Those functions that use NODEMASK_ALLOC() can't propagate errno
to users, but will fail silently.
Fix it by using a static nodemask_t variable for each function, and
those variables are protected by cgroup_mutex;

oldcs->mems_allowed is not modified during cpuset_attach(), so we don't
have to copy it to a buffer allocated by NODEMASK_ALLOC(). Just pass it
to cpuset_migrate_mm().

It's not necessary to copy cpuset->mems_allowed to a buffer allocated by
NODEMASK_ALLOC(). Just pass it to nodelist_scnprintf().
As spotted by Paul, a side effect is we fix a bug that the function can
return -ENOMEM but the caller doesn't expect negative return value.
Therefore change the return value of cpuset_sprintf_cpulist() and
cpuset_sprintf_memlist() from int to size_t.

In struct page_cgroup, we have a full word for flags but only a few are
reserved. Use the remaining upper bits to encode, depending on
configuration, the node or the section, to enable page_cgroup-to-page
lookups without a direct pointer.
This saves a full word for every page in a system with memory cgroups
enabled.

The timekeeping subsystem uses a sysdev class and a sysdev for
executing timekeeping_suspend() after interrupts have been turned off
on the boot CPU (during system suspend) and for executing
timekeeping_resume() before turning on interrupts on the boot CPU
(during system resume). However, since both of these functions
ignore their arguments, the entire mechanism may be replaced with a
struct syscore_ops object which is simpler.

The maximum kilobytes of locked memory that an unprivileged user
can reserve is of 512 kB = 128 pages by default, scaled to the
number of onlined CPUs, which fits well with the tools that use
128 data pages by default.
However tools actually use 129 pages, because they need one more
for the user control page. Thus the default mlock threshold is
not sufficient for the default tools needs and we always end up
to evaluate the constant mlock rlimit policy, which doesn't have
this scaling with the number of online CPUs.
Hence, on systems that have more than 16 CPUs, we overlap the
rlimit threshold and fail to mmap:
$ perf record ls
Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted)
Just increase the max unprivileged mlock threshold by one page
so that it supports well perf tools even after 16 CPUs.

This patch solves a stale pointer problem in
update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx(). The cpuctx->cgrp
was not cleared on all possible event exit paths,
including:
close()
perf_release()
perf_release_kernel()
list_del_event()
This patch fixes list_del_event() to clear cpuctx->cgrp
when there are no cgroup events left in the context.
[ This second version makes the code compile when
CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF is not enabled. We unconditionally define
perf_cpu_context->cgrp. ]

In an effort to reduce kernel address leaks that might be used to help
target kernel privilege escalation exploits, this patch uses %pK when
displaying addresses in /proc/kallsyms, /proc/modules, and
/sys/module/*/sections/*.
Note that this changes %x to %p, so some legitimately 0 values in
/proc/kallsyms would have changed from 00000000 to "(null)". To avoid
this, "(null)" is not used when using the "K" format. Anything that was
already successfully parsing "(null)" in addition to full hex digits
should have no problem with this change. (Thanks to Joe Perches for the
suggestion.) Due to the %x to %p, "void *" casts are needed since these
addresses are already "unsigned long" everywhere internally, due to their
starting life as ELF section offsets.

For a platform with many consoles like:
"console=tty1 console=ttyMFD2 console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=mrst"
Each time when the non "selected_console" (tty1 and ttyMFD2 here) get
registered, the existing kernel message will be printed out on registered
consoles again, the "mrst" early console will get some same message for 3
times, and "tty1" will get some for twice.
As suggested by Andrew Morton, every time a new console is registered, it
will be set as the "exclusive" console which will dump the already
existing kernel messages.

On some architectures, the boot process involves de-registering the boot
console (early boot), initialize drivers and then re-register the console.
This mechanism introduces a window in which no printk can happen on the
console and messages are buffered and then printed once the new console is
available.
If a kernel crashes during this window, all it's left on the boot console
is "console [foo] enabled, bootconsole disabled" making debug of the crash
rather 'interesting'.
By adding "keep_bootcon" option, do not unregister the boot console, that
will allow to printk everything that is happening up to the crash.
The option is clearly meant only for debugging purposes as it introduces
lots of duplicated info printed on console, but will make bug report from
users easier as it doesn't require a kernel build just to figure out where
we crash.

This patch addresses a couple of problems. One was the case when the
hardlockup failed to start, it also failed to start the softlockup. There
were valid cases when the hardlockup shouldn't start and that shouldn't
block the softlockup (no lapic, bios controls perf counters).
The second problem was when the hardlockup failed to start on boxes (from
a no lapic or bios controlled perf counter case), it reported failure to
the cpu notifier chain. This blocked the notifier from continuing to
start other more critical pieces of cpu bring-up (in our case based on a
2.6.32 fork, it was the mce). As a result, during soft cpu online/offline
testing, the system would panic when a cpu was offlined because the cpu
notifier would succeed in processing a watchdog disable cpu event and
would panic in the mce case as a result of un-initialized variables from a
never executed cpu up event.
I realized the hardlockup/softlockup cases are really just debugging aids
and should never impede the progress of a cpu up/down event. Therefore I
modified the code to always return NOTIFY_OK and instead rely on printks
to inform the user of problems.

When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing
a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the
vmcore and reboot. This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly
while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with.
Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic
by default. Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

Cleanup: kill the dead code which does nothing but complicates the code
and confuses the reader.
sys_unshare(CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM) is not really implemented, and I
doubt very much it will ever work. At least, nobody even tried since the
original 99d1419d96d7df9cfa56 ("unshare system call -v5: system call
handler function") was applied more than 4 years ago.
And the code is not consistent. unshare_thread() always fails
unconditionally, while unshare_sighand() and unshare_vm() pretend to work
if there is nothing to unshare.
Remove unshare_thread(), unshare_sighand(), unshare_vm() helpers and
related variables and add a simple CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_SIGHAND| CLONE_VM
check into check_unshare_flags().
Also, move the "CLONE_NEWNS needs CLONE_FS" check from
check_unshare_flags() to sys_unshare(). This looks more consistent and
matches the similar do_sysvsem check in sys_unshare().
Note: with or without this patch "atomic_read(mm->mm_users) > 1" can give
a false positive due to get_task_mm().

list_del() leaves poison in the prev and next pointers. The next
list_empty() will compare those poisons, and say the list isn't empty.
Any list operations that assume the node is on a list because of such a
check will be fooled into dereferencing poison. One needs to INIT the
node after the del, and fortunately there's already a wrapper for that -
list_del_init().
Some of the dels are followed by deallocations, so can be ignored, and one
can be merged with an add to make a move. Apart from that, I erred on the
side of caution in making nodes list_empty()-queriable.

$ echo sys_open:traceon sys_close:traceon > ./set_ftrace_filter
$ cat set_ftrace_filter

Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a
signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL.
Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to
send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it
from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a
SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values.
Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate
SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses
anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag.
So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative
value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out
there that might depend on using other si_code values.

Notify GDB of the machine halting, rebooting or powering off by sending it an
exited command (remote protocol command 'W'). This is done by calling:
void gdbstub_exit(int status)
from the arch's machine_{halt,restart,power_off}() functions with an
appropriate exit status to be reported to GDB.

Use the newly added smp_call_func_t in smp_call_function_interrupt for
the func variable, and make the comment above the WARN more assertive
and explicit. Also, func is a function pointer and does not need an
offset, so use %pf not %pS.

Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the
cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s)
while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to
clear the last ref and unlock the block.
Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of
cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to
complete an rcu window.
Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just
detect the race and handle it.
Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty
cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch
callback is made. And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus
are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were
online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed
to be called.

Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the
2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code.
First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to
be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was
missing. This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the
func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair
with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before
the read of refs. This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in
the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus
executing the call request. (I was thinking this barrier was present
but was not).
Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the
interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third
party cpu. This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or
concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would
require a full smp_mb().
However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data
owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the
reading cpu. By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before
the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes
that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the
interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which
will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the
list).
I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list
primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function. I
considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and
lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

Peter pointed out there was nothing preventing the list_del_rcu in
smp_call_function_interrupt from running before the list_add_rcu in
smp_call_function_many.
Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list.
Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional
one.
I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and
by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but
was unsuccessful. Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is
a extension of the existing protection window in the current code.
