Merge reason: the conflicts are non-trivial: PowerPC placement
              of sys_perf_counter_open has to be mixed with the
	      new preadv/pwrite syscalls.

de5bd88d5a kprobes: support per-kprobe disabling
Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes
temporarily.

disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified
kprobe.  So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while.
enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe.

aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes.  On the
other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it
because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers
and usually those help error handling.

b918e5e60d kprobes: cleanup aggr_kprobe related code
Currently, kprobes can disable all probes at once, but can't disable it
individually (not unregister, just disable an kprobe, because
unregistering needs to wait for scheduler synchronization).  These patches
introduce APIs for on-the-fly per-probe disabling and re-enabling by
dis-arming/re-arming its breakpoint instruction.

This patch:

Change old_p to ap in add_new_kprobe() for readability, copy flags member
in add_aggr_kprobe(), and simplify the code flow of
register_aggr_kprobe().

fafd688e4c mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threads
Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and
maximum number of pdflush threads.  This allows finer control of pdflush
on both large and small machines.

The rationale is simply one size does not fit all.  Admins on large and/or
small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best
suit their needs.  Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8.  While
probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large
numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit
from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices.

Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is
still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still
desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the
kernel.

The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and
'/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions.

The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is
the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max.  This minimum is required
since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself.

The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of
nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000.

Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

b0dfa978c7 tracing/ftrace: alloc the started cpumask for the trace file

This is because we alloc the iter->started cpumask on tracing_pipe_open but
not on tracing_open.

It hadn't been noticed until now because we need to have ring buffer overruns
to activate the starting of cpu buffer detection.

Also, we need a check to not print the messagge for the first trace on the file.

301fd748e2 tracing: remove CALLER_ADDR2 from wakeup tracer
Maneesh Soni was getting a crash when running the wakeup tracer.
We debugged it down to the recording of the function with the
CALLER_ADDR2 macro.  This is used to get the location of the caller
to schedule.

But the problem comes when schedule is called by assmebly. In the case
that Maneesh had, retint_careful would call schedule. But retint_careful
does not set up a proper frame pointer. CALLER_ADDR2 is defined as
__builtin_return_address(2). This produces the following assembly in
the wakeup tracer code.

   mov    0x0(%rbp),%rcx  <--- get the frame pointer of the caller
   mov    %r14d,%r8d
   mov    0xf2de8e(%rip),%rdi

   mov    0x8(%rcx),%rsi  <-- this is __builtin_return_address(1)
   mov    0x28(%rdi,%rax,8),%rbx

   mov    (%rcx),%rax  <-- get the frame pointer of the caller's caller
   mov    %r12,%rcx
   mov    0x8(%rax),%rdx <-- this is __builtin_return_address(2)

At the reading of 0x8(%rax) Maneesh's machine would take a fault.
The reason is that retint_careful did not set up the return address
and the content of %rax here was zero.

To verify this, I sent Maneesh a patch to create a frame pointer
in retint_careful. He ran the test again but this time he would take
the same type of fault from sysret_careful. The retint_careful was no
longer an issue, but there are other callers that still have issues.

Instead of adding frame pointers for all callers to schedule (in possibly
all archs), it is much safer to simply not use CALLER_ADDR2. This
loses out on knowing what called schedule, but the function tracer
will help there if needed.

4c9e25428f perf_counter: change event definition
Currently the definition of an event is slightly ambiguous. We have
wakeup events, for poll() and SIGIO, which are either generated
when a record crosses a page boundary (hw_events.wakeup_events == 0),
or every wakeup_events new records.

Now a record can be either a counter overflow record, or a number of
different things, like the mmap PROT_EXEC region notifications.

Then there is the PERF_COUNTER_IOC_REFRESH event limit, which only
considers counter overflows.

This was an impressively stupid patch.  Firstly, we reset the SHF_ALLOC

better, find_sec() ignores sections with SHF_ALLOC not set, so
it breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y with CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD=n, which
refuses to load the module since it can't find the __versions section.

So remove the SMP barriers and replace them with regular compiler

Further, update the comment to include a race free method of reading
said hardware counter. The primary change is putting the pmc_read
inside the seq-loop, otherwise we can still race and read rubbish.

d5d2bc0dd0 perf_counter: make it possible for hw_perf_counter_init to return error codes
Impact: better error reporting

At present, if hw_perf_counter_init encounters an error, all it can do
is return NULL, which causes sys_perf_counter_open to return an EINVAL
error to userspace.  This isn't very informative for userspace; it means
that userspace can't tell the difference between "sorry, oprofile is
already using the PMU" and "we don't support this CPU" and "this CPU
doesn't support the requested generic hardware event".

This commit uses the PTR_ERR/ERR_PTR/IS_ERR set of macros to let
hw_perf_counter_init return an error code on error rather than just NULL
if it wishes.  If it does so, that error code will be returned from
sys_perf_counter_open to userspace.  If it returns NULL, an EINVAL
error will be returned to userspace, as before.

This also adapts the powerpc hw_perf_counter_init to make use of this
to return ENXIO, EINVAL, EBUSY, or EOPNOTSUPP as appropriate.  It would
be good to add extra error numbers in future to allow userspace to
distinguish the various errors that are currently reported as EINVAL,
i.e. irq_period < 0, too many events in a group, conflict between
exclude_* settings in a group, and PMU resource conflict in a group.

[ v2: fix a bug pointed out by Corey Ashford where error returns from
      hw_perf_counter_init were not handled correctly in the case of
      raw hardware events.]

38ff667b32 perf_counter: fix update_userpage()
It just occured to me it is possible to have multiple contending
updates of the userpage (mmap information vs overflow vs counter).
This would break the seqlock logic.

It appear the arch code uses this from NMI context, so we cannot
possibly serialize its use, therefore separate the data_head update
from it and let it return to its original use.

The arch code needs to make sure there are no contending callers by
disabling the counter before using it -- powerpc appears to do this
nicely.

925d519ab8 perf_counter: unify and fix delayed counter wakeup
While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work
for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on
them.

This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this
issue.

Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based
single link list implementation to track counters that have pending
wakeups.

[ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we
  cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the
  perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the
  network wakeups. ]

Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its
quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the
wakeup.

The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be
sufficient.

53cfbf5937 perf_counter: record time running and time enabled for each counter
Impact: new functionality

Currently, if there are more counters enabled than can fit on the CPU,
the kernel will multiplex the counters on to the hardware using
round-robin scheduling.  That isn't too bad for sampling counters, but
for counting counters it means that the value read from a counter
represents some unknown fraction of the true count of events that
occurred while the counter was enabled.

This remedies the situation by keeping track of how long each counter
is enabled for, and how long it is actually on the cpu and counting
events.  These times are recorded in nanoseconds using the task clock
for per-task counters and the cpu clock for per-cpu counters.

These values can be supplied to userspace on a read from the counter.
Userspace requests that they be supplied after the counter value by
setting the PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED and/or
PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING bits in the hw_event.read_format field
when creating the counter.  (There is no way to change the read format
after the counter is created, though it would be possible to add some
way to do that.)

Using this information it is possible for userspace to scale the count
it reads from the counter to get an estimate of the true count:

true_count_estimate = count * total_time_enabled / total_time_running

This also lets userspace detect the situation where the counter never
got to go on the cpu: total_time_running == 0.

This functionality has been requested by the PAPI developers, and will
be generally needed for interpreting the count values from counting
counters correctly.

In the implementation, this keeps 5 time values (in nanoseconds) for
each counter: total_time_enabled and total_time_running are used when
the counter is in state OFF or ERROR and for reporting back to
userspace.  When the counter is in state INACTIVE or ACTIVE, it is the
tstamp_enabled, tstamp_running and tstamp_stopped values that are
relevant, and total_time_enabled and total_time_running are determined
from them.  (tstamp_stopped is only used in INACTIVE state.)  The
reason for doing it like this is that it means that only counters
being enabled or disabled at sched-in and sched-out time need to be
updated.  There are no new loops that iterate over all counters to
update total_time_enabled or total_time_running.

This also keeps separate child_total_time_running and
child_total_time_enabled fields that get added in when reporting the
totals to userspace.  They are separate fields so that they can be
atomic.  We don't want to use atomics for total_time_running,
total_time_enabled etc., because then we would have to use atomic
sequences to update them, which are slower than regular arithmetic and
memory accesses.

It is possible to measure total_time_running by adding a task_clock
counter to each group of counters, and total_time_enabled can be
measured approximately with a top-level task_clock counter (though
inaccuracies will creep in if you need to disable and enable groups
since it is not possible in general to disable/enable the top-level
task_clock counter simultaneously with another group).  However, that
adds extra overhead - I measured around 15% increase in the context
switch latency reported by lat_ctx (from lmbench) when a task_clock
counter was added to each of 2 groups, and around 25% increase when a
task_clock counter was added to each of 4 groups.  (In both cases a
top-level task-clock counter was also added.)

In contrast, the code added in this commit gives better information
with no overhead that I could measure (in fact in some cases I
measured lower times with this code, but the differences were all less
than one standard deviation).

c7138f37f9 perf_counter: fix perf_poll()
Impact: fix kerneltop 100% CPU usage

Only return a poll event when there's actually been one, poll_wait()
doesn't actually wait for the waitq you pass it, it only enqueues
you on it.

Only once all FDs have been iterated and none of thm returned a
poll-event will it schedule().

Also make it return POLL_HUP when there's not mmap() area to read from.

Further, fix a silly bug in the write code.

7b732a7504 perf_counter: new output ABI - part 1
Impact: Rework the perfcounter output ABI

use sys_read() only for instant data and provide mmap() output for all
async overflow data.

The first mmap() determines the size of the output buffer. The mmap()
size must be a PAGE_SIZE multiple of 1+pages, where pages must be a
power of 2 or 0. Further mmap()s of the same fd must have the same
size. Once all maps are gone, you can again mmap() with a new size.

In case of 0 extra pages there is no data output and the first page
only contains meta data.

When there are data pages, a poll() event will be generated for each
full page of data. Furthermore, the output is circular. This means
that although 1 page is a valid configuration, its useless, since
we'll start overwriting it the instant we report a full page.

Future work will focus on the output format (currently maintained)
where we'll likey want each entry denoted by a header which includes a
type and length.

Further future work will allow to splice() the fd, also containing the
async overflow data -- splice() would be mutually exclusive with
mmap() of the data.

b09d2501ed mutex: drop "inline" from mutex_lock() inside kernel/mutex.c
Impact: build fix

mutex_lock() is was defined inline in kernel/mutex.c, but wasn't
declared so not in <linux/mutex.h>.  This didn't cause a problem until
checkin 3a2d367d9aabac486ac4444c6c7ec7a1dab16267 added the
atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock() inline in between declaration and
definion.

This broke building with CONFIG_ALLOW_WARNINGS=n, e.g. make
allnoconfig.

Either from the source code nor the allnoconfig binary output I cannot
find any internal references to mutex_lock() in kernel/mutex.c, so
presumably this "inline" is now-useless legacy.

37d8182838 perf_counter: add an mmap method to allow userspace to read hardware counters
Impact: new feature giving performance improvement

This adds the ability for userspace to do an mmap on a hardware counter
fd and get access to a read-only page that contains the information
needed to translate a hardware counter value to the full 64-bit
counter value that would be returned by a read on the fd.  This is
useful on architectures that allow user programs to read the hardware
counters, such as PowerPC.

The mmap will only succeed if the counter is a hardware counter
monitoring the current process.

On my quad 2.5GHz PowerPC 970MP machine, userspace can read a counter
and translate it to the full 64-bit value in about 30ns using the
mmapped page, compared to about 830ns for the read syscall on the
counter, so this does give a significant performance improvement.

b6c5a71da1 perf_counter: abstract wakeup flag setting in core to fix powerpc build
Impact: build fix for powerpc

Commit bd753921015e7905 ("perf_counter: software counter event
infrastructure") introduced a use of TIF_PERF_COUNTERS into the core
perfcounter code.  This breaks the build on powerpc because we use
a flag in a per-cpu area to signal wakeups on powerpc rather than
a thread_info flag, because the thread_info flags have to be
manipulated with atomic operations and are thus slower than per-cpu
flags.

This fixes the by changing the core to use an abstracted
set_perf_counter_pending() function, which is defined on x86 to set
the TIF_PERF_COUNTERS flag and on powerpc to set the per-cpu flag
(paca->perf_counter_pending).  It changes the previous powerpc
definition of set_perf_counter_pending to not take an argument and
adds a clear_perf_counter_pending, so as to simplify the definition
on x86.

On x86, set_perf_counter_pending() is defined as a macro.  Defining
it as a static inline in arch/x86/include/asm/perf_counters.h causes
compile failures because <asm/perf_counters.h> gets included early in
<linux/sched.h>, and the definitions of set_tsk_thread_flag etc. are
therefore not available in <asm/perf_counters.h>.  (On powerpc this
problem is avoided by defining set_perf_counter_pending etc. in
<asm/hw_irq.h>.)

b3897f5671 Audit: fix handling of 'strings' with NULL characters
currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control()
to check if the 'string' has any control characters.  If the 'string' has an
embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has
no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string
with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL.
audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual
audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory
is after the NULL.

Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data
to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it)
we should just consider NULL as a control character.  If the caller is
certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using
audit_log_untrustedstring.

EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts
"\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're
there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round
them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when
creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in
an audit record.

 (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/min-threads

     The minimum number of threads that should be in the pool as long as it is
     in use.  This may be anywhere between 2 and max-threads.

 (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/max-threads

     The maximum number of threads that should in the pool.  This may be

 (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/vslow-percentage

     The percentage of active threads in the pool that may be used to execute
     very slow work items.  This may be between 1 and 99.  The resultant number
     is bounded to between 1 and one fewer than the number of active threads.
     This ensures there is always at least one thread that can process very
     slow work items, and always at least one thread that won't.

07fe7cb7c7 Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work items
Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work items, such
as invoking mkdir() or rmdir() - things that may take a long time and may
sleep, holding mutexes/semaphores and hogging a thread, and are thus unsuitable
for workqueues.

The number of threads is always at least a settable minimum, but more are
started when there's more work to do, up to a limit.  Because of the nature of
the load, it's not suitable for a 1-thread-per-CPU type pool.  A system with
one CPU may well want several threads.

This is used by FS-Cache to do slow caching operations in the background, such
as looking up, creating or deleting cache objects.

42af9054c0 kmemtrace: restore original tracing data binary format, improve ABI
When kmemtrace was ported to ftrace, the marker strings were taken as
an indication of how the traced data was being exposed to the userspace.
However, the actual format had been binary, not text.

This restores the original binary format, while also adding an origin CPU
field (since ftrace doesn't expose the data per-CPU to userspace), and
re-adding the timestamp field. It also drops arch-independent field
sizing where it didn't make sense, so pointers won't always be 64 bits
wide like they used to.

e8c158bb31 Factor out #ifdefs from kernel/spinlock.c to LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS
SGI has observed that on large systems, interrupts are not serviced for a
long period of time when waiting for a rwlock.  The following patch series
re-enables irqs while waiting for the lock, resembling the code which is
already there for spinlocks.

I only made the ia64 version, because the patch adds some overhead to the
fast path.  I assume there is currently no demand to have this for other
architectures, because the systems are not so large.  Of course, the
possibility to implement raw_{read|write}_lock_flags for any architecture
is still there.

This patch:

The new macro LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS expands to the correct implementation
depending on the config options, so that IRQ's are re-enabled when
possible, but they remain disabled if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is set.

1b0f7ffd0e pids: kill signal_struct-> __pgrp/__session and friends
We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement
task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr().

task_session_nr() has no callers since
2e2ba22ea4, we can remove it.

task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and
fs/coda.

This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills
__pgrp/__session and the related helpers.

The change in drivers/char/tty_io.c is cosmetic, but hopefully makes sense
anyway.

52ee2dfdd4 pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe
Inho, the safety rules for vnr/nr_ns helpers are horrible and buggy.

task_pid_nr_ns(task) needs rcu/tasklist depending on task == current.

As for "special" pids, vnr/nr_ns helpers always need rcu.  However, if
task != current, they are unsafe even under rcu lock, we can't trust
task->group_leader without the special checks.

And almost every helper has a callsite which needs a fix.

Also, it is a bit annoying that the implementations of, say,
task_pgrp_vnr() and task_pgrp_nr_ns() are not "symmetrical".

This patch introduces the new helper, __task_pid_nr_ns(), which is always
safe to use, and turns all other helpers into the trivial wrappers.

After this I'll send another patch which converts task_tgid_xxx() as well,
they're are a bit special.

1ee1184485 ptrace_untrace: fix the SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED check
This bug is ancient too. ptrace_untrace() must not resume the task
if the group stop in progress, we should set TASK_STOPPED instead.

Unfortunately, we still have problems here:

	- if the process/thread was traced, SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED
	  does not necessary means this thread group is stopped.

	- ptrace breaks the bookkeeping of ->group_stop_count.

95a3540da9 ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic
Another ancient bug. Consider this trivial test-case,

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid = fork();

		if (pid) {
			ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
			wait(NULL);
			ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
		} else {
			pause();
			printf("WE HAVE A KERNEL BUG!!!\n");
		}

		return 0;
	}

the child must not "escape" for sys_pause(), but it can and this was seen
in practice.

This is because ptrace_detach does:

	if (!child->exit_state)
		wake_up_process(child);

this wakeup can happen after this child has already restarted sys_pause(),
because it gets another wakeup from ptrace_untrace().

With or without this patch, perhaps sys_pause() needs a fix.  But this
wakeup also breaks the SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED logic in ptrace_untrace().

Remove this wakeup.  The caller saw this task in TASK_TRACED state, and
unless it was SIGKILL'ed in between __ptrace_unlink()->ptrace_untrace()
should handle this case correctly.  If it was SIGKILL'ed, we don't need to
wakup the dying tracee too.

5dfc80be73 forget_original_parent: do not abuse child->ptrace_entry
By discussion with Roland.

- Use ->sibling instead of ->ptrace_entry to chain the need to be
  release_task'd childs. Nobody else can use ->sibling, this task
  is EXIT_DEAD and nobody can find it on its own list.

- rename ptrace_dead to dead_childs.

- Now that we don't have the "parallel" untrace code, change back
  reparent_thread() to return void, pass dead_childs as an argument.

Actually, I don't understand why do we notify /sbin/init when we
reparent a zombie, probably it is better to reap it unconditionally.

7f5d3652d4 reparent_thread: fix a zombie leak if /sbin/init ignores SIGCHLD
If /sbin/init ignores SIGCHLD and we re-parent a zombie, it is leaked.
reparent_thread() does do_notify_parent() which sets ->exit_signal = -1 in
this case.  This means that nobody except us can reap it, the detached
task is not visible to do_wait().

Change reparent_thread() to return a boolean (like __pthread_detach) to
indicate that the thread is dead and must be released.  Also change
forget_original_parent() to add the child to ptrace_dead list in this
case.

0a967a044a reparent_thread: don't call kill_orphaned_pgrp() if task_detached()
If task_detached(p) == T, then either

  a) p is not the main thread, we will find the group leader on the

or

  b) p is the group leader but its ->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD.  This
     can only happen when the last sub-thread has died, but in that case
     that thread has already called kill_orphaned_pgrp() from
     exit_notify().

In both cases kill_orphaned_pgrp() looks bogus.

Move the task_detached() check up and simplify the code, this is also
right from the "common sense" pov: we should do nothing with the detached

ignoring_children() takes parent->sighand->siglock and checks
k_sigaction[SIGCHLD] atomically.  But this buys nothing, we can't get the

the "stale" sa_handler/sa_flags we can pretend it was changed right after
the check.

Remove spin_lock(->siglock), and kill "int ign" which caches the result of
ignoring_children() which becomes rather trivial.

Perhaps it makes sense to export this helper, do_notify_parent() can use
it too.

b3bfa0cba8 signals: protect cinit from blocked fatal signals
Normally SIG_DFL signals to global and container-init are dropped early.
But if a signal is blocked when it is posted, we cannot drop the signal
since the receiver may install a handler before unblocking the signal.
Once this signal is queued however, the receiver container-init has no way
of knowing if the signal was sent from an ancestor or descendant
namespace.  This patch ensures that contianer-init drops all SIG_DFL
signals in get_signal_to_deliver() except SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.

If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from a descendant of container-init they are
never queued (i.e dropped in sig_ignored() in an earler patch).

If SIGSTOP/SIGKILL originate from parent namespace, the signal is queued
and container-init processes the signal.

IOW, if get_signal_to_deliver() sees a sig_kernel_only() signal for global
or container-init, the signal must have been generated internally or must
have come from an ancestor ns and we process the signal.

Further, the signal_group_exit() check was needed to cover the case of a
multi-threaded init sending SIGKILL to other threads when doing an exit()
or exec().  But since the new sig_kernel_only() check covers the SIGKILL,
the signal_group_exit() check is no longer needed and can be removed.

Finally, now that we have all pieces in place, set SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE for
container-inits.

7978b567d3 signals: add from_ancestor_ns parameter to send_signal()
send_signal() (or its helper) needs to determine the pid namespace of the
sender.  But a signal sent via kill_pid_info_as_uid() comes from within
the kernel and send_signal() does not need to determine the pid namespace

additional parameter, 'from_ancestor_ns' and have kill_pid_info_as_uid()
use that helper directly.

The 'from_ancestor_ns' parameter will be used in a follow-on patch.

f008faff0e signals: protect init from unwanted signals more
(This is a modified version of the patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/18/249 and tries to address comments that
came up in that discussion)

init ignores the SIG_DFL signals but we queue them anyway, including
SIGKILL.  This is mostly OK, the signal will be dropped silently when
dequeued, but the pending SIGKILL has 2 bad implications:

        - it implies fatal_signal_pending(), so we confuse things
          like wait_for_completion_killable/lock_page_killable.

        - for the sub-namespace inits, the pending SIGKILL can
          mask (legacy_queue) the subsequent SIGKILL from the
          parent namespace which must kill cinit reliably.
          (preparation, cinits don't have SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE yet)

The patch can't help when init is ptraced, but ptracing of init is not
"safe" anyway.

43918f2bf4 signals: remove 'handler' parameter to tracehook functions
Container-init must behave like global-init to processes within the
container and hence it must be immune to unhandled fatal signals from
within the container (i.e SIG_DFL signals that terminate the process).

But the same container-init must behave like a normal process to processes
in ancestor namespaces and so if it receives the same fatal signal from a
process in ancestor namespace, the signal must be processed.

Implementing these semantics requires that send_signal() determine pid
namespace of the sender but since signals can originate from workqueues/
interrupt-handlers, determining pid namespace of sender may not always be
possible or safe.

This patchset implements the design/simplified semantics suggested by
Oleg Nesterov.  The simplified semantics for container-init are:

	- container-init must never be terminated by a signal from a
	  descendant process.

	- container-init must never be immune to SIGKILL from an ancestor
	  namespace (so a process in parent namespace must always be able
	  to terminate a descendant container).

	- container-init may be immune to unhandled fatal signals (like
	  SIGUSR1) even if they are from ancestor namespace. SIGKILL/SIGSTOP
	  are the only reliable signals to a container-init from ancestor
	  namespace.

This patch:

Based on an earlier patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov and comments from
Roland McGrath (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/19/258).

The handler parameter is currently unused in the tracehook functions.
Besides, the tracehook functions are called with siglock held, so the
functions can check the handler if they later need to.

Removing the parameter simiplifies changes to sig_ignored() in a follow-on
patch.

90bc8d8b1a do_wait: fix waiting for the group stop with the dead leader
do_wait(WSTOPPED) assumes that p->state must be == TASK_STOPPED, this is
not true if the leader is already dead.  Check SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED instead
and use signal->group_exit_code.

Trivial test-case:

	void *tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		pause();
		return NULL;
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		pthread_t thr;
		pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
		pthread_exit(NULL);
		return 0;
	}

It doesn't react to ^Z (and then to ^C or ^\). The task is stopped, but
bash can't see this.

The bug is very old, and it was reported multiple times. This patch was sent
more than a year ago (http://marc.info/?t=119713920000003) but it was ignored.

This change also fixes other oddities (but not all) in this area.  For
example, before this patch:

	$ sleep 100
	^Z
	[1]+  Stopped                 sleep 100
	$ strace -p `pidof sleep`
	Process 11442 attached - interrupt to quit

strace hangs in do_wait(), because ->exit_code was already consumed by
bash.  After this patch, strace happily proceeds:

	--- SIGTSTP (Stopped) @ 0 (0) ---
	restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>

To me, this looks much more "natural" and correct.

Another example.  Let's suppose we have the main thread M and sub-thread
T, the process is stopped, and its parent did wait(WSTOPPED).  Now we can
ptrace T but not M.  This looks at least strange to me.

Imho, do_wait() should not confuse the per-thread ptrace stops with the
per-process job control stops.

6d7b2f5f9e cpusets: prevent PF_THREAD_BOUND tasks from attaching to non-root cpusets
Kthreads that have the PF_THREAD_BOUND bit set in their flags are bound to a
specific cpu.  Thus, their set of allowed cpus shall not change.

This patch prevents such threads from attaching to non-root cpusets.  They do
not have mempolicies that restrict them to a subset of system nodes and, since
their cpumask may never change, they cannot use any of the features of
cpusets.

The tasks will forever be a member of the root cpuset and will be returned
when listing the tasks attached to that cpuset.

db7f47cf48 cpusets: allow cpusets to be configured/built on non-SMP systems
Allow cpusets to be configured/built on non-SMP systems

Currently it's impossible to build cpusets under UML on x86-64, since
cpusets depends on SMP and x86-64 UML doesn't support SMP.

There's code in cpusets that doesn't depend on SMP.  This patch surrounds
the minimum amount of cpusets code with #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in order to
allow cpusets to build/run on UP systems (for testing purposes under UML).

010cfac4ca cpuset: avoid changing cpuset's mems when errno returned
When writing to cpuset.mems, cpuset has to update its mems_allowed before
calling update_tasks_nodemask(), but this function might return -ENOMEM.

To avoid this rare case, we allocate the memory before changing
mems_allowed, and then pass to update_tasks_nodemask().  Similar to what
update_cpumask() does.

3b6766fe66 cpuset: rewrite update_tasks_nodemask()
This patch uses cgroup_scan_tasks() to rebind tasks' vmas to new cpuset's
mems_allowed.

Not only simplify the code largely, but also avoid allocating an array to
hold mm pointers of all the tasks in the cpuset.  This array can be big
(size > PAGESIZE) if we have lots of tasks in that cpuset, thus has a
chance to fail the allocation when under memory stress.
