Since we call arch_gettimeoffset() in all the accessor
functions, move arch_gettimeoffset() calls into
timekeeping_get_ns() and timekeeping_get_ns_raw() to simplify
the code.
This also makes the code easier to maintain as we don't have to
worry about forgetting the arch_gettimeoffset() as has happened
in the past.

The timekeeper struct has a xtime_nsec, which keeps the
sub-nanosecond remainder. This ends up being somewhat
duplicative of the timekeeper.xtime.tv_nsec value, and we
have to do extra work to keep them apart, copying the full
nsec portion out and back in over and over.
This patch simplifies some of the logic by taking the timekeeper
xtime value and splitting it into timekeeper.xtime_sec and
reuses the timekeeper.xtime_nsec for the sub-second portion
(stored in higher res shifted nanoseconds).
This simplifies some of the accumulation logic. And will
allow for more accurate timekeeping once the vsyscall code
is updated to use the shifted nanosecond remainder.

without forcing STA_PLL first.
Usually once the STA_INS is set, it isn't cleared
until the leap second is applied, so its unlikely this
affected anyone. However during testing I noticed it
took some effort to cancel a leap second once STA_INS
was set.

The update of the hrtimer base offsets on all cpus cannot be made
atomically from the timekeeper.lock held and interrupt disabled region
as smp function calls are not allowed there.
clock_was_set(), which enforces the update on all cpus, is called
either from preemptible process context in case of do_settimeofday()
or from the softirq context when the offset modification happened in
the timer interrupt itself due to a leap second.
In both cases there is a race window for an hrtimer interrupt between
dropping timekeeper lock, enabling interrupts and clock_was_set()
issuing the updates. Any interrupt which arrives in that window will
see the new time but operate on stale offsets.
So we need to make sure that an hrtimer interrupt always sees a
consistent state of time and offsets.
ktime_get_update_offsets() allows us to get the current monotonic time
and update the per cpu hrtimer base offsets from hrtimer_interrupt()
to capture a consistent state of monotonic time and the offsets. The
function replaces the existing ktime_get() calls in hrtimer_interrupt().
The overhead of the new function vs. ktime_get() is minimal as it just
adds two store operations.
This ensures that any changes to realtime or boottime offsets are
noticed and stored into the per-cpu hrtimer base structures, prior to
any hrtimer expiration and guarantees that timers are not expired early.

To finally fix the infamous leap second issue and other race windows
caused by functions which change the offsets between the various time
bases (CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME) we need a
function which atomically gets the current monotonic time and updates
the offsets of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_BOOTTIME with minimalistic
overhead. The previous patch which provides ktime_t offsets allows us
to make this function almost as cheap as ktime_get() which is going to

The timekeeping code misses an update of the hrtimer subsystem after a
leap second happened. Due to that timers based on CLOCK_REALTIME are
either expiring a second early or late depending on whether a leap
second has been inserted or deleted until an operation is initiated
which causes that update. Unless the update happens by some other
means this discrepancy between the timekeeping and the hrtimer data
stays forever and timers are expired either early or late.
The reported immediate workaround - $ data -s "`date`" - is causing a
call to clock_was_set() which updates the hrtimer data structures.
See: http://www.sheeri.com/content/mysql-and-leap-second-high-cpu-and-fix
Add the missing clock_was_set() call to update_wall_time() in case of
a leap second event. The actual update is deferred to softirq context
as the necessary smp function call cannot be invoked from hard

clock_was_set() cannot be called from hard interrupt context because
it calls on_each_cpu().
For fixing the widely reported leap seconds issue it is necessary to
call it from hard interrupt context, i.e. the timer tick code, which
does the timekeeping updates.
Provide a new function which denotes it in the hrtimer cpu base
structure of the cpu on which it is called and raise the hrtimer
softirq. We then execute the clock_was_set() notificiation from
softirq context in run_hrtimer_softirq(). The hrtimer softirq is
rarely used, so polling the flag there is not a performance issue.

48ddbe1946 "cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal
optional" allowed a css to linger after the associated cgroup is
removed. As a css holds a reference on the cgroup's dentry, it means
that cgroup dentries may linger for a while.
Destroying a superblock which has dentries with positive refcnts is a
critical bug and triggers BUG() in vfs code. As each cgroup dentry
holds an s_active reference, any lingering cgroup has both its dentry
and the superblock pinned and thus preventing premature release of
superblock.
Unfortunately, after 48ddbe1946, there's a small window while
releasing a cgroup which is directly under the root of the hierarchy.
When a cgroup directory is released, vfs layer first deletes the
corresponding dentry and then invokes dput() on the parent, which may
recurse further, so when a cgroup directly below root cgroup is
released, the cgroup is first destroyed - which releases the s_active
it was holding - and then the dentry for the root cgroup is dput().
This creates a window where the root dentry's refcnt isn't zero but
superblock's s_active is. If umount happens before or during this
window, vfs will see the root dentry with non-zero refcnt and trigger
BUG().
Before 48ddbe1946, this problem didn't exist because the last dentry
reference was guaranteed to be put synchronously from rmdir(2)
invocation which holds s_active around the whole process.
Fix it by holding an extra superblock->s_active reference across
dput() from css release, which is the dput() path added by 48ddbe1946
and the only one which doesn't hold an extra s_active ref across the
final cgroup dput().

The /proc/kmsg read() interface is internally simply wired up to a sequence
of syslog() syscalls, which might are racy between their checks and actions,
regarding concurrency.
In the (very uncommon) case of concurrent readers of /dev/kmsg, relying on
usual O_NONBLOCK behavior, the recently introduced mutex might block an
O_NONBLOCK reader in read(), when poll() returns for it, but another process
has already read the data in the meantime. We've seen that while running
artificial test setups and tools that "fight" about /proc/kmsg data.
This restores the original /proc/kmsg behavior, where in case of concurrent
read()s, poll() might wake up but the read() syscall will just return 0 to
the caller, while another process has "stolen" the data.
This is in the general case not the expected behavior, but it is the exact
same one, that can easily be triggered with a 3.4 kernel, and some tools
might just rely on it.
The mutex is not needed, the original integrity issue which introduced it,
is in the meantime covered by:

Here is a number of printk() fixes, specifically a few reported by the
crazy blog program that ships in SUSE releases (that's "boot log" and
not "web log", it predates the general "blog" terminology by many
years), and the restoration of the continuation line functionality
reported by Stephen and others. Yes, the changes seem a bit big this
late in the cycle, but I've been beating on them for a while now, and
Stephen has even optimized it a bit, so all looks good to me.
The other change in here is a Documentation update for the stable kernel
rules describing how some distro patches should be backported, to
hopefully drive a bit more response from the distros to the stable
kernel releases.

In reviewing Kay's fix up patch: "printk: Have printk() never buffer its
data", I found two if statements that could be combined and optimized.
Put together the two 'cont.len && cont.owner == current' if statements
into a single one, and check if we need to call cont_add(). This also
removes the unneeded double cont_flush() calls.

When removing pages from the ring buffer, its state is not reset. This
means that the counters need to be correctly updated to account for the
pages removed.
Update the overrun counter to reflect the removed events from the pages.

The new_pages list head in the cpu_buffer is not initialized. When
adding pages to the ring buffer, if the memory allocation fails in
ring_buffer_resize, the clean up handler tries to free up the allocated
pages from all the cpu buffers. The panic is caused by referencing the
uninitialized new_pages list head.
Initializing the new_pages list head in rb_allocate_cpu_buffer fixes
this.

Continuation lines are buffered internally, intended to merge the
chunked printk()s into a single record, and to isolate potentially
racy continuation users from usual terminated line users.
This though, has the effect that partial lines are not printed to
the console in the moment they are emitted. In case the kernel
crashes in the meantime, the potentially interesting printed
information would never reach the consoles.
Here we share the continuation buffer with the console copy logic,
and partial lines are always immediately flushed to the available
consoles. They are still buffered internally to improve the
readability and integrity of the messages and minimize the amount
of needed record headers to store.

The recent changes to the printk buffer management resulted in
SYSLOG_ACTION_READ to only return a single message, whereas previously
the buffer would get filled as much as possible. As, when too small to
fit everything, filling it to the last byte would be pretty ugly with
the new code, the patch arranges for as many messages as possible to
get returned in a single invocation. User space tools in at least all
SLES versions depend on the old behavior.
This at once addresses the issue attempted to get fixed with commit
b56a39ac26 ("printk: return -EINVAL if
the message len is bigger than the buf size"), and since that commit
widened the possibility for losing a message altogether, the patch
here assumes that this other commit would get reverted first
(otherwise the patch here won't apply).
Furthermore, this patch also addresses the problem dealt with in
commit 4a77a5a06e ("printk: use mutex
lock to stop syslog_seq from going wild"), so I'd recommend reverting
that one too (albeit there's no direct collision between the two).

Commit b1420f1c (Make rcu_barrier() less disruptive) rearranged the
code in rcu_do_batch(), moving the ->qlen manipulation to follow
the requeueing of the callbacks. Unfortunately, this rearrangement
clobbered the value of the "count" local variable before the value
of rdp->qlen was adjusted, resulting in the value of rdp->qlen being
inaccurate. This commit therefore introduces an index variable "i",
avoiding the inadvertent multiplexing.

Commit 7ff9554bb5 (printk: convert
byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer) introduced a regression
by accidentally removing a "break" statement from inside the big
switch in printk's do_syslog(). The symptom of this bug is that the
"dmesg -C" command doesn't only clear the kernel's log buffer; it also
disables console logging.
This patch (as1561) fixes the regression by adding the missing
"break".

find_new_reaper() changes pid_ns->child_reaper, see add0d4df ("pid_ns:
zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing").
The original reason has gone away after the previous patch, ->children
list must be empty after zap_pid_ns_processes().
However now we can not switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper.
__unhash_process() relies on the "->child_reaper == parent" check, but
this check does not work if the last exiting task is also the child
reaper.
As Eric sugested, we can change __unhash_process() to use the parent's
pid_ns and remove this code.
Also, with this change we can move detach_pid(PIDTYPE_PID) back, where it
was before the previous fix.

Today we have a twofold bug. Sometimes release_task on pid == 1 in a pid
namespace can run before other processes in a pid namespace have had
release task called. With the result that pid_ns_release_proc can be
called before the last proc_flus_task() is done using upid->ns->proc_mnt,
resulting in the use of a stale pointer. This same set of circumstances
can lead to waitpid(...) returning for a processes started with
clone(CLONE_NEWPID) before the every process in the pid namespace has
actually exited.
To fix this modify zap_pid_ns_processess wait until all other processes in
the pid namespace have exited, even EXIT_DEAD zombies.
The delay_group_leader and related tests ensure that the thread gruop
leader will be the last thread of a process group to be reaped, or to
become EXIT_DEAD and self reap. With the change to zap_pid_ns_processes
we get the guarantee that pid == 1 in a pid namespace will be the last
task that release_task is called on.
With pid == 1 being the last task to pass through release_task
pid_ns_release_proc can no longer be called too early nor can wait return
before all of the EXIT_DEAD tasks in a pid namespace have exited.
