Merge disabling kprobe to unregistering kprobe function
and add comments for disabing/unregistring process.
Current unregistering code disables(disarms) kprobes after
checking target kprobe status. This patch changes it to
disabling kprobe first after that it changing the kprobe's
state. This allows to share probe disabling code between
disable_kprobe() and unregister_kprobe().

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

This reverts commit 59365d136d.
It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
Quoth Sarah Sharp:
"On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b from linus' tree,
and my box would not boot. klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
system.
At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in. It dropped back to the
text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
of time. dmesg surprisingly still works. I've bisected the problem
down to this commit (commit 59365d136d)
The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty). Yes, I know
that's old. I read the bit in the commit about changing the
permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
help."
So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts. This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

Oleg noticed that a perf-fd keeping a reference on the creating task
leads to a few funny side effects.
There's two different aspects to this:
- kernel based perf-events, these should not take out
a reference on the creating task and appear on the task's
event list since they're not bound to fds nor visible
to userspace.
- fork() and pthread_create(), these can lead to the creating
task dying (and thus the task's event-list becomming useless)
but keeping the list and ref alive until the event is closed.
Combined they lead to malfunction of the ptrace hw_tracepoints.
Cure this by not considering kernel based perf_events for the
owner-list and destroying the owner-list when the owner dies.

Now that we have a new nmi_watchdog that is more generic and
sits on top of the perf subsystem, we really do not need the old
nmi_watchdog any more.
In addition, the old nmi_watchdog doesn't really work if you are
using the default clocksource, hpet. The old nmi_watchdog code
relied on local apic interrupts to determine if the cpu is still
alive. With hpet as the clocksource, these interrupts don't
increment any more and the old nmi_watchdog triggers false
postives.
This piece removes the old nmi_watchdog code and stubs out any
variables and functions calls. The stubs are the same ones used
by the new nmi_watchdog code, so it should be well tested.

Making /proc/kallsyms readable only for root by default makes it
slightly harder for attackers to write generic kernel exploits by
removing one source of knowledge where things are in the kernel.
This is the second submit, discussion happened on this on first submit
and mostly concerned that this is just one hole of the sieve ... but
one of the bigger ones.
Changing the permissions of at least System.map and vmlinux is also
required to fix the same set, but a packaging issue.
Target of this starter patch and follow ups is removing any kind of
kernel space address information leak from the kernel.
[ Side note: the default of root-only reading is the "safe" value, and
it's easy enough to then override at any time after boot. The /proc
filesystem allows root to change the permissions with a regular
chmod, so you can "revert" this at run-time by simply doing
chmod og+r /proc/kallsyms
as root if you really want regular users to see the kernel symbols.
It does help some tools like "perf" figure them out without any
setup, so it may well make sense in some situations. - Linus ]

The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful
during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap
addresses. Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or
thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful
debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that
prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog.
This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the
dmesg_restrict sysctl. When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are
enforced. When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the
kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.

clean_sort_range() should return a number of nonempty elements of range
array, but if the array is full clean_sort_range() returns 0.
The problem is that the number of nonempty elements is evaluated by
finding the first empty element of the array. If there is no such element
it returns an initial value of local variable nr_range that is zero.
The fix is trivial: it changes initial value of nr_range to size of the
array.
The bug can lead to loss of information regarding all ranges, since
typically returned value of clean_sort_range() is considered as an actual
number of ranges in the array after a series of add/subtract operations.

When using early debugging, the kernel does not initialize the
hw_breakpoint API early enough and causes the late initialization of
the kernel debugger to fail. The boot arguments are:
earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait
Then simply type "go" at the kdb prompt and boot. The kernel will
later emit the message:
kgdb: Could not allocate hwbreakpoints
And at that point the kernel debugger will cease to work correctly.
The solution is to initialize the hw_breakpoint at the same time that
all the other perf call backs are initialized instead of using a
core_initcall() initialization which happens well after the kernel
debugger can make use of hardware breakpoints.

On use of trace_printk() there's a macro that determines if the format
is static or a variable. If it is static, it defaults to __trace_bprintk()
otherwise it uses __trace_printk().
A while ago, Lai Jiangshan added __trace_bprintk(). In that patch, we
discussed a way to allow modules to use it. The difference between
__trace_bprintk() and __trace_printk() is that for faster processing,
just the format and args are stored in the trace instead of running
it through a sprintf function. In order to do this, the format used
by the __trace_bprintk() had to be persistent.
See commit 1ba28e02a1
The problem comes with trace_bprintk() where the module is unloaded.
The pointer left in the buffer is still pointing to the format.
To solve this issue, the formats in the module were copied into kernel
core. If the same format was used, they would use the same copy (to prevent
memory leak). This all worked well until we tried to merge everything.
At the time this was written, Lai Jiangshan, Frederic Weisbecker,
Ingo Molnar and myself were all touching the same code. When this was
merged, we lost the part of it that was in module.c. This kept out the
copying of the formats and unloading the module could cause bad pointers
left in the ring buffer.
This patch adds back (with updates required for current kernel) the
module code that sets up the necessary pointers.

Currently we consider a sched domain to be well balanced when the imbalance
is less than the domain's imablance_pct. As the number of cores and threads
are increasing, current values of imbalance_pct (for example 25% for a
NUMA domain) are not enough to detect imbalances like:
a) On a WSM-EP system (two sockets, each having 6 cores and 12 logical threads),
24 cpu-hogging tasks get scheduled as 13 on one socket and 11 on another
socket. Leading to an idle HT cpu.
b) On a hypothetial 2 socket NHM-EX system (each socket having 8 cores and
16 logical threads), 16 cpu-hogging tasks can get scheduled as 9 on one
socket and 7 on another socket. Leaving one core in a socket idle
whereas in another socket we have a core having both its HT siblings busy.
While this issue can be fixed by decreasing the domain's imbalance_pct
(by making it a function of number of logical cpus in the domain), it
can potentially cause more task migrations across sched groups in an
overloaded case.
Fix this by using imbalance_pct only during newly_idle and busy
load balancing. And during idle load balancing, check if there
is an imbalance in number of idle cpu's across the busiest and this
sched_group or if the busiest group has more tasks than its weight that
the idle cpu in this_group can pull.

This patch corrects time tracking in samples. Without this patch
both time_enabled and time_running are bogus when user asks for
PERF_SAMPLE_READ.
One uses PERF_SAMPLE_READ to sample the values of other counters
in each sample. Because of multiplexing, it is necessary to know
both time_enabled, time_running to be able to scale counts correctly.
In this second version of the patch, we maintain a shadow
copy of ctx->time which allows us to compute ctx->time without
calling update_context_time() from NMI context. We avoid the
issue that update_context_time() must always be called with
ctx->lock held.
We do not keep shadow copies of the other event timings
because if the lead event is overflowing then it is active
and thus it's been scheduled in via event_sched_in() in
which case neither tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running can be modified.
This timing logic only applies to samples when PERF_SAMPLE_READ
is used.
Note that this patch does not address timing issues related
to sampling inheritance between tasks. This will be addressed
in a future patch.
With this patch, the libpfm4 example task_smpl now reports

REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers. What's left
at this point is:
- various checks inside the block layer.
- sanity checks in bio based drivers.
- now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
- Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
- setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
drivers.
- scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
- blktrace handling of barriers - removed. Someone who knows blktrace
better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.

Since commit 1dcc41bb (futex: Change 3rd arg of fetch_robust_entry()
to unsigned int*) some gcc versions decided to emit the following
warning:
kernel/futex.c: In function ‘exit_robust_list’:
kernel/futex.c:2492: warning: ‘next_pi’ may be used uninitialized in this function
The commit did not introduce the warning as gcc should have warned
before that commit as well. It's just gcc being silly.
The code path really can't result in next_pi being unitialized (or
should not), but let's keep the build clean. Annotate next_pi as an
uninitialized_var.
[ tglx: Addressed the same issue in futex_compat.c and massaged the
changelog ]

s390 doesn't need FRAME_POINTERS in order to have a working function tracer.
We don't need frame pointers in order to get strack traces since we always
have valid backchains by using the -mkernel-backchain gcc option.

Commit d9ca07a05c ("watchdog: Avoid kernel crash when disabling
watchdog") introduces a section mismatch.
Now that we reference no_watchdog from non-__init code it can no longer
be __initdata.
