Andi Kleen f039d1f188 rcu: Fix mismatched variable in rcutree_trace.c
rcutree.c defines rcu_cpu_kthread_cpu as int, not unsigned int,
so the extern has to follow that.

Paul E. McKenney b3fbab0571 rcu: Restore checks for blocking in RCU read-side critical sections
Long ago, using TREE_RCU with PREEMPT would result in "scheduling
while atomic" diagnostics if you blocked in an RCU read-side critical
section.  However, PREEMPT now implies TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which defeats
this diagnostic.  This commit therefore adds a replacement diagnostic
based on PROVE_RCU.

Because rcu_lockdep_assert() and lockdep_rcu_dereference() are now being
used for things that have nothing to do with rcu_dereference(), rename
lockdep_rcu_dereference() to lockdep_rcu_suspicious() and add a third
argument that is a string indicating what is suspicious.  This third
argument is passed in from a new third argument to rcu_lockdep_assert().
Update all calls to rcu_lockdep_assert() to add an informative third
argument.

Also, add a pair of rcu_lockdep_assert() calls from within
rcu_note_context_switch(), one complaining if a context switch occurs
in an RCU-bh read-side critical section and another complaining if a
context switch occurs in an RCU-sched read-side critical section.
These are present only if the PROVE_RCU kernel parameter is enabled.

Finally, fix some checkpatch whitespace complaints in lockdep.c.

Again, you must enable PROVE_RCU to see these new diagnostics.  But you
are enabling PROVE_RCU to check out new RCU uses in any case, aren't you?

Shaohua Li 1eb521210a rcu: Avoid unnecessary self-wakeup of per-CPU kthreads
There are a number of cases where the RCU can find additional work
for the per-CPU kthread within the context of that per-CPU kthread.
In such cases, the per-CPU kthread is already running, so attempting
to wake itself up does nothing except waste CPU cycles.  This commit
therefore checks to see if it is in the per-CPU kthread context,
omitting the wakeup in this case.

Eric Dumazet 1f28809480 rcu: Use kthread_create_on_node()
Commit a26ac2455f (move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) added
per-CPU kthreads.  However, kthread creation uses kthread_create(), which
can put the kthread's stack and task struct on the wrong NUMA node.
Therefore, use kthread_create_on_node() instead of kthread_create()
so that the stacks and task structs are placed on the correct NUMA node.

A similar change was carried out in commit 94dcf29a11 (kthread:
use kthread_create_on_node()).

Also change rcutorture's priority-boost-test kthread creation.

Vladimir Zapolskiy f786ecba41 connector: add comm change event report to proc connector
Add an event to monitor comm value changes of tasks.  Such an event
becomes vital, if someone desires to control threads of a process in
different manner.

A natural characteristic of threads is its comm value, and helpfully
application developers have an opportunity to change it in runtime.
Reporting about such events via proc connector allows to fine-grain
monitoring and control potentials, for instance a process control daemon
listening to proc connector and following comm value policies can place
specific threads to assigned cgroup partitions.

It might be possible to achieve a pale partial one-shot likeness without
this update, if an application changes comm value of a thread generator
task beforehand, then a new thread is cloned, and after that proc
connector listener gets the fork event and reads new thread's comm value
from procfs stat file, but this change visibly simplifies and extends the
matter.

descriptor when irq_data exists, which true when the irq descriptor

This went unnoticed so far as the simple domain code did not enter

Steven Rostedt 6249687f76 tracing: Add a counter clock for those that do not trust clocks
When debugging tight race conditions, it can be helpful to have a
synchronized tracing method. Although in most cases the global clock
provides this functionality, if timings is not the issue, it is more
comforting to know that the order of events really happened in a precise
order.

Instead of using a clock, add a "counter" that is simply an incrementing
atomic 64bit counter that orders the events as they are perceived to
happen.

The trace_clock_counter() is added from the attempt by Peter Zijlstra
trying to convert the trace_clock_global() to it. I took Peter's counter
code and made trace_clock_counter() instead, and added it to the choice
of clocks. Just echo counter > /debug/tracing/trace_clock to activate
it.

Shawn Bohrer 3be209a8e2 sched/rt: Migrate equal priority tasks to available CPUs
Commit 43fa5460fe ("sched: Try not to
migrate higher priority RT tasks") also introduced a change in behavior
which keeps RT tasks on the same CPU if there is an equal priority RT
task currently running even if there are empty CPUs available.

This can cause unnecessary wakeup latencies, and can prevent the
scheduler from balancing all RT tasks across available CPUs.

This change causes an RT task to search for a new CPU if an equal
priority RT task is already running on wakeup.  Lower priority tasks
will still have to wait on higher priority tasks, but the system should
still balance out because there is always the possibility that if there
are both a high and low priority RT tasks on a given CPU that the high
priority task could wakeup while the low priority task is running and
force it to search for a better runqueue.

Thomas Gleixner ec484608c5 locking, kprobes: Annotate the hash locks and kretprobe.lock as raw
The kprobe locks can be taken in atomic context and therefore
cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it.

In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep

Thomas Gleixner 9fb6033625 clocksource: Make watchdog reset lockless
KGDB needs to trylock watchdog_lock when trying to reset the
clocksource watchdog after the system has been stopped to avoid a
potential deadlock. When the trylock fails TSC usually becomes
unstable.

We can be more clever by using an atomic counter and checking it in
the clocksource_watchdog callback. We restart the watchdog whenever
the counter is > 0 and only decrement the counter when we ran through
a full update cycle.

Geert Uytterhoeven ed585a6516 genirq: Make irq_shutdown() symmetric vs. irq_startup again
If an irq_chip provides .irq_shutdown(), but neither of .irq_disable() or
.irq_mask(), free_irq() crashes when jumping to NULL.
Fix this by only trying .irq_disable() and .irq_mask() if there's no
.irq_shutdown() provided.

This revives the symmetry with irq_startup(), which tries .irq_startup(),
.irq_enable(), and irq_unmask(), and makes it consistent with the comment for
irq_chip.irq_shutdown() in <linux/irq.h>, which says:

 * @irq_shutdown:	shut down the interrupt (defaults to ->disable if NULL)

This is also how __free_irq() behaved before the big overhaul, cfr. e.g.
3b56f0585f ("genirq: Remove bogus conditional"),
where the core interrupt code always overrode .irq_shutdown() to
.irq_disable() if .irq_shutdown() was NULL.

Peter Zijlstra e8abccb719 posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP accounting oddities
David reported:

  Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from
  GLIBC.  Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or
  similar.

  Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread
  will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep
  which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock
  difference.  This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread
  is part of the top-level process's thread group.

  I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and
  64-bit binaries).

  For example:

  [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test
  process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404)
  thread:  before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739)
  self:    before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698)
  [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$

  The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'.

  I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly
  around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements
  are the outer-most ones.

  }

This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in
thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all
data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick
or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using
task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks.

This also means we can (and must) do away with
thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime()
is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from
thread_group_sched_runtime().

There is at least one architecture (s390) with a sane clockevent device
that can be programmed with the equivalent of a ktime. No need to create
a delta against the current time, the ktime can be used directly.

A new clock device function 'set_next_ktime' is introduced that is called
with the unmodified ktime for the timer if the clock event device has the 
CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_KTIME bit set.

Martin Schwidefsky d1748302f7 clockevents: Make minimum delay adjustments configurable
The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device
should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an
attribute of the clockevents device.

In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a
massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a
clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has
been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will
erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic
adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

Michal Hocko 6beea0cda8 nohz: Fix update_ts_time_stat idle accounting
update_ts_time_stat currently updates idle time even if we are in
iowait loop at the moment. The only real users of the idle counter
(via get_cpu_idle_time_us) are CPU governors and they expect to get
cumulative time for both idle and iowait times.
The value (idle_sleeptime) is also printed to userspace by print_cpu
but it prints both idle and iowait times so the idle part is misleading.

Let's clean this up and fix update_ts_time_stat to account both counters
properly and update consumers of idle to consider iowait time as well.
If we do this we might use get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us from other
contexts as well and we will get expected values.

Eric B Munson 7f310a5d4e perf_event: Fix broken calc_timer_values()
We detected a serious issue with PERF_SAMPLE_READ and
timing information when events were being multiplexing.

Samples would have time_running > time_enabled. That
was easy to reproduce with a libpfm4 example (ran 3
times to cause multiplexing on Core 2):

 $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
 $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
 $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
 IIP:0x0000000040062d ... PERIOD:2355332948 ENA=40144625315 RUN=60014875184
 syst_smpl: WARNING: time_running > time_enabled
	63277537998 uops_retired:freq=1 , scaled

The bug was not present in kernel up to (and including) 3.0. It turns
out the bug was introduced by the following commit:

commit c479429591

    events: Move lockless timer calculation into helper function

The parameters of the function got reversed yet the call sites
were not updated to reflect the change. That lead to time_running
and time_enabled being swapped. That had no effect when there was
no multiplexing because in that case time_running = time_enabled
but it would show up in any other scenario.

Mark Rutland 5f12a76193 perf: provide PMU when initing events
Currently, an event's 'pmu' field is set after pmu::event_init() is
called. This means that pmu::event_init() must figure out which struct
pmu the event was initialised from. This makes it difficult to
consolidate common event initialisation code for similar PMUs, and
very difficult to implement drivers for PMUs which can have multiple
instances (e.g. a USB controller PMU, a GPU PMU, etc).

This patch sets the 'pmu' field before initialising the event, allowing
event init code to identify the struct pmu instance easily. In the
event of failure to initialise an event, the event is destroyed via
kfree() without calling perf_event::destroy(), so this shouldn't
result in bad behaviour even if the destroy field was set before
failure to initialise was noted.

Vaibhav Nagarnaik c64e148a3b trace: Add ring buffer stats to measure rate of events
The stats file under per_cpu folder provides the number of entries,
overruns and other statistics about the CPU ring buffer. However, the
numbers do not provide any indication of how full the ring buffer is in
bytes compared to the overall size in bytes. Also, it is helpful to know
the rate at which the cpu buffer is filling up.

This patch adds an entry "bytes: " in printed stats for per_cpu ring
buffer which provides the actual bytes consumed in the ring buffer. This
field includes the number of bytes used by recorded events and the
padding bytes added when moving the tail pointer to next page.

It also adds the following time stamps:
"oldest event ts:" - the oldest timestamp in the ring buffer
"now ts:"  - the timestamp at the time of reading

The field "now ts" provides a consistent time snapshot to the userspace
when being read. This is read from the same trace clock used by tracing
event timestamps.

Together, these values provide the rate at which the buffer is filling
up, from the formula:
bytes / (now_ts - oldest_event_ts)

Stephane Eranian a8d757ef07 perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch code
The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading
to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active
cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU
would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a
simple ping/pong example:

 $ ./pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 10684.51 ctxsw/s

Now start a cgroup perf stat:
 $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 100

$ ./pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 6674.61 ctxsw/s

That's a 37% penalty.

Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup.

The results shown by perf stat are bogus:
 $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 100

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100':

 CPU1 <not counted> cycles   test
 CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles  #    0.000 GHz

The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock
(here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups.

The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any
cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are
in the same cgroup.

With this patch the same test now yields:
 $ ./pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 10775.30 ctxsw/s

Start perf stat with cgroup:

 $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10

Run pong outside the cgroup:
 $ /pong
 Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
 10687.80 ctxsw/s

The penalty is now less than 2%.

And the results for perf stat are correct:

$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':

 CPU1 <not counted> cycles test #    0.000 GHz
 CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles      #    0.000 GHz

Now perf stat reports the correct counts for
for the non cgroup event.

If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the
correct counts:

$ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':

 CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test #    0.000 GHz
 CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles      #    0.000 GHz

Thomas Gleixner 9c40cef2b7 sched: Move blk_schedule_flush_plug() out of __schedule()
There is no real reason to run blk_schedule_flush_plug() with
interrupts and preemption disabled.

Move it into schedule() and call it when the task is going voluntarily
to sleep. There might be false positives when the task is woken
between that call and actually scheduling, but that's not really
different from being woken immediately after switching away.

This fixes a deadlock in the scheduler where the
blk_schedule_flush_plug() callchain enables interrupts and thereby
allows a wakeup to happen of the task that's going to sleep.

Thomas Gleixner c259e01a1e sched: Separate the scheduler entry for preemption
Block-IO and workqueues call into notifier functions from the
scheduler core code with interrupts and preemption disabled. These
calls should be made before entering the scheduler core.

To simplify this, separate the scheduler core code into
__schedule(). __schedule() is directly called from the places which
set PREEMPT_ACTIVE and from schedule(). This allows us to add the work
checks into schedule(), so they are only called when a task voluntary
goes to sleep.

Nishanth Aravamudan 4c30c6f566 kernel/printk: do not turn off bootconsole in printk_late_init() if keep_bootcon
It seems that 7bf693951a ("console: allow to retain boot console via
boot option keep_bootcon") doesn't always achieve what it aims, as when
printk_late_init() runs it unconditionally turns off all boot consoles.
With this patch, I am able to see more messages on the boot console in
KVM guests than I can without, when keep_bootcon is specified.

I think it is appropriate for the relevant -stable trees.  However, it's
more of an annoyance than a serious bug (ideally you don't need to keep
the boot console around as console handover should be working -- I was
encountering a situation where the console handover wasn't working and
not having the boot console available meant I couldn't see why).

Andi Kleen be27425dcc Add a personality to report 2.6.x version numbers
I ran into a couple of programs which broke with the new Linux 3.0
version.  Some of those were binary only.  I tried to use LD_PRELOAD to
work around it, but it was quite difficult and in one case impossible
because of a mix of 32bit and 64bit executables.

For example, all kind of management software from HP doesnt work, unless
we pretend to run a 2.6 kernel.

  $ uname -a
  Linux svivoipvnx001 3.0.0-08107-g97cd98f #1062 SMP Fri Aug 12 18:11:45 CEST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

  $ hpacucli ctrl all show

  Error: No controllers detected.

  $ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/hpacucli
  hpacucli-8.75-12.0

Another notable case is that Python now reports "linux3" from
sys.platform(); which in turn can break things that were checking
sys.platform() == "linux2":

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664564

It seems pretty clear to me though it's a bug in the apps that are using
'==' instead of .startswith(), but this allows us to unbreak broken
programs.

This patch adds a UNAME26 personality that makes the kernel report a
2.6.40+x version number instead.  The x is the x in 3.x.

I know this is somewhat ugly, but I didn't find a better workaround, and
compatibility to existing programs is important.

Some programs also read /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease.  This can be worked
around in user space with mount --bind (and a mount namespace)

To use:

  wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ak/uname26/uname26.c
  gcc -o uname26 uname26.c
  ./uname26 program

Linus Torvalds 69dd3d8e29 Revert "irq: Always set IRQF_ONESHOT if no primary handler is specified"
This reverts commit f3637a5f2e.

It turns out that this breaks several drivers, one example being OMAP
boards which use the on-board OMAP UARTs and the omap-serial driver that
will not boot to userspace after the commit.

Paul Walmsley reports that enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ reveals 'IRQ
handler type mismatch' errors:

  IRQ handler type mismatch for IRQ 74
  current handler: serial idle
  ...

and the reason is that setting IRQF_ONESHOT will now result in those
interrupt handlers having different IRQF flags, and thus being
unsharable.  So the commit log in the reverted commit:

                            "Since it is required for those users and
    there is no difference for others it makes sense to add this flag
    unconditionally."

is simply not true: there may not be any difference from a "actions at
irq time", but there is a *big* difference wrt this flag testing irq
management (see __setup_irq() in kernel/irq/manage.c).

One solution may be to stop verifying IRQF_ONESHOT in __setup_irq(), but
right now the safe course of action is to revert the change.  Let's
revisit this in a later merge window.

David Howells 012146d072 CRED: Fix prepare_kernel_cred() to provide a new thread_group_cred struct
Fix prepare_kernel_cred() to provide a new, separate thread_group_cred struct
otherwise when using request_key() ____call_usermodehelper() calls
umh_keys_init() with the new creds pointing to init_tgcred, which
umh_keys_init() then blithely alters.

The problem can be demonstrated by:

	# keyctl request2 user a debug:a @s
	249681132
	# grep req /proc/keys
	079906a5 I--Q--     1 perm 1f3f0000     0     0 keyring   _req.249681132: 1/4
	38ef1626 IR----     1 expd 0b010000     0     0 .request_ key:ee1d4ec pid:4371 ci:1

The keyring _req.XXXX should have gone away, but something (init_tgcred) is
pinning it.

That key actually requested can then be removed and a new one created:

	# keyctl unlink 249681132
	1 links removed
	[root@andromeda ~]# grep req /proc/keys
	116cecac IR----     1 expd 0b010000     0     0 .request_ key:eeb4911 pid:4379 ci:1
	36d1cbf8 I--Q--     1 perm 1f3f0000     0     0 keyring   _req.250300689: 1/4

which causes the old _req keyring to go away and a new one to take its place.

This is a consequence of the changes in:

	commit 879669961b
	Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
	Date:   Fri Jun 17 11:25:59 2011 +0100

After this patch is applied, the _req keyring and the .request_key key are
cleaned up.

pm_genpd_poweroff_unused() depend on CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME too.

Paul Turner d8b4986d3d sched: Return unused runtime on group dequeue
When a local cfs_rq blocks we return the majority of its remaining quota to the
global bandwidth pool for use by other runqueues.

We do this only when the quota is current and there is more than
min_cfs_rq_quota [1ms by default] of runtime remaining on the rq.

In the case where there are throttled runqueues and we have sufficient
bandwidth to meter out a slice, a second timer is kicked off to handle this
delivery, unthrottling where appropriate.

Using a 'worst case' antagonist which executes on each cpu
for 1ms before moving onto the next on a fairly large machine:

no quota generations:

 197.47 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 199.46 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 205.46 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 198.46 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 208.39 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage

Since we are allowed to use "stale" quota our usage is effectively bounded by
the rate of input into the global pool and performance is relatively stable.

with quota generations [1s increments]:

 119.58 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 119.65 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 119.64 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 119.63 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 119.60 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage

The large deficit here is due to quota generations (/intentionally/) preventing
us from now using previously stranded slack quota.  The cost is that this quota
becomes unavailable.

with quota generations and quota return:

 200.09 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 200.09 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 198.09 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 200.09 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage
 200.06 ms       /cgroup/a/cpuacct.usage

By returning unused quota we're able to both stably consume our desired quota
and prevent unintentional overages due to the abuse of slack quota from
previous quota periods (especially on a large machine).

Paul Turner d3d9dc3302 sched: Throttle entities exceeding their allowed bandwidth
With the machinery in place to throttle and unthrottle entities, as well as
handle their participation (or lack there of) we can now enable throttling.

There are 2 points that we must check whether it's time to set throttled state:
 put_prev_entity() and enqueue_entity().

- put_prev_entity() is the typical throttle path, we reach it by exceeding our
  allocated run-time within update_curr()->account_cfs_rq_runtime() and going
  through a reschedule.

- enqueue_entity() covers the case of a wake-up into an already throttled
  group.  In this case we know the group cannot be on_rq and can throttle
  immediately.  Checks are added at time of put_prev_entity() and
  enqueue_entity()

Paul Turner 64660c864f sched: Prevent interactions with throttled entities
From the perspective of load-balance and shares distribution, throttled
entities should be invisible.

However, both of these operations work on 'active' lists and are not
inherently aware of what group hierarchies may be present.  In some cases this
may be side-stepped (e.g. we could sideload via tg_load_down in load balance)
while in others (e.g. update_shares()) it is more difficult to compute without
incurring some O(n^2) costs.

Instead, track hierarchicaal throttled state at time of transition.  This
allows us to easily identify whether an entity belongs to a throttled hierarchy
and avoid incorrect interactions with it.

Also, when an entity leaves a throttled hierarchy we need to advance its
time averaging for shares averaging so that the elapsed throttled time is not
considered as part of the cfs_rq's operation.

We also use this information to prevent buddy interactions in the wakeup and
yield_to() paths.

Paul Turner a9cf55b286 sched: Expire invalid runtime
Since quota is managed using a global state but consumed on a per-cpu basis
we need to ensure that our per-cpu state is appropriately synchronized.
Most importantly, runtime that is state (from a previous period) should not be
locally consumable.

We take advantage of existing sched_clock synchronization about the jiffy to
efficiently detect whether we have (globally) crossed a quota boundary above.

One catch is that the direction of spread on sched_clock is undefined,
specifically, we don't know whether our local clock is behind or ahead
of the one responsible for the current expiration time.

Fortunately we can differentiate these by considering whether the
global deadline has advanced.  If it has not, then we assume our clock to be
"fast" and advance our local expiration; otherwise, we know the deadline has
truly passed and we expire our local runtime.

Bandwidth is managed via cgroupfs, adding two new interfaces to the cpu subsystem:

 - cpu.cfs_quota_us : the cpu bandwidth (in usecs) that this tg will be allowed

Introduce hierarchical task accounting for the group scheduling case in CFS, as
well as promoting the responsibility for maintaining rq->nr_running to the

The primary motivation for this is that with scheduling classes supporting
bandwidth throttling it is possible for entities participating in throttled
sub-trees to not have root visible changes in rq->nr_running across activate
and de-activate operations.  This in turn leads to incorrect idle and
weight-per-task load balance decisions.

This also allows us to make a small fixlet to the fastpath in pick_next_task()
under group scheduling.

Steven Rostedt d473750b40 sched/cpupri: Fix memory barriers for vec updates to always be in order
[ This patch actually compiles. Thanks to Mike Galbraith for pointing
that out. I compiled and booted this patch with no issues. ]

Re-examining the cpupri patch, I see there's a possible race because the
update of the two priorities vec->counts are not protected by a memory
barrier.

When a RT runqueue is overloaded and wants to push an RT task to another
runqueue, it scans the RT priority vectors in a loop from lowest
priority to highest.

When we queue or dequeue an RT task that changes a runqueue's highest
priority task, we update the vectors to show that a runqueue is rated at
a different priority. To do this, we first set the new priority mask,
and increment the vec->count, and then set the old priority mask by
decrementing the vec->count.

If we are lowering the runqueue's RT priority rating, it will trigger a
RT pull, and we do not care if we miss pushing to this runqueue or not.

But if we raise the priority, but the priority is still lower than an RT
task that is looking to be pushed, we must make sure that this runqueue
is still seen by the push algorithm (the loop).

Because the loop reads from lowest to highest, and the new priority is
set before the old one is cleared, we will either see the new or old
priority set and the vector will be checked.

But! Since there's no memory barrier between the updates of the two, the
old count may be decremented first before the new count is incremented.
This means the loop may see the old count of zero and skip it, and also
the new count of zero before it was updated. A possible runqueue that
the RT task could move to could be missed.

A conditional memory barrier is placed between the vec->count updates
and is only called when both updates are done.

The smp_wmb() has also been changed to smp_mb__before_atomic_inc/dec(),
as they are not needed by archs that already synchronize
atomic_inc/dec().

The smp_rmb() has been moved to be called at every iteration of the loop
so that the race between seeing the two updates is visible by each
iteration of the loop, as an arch is free to optimize the reading of
memory of the counters in the loop.

Steven Rostedt c92211d9b7 sched/cpupri: Remove the vec->lock
sched/cpupri: Remove the vec->lock

The cpupri vec->lock has been showing up as a top contention
lately. This is because of the RT push/pull logic takes an
agressive approach for migrating RT tasks. The cpupri logic is
in place to improve the performance of the push/pull when dealing
with large number CPU machines.

The problem though is a vec->lock is required, where a vec is a
global per RT priority structure. That is, if there are lots of
RT tasks at the same priority, every time they are added or removed
from the RT queue, this global vec->lock is taken. Now that more
kernel threads are becoming RT (RCU boost and threaded interrupts)
this is becoming much more of an issue.

There are two variables that are being synced by the vec->lock.
The cpupri bitmask, and the vec->counter. The cpupri bitmask
is one bit per priority. If a RT priority vec has a process queued,
then the vec->count is > 0 and the cpupri bitmask is set for that
RT priority.

If the cpupri bitmask gets out of sync with the vec->counter, we could
end up pushing a low proirity RT task to a high priority queue.
That RT task that could have run immediately could be queued on a
run queue with a higher priority task indefinitely.

The solution is not to use the cpupri bitmask and just look at the
vec->count directly when doing a pull. The cpupri bitmask is just
a fast way to scan the RT priorities when a pull is made. Instead
of using the bitmask, and just examine all RT priorities, and
look at the vec->counts, we could eliminate the vec->lock. The
scan of RT tasks is to find a run queue that we can push an RT task
to, and we do not push to a high priority queue, thus the scan only
needs to go from 1 to RT task->prio, and not all 100 RT priorities.

The push algorithm, which does the scan of RT priorities (and
scan of the bitmask) only happens when we have an overloaded RT run
queue (more than one RT task queued). The grabbing of the vec->lock
happens every time any RT task is queued or dequeued on the run
queue for that priority. The slowing down of the scan by not using
a bitmask is negligible by the speed up of removing the vec->lock
contention, and replacing it with an atomic counter and memory barrier.

To prove this, I wrote a patch that times both the loop and the code
that grabs the vec->locks. I passed the patches to various people
(and companies) to test and show the results. I let everyone choose
their own load to test, giving different loads on the system,
for various different setups.

Here's some of the results: (snipping to a few CPUs to not make
this change log huge, but the results were consistent across
the entire system).

All times are in microseconds. The 'loop' is the amount of time spent
doing the loop across the priorities (before patch uses bitmask).
the 'vec' is the amount of time in the code that requires grabbing
the vec->lock. The second patch just does not have the vec lock, but
encompasses the same code.

Amazingly the loop code even went down on average. The vec code went
from .5 down to .18, that's more than half the time spent!

Note, more than one test was run, but they all had the same results.

The test run during the measurement did not have any (very few,
from other CPUs) RT tasks pushing. But this shows that it helped
out tremendously with the contention, as the contention happens
because the vec->lock is taken only on queuing at an RT priority,
and different CPUs that queue tasks at the same priority will
have contention.

I tested on my own 4 CPU machine with the following results:

This was running my migrate.c code that can be found at:
http://lwn.net/Articles/425763/

The migrate code does stress the RT tasks a bit. This shows that
the loop did increase a little after the patch, but not by much.
The vec code dropped dramatically. From 4.3us down to .42us.
That's a 10x improvement!

Steven Rostedt 5181f4a46a sched: Use pushable_tasks to determine next highest prio
Hillf Danton proposed a patch (see link) that cleaned up the
sched_rt code that calculates the priority of the next highest priority
task to be used in finding run queues to pull from.

His patch removed the calculating of the next prio to just use the current
prio when deteriming if we should examine a run queue to pull from. The problem
with his patch was that it caused more false checks. Because we check a run
queue for pushable tasks if the current priority of that run queue is higher
in priority than the task about to run on our run queue. But after grabbing
the locks and doing the real check, we find that there may not be a task
that has a higher prio task to pull. Thus the locks were taken with nothing to
do.

I added some trace_printks() to record when and how many times the run queue
locks were taken to check for pullable tasks, compared to how many times we
pulled a task.

With the current method, it was:

  3806 locks taken vs 2812 pulled tasks

With Hillf's patch:

  6728 locks taken vs 2804 pulled tasks

The number of times locks were taken to pull a task went up almost double with
no more success rate.

But his patch did get me thinking. When we look at the priority of the highest
task to consider taking the locks to do a pull, a failure to pull can be one
of the following: (in order of most likely)

 o RT task was pushed off already between the check and taking the lock
 o Waiting RT task can not be migrated
 o RT task's CPU affinity does not include the target run queue's CPU
 o RT task's priority changed between the check and taking the lock

And with Hillf's patch, the thing that caused most of the failures, is
the RT task to pull was not at the right priority to pull (not greater than
the current RT task priority on the target run queue).

Most of the above cases we can't help. But the current method does not check
if the next highest prio RT task can be migrated or not, and if it can not,
we still grab the locks to do the test (we don't find out about this fact until
after we have the locks). I thought about this case, and realized that the
pushable task plist that is maintained only holds RT tasks that can migrate.
If we move the calculating of the next highest prio task from the inc/dec_rt_task()
functions into the queuing of the pushable tasks, then we only measure the
priorities of those tasks that we push, and we get this basically for free.

Not only does this patch make the code a little more efficient, it cleans it
up and makes it a little simpler.

Thanks to Hillf Danton for inspiring me on this patch.

Steven Rostedt c37495fd0f sched: Balance RT tasks when forked as well
When a new task is woken, the code to balance the RT task is currently
skipped in the select_task_rq() call. But it will be pushed if the rq
is currently overloaded with RT tasks anyway. The issue is that we
already queued the task, and if it does get pushed, it will have to
be dequeued and requeued on the new run queue. The advantage with
pushing it first is that we avoid this requeuing as we are pushing it
off before the task is ever queued.

See commit 318e0893ce ("sched: pre-route RT tasks on wakeup")
for more details.

The return of select_task_rq() when it is not a wake up has also been
changed to return task_cpu() instead of smp_processor_id(). This is more
of a sanity because the current only other user of select_task_rq()
besides wake ups, is an exec, where task_cpu() should also be the same
as smp_processor_id(). But if it is used for other purposes, lets keep
the task on the same CPU. Why would we mant to migrate it to the current
CPU?

Mark Rutland 7e5b2a01d2 perf: provide PMU when initing events
Currently, an event's 'pmu' field is set after pmu::event_init() is
called. This means that pmu::event_init() must figure out which struct
pmu the event was initialised from. This makes it difficult to
consolidate common event initialisation code for similar PMUs, and
very difficult to implement drivers for PMUs which can have multiple
instances (e.g. a USB controller PMU, a GPU PMU, etc).

This patch sets the 'pmu' field before initialising the event, allowing
event init code to identify the struct pmu instance easily. In the
event of failure to initialise an event, the event is destroyed via
kfree() without calling perf_event::destroy(), so this shouldn't
result in bad behaviour even if the destroy field was set before
failure to initialise was noted.

Peter Zijlstra 144060fee0 perf: Add PM notifiers to fix CPU hotplug races
Francis reports that s2r gets him spurious NMIs, this is because the
suspend code leaves the boot cpu up and running.

Cure this by adding a suspend notifier. The problem is that hotplug
and suspend are completely un-serialized and the PM notifiers run
before the suspend cpu unplug of all but the boot cpu.

This leaves a window where the user can initialize another hotplug
operation (either remove or add a cpu) resulting in either one too
many or one too few hotplug ops. Thus we cannot use the hotplug code
for the suspend case.

There's another reason to not use the hotplug code, which is that the
hotplug code totally destroys the perf state, we can do better for
suspend and simply remove all counters from the PMU so that we can
re-instate them on resume.

Vasiliy Kulikov 72fa59970f move RLIMIT_NPROC check from set_user() to do_execve_common()
The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
similar functions.

Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
rlimit only.  But the check created new security threat: many poorly
written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
cannot fail if executed with root privileges.  So, the check is removed
in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
buggy programs.

The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
spawning user processes.  Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.

Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag.  With the change only
this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
behaviour is not changed.

Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
exceeded at the moment of execve().  If the process was sleeping for
days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
exceeded days ago would be unexpected.  If the limit is not exceeded
anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().

The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.

Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).

v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

Mathieu Desnoyers b75ef8b44b Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutex
Copy the information needed from struct module into a local module list
held within tracepoint.c from within the module coming/going notifier.

This vastly simplifies locking of tracepoint registration /
unregistration, because we don't have to take the module mutex to
register and unregister tracepoints anymore. Steven Rostedt ran into
dependency problems related to modules mutex vs kprobes mutex vs ftrace
mutex vs tracepoint mutex that seems to be hard to fix without removing
this dependency between tracepoint and module mutex. (note: it should be
investigated whether kprobes could benefit of being dissociated from the
modules mutex too.)

This also fixes module handling of tracepoint list iterators, because it
was expecting the list to be sorted by pointer address. Given we have
control on our own list now, it's OK to sort this list which has
tracepoints as its only purpose. The reason why this sorting is required
is to handle the fact that seq files (and any read() operation from
user-space) cannot hold the tracepoint mutex across multiple calls, so
list entries may vanish between calls. With sorting, the tracepoint
iterator becomes usable even if the list don't contain the exact item
pointed to by the iterator anymore.

Steven Rostedt 3a301d7c1c tracing: Clean up tb_fmt to not give faulty compile warning
gcc incorrectly states that the variable "fmt" is uninitialized when
CC_OPITMIZE_FOR_SIZE is set.

Instead of just blindly setting fmt to NULL, the code is cleaned up
a little to be a bit easier for humans to follow, as well as gcc
to know the variables are initialized.

This patch introduces alarmtimer_restart enum and changes the

to also take the time at expiration. No logic is yet modified.

Its possible to jam up the alarm timers by setting very small interval

A deeper fix is needed, closely mimicking the hrtimer code, but for now
just cap the interval to 100us to avoid userland hanging the system.

Jonathan Nieder f2c0d0266c cap_syslog: don't use WARN_ONCE for CAP_SYS_ADMIN deprecation warning
syslog-ng versions before 3.3.0beta1 (2011-05-12) assume that
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is sufficient to access syslog, so ever since CAP_SYSLOG
was introduced (2010-11-25) they have triggered a warning.

Commit ee24aebffb ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now")
improved matters a little by making syslog-ng work again, just keeping
the WARN_ONCE().  But still, this is a warning that writes a stack trace
we don't care about to syslog, sets a taint flag, and alarms sysadmins
when nothing worse has happened than use of an old userspace with a
recent kernel.

Convert the WARN_ONCE to a printk_once to avoid that while continuing to
give userspace developers a hint that this is an unwanted
backward-compatibility feature and won't be around forever.

Peter Zijlstra 80e0401e35 lockdep: Fix wrong assumption in match_held_lock
match_held_lock() was assuming it was being called on a lock class
that had already seen usage.

This condition was true for bug-free code using lockdep_assert_held(),
since you're in fact holding the lock when calling it. However the
assumption fails the moment you assume the assertion can fail, which
is the whole point of having the assertion in the first place.

Anyway, now that there's more lockdep_is_held() users, notably
__rcu_dereference_check(), its much easier to trigger this since we
test for a number of locks and we only need to hold any one of them to
be good.

Jason Baron b77f0f3c1f jump label: Reduce the cycle count by changing the link order
In the course of testing jump labels for use with the CFS
bandwidth controller, Paul Turner, discovered that using jump
labels reduced the branch count and the instruction count, but
did not reduce the cycle count or wall time.

I noticed that having the jump_label.o included in the kernel
but not used in any way still caused this increase in cycle
count and wall time. Thus, I moved jump_label.o in the
kernel/Makefile, thus changing the link order, and presumably
moving it out of hot icache areas. This brought down the cycle
count/time as expected.

In addition to Paul's testing,  I've tested the patch using a
single 'static_branch()' in the getppid() path, and basically
running tight loops of calls to getppid(). Here are my results
for the branch disabled case:

Linus Torvalds 288d5abec8 Boot up with usermodehelper disabled
The core device layer sends tons of uevent notifications for each device
it finds, and if the kernel has been built with a non-empty
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH that will make us try to execute the usermode
helper binary for all these events very early in the boot.

Not only won't the root filesystem even be mounted at that point, we
literally won't have necessarily even initialized all the process
handling data structures at that point, which causes no end of silly
problems even when the usermode helper doesn't actually succeed in
executing.

So just use our existing infrastructure to disable the usermodehelpers
to make the kernel start out with them disabled.  We enable them when
we've at least initialized stuff a bit.

Problems related to an uninitialized

	init_ipc_ns.ids[IPC_SHM_IDS].rw_mutex

1. Commit 26c4caea9d "don't allow duplicate entries in listener mode"
   changed add_del_listener(REGISTER) so that "next_cpu:" can reuse the
   listener allocated for the previous cpu, this doesn't look exactly
   right even if minor.

   Change the code to kfree() in the already-registered case, this case
   is unlikely anyway so the extra kmalloc_node() shouldn't hurt but
   looke more correct and clean.

2. use the plain list_for_each_entry() instead of _safe() to scan
   listeners->list.

Example 1 cold start test:

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior b6873807a7 irq: Track the owner of irq descriptor
Interrupt descriptors can be allocated from modules. The interrupts
are used by other modules, but we have no refcount on the module which
provides the interrupts and there is no way to establish one on the
device level as the interrupt using module is agnostic to the fact
that the interrupt is provided by a module rather than by some builtin
interrupt controller.

To prevent removal of the interrupt providing module, we can track the
owner of the interrupt descriptor, which also provides the relevant
irq chip functions in the irq descriptor.

request/setup_irq() can now acquire a refcount on the owner module to
prevent unloading. free_irq() drops the refcount.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior f3637a5f2e irq: Always set IRQF_ONESHOT if no primary handler is specified
If no primary handler is specified then a default one is assigned
which always returns IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. This handler requires the
IRQF_ONESHOT flag on LEVEL / EIO typed irqs because the source of
interrupt is not disabled. Since it is required for those users and
there is no difference for others it makes sense to add this flag
unconditionally.

Grant Likely 08a543ad33 irq: add irq_domain translation infrastructure
This patch adds irq_domain infrastructure for translating from
hardware irq numbers to linux irqs.  This is particularly important
for architectures adding device tree support because the current
implementation (excluding PowerPC and SPARC) cannot handle
translation for more than a single interrupt controller.  irq_domain
supports device tree translation for any number of interrupt
controllers.

This patch converts x86, Microblaze, ARM and MIPS to use irq_domain
for device tree irq translation.  x86 is untested beyond compiling it,
irq_domain is enabled for MIPS and Microblaze, but the old behaviour is
preserved until the core code is modified to actually register an
irq_domain yet.  On ARM it works and is required for much of the new
ARM device tree board support.

PowerPC has /not/ been converted to use this new infrastructure.  It
is still missing some features before it can replace the virq
infrastructure already in powerpc (see documentation on
irq_domain_map/unmap for details).  Followup patches will add the
missing pieces and migrate PowerPC to use irq_domain.

SPARC has its own method of managing interrupts from the device tree
and is unaffected by this change.

Hugh Dickins 4302fbc8ec panic: panic=-1 for immediate reboot
When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and
immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM
across reboot.

But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and
lose the info.

panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or
sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at
present we have to delay at least 1 second.

Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic
benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.."
message).

Vasiliy Kulikov b34a6b1da3 ipc: introduce shm_rmid_forced sysctl
Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl.  If set to 1, all shared
memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to
use IPC_RMID.

The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and
call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus
consuming memory not counted via rlimits.

With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for
one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding
the shared memory.

It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would
stop working.  So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses
"orphaned" memory.  Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability
reasons.

The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

Michal Hocko 778d3b0ff0 cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()
[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f8 but later
  reverted (commit 35926ff5fb) because it itroduced arch specific
  __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
  archs.  This is a followup without any arch specific code.  Other than
  that there are no functional changes.]

Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems).  Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.

This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.

Shawn Bohrer 9ea71503a8 futex: Fix regression with read only mappings
commit 7485d0d375 (futexes: Remove rw
parameter from get_futex_key()) in 2.6.33 fixed two problems:  First, It
prevented a loop when encountering a ZERO_PAGE. Second, it fixed RW
MAP_PRIVATE futex operations by forcing the COW to occur by
unconditionally performing a write access get_user_pages_fast() to get
the page.  The commit also introduced a user-mode regression in that it
broke futex operations on read-only memory maps.  For example, this
breaks workloads that have one or more reader processes doing a
FUTEX_WAIT on a futex within a read only shared file mapping, and a
writer processes that has a writable mapping issuing the FUTEX_WAKE.

This fixes the regression for valid futex operations on RO mappings by
trying a RO get_user_pages_fast() when the RW get_user_pages_fast()
fails. This change makes it necessary to also check for invalid use
cases, such as anonymous RO mappings (which can never change) and the
ZERO_PAGE which the commit referenced above was written to address.

This patch does restore the original behavior with RO MAP_PRIVATE
mappings, which have inherent user-mode usage problems and don't really
make sense.  With this patch performing a FUTEX_WAIT within a RO
MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be successfully woken provided another process
updates the region of the underlying mapped file.  However, the mmap()
man page states that for a MAP_PRIVATE mapping:

  It is unspecified whether changes made to the file after
  the mmap() call are visible in the mapped region.

So user-mode users attempting to use futex operations on RO MAP_PRIVATE
mappings are depending on unspecified behavior.  Additionally a
RO MAP_PRIVATE mapping could fail to wake up in the following case.

  Thread-A: call futex(FUTEX_WAIT, memory-region-A).
            get_futex_key() return inode based key.
            sleep on the key
  Thread-B: call mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, memory-region-A)
  Thread-B: write memory-region-A.
            COW happen. This process's memory-region-A become related
            to new COWed private (ie PageAnon=1) page.
  Thread-B: call futex(FUETX_WAKE, memory-region-A).
            get_futex_key() return mm based key.
            IOW, we fail to wake up Thread-A.

Once again doing something like this is just silly and users who do
something like this get what they deserve.

While RO MAP_PRIVATE mappings are nonsensical, checking for a private
mapping requires walking the vmas and was deemed too costly to avoid a
userspace hang.

This Patch is based on Peter Zijlstra's initial patch with modifications to
only allow RO mappings for futex operations that need VERIFY_READ access.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 2efaca927f mm/futex: fix futex writes on archs with SW tracking of dirty & young
I haven't reproduced it myself but the fail scenario is that on such
machines (notably ARM and some embedded powerpc), if you manage to hit
that futex path on a writable page whose dirty bit has gone from the PTE,
you'll livelock inside the kernel from what I can tell.

It will go in a loop of trying the atomic access, failing, trying gup to
"fix it up", getting succcess from gup, go back to the atomic access,
failing again because dirty wasn't fixed etc...

So I think you essentially hang in the kernel.

The scenario is probably rare'ish because affected architecture are
embedded and tend to not swap much (if at all) so we probably rarely hit
the case where dirty is missing or young is missing, but I think Shan has
a piece of SW that can reliably reproduce it using a shared writable
mapping & fork or something like that.

On archs who use SW tracking of dirty & young, a page without dirty is
effectively mapped read-only and a page without young unaccessible in the
PTE.

Additionally, some architectures might lazily flush the TLB when relaxing
write protection (by doing only a local flush), and expect a fault to
invalidate the stale entry if it's still present on another processor.

The futex code assumes that if the "in_atomic()" access -EFAULT's, it can
"fix it up" by causing get_user_pages() which would then be equivalent to
taking the fault.

However that isn't the case.  get_user_pages() will not call
handle_mm_fault() in the case where the PTE seems to have the right
permissions, regardless of the dirty and young state.  It will eventually
update those bits ...  in the struct page, but not in the PTE.

Additionally, it will not handle the lazy TLB flushing that can be
required by some architectures in the fault case.

Basically, gup is the wrong interface for the job.  The patch provides a
more appropriate one which boils down to just calling handle_mm_fault()
since what we are trying to do is simulate a real page fault.

The futex code currently attempts to write to user memory within a
pagefault disabled section, and if that fails, tries to fix it up using
get_user_pages().

This doesn't work on archs where the dirty and young bits are maintained
by software, since they will gate access permission in the TLB, and will
not be updated by gup().

In addition, there's an expectation on some archs that a spurious write
fault triggers a local TLB flush, and that is missing from the picture as
well.

I decided that adding those "features" to gup() would be too much for this
already too complex function, and instead added a new simpler
fixup_user_fault() which is essentially a wrapper around handle_mm_fault()
which the futex code can call.

Kay Sievers 88bfa32479 module: add /sys/module/<name>/uevent files
Userspace wants to manage module parameters with udev rules.
This currently only works for loaded modules, but not for
built-in ones.

To allow access to the built-in modules we need to
re-trigger all module load events that happened before any
userspace was running. We already do the same thing for all
devices, subsystems(buses) and drivers.

This adds the currently missing /sys/module/<name>/uevent files
to all module entries.

Jonas Bonn 74e08fcf7b modules: add default loader hook implementations
The module loader code allows architectures to hook into the code by
providing a small number of entry points that each arch must implement.
This patch provides __weakly linked generic implementations of these
entry points for architectures that don't need to do anything special.

Satoru Moriya 81c7413650 param: fix return value handling in param_set_*
In STANDARD_PARAM_DEF, param_set_* handles the case in which strtolfn
returns -EINVAL but it may return -ERANGE. If it returns -ERANGE,
param_set_* may set uninitialized value to the paramerter. We should handle
both cases.

The one of the cases in which strtolfn() returns -ERANGE is following:

 *Type of module parameter is long
 *Set the parameter more than LONG_MAX
