43a256322a sparseirq: move __weak symbols into separate compilation unit
GCC has a bug with __weak alias functions: if the functions are in
the same compilation unit as their call site, GCC can decide to
inline them - and thus rob the linker of the opportunity to override
the weak alias with the real thing.

So move all the IRQ handling related __weak symbols to kernel/irq/chip.c.

abf137dd77 aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless
The mm->ioctx_list is currently protected by a reader-writer lock,
so we always grab that lock on the read side for doing ioctx
lookups. As the workload is extremely reader biased, turn this into
an rcu hlist so we can make lookup_ioctx() lockless. Get rid of
the rwlock and use a spinlock for providing update side exclusion.

There's usually only 1 entry on this list, so it doesn't make sense
to look into fancier data structures.

7c0990c7ee Do not free io context when taking recursive faults in do_exit
When taking recursive faults in do_exit, if the io_context is not null,
exit_io_context() is being called. But it might decrement the refcount
more than once. It is better to leave this task alone.

b2e2fe9962 sparseirq: work around __weak alias bug
Impact: fix boot crash if the kernel is built with certain GCC versions

GCC has a bug with __weak alias functions: if the functions are in
the same compilation unit as their call site, GCC can decide to
inline them - and thus rob the linker of the opportunity to override
the weak alias with the real thing.

This can lead to the boot crash reported by Kamalesh Babulal:

 ACPI: Core revision 20080926
 Setting APIC routing to flat
 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
 0000000000000000
 IP: [<ffffffff8021f9a8>] add_pin_to_irq_cpu+0x14/0x74
 PGD 0
 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
 [...]

So move the arch_init_chip_data() function from handle.c to manage.c.

Impact: cleanup

before CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ age, for_each_irq_desc() sat in irqnr.h and

CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ breaks this assumption, but SPARSE_IRQ version

wakeups.

9212ddb5ea stacktrace: provide save_stack_trace_tsk() weak alias
Impact: build fix

Some architectures have not implemented save_stack_trace_tsk() yet:

  fs/built-in.o: In function `proc_pid_stack':
  base.c:(.text+0x3f140): undefined reference to `save_stack_trace_tsk'

So warn about that if the facility is used.

12d79bafb7 rcu: provide RCU options on non-preempt architectures too
Impact: build fix

Some old architectures still do not use kernel/Kconfig.preempt, so the
moving of the RCU options there broke their build:

 In file included from /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/sem.h:81,
                 from /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/sched.h:69,
                 from /home/mingo/tip/arch/alpha/kernel/asm-offsets.c:9:
 /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/rcupdate.h:62:2: error: #error "Unknown RCU implementation specified to kernel configuration"

Move these options back to init/Kconfig, which every architecture
includes.

20ca9b3f4c cgroups: avoid accessing uninitialized data in failure path
If cgroup_get_rootdir() failed, free_cg_links() will be called in the
failure path, but tmp_cg_links hasn't been initialized at that time.

I introduced this bug in the 2.6.27 merge window.

98db8df777 ring-buffer: prevent false positive warning
Impact: eliminate false WARN_ON message

If an interrupt goes off after the setting of the local variable
tail_page and before incrementing the write index of that page,
the interrupt could push the commit forward to the next page.

Later a check is made to see if interrupts pushed the buffer around
the entire ring buffer by comparing the next page to the last commited
page. This can produce a false positive if the interrupt had pushed
the commit page forward as stated above.

Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for finding this race.

a8ccf1d6f6 ring-buffer: fix dangling commit race
Impact: fix stuck trace-buffers

If an interrupt comes in during the rb_set_commit_to_write and
pushes the tail page forward just at the right time, the commit
updates will miss the adding of the interrupt data. This will
cause the commit pointer to cease from moving forward.

3d44cc3e01 Null pointer deref with hrtimer_try_to_cancel()
Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

commit 2d42244ae7 (clocksource:
introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only
available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time.

The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created
with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes
the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted
either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes.

Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the
posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

bf53de907d x86, bts: add fork and exit handling
Impact: introduce new ptrace facility

Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer
detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies);
ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach.

Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a
traced task is forked.

Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork.

Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This
releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do
that when the traced task dies.
