Pointed out by Roland. The bug was recently introduced by me in
"forget_original_parent: split out the un-ptrace part", commit
39c626ae47.
Since that patch we have a window after exit_ptrace() drops tasklist and
before forget_original_parent() takes it again. In this window the child
can do ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) and nobody can untrace this child after
that.
Change ptrace_traceme() to not attach to the exiting ->real_parent. We
don't report the error in this case, we pretend we attach right before
->real_parent calls exit_ptrace() which should untrace us anyway.

There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous
scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to
call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation.
In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's
better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before
attempting to open the resume device.

Impact: broaden lockdep checks
Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient
to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel
tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the
staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused
on another things that require lockdep.
The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case
of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

Impact: provide useful missing info for developers
Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings,
load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc...
But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on
the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint
disables lockdep without ever warning about it.
Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development.
This patch adds this missing warning.
Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that
explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside
add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main
information.
v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an
open coded xchg().

Several drivers use asynchronous work to do device discovery, and we
synchronize with them in the compiled-in case before we actually try to
mount root filesystems etc.
However, when compiled as modules, that synchronization is missing - the
module loading completes, but the driver hasn't actually finished
probing for devices, and that means that any user mode that expects to
use the devices after the 'insmod' is now potentially broken.
We already saw one case of a similar issue in the ACPI battery code,
where the kernel itself expected the module to be all done, and unmapped
the init memory - but the async device discovery was still running.
That got hacked around by just removing the "__init" (see commit
5d38258ec0 "ACPI battery: fix async boot
oops"), but the real fix is to just make the module loading wait for all
async work to be completed.
It will slow down module loading, but since common devices should be
built in anyway, and since the bug is really annoying and hard to handle
from user space (and caused several S3 resume regressions), the simple
fix to wait is the right one.
This fixes at least
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063
but probably a few other bugzilla entries too (12936, for example), and
is confirmed to fix Rafael's storage driver breakage after resume bug
report (no bugzilla entry).
We should also be able to now revert that ACPI battery fix.

I wanted to splice_read 4096 bytes, but it returns 8192 or larger.
It is because the return value of tracing_buffers_splice_read()

But tracing_buffers_read() includes these bytes, we make them

Impact: performance regression fix for s390
The adaptive spinning mutexes will not always do what one would expect on
virtualized architectures like s390. Especially the cpu_relax() loop in
mutex_spin_on_owner might hurt if the mutex holding cpu has been scheduled
away by the hypervisor.
We would end up in a cpu_relax() loop when there is no chance that the
state of the mutex changes until the target cpu has been scheduled again by
the hypervisor.
For that reason we should change the default behaviour to no-spin on s390.
We do have an instruction which allows to yield the current cpu in favour of
a different target cpu. Also we have an instruction which allows us to figure
out if the target cpu is physically backed.
However we need to do some performance tests until we can come up with
a solution that will do the right thing on s390.

But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file,
especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher
level headers.
Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

Impact: circular locking bugfix
The various implemetnations and proposed implemetnations of work_on_cpu()
are vulnerable to various deadlocks because they all used queues of some
form.
Unrelated pieces of kernel code thus gained dependencies wherein if one
work_on_cpu() caller holds a lock which some other work_on_cpu() callback
also takes, the kernel could rarely deadlock.
Fix this by creating a short-lived kernel thread for each work_on_cpu()
invokation.
This is not terribly fast, but the only current caller of work_on_cpu() is
pci_call_probe().
It would be nice to find some other way of doing the node-local
allocations in the PCI probe code so that we can zap work_on_cpu()
altogether. The code there is rather nasty. I can't think of anything
simple at this time...

copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because
posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus
fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other expired cpu timers.
Change copy_signal() to set cputime_expires.prof_exp if we have RLIMIT_CPU.
Also, set cputimer.running = 1 in that case. This is not strictly necessary,
but imho makes sense.

Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and
maximum number of pdflush threads. This allows finer control of pdflush
on both large and small machines.
The rationale is simply one size does not fit all. Admins on large and/or
small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best
suit their needs. Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8. While
probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large
numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit
from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices.
Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is
still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still
desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the
kernel.
The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and
'/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions.
The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is
the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max. This minimum is required
since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself.
The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of
nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000.
Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

This is because we alloc the iter->started cpumask on tracing_pipe_open but
not on tracing_open.
It hadn't been noticed until now because we need to have ring buffer overruns
to activate the starting of cpu buffer detection.
Also, we need a check to not print the messagge for the first trace on the file.

Maneesh Soni was getting a crash when running the wakeup tracer.
We debugged it down to the recording of the function with the
CALLER_ADDR2 macro. This is used to get the location of the caller
to schedule.
But the problem comes when schedule is called by assmebly. In the case
that Maneesh had, retint_careful would call schedule. But retint_careful
does not set up a proper frame pointer. CALLER_ADDR2 is defined as
__builtin_return_address(2). This produces the following assembly in
the wakeup tracer code.
mov 0x0(%rbp),%rcx <--- get the frame pointer of the caller
mov %r14d,%r8d
mov 0xf2de8e(%rip),%rdi
mov 0x8(%rcx),%rsi <-- this is __builtin_return_address(1)
mov 0x28(%rdi,%rax,8),%rbx
mov (%rcx),%rax <-- get the frame pointer of the caller's caller
mov %r12,%rcx
mov 0x8(%rax),%rdx <-- this is __builtin_return_address(2)
At the reading of 0x8(%rax) Maneesh's machine would take a fault.
The reason is that retint_careful did not set up the return address
and the content of %rax here was zero.
To verify this, I sent Maneesh a patch to create a frame pointer
in retint_careful. He ran the test again but this time he would take
the same type of fault from sysret_careful. The retint_careful was no
longer an issue, but there are other callers that still have issues.
Instead of adding frame pointers for all callers to schedule (in possibly
all archs), it is much safer to simply not use CALLER_ADDR2. This
loses out on knowing what called schedule, but the function tracer
will help there if needed.

This reverts commit 9cb610d8e3.
This was an impressively stupid patch. Firstly, we reset the SHF_ALLOC
flag lower down in the same function, so the patch was useless. Even
better, find_sec() ignores sections with SHF_ALLOC not set, so
it breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y with CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD=n, which
refuses to load the module since it can't find the __versions section.

currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control()
to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an
embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has
no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string
with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL.
audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual
audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory
is after the NULL.
Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data
to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it)
we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is
certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using
audit_log_untrustedstring.

Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same.
EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts
"\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're
there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round
them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when
creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in
an audit record.

Make the slow work pool configurable through /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work.
(*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/min-threads
The minimum number of threads that should be in the pool as long as it is
in use. This may be anywhere between 2 and max-threads.
(*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/max-threads
The maximum number of threads that should in the pool. This may be
anywhere between min-threads and 255 or NR_CPUS * 2, whichever is greater.
(*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/vslow-percentage
The percentage of active threads in the pool that may be used to execute
very slow work items. This may be between 1 and 99. The resultant number
is bounded to between 1 and one fewer than the number of active threads.

slow work items, and always at least one thread that won't.

Make the slow-work thread pool actually dynamic in the number of threads it
contains. With this patch, it will both create additional threads when it has
extra work to do, and cull excess threads that aren't doing anything.

Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work items, such
as invoking mkdir() or rmdir() - things that may take a long time and may
sleep, holding mutexes/semaphores and hogging a thread, and are thus unsuitable
for workqueues.
The number of threads is always at least a settable minimum, but more are
started when there's more work to do, up to a limit. Because of the nature of
the load, it's not suitable for a 1-thread-per-CPU type pool. A system with
one CPU may well want several threads.
This is used by FS-Cache to do slow caching operations in the background, such
as looking up, creating or deleting cache objects.

Impact: fix corrupted blkparse output
Make sure messages from user space are NUL-terminated strings,
otherwise we could dump random memory to the block trace file.
Additionally, I've limited the message to BLK_TN_MAX_MSG-1
characters, because the last character would be stripped by
vscnprintf anyway.

When kmemtrace was ported to ftrace, the marker strings were taken as
an indication of how the traced data was being exposed to the userspace.
However, the actual format had been binary, not text.
This restores the original binary format, while also adding an origin CPU
field (since ftrace doesn't expose the data per-CPU to userspace), and
re-adding the timestamp field. It also drops arch-independent field
sizing where it didn't make sense, so pointers won't always be 64 bits
wide like they used to.

SGI has observed that on large systems, interrupts are not serviced for a
long period of time when waiting for a rwlock. The following patch series
re-enables irqs while waiting for the lock, resembling the code which is
already there for spinlocks.
I only made the ia64 version, because the patch adds some overhead to the
fast path. I assume there is currently no demand to have this for other
architectures, because the systems are not so large. Of course, the
possibility to implement raw_{read|write}_lock_flags for any architecture
is still there.
This patch:
The new macro LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS expands to the correct implementation
depending on the config options, so that IRQ's are re-enabled when
possible, but they remain disabled if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is set.

When buf->subbufs_produced wraps around after UINT_MAX and
buf->subbufs_consumed is still < UINT_MAX, the condition
if (buf->subbufs_consumed > buf->subbufs_produced)
will be true even for certain valid values of subbufs_consumed. This may
lead to loss or corruption of produced subbufs.

without needing to keep the debug symbols for the running kernel handy all
the time. We have a facility to do this in /proc/vmcore. This patch adds
the log_buf and log_end symbols to the vmcoreinfo area so that tools (like
makedumpfile) can easily extract the dmesg logs from a vmcore image.

We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement
task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr().
task_session_nr() has no callers since
2e2ba22ea4, we can remove it.
task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and
fs/coda.
This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills
__pgrp/__session and the related helpers.
The change in drivers/char/tty_io.c is cosmetic, but hopefully makes sense
anyway.
