In struct cred the user member is and has always been declared struct user_struct *user.
At most a constant struct cred will have a constant pointer to non-constant user_struct

Pull perf updates and fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"It's mostly fixes, but there's also two late items:
- preliminary GTK GUI support for perf report
- PMU raw event format descriptors in sysfs, to be parsed by tooling
The raw event format in sysfs is a new ABI. For example for the 'CPU'
PMU we have:
aldebaran:~> ll /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/*
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/any
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/cmask
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/edge
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/inv
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/pc
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/umask
those lists of fields contain a specific format:
aldebaran:~> cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
config1:0-63
So, those who wish to specify raw events can now use the following
event format:
-e cpu/cmask=1,event=2,umask=3
Most people will not want to specify any events (let alone raw
events), they'll just use whatever default event the tools use.
But for more obscure PMU events that have no cross-architecture
generic events the above syntax is more usable and a bit more
structured than specifying hex numbers."

The function for_each_cpu_mask() expects a *pointer* to struct
cpumask as its second argument, whereas select_fallback_rq()
passes the value itself.
And moreover, for_each_cpu_mask() has been marked as obselete
in include/linux/cpumask.h. So move to the more appropriate
for_each_cpu() variant.

the redundant copy, we also fail to adjust the thread affinity of an

Pull urgent cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"Commit 61d1d219c4 ('cgroup: remove extra calls to
find_existing_css_set') which was part of the rc1 cgroup pull request
made writes to the cgroup "tasks" file return an uninitialized retval
on success which can cause boot failures with systemd.
The change stayed in linux-next for quite some time but gcc
interestingly failed to emit warning about using uninitialized
variable and the problem seems to materialize only for certain build
combinations (probably depends on register allocation).
It's just missing local variable initialization and the fix is trivial
& safe. As the problem is critical when it materializes, I'm
fast-tracking it. Also included is Li's email address change in
MAINTAINERS."
* 'for-3.4-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
cgroup: cgroup_attach_task() could return -errno after success
cgroup: update MAINTAINERS entry
61d1d219c4 "cgroup: remove extra calls to find_existing_css_set" made
cgroup_task_migrate() return void. An unfortunate side effect was
that cgroup_attach_task() was depending on that function's return
value to clear its @retval on the success path. On cgroup mounts
without any subsystem with ->can_attach() callback,
cgroup_attach_task() ended up returning @retval without initializing
it on success.
For some reason, gcc failed to warn about it and it didn't cause
cgroup_attach_task() to return non-zero value in many cases, probably
due to difference in register allocation. When the problem
materializes, systemd fails to populate /systemd cgroup mount and
fails to boot.
Fix it by initializing @retval to zero on declaration.

It was possible to extract the robust list head address from a setuid
process if it had used set_robust_list(), allowing an ASLR info leak. This
changes the permission checks to be the same as those used for similar
info that comes out of /proc.
Running a setuid program that uses robust futexes would have had:
cred->euid != pcred->euid
cred->euid == pcred->uid
so the old permissions check would allow it. I'm not aware of any setuid
programs that use robust futexes, so this is just a preventative measure.

The only place irq_finalize_oneshot() is called with force parameter set
is the threaded handler error exit path. But IRQTF_RUNTHREAD is dropped
at this point and irq_wake_thread() is not going to set it again,
since PF_EXITING is set for this thread already. So irq_finalize_oneshot()
will drop the threads bit in threads_oneshot anyway and hence the force
parameter is superfluous.

exit_irq_thread() clears IRQTF_RUNTHREAD flag and drops the thread's bit in
desc->threads_oneshot then. The bit must not be set again in between and it
does not, since irq_wake_thread() sees PF_EXITING flag first and returns.
Due to above the order or checking PF_EXITING and IRQTF_RUNTHREAD flags in
irq_wake_thread() is important. This change just makes it more visible in the
source code.

If schedule is called from an interrupt handler __schedule_bug()
will call show_regs() with the registers saved during the
interrupt handling done in do_IRQ(). This means we'll see the
registers and the backtrace for the process that was interrupted
and not the full backtrace explaining who called schedule().
This is due to 838225b ("sched: use show_regs() to improve
__schedule_bug() output", 2007-10-24) which improperly assumed
that get_irq_regs() would return the registers for the current
stack because it is being called from within an interrupt
handler. Simply remove the show_reg() code so that we dump a
backtrace for the interrupt handler that called schedule().
[ I ran across this when I was presented with a scheduling while
atomic log with a stacktrace pointing at spin_unlock_irqrestore().
It made no sense and I had to guess what interrupt handler could
be called and poke around for someone calling schedule() in an
interrupt handler. A simple test of putting an msleep() in
an interrupt handler works better with this patch because you
can actually see the msleep() call in the backtrace. ]

In the case of a child pid namespace, rebooting the system does not really
makes sense. When the pid namespace is used in conjunction with the other
namespaces in order to create a linux container, the reboot syscall leads
to some problems.
A container can reboot the host. That can be fixed by dropping the
sys_reboot capability but we are unable to correctly to poweroff/
halt/reboot a container and the container stays stuck at the shutdown time
with the container's init process waiting indefinitively.
After several attempts, no solution from userspace was found to reliabily
handle the shutdown from a container.
This patch propose to make the init process of the child pid namespace to
exit with a signal status set to : SIGINT if the child pid namespace
called "halt/poweroff" and SIGHUP if the child pid namespace called
"reboot". When the reboot syscall is called and we are not in the initial
pid namespace, we kill the pid namespace for "HALT", "POWEROFF",
"RESTART", and "RESTART2". Otherwise we return EINVAL.
Returning EINVAL is also an easy way to check if this feature is supported
by the kernel when invoking another 'reboot' option like CAD.
By this way the parent process of the child pid namespace knows if it
rebooted or not and can take the right decision.

Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask() and
calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied as a
parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu.
The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a time
via smp_call_function_single().
The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific code that
decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for a specific request
from the common boilerplate code of handling creating the mask, handling
failures etc.

We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems
such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task:
cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter.
Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs
for various needs. These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided
altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific
CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system.
This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic
Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying
to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls
are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group
of CPUs. The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the
right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is
even worth dealing with at all. Based on the feedback from this patch set
I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code
paths.
This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond()
infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific
versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI
invocation to per CPU group invocations.
Core kernel:
on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask,
which may or may not include the local processor.
You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.
arch/arm:
Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one:
1. It has the mask as first parameter
2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled,
but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
with interrupts disabled anyway.
arch/tile:
The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version
also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case
This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
with interrupts disabled.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

When reading the trace file, the records of each of the per_cpu buffers
are examined to find the next event to print out. At the point of looking
at the event, the size of the event is recorded. But if the first event is
chosen, the other events in the other CPU buffers will reset the event size
that is stored in the iterator descriptor, causing the event size passed to
the output functions to be incorrect.
In most cases this is not a problem, but for the case of stack traces, it
is. With the change to the stack tracing to record a dynamic number of
back traces, the output depends on the size of the entry instead of the
fixed 8 back traces. When the entry size is not correct, the back traces
would not be fully printed.
Note, reading from the per-cpu trace files were not affected.

Avoid extra work by continuing on to the next rt_rq if the highest
prio task in current rt_rq is the same priority as our candidate
task.
More detailed explanation: if next is not NULL, then we have found a
candidate task, and its priority is next->prio. Now we are looking
for an even higher priority task in the other rt_rq's. idx is the
highest priority in the current candidate rt_rq. In the current 3.3
code, if idx is equal to next->prio, we would start scanning the tasks
in that rt_rq and replace the current candidate task with a task from
that rt_rq. But the new task would only have a priority that is equal
to our previous candidate task, so we have not advanced our goal of
finding a higher prio task. So we should avoid the extra work by
continuing on to the next rt_rq if idx is equal to next->prio.

Commit 5fbd036b55 ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness"), which was
supposed to finally sort the cpu_active mess, instead uncovered more.
Since CPU_STARTING is ran before setting the cpu online, there's a
(small) window where the cpu has active,!online.
If during this time there's a wakeup of a task that used to reside on
that cpu select_task_rq() will use select_fallback_rq() to compute an
alternative cpu to run on since we find !online.
select_fallback_rq() however will compute the new cpu against
cpu_active, this means that it can return the same cpu it started out
with, the !online one, since that cpu is in fact marked active.
This results in us trying to scheduling a task on an offline cpu and
triggering a WARN in the IPI code.
The solution proposed by Chuansheng Liu of setting cpu_active in
set_cpu_online() is buggy, firstly not all archs actually use
set_cpu_online(), secondly, not all archs call set_cpu_online() with
IRQs disabled, this means we would introduce either the same race or
the race from fd8a7de17 ("x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on
wrong CPU") -- albeit much narrower.
[ By setting online first and active later we have a window of
online,!active, fresh and bound kthreads have task_cpu() of 0 and
since cpu0 isn't in tsk_cpus_allowed() we end up in
select_fallback_rq() which excludes !active, resulting in a reset
of ->cpus_allowed and the thread running all over the place. ]
The solution is to re-work select_fallback_rq() to require active
_and_ online. This makes the active,!online case work as expected,
OTOH archs running CPU_STARTING after setting online are now
vulnerable to the issue from fd8a7de17 -- these are alpha and
blackfin.

- Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity.
Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing
network devices.
sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully
this means the code is now approachable.
Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
something was found that was usable.

is fixed.

As Tetsuo Handa pointed out, request_module() can stress the system
while the oom-killed caller sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.
The task T uses "almost all" memory, then it does something which
triggers request_module(). Say, it can simply call sys_socket(). This
in turn needs more memory and leads to OOM. oom-killer correctly
chooses T and kills it, but this can't help because it sleeps in
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and after that oom-killer becomes "disabled" by the
TIF_MEMDIE task T.
Make __request_module() killable. The only necessary change is that
call_modprobe() should kmalloc argv and module_name, they can't live in
the stack if we use UMH_KILLABLE. This memory is freed via
call_usermodehelper_freeinfo()->cleanup.
