10fb46d5f7 kprobes: handle empty/invalid input to debugfs "enabled" file
When writing invalid input to 'debug/kprobes/enabled' it'll silently be
ignored.  Even worse, when writing an empty string to this file, the
outcome is purely random as the switch statement will make its decision
based on the value of an uninitialized stack variable.

Fix this by handling invalid/empty input as error returning -EINVAL.

f170168b9a drivers: avoid parsing names as kthread_run() format strings
Calling kthread_run with a single name parameter causes it to be handled
as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string
content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents.

0b0585c3e1 Merge branch 'for-3.11-cpuset' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo:
 "cpuset has always been rather odd about its configurations - a cgroup
  right after creation didn't allow any task executions before
  configuration, changing configuration in the parent modifies the
  descendants irreversibly and so on.  These behaviors are inherently
  nasty and almost hostile against sharing the hierarchy with other
  controllers making it very difficult to use in unified hierarchy.

  Li is currently in the process of updating the behaviors for
  __DEVEL__sane_behavior which is the bulk of changes in this pull
  request.  It isn't complete yet and the behaviors will change further
  but all changes are gated behind sane_behavior.  In the process, the
  rather hairy work-item punting which was used to work around the
  limitations of cgroup descendant iterator was simplified."

b028161fbb Merge branch 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This pull request contains the following changes.

   - cgroup_subsys_state (css) reference counting has been converted to
     percpu-ref.  css is what each resource controller embeds into its
     own control structure and perform reference count against.  It may
     be used in hot paths of various subsystems and is similar to module
     refcnt in that aspect.  For example, block-cgroup's css refcnting
     was showing up a lot in Mikulaus's device-mapper scalability work
     and this should alleviate it.

   - cgroup subtree iterator has been updated so that RCU read lock can
     be released after grabbing reference.  This allows simplifying its
     users which requires blocking which used to build iteration list
     under RCU read lock and then traverse it outside.  This pull
     request contains simplification of cgroup core and device-cgroup.
     A separate pull request will update cpuset.

   - Fixes for various bugs including corner race conditions and RCU
     usage bugs.

   - A lot of cleanups and some prepartory work for the planned unified
     hierarchy support."

f317ff9eed Merge branch 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
  custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
  changes necessary at this point.

  The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
  per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
  param whose default can be configured via a config option.  This leads
  to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
  bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
  certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
  big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.

  This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
  perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
  them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
  less effective.

  Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
  configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
  automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
  workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
  configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

  Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a

  used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older

Merge tag 'fscache-20130702' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull FS-Cache updates from David Howells:
 "This contains a number of fixes for various FS-Cache issues plus some
  cleanups.  The commits are, in order:

   1) Provide a system wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t() sharing
      the bit-wait table (enhancement for #8).

   2) Don't put spin_lock() in a while-condition as spin_lock() may have
      a do {} while(0) wrapper (cleanup).

   3) Symbolically name i_mutex lock classes rather than using numbers
      in CacheFiles (cleanup).

   4) Don't sleep in page release if __GFP_FS is not set (deadlock vs
      ext4).

   5) Uninline fscache_object_init() (cleanup for #7).

   6) Wrap checks on object state (cleanup for #7).

   7) Simplify the object state machine by separating work states from
      wait states.

   8) Simplify cookie retention by objects (NULL pointer deref fix).

   9) Remove unused list_to_page() macro (cleanup).

  10) Make the remaining-pages counter in the retrieval op atomic
      (assertion failure fix).

  11) Don't use spin_is_locked() in assertions (assertion failure fix)"

CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUND should also be ignored when comparing options
while mounting an existing hierarchy.  As option mismatch triggers a
warning but doesn't fail the mount without sane_behavior, this only
triggers a spurious warning message.

Fix it by only comparing CGRP_ROOT_OPTION_MASK bits when comparing new

This __put_user() could be used by unprivileged processes to write into

fails, the error code is not checked before __put_user() is executed.

Luckily, ptrace_peek_siginfo() has been added within the 3.10-rc cycle,
so it has not hit a stable release yet.

0ce6cba357 cgroup: CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUND should be ignored when comparing mount options
1672d04070 ("cgroup: fix cgroupfs_root early destruction path")
introduced CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUND which is used to mark completion of
subsys binding on a new root; however, this broke remounts.
cgroup_remount() doesn't allow changing root options via remount and
CGRP_ROOT_SUBSYS_BOUND, which is set on all fully initialized roots,
makes the function reject all remounts.

Fix it by putting the options part in the lower 16 bits of root->flags
and masking the comparions.  While at it, make cgroup_remount() emit
an error message explaining why it's rejecting a remount request, so
that it's less of a mystery.

update_entity_load_avg, in order to avoid sleep time is updated twice
for se.avg.load_avg_contrib in both __syncchronize and
update_entity_load_avg.

However if the sleeping task is woken up from the same cpu, it miss
the last_runnable_update before update_entity_load_avg(se, 0, 1), then
the sleep time was used twice in both functions.  So we need to remove
the double sleep time accounting.

Further more, Morten Rasmussen notice some tasks were not launched at

new task runnable avg time same as sched_slice().

fa6bddeb14 sched: Move a few runnable tg variables into CONFIG_SMP
The following 2 variables are only used under CONFIG_SMP, so its
better to move their definiation into CONFIG_SMP too.

        atomic64_t load_avg;
        atomic_t runnable_avg;

a4ea1cc906 cgroup: always use RCU accessors for protected accesses
kernel/cgroup.c still has places where a RCU pointer is set and
accessed directly without going through RCU_INIT_POINTER() or
rcu_dereference_protected().  They're all properly protected accesses
so nothing is broken but it leads to spurious sparse RCU address space
warnings.

Substitute direct accesses with RCU_INIT_POINTER() and
rcu_dereference_protected().  Note that %true is specified as the
extra condition for all derference updates.  This isn't ideal as all
it does is suppressing warning without actually policing
synchronization rules; however, most are scheduled to be removed
pretty soon along with css_id itself, so no reason to be more
elaborate.

Combined with the previous changes, this removes all RCU related
sparse warnings from cgroup.

a8ad805cfd cgroup: fix RCU accesses around task->cgroups
There are several places in kernel/cgroup.c where task->cgroups is
accessed and modified without going through proper RCU accessors.
None is broken as they're all lock protected accesses; however, this
still triggers sparse RCU address space warnings.

* Consistently use task_css_set() for task->cgroups dereferencing.

* Use RCU_INIT_POINTER() to clear task->cgroups to &init_css_set on
  exit.

* Remove unnecessary rcu_dereference_raw() from cset->subsys[]
  dereference in cgroup_exit().

1672d04070 cgroup: fix cgroupfs_root early destruction path
cgroupfs_root used to have ->actual_subsys_mask in addition to
->subsys_mask.  a8a648c4ac ("cgroup: remove
cgroup->actual_subsys_mask") removed it noting that the subsys_mask is
essentially temporary and doesn't belong in cgroupfs_root; however,
the patch made it impossible to tell whether a cgroupfs_root actually
has the subsystems bound or just have the bits set leading to the
following BUG when trying to mount with subsystems which are already
mounted elsewhere.

 kernel BUG at kernel/cgroup.c:1038!

We still want rebind_subsystems() to take added/removed masks, so
let's fix it by marking whether a cgroupfs_root has finished binding
or not.  Also, document what's going on around ->subsys_mask
initialization so that similar mistakes aren't repeated.

2301002769 mutex: Add w/w mutex slowpath debugging
Injects EDEADLK conditions at pseudo-random interval, with
exponential backoff up to UINT_MAX (to ensure that every lock
operation still completes in a reasonable time).

This way we can test the wound slowpath even for ww mutex users
where contention is never expected, and the ww deadlock
avoidance algorithm is only needed for correctness against
malicious userspace. An example would be protecting kernel
modesetting properties, which thanks to single-threaded X isn't
really expected to contend, ever.

I've looked into using the CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION
infrastructure, but decided against it for two reasons:

- EDEADLK handling is mandatory for ww mutex users and should
  never affect the outcome of a syscall. This is in contrast to -ENOMEM
  injection. So fine configurability isn't required.

- The fault injection framework only allows to set a simple
  probability for failure. Now the probability that a ww mutex acquire
  stage with N locks will never complete (due to too many injected
  EDEADLK backoffs) is zero. But the expected number of ww_mutex_lock
  operations for the completely uncontended case would be O(exp(N)).
  The per-acuiqire ctx exponential backoff solution choosen here only
  results in O(log N) overhead due to injection and so O(log N * N)
  lock operations. This way we can fail with high probability (and so
  have good test coverage even for fancy backoff and lock acquisition
  paths) without running into patalogical cases.

Note that EDEADLK will only ever be injected when we managed to
acquire the lock. This prevents any behaviour changes for users
which rely on the EALREADY semantics.

040a0a3710 mutex: Add support for wound/wait style locks
Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock
acquisitions of a similar type can be done in an arbitrary
order. The deadlock handling used here is called wait/wound in
the RDBMS literature: The older tasks waits until it can acquire
the contended lock. The younger tasks needs to back off and drop
all the locks it is currently holding, i.e. the younger task is
wounded.
