Glauber Costa a8964b9b84 memcg: use static branches when code not in use
We can use static branches to patch the code in or out when not used.

Because the _ACTIVE bit on kmem_accounted is only set after the increment
is done, we guarantee that the root memcg will always be selected for kmem
charges until all call sites are patched (see memcg_kmem_enabled).  This
guarantees that no mischarges are applied.

Static branch decrement happens when the last reference count from the
kmem accounting in memcg dies.  This will only happen when the charges
drop down to 0.

When that happens, we need to disable the static branch only on those
memcgs that enabled it.  To achieve this, we would be forced to complicate
the code by keeping track of which memcgs were the ones that actually
enabled limits, and which ones got it from its parents.

It is a lot simpler just to do static_key_slow_inc() on every child
that is accounted.

Glauber Costa 50bdd430c2 res_counter: return amount of charges after res_counter_uncharge()
It is useful to know how many charges are still left after a call to
res_counter_uncharge.  While it is possible to issue a res_counter_read
after uncharge, this can be racy.

If we need, for instance, to take some action when the counters drop down
to 0, only one of the callers should see it.  This is the same semantics
as the atomic variables in the kernel.

Since the current return value is void, we don't need to worry about
anything breaking due to this change: nobody relied on that, and only
users appearing from now on will be checking this value.

Glauber Costa 6a1a0d3b62 mm: allocate kernel pages to the right memcg
When a process tries to allocate a page with the __GFP_KMEMCG flag, the
page allocator will call the corresponding memcg functions to validate
the allocation.  Tasks in the root memcg can always proceed.

To avoid adding markers to the page - and a kmem flag that would
necessarily follow, as much as doing page_cgroup lookups for no reason,
whoever is marking its allocations with __GFP_KMEMCG flag is responsible
for telling the page allocator that this is such an allocation at
free_pages() time.  This is done by the invocation of
__free_accounted_pages() and free_accounted_pages().

Glauber Costa 7ae1e1d0f8 memcg: kmem controller infrastructure
Introduce infrastructure for tracking kernel memory pages to a given
memcg.  This will happen whenever the caller includes the flag
__GFP_KMEMCG flag, and the task belong to a memcg other than the root.

In memcontrol.h those functions are wrapped in inline acessors.  The idea
is to later on, patch those with static branches, so we don't incur any
overhead when no mem cgroups with limited kmem are being used.

Users of this functionality shall interact with the memcg core code
through the following functions:

memcg_kmem_newpage_charge: will return true if the group can handle the
                           allocation. At this point, struct page is not
                           yet allocated.

memcg_kmem_commit_charge: will either revert the charge, if struct page
                          allocation failed, or embed memcg information
                          into page_cgroup.

memcg_kmem_uncharge_page: called at free time, will revert the charge.

 "A big set of fixes and features.

  In terms of line count, most of the code comes from Stefan, who added
  the ability to replace a single drive in place.  This is different
  from how btrfs normally replaces drives, and is much much much faster.

  Josef is plowing through our synchronous write performance.  This pull
  request does not include the DIO_OWN_WAITING patch that was discussed
  on the list, but it has a number of other improvements to cut down our
  latencies and CPU time during fsync/O_DIRECT writes.

  Miao Xie has a big series of fixes and is spreading out ordered
  operations over more CPUs.  This improves performance and reduces
  contention.

  I've put in fixes for error handling around hash collisions.  These
  are going back to individual stable kernels as I test against them.

  Otherwise we have a lot of fixes and cleanups, thanks everyone!
  raid5/6 is being rebased against the device replacement code.  I'll

Linus Torvalds 2d4dce0070 NFS client updates for Linux 3.8
Features include:
 
 - Full audit of BUG_ON asserts in the NFS, SUNRPC and lockd client code
   Remove altogether where possible, and replace with WARN_ON_ONCE and
   appropriate error returns where not.
 - NFSv4.1 client adds session dynamic slot table management. There is
   matching server side code that has been submitted to Bruce for
   consideration. Together, this code allows the server to dynamically
   manage the amount of memory it allocates to the duplicate request
   cache for each client. It will constantly resize those caches to
   reserve more memory for clients that are hot while shrinking caches
   for those that are quiescent.
 
 In addition, there are assorted bugfixes for the generic NFS write code,
 fixes to deal with the drop_nlink() warnings, and yet another fix for
 NFSv4 getacl.

Cyrill Gorcunov 55985dd72a procfs: add ability to plug in auxiliary fdinfo providers
This patch brings ability to print out auxiliary data associated with
file in procfs interface /proc/pid/fdinfo/fd.

In particular further patches make eventfd, evenpoll, signalfd and
fsnotify to print additional information complete enough to restore
these objects after checkpoint.

To simplify the code we add show_fdinfo callback inside struct
file_operations (as Al and Pavel are proposing).

Akinobu Mita 6582c665d6 prandom: introduce prandom_bytes() and prandom_bytes_state()
Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.

The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it generates pseudo-random
numbers by prandom_u32().  It doesn't consume the entropy pool, and the
sequence is reproducible if the same rnd_state is used.  So it is suitable
for generating random bytes for testing.

Akinobu Mita 496f2f93b1 random32: rename random32 to prandom
This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows:

  void prandom_seed(u32 seed);	/* rename from srandom32() */
  u32 prandom_u32(void);		/* rename from random32() */
  void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
  				/* rename from prandom32_seed() */
  u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
  				/* rename from prandom32() */

The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from
assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure.  This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.

And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the
requested number of pseudo-random bytes.  If I continue to use both
prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion
is getting worse.

As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for
pseudo-random number library.

Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is
difficult to rename too many users at once.

Kees Cook d740269867 exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depth
To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive
scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon
as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back
up the chain, aborting immediately.

This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting
to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the
dash source:

        if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) {
                *argv-- = cmd;
                *argv = cmd = path_bshell;
                goto repeat;
        }

The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked
the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC,
things continue to behave as the shell expects.

Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be
involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through
search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible
for tracking the depth.

Oleg Nesterov 992fb6e170 ptrace: introduce PTRACE_O_EXITKILL
Ptrace jailers want to be sure that the tracee can never escape
from the control. However if the tracer dies unexpectedly the
tracee continues to run in potentially unsafe mode.

Add the new ptrace option PTRACE_O_EXITKILL. If the tracer exits
it sends SIGKILL to every tracee which has this bit set.

Note that the new option is not equal to the last-option << 1.  Because
currently all options have an event, and the new one starts the eventless
group.  It uses the random 20 bit, so we have the room for 12 more events,
but we can also add the new eventless options below this one.

Oleg Nesterov 8ebe34731a percpu_rw_semaphore: add lockdep annotations
Add lockdep annotations.  Not only this can help to find the potential
problems, we do not want the false warnings if, say, the task takes two
different percpu_rw_semaphore's for reading.  IOW, at least ->rw_sem
should not use a single class.

This patch exposes this internal lock to lockdep so that it represents the
whole percpu_rw_semaphore.  This way we do not need to add another "fake"
->lockdep_map and lock_class_key.  More importantly, this also makes the
output from lockdep much more understandable if it finds the problem.

In short, with this patch from lockdep pov percpu_down_read() and
percpu_up_read() acquire/release ->rw_sem for reading, this matches the
actual semantics.  This abuses __up_read() but I hope this is fine and in
fact I'd like to have down_read_no_lockdep() as well,
percpu_down_read_recursive_readers() will need it.

Oleg Nesterov 9390ef0c85 percpu_rw_semaphore: kill ->writer_mutex, add ->write_ctr
percpu_rw_semaphore->writer_mutex was only added to simplify the initial
rewrite, the only thing it protects is clear_fast_ctr() which otherwise
could be called by multiple writers.  ->rw_sem is enough to serialize the
writers.

Kill this mutex and add "atomic_t write_ctr" instead.  The writers
increment/decrement this counter, the readers check it is zero instead of
mutex_is_locked().

Move atomic_add(clear_fast_ctr(), slow_read_ctr) under down_write() to
avoid the race with other writers.  This is a bit sub-optimal, only the
first writer needs this and we do not need to exclude the readers at this
stage.  But this is simple, we do not want another internal lock until we
add more features.

And this speeds up the write-contended case.  Before this patch the racing
writers sleep in synchronize_sched_expedited() sequentially, with this
patch multiple synchronize_sched_expedited's can "overlap" with each
other.  Note: we can do more optimizations, this is only the first step.

Oleg Nesterov a1fd3e24d8 percpu_rw_semaphore: reimplement to not block the readers unnecessarily
Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to
acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are
blocked completely.  Even if the "write" section was not actually started
or if it was already finished.

With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and
down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the
slow path.

percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and
increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it
takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers.

Also.  With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of
synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with
barrier.

Kim, Milo 8cc9764c9c drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c: use generic PWM functions
The LP855x family devices support the PWM input for the backlight control.
 Period of the PWM is configurable in the platform side.  Platform
specific functions are unnecessary anymore because generic PWM functions
are used inside the driver.

(PWM input mode)
To set the brightness, new lp855x_pwm_ctrl() is used.
If a PWM device is not allocated, devm_pwm_get() is called.
The PWM consumer name is from the chip name such as 'lp8550' and 'lp8556'.
To get the brightness value, no additional handling is required.
Just the value of 'props.brightness' is returned.

If the PWM driver is not ready while initializing the LP855x driver, it's
OK.  The PWM device can be retrieved later, when the brightness value is
changed.

Documentation is updated with an example.

Linus Torvalds 6a2b60b17b Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
  containers in general and user namespaces in particular.  The user
  space interface is now complete.

  This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
  namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
  The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
  using cool new kernel features is broken.

  This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
  the pid, user, mount namespaces.

  This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
  cleanups/simplifications.  Of particular significance is the rework of
  the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
  tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation.  At
  least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
  to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
  ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
  currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
  checks are always applied.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
  so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
  namespaces.

  Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
  permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
  namespace root to usefully use the networking stack.  Similar changes
  for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
  tree.

  Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
  in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

  Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
  ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
  Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
  being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

  Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
  user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

Linus Torvalds 9360b53661 Revert "bdi: add a user-tunable cpu_list for the bdi flusher threads"
This reverts commit 8fa72d234d.

People disagree about how this should be done, so let's revert this for
now so that nobody starts using the new tuning interface.  Tejun is
thinking about a more generic interface for thread pool affinity.

Pull block layer core updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Here are the core block IO bits for 3.8.  The branch contains:

   - The final version of the surprise device removal fixups from Bart.

   - Don't hide EFI partitions under advanced partition types.  It's
     fairly wide spread these days.  This is especially dangerous for
     systems that have both msdos and efi partition tables, where you
     want to keep them in sync.

   - Cleanup of using -1 instead of the proper NUMA_NO_NODE

   - Export control of bdi flusher thread CPU mask and default to using
     the home node (if known) from Jeff.

   - Export unplug tracepoint for MD.

   - Core improvements from Shaohua.  Reinstate the recursive merge, as
     the original bug has been fixed.  Add plugging for discard and also
     fix a problem handling non pow-of-2 discard limits.

Linus Torvalds 2dfea3803d This is the MFD patch set for the 3.8 merge window.
We have several new drivers, most of the time coming with their sub devices
 drivers:
 
 - Austria Microsystem's AS3711
 - Nano River's viperboard
 - TI's TPS80031, AM335x TS/ADC,
 - Realtek's MMC/memstick card reader
 - Nokia's retu
 
 We also got some notable cleanups and improvements:
 
 - tps6586x got converted to IRQ domains.
 - tps65910 and tps65090 moved to the regmap IRQ API.
 - STMPE is now Device Tree aware.
 - A general twl6040 and twl-core cleanup, with moves to the regmap I/O and IRQ
   APIs and a conversion to the recently added PWM framework.
 - sta2x11 gained regmap support.
 
 Then the rest is mostly tiny cleanups and fixes, among which we have Mark's

Linus Torvalds 36cd5c19c3 There are two major features for this merge window. The first is
inline data, which allows small files or directories to be stored in
 the in-inode extended attribute area.  (This requires that the file
 system use inodes which are at least 256 bytes or larger; 128 byte
 inodes do not have any room for in-inode xattrs.)
 
 The second new feature is SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA support.  This is
 enabled by the extent status tree patches, and this infrastructure
 will be used to further optimize ext4 in the future.
 
 Beyond that, we have the usual collection of code cleanups and bug

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
 "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
  (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
  autonuma which is in aa.git.

  In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
  its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
  scheduling.  In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
  desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
  scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.

  The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are

    mel:    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
    mingo:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
    tglx:   https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
    srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397

  The results are a mixed bag.  In my own tests, balancenuma does
  reasonably well.  It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
  mainline.  On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
  incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
  but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts.  Thomas'
  results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
  numacore or autonuma.  Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
  large machine with imbalanced node sizes.

  My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
  dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
  We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
  migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
  There are also cases where it regresses.  Of interest is that for
  specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
  warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
  the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports.  Recently I
  reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
  NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
  this problem is.  Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
  handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case.  It's possible
  numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.

  These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
  with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
  not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

- Another race fix in the pageflip vs. unpin code from Chris.
- hsw vga resume support and a few more fdi link fixes (only used for vga
  on hsw) from Paulo.
- Regression fix for DMAR from Zhenyu Wang - I've scavenged memory from my
  DMAR for a while and it broke right away :(
- Regression fix from Takashi Iwai for ivb lvds - some w/a needs to be
  (partially) moved back into place. Note that these are regressions in
  -next.
- One more fix for ivb 3 pipe support - it now actually seems to work.

Dave Airlie 2f3f24061c Merge branch 'exynos-drm-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daeinki/drm-exynos into drm-next
Inki writes:
"- add dmabuf attach/detach feature
  . This patch would resolve performance deterioration issue
    when v4l2-based driver is using the buffer imported from gem.
- drm/exynos: use DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attribute
  . With gem allocation, kernel space mapping isn't allocated and
    also physical pages aren't mapped with the kernel space.
    The physical pages are mapped with kernel space though vmap
    function only for console framebuffer.
- add the below two patches I missed.
  drm: exynos: moved exynos drm device registration to drm driver
  drm: exynos: moved exynos drm hdmi device registration to drm driver
- add IPP subsystem framework and its-based device drivers.
  . This patch set includes fimc, rotator and gsc drivers to perform
    image scaling, rotation and color space conversion.
- add runtime pm support to hdmi driver.
- And fixups and cleanups."

Linus Torvalds 11520e5e7c Revert "x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock (again)"
This reverts commit bd52276fa1 ("x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with
platform wall clock (again)"), and the two supporting commits:

  da5a108d05b4: "x86/kernel: remove tboot 1:1 page table creation code"

  185034e72d59: "x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls")

as they all depend semantically on commit 53b87cf088 ("x86, mm:
Include the entire kernel memory map in trampoline_pgd") that got
reverted earlier due to the problems it caused.

This was pointed out by Yinghai Lu, and verified by me on my Macbook Air
that uses EFI.

Linus Torvalds 5bd665f28d Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending
Pull target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "It has been a very busy development cycle this time around in target
  land, with the highlights including:

   - Kill struct se_subsystem_dev, in favor of direct se_device usage
     (hch)
   - Simplify reservations code by combining SPC-3 + SCSI-2 support for
     virtual backends only (hch)
   - Simplify ALUA code for virtual only backends, and remove left over
     abstractions (hch)
   - Pass sense_reason_t as return value for I/O submission path (hch)
   - Refactor MODE_SENSE emulation to allow for easier addition of new
     mode pages.  (roland)
   - Add emulation of MODE_SELECT (roland)
   - Fix bug in handling of ExpStatSN wrap-around (steve)
   - Fix bug in TMR ABORT_TASK lookup in qla2xxx target (steve)
   - Add WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=0 support for IBLOCK backends (nab)
   - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_cmd caller + drop
     legacy ioctx->kref usage (nab)
   - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_tmr caller (nab)
   - Add link_magic for fabric allow_link destination target_items for
     symlinks within target_core_fabric_configfs.c code (nab)
   - Allocate pointers in instead of full structs for
     config_group->default_groups (sebastian)
   - Fix 32-bit highmem breakage for FILEIO (sebastian)

  All told, hch was able to shave off another ~1K LOC by killing the
  se_subsystem_dev abstraction, along with a number of PR + ALUA
  simplifications.  Also, a nice patch by Roland is the refactoring of
  MODE_SENSE handling, along with the addition of initial MODE_SELECT
  emulation support for virtual backends.

  Sebastian found a long-standing issue wrt to allocation of full
  config_group instead of pointers for config_group->default_group[]
  setup in a number of areas, which ends up saving memory with big
  configurations.  He also managed to fix another long-standing BUG wrt
  to broken 32-bit highmem support within the FILEIO backend driver.

  Thank you again to everyone who contributed this round!"
