PTRACE_SEIZE code is tested and ready for production use, remove the
code which requires special bit in data argument to make PTRACE_SEIZE
work.
Strace team prepares for a new release of strace, and we would like to
ship the code which uses PTRACE_SEIZE, preferably after this change goes
into released kernel.

This can be used to close a few corner cases in strace where we get
unwanted racy behavior after attach, but before we have a chance to set
options (the notorious post-execve SIGTRAP comes to mind), and removes
the need to track "did we set opts for this task" state in strace
internals.
While we are at it:
Make it possible to extend SEIZE in the future with more functionality
by passing non-zero 'addr' parameter. To that end, error out if 'addr'
is non-zero. PTRACE_ATTACH did not (and still does not) have such
check, and users (strace) do pass garbage there... let's avoid
repeating this mistake with SEIZE.
Set all task->ptrace bits in one operation - before this change, we were
adding PT_SEIZED and PT_PTRACE_CAP with task->ptrace |= BIT ops. This
was probably ok (not a bug), but let's be on a safer side.
Changes since v2: use (unsigned long) casts instead of (long) ones, move
PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL-related code to separate lines of code.

Exchange PT_TRACESYSGOOD and PT_PTRACE_CAP bit positions, which makes
PT_option bits contiguous and therefore makes code in
ptrace_setoptions() much simpler.
Every PTRACE_O_TRACEevent is defined to (1 << PTRACE_EVENT_event)
instead of using explicit numeric constants, to ensure we don't mess up
relationship between bit positions and event ids.
PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT was not particularly useful, PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT with
value of PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT-1 is easier to use.
PT_TRACE_MASK constant is nuked, the only its use is replaced by
(PTRACE_O_MASK << PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT).

On ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, <opts>), we used to set those
option bits which are known, and then fail with -EINVAL if there are
some unknown bits in <opts>.
This is inconsistent with typical error handling, which does not change
any state if input is invalid.
This patch changes PTRACE_SETOPTIONS behavior so that in this case, we
return -EINVAL and don't change any bits in task->ptrace.
It's very unlikely that there is userspace code in the wild which will
be affected by this change: it should have the form
ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT)
where PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT is a constant unknown to the kernel. But kernel
headers, naturally, don't contain any PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPTs, thus the only
way userspace can use one if it defines one itself. I can't see why
anyone would do such a thing deliberately.

If the system is loaded while hotplugging a CPU we might end up with a
bogus hardlockup detection. This has been seen during LTP pounder test
executed in parallel with hotplug test.
The main problem is that enable_watchdog (called when CPU is brought up)
registers perf event which periodically checks per-cpu counter
(hrtimer_interrupts), updated from a hrtimer callback, but the hrtimer
is fired from the kernel thread.
This means that while we already do check for the hard lockup the kernel
thread might be sitting on the runqueue with zillions of tasks so there
is nobody to update the value we rely on and so we KABOOM.
Let's fix this by boosting the watchdog thread priority before we wake
it up rather than when it's already running. This still doesn't handle
a case where we have the same amount of high prio FIFO tasks but that
doesn't seem to be common. The current implementation doesn't handle
that case anyway so this is not worse at least.
Unfortunately, we cannot start perf counter from the watchdog thread
because we could miss a real lock up and also we cannot start the
hrtimer watchdog_enable because we there is no way (at least I don't
know any) to start a hrtimer from a different CPU.

I just received another user's pleas for help when their init
mysteriously died. I again explained that they need to check whether it
died because of bad instruction, a segv, or something else. Which was
an annoying detour into writing a trivial C program to spawn his init
and print its exit code:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2012-January/077172.html
I hear you saying "just test it under /bin/sh". Well, the crashing init
_was_ /bin/sh.
Which prompted me to make kernel do this first step automatically. We can
print exit code, which makes it possible to see that death was from e.g.
SIGILL without writing test programs.

Userspace service managers/supervisors need to track their started
services. Many services daemonize by double-forking and get implicitly
re-parented to PID 1. The service manager will no longer be able to
receive the SIGCHLD signals for them, and is no longer in charge of
reaping the children with wait(). All information about the children is
lost at the moment PID 1 cleans up the re-parented processes.
With this prctl, a service manager process can mark itself as a sort of
'sub-init', able to stay as the parent for all orphaned processes
created by the started services. All SIGCHLD signals will be delivered
to the service manager.
Receiving SIGCHLD and doing wait() is in cases of a service-manager much
preferred over any possible asynchronous notification about specific
PIDs, because the service manager has full access to the child process
data in /proc and the PID can not be re-used until the wait(), the
service-manager itself is in charge of, has happened.
As a side effect, the relevant parent PID information does not get lost
by a double-fork, which results in a more elaborate process tree and
'ps' output:
before:
# ps afx
253 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
294 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd
328 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/modem-manager

916 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon
917 ? S 0:00 \_ udisks-daemon: not polling any devices
after:
# ps afx
294 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
426 ? Sl 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd
449 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/modem-manager

960 ? S 0:00 | \_ udisks-daemon: not polling any devices
977 ? Sl 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/packagekitd
This prctl is orthogonal to PID namespaces. PID namespaces are isolated
from each other, while a service management process usually requires the
services to live in the same namespace, to be able to talk to each
other.
Users of this will be the systemd per-user instance, which provides
init-like functionality for the user's login session and D-Bus, which
activates bus services on-demand. Both need init-like capabilities to
be able to properly keep track of the services they start.
Many thanks to Oleg for several rounds of review and insights.

On x86, if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, one cannot set breakpoints
via KDB. Apparently this is a well-known problem, as at least one distribution
now ships with both KDB enabled and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y for security reasons.
This patch adds an printk message to the breakpoint failure case,
in order to provide suggestions about how to use the debugger.

(from kdb_cmds). Any call to kdb_printf() before the initialization
of the kgdboc serial console driver (which happens much later during
bootup than kdb_init), results in kernel panic due to the use of
dbg_io_ops before it is initialized.

Sometimes it is desirable to stop the kernel debugger before allowing
a system to reboot either with kdb or kgdb. This patch adds the
ability to turn the reboot notifier on and off or enter the debugger
and stop kernel execution before rebooting.
It is possible to change the setting after booting the kernel with the
following:
echo 1 > /sys/module/debug_core/parameters/kgdbreboot
It is also possible to change this setting using kdb / kgdb to
manipulate the variable directly.
Using KDB:
mm kgdbreboot 1
Using gdb:
set kgdbreboot=1

This fixes the following problems:
1) Typematic-repeat of 'enter' gives warning message
and leaks make/break if KDB exits. Repeats
look something like 0x1c 0x1c .... 0x9c
2) Use of 'keypad enter' gives warning message and
leaks the ENTER break/make code out if KDB exits.
KP ENTER repeats look someting like 0xe0 0x1c
0xe0 0x1c ... 0xe0 0x9c.
3) Lag on the order of seconds between "break" and "make" when
expecting the enter "break" code. Seen under virtualized
environments such as VMware ESX.
The existing special enter handler tries to glob the enter break code,
but this fails if the other (KP) enter was used, or if there was a key
repeat. It also fails if you mashed some keys along with enter, and
you ended up with a non-enter make or non-enter break code coming
after the enter make code. So first, we modify the handler to handle
these cases. But performing these actions on every enter is annoying
since now you can't hold ENTER down to scroll <more>d messages in
KDB. Since this special behaviour is only necessary to handle the
exiting KDB ('g' + ENTER) without leaking scancodes to the OS. This
cleanup needs to get executed anytime the kdb_main loop exits.
Tested on QEMU. Set a bp on atkbd.c to verify no scan code was leaked.

Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.
[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.
For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.
This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.
While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.
In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%. The
actual results were

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected). The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.
For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.
To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.
Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

Warn about non-zero rss counters at final mmdrop.
This check will prevent reoccurences of bugs such as that fixed in "mm:
fix rss count leakage during migration".
I didn't hide this check under CONFIG_VM_DEBUG because it rather small and
rss counters cover whole page-table management, so this is a good
invariant.

This branch takes the PowerPC irq_host infrastructure (reverse mapping
from Linux IRQ numbers to hardware irq numbering), generalizes it,
renames it to irq_domain, and makes it available to all architectures.
Originally the plan has been to create an all-new irq_domain
implementation which addresses some of the powerpc shortcomings such
as not handling 1:1 mappings well, but doing that proved to be far
more difficult and invasive than generalizing the working code and
refactoring it in-place. So, this branch rips out the 'new'
irq_domain and replaces it with the modified powerpc version (in a
fully bisectable way of course). It converts all users over to the
new API and makes irq_domain selectable on any architecture.
No architecture is forced to enable irq_domain, but the infrastructure
is required for doing OpenFirmware style irq translations. It will
even work on SPARC even though SPARC has it's own mechanism for
translating irqs at boot time. MIPS, microblaze, embedded x86 and c6x
are converted too.
The resulting irq_domain code is probably still too verbose and can be
optimized more, but that can be done incrementally and is a task for
follow-on patches.

exit_notify() changes ->exit_signal if the parent already did exec.
This doesn't really work, we are not going to send the signal now
if there is another live thread or the exiting task is traced. The
parent can exec before the last dies or the tracer detaches.
Move this check into do_notify_parent() which actually sends the
signal.
The user-visible change is that we do not change ->exit_signal,
and thus the exiting task is still "clone children" for
do_wait()->eligible_child(__WCLONE). Hopefully this is fine, the
current logic is racy anyway.

exit_notify() checks "tsk->self_exec_id != tsk->parent_exec_id"
to handle the "we have changed execution domain" case.
We can change do_thread() to always set ->exit_signal = SIGCHLD
and remove this check to simplify the code.
We could change setup_new_exec() instead, this looks more logical
because it increments ->self_exec_id. But note that de_thread()
already resets ->exit_signal if it changes the leader, let's keep
both changes close to each other.
Note that we change ->exit_signal lockless, this changes the rules.
Thereafter ->exit_signal is not stable under tasklist but this is
fine, the only possible change is OLDSIG -> SIGCHLD. This can race
with eligible_child() but the race is harmless. We can race with
reparent_leader() which changes our ->exit_signal in parallel, but
it does the same change to SIGCHLD.
The noticeable user-visible change is that the execing task is not
"visible" to do_wait()->eligible_child(__WCLONE) right after exec.
To me this looks more logical, and this is consistent with mt case.

The child must not control its ->exit_signal, it is the parent who
decides which signal the child should use for notification.
This means that CLONE_PARENT should not use "clone_flags & CSIGNAL",
the forking task is the sibling of the new process and their parent
doesn't control exit_signal in this case.
This patch uses ->exit_signal of the forking process, but perhaps
we should simply use SIGCHLD.
We read group_leader->exit_signal lockless, this can race with the
ORIGINAL_SIGNAL -> SIGCHLD transition, but this is fine.
Potentially this change allows to kill self_exec_id/parent_exec_id.

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:
- New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs
with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)
This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
regular, function histogram centric profiles.
The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
looks like this in perf report:
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy
$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
52.34% [.] main [.] f1
24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3
23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2
0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul
0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
0.01% [k] main [k] __printf
This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken
branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls
and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
calls, traps, interrupts, etc.
This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
support in perf report.
- Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
improvements.
- Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:
perf top -p 21483,21485
perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
perf record -p 21483,21485
- Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.
- Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
generic facility:
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;
...
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
little impact to the likely code path as possible. the
static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.
This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
usage and fast/slow cost patterns.
- SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.
- Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
better, etc.
- Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
and a corner case bugfix.
- Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).
- Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.
- 'perf bench' improvements
- ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as
there were also lots of other improvements

series are:
- making RCU more aggressive about entering dyntick-idle mode in order
to improve energy efficiency
- converting a few more call_rcu()s to kfree_rcu()s
- applying a number of rcutree fixes and cleanups to rcutiny
- removing CONFIG_SMP #ifdefs from treercu
- allowing RCU CPU stall times to be set via sysfs
- adding CPU-stall capability to rcutorture
- adding more RCU-abuse diagnostics
- updating documentation
- fixing yet more issues located by the still-ongoing top-to-bottom
inspection of RCU, this time with a special focus on the CPU-hotplug
code path.

futex: Simplify return logic
futex: Cover all PI opcodes with cmpxchg enabled check
Alexander pointed out that the warnons in the regular exit path are
bogus and the thread_mask one actually could be triggered when
__setup_irq() hands out that thread_mask again after __free_irq()
dropped irq_desc->lock.
Thinking more about it, neither IRQTF_RUNTHREAD nor the bit in
thread_mask can be set as this is the regular exit path. We come here
due to:
__free_irq()
remove action from desc
synchronize_irq()
kthread_stop()
So synchronize_irq() makes sure that the thread finished running and
cleaned up both the thread_active count and thread_mask. After that
point nothing can set IRQTF_RUNTHREAD on this action. So the warnons
and the cleanups are pointless.

CAP_SYS_ADMIN is already overloaded left and right, so to have more
fine-grained access control use CAP_SYS_RESOURCE here.
The CAP_SYS_RESOUCE is chosen because this prctl option allows a current
process to adjust some fields of memory map descriptor which rather
represents what the process owns: pointers to code, data, stack
segments, command line, auxiliary vector data and etc.

'long secs' is passed as divisor to div_s64, which accepts a 32bit
divisor. On 64bit machines that value is trimmed back from 8 bytes
back to 4, causing a divide by zero when the number is bigger than
(1 << 32) - 1 and all 32 lower bits are 0.
Use div64_long() instead.

Commit 3ccf3e8306 ("printk/sched: Introduce special
printk_sched() for those awkward moments") overlooked
an #ifdef, so move code around to respect these directives.
