This is a rewrite of the ramdisk block device driver.
The old one is really difficult because it effectively implements a block
device which serves data out of its own buffer cache. It relies on the dirty
bit being set, to pin its backing store in cache, however there are non
trivial paths which can clear the dirty bit (eg. try_to_free_buffers()),
which had recently lead to data corruption. And in general it is completely
wrong for a block device driver to do this.
The new one is more like a regular block device driver. It has no idea about
vm/vfs stuff. It's backing store is similar to the buffer cache (a simple
radix-tree of pages), but it doesn't know anything about page cache (the pages
in the radix tree are not pagecache pages).
There is one slight downside -- direct block device access and filesystem
metadata access goes through an extra copy and gets stored in RAM twice.
However, this downside is only slight, because the real buffercache of the
device is now reclaimable (because we're not playing crazy games with it), so
under memory intensive situations, footprint should effectively be the same --
maybe even a slight advantage to the new driver because it can also reclaim
buffer heads.
The fact that it now goes through all the regular vm/fs paths makes it
much more useful for testing, too.

Text is larger, but data and bss are smaller, making total size smaller.
A few other nice things about it:
- Similar structure and layout to the new loop device handlinag.
- Dynamic ramdisk creation.
- Runtime flexible buffer head size (because it is no longer part of the
ramdisk code).
- Boot / load time flexible ramdisk size, which could easily be extended
to a per-ramdisk runtime changeable size (eg. with an ioctl).
- Can use highmem for the backing store.

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
To make this work, this patch also does the following:
(1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
(2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
core dumping code.
(3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This
is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch
code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
the core kernel.
(4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
needed) and FRV.
This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

pid_vnr returns the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace the
struct pid was allocated in. What we want before we return a pid to user
space is the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace of current.
pid_vnr is a very nice optimization but because it isn't quite what we want
it is easy to use pid_vnr at times when we aren't certain the struct pid
was allocated in our pid namespace.
Currently this describes at least tiocgpgrp and tiocgsid in ttyio.c the
parent process reported in the core dumps and the parent process in
get_signal_to_deliver.
So unless the performance impact is huge having an interface that does what
we want instead of always what we want should be much more reliable and
much less error prone.

This modifies do_wait and eligible child to take a pair of enum pid_type
and struct pid *pid to precisely specify what set of processes are eligible
to be waited for, instead of the raw pid_t value from sys_wait4.
This fixes a bug in sys_waitid where you could not wait for children in
just process group 1.
This fixes a pid namespace crossing case in eligible_child. Allowing us to
wait for a processes in our current process group even if our current
process group == 0.
This allows the no child with this pid case to be optimized. This allows
us to optimize the pid membership test in eligible child to be optimized.
This even closes a theoretical pid wraparound race where in a threaded
parent if two threads are waiting for the same child and one thread picks
up the child and the pid numbers wrap around and generate another child
with that same pid before the other thread is scheduled (teribly insanely
unlikely) we could end up waiting on the second child with the same pid#
and not discover that the specific child we were waiting for has exited.

The previous bugfix was not optimal, we shouldn't care about group stop
when we are the only thread or the group stop is in progress. In that case
nothing special is needed, just set PF_EXITING and return.
Also, take the related "TIF_SIGPENDING re-targeting" code from exit_notify().
So, from the performance POV the only difference is that we don't trust
!signal_pending() until we take ->siglock. But this in fact fixes another
___pure___ theoretical minor race. __group_complete_signal() finds the
task without PF_EXITING and chooses it as the target for signal_wake_up().
But nothing prevents this task from exiting in between without noticing the
pending signal and thus unpredictably delaying the actual delivery.

do_signal_stop() counts all sub-thread and sets ->group_stop_count
accordingly. Every thread should decrement ->group_stop_count and stop,
the last one should notify the parent.
However a sub-thread can exit before it notices the signal_pending(), or it
may be somewhere in do_exit() already. In that case the group stop never
finishes properly.
Note: this is a minimal fix, we can add some optimizations later. Say we
can return quickly if thread_group_empty(). Also, we can move some signal

Imho, the current usage of security_task_wait() is not logical.
Suppose we have the single child p, and security_task_wait(p) return
-EANY. In that case waitpid(-1) returns this error. Why? Isn't it
better to return ECHLD? We don't really have reapable children.
Now suppose that child was stolen by gdb. In that case we find this
child on ->ptrace_children and set flag = 1, but we don't check that the
child was denied. So, do_wait(..., WNOHANG) returns 0, this doesn't
match the behaviour above. Without WNOHANG do_wait() blocks only to
return the error later, when the child will be untraced. Inho, really
strange.
I think eligible_child() should return the error only if the child's pid
was requested explicitly, otherwise we should silently ignore the tasks
which were nacked by security_task_wait().

If the tracer is gone and we are not going to stop, ptrace_stop() sets

exit code before detaching. In that case get_signal_to_deliver() "resends"
the signal which was cancelled by the debugger. For example, it is
possible that a quick PTRACE_ATTACH + PTRACE_DETACH can leave the tracee in

Change the behaviour of ptrace_stop(). If the caller is ptrace notify(),
we should always clear ->exit_code. If the caller is

wait_task_stopped() has multiple races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL. tasklist_lock
does not pin the child in TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED stated, almost all info
reported (including exit_code) may be wrong.
In fact, the code under write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) is not safe. The child
may be PTRACE_DETACH'ed at this time by another subthread, in that case it is
possible we are no longer its ->parent.
Change wait_task_stopped() to take ->siglock before inspecting the task. This
guarantees that the child can't resume and (for example) clear its
->exit_code, so we don't need to use xchg(&p->exit_code) and re-check. The
only exception is ptrace_stop() which changes ->state and ->exit_code without
->siglock held during abort. But this can only happen if both the tracer and
the tracee are dying (coredump is in progress), we don't care.
With this patch wait_task_stopped() doesn't move the child to the end of
the ->parent list on success. This optimization could be restored, but
in that case we have to take write_lock(tasklist) and do some nasty
checks.
Also change the do_wait() since we don't return EAGAIN any longer.

If the tracer went away (may_ptrace_stop() failed), ptrace_stop() drops
tasklist and then changes the ->state from TASK_TRACED to TASK_RUNNING.
This can fool another tracer which attaches to us in between. Change the
->state under tasklist_lock to ensure that ptrace_check_attach() can't wrongly
succeed. Also, remove the unnecessary mb().

It is not possible to see the PT_PTRACED task without ->signal/sighand under
tasklist_lock, release_task() does ptrace_unlink() first. If the task was
already released before, ptrace_attach() can't succeed and set PT_PTRACED.
Remove this check.

Now that my_ptrace_child() is trivial we can use the "p->ptrace & PT_PTRACED"
inline and simplify the corresponding logic in do_wait: we can't find the
child in TASK_TRACED state without PT_PTRACED flag set, ptrace_untrace()
either sets TASK_STOPPED or wakes up the tracee.

Since the patch
"Fix ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme()/de_thread() race"
commit f5b40e363a
we set PT_ATTACHED and change child->parent "atomically" wrt task_list lock.
This means we can remove the checks like "PT_ATTACHED && ->parent != ptracer"
which were needed to catch the "ptrace attach is in progress" case. We can
also remove the flag itself since nobody else uses it.

sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns() are all called when an
ipc_namespace is released to free all ipcs of each type. But in fact, they
do the same thing: they loop around all ipcs to free them individually by
calling a specific routine.
This patch proposes to consolidate this by introducing a common function,
free_ipcs(), that do the job. The specific routine to call on each
individual ipcs is passed as parameter. For this, these ipc-specific
'free' routines are reworked to take a generic 'struct ipc_perm' as
parameter.

Each ipc_namespace contains a table of 3 pointers to struct ipc_ids (3 for
msg, sem and shm, structure used to store all ipcs) These 'struct ipc_ids'
are dynamically allocated for each icp_namespace as the ipc_namespace
itself (for the init namespace, they are initialized with pointers to
static variables instead)
It is so for historical reason: in fact, before the use of idr to store the
ipcs, the ipcs were stored in tables of variable length, depending of the
maximum number of ipc allowed. Now, these 'struct ipc_ids' have a fixed
size. As they are allocated in any cases for each new ipc_namespace, there
is no gain of memory in having them allocated separately of the struct
ipc_namespace.
This patch proposes to make this table static in the struct ipc_namespace.
Thus, we can allocate all in once and get rid of all the code needed to
allocate and free these ipc_ids separately.

These commands (SEM_STAT and IPC_STAT) are rather doing the same things
(only the meaning of the id given as input and the return value differ).
However, for the semaphores, they are handled in two different places (two
different functions).
This patch consolidates this for clarification by handling these both
commands in the same place in semctl_nolock(). It also removes one unused
parameter for this function.
