Ingo Molnar 3f07c01441 sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to <linux/sched/signal.h>
We are going to split <linux/sched/signal.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/signal.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Oleg Nesterov 9a13049e83 signal: introduce kernel_signal_stop() to fix jffs2_garbage_collect_thread()
jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() can race with SIGCONT and sleep in
TASK_STOPPED state after it was already sent. Add the new helper,
kernel_signal_stop(), which does this correctly.

Oleg Nesterov be0e6f290f signal: turn dequeue_signal_lock() into kernel_dequeue_signal()
1. Rename dequeue_signal_lock() to kernel_dequeue_signal(). This
   matches another "for kthreads only" kernel_sigaction() helper.

2. Remove the "tsk" and "mask" arguments, they are always current
   and current->blocked. And it is simply wrong if tsk != current.

3. We could also remove the 3rd "siginfo_t *info" arg but it looks
   potentially useful. However we can simplify the callers if we
   change kernel_dequeue_signal() to accept info => NULL.

4. Remove _irqsave, it is never called from atomic context.

Oleg Nesterov c240837fa7 signals: jffs2: fix the wrong usage of disallow_signal()
jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() does disallow_signal(SIGHUP) around
jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() and the comment says "We don't want SIGHUP
to interrupt us".

But disallow_signal() can't ensure that jffs2_garbage_collect_pass()
won't be interrupted by SIGHUP, the problem is that SIGHUP can be
already pending when disallow_signal() is called, and in this case any
interruptible sleep won't block.

Note: this is in fact because disallow_signal() is buggy and should be
fixed, see the next changes.

But there is another reason why disallow_signal() is wrong: SIG_IGN set
by disallow_signal() silently discards any SIGHUP which can be sent
before the next allow_signal(SIGHUP).

Change this code to use sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK/SIG_BLOCK, SIGHUP).
This even matches the old (and wrong) semantics allow/disallow had when
this logic was written.

Andres Salomon efab0b5d3e [JFFS2] force the jffs2 GC daemon to behave a bit better
I've noticed some pretty poor behavior on OLPC machines after bootup, when
gdm/X are starting.  The GCD monopolizes the scheduler (which in turns
means it gets to do more nand i/o), which results in processes taking much
much longer than they should to start.

As an example, on an OLPC machine going from OFW to a usable X (via
auto-login gdm) takes 2m 30s.  The majority of this time is consumed by
the switch into graphical mode.  With this patch, we cut a full 60s off of
bootup time.  After bootup, things are much snappier as well.

Note that we have seen a CRC node error with this patch that causes the machine
to fail to boot, but we've also seen that problem without this patch.

Rafael J. Wysocki 8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting
Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke
that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright
assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on
the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason.

We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception
licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody
has the right to license it differently.

David Woodhouse f8a922c7bb [JFFS2] Use yield() between GC passes in background thread.
The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it
does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in
userspace trying to access the file system.

Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot
when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going
to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of
node coverage twice for the same inode.

By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we
observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to
60.

Tim Schmielau 4e57b68178 [PATCH] fix missing includes
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.
