aee4faa499 kthread: use N_MEMORY instead N_HIGH_MEMORY
N_HIGH_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has normal or high memory.
N_MEMORY stands for the nodes that has any memory.

The code here need to handle with the nodes which have memory, we should
use N_MEMORY instead.

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
     kernel/fork.c now."

d206e09036 Merge branch 'for-3.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on cgroup side.  The big changes are focused on
  making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.

   - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
     destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
     drain refcnt synchronously.  The vetoing never worked properly and
     caused good deal of contortions in cgroup.  memcg was the last
     reamining user.  Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
     path has been simplified significantly.  This was done in a
     separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
     changes on top.

   - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
     implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
     improve hierarchy support.

   - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
     cgroup and handle hierarchy.  If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
     cgroups are frozen.

   - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
     properly.

   - Various fixes and cleanups.

   - Two merge commits.  One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
     to build iterators).  The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
     device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be
     stacked on top."

74b8423345 Merge branch 'x86-bsp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 BSP hotplug changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree enables CPU#0 (the boot processor) to be onlined/offlined on
  x86, just like any other CPU.  Enabled on Intel CPUs for now.

  Allowing this required the identification and fixing of latent CPU#0
  assumptions (such as CPU#0 initializations, etc.) in the x86
  architecture code, plus the identification of barriers to
  BSP-offlining, such as active PIC interrupts which can only be
  serviced on the BSP.

  It's behind a default-off option, and there's a debug option that
  allows the automatic testing of this feature.

  The motivation of this feature is to allow and prepare for true
  CPU-hotplug hardware support: recent changes to MCE support enable us
  to detect a deteriorating but not yet hard-failing L1/L2 cache on a
  CPU that could be soft-unplugged - or a failing L3 cache on a
  multi-socket system.

  Note that true hardware hot-plug is not yet fully enabled by this,
  because that requires a special platform wakeup sequence to be sent to
  the freshly powered up CPU#0.  Future patches for this are planned,
  once such a platform exists.  Chicken and egg"

f57d54bab6 Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change affects group scheduling: we now track the runnable
  average on a per-task entity basis, allowing a smoother, exponential
  decay average based load/weight estimation instead of the previous
  binary on-the-runqueue/off-the-runqueue load weight method.

  This will inevitably disturb workloads that were in some sort of
  borderline balancing state or unstable equilibrium, so an eye has to
  be kept on regressions.

  For that reason the new load average is only limited to group
  scheduling (shares distribution) at the moment (which was also hurting
  the most from the prior, crude weight calculation and whose scheduling
  quality wins most from this change) - but we plan to extend this to
  regular SMP balancing as well in the future, which will simplify and
  speed up things a bit.

  Other changes involve ongoing preparatory work to extend NOHZ to the
  scheduler as well, eventually allowing completely irq-free user-space
  execution."

   * Implement ui_progress for GTK, from Namhyung Kim

   * Add framework for automated perf_event_attr tests, where tools with
     different command line options will be run from a 'perf test', via
     python glue, and the perf syscall will be intercepted to verify
     that the perf_event_attr fields set by the tool are those expected,
     from Jiri Olsa

   * Add a 'link' method for hists, so that we can have the leader with
     buckets for all the entries in all the hists.  This new method is
     now used in the default 'diff' output, making the sum of the
     'baseline' column be 100%, eliminating blind spots.

   * libtraceevent fixes for compiler warnings trying to make perf it
     build on some distros, like fedora 14, 32-bit, some of the warnings
     really pointed to real bugs.

   * Add a browser for 'perf script' and make it available from the

   * Use sched:sched_stat_runtime to provide a thread summary, this
     produces the same output as the 'trace summary' subcommand of
     tglx's original "trace" tool.

   * Support interrupted syscalls in 'trace'

   * Add an event duration column and filter in 'trace'.

   * There are references to the man pages in some tools, so try to
     build Documentation when installing, warning the user if that is
     not possible, from Borislav Petkov.

   * Give user better message if precise is not supported, from David

     environment information in the perf.data file header, from Irina
     Tirdea, original patch and idea by Namhyung Kim.

   * Diplays more output on features check for make V=1, so that one can
     figure out what is happening by looking at gcc output, etc.  From
     Jiri Olsa.

   * Add on_exit implementation for systems without one, e.g.  Android,

Pull RCU update from Ingo Molnar:
 "The major features of this tree are:

     1. A first version of no-callbacks CPUs.  This version prohibits
        offlining CPU 0, but only when enabled via CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.
        Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready
        for prime time.  These commits were posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724.

     2. Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct
        structures.  These commits were posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/296.

     3. Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output.  These commits were posted
        to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/341.

     4. Additional CPU-hotplug/RCU improvements, posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/327.
        Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to
        be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9.

     5. Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module
        parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to
        their expedited equivalents.  These were posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739.

     6. Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility,
        posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315.
        The most notable change reduces the
        default RCU CPU stall-warning time from 60 seconds to 21 seconds,
        so that it once again happens sooner than the softlockup timeout.

     7. Documentation updates, which were posted to LKML at
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/280.
        A couple of late-breaking changes were posted at

        https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/547.

     8. Miscellaneous fixes, which were posted to LKML at

     9. Finally, a fix for an lockdep-RCU splat was posted to LKML

Fixed up some trivial conflicts in the staging tree, due to the fwserial
driver having come in both ways (but fixed up a bit in the serial tree),
and the ioctl handling in the dgrp driver having been done slightly
differently (staging tree got that one right, and removed both
TIOCGSOFTCAR and TIOCSSOFTCAR).

cff2f741b8 Driver core updates for 3.8-rc1
Here's the large driver core updates for 3.8-rc1.
 
 The biggest thing here is the various __dev* marking removals.  This is
 going to be a pain for the merge with different subsystem trees, I know,
 but all of the patches included here have been ACKed by their various
 subsystem maintainers, as they wanted them to go through here.
 
 If this is too much of a pain, I can pull all of them out of this tree
 and just send you one with the other fixes/updates and then, after
 3.8-rc1 is out, do the rest of the removals to ensure we catch them all,
 it's up to you.  The merges should all be trivial, and Stephen has been
 doing them all in linux-next for a few weeks now quite easily.
 
 Other than the __dev* marking removals, there's nothing major here, some
 firmware loading updates and other minor things in the driver core.
 
 All of these have (much to Stephen's annoyance), been in linux-next for
 a while.

5bca230353 mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node
Due to the fact that migrations are driven by the CPU a task is running
on there is no point tracking NUMA faults until one task runs on a new
node. This patch tracks the first node used by an address space. Until
it changes, PTE scanning is disabled and no NUMA hinting faults are
trapped. This should help workloads that are short-lived, do not care
about NUMA placement or have bound themselves to a single node.

This takes advantage of the logic in "mm: sched: numa: Implement slow
start for working set sampling" to delay when the checks are made. This
will take advantage of processes that set their CPU and node bindings
early in their lifetime. It will also potentially allow any initial load
balancing to take place.

b8593bfda1 mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate
The PTE scanning rate and fault rates are two of the biggest sources of
system CPU overhead with automatic NUMA placement.  Ideally a proper policy
would detect if a workload was properly placed, schedule and adjust the
PTE scanning rate accordingly. We do not track the necessary information
to do that but we at least know if we migrated or not.

This patch scans slower if a page was not migrated as the result of a
NUMA hinting fault up to sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_period_max which is
now higher than the previous default. Once every minute it will reset
the scanner in case of phase changes.

This is hilariously crude and the numbers are arbitrary. Workloads will
converge quite slowly in comparison to what a proper policy should be able
to do. On the plus side, we will chew up less CPU for workloads that have
no need for automatic balancing.

fb003b80da sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handled
Currently the rate of scanning for an address space is controlled
by the individual tasks. The next scan is simply determined by
2*p->numa_scan_period.

The 2*p->numa_scan_period is arbitrary and never changes. At this point
there is still no proper policy that decides if a task or process is
properly placed. It just scans and assumes the next NUMA fault will
place it properly. As it is assumed that pages will get properly placed
over time, increase the scan window each time a fault is incurred. This
is a big assumption as noted in the comments.

It should be noted that changing to p->numa_scan_period will increase
system CPU usage because now the scanning rate has effectively doubled.
If that is a problem then the min_rate should be made 200ms instead of
restoring the 2* logic.

e14808b49f mm: numa: Rate limit setting of pte_numa if node is saturated
If there are a large number of NUMA hinting faults and all of them
are resulting in migrations it may indicate that memory is just
bouncing uselessly around. NUMA balancing cost is likely exceeding
any benefit from locality. Rate limit the PTE updates if the node
is migration rate-limited. As noted in the comments, this distorts
the NUMA faulting statistics.

4b96a29ba8 mm: sched: numa: Implement slow start for working set sampling
Add a 1 second delay before starting to scan the working set of
a task and starting to balance it amongst nodes.

[ note that before the constant per task WSS sampling rate patch
  the initial scan would happen much later still, in effect that
  patch caused this regression. ]

The theory is that short-run tasks benefit very little from NUMA
placement: they come and go, and they better stick to the node
they were started on. As tasks mature and rebalance to other CPUs
and nodes, so does their NUMA placement have to change and so
does it start to matter more and more.

In practice this change fixes an observable kbuild regression:

   # [ a perf stat --null --repeat 10 test of ten bzImage builds to /dev/shm ]

   !NUMA:
   45.291088843 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.40% )
   45.154231752 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.36% )

   +NUMA, no slow start:
   46.172308123 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.30% )

   +NUMA, 1 sec slow start:
   45.224189155 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.25% )
   45.160866532 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.17% )

and it also fixes an observable perf bench (hackbench) regression:

   # perf stat --null --repeat 10 perf bench sched messaging

   -NUMA:

   -NUMA:                  0.246225691 seconds time elapsed                   ( +-  1.31% )
   +NUMA no slow start:    0.252620063 seconds time elapsed                   ( +-  1.13% )

   +NUMA 1sec delay:       0.248076230 seconds time elapsed                   ( +-  1.35% )

The implementation is simple and straightforward, most of the patch
deals with adding the /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms tunable
knob.

6e5fb223e8 mm: sched: numa: Implement constant, per task Working Set Sampling (WSS) rate
Previously, to probe the working set of a task, we'd use
a very simple and crude method: mark all of its address
space PROT_NONE.

That method has various (obvious) disadvantages:

 - it samples the working set at dissimilar rates,
   giving some tasks a sampling quality advantage
   over others.

 - creates performance problems for tasks with very
   large working sets

 - over-samples processes with large address spaces but
   which only very rarely execute

Improve that method by keeping a rotating offset into the
address space that marks the current position of the scan,
and advance it by a constant rate (in a CPU cycles execution
proportional manner). If the offset reaches the last mapped
address of the mm then it then it starts over at the first
address.

The per-task nature of the working set sampling functionality in this tree
allows such constant rate, per task, execution-weight proportional sampling
of the working set, with an adaptive sampling interval/frequency that
goes from once per 100ms up to just once per 8 seconds.  The current
sampling volume is 256 MB per interval.

As tasks mature and converge their working set, so does the
sampling rate slow down to just a trickle, 256 MB per 8
seconds of CPU time executed.

This, beyond being adaptive, also rate-limits rarely
executing systems and does not over-sample on overloaded
systems.

[ In AutoNUMA speak, this patch deals with the effective sampling
  rate of the 'hinting page fault'. AutoNUMA's scanning is
  currently rate-limited, but it is also fundamentally
  single-threaded, executing in the knuma_scand kernel thread,
  so the limit in AutoNUMA is global and does not scale up with
  the number of CPUs, nor does it scan tasks in an execution
  proportional manner.

  So the idea of rate-limiting the scanning was first implemented
  in the AutoNUMA tree via a global rate limit. This patch goes
  beyond that by implementing an execution rate proportional
  working set sampling rate that is not implemented via a single
  global scanning daemon. ]

[ Dan Carpenter pointed out a possible NULL pointer dereference in the
  first version of this patch. ]

cbee9f88ec mm: numa: Add fault driven placement and migration
NOTE: This patch is based on "sched, numa, mm: Add fault driven
	placement and migration policy" but as it throws away all the policy
	to just leave a basic foundation I had to drop the signed-offs-by.

This patch creates a bare-bones method for setting PTEs pte_numa in the
context of the scheduler that when faulted later will be faulted onto the
node the CPU is running on.  In itself this does nothing useful but any
placement policy will fundamentally depend on receiving hints on placement
from fault context and doing something intelligent about it.

Don't use enum-type bitfields in the module signature info block as we can't be
certain how the compiler will handle them.  As I understand it, it is arch
dependent, and it is possible for the compiler to rearrange them based on
endianness and to insert a byte of padding to pad the three enums out to four
bytes.

Instead use u8 fields for these, which the compiler should emit in the right
order without padding.

8d4516904b watchdog: Fix CPU hotplug regression
Norbert reported:
"3.7-rc6 booted with nmi_watchdog=0 fails to suspend to RAM or
 offline CPUs. It's reproducable with a KVM guest and physical
 system."

The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread
infrastructure) missed to take this into account. So the cpu offline
code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non
initialized data structures.

Add a check for watchdog_enabled into that path to cure the issue.

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "So, safe fixes my ass.

  Commit 8852aac25e79 ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue
  timer on 0 delay") had the side-effect of performing delayed_work
  sanity checks even when @delay is 0, which should be fine for any sane
  use cases.

  Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious.  It seemingly
  wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was
  introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work
  as it was only going to use 0 @delay.  So, it only allocated space for
  struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed
  it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to
  save some bytes.

  Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for
  now.  It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync()
  but I think we better do that after 3.7.

  I added another commit to change BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work()
  to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that the kernel doesn't crash even if there are
  more such abuses."

fc4b514f27 workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s
8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on
0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in
megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and
then pass that into queue_delayed_work().

Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to
queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work.  8852aac25e
moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on
delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON().

Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix
BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts
BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such
abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the
machine.

fd8ef11730 Revert "sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled"
This reverts commit 800d4d30c8f20bd728e5741a3b77c4859a613f7c.

Between commits 8323f26ce342 ("sched: Fix race in task_group()") and
800d4d30c8f2 ("sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is
disabled"), autogroup is a wreck.

With both applied, all you have to do to crash a box is disable
autogroup during boot up, then reboot..  boom, NULL pointer dereference
due to commit 800d4d30c8f2 not allowing autogroup to move things, and
commit 8323f26ce342 making that the only way to switch runqueues:

cgroup_clear_directroy is called by cgroup_d_remove_dir

when we call cgroup_remount to remount the cgroup,the subsystem
may be unlinked from cgroupfs_root->subsys_list in rebind_subsystem,this
subsystem's files will not be removed in cgroup_clear_directroy.
And the system will panic when we try to access these files.

this patch removes subsystems's files before rebind_subsystems,
if rebind_subsystems failed, repopulate these removed files.

Conflicts:
	arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c

Pull the latest RCU tree from Paul E. McKenney:

"       The major features of this series are:

  1.	A first version of no-callbacks CPUs.  This version prohibits
  	offlining CPU 0, but only when enabled via CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.
  	Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready
  	for prime time.  These commits were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724, and are at branch rcu/nocb.

  2.	Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct
  	structures.  These commits were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/296, and are at branch rcu/srcu.

  3.	Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output.  These commits were posted
  	to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/341, and are at
  	branch rcu/tracing.

  4.	Additional CPU-hotplug/RCU improvements, posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/327, and are at branch rcu/hotplug.
  	Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to
  	be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9.

  5.	Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module
  	parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to
  	their expedited equivalents.  These were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739, and are at branch rcu/idle.

  6.	Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility,
  	posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315, and
  	are at branch rcu/stall.  The most notable change reduces the
  	default RCU CPU stall-warning time from 60 seconds to 21 seconds,
  	so that it once again happens sooner than the softlockup timeout.

  7.	Documentation updates, which were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/280, and are at branch rcu/doc.
  	A couple of late-breaking changes were posted at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/634 and
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/547.

  8.	Miscellaneous fixes, which were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/309, along with a late-breaking
  	change posted at Fri, 16 Nov 2012 11:26:25 -0800 with message-ID
  	<20121116192625.GA447@linux.vnet.ibm.com>, but which lkml.org
  	seems to have missed.  These are at branch rcu/fixes.

  9.	Finally, a fix for an lockdep-RCU splat was posted to LKML
  	at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/7/486.  This is at rcu/next. "

Recently, workqueue code has gone through some changes and we found
some bugs related to concurrency management operations happening on
the wrong CPU.  When a worker is concurrency managed
(!WORKER_NOT_RUNNIG), it should be bound to its associated cpu and
woken up to that cpu.  Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to verify this.
