Eric Paris 1c529063a3 fanotify: should_send_event needs to handle vfsmounts
currently should_send_event in fanotify only cares about marks on inodes.
This patch extends that interface to indicate that it cares about events
that happened on vfsmounts.

Eric Paris a1014f1023 fanotify: send events using read
Send events to userspace by reading the file descriptor from fanotify_init().
One will get blocks of data which look like:

struct fanotify_event_metadata {

	__u32 vers;
	__s32 fd;
	__u64 mask;
	__s64 pid;
	__u64 cookie;
} __attribute__ ((packed));

Simple code to retrieve and deal with events is below

	while ((len = read(fan_fd, buf, sizeof(buf))) > 0) {
		struct fanotify_event_metadata *metadata;

		metadata = (void *)buf;
		while(FAN_EVENT_OK(metadata, len)) {
			[PROCESS HERE!!]
			if (metadata->fd >= 0 && close(metadata->fd) != 0)
				goto fail;
			metadata = FAN_EVENT_NEXT(metadata, len);

Eric Paris 2a3edf8604 fanotify: fanotify_mark syscall implementation
NAME
	fanotify_mark - add, remove, or modify an fanotify mark on a
filesystem object

SYNOPSIS
	int fanotify_mark(int fanotify_fd, unsigned int flags, u64 mask,
			  int dfd, const char *pathname)

DESCRIPTION
	fanotify_mark() is used to add remove or modify a mark on a filesystem
	object.  Marks are used to indicate that the fanotify group is
	interested in events which occur on that object.  At this point in
	time marks may only be added to files and directories.

	fanotify_fd must be a file descriptor returned by fanotify_init()

	The flags field must contain exactly one of the following:

	FAN_MARK_ADD - or the bits in mask and ignored mask into the mark
	FAN_MARK_REMOVE - bitwise remove the bits in mask and ignored mark
		from the mark

	The following values can be OR'd into the flags field:

	FAN_MARK_DONT_FOLLOW - same meaning as O_NOFOLLOW as described in open(2)
	FAN_MARK_ONLYDIR - same meaning as O_DIRECTORY as described in open(2)

	dfd may be any of the following:
	AT_FDCWD: the object will be lookup up based on pathname similar
		to open(2)

	file descriptor of a directory: if pathname is not NULL the
		object to modify will be lookup up similar to openat(2)

	file descriptor of the final object: if pathname is NULL the
		object to modify will be the object referenced by dfd

	The mask is the bitwise OR of the set of events of interest such as:
	FAN_ACCESS		- object was accessed (read)
	FAN_MODIFY		- object was modified (write)
	FAN_CLOSE_WRITE		- object was writable and was closed
	FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE	- object was read only and was closed
	FAN_OPEN		- object was opened
	FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD	- interested in objected that happen to
				  children.  Only relavent when the object
				  is a directory
	FAN_Q_OVERFLOW		- event queue overflowed (not implemented)

RETURN VALUE
	On success, this system call returns 0. On error, -1 is
	returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags.

	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in mask.

	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in ignored_mask.

	EINVAL fanotify_fd is not a file descriptor as returned by
	fanotify_init()

	EBADF fanotify_fd is not a valid file descriptor

	EBADF dfd is not a valid file descriptor and path is NULL.

	ENOTDIR dfd is not a directory and path is not NULL

	EACCESS no search permissions on some part of the path

	ENENT file not found

	ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available.

CONFORMING TO
	These system calls are Linux-specific.

Eric Paris 52c923dd07 fanotify: fanotify_init syscall implementation
NAME
	fanotify_init - initialize an fanotify group

SYNOPSIS
	int fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags, int priority);

DESCRIPTION
	fanotify_init() initializes a new fanotify instance and returns a file
	descriptor associated with the new fanotify event queue.

	The following values can be OR'd into the flags field:

	FAN_NONBLOCK Set the O_NONBLOCK file status flag on the new open file description.
		Using this flag saves extra calls to fcntl(2) to achieve the same
		result.

	FAN_CLOEXEC Set the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag on the new file descriptor.
		See the description of the O_CLOEXEC flag in open(2) for reasons why
		this may be useful.

	The event_f_flags argument is unused and must be set to 0

	The priority argument is unused and must be set to 0

RETURN VALUE
	On success, this system call return a new file descriptor. On error, -1 is
	returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
	EINVAL An invalid value was specified in flags.

	EINVAL A non-zero valid was passed in event_f_flags or in priority

	ENFILE The system limit on the total number of file descriptors has been reached.

	ENOMEM Insufficient kernel memory is available.

CONFORMING TO
	These system calls are Linux-specific.

Eric Paris ff0b16a985 fanotify: fscking all notification system
fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on
giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open
file descriptor to the object in question.  This should address a number of
races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify
and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled
notification.  These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage
management schemes.

This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions.

Eric Paris ecf081d1a7 vfs: introduce FMODE_NONOTIFY
This is a new f_mode which can only be set by the kernel.  It indicates
that the fd was opened by fanotify and should not cause future fanotify
events.  This is needed to prevent fanotify livelock.  An example of
obvious livelock is from fanotify close events.

Process A closes file1
This creates a close event for file1.
fanotify opens file1 for Listener X
Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1.
This creates a close event for file1.
fanotify opens file1 for Listener X
Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1.
This creates a close event for file1.
fanotify opens file1 for Listener X
Listener X deals with the event and closes its fd for file1.
notice a pattern?

The fix is to add the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit to the open filp done by the kernel
for fanotify.  Thus when that file is used it will not generate future
events.

This patch simply defines the bit.

Eric Paris 7131485a93 fsnotify: mount point listeners list and global mask
currently all of the notification systems implemented select which inodes
they care about and receive messages only about those inodes (or the
children of those inodes.)  This patch begins to flesh out fsnotify support
for the concept of listeners that want to hear notification for an inode
accessed below a given monut point.  This patch implements a second list
of fsnotify groups to hold these types of groups and a second global mask
to hold the events of interest for this type of group.

The reason we want a second group list and mask is because the inode based
notification should_send_event support which makes each group look for a mark
on the given inode.  With one nfsmount listener that means that every group would
have to take the inode->i_lock, look for their mark, not find one, and return
for every operation.   By seperating vfsmount from inode listeners only when
there is a inode listener will the inode groups have to look for their
mark and take the inode lock.  vfsmount listeners will have to grab the lock and
look for a mark but there should be fewer of them, and one vfsmount listener
won't cause the i_lock to be grabbed and released for every fsnotify group
on every io operation.

the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area

Sam Ravnborg da5e37efe8 vmlinux.lds: fix .data..init_task output section (fix popwerpc boot)
The .data..init_task output section was missing
a load offset causing a popwerpc target to fail to boot.

Sean MacLennan tracked it down to the definition of
INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION().

There are only two users of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION()
in the kernel today: cris and popwerpc.
cris do not support relocatable kernels and is thus not
impacted by this change.

Fix INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() to specify load offset like
all other output sections.

Len Brown 718be4aaf3 ACPI: skip checking BM_STS if the BIOS doesn't ask for it
It turns out that there is a bit in the _CST for Intel FFH C3
that tells the OS if we should be checking BM_STS or not.

Linux has been unconditionally checking BM_STS.
If the chip-set is configured to enable BM_STS,
it can retard or completely prevent entry into
deep C-states -- as illustrated by turbostat:

ref: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI Interface Specification
table 4 "_CST FFH GAS Field Encoding"
Bit 1: Set to 1 if OSPM should use Bus Master avoidance for this C-state

Herbert Xu 8a35747a5d macvtap: Limit packet queue length
Mark Wagner reported OOM symptoms when sending UDP traffic over
a macvtap link to a kvm receiver.

This appears to be caused by the fact that macvtap packet queues
are unlimited in length.  This means that if the receiver can't
keep up with the rate of flow, then we will hit OOM. Of course
it gets worse if the OOM killer then decides to kill the receiver.

This patch imposes a cap on the packet queue length, in the same
way as the tuntap driver, using the device TX queue length.

Please note that macvtap currently has no way of giving congestion
notification, that means the software device TX queue cannot be
used and packets will always be dropped once the macvtap driver
queue fills up.

This shouldn't be a great problem for the scenario where macvtap
is used to feed a kvm receiver, as the traffic is most likely
external in origin so congestion notification can't be applied
anyway.

Of course, if anybody decides to complain about guest-to-guest
UDP packet loss down the track, then we may have to revisit this.

Incidentally, this patch also fixes a real memory leak when
macvtap_get_queue fails.

Chris Wright noticed that for this patch to work, we need a
non-zero TX queue length.  This patch includes his work to change
the default macvtap TX queue length to 500.
