cred.h and a few trivial users of struct cred are changed. The rest of the users
of struct cred are left for other patches as there are too many changes to make
in one go and leave the change reviewable. If the user namespace is disabled and
CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS are disabled the code will contiue to compile

When running preemptible RCU, if a task exits in an RCU read-side
critical section having blocked within that same RCU read-side critical
section, the task must be removed from the list of tasks blocking a
grace period (perhaps the current grace period, perhaps the next grace
period, depending on timing). The exit() path invokes exit_rcu() to
do this cleanup.
However, the current implementation of exit_rcu() needlessly does the
cleanup even if the task did not block within the current RCU read-side
critical section, which wastes time and needlessly increases the size
of the state space. Fix this by only doing the cleanup if the current
task is actually on the list of tasks blocking some grace period.
While we are at it, consolidate the two identical exit_rcu() functions
into a single function.

Currently, PREEMPT_RCU readers are enqueued upon entry to the scheduler.
This is inefficient because enqueuing is required only if there is a
context switch, and entry to the scheduler does not guarantee a context
switch.
The commit therefore moves the enqueuing to immediately precede the
call to switch_to() from the scheduler.

Android allows user space to manipulate wakelocks using two
sysfs file located in /sys/power/, wake_lock and wake_unlock.
Writing a wakelock name and optionally a timeout to the wake_lock
file causes the wakelock whose name was written to be acquired (it
is created before is necessary), optionally with the given timeout.
Writing the name of a wakelock to wake_unlock causes that wakelock
to be released.
Implement an analogous interface for user space using wakeup sources.
Add the /sys/power/wake_lock and /sys/power/wake_unlock files
allowing user space to create, activate and deactivate wakeup
sources, such that writing a name and optionally a timeout to
wake_lock causes the wakeup source of that name to be activated,
optionally with the given timeout. If that wakeup source doesn't
exist, it will be created and then activated. Writing a name to
wake_unlock causes the wakeup source of that name, if there is one,
to be deactivated. Wakeup sources created with the help of
wake_lock that haven't been used for more than 5 minutes are garbage
collected and destroyed. Moreover, there can be only WL_NUMBER_LIMIT
wakeup sources created with the help of wake_lock present at a time.
The data type used to track wakeup sources created by user space is
called "struct wakelock" to indicate the origins of this feature.
This version of the patch includes an rbtree manipulation fix from John Stultz.

Introduce a mechanism by which the kernel can trigger global
transitions to a sleep state chosen by user space if there are no
active wakeup sources.
It consists of a new sysfs attribute, /sys/power/autosleep, that
can be written one of the strings returned by reads from
/sys/power/state, an ordered workqueue and a work item carrying out
the "suspend" operations. If a string representing the system's
sleep state is written to /sys/power/autosleep, the work item
triggering transitions to that state is queued up and it requeues
itself after every execution until user space writes "off" to
/sys/power/autosleep.
That work item enables the detection of wakeup events using the
functions already defined in drivers/base/power/wakeup.c (with one
small modification) and calls either pm_suspend(), or hibernate() to
put the system into a sleep state. If a wakeup event is reported
while the transition is in progress, it will abort the transition and
the "system suspend" work item will be queued up again.

Timers are subject to migration, which can lead to the following
system-hang scenario when CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y:
1. CPU 0 executes synchronize_rcu(), which posts an RCU callback.
2. CPU 0 then goes idle. It cannot immediately invoke the callback,
but there is nothing RCU needs from ti, so it enters dyntick-idle
mode after posting a timer.
3. The timer gets migrated to CPU 1.
4. CPU 0 never wakes up, so the synchronize_rcu() never returns, so
the system hangs.
This commit fixes this problem by using mod_timer_pinned(), as suggested
by Peter Zijlstra, to ensure that the timer is actually posted on the
running CPU.

This introduces a fake module param $module.dyndbg. Its based upon
Thomas Renninger's $module.ddebug boot-time debugging patch from
https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/15/397
The 'fake' module parameter is provided for all modules, whether or
not they need it. It is not explicitly added to each module, but is
implemented in callbacks invoked from parse_args.
For builtin modules, dynamic_debug_init() now directly calls
parse_args(..., &ddebug_dyndbg_boot_params_cb), to process the params
undeclared in the modules, just after the ddebug tables are processed.
While its slightly weird to reprocess the boot params, parse_args() is
already called repeatedly by do_initcall_levels(). More importantly,
the dyndbg queries (given in ddebug_query or dyndbg params) cannot be
activated until after the ddebug tables are ready, and reusing
parse_args is cleaner than doing an ad-hoc parse. This reparse would
break options like inc_verbosity, but they probably should be params,
like verbosity=3.
ddebug_dyndbg_boot_params_cb() handles both bare dyndbg (aka:
ddebug_query) and module-prefixed dyndbg params, and ignores all other
parameters. For example, the following will enable pr_debug()s in 4
builtin modules, in the order given:
dyndbg="module params +p; module aio +p" module.dyndbg=+p pci.dyndbg
For loadable modules, parse_args() in load_module() calls
ddebug_dyndbg_module_params_cb(). This handles bare dyndbg params as
passed from modprobe, and errors on other unknown params.
Note that modprobe reads /proc/cmdline, so "modprobe foo" grabs all
foo.params, strips the "foo.", and passes these to the kernel.
ddebug_dyndbg_module_params_cb() is again called for the unknown
params; it handles dyndbg, and errors on others. The "doing" arg
added previously contains the module name.
For non CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG builds, the stub function accepts
and ignores $module.dyndbg params, other unknowns get -ENOENT.
If no param value is given (as in pci.dyndbg example above), "+p" is
assumed, which enables all pr_debug callsites in the module.
The dyndbg fake parameter is not shown in /sys/module/*/parameters,
thus it does not use any resources. Changes to it are made via the
control file.
Also change pr_info in ddebug_exec_queries to vpr_info,
no need to see it all the time.

Add a 3rd arg, named "doing", to unknown-options callbacks invoked
from parse_args(). The arg is passed as:
"Booting kernel" from start_kernel(),
initcall_level_names[i] from do_initcall_level(),
mod->name from load_module(), via parse_args(), parse_one()
parse_args() already has the "name" parameter, which is renamed to
"doing" to better reflect current uses 1,2 above. parse_args() passes
it to an altered parse_one(), which now passes it down into the
unknown option handler callbacks.
The mod->name will be needed to handle dyndbg for loadable modules,
since params passed by modprobe are not qualified (they do not have a
"$modname." prefix), and by the time the unknown-param callback is
called, the module name is not otherwise available.
Minor tweaks:
Add param-name to parse_one's pr_debug(), current message doesnt
identify the param being handled, add it.
Add a pr_info to print current level and level_name of the initcall,
and number of registered initcalls at that level. This adds 7 lines
to dmesg output, like:
initlevel:6=device, 172 registered initcalls
Drop "parameters" from initcall_level_names[], its unhelpful in the
pr_info() added above. This array is passed into parse_args() by
do_initcall_level().

This commit implements an SRCU state machine in support of call_srcu().
The state machine is preemptible, light-weight, and single-threaded,
minimizing synchronization overhead. In particular, there is no longer
any need for synchronize_srcu() to be guarded by a mutex.
Expedited processing is handled, at least in the absence of concurrent
grace-period operations on that same srcu_struct structure, by having
the synchronize_srcu_expedited() thread take on the role of the
workqueue thread for one iteration.
There is a reasonable probability that a given SRCU callback will
be invoked on the same CPU that registered it, however, there is no
guarantee. Concurrent SRCU grace-period primitives can cause callbacks
to be executed elsewhere, even in absence of CPU-hotplug operations.
Callbacks execute in process context, but under the influence of
local_bh_disable(), so it is illegal to sleep in an SRCU callback
function.

The earlier algorithm used an "expedited" flag combined with a "trycount"
counter to differentiate between normal and expedited SRCU grace periods.
However, the difference can be encoded into a single counter with a cutoff
value and different initial values for expedited and normal SRCU grace
periods. This commit makes that change.

This commit implements a variant of Peter's algorithm, which may be found
at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/1/119.
o Make the checking lock-free to enable parallel checking.
Parallel checking is required when (1) the original checking
task is preempted for a long time, (2) sychronize_srcu_expedited()
starts during an ongoing SRCU grace period, or (3) we wish to
avoid acquiring a lock.
o Since the checking is lock-free, we avoid a mutex in state machine
for call_srcu().
o Remove the SRCU_REF_MASK and remove the coupling with the flipping.
This might allow us to remove the preempt_disable() in future
versions, though such removal will need great care because it
rescinds the one-old-reader-per-CPU guarantee.
o Remove a smp_mb(), simplify the comments and make the smp_mb() pairs
more intuitive.

This is an optimization of the SRCU grace period. To guard against
preempted readers with old values of the counter, it suffices to scan the
old counters once more, then flip ->completed only one time. The reason
this works is that the old readers must have incremented the old set of
counters (if they have not yet incremented, then their critical section
starts after this grace period, so they may be safely ignored).
This commit therefore optimizes the second flip out in favor of a simple
rescan.

The purpose of the upper bit of SRCU's per-CPU counters is to guarantee
that no reasonable series of srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock()
operations can return the value of the counter to its original value.
This guarantee is require only after the index has been switched to
the other set of counters, so at most one srcu_read_lock() can affect
a given CPU's counter. The number of srcu_read_unlock() operations
on a given counter is limited to the number of tasks in the system,
which given the Linux kernel's current structure is limited to far less
than 2^30 on 32-bit systems and far less than 2^62 on 64-bit systems.
(Something about a limited number of bytes in the kernel's address space.)
Therefore, if srcu_read_lock() increments the upper bits, then
srcu_read_unlock() need not do so. In this case, an srcu_read_lock() and
an srcu_read_unlock() will flip the lower bit of the upper field of the
counter. An unreasonably large additional number of srcu_read_unlock()
operations would be required to return the counter to its initial value,
thus preserving the guarantee.
This commit takes this approach, which further allows it to shrink
the size of the upper field to one bit, making the number of
srcu_read_unlock() operations required to return the counter to its
initial value even more unreasonable than before.

The current implementation of synchronize_srcu_expedited() can cause
severe OS jitter due to its use of synchronize_sched(), which in turn
invokes try_stop_cpus(), which causes each CPU to be sent an IPI.
This can result in severe performance degradation for real-time workloads
and especially for short-interation-length HPC workloads. Furthermore,
because only one instance of try_stop_cpus() can be making forward progress
at a given time, only one instance of synchronize_srcu_expedited() can
make forward progress at a time, even if they are all operating on
distinct srcu_struct structures.
This commit, inspired by an earlier implementation by Peter Zijlstra
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/31/211) and by further offline discussions,
takes a strictly algorithmic bits-in-memory approach. This has the
disadvantage of requiring one explicit memory-barrier instruction in
each of srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but on the other hand
completely dispenses with OS jitter and furthermore allows SRCU to be
used freely by CPUs that RCU believes to be idle or offline.
The update-side implementation handles the single read-side memory
barrier by rechecking the per-CPU counters after summing them and
by running through the update-side state machine twice.
This implementation has passed moderate rcutorture testing on both
x86 and Power. Also updated to use this_cpu_ptr() instead of per_cpu_ptr(),
as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

Half of them relate to xtensa directly. It was only when I fixed the

- fix a missing include for GPIO in blackfin framebuffer.
- audit and tag endif in blackfin ezkit board file, in order to find

RCU_FAST_NO_HZ uses a timer to limit the time that a CPU with callbacks
can remain in dyntick-idle mode. This timer is cancelled when the CPU
exits idle, and therefore should never fire. However, if the timer
were migrated to some other CPU for whatever reason (1) the timer could
actually fire and (2) firing on some other CPU would fail to wake up the
CPU with callbacks, possibly resulting in sluggishness or a system hang.
This commit therfore adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the timer handler in order
to detect this condition.

In perf_event_for_each() we call a function on an event, and then
iterate over the siblings of the event.
However we don't call the function on the siblings, we call it
repeatedly on the original event - it seems "obvious" that we should
be calling it with sibling as the argument.
It looks like this broke in commit 75f937f24bd9 ("Fix ctx->mutex
vs counter->mutex inversion").
The only effect of the bug is that the PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP parameter
to the ioctls doesn't work.

Under extreme memory used up situations, percpu allocation
might fail. We hit it when system goes to suspend-to-ram,
causing a kworker panic:
EIP: [<c124411a>] build_sched_domains+0x23a/0xad0
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Pid: 3026, comm: kworker/u:3
3.0.8-137473-gf42fbef #1

With this fix applied build_sched_domains() will return -ENOMEM and
the suspend attempt fails.

Commits 367456c756a6 ("sched: Ditch per cgroup task lists for
load-balancing") and 5d6523ebd ("sched: Fix load-balance wreckage")
left some more wreckage.
By setting loop_max unconditionally to ->nr_running load-balancing
could take a lot of time on very long runqueues (hackbench!). So keep
the sysctl as max limit of the amount of tasks we'll iterate.
Furthermore, the min load filter for migration completely fails with
cgroups since inequality in per-cpu state can easily lead to such
small loads :/
Furthermore the change to add new tasks to the tail of the queue
instead of the head seems to have some effect.. not quite sure I
understand why.
Combined these fixes solve the huge hackbench regression reported by
Tim when hackbench is ran in a cgroup.

All SMP architectures have magic to fork the idle task and to store it
for reusage when cpu hotplug is enabled. Provide a generic
infrastructure for it.
Create/reinit the idle thread for the cpu which is brought up in the
generic code and hand the thread pointer to the architecture code via
__cpu_up().
Note, that fork_idle() is called via a workqueue, because this
guarantees that the idle thread does not get a reference to a user
space VM. This can happen when the boot process did not bring up all
possible cpus and a later cpu_up() is initiated via the sysfs
interface. In that case fork_idle() would be called in the context of
the user space task and take a reference on the user space VM.

- Convert the old uid mapping functions into compatibility wrappers
- Add a uid/gid mapping layer from user space uid and gids to kernel
internal uids and gids that is extent based for simplicty and speed.
* Working with number space after mapping uids/gids into their kernel
internal version adds only mapping complexity over what we have today,
leaving the kernel code easy to understand and test.
- Add proc files /proc/self/uid_map /proc/self/gid_map
These files display the mapping and allow a mapping to be added
if a mapping does not exist.
- Allow entering the user namespace without a uid or gid mapping.
Since we are starting with an existing user our uids and gids
still have global mappings so are still valid and useful they just don't
have local mappings. The requirement for things to work are global uid
and gid so it is odd but perfectly fine not to have a local uid
and gid mapping.
Not requiring global uid and gid mappings greatly simplifies
the logic of setting up the uid and gid mappings by allowing
the mappings to be set after the namespace is created which makes the
slight weirdness worth it.
- Make the mappings in the initial user namespace to the global
uid/gid space explicit. Today it is an identity mapping
but in the future we may want to twist this for debugging, similar
to what we do with jiffies.
- Document the memory ordering requirements of setting the uid and
gid mappings. We only allow the mappings to be set once
and there are no pointers involved so the requirments are
trivial but a little atypical.
Performance:
In this scheme for the permission checks the performance is expected to
stay the same as the actuall machine instructions should remain the same.
The worst case I could think of is ls -l on a large directory where
all of the stat results need to be translated with from kuids and
kgids to uids and gids. So I benchmarked that case on my laptop
with a dual core hyperthread Intel i5-2520M cpu with 3M of cpu cache.
My benchmark consisted of going to single user mode where nothing else
was running. On an ext4 filesystem opening 1,000,000 files and looping
through all of the files 1000 times and calling fstat on the
individuals files. This was to ensure I was benchmarking stat times
where the inodes were in the kernels cache, but the inode values were
not in the processors cache. My results:
v3.4-rc1: ~= 156ns (unmodified v3.4-rc1 with user namespace support disabled)
v3.4-rc1-userns-: ~= 155ns (v3.4-rc1 with my user namespace patches and user namespace support disabled)
v3.4-rc1-userns+: ~= 164ns (v3.4-rc1 with my user namespace patches and user namespace support enabled)
All of the configurations ran in roughly 120ns when I performed tests
that ran in the cpu cache.
So in summary the performance impact is:
1ns improvement in the worst case with user namespace support compiled out.
8ns aka 5% slowdown in the worst case with user namespace support compiled in.

- Transform userns->creator from a user_struct reference to a simple
kuid_t, kgid_t pair.
In cap_capable this allows the check to see if we are the creator of
a namespace to become the classic suser style euid permission check.
This allows us to remove the need for a struct cred in the mapping
functions and still be able to dispaly the user namespace creators
uid and gid as 0.
- Remove the now unnecessary delayed_work in free_user_ns.
All that is left for free_user_ns to do is to call kmem_cache_free
and put_user_ns. Those functions can be called in any context
so call them directly from free_user_ns removing the need for delayed work.

Send an NMI to all CPUs when a hung task is detected and the hung
task code is configured to panic. This gives us a fairly uptodate
snapshot of all CPUs in the system.
This lets us get stack trace of all CPUs which makes life easier
trying to debug a deadlock, and the NMI doesn't change anything
since the next step is a kernel panic.

The rcutorture initialization code ignored the error returns from
rcu_torture_onoff_init() and rcu_torture_stall_init(). The rcutorture
cleanup code failed to NULL out a number of pointers. These bugs will
normally have no effect, but this commit fixes them nevertheless.
