bbaa4168b2 fanotify: sys_fanotify_mark declartion
This patch simply declares the new sys_fanotify_mark syscall

11637e4b7d fanotify: fanotify_init syscall declaration
This patch defines a new syscall fanotify_init() of the form:

int sys_fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags,
		      unsigned int priority)

This syscall is used to create and fanotify group.  This is very similar to
the inotify_init() syscall.

1a3aedbce4 Audit: audit watch init should not be before fsnotify init
Audit watch init and fsnotify init both use subsys_initcall() but since the
audit watch code is linked in before the fsnotify code the audit watch code
would be using the fsnotify srcu struct before it was initialized.  This
patch fixes that problem by moving audit watch init to device_initcall() so
it happens after fsnotify is ready.

7a0ea09ad5 futex: futex_find_get_task remove credentails check
futex_find_get_task is currently used (through lookup_pi_state) from two
contexts, futex_requeue and futex_lock_pi_atomic.  None of the paths
looks it needs the credentials check, though.  Different (e)uids
shouldn't matter at all because the only thing that is important for
shared futex is the accessibility of the shared memory.

The credentail check results in glibc assert failure or process hang (if
glibc is compiled without assert support) for shared robust pthread
mutex with priority inheritance if a process tries to lock already held
lock owned by a process with a different euid:

pthread_mutex_lock.c:312: __pthread_mutex_lock_full: Assertion `(-(e)) != 3 || !robust' failed.

The problem is that futex_lock_pi_atomic which is called when we try to
lock already held lock checks the current holder (tid is stored in the
futex value) to get the PI state.  It uses lookup_pi_state which in turn
gets task struct from futex_find_get_task.  ESRCH is returned either
when the task is not found or if credentials check fails.

futex_lock_pi_atomic simply returns if it gets ESRCH.  glibc code,
however, doesn't expect that robust lock returns with ESRCH because it
should get either success or owner died.

f3b577dec1 rcu: apply RCU protection to wake_affine()
The task_group() function returns a pointer that must be protected
by either RCU, the ->alloc_lock, or the cgroup lock (see the
rcu_dereference_check() in task_subsys_state(), which is invoked by
task_group()).  The wake_affine() function currently does none of these,
which means that a concurrent update would be within its rights to free
the structure returned by task_group().  Because wake_affine() uses this
structure only to compute load-balancing heuristics, there is no reason
to acquire either of the two locks.

Therefore, this commit introduces an RCU read-side critical section that
starts before the first call to task_group() and ends after the last use
of the "tg" pointer returned from task_group().  Thanks to Li Zefan for
pointing out the need to extend the RCU read-side critical section from
that proposed by the original patch.

3c93717cfa sched: Fix over-scheduling bug
Commit e70971591 ("sched: Optimize unused cgroup configuration") introduced
an imbalanced scheduling bug.

If we do not use CGROUP, function update_h_load won't update h_load. When the
system has a large number of tasks far more than logical CPU number, the
incorrect cfs_rq[cpu]->h_load value will cause load_balance() to pull too
many tasks to the local CPU from the busiest CPU. So the busiest CPU keeps
going in a round robin. That will hurt performance.

The issue was found originally by a scientific calculation workload that
developed by Yanmin. With that commit, the workload performance drops
about 40%.

3310d4d38f nohz: Fix nohz ratelimit
Chris Wedgwood reports that 39c0cbe (sched: Rate-limit nohz) causes a
serial console regression, unresponsiveness, and indeed it does. The
reason is that the nohz code is skipped even when the tick was already
stopped before the nohz_ratelimit(cpu) condition changed.

Move the nohz_ratelimit() check to the other conditions which prevent
long idle sleeps.

a8fb260805 perf/tracing: Fix regression of perf losing kprobe events
With the addition of the code to shrink the kernel tracepoint
infrastructure, we lost kprobes being traced by perf. The reason
is that I tested if the "tp_event->class->perf_probe" existed before
enabling it. This prevents "ftrace only" events (like the function
trace events) from being enabled by perf.

Unfortunately, kprobe events do not use perf_probe. This causes
kprobes to be missed by perf. To fix this, we add the test to
see if "tp_event->class->reg" exists as well as perf_probe.

Normal trace events have only "perf_probe" but no "reg" function,
and kprobes and syscalls have the "reg" but no "perf_probe".
The ftrace unique events do not have either, so this is a valid
test. If a kprobe or syscall is not to be probed by perf, the
"reg" function is called anyway, and will return a failure and
prevent perf from probing it.

4673247562 genirq: Deal with desc->set_type() changing desc->chip
The set_type() function can change the chip implementation when the
trigger mode changes. That might result in using an non-initialized
irq chip when called from __setup_irq() or when called via
set_irq_type() on an already enabled irq. 

The set_irq_type() function should not be called on an enabled irq,
but because we forgot to put a check into it, we have a bunch of users
which grew the habit of doing that and it never blew up as the
function is serialized via desc->lock against all users of desc->chip
and they never hit the non-initialized irq chip issue.

The easy fix for the __setup_irq() issue would be to move the
irq_chip_set_defaults(desc->chip) call after the trigger setting to
make sure that a chip change is covered.

But as we have already users, which do the type setting after
request_irq(), the safe fix for now is to call irq_chip_set_defaults()
from __irq_set_trigger() when desc->set_type() changed the irq chip.

It needs a deeper analysis whether we should refuse to change the chip
on an already enabled irq, but that'd be a large scale change to fix
all the existing users. So that's neither stable nor 2.6.35 material.

dc61b1d65e sched: Fix PROVE_RCU vs cpu_cgroup
PROVE_RCU has a few issues with the cpu_cgroup because the scheduler
typically holds rq->lock around the css rcu derefs but the generic
cgroup code doesn't (and can't) know about that lock.

Provide means to add extra checks to the css dereference and use that
in the scheduler to annotate its users.

The addition of rq->lock to these checks is correct because the
cgroup_subsys::attach() method takes the rq->lock for each task it
moves, therefore by holding that lock, we ensure the task is pinned to
the current cgroup and the RCU derefence is valid.

That leaves one genuine race in __sched_setscheduler() where we used
task_group() without holding any of the required locks and thus raced
with the cgroup code. Solve this by moving the check under the
appropriate lock.
