Peter Zijlstra fb00aca474 rtmutex: Turn the plist into an rb-tree
Turn the pi-chains from plist to rb-tree, in the rt_mutex code,
and provide a proper comparison function for -deadline and
-priority tasks.

This is done mainly because:
 - classical prio field of the plist is just an int, which might
   not be enough for representing a deadline;
 - manipulating such a list would become O(nr_deadline_tasks),
   which might be to much, as the number of -deadline task increases.

Therefore, an rb-tree is used, and tasks are queued in it according
to the following logic:
 - among two -priority (i.e., SCHED_BATCH/OTHER/RR/FIFO) tasks, the
   one with the higher (lower, actually!) prio wins;
 - among a -priority and a -deadline task, the latter always wins;
 - among two -deadline tasks, the one with the earliest deadline
   wins.

Queueing and dequeueing functions are changed accordingly, for both
the list of a task's pi-waiters and the list of tasks blocked on
a pi-lock.

Dario Faggioli aab03e05e8 sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE structures & implementation
Introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed for
SCHED_DEADLINE implementation.

Core data structure of SCHED_DEADLINE are defined, along with their
initializers. Hooks for checking if a task belong to the new policy
are also added where they are needed.

Adds a scheduling class, in sched/dl.c and a new policy called
SCHED_DEADLINE. It is an implementation of the Earliest Deadline
First (EDF) scheduling algorithm, augmented with a mechanism (called
Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate
the behaviour of tasks between each other.

The typical -deadline task will be made up of a computation phase
(instance) which is activated on a periodic or sporadic fashion. The
expected (maximum) duration of such computation is called the task's
runtime; the time interval by which each instance need to be completed
is called the task's relative deadline. The task's absolute deadline
is dynamically calculated as the time instant a task (better, an
instance) activates plus the relative deadline.

The EDF algorithms selects the task with the smallest absolute
deadline as the one to be executed first, while the CBS ensures each
task to run for at most its runtime every (relative) deadline
length time interval, avoiding any interference between different
tasks (bandwidth isolation).
Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not strictly comply with
the computational model sketched above can effectively use the new
policy.

To summarize, this patch:
 - introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed;
 - implements the core logic of the scheduling algorithm in the new
   scheduling class file;
 - provides all the glue code between the new scheduling class and
   the core scheduler and refines the interactions between sched/dl
   and the other existing scheduling classes.

Rik van Riel 2084140594 mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_range
There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by
mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and
compaction on the other side.

The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets
made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed.

During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page.

This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration
code may come in, and migrate the page away.

When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached
translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the
process.

This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible.
All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush,
or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions
(SPARC).

The basic race looks like this:

CPU A			CPU B			CPU C

						load TLB entry
make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA
			fault on entry
						read/write old page
			start migrating page
			change PTE/PMD to new page
						read/write old page [*]
flush TLB
						reload TLB from new entry
						read/write new page
						lose data

[*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point!

The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that
pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may
still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm.

This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

Oleg Nesterov bb8cbbfee6 tasks/fork: Remove unnecessary child->exit_state
A zombie task obviously can't fork(), remove the unnecessary
initialization of child->exit_state. It is zero anyway after
dup_task_struct().

Note: copy_process() is huge and it has a lot of chaotic
initializations, probably it makes sense to move them into the
new helper called by dup_task_struct().

The two fundamental things I know we can not allow are:
- A shared signal queue aka CLONE_THREAD.  Because we compute the pid
  and uid of the signal when we place it in the queue.

- Changing the pid and by extention pid_namespace of an existing
  process.

From a parents perspective there is nothing special about the pid
namespace, to deny CLONE_PARENT, because the parent simply won't know or
care.

From the childs perspective all that is special really are shared signal
queues.

User mode threading with CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_VM|CLONE_SIGHAND and tasks
in different pid namespaces is almost certainly going to break because
it is complicated.  But shared signal handlers can look at per thread
information to know which pid namespace a process is in, so I don't know
of any reason not to support CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_VM|CLONE_SIGHAND threads
at the kernel level.  It would be absolutely stupid to implement but
that is a different thing.

So hmm.

Because it can do no harm, and because it is a regression let's remove
the CLONE_PARENT check and send it stable.

Kirill A. Shutemov e009bb30c8 mm: implement split page table lock for PMD level
The basic idea is the same as with PTE level: the lock is embedded into
struct page of table's page.

We can't use mm->pmd_huge_pte to store pgtables for THP, since we don't
take mm->page_table_lock anymore.  Let's reuse page->lru of table's page
for that.

pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() returns true, if initialization is successful
and false otherwise.  Current implementation never fails, but assumption
that constructor can fail will help to port it to -rt where spinlock_t
is rather huge and cannot be embedded into struct page -- dynamic
allocation is required.

Oleg Nesterov 3ab6796617 uprobes: Teach uprobe_copy_process() to handle CLONE_VFORK
uprobe_copy_process() does nothing if the child shares ->mm with
the forking process, but there is a special case: CLONE_VFORK.
In this case it would be more correct to do dup_utask() but avoid
dup_xol(). This is not that important, the child should not unwind
its stack too much, this can corrupt the parent's stack, but at
least we need this to allow to ret-probe __vfork() itself.

Note: in theory, it would be better to check task_pt_regs(p)->sp
instead of CLONE_VFORK, we need to dup_utask() if and only if the
child can return from the function called by the parent. But this
needs the arch-dependant helper, and I think that nobody actually
does clone(same_stack, CLONE_VM).

Oleg Nesterov b68e074910 uprobes: Change the callsite of uprobe_copy_process()
Preparation for the next patches.

Move the callsite of uprobe_copy_process() in copy_process() down
to the succesfull return. We do not care if copy_process() fails,
uprobe_free_utask() won't be called in this case so the wrong
->utask != NULL doesn't matter.

OTOH, with this change we know that copy_process() can't fail when
uprobe_copy_process() is called, the new task should either return
to user-mode or call do_exit(). This way uprobe_copy_process() can:

	1. setup p->utask != NULL if necessary

	2. setup uprobes_state.xol_area

	3. use task_work_add(p)

Also, move the definition of uprobe_copy_process() down so that it
can see get_utask().

PTE scanning and NUMA hinting fault handling is expensive so commit
5bca2303 ("mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled
on a new node") deferred the PTE scan until a task had been scheduled on
another node. The problem is that in the purely shared memory case that
this may never happen and no NUMA hinting fault information will be
captured. We are not ruling out the possibility that something better
can be done here but for now, this patch needs to be reverted and depend
entirely on the scan_delay to avoid punishing short-lived processes.

Oleg Nesterov 40a0d32d1e fork: unify and tighten up CLONE_NEWUSER/CLONE_NEWPID checks
do_fork() denies CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_PARENT if NEWUSER | NEWPID.

Then later copy_process() denies CLONE_SIGHAND if the new process will
be in a different pid namespace (task_active_pid_ns() doesn't match
current->nsproxy->pid_ns).

This looks confusing and inconsistent.  CLONE_NEWPID is very similar to
the case when ->pid_ns was already unshared, we want the same
restrictions so copy_process() should also nack CLONE_PARENT.

And it would be better to deny CLONE_NEWUSER && CLONE_SIGHAND as well
just for consistency.

Kill the "CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID" check in do_fork() and change
copy_process() to do the same check along with ->pid_ns check we already
have.

Oleg Nesterov 5167246a8a pidns: kill the unnecessary CLONE_NEWPID in copy_process()
Commit 8382fcac1b ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)") nacks CLONE_NEWPID if the forking process
unshared pid_ns.  This is correct but unnecessary, copy_pid_ns() does
the same check.

Remove the CLONE_NEWPID check to cleanup the code and prepare for the
next change.

Test-case:

	static int child(void *arg)
	{
		return 0;
	}

	static char stack[16 * 1024];

	int main(void)
	{
		pid_t pid;

		assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);

		pid = clone(child, stack + sizeof(stack) / 2,
				CLONE_NEWPID | SIGCHLD, NULL);
		assert(pid < 0 && errno == EINVAL);

		return 0;
	}

clone(CLONE_NEWPID) correctly fails with or without this change.

Commit 8382fcac1b ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after

pid_ns, this obviously breaks vfork:

	int main(void)

		assert(vfork() >= 0);
		_exit(0);
		return 0;
	}

fails without this patch.

Change this check to use CLONE_SIGHAND instead.  This also forbids
CLONE_THREAD automatically, and this is what the comment implies.

We could probably even drop CLONE_SIGHAND and use CLONE_THREAD, but it
would be safer to not do this.  The current check denies CLONE_SIGHAND
implicitely and there is no reason to change this.

Eric said "CLONE_SIGHAND is fine.  CLONE_THREAD would be even better.
Having shared signal handling between two different pid namespaces is
the case that we are fundamentally guarding against."

Linus Torvalds c7c4591db6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is an assorted mishmash of small cleanups, enhancements and bug
  fixes.

  The major theme is user namespace mount restrictions.  nsown_capable
  is killed as it encourages not thinking about details that need to be
  considered.  A very hard to hit pid namespace exiting bug was finally
  tracked and fixed.  A couple of cleanups to the basic namespace
  infrastructure.

  Finally there is an enhancement that makes per user namespace
  capabilities usable as capabilities, and an enhancement that allows
  the per userns root to nice other processes in the user namespace"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  userns:  Kill nsown_capable it makes the wrong thing easy
  capabilities: allow nice if we are privileged
  pidns: Don't have unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) imply CLONE_THREAD
  userns: Allow PR_CAPBSET_DROP in a user namespace.
  namespaces: Simplify copy_namespaces so it is clear what is going on.
  pidns: Fix hang in zap_pid_ns_processes by sending a potentially extra wakeup
  sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs
  userns: Better restrictions on when proc and sysfs can be mounted
  vfs: Don't copy mount bind mounts of /proc/<pid>/ns/mnt between namespaces
  kernel/nsproxy.c: Improving a snippet of code.
  proc: Restrict mounting the proc filesystem
  vfs: Lock in place mounts from more privileged users

Eric W. Biederman 6e556ce209 pidns: Don't have unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) imply CLONE_THREAD
I goofed when I made unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) only work in a
single-threaded process.  There is no need for that requirement and in
fact I analyzied things right for setns.  The hard requirement
is for tasks that share a VM to all be in the pid namespace and
we properly prevent that in do_fork.

Just to be certain I took a look through do_wait and
forget_original_parent and there are no cases that make it any harder
for children to be in the multiple pid namespaces than it is for
children to be in the same pid namespace.  I also performed a check to
see if there were in uses of task->nsproxy_pid_ns I was not familiar
with, but it is only used when allocating a new pid for a new task,
and in checks to prevent craziness from happening.

Andy Lutomirski c2b1df2eb4 Rename nsproxy.pid_ns to nsproxy.pid_ns_for_children
nsproxy.pid_ns is *not* the task's pid namespace.  The name should clarify
that.

This makes it more obvious that setns on a pid namespace is weird --
it won't change the pid namespace shown in procfs.

Michal Simek dfa9771a7c microblaze: fix clone syscall
Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6 ("microblaze: switch to generic
fork/vfork/clone").

The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size.  The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd
slot.

This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.

All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected.

... <snip>

I've got an alternate approach for fixing this wart in lookup_ioctx()...
Instead of using an rbtree, just use the reserved id in the ring buffer
header to index an array pointing the ioctx.  It's not finished yet, and
it needs to be tidied up, but is most of the way there.

Paul Gortmaker 0db0628d90 kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Oleg Nesterov 18c830df77 kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): consolidate the lockless CLONE_THREAD checks
copy_process() does a lot of "chaotic" initializations and checks
CLONE_THREAD twice before it takes tasklist.  In particular it sets
"p->group_leader = p" and then changes it again under tasklist if
!thread_group_leader(p).

This looks a bit confusing, lets create a single "if (CLONE_THREAD)" block
which initializes ->exit_signal, ->group_leader, and ->tgid.

Oleg Nesterov 8190773985 kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): don't add the uninitialized child to thread/task/pid lists
copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and
then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID).  This means that the lockless
next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid.  Say,
"ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice.

We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case
find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully
initialized.

And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch
copy_process() initializes child->pids[*].pid first, then calls
attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid->tasks list.

attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always
called after pid_link->pid was already set.

Eric Paris b57922b6c7 fork: reorder permissions when violating number of processes limits
When a task is attempting to violate the RLIMIT_NPROC limit we have a
check to see if the task is sufficiently priviledged.  The check first
looks at CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, then if the task is uid=0.

A result is that tasks which are allowed by the uid=0 check are first
checked against the security subsystem.  This results in the security
subsystem auditting a denial for sys_admin and sys_resource and then the
task passing the uid=0 check.

This patch rearranges the code to first check uid=0, since if we pass that
we shouldn't hit the security system at all.  We then check sys_resource,
since it is the smallest capability which will solve the problem.  Lastly
we check the fallback everything cap_sysadmin.  We don't want to give this
capability many places since it is so powerful.

This will eliminate many of the false positive/needless denial messages we
get when a root task tries to violate the nproc limit.  (note that
kthreads count against root, so on a sufficiently large machine we can
actually get past the default limits before any userspace tasks are
launched.)

Eric W. Biederman e66eded830 userns: Don't allow CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_FS
Don't allowing sharing the root directory with processes in a
different user namespace.  There doesn't seem to be any point, and to
allow it would require the overhead of putting a user namespace
reference in fs_struct (for permission checks) and incrementing that
reference count on practically every call to fork.

So just perform the inexpensive test of forbidding sharing fs_struct
acrosss processes in different user namespaces.  We already disallow
other forms of threading when unsharing a user namespace so this
should be no real burden in practice.

This updates setns, clone, and unshare to disallow multiple user
namespaces sharing an fs_struct.

The full dynticks cputime accounting is able to account either
using the tick or the context tracking subsystem. This way
the housekeeping CPU can keep the low overhead tick based
solution.

This latter mode has a low jiffies resolution granularity and
need to be scaled against CFS precise runtime accounting to
improve its result. We are doing this for CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING,
now we also need to expand it to full dynticks accounting dynamic
off-case as well.

Ingo Molnar b2c77a57e4 This implements the cputime accounting on full dynticks CPUs.
Typical cputime stats infrastructure relies on the timer tick and
 its periodic polling on the CPU to account the amount of time
 spent by the CPUs and the tasks per high level domains such as
 userspace, kernelspace, guest, ...
 
 Now we are preparing to implement full dynticks capability on
 Linux for Real Time and HPC users who want full CPU isolation.
 This feature requires a cputime accounting that doesn't depend
 on the timer tick.
 
 To implement it, this new cputime infrastructure plugs into
 kernel/user/guest boundaries to take snapshots of cputime and
 flush these to the stats when needed. This performs pretty
 much like CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING except that context location
 and cputime snaphots are synchronized between write and read
 side such that the latter can safely retrieve the pending tickless
 cputime of a task and add it to its latest cputime snapshot to
 return the correct result to the user.

Frederic Weisbecker 6a61671bb2 cputime: Safely read cputime of full dynticks CPUs
While remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a
full dynticks CPU, the values stored in utime/stime fields
of struct task_struct may be stale. Its values may be those
of the last kernel <-> user transition time snapshot and
we need to add the tickless time spent since this snapshot.

To fix this, flush the cputime of the dynticks CPUs on
kernel <-> user transition and record the time / context
where we did this. Then on top of this snapshot and the current
time, perform the fixup on the reader side from task_times()
accessors.

The sequence:
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)
clone(CLONE_THREAD|CLONE_SIGHAND|CLONE_VM)

Creates a new process in the new pid namespace without setting
pid_ns->child_reaper.  After forking this results in a NULL
pointer dereference.

Avoid this and other nonsense scenarios that can show up after
creating a new pid namespace with unshare by adding a new
check in copy_prodcess.

Glauber Costa 2ad306b17c fork: protect architectures where THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE against fork bombs
Because those architectures will draw their stacks directly from the page
allocator, rather than the slab cache, we can directly pass __GFP_KMEMCG
flag, and issue the corresponding free_pages.

This code path is taken when the architecture doesn't define
CONFIG_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR (only ia64 seems to), and has
THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE.  Luckily, most - if not all - of the remaining
architectures fall in this category.

This will guarantee that every stack page is accounted to the memcg the
process currently lives on, and will have the allocations to fail if they
go over limit.

For the time being, I am defining a new variant of THREADINFO_GFP, not to
mess with the other path.  Once the slab is also tracked by memcg, we can
get rid of that flag.

Tested to successfully protect against :(){ :|:& };:

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
  containers in general and user namespaces in particular.  The user
  space interface is now complete.

  This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
  namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
  The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
  using cool new kernel features is broken.

  This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
  the pid, user, mount namespaces.

  This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
  cleanups/simplifications.  Of particular significance is the rework of
  the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
  tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation.  At
  least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
  to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
  ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
  currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
  checks are always applied.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
  so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
  namespaces.

  Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
  permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
  namespace root to usefully use the networking stack.  Similar changes
  for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
  tree.

  Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
  in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

  Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
  ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
  Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
  being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

  Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
  user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
 "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
  (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
  autonuma which is in aa.git.

  In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
  its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
  scheduling.  In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
  desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
  scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.

  The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are

    mel:    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
    mingo:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
    tglx:   https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
    srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397

  The results are a mixed bag.  In my own tests, balancenuma does
  reasonably well.  It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
  mainline.  On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
  incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
  but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts.  Thomas'
  results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
  numacore or autonuma.  Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
  large machine with imbalanced node sizes.

  My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
  dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
  We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
  migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
  There are also cases where it regresses.  Of interest is that for
  specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
  warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
  the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports.  Recently I
  reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
  NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
  this problem is.  Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
  handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case.  It's possible
  numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.

  These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
  with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
  not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on cgroup side.  The big changes are focused on
  making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.

   - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
     destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
     drain refcnt synchronously.  The vetoing never worked properly and
     caused good deal of contortions in cgroup.  memcg was the last
     reamining user.  Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
     path has been simplified significantly.  This was done in a
     separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
     changes on top.

   - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
     implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
     improve hierarchy support.

   - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
     cgroup and handle hierarchy.  If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
     cgroups are frozen.

   - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
     properly.

   - Various fixes and cleanups.

   - Two merge commits.  One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
     to build iterators).  The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
     device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be

Linus Torvalds f57d54bab6 Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change affects group scheduling: we now track the runnable
  average on a per-task entity basis, allowing a smoother, exponential
  decay average based load/weight estimation instead of the previous
  binary on-the-runqueue/off-the-runqueue load weight method.

  This will inevitably disturb workloads that were in some sort of
  borderline balancing state or unstable equilibrium, so an eye has to
  be kept on regressions.

  For that reason the new load average is only limited to group
  scheduling (shares distribution) at the moment (which was also hurting
  the most from the prior, crude weight calculation and whose scheduling
  quality wins most from this change) - but we plan to extend this to
  regular SMP balancing as well in the future, which will simplify and
  speed up things a bit.

  Other changes involve ongoing preparatory work to extend NOHZ to the
  scheduler as well, eventually allowing completely irq-free user-space
  execution."

Mel Gorman 5bca230353 mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node
Due to the fact that migrations are driven by the CPU a task is running
on there is no point tracking NUMA faults until one task runs on a new
node. This patch tracks the first node used by an address space. Until
it changes, PTE scanning is disabled and no NUMA hinting faults are
trapped. This should help workloads that are short-lived, do not care
about NUMA placement or have bound themselves to a single node.

This takes advantage of the logic in "mm: sched: numa: Implement slow
start for working set sampling" to delay when the checks are made. This
will take advantage of processes that set their CPU and node bindings
early in their lifetime. It will also potentially allow any initial load
balancing to take place.

* The first function uses the cputime in the task struct and the

Just consolidate the common code that does the adjustment. These

Eric W. Biederman 5eaf563e53 userns: Allow unprivileged users to create user namespaces.
Now that we have been through every permission check in the kernel
having uid == 0 and gid == 0 in your local user namespace no
longer adds any special privileges.  Even having a full set
of caps in your local user namespace is safe because capabilies
are relative to your local user namespace, and do not confer
unexpected privileges.

Over the long term this should allow much more of the kernels
functionality to be safely used by non-root users.  Functionality
like unsharing the mount namespace that is only unsafe because
it can fool applications whose privileges are raised when they
are executed.  Since those applications have no privileges in
a user namespaces it becomes safe to spoof and confuse those
applications all you want.

Those capabilities will still need to be enabled carefully because
we may still need things like rlimits on the number of unprivileged
mounts but that is to avoid DOS attacks not to avoid fooling root
owned processes.

Eric W. Biederman 50804fe373 pidns: Support unsharing the pid namespace.
Unsharing of the pid namespace unlike unsharing of other namespaces
does not take affect immediately.  Instead it affects the children
created with fork and clone.  The first of these children becomes the init
process of the new pid namespace, the rest become oddball children
of pid 0.  From the point of view of the new pid namespace the process
that created it is pid 0, as it's pid does not map.

A couple of different semantics were considered but this one was
settled on because it is easy to implement and it is usable from
pam modules.  The core reasons for the existence of unshare.

I took a survey of the callers of pam modules and the following
appears to be a representative sample of their logic.
{
	setup stuff include pam
	child = fork();
	if (!child) {
		setuid()
                exec /bin/bash
        }
        waitpid(child);

        pam and other cleanup
}

As you can see there is a fork to create the unprivileged user
space process.  Which means that the unprivileged user space
process will appear as pid 1 in the new pid namespace.  Further
most login processes do not cope with extraneous children which
means shifting the duty of reaping extraneous child process to
the creator of those extraneous children makes the system more
comprehensible.

The practical reason for this set of pid namespace semantics is
that it is simple to implement and verify they work correctly.
Whereas an implementation that requres changing the struct
pid on a process comes with a lot more races and pain.  Not
the least of which is that glibc caches getpid().

These semantics are implemented by having two notions
of the pid namespace of a proces.  There is task_active_pid_ns
which is the pid namspace the process was created with
and the pid namespace that all pids are presented to
that process in.  The task_active_pid_ns is stored
in the struct pid of the task.

Then there is the pid namespace that will be used for children
that pid namespace is stored in task->nsproxy->pid_ns.

Eric W. Biederman 1c4042c29b pidns: Consolidate initialzation of special init task state
Instead of setting child_reaper and SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE one way
for the system init process, and another way for pid namespace
init processes test pid->nr == 1 and use the same code for both.

For the global init this results in SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE being set
much earlier in the initialization process.

This is a small cleanup and it paves the way for allowing unshare and
enter of the pid namespace as that path like our global init also will
not set CLONE_NEWPID.

Eric W. Biederman 0a01f2cc39 pidns: Make the pidns proc mount/umount logic obvious.
Track the number of pids in the proc hash table.  When the number of
pids goes to 0 schedule work to unmount the kernel mount of proc.

Move the mount of proc into alloc_pid when we allocate the pid for
init.

Remove the surprising calls of pid_ns_release proc in fork and
proc_flush_task.  Those code paths really shouldn't know about proc
namespace implementation details and people have demonstrated several
times that finding and understanding those code paths is difficult and
non-obvious.

Because of the call path detach pid is alwasy called with the
rtnl_lock held free_pid is not allowed to sleep, so the work to
unmounting proc is moved to a work queue.  This has the side benefit
of not blocking the entire world waiting for the unnecessary
rcu_barrier in deactivate_locked_super.

In the process of making the code clear and obvious this fixes a bug
reported by Gao feng <gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com> where we would leak a
mount of proc during clone(CLONE_NEWPID|CLONE_NEWNET) if copy_pid_ns
succeeded and copy_net_ns failed.

Eric W. Biederman 17cf22c33e pidns: Use task_active_pid_ns where appropriate
The expressions tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns and task_active_pid_ns
aka ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) should have the same number of
cache line misses with the practical difference that
ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) is released later in a processes life.

Furthermore by using task_active_pid_ns it becomes trivial
to write an unshare implementation for the the pid namespace.

So I have used task_active_pid_ns everywhere I can.

In fork since the pid has not yet been attached to the
process I use ns_of_pid, to achieve the same effect.

Oleg Nesterov 32cdba1e05 uprobes: Use percpu_rw_semaphore to fix register/unregister vs dup_mmap() race
This was always racy, but 268720903f
"uprobes: Rework register_for_each_vma() to make it O(n)" should be
blamed anyway, it made everything worse and I didn't notice.

register/unregister call build_map_info() and then do install/remove
breakpoint for every mm which mmaps inode/offset. This can obviously
race with fork()->dup_mmap() in between and we can miss the child.

uprobe_register() could be easily fixed but unregister is much worse,
the new mm inherits "int3" from parent and there is no way to detect
this if uprobe goes away.

So this patch simply adds percpu_down_read/up_read around dup_mmap(),
and percpu_down_write/up_write into register_for_each_vma().

This adds 2 new hooks into dup_mmap() but we can kill uprobe_dup_mmap()
and fold it into uprobe_end_dup_mmap().

Tejun Heo 5edee61ede cgroup: cgroup_subsys->fork() should be called after the task is added to css_set
cgroup core has a bug which violates a basic rule about event
notifications - when a new entity needs to be added, you add that to
the notification list first and then make the new entity conform to
the current state.  If done in the reverse order, an event happening
inbetween will be lost.

cgroup_subsys->fork() is invoked way before the new task is added to
the css_set.  Currently, cgroup_freezer is the only user of ->fork()
and uses it to make new tasks conform to the current state of the
freezer.  If FROZEN state is requested while fork is in progress
between cgroup_fork_callbacks() and cgroup_post_fork(), the child
could escape freezing - the cgroup isn't frozen when ->fork() is
called and the freezer couldn't see the new task on the css_set.

This patch moves cgroup_subsys->fork() invocation to
cgroup_post_fork() after the new task is added to the css_set.
cgroup_fork_callbacks() is removed.

Because now a task may be migrated during cgroup_subsys->fork(),
freezer_fork() is updated so that it adheres to the usual RCU locking
and the rather pointless comment on why locking can be different there
is removed (if it doesn't make anything simpler, why even bother?).

Michel Lespinasse 9826a516ff mm: interval tree updates
Update the generic interval tree code that was introduced in "mm: replace
vma prio_tree with an interval tree".

Changes:

- fixed 'endpoing' typo noticed by Andrew Morton

- replaced include/linux/interval_tree_tmpl.h, which was used as a
  template (including it automatically defined the interval tree
  functions) with include/linux/interval_tree_generic.h, which only
  defines a preprocessor macro INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE(), which itself
  defines the interval tree functions when invoked. Now that is a very
  long macro which is unfortunate, but it does make the usage sites
  (lib/interval_tree.c and mm/interval_tree.c) a bit nicer than previously.

- make use of RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS() in the INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE() macro,
  instead of duplicating that code in the interval tree template.

- replaced vma_interval_tree_add(), which was actually handling the
  nonlinear and interval tree cases, with vma_interval_tree_insert_after()
  which handles only the interval tree case and has an API that is more
  consistent with the other interval tree handling functions.
  The nonlinear case is now handled explicitly in kernel/fork.c dup_mmap().

Michel Lespinasse 6b2dbba8b6 mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree
Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree.  The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA.  So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.

Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

Konstantin Khlebnikov e9714acf8c mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas
Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks
number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon
as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL.  Plus it
resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero.

VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag
MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma
splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag.  Usually binfmt module sets
mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold
mm->exe_file while task is running.

comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c4 ("procfs task exe symlink"),
where all this stuff was introduced:

exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma
split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm,
which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive.

Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour.  We can try to
remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput().

mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to
change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE).  Also via this syscall
task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

Eric Dumazet 5640f76858 net: use a per task frag allocator
We currently use a per socket order-0 page cache for tcp_sendmsg()
operations.

This page is used to build fragments for skbs.

Its done to increase probability of coalescing small write() into
single segments in skbs still in write queue (not yet sent)

But it wastes a lot of memory for applications handling many mostly
idle sockets, since each socket holds one page in sk->sk_sndmsg_page

Its also quite inefficient to build TSO 64KB packets, because we need
about 16 pages per skb on arches where PAGE_SIZE = 4096, so we hit
page allocator more than wanted.

This patch adds a per task frag allocator and uses bigger pages,
if available. An automatic fallback is done in case of memory pressure.

(up to 32768 bytes per frag, thats order-3 pages on x86)

This increases TCP stream performance by 20% on loopback device,
but also benefits on other network devices, since 8x less frags are
mapped on transmit and unmapped on tx completion. Alexander Duyck
mentioned a probable performance win on systems with IOMMU enabled.

Its possible some SG enabled hardware cant cope with bigger fragments,
but their ndo_start_xmit() should already handle this, splitting a
fragment in sub fragments, since some arches have PAGE_SIZE=65536

Successfully tested on various ethernet devices.

Oleg Nesterov f8ac4ec9c0 uprobes: Introduce MMF_HAS_UPROBES
Add the new MMF_HAS_UPROBES flag. It is set by install_breakpoint()
and it is copied by dup_mmap(), uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() checks
it to avoid the slow path if the task was never probed. Perhaps it
makes sense to check it in valid_vma(is_register => false) as well.

This needs the new dup_mmap()->uprobe_dup_mmap() hook. We can't use
uprobe_reset_state() or put MMF_HAS_UPROBES into MMF_INIT_MASK, we
need oldmm->mmap_sem to avoid the race with uprobe_register() or
mmap() from another thread.

Currently we never clear this bit, it can be false-positive after
uprobe_unregister() or uprobe_munmap() or if dup_mmap() hits the
probed VM_DONTCOPY vma. But this is fine correctness-wise and has
no effect unless the task hits the non-uprobe breakpoint.

Oleg Nesterov f1a45d0231 uprobes: Kill dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap(), simplify uprobe_mmap/munmap
1. Kill dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap(), it was only needed to calculate
   new_mm->uprobes_state.count removed by the previous patch.

   If the forking process has a pending uprobe (int3) in vma, it will
   be copied by copy_page_range(), note that it checks vma->anon_vma
   so "Don't copy ptes" is not possible after install_breakpoint()
   which does anon_vma_prepare().

2. Remove is_swbp_at_addr() and "int count" in uprobe_mmap(). Again,
   this was needed for uprobes_state.count.

   As a side effect this fixes the bug pointed out by Srikar,
   this code lacked the necessary put_uprobe().

3. uprobe_munmap() becomes a nop after the previous patch. Remove the
   meaningless code but do not remove the helper, we will need it.

Oleg Nesterov c7a3a88c93 uprobes: Fix mmap_region()'s mm->mm_rb corruption if uprobe_mmap() fails
This patch fixes:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843640

If mmap_region()->uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path
does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma
from rb tree. Actually there are more problems but this is how
William noticed this bug.

Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in
fact it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until
at least we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from
install_breakpoint() to uprobe_register().

For example, uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the
probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register()
succeeds if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail
in this case.

dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason,
fork() can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if
it wins the race and does install_breakpoint() first.

And, if nothing else, both mmap_region() and dup_mmap() return
success if uprobe_mmap() fails. Change them to ignore the error
code from uprobe_mmap().

Akinobu Mita f19b9f74b7 fork: fix error handling in dup_task()
The function dup_task() may fail at the following function calls in the
following order.

0) alloc_task_struct_node()
1) alloc_thread_info_node()
2) arch_dup_task_struct()

Error by 0) is not a matter, it can just return.  But error by 1) requires
releasing task_struct allocated by 0) before it returns.  Likewise, error
by 2) requires releasing task_struct and thread_info allocated by 0) and
1).

The existing error handling calls free_task_struct() and
free_thread_info() which do not only release task_struct and thread_info,
but also call architecture specific arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info().

The problem is that task_struct and thread_info are not fully initialized
yet at this point, but arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info() are called with them.

For example, x86 defines its own arch_release_task_struct() that releases
a task_xstate.  If alloc_thread_info_node() fails in dup_task(),
arch_release_task_struct() is called with task_struct which is just
allocated and filled with garbage in this error handling.

This actually happened with tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh

	# env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
		./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
		--min-order=0 --ignore-gfp-wait=0 \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

In order to fix this issue, make free_{task_struct,thread_info}() not to
call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() and call
arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() implicitly where needed.

Default arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are
defined as empty by default.  So this change only affects the
architectures which implement their own arch_release_task_struct() or
arch_release_thread_info() as listed below.

arch_release_task_struct(): x86, sh
arch_release_thread_info(): mn10300, tile

Linus Torvalds a66d2c8f7e Merge branch 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro:
 "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS.  What's in there:

   - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
     intents.

     The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
     Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
     fs/namei.c, we finally have it.  Unlike his variant, this one
     doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
     ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
     everything via its fields.

     Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E...  on error, 0
     on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g.  symlink
     found on server, etc.).

     See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open().  That made a lot of
     goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
     ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
     nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
     flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.

     With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
     of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
     visible in namei.h, but not for long.  Come the next cycle,
     declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
     itself.  [me, miklos, hch]

   - The second major change: behaviour of final fput().  Now we have
     __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
     in call stack.

     That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
     Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
     has immediately simplified life for aio.c).  We also don't need
     anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.

     There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
     asynchronous.  For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
     that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
     userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.

     For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
     schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure
     it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there
     might be more.

     There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's
     __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately).  I hope
     we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for
     details.  [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last
     cycle]

   - sync series from Jan

   - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only
     bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones.  As far as I understand,
     those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are
     in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread
     calling it.

   - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells).

   - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual.

  This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's
  ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes,
  so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle).  I'll probably throw
  symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.
  Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one -
  it's large enough as it is..."

Linus Torvalds 48d212a2ee Revert "mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec"
This reverts commit 40af1bbdca.

It's horribly and utterly broken for at least the following reasons:

 - calling sync_mm_rss() from mmput() is fundamentally wrong, because
   there's absolutely no reason to believe that the task that does the
   mmput() always does it on its own VM.  Example: fork, ptrace, /proc -
   you name it.

 - calling it *after* having done mmdrop() on it is doubly insane, since
   the mm struct may well be gone now.

 - testing mm against NULL before you call it is insane too, since a
NULL mm there would have caused oopses long before.

.. and those are just the three bugs I found before I decided to give up
looking for me and revert it asap.  I should have caught it before I
even took it, but I trusted Andrew too much.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 40af1bbdca mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec
mm->rss_stat counters have per-task delta: task->rss_stat.  Before
changing task->mm pointer the kernel must flush this delta with
sync_mm_rss().

do_exit() already calls sync_mm_rss() to flush the rss-counters before
committing the rss statistics into task->signal->maxrss, taskstats,
audit and other stuff.  Unfortunately the kernel does this before
calling mm_release(), which can call put_user() for processing
task->clear_child_tid.  So at this point we can trigger page-faults and
task->rss_stat becomes non-zero again.  As a result mm->rss_stat becomes
inconsistent and check_mm() will print something like this:

| BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:1 val:-1
| BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:2 val:1

This patch moves sync_mm_rss() into mm_release(), and moves mm_release()
out of do_exit() and calls it earlier.  After mm_release() there should
be no pagefaults.

Linus Torvalds fb21affa49 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal
Pull second pile of signal handling patches from Al Viro:
 "This one is just task_work_add() series + remaining prereqs for it.

  There probably will be another pull request from that tree this
  cycle - at least for helpers, to get them out of the way for per-arch
  fixes remaining in the tree."

Fix trivial conflict in kernel/irq/manage.c: the merge of Andrew's pile
had brought in commit 97fd75b7b8 ("kernel/irq/manage.c: use the
pr_foo() infrastructure to prefix printks") which changed one of the
pr_err() calls that this merge moves around.

Konstantin Khlebnikov f7505d64f2 fork: call complete_vfork_done() after clearing child_tid and flushing rss-counters
Child should wake up the parent from vfork() only after finishing all
operations with shared mm.  There is no sense in using
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID together with CLONE_VFORK, but it looks more accurate
now.

Siddhesh Poyarekar 7edc8b0ac1 mm/fork: fix overflow in vma length when copying mmap on clone
The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int,
which is insufficient and hence overflows for very large maps (beyond
16TB). The following program demonstrates this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

#define GIG 1024 * 1024 * 1024L
#define EXTENT 16393

int main(void)
{
        int i, r;
        void *m;
        char buf[1024];

        for (i = 0; i < EXTENT; i++) {
                m = mmap(NULL, (size_t) 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024L,
                         PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);

                if (m == (void *)-1)
                        printf("MMAP Failed: %d\n", m);
                else
                        printf("%d : MMAP returned %p\n", i, m);

                r = fork();

                if (r == 0) {
                        printf("%d: successed\n", i);
                        return 0;
                } else if (r < 0)
                        printf("FORK Failed: %d\n", r);
                else if (r > 0)
                        wait(NULL);
        }
        return 0;
}

Increase the storage size of the result to unsigned long, which is
sufficient for storing the difference between addresses.

Rik van Riel e709ffd616 mm: remove swap token code
The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model.  It
does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in
development, since we have only one swap token globally.

It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and
inactive anon LRU lists.

Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year
without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov.  This suggests
we no longer have much use for it.

The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over.  If
we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to
implement something that does scale.

Linus Torvalds 654443e20d Merge branch 'perf-uprobes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
 "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
  in Fedora and RHEL kernels.  This version is much rewritten, reviews
  from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.

  This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
  (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.

  Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
  calls without modifying user-space binaries.

  First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.

  If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
  from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
  within libc (binaries can be specified as well):

	$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6

  To probe libc's malloc():

	$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
	Added new event:
	probe_libc:malloc    (on 0x7eac0)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

  Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
  look very boring):

	$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make
	[ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712

  The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
  points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
  libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
  that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
  vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content.  The probe points are
  kept in an rbtree.

  If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
  then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
  perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.

  Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
  dynamic callback list of event consumers.

  The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
  original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
  specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
  The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
  entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).

  The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
  align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
  to it.

  Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
  by setting perf_paranoid to -1.

  You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
  regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

Fix up trivial conflicts in mm/memory.c due to previous cleanup of
unmap_single_vma().

Oleg Nesterov e73f8959af task_work_add: generic process-context callbacks
Provide a simple mechanism that allows running code in the (nonatomic)
context of the arbitrary task.

The caller does task_work_add(task, task_work) and this task executes
task_work->func() either from do_notify_resume() or from do_exit().  The
callback can rely on PF_EXITING to detect the latter case.

"struct task_work" can be embedded in another struct, still it has "void
*data" to handle the most common/simple case.

This allows us to kill the ->replacement_session_keyring hack, and
potentially this can have more users.

Performance-wise, this adds 2 "unlikely(!hlist_empty())" checks into
tracehook_notify_resume() and do_exit().  But at the same time we can
remove the "replacement_session_keyring != NULL" checks from
arch/*/signal.c and exit_creds().

Note: task_work_add/task_work_run abuses ->pi_lock.  This is only because
this lock is already used by lookup_pi_state() to synchronize with
do_exit() setting PF_EXITING.  Fortunately the scope of this lock in
task_work.c is really tiny, and the code is unlikely anyway.

Suresh Siddha 55ccf3fe3f fork: move the real prepare_to_copy() users to arch_dup_task_struct()
Historical prepare_to_copy() is mostly a no-op, duplicated for majority of
the architectures and the rest following the x86 model of flushing the extended
register state like fpu there.

Remove it and use the arch_dup_task_struct() instead.

Will Drewry e2cfabdfd0 seccomp: add system call filtering using BPF
[This patch depends on luto@mit.edu's no_new_privs patch:
   https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/30/264
 The whole series including Andrew's patches can be found here:
   https://github.com/redpig/linux/tree/seccomp
 Complete diff here:
   https://github.com/redpig/linux/compare/1dc65fed...seccomp
]

This patch adds support for seccomp mode 2.  Mode 2 introduces the
ability for unprivileged processes to install system call filtering
policy expressed in terms of a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) program.
This program will be evaluated in the kernel for each system call
the task makes and computes a result based on data in the format
of struct seccomp_data.

A filter program may be installed by calling:
  struct sock_fprog fprog = { ... };
  ...
  prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, &fprog);

The return value of the filter program determines if the system call is
allowed to proceed or denied.  If the first filter program installed
allows prctl(2) calls, then the above call may be made repeatedly
by a task to further reduce its access to the kernel.  All attached
programs must be evaluated before a system call will be allowed to
proceed.

Filter programs will be inherited across fork/clone and execve.
However, if the task attaching the filter is unprivileged
(!CAP_SYS_ADMIN) the no_new_privs bit will be set on the task.  This
ensures that unprivileged tasks cannot attach filters that affect
privileged tasks (e.g., setuid binary).

There are a number of benefits to this approach. A few of which are
as follows:
- BPF has been exposed to userland for a long time
- BPF optimization (and JIT'ing) are well understood
- Userland already knows its ABI: system call numbers and desired
  arguments
- No time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerable data accesses are possible.
- system call arguments are loaded on access only to minimize copying
  required for system call policy decisions.

Mode 2 support is restricted to architectures that enable
HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER.  In this patch, the primary dependency is on
syscall_get_arguments().  The full desired scope of this feature will
add a few minor additional requirements expressed later in this series.
Based on discussion, SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO and SECCOMP_RET_TRACE seem to be
the desired additional functionality.

No architectures are enabled in this patch.

Srikar Dronamraju 682968e0c4 uprobes/core: Optimize probe hits with the help of a counter
Maintain a per-mm counter: number of uprobes that are inserted
on this process address space.

This counter can be used at probe hit time to determine if we
need a lookup in the uprobes rbtree. Everytime a probe gets
inserted successfully, the probe count is incremented and
everytime a probe gets removed, the probe count is decremented.

The new uprobe_munmap hook ensures the count is correct on a
unmap or remap of a region. We expect that once a
uprobe_munmap() is called, the vma goes away.  So
uprobe_unregister() finding a probe to unregister would either
mean unmap event hasnt occurred yet or a mmap event on the same
executable file occured after a unmap event.

Additionally, uprobe_mmap hook now also gets called:

 a. on every executable vma that is COWed at fork.
 b. a vma of interest is newly mapped; breakpoint insertion also
    happens at the required address.

On process creation, make sure the probes count in the child is
set correctly.

Special cases that are taken care include:

 a. mremap
 b. VM_DONTCOPY vmas on fork()
 c. insertion/removal races in the parent during fork().

Srikar Dronamraju d4b3b6384f uprobes/core: Allocate XOL slots for uprobes use
Uprobes executes the original instruction at a probed location
out of line. For this, we allocate a page (per mm) upon the
first uprobe hit, in the process user address space, divide it
into slots that are used to store the actual instructions to be
singlestepped. These slots are known as xol (execution out of
line) slots.

Care is taken to ensure that the allocation is in an unmapped
area as close to the top of the user address space as possible,
with appropriate permission settings to keep selinux like
frameworks happy.

Upon a uprobe hit, a free slot is acquired, and is released
after the singlestep completes.

Lots of improvements courtesy suggestions/inputs from Peter and
Oleg.

Lennart Poettering ebec18a6d3 prctl: add PR_{SET,GET}_CHILD_SUBREAPER to allow simple process supervision
Userspace service managers/supervisors need to track their started
services.  Many services daemonize by double-forking and get implicitly
re-parented to PID 1.  The service manager will no longer be able to
receive the SIGCHLD signals for them, and is no longer in charge of
reaping the children with wait().  All information about the children is
lost at the moment PID 1 cleans up the re-parented processes.

With this prctl, a service manager process can mark itself as a sort of
'sub-init', able to stay as the parent for all orphaned processes
created by the started services.  All SIGCHLD signals will be delivered
to the service manager.

Receiving SIGCHLD and doing wait() is in cases of a service-manager much
preferred over any possible asynchronous notification about specific
PIDs, because the service manager has full access to the child process
data in /proc and the PID can not be re-used until the wait(), the
service-manager itself is in charge of, has happened.

As a side effect, the relevant parent PID information does not get lost
by a double-fork, which results in a more elaborate process tree and
'ps' output:

before:
  # ps afx
  253 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
  294 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd
  328 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/modem-manager
  608 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/libexec/colord
  658 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/libexec/upowerd
  819 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/libexec/imsettings-daemon
  916 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon
  917 ?        S      0:00  \_ udisks-daemon: not polling any devices

after:
  # ps afx
  294 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
  426 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd
  449 ?        S      0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/modem-manager
  635 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/colord
  705 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/upowerd
  959 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon
  960 ?        S      0:00  |   \_ udisks-daemon: not polling any devices
  977 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/packagekitd

This prctl is orthogonal to PID namespaces.  PID namespaces are isolated
from each other, while a service management process usually requires the
services to live in the same namespace, to be able to talk to each
other.

Users of this will be the systemd per-user instance, which provides
init-like functionality for the user's login session and D-Bus, which
activates bus services on-demand.  Both need init-like capabilities to
be able to properly keep track of the services they start.

Many thanks to Oleg for several rounds of review and insights.

Mel Gorman cc9a6c8776 cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3
Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when

oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.

For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.

This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side.  This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86.  The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.

While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk.  If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.

In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.  The
actual results were

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected).  The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.

For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.

To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals.  The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data.  In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.

Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

Oleg Nesterov 5f8aadd8b9 CLONE_PARENT shouldn't allow to set ->exit_signal
The child must not control its ->exit_signal, it is the parent who
decides which signal the child should use for notification.

This means that CLONE_PARENT should not use "clone_flags & CSIGNAL",
the forking task is the sibling of the new process and their parent
doesn't control exit_signal in this case.

This patch uses ->exit_signal of the forking process, but perhaps
we should simply use SIGCHLD.

We read group_leader->exit_signal lockless, this can race with the
ORIGINAL_SIGNAL -> SIGCHLD transition, but this is fine.

Potentially this change allows to kill self_exec_id/parent_exec_id.

Srikar Dronamraju 0326f5a94d uprobes/core: Handle breakpoint and singlestep exceptions
Uprobes uses exception notifiers to get to know if a thread hit
a breakpoint or a singlestep exception.

When a thread hits a uprobe or is singlestepping post a uprobe
hit, the uprobe exception notifier sets its TIF_UPROBE bit,
which will then be checked on its return to userspace path
(do_notify_resume() ->uprobe_notify_resume()), where the
consumers handlers are run (in task context) based on the
defined filters.

Uprobe hits are thread specific and hence we need to maintain
information about if a task hit a uprobe, what uprobe was hit,
the slot where the original instruction was copied for xol so
that it can be singlestepped with appropriate fixups.

In some cases, special care is needed for instructions that are
executed out of line (xol). These are architecture specific
artefacts, such as handling RIP relative instructions on x86_64.

Since the instruction at which the uprobe was inserted is
executed out of line, architecture specific fixups are added so
that the thread continues normal execution in the presence of a
uprobe.

Postpone the signals until we execute the probed insn.
post_xol() path does a recalc_sigpending() before return to
user-mode, this ensures the signal can't be lost.

Uprobes relies on DIE_DEBUG notification to notify if a
singlestep is complete.

Adds x86 specific uprobe exception notifiers and appropriate
hooks needed to determine a uprobe hit and subsequent post
processing.

Add requisite x86 fixups for xol for uprobes. Specific cases
needing fixups include relative jumps (x86_64), calls, etc.

Where possible, we check and skip singlestepping the
breakpointed instructions. For now we skip single byte as well
as few multibyte nop instructions. However this can be extended
to other instructions too.

Credits to Oleg Nesterov for suggestions/patches related to
signal, breakpoint, singlestep handling code.

Oleg Nesterov d68b46fe16 vfork: make it killable
Make vfork() killable.

Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable().  If it
fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared
with our child.

However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we
use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and
complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other.

Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we
could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs
some complications.

NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of
CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including
SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.

However this is obviously the user-visible change.  Not only a fatal
signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or
exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

Oleg Nesterov d80e731eca epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush ->signalfd_wqh before kfree()
This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.

epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand
which is not connected to the file.

This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.

__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.

ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.

The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.

In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.

Note:

	- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
	  is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.

	- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
	  we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
	  make sure it can't be "lost".

  - A few cfq fixes from Shaohua Li.

  - A fix for bsg sysfs warning when removing a file it did not create
    from Stanislaw Gruszka.

  - Two fixes for floppy from Vivek, preventing a crash.

  - A few block core fixes from Tejun.  One killing the over-optimized

put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid
deferring ioc release to workqueue.  It was also broken on UP because
trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced
preemption count.

While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most
pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit
loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the
optimization.  Strip it out.  If there turns out to be workloads which
are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion
thread can be applied later.

Audit entry,always rules are not allowed and are automatically changed in
exit,always rules in userspace.  The kernel refuses to load such rules.

Thus a task in the middle of a syscall (and thus in audit_finish_fork())
can only be in one of two states: AUDIT_BUILD_CONTEXT or AUDIT_DISABLED.
Since the current task cannot be in AUDIT_RECORD_CONTEXT we aren't every
going to actually use the code in audit_finish_fork() since it will
return without doing anything.  Thus drop the code.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 43d2b11324 tracepoint: add tracepoints for debugging oom_score_adj
oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer.  One of
problem is that it's inherited at fork().  When a daemon set oom_score_adj
and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set.

This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds
3 trace points.
  - creating new task
  - renaming a task (exec)
  - set oom_score_adj

To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as

# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable

output will be like this.
# grep oom /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
bash-7699  [007] d..3  5140.744510: oom_score_adj_update: pid=7699 comm=bash oom_score_adj=-1000

Wu Fengguang 83712358ba writeback: dirty ratelimit - think time compensation
Compensate the task's think time when computing the final pause time,
so that ->dirty_ratelimit can be executed accurately.

        think time := time spend outside of balance_dirty_pages()

In the rare case that the task slept longer than the 200ms period time
(result in negative pause time), the sleep time will be compensated in
the following periods, too, if it's less than 1 second.

Accumulated errors are carefully avoided as long as the max pause area
is not hitted.

Pseudo code:

        period = pages_dirtied / task_ratelimit;
        think = jiffies - dirty_paused_when;
        pause = period - think;

1) normal case: period > think

        pause = period - think
        dirty_paused_when = jiffies + pause
        nr_dirtied = 0

                             period time
              |===============================>|
                  think time      pause time
              |===============>|==============>|
        ------|----------------|---------------|------------------------
        dirty_paused_when   jiffies

2) no pause case: period <= think

        don't pause; reduce future pause time by:
        dirty_paused_when += period
        nr_dirtied = 0

                           period time
              |===============================>|
                                  think time

Tejun Heo b2efa05265 block, cfq: unlink cfq_io_context's immediately
cic is association between io_context and request_queue.  A cic is
linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one
goes away.  As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a
bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the
other.

Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU.
ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are
also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without
grabbing lock.

This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely
fragile convolution.  e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too
soon after ioc and q exits raced.

  [<ffffffff81b02f2b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

The only real hot path here is cic lookup during request
initialization and avoiding extra locking requires very confined use
of RCU.  This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue
perform double-locking and unlink immediately.

* From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside
  queue_lock.  It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks
  cic_list and unlink it.

* From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock
  order.  ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the
  matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing.

  Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is
  optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is
  by far the most common case.  If the ioc accessed multiple devices,
  it tries with trylock.  In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it
  falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue.

Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far*
simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any
meaningful overhead.

This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics.  Future patches
will trim them.

-v2: Vivek pointed out that cic->q was being dereferenced after
     cic->release() was called.  Updated to use local variable @this_q
     instead.

Tejun Heo 6e736be7f2 block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and fix race on alloction
Ignoring copy_io() during fork, io_context can be allocated from two
places - current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio().  The former is
always called from local task while the latter can be called from
different task.  The synchornization between them are peculiar and
dubious.

* current_io_context() doesn't grab task_lock() and assumes that if it
  saw %NULL ->io_context, it would stay that way until allocation and
  assignment is complete.  It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and
  assignment.

* set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does
  smp_read_barrier_depends() between "ioc = task->io_context" and "if
  (ioc)".  Unfortunately, this doesn't achieve anything - the latter
  is not a dependent load of the former.  ie, if ioc itself were being
  dereferenced "ioc->xxx", it would mean something (not sure what tho)
  but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is
  noop.

As only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock()
protected, the task_lock() can't do much about race between the two.
Nothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating
its own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other's.

Also, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new
ioc after exit_io_context() is finished.

ioc get/put doesn't have any reason to be complex.  The only hot path
is accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve
given that ->io_context is never destroyed as long as the task is
alive.  All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all
other task sub structures without impacting anything.

This patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional.

* alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context().  This is
  the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task.
  On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which
  should be put using put_io_context() afterwards.

* The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when
  creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with
  get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock().

* get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the
  caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit
  %current one).

* PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once
  exit_io_context() is finished, it's guaranteed that both ioc
  acquisition functions return %NULL.

* All users are updated.  Most are trivial but
  smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a
  bit of explanation.  I suppose the original intention was to ensure
  ioc->ioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new
  io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn't have worked
  because set_task_ioprio() doesn't have wmb between init and install.
  There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another
  patch.

* While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node
  specification.

Tejun Heo a3201227f8 freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE
Using TIF_FREEZE for freezing worked when there was only single
freezing condition (the PM one); however, now there is also the
cgroup_freezer and single bit flag is getting clumsy.
thaw_processes() is already testing whether cgroup freezing in in
effect to avoid thawing tasks which were frozen by both PM and cgroup
freezers.

This is racy (nothing prevents race against cgroup freezing) and
fragile.  A much simpler way is to test actual freeze conditions from
freezing() - ie. directly test whether PM or cgroup freezing is in
effect.

This patch adds variables to indicate whether and what type of
freezing conditions are in effect and reimplements freezing() such
that it directly tests whether any of the two freezing conditions is
active and the task should freeze.  On fast path, freezing() is still
very cheap - it only tests system_freezing_cnt.

This makes the clumsy dancing aroung TIF_FREEZE unnecessary and
freeze/thaw operations more usual - updating state variables for the
new state and nudging target tasks so that they notice the new state
and comply.  As long as the nudging happens after state update, it's
race-free.

* This allows use of freezing() in freeze_task().  Replace the open
  coded tests with freezing().

* p != current test is added to warning printing conditions in
  try_to_freeze_tasks() failure path.  This is necessary as freezing()
  is now true for the task which initiated freezing too.

     system_freezing_cnt.  Fixed.
