860c0aaff7 audit: Don't pass pid or uid to audit_log_common_recv_msg
The only place we use the uid and the pid that we calculate in
audit_receive_msg is in audit_log_common_recv_msg so move the
calculation of these values into the audit_log_common_recv_msg.

Simplify the calcuation of the current pid and uid by
reading them from current instead of reading them from
NETLINK_CREDS.

35ce9888ad audit: Properly set the origin port id of audit messages.
For user generated audit messages set the portid field in the netlink
header to the netlink port where the user generated audit message came
from.  Reporting the process id in a port id field was just nonsense.

8aa14b6498 audit: Simply AUDIT_TTY_SET and AUDIT_TTY_GET
Use current instead of looking up the current up the current task by
process identifier.  Netlink requests are processed in trhe context of
the sending task so this is safe.

02276bda4a audit: Use current instead of NETLINK_CREDS() in audit_filter
Get caller process uid and gid and pid values from the current task
instead of the NETLINK_CB.  This is simpler than passing NETLINK_CREDS
from from audit_receive_msg to audit_filter_user_rules and avoid the
chance of being hit by the occassional bugs in netlink uid/gid
credential passing.  This is a safe changes because all netlink
requests are processed in the task of the sending process.

34e36d8ecb audit: Limit audit requests to processes in the initial pid and user namespaces.
This allows the code to safely make the assumption that all of the
uids gids and pids that need to be send in audit messages are in the
initial namespaces.

If someone cares we may lift this restriction someday but start with
limiting access so at least the code is always correct.

6c1423ba5d Merge branch 'for-3.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq into for-3.7
This merge is necessary as Lai's CPU hotplug restructuring series
depends on the CPU hotplug bug fixes in for-3.6-fixes.

The merge creates one trivial conflict between the following two
commits.

 96e65306b8 "workqueue: UNBOUND -> REBIND morphing in rebind_workers() should be atomic"
 e2b6a6d570 "workqueue: use system_highpri_wq for highpri workers in rebind_workers()"

Both add local variable definitions to the same block and can be
merged in any order.

Pull another workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
 "Unfortunately, yet another late fix.  This too is discovered and fixed
  by Lai.  This bug was introduced during this merge window by commit
  25511a477657 ("workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle
  idle workers") which started using WORKER_REBIND flag for idle rebind
  too.

  The bug is relatively easy to trigger if the CPU rapidly goes through
  off, on and then off (and stay off).  The fix is on the safer side.
  This hasn't been on linux-next yet but I'm pushing early so that it
  can get more exposure before v3.6 release."

960bd11bf2 workqueue: always clear WORKER_REBIND in busy_worker_rebind_fn()
busy_worker_rebind_fn() didn't clear WORKER_REBIND if rebinding failed
(CPU is down again).  This used to be okay because the flag wasn't
used for anything else.

However, after 25511a477 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding
to handle idle workers", WORKER_REBIND is also used to command idle
workers to rebind.  If not cleared, the worker may confuse the next
CPU_UP cycle by having REBIND spuriously set or oops / get stuck by
prematurely calling idle_worker_rebind().

579035dc5d pid-namespace: limit value of ns_last_pid to (0, max_pid)
The kernel doesn't check the pid for negative values, so if you try to
write -2 to /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid, you will get a kernel panic.

The crash happens because the next pid is -1, and alloc_pidmap() will
try to access to a nonexistent pidmap.

  map = &pid_ns->pidmap[pid/BITS_PER_PAGE];

37407ea7f9 Revert "sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies', which withstand random perturbations"
This reverts commit 970e178985cadbca660feb02f4d2ee3a09f7fdda.

Nikolay Ulyanitsky reported thatthe 3.6-rc5 kernel has a 15-20%
performance drop on PostgreSQL 9.2 on his machine (running "pgbench").

Borislav Petkov was able to reproduce this, and bisected it to this
commit 970e178985ca ("sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies' ...")
apparently because the new single-idle-buddy model simply doesn't find
idle CPU's to reschedule on aggressively enough.

Mike Galbraith suspects that it is likely due to the user-mode spinlocks
in PostgreSQL not reacting well to preemption, but we don't really know
the details - I'll just revert the commit for now.

There are hopefully other approaches to improve scheduler scalability
without it causing these kinds of downsides.

9d77878226 uprobes: Introduce arch_uprobe_enable/disable_step()

[0] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120730141638.GA5306@redhat.com

Add the new "__weak arch" helpers which simply call user_*_single_step()
as a preparation. This is only needed to not break the powerpc port, we
will fold this logic into arch_uprobe_pre/post_xol() hooks later.

We should also change handle_singlestep(), _disable_step(&uprobe->arch)
should be called before put_uprobe().

499a4f3ec0 uprobes: Teach find_active_uprobe() to clear MMF_HAS_UPROBES
The wrong MMF_HAS_UPROBES doesn't really hurt, just it triggers
the "slow" and unnecessary handle_swbp() path if the task hits
the non-uprobe breakpoint.

So this patch changes find_active_uprobe() to check every valid
vma and clear MMF_HAS_UPROBES if no uprobes were found. This is
adds the slow O(n) path, but it is only called in unlikely case
when the task hits the normal breakpoint first time after
uprobe_unregister().

Note the "not strictly accurate" comment in mmf_recalc_uprobes().
We can fix this, we only need to teach vma_has_uprobes() to return
a bit more more info, but I am not sure this worth the trouble.

Add the new MMF_RECALC_UPROBES flag, it means that MMF_HAS_UPROBES
can be false positive after remove_breakpoint() or uprobe_munmap().
It is also set by uprobe_dup_mmap(), this is not optimal but simple.
We could add the new hook, uprobe_dup_vma(), to set MMF_HAS_UPROBES
only if the new mm actually has uprobes, but I don't think this
makes sense.

The next patch will use this flag to clear MMF_HAS_UPROBES.

8c7f6edbda cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them
Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess.  cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children.  blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup.  Others show yet different behaviors.

These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.

Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy.  Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.

This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support.  The goal of
this patch is two-fold.

* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
  subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
  doesn't surprise them.

* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
  subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.

For now, start with a single warning message.  We can whine louder
later on.

v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.

v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
    cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
    different from root.use_hierarchy=true.  Fixed a typo spotted by
    Glauber.

v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
    ->create() can affect the result per Michal.  Dropped unnecessary
    memcg root handling per Michal.

8a8e04df47 cgroup: Assign subsystem IDs during compile time
WARNING: With this change it is impossible to load external built
controllers anymore.

In case where CONFIG_NETPRIO_CGROUP=m and CONFIG_NET_CLS_CGROUP=m is
set, corresponding subsys_id should also be a constant. Up to now,
net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id would be of the type int and
the value would be assigned during runtime.

By switching the macro definition IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED from IS_BUILTIN
to IS_ENABLED, all *_subsys_id will have constant value. That means we
need to remove all the code which assumes a value can be assigned to
net_prio_subsys_id and net_cls_subsys_id.

A close look is necessary on the RCU part which was introduces by
following patch:

	  /* We can't use rcu_assign_pointer because this is an int. */
	  smp_wmb();
	  net_cls_subsys_id = net_cls_subsys.subsys_id;

  respectively to exit_cgroup_cls()

	  net_cls_subsys_id = -1;
	  synchronize_rcu();

  and in module version of task_cls_classid()

	  rcu_read_lock();
	  id = rcu_dereference(net_cls_subsys_id);
	  if (id >= 0)
		  classid = container_of(task_subsys_state(p, id),
					 struct cgroup_cls_state, css)->classid;
	  rcu_read_unlock();

Without an explicit explaination why the RCU part is needed. (The
rcu_deference was fixed by exchanging it to rcu_derefence_index_check()
in a later commit, but that is a minor detail.)

So here is my pondering why it was introduced and why it safe to
remove it now. Note that this code was copied over to net_prio the
reasoning holds for that subsystem too.

The idea behind the RCU use for net_cls_subsys_id is to make sure we
get a valid pointer back from task_subsys_state(). task_subsys_state()
is just blindly accessing the subsys array and returning the
pointer. Obviously, passing in -1 as id into task_subsys_state()
returns an invalid value (out of lower bound).

So this code makes sure that only after module is loaded and the
subsystem registered, the id is assigned.

Before unregistering the module all old readers must have left the
critical section. This is done by assigning -1 to the id and issuing a
synchronized_rcu(). Any new readers wont call task_subsys_state()
anymore and therefore it is safe to unregister the subsystem.

The new code relies on the same trick, but it looks at the subsys
pointer return by task_subsys_state() (remember the id is constant
and therefore we allways have a valid index into the subsys
array).

No precautions need to be taken during module loading
module. Eventually, all CPUs will get a valid pointer back from
task_subsys_state() because rebind_subsystem() which is called after
the module init() function will assigned subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] the
newly loaded module subsystem pointer.

When the subsystem is about to be removed, rebind_subsystem() will
called before the module exit() function. In this case,
rebind_subsys() will assign subsys[net_cls_subsys_id] a NULL pointer
and then it calls synchronize_rcu(). All old readers have left by then
the critical section. Any new reader wont access the subsystem
anymore.  At this point we are safe to unregister the subsystem. No
synchronize_rcu() call is needed.

80f4c87774 cgroup: Do not depend on a given order when populating the subsys array
The *_subsys_id will be used as index to access the subsys. Therefore
we need to care we populate the subsystem at the correct position by
using designated initialization.

With this change we are able to interleave builtin and modules in the subsys

5fc0b02544 cgroup: Wrap subsystem selection macro
Before we are able to define all subsystem ids at compile time we need
a more fine grained control what gets defined when we include
cgroup_subsys.h. For example we define the enums for the subsystems or
to declare for struct cgroup_subsys (builtin subsystem) by including
cgroup_subsys.h and defining SUBSYS accordingly.

Currently, the decision if a subsys is used is defined inside the
header by testing if CONFIG_*=y is true. By moving this test outside
of cgroup_subsys.h we are able to control it on the include level.

This is done by introducing IS_SUBSYS_ENABLED which then is defined
according the task, e.g. is CONFIG_*=y or CONFIG_*=m.

be45c900fd cgroup: Remove CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT
CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT is used as start index or stop index when
looping over the subsys array looking either at the builtin or the
module subsystems. Since all the builtin subsystems have an id which
is lower then CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT we know that any module will
have an id larger than CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT. In short the ids
are sorted.

We are about to change id assignment to happen only at compile time
later in this series. That means we can't rely on the above trick
since all ids will always be defined at compile time. Furthermore,
ordering the builtin subsystems and the module subsystems is not
really necessary.

So we need a different way to know which subsystem is a builtin or a
module one. We can use the subsys[]->module pointer for this. Any
place where we need to know if a subsys is module we just check for
the pointer. If it is NULL then the subsystem is a builtin one.

With this we are able to drop the CGROUP_BUILTIN_SUBSYS_COUNT
enum. Though we need to introduce a temporary placeholder so that we
don't get a compilation error when only CONFIG_CGROUP is selected and
no single controller. An empty enum definition is not valid. Later in
this series we are able to remove the placeholder again.

And with this change we get a fix for this:

kernel/cgroup.c: In function ‘cgroup_load_subsys’:
kernel/cgroup.c:4326:38: warning: array subscript is below array bounds [-Warray-bounds]

when CONFIG_CGROUP=y and no built in controller was enabled.

c6aaf4d0bb kprobes/x86: Fix to support jprobes on ftrace-based kprobe
Fix kprobes/x86 to support jprobes on ftrace-based kprobes.
Because of -mfentry support of ftrace, ftrace is now put
on the beginning of function where jprobes are put.

Originally ftrace-based kprobes doesn't support jprobe
because it will change regs->ip and ftrace doesn't support
changing IP and ftrace itself doesn't conflict jprobe.
However, ftrace -mfentry support moves mcount call on the
top of functions where jprobes are put. This means that
jprobe always conflicts with ftrace-based kprobe and fails.

This patch allows ftrace-based kprobes to support jprobes
by allowing to modify regs->ip and kprobes breakpoint
handler also allows to skip singlestepping because there
is a ftrace call (not an original instruction).

Commit 56449f437 "tracing: make the trace clocks available generally",

CONFIG_X86_DS used it too.

Commit faa4602e47 "x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code",
in March 2010, removed CONFIG_X86_DS, and now only CONFIG_RING_BUFFER (split
out from CONFIG_TRACING for general use) has a dependency on trace_clock. So,
only compile in trace_clock with CONFIG_RING_BUFFER or CONFIG_TRACING
enabled.

ec145babe7 time: Fix timeekeping_get_ns overflow on 32bit systems
Daniel Lezcano reported seeing multi-second stalls from
keyboard input on his T61 laptop when NOHZ and CPU_IDLE
were enabled on a 32bit kernel.

He bisected the problem down to commit
1e75fa8be9fb6 ("time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec").

After reproducing this issue, I narrowed the problem down
to the fact that timekeeping_get_ns() returns a 64bit
nsec value that hasn't been accumulated. In some cases
this value was being then stored in timespec.tv_nsec
(which is a long).

On 32bit systems, with idle times larger then 4 seconds
(or less, depending on the value of xtime_nsec), the
returned nsec value would overflow 32bits. This limited
kept time from increasing, causing timers to not expire.

The fix is to make sure we don't directly store the
result of timekeeping_get_ns() into a tv_nsec field,
instead using a 64bit nsec value which can then be
added into the timespec via timespec_add_ns().

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "It's later than I'd like but well the timing just didn't work out this
  time.

  There are three bug fixes.  One from before 3.6-rc1 and two from the
  new CPU hotplug code.  Kudos to Lai for discovering all of them and
  providing fixes.

   * Atomicity bug when clearing a flag and setting another.  The two
     operation should have been atomic but wasn't.  This bug has existed
     for a long time but is unlikely to have actually happened.  Fix is
     safe.  Marked for -stable.

   * If CPU hotplug cycles happen back-to-back before workers finish the
     previous cycle, the states could get out of sync and it could get
     stuck.  Fixed by waiting for workers to complete before finishing
     hotplug cycle.

   * While CPU hotplug is in progress, idle workers could be depleted
     which can then lead to deadlock.  I think both happening together
     is highly unlikely but still better to fix it and the fix isn't too
     scary.

  There's another workqueue related regression which reported a few days
  ago:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47301

  It's a bit of head scratcher but there is a semi-reliable reproduce
  case, so I'm hoping to resolve it soonish."

ee378aa49b workqueue: fix possible idle worker depletion across CPU hotplug
To simplify both normal and CPU hotplug paths, worker management is
prevented while CPU hoplug is in progress.  This is achieved by CPU
hotplug holding the same exclusion mechanism used by workers to ensure
there's only one manager per pool.

If someone else seems to be performing the manager role, workers
proceed to execute work items.  CPU hotplug using the same mechanism
can lead to idle worker depletion because all workers could proceed to
execute work items while CPU hotplug is in progress and CPU hotplug
itself wouldn't actually perform the worker management duty - it
doesn't guarantee that there's an idle worker left when it releases
management.

This idle worker depletion, under extreme circumstances, can break
forward-progress guarantee and thus lead to deadlock.

This patch fixes the bug by using separate mechanisms for manager
exclusion among workers and hotplug exclusion.  For manager exclusion,
POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was restored by the previous patch is
used.  pool->manager_mutex is now only used for exclusion between the
elected manager and CPU hotplug.  The elected manager won't proceed
without holding pool->manager_mutex.

This ensures that the worker which won the manager position can't skip
managing while CPU hotplug is in progress.  It will block on
manager_mutex and perform management after CPU hotplug is complete.

Note that hotplug may happen while waiting for manager_mutex.  A
manager isn't either on idle or busy list and thus the hoplug code
can't unbind/rebind it.  Make the manager handle its own un/rebinding.
