Marc reported that the BUG_ON in clockevents_notify() triggers on his
system. This happens because the kernel tries to remove an active
clock event device (used for broadcasting) from the device list.
The handling of devices which can be used as per cpu device and as a
global broadcast device is suboptimal.
The simplest solution for now (and for stable) is to check whether the
device is used as global broadcast device, but this needs to be
revisited.

Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between
a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data. The problem
is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code.
Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter
and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value.
I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem
to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?)
I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions
correctly.

Currently, futexes have two problem:
A) The current futex code doesn't handle private file mappings properly.
get_futex_key() uses PageAnon() to distinguish file and
anon, which can cause the following bad scenario:
1) thread-A call futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAIT), it
sleeps on file mapping object.
2) thread-B writes a variable and it makes it cow.
3) thread-B calls futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAKE), it
wakes up blocked thread on the anonymous page. (but it's nothing)
B) Current futex code doesn't handle zero page properly.
Read mode get_user_pages() can return zero page, but current
futex code doesn't handle it at all. Then, zero page makes
infinite loop internally.
The solution is to use write mode get_user_page() always for
page lookup. It prevents the lookup of both file page of private
mappings and zero page.
Performance concerns:
Probaly very little, because glibc always initialize variables
for futex before to call futex(). It means glibc users never see
the overhead of this patch.
Compatibility concerns:
This patch has few compatibility issues. After this patch,
FUTEX_WAIT require writable access to futex variables (read-only
mappings makes EFAULT). But practically it's not a problem,
glibc always initalizes variables for futexes explicitly - nobody
uses read-only mappings.

When print-fatal-signals is enabled it's possible to dump any memory
reachable by the kernel to the log by simply jumping to that address from
user space.
Or crash the system if there's some hardware with read side effects.
The fatal signals handler will dump 16 bytes at the execution address,
which is fully controlled by ring 3.
In addition when something jumps to a unmapped address there will be up to
16 additional useless page faults, which might be potentially slow (and at
least is not very efficient)
Fortunately this option is off by default and only there on i386.
But fix it by checking for kernel addresses and also stopping when there's
a page fault.

The LTP cgroup test suite generates a "kernel BUG at kernel/cgroup.c:790!"
here in cgroup_diput():
/*
* if we're getting rid of the cgroup, refcount should ensure
* that there are no pidlists left.
*/
BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cgrp->pidlists));
The cgroup pidlist rework in 2.6.32 generates the BUG_ON, which is caused
when pidlist_array_load() calls cgroup_pidlist_find():
(1) if a matching cgroup_pidlist is found, it down_write's the mutex of the
pre-existing cgroup_pidlist, and increments its use_count.
(2) if no matching cgroup_pidlist is found, then a new one is allocated, it
down_write's its mutex, and the use_count is set to 0.
(3) the matching, or new, cgroup_pidlist gets returned back to pidlist_array_load(),
which increments its use_count -- regardless whether new or pre-existing --
and up_write's the mutex.
So if a matching list is ever encountered by cgroup_pidlist_find() during
the life of a cgroup directory, it results in an inflated use_count value,
preventing it from ever getting released by cgroup_release_pid_array().
Then if the directory is subsequently removed, cgroup_diput() hits the
BUG_ON() when it finds that the directory's cgroup is still populated with
a pidlist.
The patch simply removes the use_count increment when a matching pidlist
is found by cgroup_pidlist_find(), because it gets bumped by the calling
pidlist_array_load() function while still protected by the list's mutex.

Fix resource (write-pipe file) leak in call_usermodehelper_pipe().
When call_usermodehelper_exec() fails, write-pipe file is opened and
call_usermodehelper_pipe() just returns an error. Since it is hard for
caller to determine whether the error occured when opening the pipe or
executing the helper, the caller cannot close the pipe by themselves.
I've found this resoruce leak when testing coredump. You can check how
the resource leaks as below;
$ echo "|nocommand" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ while [ 1 ]; do ./segv; done &> /dev/null &
$ cat /proc/meminfo (<- repeat it)
where segv.c is;
//-----
int main () {
char *p = 0;
*p = 1;
}

If the very unlikely case happens where the writer moves the head by one
between where the head page is read and where the new reader page
is assigned _and_ the writer then writes and wraps the entire ring buffer
so that the head page is back to what was originally read as the head page,
the page to be swapped will have a corrupted next pointer.
Simple solution is to wrap the assignment of the next pointer with a
rb_list_head().
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
This reference at the end of rb_get_reader_page() was causing off-by-one
writes to the prev pointer of the page after the reader page when that
page is the head page, and therefore the reader page has the RB_PAGE_HEAD
flag in its list.next pointer. This eventually results in a GPF in a
subsequent call to rb_set_head_page() (usually from rb_get_reader_page())
when that prev pointer is dereferenced. The dereferenced register would
characteristically have an address that appears shifted left by one byte
(eg, ffxxxxxxxxxxxxyy instead of ffffxxxxxxxxxxxx) due to being written at
an address one byte too high.

Every time I see this:
kernel/kprobes.c: In function 'register_kretprobe':
kernel/kprobes.c:1038: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
I'm wondering if something changed in common code and we need to
do something for s390. Apparently that's not the case.
Let's get rid of this annoying warning.

* 'sysctl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6:
SYSCTL: Add a mutex to the page_alloc zone order sysctl
SYSCTL: Print binary sysctl warnings (nearly) only once
When printing legacy sysctls print the warning message
for each of them only once. This way there is a guarantee
the syslog won't be flooded for any sane program.
The original attempt at this made the tables non const and stored
the flag inline.
Linus suggested using a separate hash table for this, this is based on a
code snippet from him.
The hash implies this is not exact and can sometimes not print a
new sysctl due to a hash collision, but in practice this should not
be a problem
I used a FNV32 hash over the binary string with a 32byte bitmap. This
gives relatively little collisions when all the predefined binary sysctls
are hashed:
size 256
bucket
length number
0: [25]
1: [67]
2: [88]
3: [47]
4: [22]
5: [6]
6: [1]
The worst case is a single collision of 6 hash values.

Effectively reverts 738d2be430.
As demonstrated by Eric, we really need to call __set_task_cpu()
early in the fork() path to properly initialize the various task
state -- specifically the cgroup state through set_task_rq().
[ we could probably fix this by explicitly calling
__set_task_cpu() from sched_fork(), but lets try that for the
next cycle and simply revert to the old behaviour for now. ]
