Eric W. Biederman 431f19744d userns: Convert quota netlink aka quota_send_warning
Modify quota_send_warning to take struct kqid instead a type and
identifier pair.

When sending netlink broadcasts always convert uids and quota
identifiers into the intial user namespace.  There is as yet no way to
send a netlink broadcast message with different contents to receivers
in different namespaces, so for the time being just map all of the
identifiers into the initial user namespace which preserves the
current behavior.

Change the callers of quota_send_warning in gfs2, xfs and dquot
to generate a struct kqid to pass to quota send warning.  When
all of the user namespaces convesions are complete a struct kqid
values will be availbe without need for conversion, but a conversion
is needed now to avoid needing to convert everything at once.

Eric W. Biederman 74a8a10378 userns: Convert qutoactl
Update the quotactl user space interface to successfull compile with
user namespaces support enabled and to hand off quota identifiers to
lower layers of the kernel in struct kqid instead of type and qid
pairs.

The quota on function is not converted because while it takes a quota
type and an id.  The id is the on disk quota format to use, which
is something completely different.

The signature of two struct quotactl_ops methods were changed to take
struct kqid argumetns get_dqblk and set_dqblk.

The dquot, xfs, and ocfs2 implementations of get_dqblk and set_dqblk
are minimally changed so that the code continues to work with
the change in parameter type.

This is the first in a series of changes to always store quota
identifiers in the kernel in struct kqid and only use raw type and qid
values when interacting with on disk structures or userspace.  Always
using struct kqid internally makes it hard to miss places that need
conversion to or from the kernel internal values.

The net result is that the audit subsystem now uses kuid_t and kgid_t whenever
possible making it almost impossible to confuse a raw uid_t with a kuid_t
preventing bugs.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 45f035ab9b CONFIG_HOTPLUG should be always on
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is a very old option, back when we had static systems and it was
odd that any type of device would be removed or added after the system had
started up.  It is quite hard to disable it these days, and even if you do, it
only saves you about 200 bytes.  However, if it is disabled, lots of bugs show
up because it is almost never tested if the option is disabled.

This is a step to eventually just remove the option entirely, which will clean
up all of the devinit* variable and function pointer options, that everyone
(myself include) ends up getting wrong eventually, causing real problems when
memory segments are removed yet we don't expect them to be.

Eric W. Biederman a6c6796c71 userns: Convert cls_flow to work with user namespaces enabled
The flow classifier can use uids and gids of the sockets that
are transmitting packets and do insert those uids and gids
into the packet classification calcuation.  I don't fully
understand the details but it appears that we can depend
on specific uids and gids when making traffic classification
decisions.

To work with user namespaces enabled map from kuids and kgids
into uids and gids in the initial user namespace giving raw
integer values the code can play with and depend on.

To avoid issues of userspace depending on uids and gids in
packet classifiers installed from other user namespaces
and getting confused deny all packet classifiers that
use uids or gids that are not comming from a netlink socket
in the initial user namespace.

At logging instance creation capture the peer netlink socket's user
namespace. Use the captured peer user namespace when reporting socket
uids to the peer.

The peer socket's user namespace is guaranateed to be valid until the user
closes the netlink socket.  nfnetlink_log removes instances during the final
close of a socket.  __build_packet_message does not get called after an
instance is destroyed.   Therefore it is safe to let the peer netlink socket
take care of the user namespace reference counting for us.

Eric W. Biederman 4f82f45730 net ip6 flowlabel: Make owner a union of struct pid * and kuid_t
Correct a long standing omission and use struct pid in the owner
field of struct ip6_flowlabel when the share type is IPV6_FL_S_PROCESS.
This guarantees we don't have issues when pid wraparound occurs.

Use a kuid_t in the owner field of struct ip6_flowlabel when the
share type is IPV6_FL_S_USER to add user namespace support.

In /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel capture the current pid namespace when
opening the file and release the pid namespace when the file is
closed ensuring we print the pid owner value that is meaning to
the reader of the file.  Similarly use from_kuid_munged to print
uid values that are meaningful to the reader of the file.

This requires exporting pid_nr_ns so that ipv6 can continue to built
as a module.  Yoiks what silliness

Aneesh Kumar K.V 2bc64a2046 mm/hugetlb: add new HugeTLB cgroup
Implement a new controller that allows us to control HugeTLB allocations.
The extension allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and
enforces the controller limit during page fault.  Since HugeTLB doesn't
support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that,
the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages
beyond its limit.  This requires the application to know beforehand how
much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use.

The charge/uncharge calls will be added to HugeTLB code in later patch.
Support for cgroup removal will be added in later patches.

Linus Torvalds 644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

 "The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
  exception table, to speed up booting.  This is achieved by the
  architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT.  This option is enabled
  for x86 and MIPS currently.

  On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
  sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
  exception table format was needed.  This required the abstracting out
  of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
  assumptions about the x86 exception table format.

  While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
  exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
  rdmsr_safe() et al.

  All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is
  now pretty nice and modern.  As an added bonus any regressions in this

  you'll know whom to blame!"

Linus Torvalds 2ff2b289a6 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of changes:

   - (much) improved assembly annotation support in perf report, with
     jump visualization, searching, navigation, visual output
     improvements and more.

    - kernel support for AMD IBS PMU hardware features.  Notably 'perf
      record -e cycles:p' and 'perf top -e cycles:p' should work without
      skid now, like PEBS does on the Intel side, because it takes
      advantage of IBS transparently.

    - the libtracevents library: it is the first step towards unifying
      tracing tooling and perf, and it also gives a tracing library for
      external tools like powertop to rely on.

    - infrastructure: various improvements and refactoring of the UI
      modules and related code

    - infrastructure: cleanup and simplification of the profiling
      targets code (--uid, --pid, --tid, --cpu, --all-cpus, etc.)

    - tons of robustness fixes all around

    - various ftrace updates: speedups, cleanups, robustness
      improvements.

    - typing 'make' in tools/ will now give you a menu of projects to
      build and a short help text to explain what each does.

    - ... and lots of other changes I forgot to list.

  The perf record make bzImage + perf report regression you reported
  should be fixed."

Thomas Gleixner 764e0da14f timers: Fixup the Kconfig consolidation fallout
Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually
include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we
broke them.

Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the
include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others.

This does not change anything for the architectures using the old
style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there.

For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it
moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is
a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified
by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

Add a new internal Kconfig option UIDGID_CONVERTED that is true when the selected
Kconfig options have been converted to be user namespace safe, and guard
USER_NS and guard the UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECK options with it.

This keeps innocent kernel users from having the choice to enable
the user namespace in the cases where it is known not to work.

Most of the rest of the conversions are simple and straight forward but
their sheer number means it is good not to count on having them all done

Paul E. McKenney 8932a63d5e rcu: Reduce cache-miss initialization latencies for large systems
Commit #0209f649 (rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout) set an upper
limit of 16 on the leaf-level fanout for the rcu_node tree.  This was
needed to reduce lock contention that was induced by the synchronization
of scheduling-clock interrupts, which was in turn needed to improve
energy efficiency for moderate-sized lightly loaded servers.

However, reducing the leaf-level fanout means that there are more
leaf-level rcu_node structures in the tree, which in turn means that
RCU's grace-period initialization incurs more cache misses.  This is
not a problem on moderate-sized servers with only a few tens of CPUs,
but becomes a major source of real-time latency spikes on systems with
many hundreds of CPUs.  In addition, the workloads running on these large
systems tend to be CPU-bound, which eliminates the energy-efficiency
advantages of synchronizing scheduling-clock interrupts.  Therefore,
these systems need maximal values for the rcu_node leaf-level fanout.

This commit addresses this problem by introducing a new kernel parameter
named RCU_FANOUT_LEAF that directly controls the leaf-level fanout.
This parameter defaults to 16 to handle the common case of a moderate
sized lightly loaded servers, but may be set higher on larger systems.

Tejun Heo 32e380aedc blkcg: make CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP bool
Block cgroup core can be built as module; however, it isn't too useful
as blk-throttle can only be built-in and cfq-iosched is usually the
default built-in scheduler.  Scheduled blkcg cleanup requires calling
into blkcg from block core.  To simplify that, disallow building blkcg
as module by making CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP bool.

If building blkcg core as module really matters, which I doubt, we can
revisit it after blkcg API cleanup.

     depend on BLK_CGROUP.  Fixed.

Nathaniel Husted 29ef73b7a8 Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM Platform
This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the
ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the
MIPS platform and information in this
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html)
mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and
audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard
registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information
flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was
added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall
entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is
set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes
were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled.

Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested
on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29"
kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's
cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The
changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications,
the patch is "obviously correct".

Eric Paris 633b454545 audit: only allow tasks to set their loginuid if it is -1
At the moment we allow tasks to set their loginuid if they have
CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL.  In reality we want tasks to set the loginuid when they
log in and it be impossible to ever reset.  We had to make it mutable even
after it was once set (with the CAP) because on update and admin might have
to restart sshd.  Now sshd would get his loginuid and the next user which
logged in using ssh would not be able to set his loginuid.

Systemd has changed how userspace works and allowed us to make the kernel
work the way it should.  With systemd users (even admins) are not supposed
to restart services directly.  The system will restart the service for
them.  Thus since systemd is going to loginuid==-1, sshd would get -1, and
sshd would be allowed to set a new loginuid without special permissions.

If an admin in this system were to manually start an sshd he is inserting
himself into the system chain of trust and thus, logically, it's his
loginuid that should be used!  Since we have old systems I make this a
Kconfig option.

Paul E. McKenney 8008e129dc rcu: Drive configuration directly from SMP and PREEMPT
This commit eliminates the possibility of running TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
when SMP=n and of running TINY_RCU when PREEMPT=y.  People who really
want these combinations can hand-edit init/Kconfig, but eliminating
them as choices for production systems reduces the amount of testing
required.  It will also allow cutting out a few #ifdefs.

Note that running TREE_RCU and TINY_RCU on single-CPU systems using
SMP-built kernels is still supported.

Paul Turner ab84d31e15 sched: Introduce primitives to account for CFS bandwidth tracking
In this patch we introduce the notion of CFS bandwidth, partitioned into
globally unassigned bandwidth, and locally claimed bandwidth.

 - The global bandwidth is per task_group, it represents a pool of unclaimed
   bandwidth that cfs_rqs can allocate from.
 - The local bandwidth is tracked per-cfs_rq, this represents allotments from
   the global pool bandwidth assigned to a specific cpu.

Bandwidth is managed via cgroupfs, adding two new interfaces to the cpu subsystem:
 - cpu.cfs_period_us : the bandwidth period in usecs
 - cpu.cfs_quota_us : the cpu bandwidth (in usecs) that this tg will be allowed
   to consume over period above.

Josh Triplett d2c3225879 gcov: disable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS when not needed by CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS controls support for running constructor functions at
kernel init time.  According to commit b99b87f70c ("kernel:
constructor support"), gcov (CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL) needs this.  However,
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS currently defaults to y, with no option to disable it,
and CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL depends on it.  Instead, default it to n and have
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL select it, so that the normal case of
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=n will result in CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=n.

Observed in the short list of =y values in a minimal kernel configuration.

Josh Triplett bd5dc17be8 uts: make default hostname configurable, rather than always using "(none)"
The "hostname" tool falls back to setting the hostname to "localhost" if
/etc/hostname does not exist.  Distribution init scripts have the same
fallback.  However, if userspace never calls sethostname, such as when
booting with init=/bin/sh, or otherwise booting a minimal system without
the usual init scripts, the default hostname of "(none)" remains,
unhelpfully appearing in various places such as prompts ("root@(none):~#")
and logs.  Furthermore, "(none)" doesn't typically resolve to anything
useful.

Make the default hostname configurable.  This removes the need for the
standard fallback, provides a useful default for systems that never call
sethostname, and makes minimal systems that much more useful with less
configuration.  Distributions could choose to use "localhost" here to
avoid the fallback, while embedded systems may wish to use a specific
target hostname.

Several debugging options currently default to y, such as
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.  Embedded users
might want to turn those options off to save space; however,
turning them off requires turning on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL to
unhide them.  Since CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL exists specifically to
unhide debugging options, and CONFIG_EXPERT exists specifically
to unhide options potentially needed by experts and/or embedded
users, make CONFIG_EXPERT automatically imply
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.

Daniel Lezcano a77aea9201 cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup
The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
    namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
  * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

  The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
  where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
  The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
  the 'tasks' file.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change.  Commit 45531757b4 ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.  Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

Linus Torvalds 281dc5c5ec Give up on pushing CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
I still happen to believe that I$ miss costs are a major thing, but
sadly, -Os doesn't seem to be the solution.  With or without it, gcc
will miss some obvious code size improvements, and with it enabled gcc
will sometimes make choices that aren't good even with high I$ miss
ratios.

For example, with -Os, gcc on x86 will turn a 20-byte constant memcpy
into a "rep movsl".  While I sincerely hope that x86 CPU's will some day
do a good job at that, they certainly don't do it yet, and the cost is
higher than a L1 I$ miss would be.

Some day I hope we can re-enable this.

David Rientjes 21a43e397e slub: Revert "[PARISC] slub: fix panic with DISCONTIGMEM"
This reverts commit 4a5fa3590f, which did not allow SLUB to be used
on architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without compiling NUMA support
without CONFIG_BROKEN also set.

The slub panic that it was intended to prevent is addressed by
d9b41e0b54 ("[PARISC] set memory ranges in N_NORMAL_MEMORY when
onlined") on parisc so there is no further slub issues with such a
configuration.

The reverts allows SLUB now to be used on such architectures since
there haven't been any reports of additional errors.

(defaulting to real-time priority 1) and the time to wait before
boosting the readers who are blocking a given grace period is
controlled by the RCU_BOOST_DELAY kernel parameter (defaulting to
500 milliseconds).

James Bottomley 4a5fa3590f [PARISC] slub: fix panic with DISCONTIGMEM
Slub makes assumptions about page_to_nid() which are violated by
DISCONTIGMEM and !NUMA.  This violation results in a panic because
page_to_nid() can be non-zero for pages in the discontiguous ranges and
this leads to a null return by get_node().  The assertion by the
maintainer is that DISCONTIGMEM should only be allowed when NUMA is also
defined.  However, at least six architectures: alpha, ia64, m32r, m68k,
mips, parisc violate this.  The panic is a regression against slab, so
just mark slub broken in the problem configuration to prevent users
reporting these panics.

Artem Bityutskiy 1e2795a119 kbuild: move KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS from Kconfig to Makefile
At the moment we have the CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS Kconfig switch,
which users can enable or disable while configuring the kernel. This
option is then used by 'make' to determine whether an extra kallsyms
pass is needed or not.

However, this approach is not nice and confusing, and this patch moves
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS from Kconfig to Makefile instead. The
rationale is below.

1. CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is really about the build time, not
   run-time. There is no real need for it to be in Kconfig. It is
   just an additional work-around which should be used only in rare
   cases, when someone breaks kallsyms, so Kbuild/Makefile is much
   better place for this option.
2. Grepping CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS shows that many defconfigs have
   it enabled, probably not because they try to work-around a kallsyms
   bug, but just because the Kconfig help text is confusing and does
   not really make it clear that this option should not be used unless
   except when kallsyms is broken.
3. And since many people have CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS enabled in
   their Kconfig, we do might fail to notice kallsyms bugs in time. E.g.,
   many testers use "make allyesconfig" to test builds, which will enable
   CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS and kallsyms breakage will not be noticed.

To address that, this patch:

1. Kills CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS
2. Changes Makefile so that people can use "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1"
   to enable the extra pass if needed. Additionally, they may define
   KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS as an environment variable.
3. By default KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is disabled and if kallsyms has issues,
   "make" should print a warning and suggest using KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS

Artem Bityutskiy 71a83ec7da Kconfig: improve KALLSYMS_ALL documentation
Dumb users like myself are not able to grasp from the existing KALLSYMS_ALL
documentation that this option is not what they need. Improve the help
message and make it clearer that KALLSYMS is enough in the majority of
use cases, and KALLSYMS_ALL should really be used very rarely.

Peter Zijlstra 317f394160 sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu
Now that we've removed the rq->lock requirement from the first part of
ttwu() and can compute placement without holding any rq->lock, ensure
we execute the second half of ttwu() on the actual cpu we want the
task to run on.

This avoids having to take rq->lock and doing the task enqueue
remotely, saving lots on cacheline transfers.

Stephane Eranian e5d1367f17 perf: Add cgroup support
This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.

The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.

For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:

struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;

cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);
close(cgroup_fd);

David Rientjes 6a108a14fa kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Because the adaptive synchronize_srcu_expedited() approach has
worked very well in testing, remove the kernel parameter and
replace it by a C-preprocessor macro.  If someone finds problems
with this approach, a more complex and aggressively adaptive
approach might be required.

Longer term, SRCU will be merged with the other RCU implementations,
at which point synchronize_srcu_expedited() will be event driven,
just as synchronize_sched_expedited() currently is.  At that point,
there will be no need for this adaptive approach.

Lasse Collin 3ebe12439b decompressors: add boot-time XZ support
This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.  This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.

The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).

The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments.  I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.

Mike Galbraith 5091faa449 sched: Add 'autogroup' scheduling feature: automated per session task groups
A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
a negative impact on desktop interactivity.  This patch
implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
groups.  Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.

Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
init_task_group.  When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
reference to the preveious task group is dropped.  Child
processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
refcount.  When the last thread of a process exits, the
process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.

At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
its current autogroup is used.

Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
through the proc filesystem:

  cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup

Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.

  echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup

Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task.
Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
abuse risk of task group locking.

The feature is enabled from boot by default if
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
the fly via:

  echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled

... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.

Paul E. McKenney 46fdb0937f rcu: Make synchronize_srcu_expedited() fast if running readers
The synchronize_srcu_expedited() function is currently quick if there
are no active readers, but will delay a full jiffy if there are any.
If these readers leave their SRCU read-side critical sections quickly,
this is way too long to wait.  So this commit first waits ten microseconds,
and only then falls back to jiffy-at-a-time waiting.

Michal Hocko a42c390cfa cgroups: make swap accounting default behavior configurable
Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP
configuration option and then it is turned on by default.  There is a boot
option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature.

This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as
this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for
general purpose distribution kernel.  On the other hand swap accounting
may be very usuful for some workloads.

This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default
behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED).  If the option is selected
then the feature is turned on by default.

It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the
original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic
(defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with
noswapaccount).

The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is
enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well)

Andi Kleen e52eec13cd SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are
making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another
directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them.

This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option
that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way
the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option
on the command line.

The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set
the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing
config files.

Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes
care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code
look nicer.

v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only
handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems
and that seems to work.

Arnd Bergmann 6de5bd128d BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL.
With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a
few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even
there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do
about them, this patch illustrates one of the options:

Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig,
and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets
disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL
code itself is compiled out.

The one exception is file locking, which is practically always
enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces
CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd
mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c.

Peter Zijlstra e360adbe29 irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks
Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.

Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.

The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.

Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

Paul E. McKenney a57eb940d1 rcu: Add a TINY_PREEMPT_RCU
Implement a small-memory-footprint uniprocessor-only implementation of
preemptible RCU.  This implementation uses but a single blocked-tasks
list rather than the combinatorial number used per leaf rcu_node by
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which reduces memory consumption and greatly simplifies
processing.  This version also takes advantage of uniprocessor execution
to accelerate grace periods in the case where there are no readers.

The general design is otherwise broadly similar to that of TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.

This implementation is a step towards having RCU implementation driven
off of the SMP and PREEMPT kernel configuration variables, which can
happen once this implementation has accumulated sufficient experience.

Removed ACCESS_ONCE() from __rcu_read_unlock() and added barrier() as
suggested by Steve Rostedt in order to avoid the compiler-reordering
issue noted by Mathieu Desnoyers (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/16/183).

As can be seen below, CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU represents almost 5Kbyte
savings compared to CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.  Of course, for non-real-time
workloads, CONFIG_TINY_RCU is even better.

Paul E. McKenney 4d87ffadbb rcu: Fix RCU_FANOUT help message
Commit cf244dc01b added a fourth level to the TREE_RCU hierarchy,
but the RCU_FANOUT help message still said "cube root".  This commit
fixes this to "fourth root" and also emphasizes that production
systems are well-served by the default.  (Stress-testing RCU itself
uses small RCU_FANOUT values in order to test large-system code paths
on small(er) systems.)

Paul E. McKenney 687d7a960a rcu: restrict TREE_RCU to SMP builds with !PREEMPT
Because both TINY_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU have been in mainline for
several releases, it is time to restrict the use of TREE_RCU to SMP
non-preemptible systems.  This reduces testing/validation effort.  This
commit is a first step towards driving the selection of RCU implementation
directly off of the SMP and PREEMPT configuration parameters.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 65e0e81166 memcg: remove experimental from swap account config
It's 11 months since we changed swap_map[] to indicates SWAP_HAS_CACHE.
Since that, memcg's swap accounting has been very stable and it seems
it can be maintained.

So, I'd like to remove EXPERIMENTAL from the config.

Audit watch should depend on CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL and should select
FSNOTIFY.  This splits the spagetti like mixing of audit_watch and

Vivek Goyal afc24d49c1 blk-cgroup: config options re-arrangement
This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues.

o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from
  "Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception.
  Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from
  there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers.

o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED.

  This option currently does two things.

  - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace
  - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat
    files in cgroup.

  If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use
  if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to
  also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of
  all the additional debug stat files which is not desired.

  Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under
  CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

  This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all
  the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which
  can be enabled through config menu.

Kirill A. Shutemov 0dea116876 cgroup: implement eventfd-based generic API for notifications
This patchset introduces eventfd-based API for notifications in cgroups
and implements memory notifications on top of it.

It uses statistics in memory controler to track memory usage.

Output of time(1) on building kernel on tmpfs:

Root cgroup before changes:
	make -j2  506.37 user 60.93s system 193% cpu 4:52.77 total
Non-root cgroup before changes:
	make -j2  507.14 user 62.66s system 193% cpu 4:54.74 total
Root cgroup after changes (0 thresholds):
	make -j2  507.13 user 62.20s system 193% cpu 4:53.55 total
Non-root cgroup after changes (0 thresholds):
	make -j2  507.70 user 64.20s system 193% cpu 4:55.70 total
Root cgroup after changes (1 thresholds, never crossed):
	make -j2  506.97 user 62.20s system 193% cpu 4:53.90 total
Non-root cgroup after changes (1 thresholds, never crossed):
	make -j2  507.55 user 64.08s system 193% cpu 4:55.63 total

This patch:

Introduce the write-only file "cgroup.event_control" in every cgroup.

To register new notification handler you need:
- create an eventfd;
- open a control file to be monitored. Callbacks register_event() and
  unregister_event() must be defined for the control file;
- write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
  Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;

eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the
cgroup is removed.

To unregister notification handler just close eventfd.

If you need notification functionality for a control file you have to
implement callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() in the
struct cftype.
