13b62e46d5 sched: Fix comment for sched_info_depart
sched_info_depart seems to be only called from
sched_info_switch(), so only on involuntary task switch.

Fix the comment to match.

 "First off, sorry for this pull request being late in the merge window.
  Al had raised a couple of concerns about 2 items in the series below.
  I addressed the first issue (the race introduced by Gu's use of
  mm_populate()), but he has not provided any further details on how he
  wants to rework the anon_inode.c changes (which were sent out months
  ago but have yet to be commented on).

  The bulk of the changes have been sitting in the -next tree for a few
  months, with all the issues raised being addressed"

3af3351676 memcg: avoid overflow caused by PAGE_ALIGN
Since PAGE_ALIGN is aligning up(the next page boundary), so after
PAGE_ALIGN, the value might be overflow, such as write the MAX value to
*.limit_in_bytes.

  $ cat /cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes
  18446744073709551615

  # echo 18446744073709551615 > /cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes
  bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Some user programs might depend on such behaviours(like libcg, we read
the value in snapshot, then use the value to reset cgroup later), and
that will cause confusion.  So we need to fix it.

02b9735c12 ACPI and power management fixes for 3.12-rc1
1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events
 
   After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting breakage
   on a system that triggers device check notifications during boot for
   non-existing devices.  Although those notifications are really
   spurious, we should be able to deal with them nevertheless and that
   shouldn't introduce too much overhead.  Four commits to make that
   work properly.
 
  2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework
 
   This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
   ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
   hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
   time.  Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
   acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
   which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.
 
  3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix
 
   The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
   Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
   of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the information
   expected by the driver.  Fix from Mika Westerberg, for stable.
 
  4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation
 
   AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
   executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice).  From
   Bob Moore.
 
  5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup
 
   There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
   object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one that
   the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take more
   criteria into account in those cases.
 
  6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases
 
   If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
   some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
   pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.
 
  7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug
 
   Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with cpufreq
   related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of fixes
   from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.
 
  8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute
 
   Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
   read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state won't
   work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies.  Fix
   from Andreas Schwab.
 
  9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit
 
   Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
   serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency problems
   in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but unfortunately
   it introduced several problems of its own, so I decided to revert it
   now and address the original problems later in a more robust way.
 
 10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.
 
 11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume
 
   The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs attributes
   over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL pointer
   dereference that caused it to crash during the second attempt to
   suspend.  Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that problem and a
   couple of related issues.
 
 12) cpufreq locking fix
 
   cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
   it acquires it for writing.  Fix from Lan Tianyu.

c61037e905 sched/fair: Fix the group_capacity computation
Do away with 'phantom' cores due to N*frac(smt_power) >= 1 by limiting
the capacity to the actual number of cores.

The assumption of 1 < smt_power < 2 is an actual requirement because
of what SMT is so this should work regardless of the SMT
implementation.

It can still be defeated by creative use of cpu hotplug, but if you're
one of those freaks, you get to live with it.

863bffc808 sched/fair: Fix group power_orig computation
When looking at the code I noticed we don't actually compute
sgp->power_orig correctly for groups, fix that.

Currently the only consumer of that value is fix_small_capacity()
which is only used on POWER7+ and that code excludes this case by
being limited to SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER which is only ever set on the SMT
domain which must be the lowest domain and this has singleton groups.

So nothing should be affected by this change.

6263322c5e sched/fair: Rewrite group_imb trigger
Change the group_imb detection from the old 'load-spike' detector to
an actual imbalance detector. We set it from the lower domain balance
pass when it fails to create a balance in the presence of task
affinities.

The advantage is that this should no longer generate the false
positive group_imb conditions generated by transient load spikes from
the normal balancing/bulk-wakeup etc. behaviour.

While I haven't actually observed those they could happen.

I'm not entirely happy with this patch; it somehow feels a little
fragile.

Nor does it solve the biggest issue I have with the group_imb code; it
it still a fragile construct in that once we 'fixed' the imbalance
we'll not detect the group_imb again and could end up re-creating it.

That said, this patch does seem to preserve behaviour for the
described degenerate case. In particular on my 2*6*2 wsm-ep:

  taskset -c 3-11 bash -c 'for ((i=0;i<9;i++)) do while :; do :; done & done'

ends up with 9 spinners, each on their own CPU; whereas if you disable
the group_imb code that typically doesn't happen (you'll get one pair
sharing a CPU most of the time).

There is a small race between copy_process() and cgroup_attach_task()

  -------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
    copy_process()
      + dup_task_struct()
        -> parent->se is copied to child->se.
           se.parent,cfs_rq of them point to old ones.

In the worst case, this bug can lead to "use-after-free" and cause a panic,
because it's new cgroup's refcount that is incremented at (*1),
so the old cgroup(and related data) can be freed before (*2).

In fact, a panic caused by this bug was originally caught in RHEL6.4.

878b5a6efd uprobes: Fix utask->depth accounting in handle_trampoline()
Currently utask->depth is simply the number of allocated/pending
return_instance's in uprobe_task->return_instances list.

handle_trampoline() should decrement this counter every time we
handle/free an instance, but due to typo it does this only if
->chained == T. This means that in the likely case this counter
is never decremented and the probed task can't report more than
MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH events.

7bd3601446 timekeeping: Fix HRTICK related deadlock from ntp lock changes
Gerlando Falauto reported that when HRTICK is enabled, it is
possible to trigger system deadlocks. These were hard to
reproduce, as HRTICK has been broken in the past, but seemed
to be connected to the timekeeping_seq lock.

Since seqlock/seqcount's aren't supported w/ lockdep, I added
some extra spinlock based locking and triggered the following
lockdep output:

[   15.849182] ntpd/4062 is trying to acquire lock:
[   15.849765]  (&(&pool->lock)->rlock){..-...}, at: [<ffffffff810aa9b5>] __queue_work+0x145/0x480
[   15.850051]
[   15.850051] but task is already holding lock:
[   15.850051]  (timekeeper_lock){-.-.-.}, at: [<ffffffff810df6df>] do_adjtimex+0x7f/0x100

<snip>

[   15.850051] Chain exists of: &(&pool->lock)->rlock --> &p->pi_lock --> timekeeper_lock
[   15.850051]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[   15.850051]

[   15.850051]   lock(timekeeper_lock);
[   15.850051]                                lock(&p->pi_lock);
[   15.850051] lock(timekeeper_lock);
[   15.850051] lock(&(&pool->lock)->rlock);
[   15.850051]
[   15.850051]  *** DEADLOCK ***

The deadlock was introduced by 06c017fdd4 ("timekeeping:
Hold timekeepering locks in do_adjtimex and hardpps") in 3.10

This patch avoids this deadlock, by moving the call to
schedule_delayed_work() outside of the timekeeper lock
critical section.

6723734cdf panic: call panic handlers before kmsg_dump
Since the panic handlers may produce additional information (via printk)
for the kernel log, it should be reported as part of the panic output
saved by kmsg_dump().  Without this re-ordering, nothing that adds
information to a panic will show up in pstore's view when kmsg_dump runs,
and is therefore not visible to crash reporting tools that examine pstore
output.

73af963f9f __ptrace_may_access() should not deny sub-threads
__ptrace_may_access() checks get_dumpable/ptrace_has_cap/etc if task !=
current, this can can lead to surprising results.

For example, a sub-thread can't readlink("/proc/self/exe") if the
executable is not readable.  setup_new_exec()->would_dump() notices that
inode_permission(MAY_READ) fails and then it does
set_dumpable(suid_dumpable).  After that get_dumpable() fails.

(It is not clear why proc_pid_readlink() checks get_dumpable(), perhaps we
could add PTRACE_MODE_NODUMPABLE)

Change __ptrace_may_access() to use same_thread_group() instead of "task
== current".  Any security check is pointless when the tasks share the
same ->mm.

af96397de8 kprobes: allow to specify custom allocator for insn caches
The current two insn slot caches both use module_alloc/module_free to
allocate and free insn slot cache pages.

For s390 this is not sufficient since there is the need to allocate insn
slots that are either within the vmalloc module area or within dma memory.

Therefore add a mechanism which allows to specify an own allocator for an
own insn slot cache.

c802d64a35 kprobes: unify insn caches
The current kpropes insn caches allocate memory areas for insn slots
with module_alloc().  The assumption is that the kernel image and module
area are both within the same +/- 2GB memory area.

This however is not true for s390 where the kernel image resides within
the first 2GB (DMA memory area), but the module area is far away in the
vmalloc area, usually somewhere close below the 4TB area.

For new pc relative instructions s390 needs insn slots that are within
+/- 2GB of each area.  That way we can patch displacements of
pc-relative instructions within the insn slots just like x86 and
powerpc.

The module area works already with the normal insn slot allocator,
however there is currently no way to get insn slots that are within the
first 2GB on s390 (aka DMA area).

Therefore this patch set modifies the kprobes insn slot cache code in
order to allow to specify a custom allocator for the insn slot cache
pages.  In addition architecure can now have private insn slot caches
withhout the need to modify common code.

Patch 1 unifies and simplifies the current insn and optinsn caches
        implementation. This is a preparation which allows to add more
        insn caches in a simple way.

Patch 2 adds the possibility to specify a custom allocator.

Patch 3 makes s390 use the new insn slot mechanisms and adds support for
        pc-relative instructions with long displacements.

This patch (of 3):

The two insn caches (insn, and optinsn) each have an own mutex and
alloc/free functions (get_[opt]insn_slot() / free_[opt]insn_slot()).

Since there is the need for yet another insn cache which satifies dma
allocations on s390, unify and simplify the current implementation:

- Move the per insn cache mutex into struct kprobe_insn_cache.
- Move the alloc/free functions to kprobe.h so they are simply
  wrappers for the generic __get_insn_slot/__free_insn_slot functions.
  The implementation is done with a DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS() macro
  which provides the alloc/free functions for each cache if needed.
- move the struct kprobe_insn_cache to kprobe.h which allows to generate
  architecture specific insn slot caches outside of the core kprobes
  code.

I don't know of any bugs currently caused by this unconditional

function have similar semantics to on_each_cpu() which is good in

3ddc5b46a8 kernel-wide: fix missing validations on __get/__put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user()
I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings:

  grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" *
  grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" *
  grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" *

The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat,
since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel
addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they
might not be exploitable.

For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse
that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel
buffers, and will fail immediately afterward.

The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the
access_ok() check entirely.  The fix is inspired from x86.  This could
lead to information leak on alpha.  I also noticed that many architectures
map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I
wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every
architectures.

looks a bit annoying imho.  And the new trivial helper which does
mpol_dup() + vma_set_policy() to simplify the callers.

40a0d32d1e fork: unify and tighten up CLONE_NEWUSER/CLONE_NEWPID checks
do_fork() denies CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_PARENT if NEWUSER | NEWPID.

Then later copy_process() denies CLONE_SIGHAND if the new process will
be in a different pid namespace (task_active_pid_ns() doesn't match
current->nsproxy->pid_ns).

This looks confusing and inconsistent.  CLONE_NEWPID is very similar to
the case when ->pid_ns was already unshared, we want the same
restrictions so copy_process() should also nack CLONE_PARENT.

And it would be better to deny CLONE_NEWUSER && CLONE_SIGHAND as well
just for consistency.

Kill the "CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID" check in do_fork() and change
copy_process() to do the same check along with ->pid_ns check we already
have.

5167246a8a pidns: kill the unnecessary CLONE_NEWPID in copy_process()
Commit 8382fcac1b ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)") nacks CLONE_NEWPID if the forking process
unshared pid_ns.  This is correct but unnecessary, copy_pid_ns() does
the same check.

Remove the CLONE_NEWPID check to cleanup the code and prepare for the
next change.

Test-case:

	static int child(void *arg)
	{
		return 0;
	}

	static char stack[16 * 1024];

	int main(void)
	{
		pid_t pid;

		assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);

		pid = clone(child, stack + sizeof(stack) / 2,
				CLONE_NEWPID | SIGCHLD, NULL);
		assert(pid < 0 && errno == EINVAL);

		return 0;
	}

clone(CLONE_NEWPID) correctly fails with or without this change.

e79f525e99 pidns: fix vfork() after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)
Commit 8382fcac1b ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)") nacks CLONE_VM if the forking process unshared
pid_ns, this obviously breaks vfork:

	int main(void)
	{
		assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);
		assert(vfork() >= 0);
		_exit(0);
		return 0;
	}

fails without this patch.

Change this check to use CLONE_SIGHAND instead.  This also forbids
CLONE_THREAD automatically, and this is what the comment implies.

We could probably even drop CLONE_SIGHAND and use CLONE_THREAD, but it
would be safer to not do this.  The current check denies CLONE_SIGHAND
implicitely and there is no reason to change this.

Eric said "CLONE_SIGHAND is fine.  CLONE_THREAD would be even better.
Having shared signal handling between two different pid namespaces is
the case that we are fundamentally guarding against."

3942c07ccf fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long
This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in
two main ways:

 * Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU
   lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version.
   It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs
   (for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in
   the near future with little or no modification.  Let us know if you
   have any issues.

 * The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and
   transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to
   manipulate the node lists individually.  Given this infrastructure, we
   are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed
   with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like
   it has been doing.

Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru
locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a
global lock.  The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this
change.

Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to
independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were
performance tested (details at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no
visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative
behavior in NUMA machines.

With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to
provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim.  Historically,
those two pieces of work have been posted together.  This version presents
only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time,
so we can focus on getting this part tested.  You can see more about the
history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/

Dave Chinner (18):
  dcache: convert dentry_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu counters
  dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks
  dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list
  mm: new shrinker API
  shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API
  list: add a new LRU list type
  inode: convert inode lru list to generic lru list code.
  dcache: convert to use new lru list infrastructure
  list_lru: per-node list infrastructure
  shrinker: add node awareness
  fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware
  xfs: convert buftarg LRU to generic code
  xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking
  xfs: convert dquot cache lru to list_lru
  fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API
  drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API
  shrinker: convert remaining shrinkers to count/scan API
  shrinker: Kill old ->shrink API.

Glauber Costa (7):
  fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long
  super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers
  list_lru: per-node API
  vmscan: per-node deferred work
  i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex
  hugepage: convert huge zero page shrinker to new shrinker API
  list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays

This patch:

There are situations in very large machines in which we can have a large
quantity of dirty inodes, unused dentries, etc.  This is particularly true
when umounting a filesystem, where eventually since every live object will
eventually be discarded.

Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the
shrinker revamp patchset.  So we believe it is time for a change.  This
patch just moves int to longs.  Machines where it matters should have a
big long anyway.

b0cff9d88c sched: Fix load balancing performance regression in should_we_balance()
Commit 23f0d20 ("sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()")
introduces the should_we_balance() function.  This function should
return 1 if this cpu is appropriate for balancing. But the newly
introduced code doesn't do so, it returns 0 instead of 1.

This introduces performance regression, reported by Dave Chinner:

                        v4 filesystem           v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev:            220k files/s            225k files/s
3.12-git                180k files/s            185k files/s
3.12-git-revert         245k files/s            247k files/s

You can find more detailed information at:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/10/1

This patch corrects the return value of should_we_balance()
function as orignally intended.

With this patch, Dave Chinner reports that the regression is gone:

                        v4 filesystem           v5 filesystem
3.11+xfsdev:            220k files/s            225k files/s

4e10f3c988 Kill indirect include of file.h from eventfd.h, use fdget() in cgroup.c
kernel/cgroup.c is the only place in the tree that relies on eventfd.h
pulling file.h; move that include there.  Switch from eventfd_fget()/fput()
to fdget()/fdput(), while we are at it - eventfd_ctx_fileget() will fail
on non-eventfd descriptors just fine, no need to do that check twice...

Pull namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is an assorted mishmash of small cleanups, enhancements and bug
  fixes.

  The major theme is user namespace mount restrictions.  nsown_capable
  is killed as it encourages not thinking about details that need to be
  considered.  A very hard to hit pid namespace exiting bug was finally
  tracked and fixed.  A couple of cleanups to the basic namespace
  infrastructure.

  Finally there is an enhancement that makes per user namespace
  capabilities usable as capabilities, and an enhancement that allows
  the per userns root to nice other processes in the user namespace"

a0a5a0561f ftrace/rcu: Do not trace debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled()
The function debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() is part of the RCU lockdep
debugging, and is called very frequently. I found that if I enable
a lot of debugging and run the function graph tracer, this
function can cause a live lock of the system.

We don't usually trace lockdep infrastructure, no need to trace
this either.

 "As a first remark I'd like to point out that the obsolete '-f'
  (--force) option, which has not done anything for several releases,
  has been removed from 'perf record' and related utilities.  Everyone

  Main changes on the perf kernel side:

   - Performance optimizations:
        . for trace events, by Steve Rostedt.
        . for time values, by Peter Zijlstra

   - New hardware support:
        . for Intel Silvermont (22nm Atom) CPUs, by Zheng Yan
        . for Intel SNB-EP uncore PMUs, by Zheng Yan

   - Enhanced hardware support:

        . for group events, by Jiri Olsa
        . for call chains, by Frederic Weisbecker
        . for event stream parsing, by Adrian Hunter

        . Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl to return event ID, by Jiri Olsa
        . Export u64 time_zero on the mmap header page to allow TSC
          calculation, by Adrian Hunter
        . Add dummy software event, by Adrian Hunter.
        . Add a new PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER to make samples always
          parseable, by Adrian Hunter.
        . Make Power7 events available via sysfs, by Runzhen Wang.

   - Code cleanups and refactorings:

        . for group events, by Jiri Olsa

   - Documentation updates:
        . for perf_event_type, by Peter Zijlstra

  Main changes on the perf tooling side (some of these tooling changes
  utilize the above kernel side changes):

   - Lots of 'perf trace' enhancements:

        . Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with
          'perf record', by David Ahern.

        . Allow specifying syscalls a la strace, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Add --verbose and -o/--output options, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Support ! in -e expressions, to filter a list of syscalls,
          by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
          syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
          ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
          by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex
          syscalls, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Add option to analyze events in a file versus live, so that
          one can do:

           [root@zoo ~]# perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
           [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]

        . Honor target pid / tid options when analyzing a file, by David Ahern.

        . Introduce better formatting of syscall arguments, including so
          far beautifiers for mmap, madvise, syscall return values,
          by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

        . Handle HUGEPAGE defines in the mmap beautifier, by David Ahern.

   - 'perf report/top' enhancements:

        . Do annotation using /proc/kcore and /proc/kallsyms when
          available, removing the forced need for a vmlinux file kernel

          vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
          in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.

5a8e01f8fa sched/cputime: Do not scale when utime == 0
scale_stime() silently assumes that stime < rtime, otherwise
when stime == rtime and both values are big enough (operations
on them do not fit in 32 bits), the resulting scaling stime can
be bigger than rtime. In consequence utime = rtime - stime
results in negative value.

User space visible symptoms of the bug are overflowed TIME
values on ps/top, for example:

 $ ps aux | grep rcu
 root         8  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S    12:42   0:00 [rcuc/0]

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on the cgroup front.  Most changes aren't visible
  to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
  planned unified hierarchy.

   - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
     (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's.  Because controllers
     (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
     and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
     and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
     a cgroup.  Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
     was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.

     Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
     core and controllers.  These assumptions are gradually removed,
     which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
     completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path.  Note that
     decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
     changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.

   - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
     only used by memcg.  It is overly complex trying to achieve high
     flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best.  Going forward,
     new events will simply generate file modified event and the
     existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.  This pull
     request contains prepatory patches for such change.

   - Various fixes and cleanups"

59338f754a ftrace: Fix a slight race in modifying what function callback gets traced
There's a slight race when going from a list function to a non list
function. That is, when only one callback is registered to the function
tracer, it gets called directly by the mcount trampoline. But if this
function has filters, it may be called by the wrong functions.

As the list ops callback that handles multiple callbacks that are
registered to ftrace, it also handles what functions they call. While
the transaction is taking place, use the list function always, and
after all the updates are finished (only the functions that should be
traced are being traced), then we can update the trampoline to call
the function directly.

2f01ea908b TTY/Serial driver patches for 3.12-rc1
Here's the big tty/serial driver pull request for 3.12-rc1.
 
 Lots of n_tty reworks to resolve some very long-standing issues, removing the
 3-4 different locks that were taken for every character.  This code has been
 beaten on for a long time in linux-next with no reported regressions.

942e443127 module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too early
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below.

After some investigation, it seems the reason is:
The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod
itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to
it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the
child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent
in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory.

This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be
really released in the module removing process (and some error code
paths).

10866e62e8 sched/fair: Fix the sd_parent_degenerate() code
I found that on my WSM box I had a redundant domain:

[    0.949769] CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
[    0.953765]  domain 0: span 0,12 level SIBLING
[    0.958335]   groups: 0 (cpu_power = 587) 12 (cpu_power = 588)
[    0.964548]   domain 1: span 0-5,12-17 level MC
[    0.969206]    groups: 0,12 (cpu_power = 1175) 1,13 (cpu_power = 1176) 2,14 (cpu_power = 1176) 3,15 (cpu_power = 1176) 4,16 (cpu_power = 1176) 5,17 (cpu_power = 1176)
[    0.984993]    domain 2: span 0-5,12-17 level CPU
[    0.989822]     groups: 0-5,12-17 (cpu_power = 7055)
[    0.995049]     domain 3: span 0-23 level NUMA
[    0.999620]      groups: 0-5,12-17 (cpu_power = 7055) 6-11,18-23 (cpu_power = 7056)

Note how domain 2 has only a single group and spans the same CPUs as
domain 1. We should not keep such domains and do in fact have code to
prune these.

It turns out that the 'new' SD_PREFER_SIBLING flag causes this, it
makes sd_parent_degenerate() fail on the CPU domain. We can easily
fix this by 'ignoring' the SD_PREFER_SIBLING bit and transfering it
to whatever domain ends up covering the span.

With this patch the domains now look like this:

[    0.950419] CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
[    0.954454]  domain 0: span 0,12 level SIBLING
[    0.959039]   groups: 0 (cpu_power = 587) 12 (cpu_power = 588)
[    0.965271]   domain 1: span 0-5,12-17 level MC
[    0.969936]    groups: 0,12 (cpu_power = 1175) 1,13 (cpu_power = 1176) 2,14 (cpu_power = 1176) 3,15 (cpu_power = 1176) 4,16 (cpu_power = 1176) 5,17 (cpu_power = 1176)
[    0.985737]    domain 2: span 0-23 level NUMA
[    0.990231]     groups: 0-5,12-17 (cpu_power = 7055) 6-11,18-23 (cpu_power = 7056)

147c5fc2ba sched/fair: Shrink sg_lb_stats and play memset games
We can shrink sg_lb_stats because rq::nr_running is an unsigned int
and cpu numbers are 'int'

Before:
  sgs:        /* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 10 */
  sds:        /* size: 184, cachelines: 3, members: 7 */

After:
  sgs:        /* size: 56, cachelines: 1, members: 10 */
  sds:        /* size: 152, cachelines: 3, members: 7 */

Further we can avoid clearing all of sds since we do a total
clear/assignment of sg_stats in update_sg_lb_stats() with exception of
busiest_stat.avg_load which is referenced in update_sd_pick_busiest().

There is no reason to maintain separate variables for this_group

But this structure is always allocated in stack, so this saving
isn't really benificial [peterz: reducing stack space is good; in this
case readability increases enough that I think its still beneficial]

This patch unify these variables, so IMO, readability may be improved.

23f0d2093c sched: Factor out code to should_we_balance()
Now checking whether this cpu is appropriate to balance or not
is embedded into update_sg_lb_stats() and this checking has no direct
relationship to this function. There is not enough reason to place
this checking at update_sg_lb_stats(), except saving one iteration
for sched_group_cpus.

In this patch, I factor out this checking to should_we_balance() function.
And before doing actual work for load_balancing, check whether this cpu is
appropriate to balance via should_we_balance(). If this cpu is not
a candidate for balancing, it quit the work immediately.

With this change, we can save two memset cost and can expect better
compiler optimization.

Below is result of this patch.

The reason is a race in perf_event_task_tick() throttling code.
The race flow (simplified code):

  - perf_throttled_count is per cpu variable and is
    CPU throttling flag, here starting with 0

  - perf_throttled_seq is sequence/domain for allowed
    count of interrupts within the tick, gets increased
    each tick

    on single CPU (CPU bounded event):

      ... workload

    perf_event_task_tick:
    |
    | T0    inc(perf_throttled_seq)
    | T1    needs_unthr = xchg(perf_throttled_count, 0) == 0
     tick gets interrupted:

            ... event gets throttled under new seq ...

      T2    last NMI comes, event is throttled - inc(perf_throttled_count)

     back to tick:
    | perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context:
    |
    | T3    unthrottling is skiped for event (needs_unthr == 0)
    | T4    event is stop and started via freq adjustment
    |
    tick ends

      ... workload
      ... no sample is hit for event ...

    perf_event_task_tick:
    |
    | T5    needs_unthr = xchg(perf_throttled_count, 0) != 0 (from T2)
    | T6    unthrottling is done on event (interrupts == MAX_INTERRUPTS)
    |       event is already started (from T4) -> WARN

Fixing this by not checking needs_unthr again and thus
check all events for unthrottling.

eb75767be0 nohz_full: Force RCU's grace-period kthreads onto timekeeping CPU
Because RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism is used to drive the
full-system-idle state machine, and because this mechanism is executed
by RCU's grace-period kthreads, this commit forces these kthreads to
run on the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu).  To do otherwise would
mean that the RCU grace-period kthreads would force the system into
non-idle state every time they drove the state machine, which would
be just a bit on the futile side.

0edd1b1784 nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machine
This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data
as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output.  This
state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing
mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU
idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine.

The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which
also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing
RCU to become non-idle).  This function returns true if all but the
timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long
enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state
variable.  The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally
to reset the state machine back into non-idle state.

For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's
force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price
of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle
state.  This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually
small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which
do care deeply about energy efficiency.  Small systems therefore drive
the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code.  The number of
CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL
Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8.  Note that this is a build-time
definition.

6e556ce209 pidns: Don't have unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) imply CLONE_THREAD
I goofed when I made unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) only work in a
single-threaded process.  There is no need for that requirement and in
fact I analyzied things right for setns.  The hard requirement
is for tasks that share a VM to all be in the pid namespace and
we properly prevent that in do_fork.

Just to be certain I took a look through do_wait and
forget_original_parent and there are no cases that make it any harder
for children to be in the multiple pid namespaces than it is for
children to be in the same pid namespace.  I also performed a check to
see if there were in uses of task->nsproxy_pid_ns I was not familiar
with, but it is only used when allocating a new pid for a new task,
and in checks to prevent craziness from happening.

942f40155a PM / hibernate / memory hotplug: Rework mutual exclusion
Since all of the memory hotplug operations have to be carried out
under device_hotplug_lock, they won't need to acquire pm_mutex if
device_hotplug_lock is held around hibernation.

For this reason, make the hibernation code acquire
device_hotplug_lock after freezing user space processes and
release it before thawing them.  At the same tim drop the
lock_system_sleep() and unlock_system_sleep() calls from
lock_memory_hotplug() and unlock_memory_hotplug(), respectively.

8fd37a4c98 PM / hibernate: Create memory bitmaps after freezing user space
The hibernation core uses special memory bitmaps during image
creation and restoration and traditionally those bitmaps are
allocated before freezing tasks, because in the past GFP_KERNEL
allocations might not work after all tasks had been frozen.

However, this is an anachronism, because hibernation_snapshot()
now calls hibernate_preallocate_memory() which allocates memory
for the image upfront anyway, so the memory bitmaps may be
allocated after freezing user space safely.

For this reason, move all of the create_basic_memory_bitmaps()
calls after freeze_processes() and all of the corresponding
free_basic_memory_bitmaps() calls before thaw_processes().

This will allow us to hold device_hotplug_lock around hibernation
without the need to worry about freezing issues with user space
processes attempting to acquire it via sysfs attributes after the
creation of memory bitmaps and before the freezing of tasks.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) There was a simplification in the ipv6 ndisc packet sending
    attempted here, which avoided using memory accounting on the
    per-netns ndisc socket for sending NDISC packets.  It did fix some
    important issues, but it causes regressions so it gets reverted here
    too.  Specifically, the problem with this change is that the IPV6
    output path really depends upon there being a valid skb->sk
    attached.

    The reason we want to do this change in some form when we figure out
    how to do it right, is that if a device goes down the ndisc_sk
    socket send queue will fill up and block NDISC packets that we want
    to send to other devices too.  That's really bad behavior.

    Hopefully Thomas can come up with a better version of this change.

 2) Fix a severe TCP performance regression by reverting a change made
    to dev_pick_tx() quite some time ago.  From Eric Dumazet.

 3) TIPC returns wrongly signed error codes, fix from Erik Hugne.

 4) Fix OOPS when doing IPSEC over ipv4 tunnels due to orphaning the
    skb->sk too early.  Fix from Li Hongjun.

 5) RAW ipv4 sockets can use the wrong routing key during lookup, from
    Chris Clark.

 6) Similar to #1 revert an older change that tried to use plain
    alloc_skb() for SYN/ACK TCP packets, this broke the netfilter owner
    mark which needs to see the skb->sk for such frames.  From Phil
    Oester.

 7) BNX2x driver bug fixes from Ariel Elior and Yuval Mintz,
    specifically in the handling of virtual functions.

 8) IPSEC path error propagations to sockets is not done properly when
    we have v4 in v6, and v6 in v4 type rules.  Fix from Hannes Frederic
    Sowa.

 9) Fix missing channel context release in mac80211, from Johannes Berg.

10) Fix network namespace handing wrt.  SCM_RIGHTS, from Andy
    Lutomirski.

11) Fix usage of bogus NAPI weight in jme, netxen, and ps3_gelic

12) Hopefully a complete and correct fix for the genetlink dump locking
    and module reference counting.  From Pravin B Shelar.

13) sk_busy_loop() must do a cpu_relax(), from Eliezer Tamir.

14) Fix handling of timestamp offset when restoring a snapshotted TCP

The issue is that when the task group leader of an init process exits
before other tasks of the init process when the init process finally
exits it will be a secondary task sleeping in zap_pid_ns_processes and
waiting to wake up when the number of hashed pids drops to two.  This
case waits forever as free_pid only sends a wake up when the number of
hashed pids drops to 1.

To correct this the simple strategy of sending a possibly unncessary
wake up when the number of hashed pids drops to 2 is adopted.

Sending one extraneous wake up is relatively harmless, at worst we
waste a little cpu time in the rare case when a pid namespace
appropaches exiting.

We can detect the case when the pid namespace drops to just two pids
hashed race free in free_pid.

Dereferencing pid_ns->child_reaper with the pidmap_lock held is safe
without out the tasklist_lock because it is guaranteed that the
detach_pid will be called on the child_reaper before it is freed and
detach_pid calls __change_pid which calls free_pid which takes the
pidmap_lock.  __change_pid only calls free_pid if this is the
last use of the pid.  For a thread that is not the thread group leader
the threads pid will only ever have one user because a threads pid
is not allowed to be the pid of a process, of a process group or
a session.  For a thread that is a thread group leader all of
the other threads of that process will be reaped before it is allowed
for the thread group leader to be reaped ensuring there will only
be one user of the threads pid as a process pid.  Furthermore
because the thread is the init process of a pid namespace all of the
other processes in the pid namespace will have also been already freed
leading to the fact that the pid will not be used as a session pid or
a process group pid for any other running process.

Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
 "During the percpu reference counting update which was merged during
  v3.11-rc1, the cgroup destruction path was updated so that a cgroup in
  the process of dying may linger on the children list, which was
  necessary as the cgroup should still be included in child/descendant
  iteration while percpu ref is being killed.

  Unfortunately, I forgot to update cgroup destruction path accordingly
  and cgroup destruction may fail spuriously with -EBUSY due to
  lingering dying children even when there's no live child left - e.g.
  "rmdir parent/child parent" will usually fail.

  This can be easily fixed by iterating through the children list to
  verify that there's no live child left.  While this is very late in
  the release cycle, this bug is very visible to userland and I believe
  the fix is relatively safe.

  Thanks Hugh for spotting and providing fix for the issue"

ff3d527ceb perf: make events stream always parsable
The event stream is not always parsable because the format of a sample
is dependent on the sample_type of the selected event.  When there is
more than one selected event and the sample_types are not the same then
parsing becomes problematic.  A sample can be matched to its selected
event using the ID that is allocated when the event is opened.
Unfortunately, to get the ID from the sample means first parsing it.

This patch adds a new sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFER that puts
the ID at a fixed position so that the ID can be retrieved without
parsing the sample.  For sample events, that is the first position
immediately after the header.  For non-sample events, that is the last
position.

In this respect parsing samples requires that the sample_type and ID
values are recorded.  For example, perf tools records struct
perf_event_attr and the IDs within the perf.data file.  Those must be
read first before it is possible to parse samples found later in the
perf.data file.

bb78a92f47 cgroup: fix rmdir EBUSY regression in 3.11
On 3.11-rc we are seeing cgroup directories left behind when they should
have been removed.  Here's a trivial reproducer:

cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
mkdir parent parent/child; rmdir parent/child parent
rmdir: failed to remove `parent': Device or resource busy

It's because cgroup_destroy_locked() (step 1 of destruction) leaves
cgroup on parent's children list, letting cgroup_offline_fn() (step 2 of
destruction) remove it; but step 2 is run by work queue, which may not
yet have removed the children when parent destruction checks the list.

Fix that by checking through a non-empty list of children: if every one
of them has already been marked CGRP_DEAD, then it's safe to proceed:

b22ce2785d workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work item
If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU.
This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is
waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine.  Such
self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging
the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for
that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from
happening on all other CPUs.  The two would deadlock.

Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around
scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one
port may exclude command processing from other ports.  With the right
timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying
to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has
an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to
stop_machine.

Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

Correct an issue with /proc/timer_list reported by Holger.

When reading from the proc file with a sufficiently small buffer, 2k so

The timer_list_start function failed to account for the possibility that
the offset was adjusted outside the timer_list_next.

e51db73532 userns: Better restrictions on when proc and sysfs can be mounted
Rely on the fact that another flavor of the filesystem is already
mounted and do not rely on state in the user namespace.

Verify that the mounted filesystem is not covered in any significant
way.  I would love to verify that the previously mounted filesystem
has no mounts on top but there are at least the directories
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc and /sys/fs/cgroup/ that exist explicitly
for other filesystems to mount on top of.

Refactor the test into a function named fs_fully_visible and call that
function from the mount routines of proc and sysfs.  This makes this
test local to the filesystems involved and the results current of when
the mounts take place, removing a weird threading of the user
namespace, the mount namespace and the filesystems themselves.

7941cb027d cgroup: make cgroup_event hold onto cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup
Currently, each registered cgroup_event holds an extra reference to
the cgroup.  This is a bit weird as events are subsystem specific and
will also be incorrect in the planned unified hierarchy as css
(cgroup_subsys_state) may come and go dynamically across the lifetime
of a cgroup.  Holding onto cgroup won't prevent the target css from
going away.

Update cgroup_event to hold onto the css the traget file belongs to
instead of cgroup.

35cf083619 cgroup: rename cgroup_css_from_dir() to css_from_dir() and update its syntax
cgroup_css_from_dir() will grow another user.  In preparation, make
the following changes.

* All css functions are prefixed with just "css_", rename it to
  css_from_dir().

* Take dentry * instead of file * as dentry is what ultimately
  identifies a cgroup and file may not always be available.  Note that
  the function now checkes whether @dentry->d_inode is NULL as the
  caller now may specify a negative dentry.

* Make it take cgroup_subsys * instead of integer subsys_id.  This
  simplifies the function and allows specifying no subsystem for
  cgroup->dummy_css.

* Make return section a bit less verbose.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

ab013c5f60 module: Add flag to allow mod params to have no arguments
Currently the params.c code allows only two "set" functions to have
no arguments. If a parameter does not have an argument, then it
looks at the set function and tests if it is either param_set_bool()
or param_set_bint(). If it is not one of these functions, then it
fails the loading of the module.

But there may be module parameters that have different set functions
and still allow no arguments. But unless each of these cases adds
their function to the if statement, it wont be allowed to have no
arguments. This method gets rather messing and does not scale.

Instead, introduce a flags field to the kernel_param_ops, where if
the flag KERNEL_PARAM_FL_NOARG is set, the parameter will not fail
if it does not contain an argument. It will be expected that the
corresponding set function can handle a NULL pointer as "val".

6e6eab0efd cgroup: fix cgroup_write_event_control()
81eeaf0411 ("cgroup: make cftype->[un]register_event() deal with
cgroup_subsys_state inst ead of cgroup") updated the cftype event
methods to take @css (cgroup_subsys_state) instead of @cgroup;
however, it incorrectly used @css passed to
cgroup_write_event_control(), which the dummy_css for the cgroup as
the file is a cgroup core file.  This leads to oops on event
registration.

Fix it by using the css matching the event target file.  Note that
cgroup_write_event_control() now disallows cgroup core files from
being event sources.  This is for simplicity and doesn't matter as
cgroup_event will be moved and made specific to memcg.

0bfb4aa67c cgroup: fix subsystem file accesses on the root cgroup
105347ba5 ("cgroup: make cgroup_file_open() rcu_read_lock() around
cgroup_css() and add cfent->css") added cfent->css to cache the
associted cgroup_subsys_state across file operations.

A cfent is associated with single css throughout its lifetime and the
origimal commit initialized the cache pointer during cgroup_add_file()
and verified that it matches the actual one in cgroup_file_open().
While this works fine for !root cgroups, it's broken for root cgroups
as files in a root cgroup are created before the css's are associated
with the cgroup and thus cgroup_css() call in cgroup_add_file()
returns NULL associating all cfents in the root cgroup with NULL css.
This makes cgroup_file_open() trigger WARN and fail with -ENODEV for
all !core subsystem files in the root cgroups.

There's no reason to initialize cfent->css separately from
cgroup_add_file().  As the association never changes,
cgroup_file_open() can set it unconditionally every time and
containing the logic in cgroup_file_open() makes more sense anyway as
the only reason it's necessary is file->private_data being already
occupied.

Fix it by setting cfent->css unconditionally from cgroup_file_open().

1cb650b91b cgroup: change cgroup_from_id() to css_from_id()
Now we want cgroup core to always provide the css to use to the
subsystems, so change this API to css_from_id().

Uninline css_from_id(), because it's getting bigger and cgroup_css()
has been unexported.

While at it, remove the #ifdef, and shuffle the order of the args.

217af2a2ff nohz_full: Add full-system-idle arguments to API
This commit adds an isidle and jiffies argument to force_qs_rnp(),
dyntick_save_progress_counter(), and rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs() to enable
RCU's force-quiescent-state process to check for full-system idle.

d4bd54fbac nohz_full: Add full-system idle states and variables
This commit adds control variables and states for full-system idle.
The system will progress through the states in numerical order when
the system is fully idle (other than the timekeeping CPU), and reset
down to the initial state if any non-timekeeping CPU goes non-idle.
The current state is kept in full_sysidle_state.

One flavor of RCU will be in charge of driving the state machine,
defined by rcu_sysidle_state.  This should be the busiest flavor of RCU.

eb348b8982 nohz_full: Add per-CPU idle-state tracking
This commit adds the code that updates the rcu_dyntick structure's
new fields to track the per-CPU idle state based on interrupts and
transitions into and out of the idle loop (NMIs are ignored because NMI
handlers cannot cleanly read out the time anyway).  This code is similar
to the code that maintains RCU's idea of per-CPU idleness, but differs
in that RCU treats CPUs running in user mode as idle, where this new
code does not.

2333210b26 nohz_full: Add rcu_dyntick data for scalable detection of all-idle state
This commit adds fields to the rcu_dyntick structure that are used to
detect idle CPUs.  These new fields differ from the existing ones in
that the existing ones consider a CPU executing in user mode to be idle,
where the new ones consider CPUs executing in user mode to be busy.
The handling of these new fields is otherwise quite similar to that for
the exiting fields.  This commit also adds the initialization required
for these fields.

So, why is usermode execution treated differently, with RCU considering
it a quiescent state equivalent to idle, while in contrast the new
full-system idle state detection considers usermode execution to be
non-idle?

It turns out that although one of RCU's quiescent states is usermode
execution, it is not a full-system idle state.  This is because the
purpose of the full-system idle state is not RCU, but rather determining
when accurate timekeeping can safely be disabled.  Whenever accurate
timekeeping is required in a CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL kernel, at least one
CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick going.  If even one CPU is
executing in user mode, accurate timekeeping is requires, particularly for
architectures where gettimeofday() and friends do not enter the kernel.
Only when all CPUs are really and truly idle can accurate timekeeping be
disabled, allowing all CPUs to turn off the scheduling clock interrupt,
thus greatly improving energy efficiency.

This naturally raises the question "Why is this code in RCU rather than in
timekeeping?", and the answer is that RCU has the data and infrastructure
to efficiently make this determination.
