Merge alpha architecture update from Michael Cree:
"The Alpha Maintainer, Matt Turner, is currently unavailable, so I have
collected up patches that have been posted to the linux-alpha mailing
list over the last couple of months, and are forwarding them to you in
the hope that you are prepared to accept them via me.
The patches by Al Viro and myself I have been running against kernels
for two months now so have had quite a bit of testing. All except one
patch were intended for the 3.5 kernel but because of Matt's
unavailability never got forwarded to you."
* emailed patches from Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz>: (9 commits)
alpha: Fix fall-out from disintegrating asm/system.h
Redefine ATOMIC_INIT and ATOMIC64_INIT to drop the casts
alpha: fix fpu.h usage in userspace
alpha/mm/fault.c: Port OOM changes to do_page_fault
alpha: take kernel_execve() out of entry.S
alpha: take a bunch of syscalls into osf_sys.c
alpha: Use new generic strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user()
alpha: Wire up cross memory attach syscalls
alpha: Don't export SOCK_NONBLOCK to user space.
New helper: current_thread_info(). Allows to do a bunch of odd syscalls
in C. While we are at it, there had never been a reason to do
osf_getpriority() in assembler. We also get "namespace"-aware (read:
consistent with getuid(2), etc.) behaviour from getx?id() syscalls now.

Make stop scheduler class do the same accounting as other classes,
Migration threads can be caught in the act while doing exec balancing,
leading to the below due to use of unmaintained ->se.exec_start. The
load that triggered this particular instance was an apparently out of
control heavily threaded application that does system monitoring in
what equated to an exec bomb, with one of the VERY frequently migrated
tasks being ps.

With multiple instances of task_groups, for_each_rt_rq() is a noop,
no task groups having been added to the rt.c list instance. This
renders __enable/disable_runtime() and print_rt_stats() noop, the
user (non) visible effect being that rt task groups are missing in
/proc/sched_debug.

On architectures where cputime_t is 64 bit type, is possible to trigger
divide by zero on do_div(temp, (__force u32) total) line, if total is a
non zero number but has lower 32 bit's zeroed. Removing casting is not
a good solution since some do_div() implementations do cast to u32
internally.
This problem can be triggered in practice on very long lived processes:

Peter Portante reported that for large cgroup hierarchies (and or on
large CPU counts) we get immense lock contention on rq->lock and stuff
stops working properly.
His workload was a ton of processes, each in their own cgroup,
everybody idling except for a sporadic wakeup once every so often.
It was found that:
schedule()
idle_balance()
load_balance()
local_irq_save()
double_rq_lock()
update_h_load()
walk_tg_tree(tg_load_down)
tg_load_down()
Results in an entire cgroup hierarchy walk under rq->lock for every
new-idle balance and since new-idle balance isn't throttled this
results in a lot of work while holding the rq->lock.
This patch does two things, it removes the work from under rq->lock
based on the good principle of race and pray which is widely employed
in the load-balancer as a whole. And secondly it throttles the
update_h_load() calculation to max once per jiffy.
I considered excluding update_h_load() for new-idle balance
all-together, but purely relying on regular balance passes to update
this data might not work out under some rare circumstances where the
new-idle busiest isn't the regular busiest for a while (unlikely, but
a nightmare to debug if someone hits it and suffers).

While tracking down a weird buffer overflow issue in a program that
looked to be sane, I started double checking the length returned by
syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, ...) to make sure it wasn't overflowing
the buffer.
Sure enough, it was. I saw this in strace:
11339 syslog(SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL, "<5>[244017.708129] REISERFS (dev"..., 8192) = 8279
It turns out that the loops that calculate how much space the entries
will take when they're copied don't include the newlines and prefixes
that will be included in the final output since prev flags is passed as
zero.
This patch properly accounts for it and fixes the overflow.

Revert commit 45226e9 (NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage
on resume) which breaks resume from system suspend on my SH7372
Mackerel board (by causing a NULL pointer dereference to happen) and
is generally wrong, because it abuses the CPU hotplug functionality
in a shamelessly blatant way.
The original issue should be addressed through appropriate syscore
resume callback instead.

Tetsuo Handa reported that sporadically the system clock starts
counting up too quickly which is enough to confuse the hangcheck
timer to print a bogus stall warning.
Commit 2a8c0883 "time: Move xtime_nsec adjustment underflow handling
timekeeping_adjust" overlooked this exit path:
} else
return;
which should really be a proper exit sequence, fixing the bug as a
side effect.
Also make the flow more readable by properly balancing curly
braces.

This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of
PF_MEMALLOC.
Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being
associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle with
- thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when in
interrupts (hard or soft) context.
Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some
trickery. This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens
to be preempted by the softirq. It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags
mapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the
softirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag.
The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn't
leak into the softirq. The restore ensures a softirq's PF_MEMALLOC flag
cannot leak back into the preempted process. This should be safe due to
the following reasons
Softirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be
executing the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq
handler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags
should not leak to an unrelated softirq.
Softirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be
preempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited
by the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in
reclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is
set, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and
soft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
flag.
If the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used
instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted,
the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.

When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a
fallback zonelist should be created for the new node. There's code to try
to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below:
/*
* The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding
* to access not-initialized zonelist, build here.
*/
mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex);
build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL);
mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex);
But it doesn't work as expected. When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the
new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't
been called yet. And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for
online nodes as:
for_each_online_node(nid) {
pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);
build_zonelists(pgdat);
build_zonelist_cache(pgdat);
}
Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't. So
add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for
the new pgdat too.

Ingo noted that the numerous timekeeper.value references made
the timekeeping code ugly and caused many long lines that
had to be broken up. He recommended replacing timekeeper.value
references with tk->value.
This patch provides a local tk value for all top level time
functions and sets it to &timekeeper. Then all timekeeper
access is done via a tk pointer.

For performance reasons, we maintain ktime_t based duplicates of
wall_to_monotonic (offs_real) and total_sleep_time (offs_boot).
Since large problems could occur (such as the resume regression
on 3.5-rc7, or the leapsecond hrtimer issue) if these value
pairs were to be inconsistently updated, this patch this cleans
up how we modify these value pairs to ensure we are always
consistent.
As a side-effect this is also more efficient as we only
caulculate the duplicate values when they are changed,
rather then every update_wall_time call.
This also provides WARN_ONs to detect if future changes break
the invariants.

A few events are interesting not only for a current task.
For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task
which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such
events will be delivered to a target task too.
Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task().
The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra.
I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.

When the requested range is outside of the root range the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split will cause an infinite recursion which will
overflow the stack as seen in the warning bellow.
This particular stack overflow was caused by requesting the
(100000000-107ffffff) range while the root range was (0-ffffffff). In
this case __request_resource would return the whole root range as
conflict range (i.e. 0-ffffffff). Then, the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split would continue the recursion requesting the
new range as (conflict->end+1, end) which incidentally in this case
equals the originally requested range.
This patch aborts looking for an usable range when the request does not
intersect with the root range. When the request partially overlaps with
the root range, it ajust the request to fall in the root range and then
continues with the new request.
When the request is modified or aborted errors and a stack trace are
logged to allow catching the errors in the upper layers.

register_sysctl_table() is a strange function, as it makes internal
allocations (a header) to register a sysctl_table. This header is a
handle to the table that is created, and can be used to unregister the
table. But if the table is permanent and never unregistered, the header
acts the same as a static variable.
Unfortunately, this allocation of memory that is never expected to be
freed fools kmemleak in thinking that we have leaked memory. For those
sysctl tables that are never unregistered, and have no pointer referencing
them, kmemleak will think that these are memory leaks:

The function dup_task() may fail at the following function calls in the
following order.
0) alloc_task_struct_node()
1) alloc_thread_info_node()
2) arch_dup_task_struct()
Error by 0) is not a matter, it can just return. But error by 1) requires
releasing task_struct allocated by 0) before it returns. Likewise, error
by 2) requires releasing task_struct and thread_info allocated by 0) and
1).
The existing error handling calls free_task_struct() and
free_thread_info() which do not only release task_struct and thread_info,
but also call architecture specific arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info().
The problem is that task_struct and thread_info are not fully initialized
yet at this point, but arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info() are called with them.
For example, x86 defines its own arch_release_task_struct() that releases
a task_xstate. If alloc_thread_info_node() fails in dup_task(),
arch_release_task_struct() is called with task_struct which is just
allocated and filled with garbage in this error handling.
This actually happened with tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh
# env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
--min-order=0 --ignore-gfp-wait=0 \
-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests
In order to fix this issue, make free_{task_struct,thread_info}() not to
call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() and call
arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() implicitly where needed.
Default arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are
defined as empty by default. So this change only affects the
architectures which implement their own arch_release_task_struct() or
arch_release_thread_info() as listed below.

The current code can be replaced by vma_pages(). So use it to simplify
the code.

The system deadlocks (at least since 2.6.10) when
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_EXEC) request triggers
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC) request.
This is because "khelper thread is waiting for the worker thread at
wait_for_completion() in do_fork() since the worker thread was created
with CLONE_VFORK flag" and "the worker thread cannot call complete()
because do_execve() is blocked at UMH_WAIT_PROC request" and "the khelper
thread cannot start processing UMH_WAIT_PROC request because the khelper
thread is waiting for the worker thread at wait_for_completion() in
do_fork()".
The easiest example to observe this deadlock is to use a corrupted
/sbin/hotplug binary (like shown below).
# : > /tmp/dummy
# chmod 755 /tmp/dummy
# echo /tmp/dummy > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
# modprobe whatever
call_usermodehelper("/tmp/dummy", UMH_WAIT_EXEC) is called from
kobject_uevent_env() in lib/kobject_uevent.c upon loading/unloading a
module. do_execve("/tmp/dummy") triggers a call to
request_module("binfmt-0000") from search_binary_handler() which in turn
calls call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC).
In order to avoid deadlock, as a for-now and easy-to-backport solution, do
not try to call wait_for_completion() in call_usermodehelper_exec() if the
worker thread was created by khelper thread with CLONE_VFORK flag. Future
and fundamental solution might be replacing singleton khelper thread with
some workqueue so that recursive calls up to max_active dependency loop
can be handled without deadlock.

vprintk_emit() prefix parsing should only be done for internal kernel
messages. This allows existing behavior to be kept in all cases.

The current form of a KERN_<LEVEL> is "<.>".
Add printk_get_level and printk_skip_level functions to handle these
formats.
These functions centralize tests of KERN_<LEVEL> so a future modification
can change the KERN_<LEVEL> style and shorten the number of bytes consumed
by these headers.
