with irqs disabled.  This happens in
all the important places, except one codepath: register_lock_class().  The
race should trigger rarely because register_lock_class() is quite rare and
single-threaded (happens during init most of the time).

The fix is to disable irqs.

( bug found live in -rt: there preemption is alot more agressive and
  preempting with the hash-lock held caused a lockup.)

The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several

then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code.

The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support
kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

3908fd2ed9 [PATCH] softirq: remove BUG_ONs which can incorrectly trigger
It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance
to spawn on all CPUs.  This is totally harmless; after success during action
CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes
softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets.  So
there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were
already pending.

In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when
using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be
decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks.  It is also
possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug.

Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and
virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu.  It is
also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd,
although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that.

bd9b0bac6f [PATCH] sysctl: string length calculated is wrong if it contains negative numbers
In the functions do_proc_dointvec() and do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(),
there seems to be a bug in string length calculation if string contains
negative integer.

The console log given below explains the bug. Setting negative values
may not be a right thing to do for "console log level" but then the test
(given below) can be used to demonstrate the bug in the code.

# echo "-1 -1 -1 -123456" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
-1      -1      -1      -1234
#
# echo "-1 -1 -1 123456" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
-1      -1      -1      1234
#

(akpm: the bug is that 123456 gets truncated)

It works as expected if string contains all +ve integers

# echo "1 2 3 4" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
1       2       3       4
#

The patch given below fixes the issue.

1c69d921ed [PATCH] rcu: add a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch()
On some workloads, (for example when lot of close() syscalls are done), RCU
qlen can be quite large, and RCU heads are no longer in cpu cache when
rcu_do_batch() is called.

This patch adds a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch() to give CPU a hint to bring
back cache lines containing 'struct rcu_head's.

Most list manipulations macros include prefetch(), but not open coded ones
(at least with current C compilers :) )

I got a nice speedup on a trivial benchmark (3.48 us per iteration instead
of 3.95 us on a 1.6 GHz Pentium-M)

while (1) { pipe(p); close(fd[0]); close(fd[1]);}

b4c6c34a53 [PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernel
When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its
instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some
processes might be preempted on the buffer.  The freeze_processes() and
thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer.
There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag.  If
those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the
buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing.

However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time.  So, this
patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot.  It also
introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency.

The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released
immediately.  But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are
marked as garbages.  collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release
"dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if
there are no unused slots.

Fix two things.  Firstly the unit is "Hz" not "HZ".  Secondly it is useful

Europe but the US frame rate is 30fps (29.99 blah for pedants).  300 gives
us a tick divisible by both 25 and 30, and for interlace work 50 and 60.
It's also giving similar performance to 250Hz.

I'd argue we should remove 250 and add 300, but that might be excess

nla_put() in taskstat.c can fail only if the 'size' argument of alloc_skb()
was not right. This is a kernel bug, we should not hide it. So add 'BUG()'
on error path and check for 'na == NULL'.

So we can remove 'genlmsg_cancel()' calls and 'void *reply' (saves 227 bytes).

51de4d9085 [PATCH] taskstats: use nla_reserve() for reply assembling
Currently taskstats_user_cmd()/taskstats_exit() do:

	1) allocate stats
	2) fill stats
	3) make a temporary copy on stack (236 bytes)
	4) copy that copy to skb
	5) free stats

With the help of nla_reserve() we can operate on skb->data directly,
thus avoiding all these steps except 2).

So, before this patch:

	// copy *stats to skb->data
	int mk_reply(skb, ..., struct taskstats *stats);

	fill_pid(stats);
	mk_reply(skb, ..., stats);

After:
	// return a pointer to skb->data
	struct taskstats *mk_reply(skb, ...);

	stat = mk_reply(skb, ...);
	fill_pid(stats);

Shrinks taskatsks.o by 162 bytes.

128fb95650 [PATCH] taskstats_exit_alloc: optimize/simplify
If there are no listeners, every task does unneeded kmem_cache alloc/free on
exit. We don't need listeners->sem for 'if (!list_empty())' check. Yes, we may
have a false positive, but this doesn't differ from the case when the listener
is unregistered after we drop the semaphore. So we don't need to do allocation
beforehand.

fec1d01152 [PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal exit
The CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag is used by NPTL to have its threads
communicate via memory/futex when they exit, so pthread_join can
synchronize using a simple futex wait.  The word of user memory where NPTL
stores a thread's own TID is what it passes; this gets reset to zero at
thread exit.

It is not desireable to touch this user memory when threads are dying due
to a fatal signal.  A core dump is more usefully representative of the
dying program state if the threads live at the time of the crash have their
NPTL data structures unperturbed.  The userland expectation of
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID has only ever been that it works for a thread making
an _exit system call.

This problem was identified by Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>.

Without this patch, some non-exported symbols are incorrectly assigned an

condition by converting non-exported symbols types to lower case when

8357376d3d [PATCH] swsusp: Improve handling of highmem
Currently swsusp saves the contents of highmem pages by copying them to the
normal zone which is quite inefficient (eg.  it requires two normal pages
to be used for saving one highmem page).  This may be improved by using
highmem for saving the contents of saveable highmem pages.

Namely, during the suspend phase of the suspend-resume cycle we try to
allocate as many free highmem pages as there are saveable highmem pages.
If there are not enough highmem image pages to store the contents of all of
the saveable highmem pages, some of them will be stored in the "normal"
memory.  Next, we allocate as many free "normal" pages as needed to store
the (remaining) image data.  We use a memory bitmap to mark the allocated
free pages (ie.  highmem as well as "normal" image pages).

Now, we use another memory bitmap to mark all of the saveable pages
(highmem as well as "normal") and the contents of the saveable pages are
copied into the image pages.  Then, the second bitmap is used to save the
pfns corresponding to the saveable pages and the first one is used to save
their data.

During the resume phase the pfns of the pages that were saveable during the
suspend are loaded from the image and used to mark the "unsafe" page
frames.  Next, we try to allocate as many free highmem page frames as to
load all of the image data that had been in the highmem before the suspend
and we allocate so many free "normal" page frames that the total number of
allocated free pages (highmem and "normal") is equal to the size of the
image.  While doing this we have to make sure that there will be some extra
free "normal" and "safe" page frames for two lists of PBEs constructed
later.

Now, the image data are loaded, if possible, into their "original" page
frames.  The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page
frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel
virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing
their copies, are stored in one of two lists of PBEs.

One list of PBEs is for the copies of "normal" suspend pages (ie.  "normal"
pages that were saveable during the suspend) and it is used in the same way
as previously (ie.  by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp).  The
other list of PBEs is for the copies of highmem suspend pages.  The pages
in this list are restored (in a reversible way) right before the
arch-dependent code is called.

37b2ba12df [PATCH] swsusp: add ioctl for swap files support
To be able to use swap files as suspend storage from the userland suspend
tools we need an additional ioctl() that will allow us to provide the kernel
with both the swap header's offset and the identification of the resume

The new ioctl() should be regarded as a replacement for the
SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE ioctl() that from now on will be considered as
obsolete, but has to stay for backwards compatibility of the interface.

3fc6b34f48 [PATCH] swsusp: rearrange swap-handling code
Rearrange the code in kernel/power/swap.c so that the next patch is more
readable.

[This patch only moves the existing code.]

915bae9ebe [PATCH] swsusp: use partition device and offset to identify swap areas
The Linux kernel handles swap files almost in the same way as it handles swap
partitions and there are only two differences between these two types of swap
areas:

(1) swap files need not be contiguous,

(2) the header of a swap file is not in the first block of the partition
    that holds it.  From the swsusp's point of view (1) is not a problem,
    because it is already taken care of by the swap-handling code, but (2) has
    to be taken into consideration.

In principle the location of a swap file's header may be determined with the
help of appropriate filesystem driver.  Unfortunately, however, it requires
the filesystem holding the swap file to be mounted, and if this filesystem is
journaled, it cannot be mounted during a resume from disk.  For this reason we
need some other means by which swap areas can be identified.

For example, to identify a swap area we can use the partition that holds the
area and the offset from the beginning of this partition at which the swap
header is located.

The following patch allows swsusp to identify swap areas this way.  It changes
swap_type_of() so that it takes an additional argument representing an offset
of the swap header within the partition represented by its first argument.

3592695c36 [PATCH] uswsusp: add pmops->{prepare,enter,finish} support (aka "platform mode")
Add an ioctl to the userspace swsusp code that enables the usage of the
pmops->prepare, pmops->enter and pmops->finish methods (the in-kernel
suspend knows these as "platform method").  These are needed on many
machines to (among others) speed up resuming by letting the BIOS skip some
steps or let my hp nx5000 recognise the correct ac_adapter state after
resume again.

It also ensures on many machines, that changed hardware (unplugged AC
adapters) gets correctly detected and that kacpid does not run wild after
resume.

e18b890bb0 [PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t
Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

a866374aec [PATCH] mm: pagefault_{disable,enable}()
Introduce pagefault_{disable,enable}() and use these where previously we did
manual preempt increments/decrements to make the pagefault handler do the
atomic thing.

Currently they still rely on the increased preempt count, but do not rely on
the disabled preemption, this might go away in the future.

(NOTE: the extra barrier() in pagefault_disable might fix some holes on
       machines which have too many registers for their own good)

7602bdf2fd [PATCH] new scheme to preempt swap token
The new swap token patches replace the current token traversal algo.  The old
algo had a crude timeout parameter that was used to handover the token from
one task to another.  This algo, transfers the token to the tasks that are in
need of the token.  The urgency for the token is based on the number of times
a task is required to swap-in pages.  Accordingly, the priority of a task is
incremented if it has been badly affected due to swap-outs.  To ensure that
the token doesnt bounce around rapidly, the token holders are given a priority
boost.  The priority of tasks is also decremented, if their rate of swap-in's
keeps reducing.  This way, the condition to check whether to pre-empt the swap
token, is a matter of comparing two task's priority fields.
