Chris Peterson 009789f040 slow-work: use round_jiffies() for thread pool's cull and OOM timers
Round the slow work queue's cull and OOM timeouts to whole second boundary
with round_jiffies().  The slow work queue uses a pair of timers to cull
idle threads and, after OOM, to delay new thread creation.

This patch also extracts the mod_timer() logic for the cull timer into a
separate helper function.

By rounding non-time-critical timers such as these to whole seconds, they
will be batched up to fire at the same time rather than being spread out.
This allows the CPU wake up less, which saves power.

Rafael J. Wysocki 7f33d49a2e mm, PM/Freezer: Disable OOM killer when tasks are frozen
Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory:

* Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend.
* Free pages are almost exhausted.
* Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate
  some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or
  equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
* __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the
  OOM killer.
* The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so
  it doesn't die immediately.
* __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries
  to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer.
* No progress can be made.

Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory
shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically
possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been
removed from that code path.  Moreover, since memory allocations are
going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even
more likely to happen during hibernation.

To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch
that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in
which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set
this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

Mel Gorman 6484eb3e2a page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid
Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean
"allocate from the current node".  However, a number of the callers in
fast paths know for a fact their node is valid.  To avoid a comparison and
branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid
with VM_BUG_ON().  Callers that know their node is valid are then
converted.

Miao Xie 58568d2a82 cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time
Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory
spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is
changed.

In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of
memory policy.  Because the memory policy is applied in the process's
context originally.  After applying this patch, one task directly
manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the
task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task.

But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a
lock may lead to performance regression.  But if we don't add a lock,the
task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some
non-overlapping set.  In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes,
then clear newly disallowed ones.

[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:
  The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to
  apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind()
  with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local
  allocation.  Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty
  node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy().

  Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new().

  Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL
  'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new().
  Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for
  'empty'.  However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to
  verify this assumption.]
[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:

  I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive
  enough to differentiate it from mpol_new().

  This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes
  to those allowed by the cpuset.  However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag
  is set, it also translates the nodes.  So I settled on
  'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions
  that we need to call this function to "set nodes".

  Some additional minor line length, whitespace and typo cleanup.]

Miao Xie f3b39d47eb cpusets: restructure the function cpuset_update_task_memory_state()
The kernel still allocates the page caches on old node after modifying its
cpuset's mems when 'memory_spread_page' was set, or it didn't spread the
page cache evenly over all the nodes that faulting task is allowed to usr
after memory_spread_page was set.  it is caused by the old mem_allowed and
flags of the task, the current kernel doesn't updates them unless some
function invokes cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), it is too late
sometimes.We must update the mem_allowed and the flags of the tasks in
time.

Slab has the same problem.

The following patches fix this bug by updating tasks' mem_allowed and
spread flag after its cpuset's mems or spread flag is changed.

This patch:

Extract a function from cpuset_update_task_memory_state().  It will be
used later for update tasks' page/slab spread flags after its cpuset's
flag is set

Linus Torvalds b231125af7 printk: add KERN_DEFAULT loglevel to print_modules()
Several WARN_ON() messages omit the '\n' at the end of the string, which
is a simple (and understandable) error.  The next line printed after
that warning line is usually the current module list, and that printk
does not have a log-level marker - resulting in one long mixed-up line.

Adding this loglevel marker will now avoid this unreadable mess.

Linus Torvalds e28d713704 printk: Add KERN_DEFAULT printk log-level
This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide
which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk
with the default loglevel.

The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level
marker at all is two-fold:

 - having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the
   previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot,
   but perhaps because it expected a continuation)

 - having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a
   message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken
   for a log-level.

Linus Torvalds 5fd29d6ccb printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlines
It used to be that we would only look at the log-level in a printk()
after explicit newlines, which can cause annoying problems when the
previous printk() did not end with a '\n'. In that case, the log-level
marker would be just printed out in the middle of the line, and be
seen as just noise rather than change the logging level.

This changes things to always look at the log-level in the first
bytes of the printout. If a log level marker is found, it is always
used as the log-level. Additionally, if no newline existed, one is
added (unless the log-level is the explicit KERN_CONT marker, to
explicitly show that it's a continuation of a previous line).

Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.

debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah

Kay Sievers 3959214f97 sched: delayed cleanup of user_struct
During bootup performance tracing we see repeated occurrences of
/sys/kernel/uid/* events for the same uid, leading to a,
in this case, rather pointless userspace processing for the
same uid over and over.

This is usually caused by tools which change their uid to "nobody",
to run without privileges to read data supplied by untrusted users.

This change delays the execution of the (already existing) scheduled
work, to cleanup the uid after one second, so the allocated and announced
uid can possibly be re-used by another process.

This is the current behavior, where almost every invocation of a
binary, which changes the uid, creates two events:
  $ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
  for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \
  read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
  echo $(($END - $START))
  178

With the delayed cleanup, we get only two events, and userspace finishes
a bit faster too:
  $ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
  for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \
  read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
  echo $(($END - $START))

This false positive is due to field padding in struct sigqueue. When
this dynamically allocated structure is copied to the stack (in arch-
specific delivery code), kmemcheck sees a read from the padding, which
is, naturally, uninitialized.

Hide the false positive using the __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag.
Also made the rlimit override code a bit clearer by introducing a new

Vegard Nossum 2dff440525 kmemcheck: add mm functions
With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this:

1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of
   each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or
   uninitialized.
2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized.
   There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and
   "recently freed".

If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return
memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck.

If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still
request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page
faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being
initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object.

In addition to (and in contrast to) __GFP_NOTRACK, the
__GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag indicates that the allocation should
not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive. Their values
are identical, but need not be so in the future (for example, we could now
enable/disable false positives with a config option).

Parts of this patch were contributed by Pekka Enberg but merged for
atomicity.

Vegard Nossum dfec072ecd kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck core
General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that
detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every
read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using
kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been
written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.

Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.

Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.

clocksources when high resolution mode is active, but did not take
into account that the same rules apply for highres=off nohz=on.

Check the tick device mode instead of hrtimer_hres_active() to verify
whether the system needs to be protected from a switch to jiffies or
other non highres capable clock sources.

Vegard Nossum 7c692cbade tasklets: new tasklet scheduling function
Rationale: kmemcheck needs to be able to schedule a tasklet without
touching any dynamically allocated memory _at_ _all_ (since that would
lead to a recursive page fault). This tasklet is used for writing the
error reports to the kernel log.

The new scheduling function avoids touching any other tasklets by
inserting the new tasklist as the head of the "tasklet_hi" list instead
of on the tail.

Also don't wake up the softirq thread lest the scheduler access some
tracked memory and we go down with a recursive page fault.

In this case, we'd better just wait for the maximum time of 1/HZ for the
message to appear.

Alan Stern d161630297 PM core: rename suspend and resume functions
This patch (as1241) renames a bunch of functions in the PM core.
Rather than go through a boring list of name changes, suffice it to
say that in the end we have a bunch of pairs of functions:

	device_resume_noirq	dpm_resume_noirq
	device_resume		dpm_resume
	device_complete		dpm_complete
	device_suspend_noirq	dpm_suspend_noirq
	device_suspend		dpm_suspend
	device_prepare		dpm_prepare

in which device_X does the X operation on a single device and dpm_X
invokes device_X for all devices in the dpm_list.

In addition, the old dpm_power_up and device_resume_noirq have been
combined into a single function (dpm_resume_noirq).

Lastly, dpm_suspend_start and dpm_resume_end are the renamed versions
of the former top-level device_suspend and device_resume routines.

Rename the functions performing "_noirq" dev_pm_ops
operations from device_power_down() and device_power_up()
to device_suspend_noirq() and device_resume_noirq().

The new function names are chosen to show that the functions
are responsible for calling the _noirq() versions to finalize
the suspend/resume operation. The current function names do
not perform power down/up anymore so the names may be misleading.

Global function renames:
- device_power_down() -> device_suspend_noirq()
- device_power_up() -> device_resume_noirq()

Static function renames:
- suspend_device_noirq() -> __device_suspend_noirq()
- resume_device_noirq() -> __device_resume_noirq()

Peter Zijlstra 974802eaa1 perf_counter: Add forward/backward attribute ABI compatibility
Provide for means of extending the perf_counter_attr in a 'natural' way.

We allow growing the structure by appending fields at the end by specifying
the full structure size inside it.

When a new kernel sees a smaller (old) structure, it will 0 pad the tail.
When an old kernel sees a larger (new) structure, it will verify the tail
consists of 0s, otherwise fail.

If we fail due to a size-mismatch, we return -E2BIG and write the kernel's
native attribe size back into the provided structure.

Furthermore, add some attribute verification, so that we'll fail counter
creation when unknown bits are present (PERF_SAMPLE, PERF_FORMAT, or in
the __reserved fields).

(This ABI detail is introduced while keeping the existing syscall ABI.)

Rusty Russell ad6561dffa module: trim exception table on init free.
It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules.  These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup.  The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).

Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.

This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code.  Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.

Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.
