Hans de Goede b10f7c12e0 watchdog: watchdog_dev: Let the driver update the timeout field on set_timeout success
When a set_timeout operation succeeds this does not necessarily mean that
the exact timeout requested has been achieved, because the watchdog does not
necessarily have a 1 second resolution. So rather then have the core set
the timeout member of the watchdog_device struct to the exact requested
value, instead the driver should set it to the actually achieved timeout value.

Wolfram Sang 19f505f09c watchdog: pnx4008: cleanup resource handling using managed devices
The resource handling in this driver was flaky: IO_ADDRESS instead of
ioremap (and no unmapping), an unneeded static resource, no central exit
path for error cases. Fix this by converting the driver to use managed
resources. Also use dev_*-messages instead of pr_* while we are here.

Oskar Schirmer 474ef12100 watchdog: make imx2_wdt report boot status correctly
Ioctl WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS is supposed to return some information
on why the system did (re)boot recently, value WDIOF_CARDRESET
being used to indicate watchdog induced reboot.

Up to now, imx2_wdt did not provide a value here, always returning
zero to indicate normal boot.

Do evaluate the IMX Watchdog Reset Status Register and
produce WDIOF_CARDRESET with WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS in case
of a watchdog induced reset.

"[RFC PATCH 0/2] audit of linux/device.h users in include/*"
 		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/4/159
 --
 
 Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like:
 
 	void foo(struct device *dev);
 
 and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the
 sub fields within the device struct.  This allows us to significantly
 reduce the scope of headers including headers.  For this instance, a
 reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the
 simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct.
 
 Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two
 commits.  One to fix the implicit <linux/device.h> users, and then
 one to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir
 wherever possible.

"[RFC - PATCH 0/7] consolidation of BUG support code."
 		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/26/525
 --
 
 The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under
 the one <linux/bug.h> file.  Due to historical reasons, we have
 some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for
 BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h,
 but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As
 a band-aid, kernel.h was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
 
 This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.
 Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
 
       CC      lib/string.o
       lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
       lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
       make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
       $
       $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
       #include <linux/bug.h>
       $
 
 We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
 still get a compile fail!  [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.]
 Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
 
 With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
 
 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
    implicit presence of BUG code.
 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and
    hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
 
 During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.
 But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless
 build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix
 the problem areas in advance.

 - Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity.

   Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
   are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing
   network devices.

   sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
   and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c.  Hopefully
   this means the code is now approachable.

   Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
   something was found that was usable.

   is fixed.

Linus Torvalds bab2d8c602 OpenRISC changes for 3.4
This series for the OpenRISC architecture consists of mostly trivial fixups.
 The most interesting bits of the series are:
 
 * A fix to the timer code whereby the shortest trigger period is set to
   100 cycles; previously, it was possible to set this to 1 cycle, but by
   the time the register was written, that time had already passed and the
   timer interrupt would not go off until the cycle counter had gone a full
   cycle.
 
 * Allowing a device tree binary to be passed in to the kernel from u-boot.
   The OpenRISC architecture has been recently merged into upstream u-boot,
   so this change gets OpenRISC Linux into sync with that project.

Pravin B Shelar 1b26c9b334 proc-ns: use d_set_d_op() API to set dentry ops in proc_ns_instantiate().
The namespace cleanup path leaks a dentry which holds a reference count
on a network namespace.  Keeping that network namespace from being freed
when the last user goes away.  Leaving things like vlan devices in the
leaked network namespace.

If you use ip netns add for much real work this problem becomes apparent
pretty quickly.  It light testing the problem hides because frequently
you simply don't notice the leak.

Use d_set_d_op() so that DCACHE_OP_* flags are set correctly.

This issue exists back to 3.0.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki bda7bad62b procfs: speed up /proc/pid/stat, statm
Process accounting applications as top, ps visit some files under
/proc/<pid>.  With seq_put_decimal_ull(), we can optimize /proc/<pid>/stat
and /proc/<pid>/statm files.

This patch adds
  - seq_put_decimal_ll() for signed values.
  - allow delimiter == 0.
  - convert seq_printf() to seq_put_decimal_ull/ll in /proc/stat, statm.

Test result on a system with 2000+ procs.

Before patch:
  [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ top -b -n 1 | wc -l
  2223
  [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time top -b -n 1 > /dev/null

  real    0m0.675s

  real    0m0.236s
  user    0m0.056s
  sys     0m0.176s

After patch:
  kamezawa@bluextal ~]$ time top -b -n 1 > /dev/null

  real    0m0.657s
  user    0m0.052s
  sys     0m0.100s

  [kamezawa@bluextal ~]$ time ps -elf > /dev/null

  real    0m0.198s
  user    0m0.050s
  sys     0m0.145s

Considering top, ps tend to scan /proc periodically, this will reduce cpu
consumption by top/ps to some extent.

Eric Dumazet 59a32e2ce5 proc: speed up /proc/stat handling
On a typical 16 cpus machine, "cat /proc/stat" gives more than 4096 bytes,
and is slow :

  # strace -T -o /tmp/STRACE cat /proc/stat | wc -c
  5826
  # grep "cpu " /tmp/STRACE
  read(0, "cpu  1949310 19 2144714 12117253"..., 32768) = 5826 <0.001504>

Thats partly because show_stat() must be called twice since initial
buffer size is too small (4096 bytes for less than 32 possible cpus)

Fix this by :

 1) Taking into account nr_irqs in the initial buffer sizing.

 2) Using ksize() to allow better filling of initial buffer.

Jason Baron accb61fe7b coredump: add VM_NODUMP, MADV_NODUMP, MADV_CLEAR_NODUMP
Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit
for 'VM_NODUMP' flag.  The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag:
MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request
memory regions which should not dump core.

The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there
that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core.  This flag
might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely
make sure that parts of memory are not dumped.  To clear the flag use:
MADV_DODUMP.

Jason Baron 909af768e8 coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

Oleg Nesterov 1cc684ab75 kmod: make __request_module() killable
As Tetsuo Handa pointed out, request_module() can stress the system
while the oom-killed caller sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

The task T uses "almost all" memory, then it does something which
triggers request_module().  Say, it can simply call sys_socket().  This
in turn needs more memory and leads to OOM.  oom-killer correctly
chooses T and kills it, but this can't help because it sleeps in
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and after that oom-killer becomes "disabled" by the
TIF_MEMDIE task T.

Make __request_module() killable.  The only necessary change is that
call_modprobe() should kmalloc argv and module_name, they can't live in
the stack if we use UMH_KILLABLE.  This memory is freed via
call_usermodehelper_freeinfo()->cleanup.

Oleg Nesterov d0bd587a80 usermodehelper: implement UMH_KILLABLE
Implement UMH_KILLABLE, should be used along with UMH_WAIT_EXEC/PROC.
The caller must ensure that subprocess_info->path/etc can not go away
until call_usermodehelper_freeinfo().

call_usermodehelper_exec(UMH_KILLABLE) does
wait_for_completion_killable.  If it fails, it uses
xchg(&sub_info->complete, NULL) to serialize with umh_complete() which
does the same xhcg() to access sub_info->complete.

If call_usermodehelper_exec wins, it can safely return.  umh_complete()
should get NULL and call call_usermodehelper_freeinfo().

Otherwise we know that umh_complete() was already called, in this case
call_usermodehelper_exec() falls back to wait_for_completion() which
should succeed "very soon".

Note: UMH_NO_WAIT == -1 but it obviously should not be used with
UMH_KILLABLE.  We delay the neccessary cleanup to simplify the back
porting.

Change zap_pid_ns_processes() to use SEND_SIG_FORCED, it looks more
clear compared to SEND_SIG_NOINFO which relies on from_ancestor_ns logic
send_signal().

It is also more efficient if we need to kill a lot of tasks because it
doesn't alloc sigqueue.

While at it, add the __fatal_signal_pending(task) check as a minor
optimization.

Change oom_kill_task() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED) instead
of force_sig(SIGKILL).  With the recent changes we do not need force_ to
kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks.

And this is more correct.  force_sig() can race with the exiting thread
even if oom_kill_task() checks p->mm != NULL, while
do_send_sig_info(group => true) kille the whole process.

Oleg Nesterov 629d362b99 signal: give SEND_SIG_FORCED more power to beat SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE
force_sig_info() and friends have the special semantics for synchronous
signals, this interface should not be used if the target is not current.
And it needs the fixes, in particular the clearing of SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE
is not exactly right.

However there are callers which have to use force_ exactly because it
clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE and thus it can kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks,
although this is almost always is wrong by various reasons.

With this patch SEND_SIG_FORCED ignores SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, like we do if
the signal comes from the ancestor namespace.

This makes the naming in prepare_signal() paths insane, fixed by the
next cleanup.

Note: this only affects SIGKILL/SIGSTOP, but this is enough for
force_sig() abusers.
