... and don't bother in callers.  Don't bother with zeroing i_blocks,
while we are at it - it's already been zeroed.

i_mode is not worth the effort; it has no common default value.

Heiko Carstens 9e01892c42 module: convert to stop_machine_create/destroy.
The module code relies on a non-failing stop_machine call. So we create
the kstop threads in advance and with that make sure the call won't fail.

Heiko Carstens 9ea09af3bd stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy.
Introduce stop_machine_create/destroy. With this interface subsystems
that need a non-failing stop_machine environment can create the
stop_machine machine threads before actually calling stop_machine.
When the threads aren't needed anymore they can be killed with
stop_machine_destroy again.

When stop_machine gets called and the threads aren't present they
will be created and destroyed automatically. This restores the old
behaviour of stop_machine.

This patch also converts cpu hotplug to the new interface since it
is special: cpu_down calls __stop_machine instead of stop_machine.
However the kstop threads will only be created when stop_machine
gets called.

Changing the code so that the threads would be created automatically
on __stop_machine is currently not possible: when __stop_machine gets
called we hold cpu_add_remove_lock, which is the same lock that
create_rt_workqueue would take. So the workqueue needs to be created
before the cpu hotplug code locks cpu_add_remove_lock.

When creating the final layout of a kernel module in memory, allow the
module loader to reserve some additional memory in front of a given section.
This is currently only needed for the parisc port which needs to put the

Tim Abbott ca4787b779 kernel/module.c: compare symbol values when marking symbols as exported in /proc/kallsyms.
When there are two symbols in a module with the same name, one of which is
exported, both will be marked as exported in /proc/kallsyms.  There aren't
any instances of this in the current kernel, but it is easy to construct a
simple module with two compilation units that exhibits the problem.

$ objdump -j .text -t testmod.ko | grep foo
00000000 l     F .text	00000032 foo
00000080 g     F .text	00000001 foo
$ sudo insmod testmod.ko
$ grep "T foo" /proc/kallsyms
c28e8000 T foo	[testmod]
c28e8080 T foo	[testmod]

Fix this by comparing the symbol values once we've found the exported
symbol table entry matching the symbol name.  Tested using Ksplice:

$ ksplice-create --patch=this_commit.patch --id=bar .
$ sudo ksplice-apply ksplice-bar.tar.gz
Done!
$ grep "T foo" /proc/kallsyms
c28e8080 T foo	[testmod]

Problem: ordering between the rules on exit chain is currently lost;
all watch and inode rules are listed after everything else _and_
exit,never on one kind doesn't stop exit,always on another from
being matched.

Solution: assign priorities to rules, keep track of the current
highest-priority matching rule and its result (always/never).

Mike Travis 6ca09dfc9f sched: put back some stack hog changes that were undone in kernel/sched.c
Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines.

Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using
node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and
causes a panic due to stack overflow.  This patch undoes those changes
by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'.

In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further
reducing stack usage.  (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!)

Also:
   Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to
   the new 'struct cpumask *' functions.

   Optimize memory traffic by allocating each percpu local_cpu_mask on the
   same node as the referring cpu.

Rusty Russell bd232f97b3 cpumask: convert RCU implementations
Impact: use new cpumask API.

rcu_ctrlblk contains a cpumask, and it's highly optimized so I don't want
a cpumask_var_t (ie. a pointer) for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case.  It
could use a dangling bitmap, and be allocated in __rcu_init to save memory,
but for the moment we use a bitmap.

(Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK,
so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it).

We remove on-stack cpumasks, using cpumask_var_t for
rcu_torture_shuffle_tasks() and for_each_cpu_and in force_quiescent_state().

Rusty Russell a45185d2d7 cpumask: convert kernel/compat.c
Impact: Reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API.

Straightforward conversion; cpumasks' size is given by cpumask_size() (now
a variable rather than fixed) and on-stack cpu masks use cpumask_var_t.

Rusty Russell f1fc057c79 cpumask: remove any_online_cpu() users: kernel/
Impact: Remove obsolete API usage

any_online_cpu() is a good name, but it takes a cpumask_t, not a
pointer.

There are several places where any_online_cpu() doesn't really want a
mask arg at all.  Replace all callers with cpumask_any() and
cpumask_any_and().

Rusty Russell 4462344ee9 cpumask: convert kernel trace functions further
Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API.

Since the last patch was created and acked, more old cpumask users
slipped into kernel/trace.

Mostly trivial conversions, except struct trace_iterator's "started"
member becomes a cpumask_var_t.

Rusty Russell 9e01c1b74c cpumask: convert kernel trace functions
Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API.

(Eventually, cpumask_var_t will be allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, not NR_CPUS).

Convert kernel trace functions to use struct cpumask API:
1) Use cpumask_copy/cpumask_test_cpu/for_each_cpu.
2) Use cpumask_var_t and alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var everywhere.
3) Use on_each_cpu instead of playing with current->cpus_allowed.

Rusty Russell 4f4b6c1a94 cpumask: prepare for iterators to only go to nr_cpu_ids/nr_cpumask_bits.: core
Impact: cleanup

In future, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers < nr_cpu_ids.  So use that instead of NR_CPUS in iterators
and other comparisons.

This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

Martin Schwidefsky 79741dd357 [PATCH] idle cputime accounting
The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.

In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.

This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

Martin Schwidefsky 457533a7d3 [PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accounting
The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the
global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls
to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have
been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time
to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time
instead of the scaled user time.
To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges
account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and
account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.
