13aa9a6b0f pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: use SEND_SIG_NOINFO instead of force_sig()
zap_pid_ns_processes() uses force_sig(SIGKILL) to ensure SIGKILL will be
delivered to sub-namespace inits as well.  This is correct, but we are
going to change force_sig_info() semantics.  See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15395#c31

We can use send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_NOINFO) instead, since
614c517d7c00af1b26ded20646b329397d6f51a1 ("signals: SEND_SIG_NOINFO should
be considered as SI_FROMUSER()") SEND_SIG_NOINFO means "from user" and
therefore send_signal() will get the correct from_ancestor_ns = T flag.

4ab78683c1 cgroups: fix race between userspace and kernelspace
Notify userspace about cgroup removing only after rmdir of cgroup
directory to avoid race between userspace and kernelspace.

eventfd are used to notify about two types of event:
 - control file-specific, like crossing memory threshold;
 - cgroup removing.

To understand what really happen, userspace can check if the cgroup still
exists.  To avoid race beetween userspace and kernelspace we have to
notify userspace about cgroup removing only after rmdir of cgroup
directory.

0dea116876 cgroup: implement eventfd-based generic API for notifications
This patchset introduces eventfd-based API for notifications in cgroups
and implements memory notifications on top of it.

It uses statistics in memory controler to track memory usage.

Output of time(1) on building kernel on tmpfs:

Non-root cgroup after changes (1 thresholds, never crossed):
	make -j2  507.55 user 64.08s system 193% cpu 4:55.63 total

This patch:

Introduce the write-only file "cgroup.event_control" in every cgroup.

To register new notification handler you need:
- create an eventfd;
- open a control file to be monitored. Callbacks register_event() and
  unregister_event() must be defined for the control file;
- write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
  Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;

eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the
cgroup is removed.

To unregister notification handler just close eventfd.

If you need notification functionality for a control file you have to
implement callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() in the
struct cftype.

cf5d5941fd cgroups: subsystem module unloading
Provides support for unloading modular subsystems.

This patch adds a new function cgroup_unload_subsys which is to be used
for removing a loaded subsystem during module deletion.  Reference
counting of the subsystems' modules is moved from once (at load time) to
once per attached hierarchy (in parse_cgroupfs_options and
rebind_subsystems) (i.e., 0 or 1).

e6a1105ba0 cgroups: subsystem module loading interface
Add interface between cgroups subsystem management and module loading

This patch implements rudimentary module-loading support for cgroups -
namely, a cgroup_load_subsys (similar to cgroup_init_subsys) for use as a
module initcall, and a struct module pointer in struct cgroup_subsys.

Several functions that might be wanted by modules have had EXPORT_SYMBOL
added to them, but it's unclear exactly which functions want it and which
won't.

aae8aab403 cgroups: revamp subsys array
This patch series provides the ability for cgroup subsystems to be
compiled as modules both within and outside the kernel tree.  This is
mainly useful for classifiers and subsystems that hook into components
that are already modules.  cls_cgroup and blkio-cgroup serve as the
example use cases for this feature.

It provides an interface cgroup_load_subsys() and cgroup_unload_subsys()
which modular subsystems can use to register and depart during runtime.
The net_cls classifier subsystem serves as the example for a subsystem
which can be converted into a module using these changes.

Patch #1 sets up the subsys[] array so its contents can be dynamic as
modules appear and (eventually) disappear.  Iterations over the array are
modified to handle when subsystems are absent, and the dynamic section of
the array is protected by cgroup_mutex.

Patch #2 implements an interface for modules to load subsystems, called
cgroup_load_subsys, similar to cgroup_init_subsys, and adds a module
pointer in struct cgroup_subsys.

Patch #3 adds a mechanism for unloading modular subsystems, which includes
a more advanced rework of the rudimentary reference counting introduced in
patch 2.

Patch #4 modifies the net_cls subsystem, which already had some module
declarations, to be configurable as a module, which also serves as a
simple proof-of-concept.

Part of implementing patches 2 and 4 involved updating css pointers in
each css_set when the module appears or leaves.  In doing this, it was
discovered that css_sets always remain linked to the dummy cgroup,
regardless of whether or not any subsystems are actually bound to it
(i.e., not mounted on an actual hierarchy).  The subsystem loading and
unloading code therefore should keep in mind the special cases where the
added subsystem is the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all
css_sets need to be linked back into it) and where the removed subsys was
the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all css_sets should be
unlinked from it) - however, as all css_sets always stay attached to the
dummy cgroup anyway, these cases are ignored.  Any fix that addresses this
issue should also make sure these cases are addressed in the subsystem
loading and unloading code.

This patch:

Make subsys[] able to be dynamically populated to support modular
subsystems

This patch reworks the way the subsys[] array is used so that subsystems
can register themselves after boot time, and enables the internals of
cgroups to be able to handle when subsystems are not present or may
appear/disappear.

d7b9fff711 cgroup: introduce coalesce css_get() and css_put()
Current css_get() and css_put() increment/decrement css->refcnt one by
one.

This patch add a new function __css_get(), which takes "count" as a arg
and increment the css->refcnt by "count".  And this patch also add a new
arg("count") to __css_put() and change the function to decrement the
css->refcnt by "count".

These coalesce version of __css_get()/__css_put() will be used to improve
performance of memcg's moving charge feature later, where instead of
calling css_get()/css_put() repeatedly, these new functions will be used.

No change is needed for current users of css_get()/css_put().

baed7fc9b5 Add generic sys_ipc wrapper
Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall.  Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.

There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters.  frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere.  The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.

Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

printing it out anyway if the timer's detached.

Untested, just an Ingo trollpatch.

80a05b9ffa clockevents: Sanitize min_delta_ns adjustment and prevent overflows
The current logic which handles clock events programming failures can
increase min_delta_ns unlimited and even can cause overflows.

Sanitize it by:
 - prevent zero increase when min_delta_ns == 1
 - limiting min_delta_ns to a jiffie
 - bail out if the jiffie limit is hit
 - add retries stats for /proc/timer_list so we can gather data

220b140b52 perf_event: Fix oops triggered by cpu offline/online
Anton Blanchard found that he could reliably make the kernel hit a
BUG_ON in the slab allocator by taking a cpu offline and then online
while a system-wide perf record session was running.

The reason is that when the cpu comes up, we completely reinitialize
the ctx field of the struct perf_cpu_context for the cpu.  If there is
a system-wide perf record session running, then there will be a struct
perf_event that has a reference to the context, so its refcount will
be 2.  (The perf_event has been removed from the context's group_entry
and event_entry lists by perf_event_exit_cpu(), but that doesn't
remove the perf_event's reference to the context and doesn't decrement
the context's refcount.)

When the cpu comes up, perf_event_init_cpu() gets called, and it calls
__perf_event_init_context() on the cpu's context.  That resets the
refcount to 1.  Then when the perf record session finishes and the
perf_event is closed, the refcount gets decremented to 0 and the
context gets kfreed after an RCU grace period.  Since the context
wasn't kmalloced -- it's part of a per-cpu variable -- bad things
happen.

In fact we don't need to completely reinitialize the context when the
cpu comes up.  It's sufficient to initialize the context once at boot,
but we need to do it for all possible cpus.

This moves the context initialization to happen at boot time.  With
this, we don't trash the refcount and the context never gets kfreed,
and we don't hit the BUG_ON.

0b1adaa031 genirq: Prevent oneshot irq thread race
Lars-Peter pointed out that the oneshot threaded interrupt handler
code has the following race:

 CPU0                            CPU1
 hande_level_irq(irq X)
   mask_ack_irq(irq X)
   handle_IRQ_event(irq X)
     wake_up(thread_handler)
                                 thread handler(irq X) runs
                                 finalize_oneshot(irq X)
				  does not unmask due to 
				  !(desc->status & IRQ_MASKED)

 return from irq
 does not unmask due to
 (desc->status & IRQ_ONESHOT)
  				  
This leaves the interrupt line masked forever. 

The reason for this is the inconsistent handling of the IRQ_MASKED
flag. Instead of setting it in the mask function the oneshot support
sets the flag after waking up the irq thread.

The solution for this is to set/clear the IRQ_MASKED status whenever
we mask/unmask an interrupt line. That's the easy part, but that
cleanup opens another race:

 CPU0                            CPU1
 hande_level_irq(irq)
   mask_ack_irq(irq)
   handle_IRQ_event(irq)
     wake_up(thread_handler)
                                 thread handler(irq) runs
                                 finalize_oneshot_irq(irq)
				  unmask(irq)
     irq triggers again
     handle_level_irq(irq)
       mask_ack_irq(irq)
     return from irq due to IRQ_INPROGRESS				  

 return from irq
 does not unmask due to
 (desc->status & IRQ_ONESHOT)

This requires that we synchronize finalize_oneshot_irq() with the
primary handler. If IRQ_INPROGESS is set we wait until the primary
handler on the other CPU has returned before unmasking the interrupt
line again.

We probably have never seen that problem because it does not happen on
UP and on SMP the irqbalancer protects us by pinning the primary
handler and the thread to the same CPU.

c530665c31 perf: Take a hot regs snapshot for trace events
We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers.
Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted
registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs()
which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming
we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case
task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel
thread was started.

What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs,
so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the
sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other
things.

Let's use the new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for that.

Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g
Before:

        perf  [kernel]                   [k] __do_softirq
               |
               --- __do_softirq
                  |
                  |--55.16%-- __open
                  |
                   --44.84%-- __write_nocancel

After:

            perf  [kernel]           [k] perf_tp_event
               |
               --- perf_tp_event
                  |
                  |--41.07%-- lock_acquire
                  |          |
                  |          |--39.36%-- _raw_spin_lock
                  |          |          |
                  |          |          |--7.81%-- hrtimer_interrupt
                  |          |          |          smp_apic_timer_interrupt
                  |          |          |          apic_timer_interrupt

The old case was producing unreliable callchains. Now having
right frame and instruction pointers, we have the trace we
want.

Also syscalls and kprobe events already have the right regs,
let's use them instead of wasting a retrieval.

v2: Follow the rename perf_save_regs() -> perf_fetch_caller_regs()

5331d7b846 perf: Introduce new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for hot regs snapshot
Events that trigger overflows by interrupting a context can
use get_irq_regs() or task_pt_regs() to retrieve the state
when the event triggered. But this is not the case for some
other class of events like trace events as tracepoints are
executed in the same context than the code that triggered
the event.

It means we need a different api to capture the regs there,
namely we need a hot snapshot to get the most important
informations for perf: the instruction pointer to get the
event origin, the frame pointer for the callchain, the code
segment for user_mode() tests (we always use __KERNEL_CS as
trace events always occur from the kernel) and the eflags
for further purposes.

v2: rename perf_save_regs to perf_fetch_caller_regs as per
Masami's suggestion.

db2c4c7791 lockdep: Move lock events under lockdep recursion protection
There are rcu locked read side areas in the path where we submit
a trace event. And these rcu_read_(un)lock() trigger lock events,
which create recursive events.

One pair in do_perf_sw_event:

__lock_acquire
      |
      |--96.11%-- lock_acquire
      |          |
      |          |--27.21%-- do_perf_sw_event
      |          |          perf_tp_event
      |          |          |
      |          |          |--49.62%-- ftrace_profile_lock_release
      |          |          |          lock_release
      |          |          |          |
      |          |          |          |--33.85%-- _raw_spin_unlock

Another pair in perf_output_begin/end:

__lock_acquire
      |--23.40%-- perf_output_begin
      |          |          __perf_event_overflow
      |          |          perf_swevent_overflow
      |          |          perf_swevent_add
      |          |          perf_swevent_ctx_event
      |          |          do_perf_sw_event
      |          |          perf_tp_event
      |          |          |
      |          |          |--55.37%-- ftrace_profile_lock_acquire
      |          |          |          lock_acquire
      |          |          |          |
      |          |          |          |--37.31%-- _raw_spin_lock

The problem is not that much the trace recursion itself, as we have a
recursion protection already (though it's always wasteful to recurse).
But the trace events are outside the lockdep recursion protection, then
each lockdep event triggers a lock trace, which will trigger two
other lockdep events. Here the recursive lock trace event won't
be taken because of the trace recursion, so the recursion stops there
but lockdep will still analyse these new events:

To sum up, for each lockdep events we have:

	lock_*()
	     |
             trace lock_acquire
                  |
                  ----- rcu_read_lock()
                  |          |
                  |          lock_acquire()
                  |          |
                  |          trace_lock_acquire() (stopped)
                  |          |
		  |          lockdep analyze
                  |
                  ----- rcu_read_unlock()
                             |
                             lock_release
                             |
                             trace_lock_release() (stopped)
                             |
                             lockdep analyze

And you can repeat the above two times as we have two rcu read side
sections when we submit an event.

This is fixed in this patch by moving the lock trace event under
the lockdep recursion protection.

361795b1eb sysfs: Use sysfs_attr_init and sysfs_bin_attr_init on module dynamic attributes
A little more whack-a-mole annotating the dynamic sysfs attributes.  I
had everything built into my earlier test kernel, and so I missed
these.

a07e4156a2 sysfs: Use sysfs_attr_init and sysfs_bin_attr_init on dynamic attributes
These are the non-static sysfs attributes that exist on
my test machine.  Fix them to use sysfs_attr_init or
sysfs_bin_attr_init as appropriate.   It simply requires
making a sysfs attribute present to see this.  So this
is a little bit tedious but otherwise not too bad.

52cf25d0ab Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type
Constify struct sysfs_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

c9be0a36f9 sysdev: Pass attribute in sysdev_class attributes show/store
Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds
of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring
an own function for every piece of data.

Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields
and use that in the low level function.

Similar to sysdev_attributes and normal attributes.

This is a tree-wide sweep, converting everything in one go.

No functional changes in this patch other than passing the new
argument everywhere.

Tested on x86, the non x86 parts are uncompiled.

8d9032bbe4 elf coredump: add extended numbering support
The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535.  This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have.  In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas.  (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.

This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.

This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

1fcccbac89 elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions
elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions.  This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions.  For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.

This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.
