20c2df83d2 mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

2d9ce177e6 i386: Allow KVM on i386 nonpae
Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of
the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family.
Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(),
this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae.

Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made
dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed
without constraints.  It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM
does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).

626ac545c1 user namespace: fix copy_user_ns return value
When a CONFIG_USER_NS=n and a user tries to unshare some namespace other
than the user namespace, the dummy copy_user_ns returns NULL rather than
the old_ns.

This value then gets assigned to task->nsproxy->user_ns, so that a
subsequent setuid, which uses task->nsproxy->user_ns, causes a NULL
pointer deref.

Fix this by returning old_ns.

 - Don't remove the file if the filehandle has been labelled as stale.

c0d1217202 drivers/edac: add new nmi rescan
Provides a way for NMI reported errors on x86 to notify the EDAC
subsystem pending ECC errors by writing to a software state variable.

Here's the reworked patch. I added an EDAC stub to the kernel so we can
have variables that are in the kernel even if EDAC is a module. I also
implemented the idea of using the chip driver to select error detection
mode via module parameter and eliminate the kernel compile option.
Please review/test. Thx!

Also, I only made changes to some of the chipset drivers since I am
unfamiliar with the other ones. We can add similar changes as we go.

07ad157f6e lguest: the guest code
lguest is a simple hypervisor for Linux on Linux.  Unlike kvm it doesn't need
VT/SVM hardware.  Unlike Xen it's simply "modprobe and go".  Unlike both, it's
5000 lines and self-contained.

Performance is ok, but not great (-30% on kernel compile).  But given its
hackability, I expect this to improve, along with the paravirt_ops code which
it supplies a complete example for.  There's also a 64-bit version being
worked on and other craziness.

But most of all, lguest is awesome fun!  Too much of the kernel is a big ball
of hair.  lguest is simple enough to dive into and hack, plus has some warts
which scream "fork me!".

This patch:

This is the code and headers required to make an i386 kernel an lguest guest.

We measure acquisition and contention bouncing.

This is done by recording a cpu stamp in each lock instance.

Contention bouncing requires the cpu stamp to be set on acquisition. Hence we
move __acquired into the generic path.

__acquired is then used to measure acquisition bouncing by comparing the
current cpu with the old stamp before replacing it.

__contended is used to measure contention bouncing (only useful for preemptable
locks)

Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count
of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few
call-sites that encounter contention are tracked.

Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight
into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of
a too coarse locking scheme.

Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for
the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective.

  1)
    lock
  2)
    ... do stuff ..
    unlock
  3)

The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the
hold-time.

The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks
into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure
for lock instrumentation.

Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks:

  lock()
    lock_acquire()
    _lock()

 ... code protected by lock ...

  unlock()
    lock_release()
    _unlock()

We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention.

  lock_contended() - used to measure contention events
  lock_acquired()  - completion of the contention

These are then placed the following way:

  lock()
    lock_acquire()
    if (!_try_lock())
      lock_contended()
      _lock()
      lock_acquired()

 ... do locked stuff ...

  unlock()
    lock_release()
    _unlock()

(Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform
       dependent lock primitive implementations.)

It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using:

  /proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking
  /proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat

(esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help)

21f8ca3bf6 fix raw_spinlock_t vs lockdep
Use the lockdep infrastructure to track lock contention and other lock
statistics.

It tracks lock contention events, and the first four unique call-sites that
encountered contention.

It also measures lock wait-time and hold-time in nanoseconds. The minimum and
maximum times are tracked, as well as a total (which together with the number
of event can give the avg).

All statistics are done per lock class, per write (exclusive state) and per read
(shared state).

The statistics are collected per-cpu, so that the collection overhead is
minimized via having no global cachemisses.

This new lock statistics feature is independent of the lock dependency checking
traditionally done by lockdep; it just shares the lock tracking code. It is
also possible to enable both and runtime disabled either component - thereby
avoiding the O(n^2) lock chain walks for instance.

This patch:

raw_spinlock_t should not use lockdep (and doesn't) since lockdep itself
relies on it.

cbe87121f1 i386: Put allocated ELF notes in read-only data segment
This changes the i386 linker script and the asm-generic macro it uses so that
ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image along
with other read-only data.  The PT_NOTE also points to their location.

This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes
that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.

3cb4a0bb1e coredump masking: add an interface for core dump filter
This patch adds an interface to set/reset flags which determines each memory
segment should be dumped or not when a core file is generated.

/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter file is provided to access the flags.  You can
change the flag status for a particular process by writing to or reading from
the file.

The flag status is inherited to the child process when it is created.

This patch changes mm_struct.dumpable to a pair of bit flags.

set_dumpable() converts three-value dumpable to two flags and stores it into
lower two bits of mm_struct.flags instead of mm_struct.dumpable.
get_dumpable() behaves in the opposite way.

16f1820028 fs: introduce vfs_path_lookup
Stackable file systems, among others, frequently need to lookup paths or
path components starting from an arbitrary point in the namespace
(identified by a dentry and a vfsmount).  Currently, such file systems use
lookup_one_len, which is frowned upon [1] as it does not pass the lookup
intent along; not passing a lookup intent, for example, can trigger BUG_ON's
when stacking on top of NFSv4.

The first patch introduces a new lookup function to allow lookup starting
from an arbitrary point in the namespace.  This approach has been suggested
by Christoph Hellwig [2].

The second patch changes sunrpc to use vfs_path_lookup.

The third patch changes nfsctl.c to use vfs_path_lookup.

The fourth patch marks link_path_walk static.

The fifth, and last patch, unexports path_walk because it is no longer
unnecessary to call it directly, and using the new vfs_path_lookup is
cleaner.

For example, the following snippet of code, looks up "some/path/component"
in a directory pointed to by parent_{dentry,vfsmnt}:

err = vfs_path_lookup(parent_dentry, parent_vfsmnt,
		      "some/path/component", 0, &nd);
if (!err) {
	/* exits */

	...

	/* once done, release the references */
	path_release(&nd);
} else if (err == -ENOENT) {
	/* doesn't exist */
} else {
	/* other error */
}

VFS functions such as lookup_create can be used on the nameidata structure
to pass the create intent to the file system.

b6a2fea393 mm: variable length argument support
Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.

We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space.  Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.

It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

bdf4c48af2 audit: rework execve audit
The purpose of audit_bprm() is to log the argv array to a userspace daemon at
the end of the execve system call.  Since user-space hasn't had time to run,
this array is still in pristine state on the process' stack; so no need to
copy it, we can just grab it from there.

In order to minimize the damage to audit_log_*() copy each string into a
temporary kernel buffer first.

Currently the audit code requires that the full argument vector fits in a
single packet.  So currently it does clip the argv size to a (sysctl) limit,
but only when execve auditing is enabled.

If the audit protocol gets extended to allow for multiple packets this check
can be removed.
