Presently do_execve() turns PF_KTHREAD off before search_binary_handler().
THis has a theorical risk of PF_KTHREAD getting lost. We don't have to
turn PF_KTHREAD off in the ENOEXEC case.
This patch moves this flag modification to after the finding of the
executable file.
This is only a theorical issue because kthreads do not call do_execve()
directly. But fixing would be better.

In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each
irq's events on all cpus. But we can make use of kstat_irqs().
kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ,
it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.)
If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does
for_each_irq()
for_each_cpu()
- look up a radix tree
- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]
This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for
CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as
for_each_irq()
look up radix tree
for_each_cpu()
- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]
This reduces cost.

/proc/stat shows the total number of all interrupts to each cpu. But when
the number of IRQs are very large, it take very long time and 'cat
/proc/stat' takes more than 10 secs. This is because sum of all irq
events are counted when /proc/stat is read. This patch adds "sum of all
irq" counter percpu and reduce read costs.
The cost of reading /proc/stat is important because it's used by major
applications as 'top', 'ps', 'w', etc....

This is okay because the strings is less than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. "cat
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" shows the whole string. but after we run
core_pattern_pipe_test in man page, we found last parameter was truncated
like below:
argc[10]=<12807486>
The root cause is core_pattern allows % specifiers, which need to be
replaced during parse time, but the replace may expand the strings to
larger than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. So if the last parameter is % specifiers,
the replace code is using snprintf(out_ptr, out_end - out_ptr, ...), this
will write out of corename array.

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing
a 32bit value :
<quote>
We were seeing a failure which prevented boot. The kernel was incapable
of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket. This comes down
to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does:
atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks);
if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files())
goto out;
The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files.
files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in
fs/file_table.c's files_init().
n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10;
files_stat.max_files = n;
In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384
(0xe0000000). That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553.
This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow.
</quote>
Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long
integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of atomic_t.
get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long. get_nr_files() is
changed to return a long.
unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not
strictly needed to address Robin problem.

The lock number in /proc/locks (first field) is implemented by a counter
(private field of struct seq_file) which is incremented at each call of
locks_show() and reset to 1 in locks_start() whatever the offset is. It
should be reset according to the actual position in the list. Because of
this, the numbering erratically restarts at 1 several times when reading a
long /proc/locks file.
Moreover, locks_show() can be called twice to print a single line thus
skipping a number. The counter should be incremented in locks_next().
And last, pos is a loff_t, which can be bigger than a pointer, so we don't
use the pointer as an integer anymore, and allocate a loff_t instead.

At the same time, fix balance_dirty_pages() to work with the

To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback
behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat.
# grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat
nr_dirtied 3747
# grep nr_written /proc/vmstat
nr_written 3618
These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time
and learn how it is impacting their performance. Currently there is no
way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time. It's not possible for
nr_dirty/nr_writeback.
These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour.
We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block
layer. We have blktrace for more in depth understanding. We have
e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour,
but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is
doing. There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if
it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts. With these values
exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending
through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this
data. Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to
see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the
rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end. This allows folks to
understand their io workloads and track kernel issues. Non kernel
engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance
problems.
Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written
Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat
Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to
/proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases
and file servers and are not debugging the kernel.
The output is as below:
# grep threshold /proc/vmstat
nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111
nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223
This patch:
This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page
writeback state and not worry about the other accounting. Not using these
routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get
bugs.

This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efe
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are
no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.
We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
is unfair in terms of LRU age.

It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be
killed to allow future memory freeing. A subsequent patch will prevent
kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task
that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an
additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2)
function.
This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how
many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.
They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in
oom conditions.
This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it
does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the
operation is atomic.

* ima-memory-use-fixes:
IMA: fix the ToMToU logic
IMA: explicit IMA i_flag to remove global lock on inode_delete
IMA: drop refcnt from ima_iint_cache since it isn't needed
IMA: only allocate iint when needed
IMA: move read counter into struct inode
IMA: use i_writecount rather than a private counter
IMA: use inode->i_lock to protect read and write counters
IMA: convert internal flags from long to char
IMA: use unsigned int instead of long for counters
IMA: drop the inode opencount since it isn't needed for operation
IMA: use rbtree instead of radix tree for inode information cache
IMA currently allocated an inode integrity structure for every inode in
core. This stucture is about 120 bytes long. Most files however
(especially on a system which doesn't make use of IMA) will never need
any of this space. The problem is that if IMA is enabled we need to
know information about the number of readers and the number of writers
for every inode on the box. At the moment we collect that information
in the per inode iint structure and waste the rest of the space. This
patch moves those counters into the struct inode so we can eventually
stop allocating an IMA integrity structure except when absolutely
needed.
This patch does the minimum needed to move the location of the data.
Further cleanups, especially the location of counter updates, may still
be possible.

(NFS: Allow NFSROOT debugging messages to be enabled dynamically)
Fix is to disable this code when RPC_DEBUG is disabled.

separate branches) in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
* 'nfs-for-2.6.37' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/nfs-2.6:
net/sunrpc: Use static const char arrays
nfs4: fix channel attribute sanity-checks
NFSv4.1: Use more sensible names for 'initialize_mountpoint'
NFSv4.1: pnfs: filelayout: add driver's LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO infrastructure
NFSv4.1: pnfs: add LAYOUTGET and GETDEVICEINFO infrastructure
NFS: client needs to maintain list of inodes with active layouts
NFS: create and destroy inode's layout cache
NFSv4.1: pnfs: filelayout: introduce minimal file layout driver
NFSv4.1: pnfs: full mount/umount infrastructure
NFS: set layout driver
NFS: ask for layouttypes during v4 fsinfo call
NFS: change stateid to be a union
NFSv4.1: pnfsd, pnfs: protocol level pnfs constants
SUNRPC: define xdr_decode_opaque_fixed
NFSD: remove duplicate NFS4_STATEID_SIZE
The sanity checks here are incorrect; in the worst case they allow
values that crash the client.
They're also over-reliant on the preprocessor.

Pull removal of fsnotify marks into generic_shutdown_super().
Split umount-time work into a new function - evict_inodes().
Make sure that invalidate_inodes() will be able to cope with
I_FREEING once we change locking in iput().

Skip I_FREEING inodes just like I_WILL_FREE and I_NEW when walking the
writeback lists. Currenly this can't happen, but once we move from
inode_lock to more fine grained locking we can have an inode that's
still on the writeback lists but has I_FREEING set, and we absolutely
need to skip it here, just like we do for all other inode list walks.
Based on a patch from Dave Chinner.

Despite the comment above it we can not safely drop the lock here.
invalidate_list is called from many other places that just umount.
Also switch to proper list macros now that we never drop the lock.

The use of the same inode list structure (inode->i_list) for two
different list constructs with different lifecycles and purposes
makes it impossible to separate the locking of the different
operations. Therefore, to enable the separation of the locking of
the writeback and reclaim lists, split the inode->i_list into two
separate lists dedicated to their specific tracking functions.

bdev inodes can remain dirty even after their last close. Hence the
BDI associated with the bdev->inode gets modified duringthe last
close to point to the default BDI. However, the bdev inode still
needs to be moved to the dirty lists of the new BDI, otherwise it
will corrupt the writeback list is was left on.
Add a new function bdev_inode_switch_bdi() to move all the bdi state
from the old bdi to the new one safely. This is only a temporary
measure until the bdev inode<->bdi lifecycle problems are sorted
out.

We must not call invalidate_inode_buffers in invalidate_list unless the
inode can be reclaimed. If we remove the buffer association of a busy
inode fsync won't find the buffers anymore. As invalidate_inode_buffers
is called from various others sources than umount this actually does
matter in practice.
While at it change the loop to a more natural form and remove the
WARN_ON for I_NEW, wich we already tested a few lines above.

Use dget_parent instead of opencoding it. This simplifies the code, but
more importanly prepares for the more complicated locking for a parent
dget in the dcache scale patch series.
It means we do grab a reference to the parent now if need to be watched,
but not with the specified mask. If this turns out to be a problem
we'll have to revisit it, but for now let's keep as much as possible
dcache internals inside dcache.[ch].

Note that the d_time assignment in smb_renew_times moves out of d_lock,
but it's a single atomic 32-bit value, and that's what other sites
setting it do already.
