Jeremy Eder d67ef35fff clarify documentation for net.ipv4.igmp_max_memberships
This patch helps clarify documentation for
net.ipv4.igmp_max_memberships by providing a formula for
calculating the maximum number of multicast groups that can be
subscribed to, plus defining the theoretical limit.

Johannes Berg 5ada28bf76 led-class: always implement blinking
Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that
all LEDs implement blinking.  The trigger that wants it to blink then
needs to implement its own timer solution.

Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use.
This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails
implements a timer for it.  To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also
needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink.

As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and
hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's
always easy to use.

Dan Rosenberg eaf06b241b Restrict unprivileged access to kernel syslog
The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful
during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap
addresses.  Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or
thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful
debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that
prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog.

This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the
dmesg_restrict sysctl.  When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are
enforced.  When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the
kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.

Add support for the IT8721F/IT8758E. These new chips differ from the
older IT87xxF chips in the following ways:
* ADC LSB is 12 mV instead of 16 mV.
* PWM values are 8-bit instead of 7-bit.
There are other minor changes we don't have to care about in the
driver.

Another change is that we will handle internal voltage scaling in the
driver instead of delegating the work to user-space.

Lukas Czerner bfff68738f ext4: add support for lazy inode table initialization
When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it
considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are
not zeroed out.  The fact that parts of the inode table are
uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors,
which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has
been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group
checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and
the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to
report false problems.

Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon
as possble.  This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely
use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting
file systems.

This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is
created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed.  There
is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the
first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit
thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the
request list.

This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up
scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule
time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to
zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with
the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10).  We are doing
this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no
longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate
structures and exits (and can be created later later by another
filesystem).

We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not
care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we
have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode
allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we
take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem
in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the
group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait.

This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable.

Mel Gorman db9e5679d6 delay-accounting: reimplement -c for getdelays.c to report information on a target command
Task delay-accounting was identified as one means of determining how long
a process spends in congestion_wait() without adding new statistics.  For
example, if the workload should not be doing IO, delay-accounting could
reveal how long it was spending in unexpected IO or delays.
Unfortunately, on closer examination it was clear that getdelays does not
act as documented.

Commit a3baf649 ("per-task-delay-accounting: documentation") added
Documentation/accounting/getdelays.c with a -c switch that was documented
to fork/exec a child and report statistics on it but for reasons that are
unclear to me, commit 9e06d3f9 deleted support for this switch but did not
update the documentation.  It might be an oversight or it might be because
the control flow of the program meant that accounting information would be
printed once early in the lifetime of the program making it of limited
use.

This patch reimplements -c for getdelays.c to act as documented.  Unlike
the original version, it waits until the command completes before printing
any information on it.  An example of it being used looks like

$ ./getdelays -d -c find /home/mel -name mel
print delayacct stats ON

Export the number of anonymous pages in a mapping via smaps.

Even the private pages in a mapping backed by a file, would be marked as
anonymous, when they are modified. Export this information to user-space via
smaps.

Exporting this count will help gdb to make a better decision on which
areas need to be dumped in its coredump; and should be useful to others
studying the memory usage of a process.

ns_cgroup is deprecated.

Make ns_cgroup and clone_children exclusive.  If the clone_children is set
and the ns_cgroup is mounted, let's fail with EINVAL when the ns_cgroup
subsys is created (a printk will help the user to understand why the
creation fails).

Daniel Lezcano 97978e6d1f cgroup: add clone_children control file
The ns_cgroup is a control group interacting with the namespaces.  When a
new namespace is created, a corresponding cgroup is automatically created
too.  The cgroup name is the pid of the process who did 'unshare' or the
child of 'clone'.

This cgroup is tied with the namespace because it prevents a process to
escape the control group and use the post_clone callback, so the child
cgroup inherits the values of the parent cgroup.

Unfortunately, the more we use this cgroup and the more we are facing
problems with it:

(1) when a process unshares, the cgroup name may conflict with a
    previous cgroup with the same pid, so unshare or clone return -EEXIST

(2) the cgroup creation is out of control because there may have an
    application creating several namespaces where the system will
    automatically create several cgroups in his back and let them on the
    cgroupfs (eg.  a vrf based on the network namespace).

(3) the mix of (1) and (2) force an administrator to regularly check
    and clean these cgroups.

This patchset removes the ns_cgroup by adding a new flag to the cgroup and
the cgroupfs mount option.  It enables the copy of the parent cgroup when
a child cgroup is created.  We can then safely remove the ns_cgroup as
this flag brings a compatibility.  We have now to manually create and add
the task to a cgroup, which is consistent with the cgroup framework.

This patch:

Sent as an answer to a previous thread around the ns_cgroup.

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018627.html

It adds a control file 'clone_children' for a cgroup.  This control file
is a boolean specifying if the child cgroup should be a clone of the
parent cgroup or not.  The default value is 'false'.

This flag makes the child cgroup to call the post_clone callback of all
the subsystem, if it is available.

At present, the cpuset is the only one which had implemented the
post_clone callback.

The option can be set at mount time by specifying the 'clone_children'
mount option.

Andrea Righi abffc0207f doc: clarify the behaviour of dirty_ratio/dirty_bytes
When dirty_ratio or dirty_bytes is written the other parameter is disabled
and set to 0 (in dirty_bytes_handler() / dirty_ratio_handler()).

We do the same for dirty_background_ratio and dirty_background_bytes.

However, in the sysctl documentation, we say that the counterpart becomes
a function of the old value, that is not correct.

Clarify the documentation reporting the actual behaviour.
