7a46c594bf cpuacct: reduce one NULL check in fast-path
Impact: micro-optimization

In cpuacct_charge(), task_ca() will never return NULL, so change
for(...) to do { } while(...) to save one NULL check.

be50b8342d kernel/user.c: fix a memory leak when freeing up non-init usernamespaces users
We were returning early in the sysfs directory cleanup function if the
user belonged to a non init usernamespace.  Due to this a lot of the
cleanup was not done and we were left with a leak.  Fix the leak.

2d5516cbb9 copy_process: fix CLONE_PARENT && parent_exec_id interaction
CLONE_PARENT can fool the ->self_exec_id/parent_exec_id logic. If we
re-use the old parent, we must also re-use ->parent_exec_id to make
sure exit_notify() sees the right ->xxx_exec_id's when the CLONE_PARENT'ed
task exits.

Also, move down the "p->parent_exec_id = p->self_exec_id" thing, to place
two different cases together.

Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
process context with interrupts enabled.

So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:

Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
happens which updates accouting values.  This causes acct_timexpd to be
greater than the former stime + utime.  The subsequent calculation of

	dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);

will be negative and the division performed by

	cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)

will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
register.

In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
of the accounting values.

edcb463997 percpu, module: implement reserved allocation and use it for module percpu variables
Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
	percpu variables

This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk.  When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator.  This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.

If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation.  If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation.  The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.

If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.

64ca5ab913 rcu: increment quiescent state counter in ksoftirqd()
If a machine is flooded by network frames, a cpu can loop
100% of its time inside ksoftirqd() without calling schedule().
This can delay RCU grace period to insane values.

Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem.

Paul: "This regression was a result of the recent change from
"schedule()" to "cond_resched()", which got rid of that quiescent
state in the common case where a reschedule is not needed".

5b1017404a x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.

In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
the wrong system call number table.  The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
instead of TIF_IA32.  Here is an example exploit:

	/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64

	   There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.

	   The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
	   be any chmod call).  The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
	   stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.

	   A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
	   fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.

5170836679 Fix recursive lock in free_uid()/free_user_ns()
free_uid() and free_user_ns() are corecursive when CONFIG_USER_SCHED=n,
but free_user_ns() is called from free_uid() by way of uid_hash_remove(),
which requires uidhash_lock to be held.  free_user_ns() then calls
free_uid() to complete the destruction.

Fix this by deferring the destruction of the user_namespace.

Impact: fix hung task with certain (non-default) rt-limit settings

Corey Hickey reported that on using setuid to change the uid of a
rt process, the process would be unkillable and not be running.
This is because there was no rt runtime for that user group. Add
in a check to see if a user can attach an rt task to its task group.
On failure, return EINVAL, which is also returned in
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED.

a682604838 rcu: Teach RCU that idle task is not quiscent state at boot
This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of
kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin,
Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton.  And cleans up the variable-name
and function-name language.  ;-)

The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up.
During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will
fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of
the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state.  This in turn causes
RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time.

This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks()
function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the
system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a
new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this
transition.  RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable
to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to
determine if it should believe idle_cpu().

Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods
during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces
Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a
no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1.  This allows boot-time code that
calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally.  Note, however, that RCU
callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in
the boot sequence.  Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this
same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its
use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the
scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical
section may be preeempted.

In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the
system_state global variable be __read_mostly.

Changes since v4:

o	Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to
	be less emotional.  ;-)

Changes since v3:

o	WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU
	switches out of boot-time mode before the first context
	switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin.

Changes since v2:

o	Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that
	determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself
	a grace period.

o	The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and
	rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online.

o	The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt
	checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if
	the system is still in early boot.

	This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running
	on a single CPU after booting is complete.

o	Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there
	being but one online CPU.

Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short
rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

403f307576 PM: Fix suspend_console and resume_console to use only one semaphore
This fixes a race where a thread acquires the console while the
console is suspended, and the console is resumed before this
thread releases it. In this case, the secondary console
semaphore would be left locked, and the primary semaphore would
be released twice. This in turn would cause the console switch
on suspend or resume to hang forever.

Note that suspend_console does not actually lock the console
for clients that use acquire_console_sem, it only locks it for
clients that use try_acquire_console_sem. If we change
suspend_console to fully lock the console, then the kernel
may deadlock on suspend. One client of try_acquire_console_sem
is acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk, which uses it to
prevent printk from using the console while it is suspended.

Impact: new scalable dynamic percpu allocator which allows dynamic
        percpu areas to be accessed the same way as static ones

Implement scalable dynamic percpu allocator which can be used for both
static and dynamic percpu areas.  This will allow static and dynamic
areas to share faster direct access methods.  This feature is optional
and enabled only when CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is defined by
arch.  Please read comment on top of mm/percpu.c for details.

There are two allocated per-cpu accessor macros with almost identical
spelling.  The original and far more popular is per_cpu_ptr (44
files), so change over the other 4 files.

4b3e3d2284 tracing: limit the number of loops the ring buffer self test can make
Impact: prevent deadlock if ring buffer gets corrupted

This patch adds a paranoid check to make sure the ring buffer consumer
does not go into an infinite loop. Since the ring buffer has been set
to read only, the consumer should not loop for more than the ring buffer
size. A check is added to make sure the consumer does not loop more than
the ring buffer size.

4d7a077c0c tracing: have function trace select kallsyms
Impact: fix output of function tracer to be useful

The function tracer is pretty useless if KALLSYMS is not configured.
Unless you are good at reading hex values, the function tracer should
select the KALLSYMS configuration.

Also, the dynamic function tracer will fail its self test if KALLSYMS
is not selected.

0c5119c1e6 tracing: disable tracing while testing ring buffer
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on self tests

If one of the tracers are broken and is constantly filling the ring
buffer while the test of the ring buffer is running, it will hang
the box. The reason is that the test is a consumer that will not
stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and
is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never
end. The result is a lockup of the box.

This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace
test constantly filled the ring buffer, because the filter failed
and all functions were being traced. Something was being called
that constantly filled the buffer.

5b058bcde9 tracing/function-graph-tracer: trace the idle tasks
When the function graph tracer is activated, it iterates over the task_list
to allocate a stack to store the return addresses.

But the per cpu idle tasks are not iterated by using
do_each_thread / while_each_thread.

So we have to iterate on them manually.

This fixes somes weirdness in the traces and many losses of traces.

6bc5c366b1 trace: mmiotrace to the tracer menu in Kconfig
Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout

This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it
was forgotten.

CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable
directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel
configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64.

Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own
sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there.
Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture
specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by
x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

391b170f10 mmiotrace: count events lost due to not recording
Impact: enhances lost events counting in mmiotrace

The tracing framework, or the ring buffer facility it uses, has a switch
to stop recording data. When recording is off, the trace events will be
lost. The framework does not count these, so mmiotrace has to count them
itself.

For those in the init namespace, while we're waiting to remove

3997ad317f timers: more consistently use clock vs timer
While reviewing the manpages, I noticed I'd missed some clock vs timer sites.

Make sure that all timer functions call cpu_timer_sample_group() and not
cpu_clock_sample_group(). This ensures that we enable the process wide timer
in time, and therefore pay the O(n) thread group cost from the syscall.

Not doing it here, will result in the first jiffy tick after setting the timer
doing this, resulting in a very expensive tick (but only once) and a delay in
actually starting the timer.
