When running with GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=y, the locking implementations emit
calls to arch_{read,write,spin}_relax when spinning on a contended lock
in order to allow architectures to favour the CPU owning the lock if
possible.
In reality, everybody apart from PowerPC and S390 just does cpu_relax()
here, so make that the default behaviour and allow it to be overridden
if required.

I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings:
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" *
The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat,
since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel
addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they
might not be exploitable.
For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse
that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel
buffers, and will fail immediately afterward.
The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the
access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could
lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures
map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I
wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every
architectures.

Now hugepage migration is enabled, although restricted on pmd-based
hugepages for now (due to lack of testing.) So we should allocate
migratable hugepages from ZONE_MOVABLE if possible.
This patch makes GFP flags in hugepage allocation dependent on migration
support, not only the value of hugepages_treat_as_movable. It provides no
change on the behavior for architectures which do not support hugepage

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.

Commit 8382fcac1b ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after

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)
{

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."

This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in
two main ways:
* Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU
lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version.
It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs
(for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in
the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you
have any issues.
* The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and
transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to
manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we
are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed
with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like
it has been doing.
Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru
locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a
global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this
change.
Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to
independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were
performance tested (details at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no
visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative
behavior in NUMA machines.
With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to
provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically,
those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents
only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time,
so we can focus on getting this part tested. You can see more about the
history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/
Dave Chinner (18):
dcache: convert dentry_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu counters
dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks
dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list
mm: new shrinker API
shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API
list: add a new LRU list type
inode: convert inode lru list to generic lru list code.
dcache: convert to use new lru list infrastructure
list_lru: per-node list infrastructure
shrinker: add node awareness
fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware
xfs: convert buftarg LRU to generic code
xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking
xfs: convert dquot cache lru to list_lru
fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API
drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API
shrinker: convert remaining shrinkers to count/scan API
shrinker: Kill old ->shrink API.
Glauber Costa (7):
fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long
super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers
list_lru: per-node API
vmscan: per-node deferred work
i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex
hugepage: convert huge zero page shrinker to new shrinker API
list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays
This patch:
There are situations in very large machines in which we can have a large
quantity of dirty inodes, unused dentries, etc. This is particularly true
when umounting a filesystem, where eventually since every live object will
eventually be discarded.
Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the
shrinker revamp patchset. So we believe it is time for a change. This
patch just moves int to longs. Machines where it matters should have a
big long anyway.

The function debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() is part of the RCU lockdep
debugging, and is called very frequently. I found that if I enable
a lot of debugging and run the function graph tracer, this
function can cause a live lock of the system.
We don't usually trace lockdep infrastructure, no need to trace
this either.

Main changes on the perf tooling side (some of these tooling changes
utilize the above kernel side changes):
- Lots of 'perf trace' enhancements:
. Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with
'perf record', by David Ahern.
. Allow specifying syscalls a la strace, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Add --verbose and -o/--output options, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Support ! in -e expressions, to filter a list of syscalls,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex
syscalls, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Add option to analyze events in a file versus live, so that
one can do:
[root@zoo ~]# perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 25.150 MB perf.data (~1098836 samples) ]

far beautifiers for mmap, madvise, syscall return values,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Handle HUGEPAGE defines in the mmap beautifier, by David Ahern.
- 'perf report/top' enhancements:
. Do annotation using /proc/kcore and /proc/kallsyms when
available, removing the forced need for a vmlinux file kernel
assembly annotation. This also improves this use case because
vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.
By Adrian Hunter.
. Add --ignore-callees=<regex> option to collapse undesired parts
of call graphs, by Greg Price.

event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.
By Michael Ellerman.

scale_stime() silently assumes that stime < rtime, otherwise
when stime == rtime and both values are big enough (operations
on them do not fit in 32 bits), the resulting scaling stime can
be bigger than rtime. In consequence utime = rtime - stime
results in negative value.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on the cgroup front. Most changes aren't visible
to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
planned unified hierarchy.
- The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
(cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers
(cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.
Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed,
which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that
decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.
- cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high
flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward,
new events will simply generate file modified event and the
existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg. This pull
request contains prepatory patches for such change.
- Various fixes and cleanups"

There's a slight race when going from a list function to a non list
function. That is, when only one callback is registered to the function
tracer, it gets called directly by the mcount trampoline. But if this
function has filters, it may be called by the wrong functions.
As the list ops callback that handles multiple callbacks that are
registered to ftrace, it also handles what functions they call. While
the transaction is taking place, use the list function always, and
after all the updates are finished (only the functions that should be
traced are being traced), then we can update the trampoline to call
the function directly.

Adds a new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type which is essence
an expanded version of PERF_RECORD_MMAP.
Used to request mmap records with more information about
the mapping, including device major, minor and the inode
number and generation for mappings associated with files
or shared memory segments. Works for code and data
(with attr->mmap_data set).
Existing PERF_RECORD_MMAP record is unmodified by this patch.

I found that on my WSM box I had a redundant domain:
[ 0.949769] CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
[ 0.953765] domain 0: span 0,12 level SIBLING
[ 0.958335] groups: 0 (cpu_power = 587) 12 (cpu_power = 588)
[ 0.964548] domain 1: span 0-5,12-17 level MC
[ 0.969206] groups: 0,12 (cpu_power = 1175) 1,13 (cpu_power = 1176) 2,14 (cpu_power = 1176) 3,15 (cpu_power = 1176) 4,16 (cpu_power = 1176) 5,17 (cpu_power = 1176)
[ 0.984993] domain 2: span 0-5,12-17 level CPU
[ 0.989822] groups: 0-5,12-17 (cpu_power = 7055)
[ 0.995049] domain 3: span 0-23 level NUMA
[ 0.999620] groups: 0-5,12-17 (cpu_power = 7055) 6-11,18-23 (cpu_power = 7056)
Note how domain 2 has only a single group and spans the same CPUs as
domain 1. We should not keep such domains and do in fact have code to
prune these.
It turns out that the 'new' SD_PREFER_SIBLING flag causes this, it
makes sd_parent_degenerate() fail on the CPU domain. We can easily
fix this by 'ignoring' the SD_PREFER_SIBLING bit and transfering it
to whatever domain ends up covering the span.
With this patch the domains now look like this:
[ 0.950419] CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
[ 0.954454] domain 0: span 0,12 level SIBLING
[ 0.959039] groups: 0 (cpu_power = 587) 12 (cpu_power = 588)

We can shrink sg_lb_stats because rq::nr_running is an unsigned int
and cpu numbers are 'int'
Before:
sgs: /* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 10 */
sds: /* size: 184, cachelines: 3, members: 7 */
After:
sgs: /* size: 56, cachelines: 1, members: 10 */
sds: /* size: 152, cachelines: 3, members: 7 */
Further we can avoid clearing all of sds since we do a total
clear/assignment of sg_stats in update_sg_lb_stats() with exception of
busiest_stat.avg_load which is referenced in update_sd_pick_busiest().

There is no reason to maintain separate variables for this_group
and busiest_group in sd_lb_stat, except saving some space.
But this structure is always allocated in stack, so this saving
isn't really benificial [peterz: reducing stack space is good; in this
case readability increases enough that I think its still beneficial]
This patch unify these variables, so IMO, readability may be improved.

Now checking whether this cpu is appropriate to balance or not
is embedded into update_sg_lb_stats() and this checking has no direct
relationship to this function. There is not enough reason to place
this checking at update_sg_lb_stats(), except saving one iteration
for sched_group_cpus.
In this patch, I factor out this checking to should_we_balance() function.
And before doing actual work for load_balancing, check whether this cpu is
appropriate to balance via should_we_balance(). If this cpu is not
a candidate for balancing, it quit the work immediately.
With this change, we can save two memset cost and can expect better
compiler optimization.

The reason is a race in perf_event_task_tick() throttling code.
The race flow (simplified code):
- perf_throttled_count is per cpu variable and is
CPU throttling flag, here starting with 0
- perf_throttled_seq is sequence/domain for allowed
count of interrupts within the tick, gets increased
each tick
on single CPU (CPU bounded event):
... workload
perf_event_task_tick:
|
| T0 inc(perf_throttled_seq)
| T1 needs_unthr = xchg(perf_throttled_count, 0) == 0
tick gets interrupted:
... event gets throttled under new seq ...
T2 last NMI comes, event is throttled - inc(perf_throttled_count)
back to tick:
| perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context:
|
| T3 unthrottling is skiped for event (needs_unthr == 0)
| T4 event is stop and started via freq adjustment
|
tick ends
... workload
... no sample is hit for event ...
perf_event_task_tick:
|
| T5 needs_unthr = xchg(perf_throttled_count, 0) != 0 (from T2)
| T6 unthrottling is done on event (interrupts == MAX_INTERRUPTS)
| event is already started (from T4) -> WARN
Fixing this by not checking needs_unthr again and thus
check all events for unthrottling.

Because RCU's quiescent-state-forcing mechanism is used to drive the
full-system-idle state machine, and because this mechanism is executed
by RCU's grace-period kthreads, this commit forces these kthreads to
run on the timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu). To do otherwise would
mean that the RCU grace-period kthreads would force the system into
non-idle state every time they drove the state machine, which would
be just a bit on the futile side.

This commit adds the state machine that takes the per-CPU idle data
as input and produces a full-system-idle indication as output. This
state machine is driven out of RCU's quiescent-state-forcing
mechanism, which invokes rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() to collect per-CPU
idle state and then rcu_sysidle_report() to drive the state machine.
The full-system-idle state is sampled using rcu_sys_is_idle(), which
also drives the state machine if RCU is idle (and does so by forcing
RCU to become non-idle). This function returns true if all but the
timekeeping CPU (tick_do_timer_cpu) are idle and have been idle long
enough to avoid memory contention on the full_sysidle_state state
variable. The rcu_sysidle_force_exit() may be called externally
to reset the state machine back into non-idle state.
For large systems the state machine is driven out of RCU's
force-quiescent-state logic, which provides good scalability at the price
of millisecond-scale latencies on the transition to full-system-idle
state. This is not so good for battery-powered systems, which are usually
small enough that they don't need to care about scalability, but which
do care deeply about energy efficiency. Small systems therefore drive
the state machine directly out of the idle-entry code. The number of
CPUs in a "small" system is defined by a new NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL
Kconfig parameter, which defaults to 8. Note that this is a build-time
definition.

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,

Since all of the memory hotplug operations have to be carried out
under device_hotplug_lock, they won't need to acquire pm_mutex if
device_hotplug_lock is held around hibernation.
For this reason, make the hibernation code acquire
device_hotplug_lock after freezing user space processes and
release it before thawing them. At the same tim drop the
lock_system_sleep() and unlock_system_sleep() calls from
lock_memory_hotplug() and unlock_memory_hotplug(), respectively.

The hibernation core uses special memory bitmaps during image
creation and restoration and traditionally those bitmaps are
allocated before freezing tasks, because in the past GFP_KERNEL
allocations might not work after all tasks had been frozen.
However, this is an anachronism, because hibernation_snapshot()
now calls hibernate_preallocate_memory() which allocates memory
for the image upfront anyway, so the memory bitmaps may be
allocated after freezing user space safely.
For this reason, move all of the create_basic_memory_bitmaps()
calls after freeze_processes() and all of the corresponding
free_basic_memory_bitmaps() calls before thaw_processes().
This will allow us to hold device_hotplug_lock around hibernation
without the need to worry about freezing issues with user space
processes attempting to acquire it via sysfs attributes after the
creation of memory bitmaps and before the freezing of tasks.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) There was a simplification in the ipv6 ndisc packet sending
attempted here, which avoided using memory accounting on the
per-netns ndisc socket for sending NDISC packets. It did fix some
important issues, but it causes regressions so it gets reverted here
too. Specifically, the problem with this change is that the IPV6
output path really depends upon there being a valid skb->sk
attached.
The reason we want to do this change in some form when we figure out
how to do it right, is that if a device goes down the ndisc_sk
socket send queue will fill up and block NDISC packets that we want
to send to other devices too. That's really bad behavior.
Hopefully Thomas can come up with a better version of this change.
2) Fix a severe TCP performance regression by reverting a change made
to dev_pick_tx() quite some time ago. From Eric Dumazet.
3) TIPC returns wrongly signed error codes, fix from Erik Hugne.

The issue is that when the task group leader of an init process exits
before other tasks of the init process when the init process finally
exits it will be a secondary task sleeping in zap_pid_ns_processes and
waiting to wake up when the number of hashed pids drops to two. This
case waits forever as free_pid only sends a wake up when the number of
hashed pids drops to 1.
To correct this the simple strategy of sending a possibly unncessary
wake up when the number of hashed pids drops to 2 is adopted.
Sending one extraneous wake up is relatively harmless, at worst we
waste a little cpu time in the rare case when a pid namespace
appropaches exiting.
We can detect the case when the pid namespace drops to just two pids
hashed race free in free_pid.
Dereferencing pid_ns->child_reaper with the pidmap_lock held is safe
without out the tasklist_lock because it is guaranteed that the
detach_pid will be called on the child_reaper before it is freed and
detach_pid calls __change_pid which calls free_pid which takes the
pidmap_lock. __change_pid only calls free_pid if this is the
last use of the pid. For a thread that is not the thread group leader
the threads pid will only ever have one user because a threads pid
is not allowed to be the pid of a process, of a process group or
a session. For a thread that is a thread group leader all of
the other threads of that process will be reaped before it is allowed
for the thread group leader to be reaped ensuring there will only
be one user of the threads pid as a process pid. Furthermore
because the thread is the init process of a pid namespace all of the
other processes in the pid namespace will have also been already freed
leading to the fact that the pid will not be used as a session pid or
a process group pid for any other running process.

Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"During the percpu reference counting update which was merged during
v3.11-rc1, the cgroup destruction path was updated so that a cgroup in
the process of dying may linger on the children list, which was
necessary as the cgroup should still be included in child/descendant
iteration while percpu ref is being killed.
Unfortunately, I forgot to update cgroup destruction path accordingly
and cgroup destruction may fail spuriously with -EBUSY due to
lingering dying children even when there's no live child left - e.g.
"rmdir parent/child parent" will usually fail.
This can be easily fixed by iterating through the children list to
verify that there's no live child left. While this is very late in
the release cycle, this bug is very visible to userland and I believe
the fix is relatively safe.
Thanks Hugh for spotting and providing fix for the issue"

cgroup: fix rmdir EBUSY regression in 3.11
The event stream is not always parsable because the format of a sample
is dependent on the sample_type of the selected event. When there is
more than one selected event and the sample_types are not the same then
parsing becomes problematic. A sample can be matched to its selected
event using the ID that is allocated when the event is opened.
Unfortunately, to get the ID from the sample means first parsing it.
This patch adds a new sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFER that puts
the ID at a fixed position so that the ID can be retrieved without
parsing the sample. For sample events, that is the first position
immediately after the header. For non-sample events, that is the last
position.
In this respect parsing samples requires that the sample_type and ID
values are recorded. For example, perf tools records struct
perf_event_attr and the IDs within the perf.data file. Those must be
read first before it is possible to parse samples found later in the
perf.data file.

On 3.11-rc we are seeing cgroup directories left behind when they should
have been removed. Here's a trivial reproducer:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
mkdir parent parent/child; rmdir parent/child parent
rmdir: failed to remove `parent': Device or resource busy
It's because cgroup_destroy_locked() (step 1 of destruction) leaves
cgroup on parent's children list, letting cgroup_offline_fn() (step 2 of
destruction) remove it; but step 2 is run by work queue, which may not
yet have removed the children when parent destruction checks the list.
Fix that by checking through a non-empty list of children: if every one
of them has already been marked CGRP_DEAD, then it's safe to proceed:
those children are invisible to userspace, and should not obstruct rmdir.
(I didn't see any reason to keep the cgrp->children checks under the
unrelated css_set_lock, so moved them out.)

If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU.
This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is
waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such
self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging
the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for
that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from
happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock.
Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around
scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one
port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right
timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying
to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has
an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to
stop_machine.
Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

Refactor the test into a function named fs_fully_visible and call that

When cgroup files are created, cgroup core automatically prepends the
name of the subsystem as prefix. This patch adds CFTYPE_NO_ which
disables the automatic prefix. This is to work around historical
baggages and shouldn't be used for new files.
This will be used to move "cgroup.event_control" from cgroup core to
memcg.

cgroup_css() is no longer used in hot paths. Make it take struct
cgroup_subsys * and allow the users to specify NULL subsys to obtain
the dummy_css. This removes open-coded NULL subsystem testing in a
couple users and generally simplifies the code.
After this patch, css_from_dir() also allows NULL @ss and returns the
matching dummy_css. This behavior change doesn't affect its only user
- perf.

cgroup_css_from_dir() will grow another user. In preparation, make
the following changes.
* All css functions are prefixed with just "css_", rename it to
css_from_dir().
* Take dentry * instead of file * as dentry is what ultimately
identifies a cgroup and file may not always be available. Note that
the function now checkes whether @dentry->d_inode is NULL as the
caller now may specify a negative dentry.
* Make it take cgroup_subsys * instead of integer subsys_id. This
simplifies the function and allows specifying no subsystem for
cgroup->dummy_css.
* Make return section a bit less verbose.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

Pull cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"A late fix for cgroup.
This fixes a behavior regression visible to userland which was created
by a commit merged during -rc1. While the behavior change isn't too
likely to be noticeable, the fix is relatively low risk and we'll need
to backport it through -stable anyway if the bug gets released"

Move trace_module_nb under CONFIG_MODULES and kill the dummy
trace_module_notify(). Imho it doesn't make sense to define
"struct notifier_block" and its .notifier_call just to avoid
"ifdef" in event_trace_init(), and all other !CONFIG_MODULES
code has already gone away.

trace_create_file_ops() allocates the copy of id/filter/format/enable
file_operations to set "f_op->owner = mod" for fops_get().
However after the recent changes there is no reason to prevent rmmod
even if one of these files is opened. A file operation can do nothing
but fail after remove_event_file_dir() clears ->i_private for every
file removed by trace_module_remove_events().
Kill "struct ftrace_module_file_ops" and fix the compilation errors.

There are getting to be too many module parameters to permit the current

Currently, rcutorture has separate torture_types to test synchronous,
asynchronous, and expedited grace-period primitives. This has
two disadvantages: (1) Three times the number of runs to cover the
combinations and (2) Little testing of concurrent combinations of the
three options. This commit therefore adds a pair of module parameters
that control normal and expedited state, with the default being both
types, randomly selected, by the fakewriter processes, thus reducing
source-code size and increasing test coverage. In addtion, the writer
task switches between asynchronous-normal and expedited grace-period
primitives driven by the same pair of module parameters.
