The current documentation of dirty_ratio and dirty_background_ratio is a
bit misleading.
In the documentation we say that they are "a percentage of total system
memory", but the current page writeback policy, intead, is to apply the
percentages to the dirtyable memory, that means free pages + reclaimable
pages.
Better to be more explicit to clarify this concept.

Presently hugepage's vma has a VM_RESERVED flag in order not to be
swapped. But a VM_RESERVED vma isn't core dumped because this flag is
often used for some kernel vmas (e.g. vmalloc, sound related).
Thus hugepages are never dumped and it can't be debugged easily. Many
developers want hugepages to be included into core-dump.
However, We can't read generic VM_RESERVED area because this area is often
IO mapping area. then these area reading may change device state. it is
definitly undesiable side-effect.
So adding a hugepage specific bit to the coredump filter is better. It
will be able to hugepage core dumping and doesn't cause any side-effect to
any i/o devices.
In additional, libhugetlb use hugetlb private mapping pages as anonymous
page. Then, hugepage private mapping pages should be core dumped by
default.
Then, /proc/[pid]/core_dump_filter has two new bits.
- bit 5 mean hugetlb private mapping pages are dumped or not. (default: yes)
- bit 6 mean hugetlb shared mapping pages are dumped or not. (default: no)

[mszeredi@suse.cz] rewrite and split big patch into managable chunks
/proc/mounts in its current form lacks important information:
- propagation state
- root of mount for bind mounts
- the st_dev value used within the filesystem
- identifier for each mount and it's parent
It also suffers from the following problems:
- not easily extendable
- ambiguity of mountpoints within a chrooted environment
- doesn't distinguish between filesystem dependent and independent options
- doesn't distinguish between per mount and per super block options
This patch introduces /proc/<pid>/mountinfo which attempts to address
all these deficiencies.

Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential

Current ip route cache implementation is not suited to large caches.
We can consume a lot of CPU when cache must be invalidated, since we
currently need to evict all cache entries, and this eviction is
sometimes asynchronous. min_delay & max_delay can somewhat control this
asynchronism behavior, but whole thing is a kludge, regularly triggering
infamous soft lockup messages. When entries are still in use, this also
consumes a lot of ram, filling dst_garbage.list.
A better scheme is to use a generation identifier on each entry,
so that cache invalidation can be performed by changing the table
identifier, without having to scan all entries.
No more delayed flushing, no more stalling when secret_interval expires.
Invalidated entries will then be freed at GC time (controled by
ip_rt_gc_timeout or stress), or when an invalidated entry is found
in a chain when an insert is done.
Thus we keep a normal equilibrium.
This patch :
- renames rt_hash_rnd to rt_genid (and makes it an atomic_t)
- Adds a new rt_genid field to 'struct rtable' (filling a hole on 64bit)
- Checks entry->rt_genid at appropriate places :
Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.
/proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.
This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
platforms, as appropriate:
rescheduling interrupts
TLB flush interrupts
function call interrupts
thermal event interrupts
threshold interrupts
spurious interrupts
A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency. Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.
Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip. IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.
A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC. Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from. For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.
Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS. Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.
AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.

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.

The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues:
- maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
- maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference
see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
- a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.
This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob
/proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
the procfs documentation.

Adds /proc/pid/clear_refs. When any non-zero number is written to this file,
pte_mkold() and ClearPageReferenced() is called for each pte and its
corresponding page, respectively, in that task's VMAs. This file is only
writable by the user who owns the task.
It is now possible to measure _approximately_ how much memory a task is using
by clearing the reference bits with
echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs
and checking the reference count for each VMA from the /proc/pid/smaps output
at a measured time interval. For example, to observe the approximate change
in memory footprint for a task, write a script that clears the references
(echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs), sleeps, and then greps for Pgs_Referenced and
extracts the size in kB. Add the sizes for each VMA together for the total
referenced footprint. Moments later, repeat the process and observe the
difference.
For example, using an efficient Mozilla:
accumulated time referenced memory
---------------- -----------------
0 s 408 kB
1 s 408 kB
2 s 556 kB
3 s 1028 kB
4 s 872 kB
5 s 1956 kB
6 s 416 kB
7 s 1560 kB
8 s 2336 kB
9 s 1044 kB
10 s 416 kB
This is a valuable tool to get an approximate measurement of the memory
footprint for a task.

Add /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches. When written to, this will cause the kernel to
discard as much pagecache and/or reclaimable slab objects as it can. THis
operation requires root permissions.
It won't drop dirty data, so the user should run `sync' first.
Caveats:
a) Holds inode_lock for exorbitant amounts of time.
b) Needs to be taught about NUMA nodes: propagate these all the way through
so the discarding can be controlled on a per-node basis.
This is a debugging feature: useful for getting consistent results between

show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to
the seq_file. show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and
if yes marks the current vma as written. While that is correct for show_map
it is not for show_smap. Here the vma should be marked as written only after
the additional information is also written.
The attached patch cures the problem. It moves the functionality of the
show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an
additional struct mem_size_stats* argument. Then show_map calls
show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls
it with a real pointer. Now the final
if (m->count < m->size) /* vma is copied successfully */
m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0;
is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer.

The patch updates the documentation for /proc. super-nr and super-max have
been dropped from the kernel since 2.4.9 due to minor numbering issues.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
