f65a03f6ab kexec: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user() failures
copy_to/from_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied.
It never returns a negative value.  The correct return code is -EFAULT and
not -EIO.

All the callers check for non-zero returns so that's Ok, but the return
code is passed to the user so we should fix this.

832ccf6f44 parport_serial: use the PCI IRQ if offered
Commit 51dcdfe ("parport: Use the PCI IRQ if offered") added IRQ support
for PCI parallel port devices handled by parport_pc, but turned it off for
parport_serial, despite a printk() message to the contrary.

e2e7e09325 lib/bug.c: make WARN implementation match the kernel/panic.c one
There are a few issues with the exception based WARN implementation in
lib/bug.c:

- Inconsistent printk flags. The "cut here" line is printed at KERN_EMERG, so
  the console and all logged in users see the single line:

------------[ cut here ]------------

  for each WARN. Fix this so we print everything at KERN_WARNING to match the
  kernel/panic.c version.

- The lib/bug.c WARN would print "Badness at". Change it to match the
  kernel/panic.c version which prints "WARNING: at".

- Print the list of modules, similar to kernel/panic.c of modules, similar to
  kernel/panic.c

c7ff0d9c92 panic: keep blinking in spite of long spin timer mode
To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the
current implementation only spins on long time (1 second) calls to mdelay.
 That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't
blink at all on that situation.

This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and
keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode.

The time to call to mdelay is now 100ms.  Even this change will keep
panic_timeout accuracy enough when running under a hypervisor.

3b9c6c11f5 dma-mapping: remove dma_is_consistent API
Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt).  So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers.  We have only one user of the API in tree.  Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.

Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all.  It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all.  It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.

Let's remove this API.

d80e0d96a3 scsi: 53c700: remove dma_is_consistent usage
This driver is the only user of dma_is_consistent().  We plan to remove this
API.

The driver uses the API in the following way:

BUG_ON(!dma_is_consistent(hostdata->dev, pScript) && L1_CACHE_BYTES < dma_get_cache_alignment());

The above code tries to see if L1_CACHE_BYTES is greater than
dma_get_cache_alignment() on sysmtes that can not allocate coherent memory
(some old systems can't).

James Bottomley exmplained that this is necesary because the driver packs the
set of mailboxes into a single coherent area and separates the different
usages by a L1 cache stride.  So it's fatal if the dma

He also pointed out that we can kill this checking because we don't hit this
BUG_ON on all architectures that actually use the driver.

(akpm: stolen from the scsi tree because
dma-mapping-remove-dma_is_consistent-api.patch needs it)

4565f0170d dma-mapping: unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations
dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN).  So we
can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment.  So
fully-coherent architectures should return 1.  This patch also fixes this
issue.

a6eb9fe105 dma-mapping: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN
Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others).  So
we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

This patch:

dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
alignment restriction).  However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
architectures doesn't define it.

Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub
(except for crypto).

c52b0b91ba pids: alloc_pidmap: remove the unnecessary boundary checks
alloc_pidmap() calculates max_scan so that if the initial offset != 0 we
inspect the first map->page twice.  This is correct, we want to find the
unused bits < offset in this bitmap block.  Add the comment.

But it doesn't make any sense to stop the find_next_offset() loop when we
are looking into this map->page for the second time.  We have already
already checked the bits >= offset during the first attempt, it is fine to
do this again, no matter if we succeed this time or not.

Remove this hard-to-understand code.  It optimizes the very unlikely case
when we are going to fail, but slows down the more likely case.

5fdee8c4a5 pids: fix a race in pid generation that causes pids to be reused immediately
A program that repeatedly forks and waits is susceptible to having the
same pid repeated, especially when it competes with another instance of
the same program.  This is really bad for bash implementation.
Furthermore, many shell scripts assume that pid numbers will not be used
for some length of time.

Race Description:

A                                    B

// pid == offset == n                // pid == offset == n + 1
test_and_set_bit(offset, map->page)
                                     test_and_set_bit(offset, map->page);
                                     pid_ns->last_pid = pid;
pid_ns->last_pid = pid;
                                     // pid == n + 1 is freed (wait())

                                     // Next fork()...
                                     last = pid_ns->last_pid; // == n
                                     pid = last + 1;

Code to reproduce it (Running multiple instances is more effective):

#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

// The distance mod 32768 between two pids, where the first pid is expected
// to be smaller than the second.
int PidDistance(pid_t first, pid_t second) {
  return (second + 32768 - first) % 32768;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  int failed = 0;
  pid_t last_pid = 0;
  int i;
  printf("%d\n", sizeof(pid_t));
  for (i = 0; i < 10000000; ++i) {
    if (i % 32786 == 0)
      printf("Iter: %d\n", i/32768);
    int child_exit_code = i % 256;
    pid_t pid = fork();
    if (pid == -1) {
      fprintf(stderr, "fork failed, iteration %d, errno=%d", i, errno);
      exit(1);
    }
    if (pid == 0) {
      // Child
      exit(child_exit_code);
    } else {
      // Parent
      if (i > 0) {
        int distance = PidDistance(last_pid, pid);
        if (distance == 0 || distance > 30000) {
          fprintf(stderr,
                  "Unexpected pid sequence: previous fork: pid=%d, "
                  "current fork: pid=%d for iteration=%d.\n",
                  last_pid, pid, i);
          failed = 1;
        }
      }
      last_pid = pid;
      int status;
      int reaped = wait(&status);
      if (reaped != pid) {
        fprintf(stderr,
                "Wait return value: expected pid=%d, "
                "got %d, iteration %d\n",
                pid, reaped, i);
        failed = 1;
      } else if (WEXITSTATUS(status) != child_exit_code) {
        fprintf(stderr,
                "Unexpected exit status %x, iteration %d\n",
                WEXITSTATUS(status), i);
        failed = 1;
      }
    }
  }
  exit(failed);
}

cfbef3cb16 procfs: simplify conditional processing of fs/proc.o.
Since the entire fs/proc directory is conditionally included based on
CONFIG_PROC_FS, it's redundant to check that same variable within that

a2a20c412c signalfd: fill in ssi_int for posix timers and message queues
If signalfd is used to consume a signal generated by a POSIX interval
timer or POSIX message queue, the ssi_int field does not reflect the data
(sigevent->sigev_value) supplied to timer_create(2) or mq_notify(3).  (The
ssi_ptr field, however, is filled in.)

This behavior differs from signalfd's treatment of sigqueue-generated
signals -- see the default case in signalfd_copyinfo.  It also gives
results that differ from the case when a signal is handled conventionally
via a sigaction-registered handler.

So, set signalfd_siginfo->ssi_int in the remaining cases (__SI_TIMER,
__SI_MESGQ) where ssi_ptr is set.

akpm: a non-back-compatible change.  Merge into -stable to minimise the
number of kernels which are in the field and which miss this feature.

c7e49c1488 ptrace: optimize exit_ptrace() for the likely case
exit_ptrace() takes tasklist_lock unconditionally.  We need this lock to
avoid the race with ptrace_traceme(), it acts as a barrier.

Change its caller, forget_original_parent(), to call exit_ptrace() under
tasklist_lock.  Change exit_ptrace() to drop and reacquire this lock if
needed.

This allows us to add the fastpath list_empty(ptraced) check.  In the
likely no-tracees case exit_ptrace() just returns and we avoid the lock()
+ unlock() sequence.

"Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> suggested to add this
check, and he reports that this change adds about 11% improvement in some
tests.

f75ca96203 memcg: avoid css_get()
Now, memory cgroup increments css(cgroup subsys state)'s reference count
per a charged page.  And the reference count is kept until the page is
uncharged.  But this has 2 bad effect.

 1. Because css_get/put calls atomic_inc()/dec, heavy call of them
    on large smp will not scale well.
 2. Because css's refcnt cannot be in a state as "ready-to-release",
    cgroup's notify_on_release handler can't work with memcg.
 3. css's refcnt is atomic_t, it means smaller than 32bit. Maybe too small.

This has been a problem since the 1st merge of memcg.

This is a trial to remove css's refcnt per a page. Even if we remove
refcnt, pre_destroy() does enough synchronization as
  - check res->usage == 0.
  - check no pages on LRU.

This patch removes css's refcnt per page.  Even after this patch, at the
1st look, it seems css_get() is still called in try_charge().

But the logic is.

  - If a memcg of mm->owner is cached one, consume_stock() will work.
    At success, return immediately.
  - If consume_stock returns false, css_get() is called and go to
    slow path which may be blocked. At the end of slow path,
    css_put() is called and restart from the start if necessary.

So, in the fast path, we don't call css_get() and can avoid access to
shared counter. This patch can make the most possible case fast.

Here is a result of multi-threaded page fault benchmark.

[Before]
    25.32%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] clear_page_c

     4.24%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] up_read
     3.53%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] css_put
     2.11%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] handle_mm_fault
     1.76%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] __rmqueue
     1.64%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] __mem_cgroup_commit_charge

[After]
    28.41%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] clear_page_c
    10.08%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
     9.58%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] down_read_trylock
     9.38%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
     5.86%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
     5.65%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] up_read
     2.82%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] handle_mm_fault
     2.64%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] mem_cgroup_add_lru_list
     2.48%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] __mem_cgroup_commit_charge

Then, 8.02% of try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() disappears because this patch
removes css_tryget() in it. (But yes, this is an extreme case.)

158e0a2d1b memcg: use find_lock_task_mm() in memory cgroups oom
When the OOM killer scans task, it check a task is under memcg or
not when it's called via memcg's context.

But, as Oleg pointed out, a thread group leader may have NULL ->mm
and task_in_mem_cgroup() may do wrong decision. We have to use
find_lock_task_mm() in memcg as generic OOM-Killer does.

This patch adds a spinlock to move_charge_struct and guard modification of
mc.to and mc.from.  By this, we don't have to think about complicated
races arount this not-critical path.

Summary:
 - refactoring a function to detect a memcg is under acccount move or not.
 - refactoring a function to wait for the end of moving task acct.
 - refactoring a main loop('s slow path) as a function and make it clear
   why we retry or quit by return code.
 - add fatal_signal_pending() check for bypassing charge loops.

b7300b78d1 blkdev: cgroup whitelist permission fix
The cgroup device whitelist code gets confused when trying to grant
permission to a disk partition that is not currently open.  Part of
blkdev_open() includes __blkdev_get() on the whole disk.

Basically, the only ways to reliably allow a cgroup access to a partition
on a block device when using the whitelist are to 1) also give it access
to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in
a different context.

The patch avoids the cgroup check for the whole disk case when opening a
partition.
