We respect node affinity of devices already in the irq descriptor
allocation, but we ignore it for the initial interrupt affinity
setup, so the interrupt might be routed to a different node.
Restrict the default affinity mask to the node on which the irq
descriptor is allocated.

The only place irq_finalize_oneshot() is called with force parameter set
is the threaded handler error exit path. But IRQTF_RUNTHREAD is dropped
at this point and irq_wake_thread() is not going to set it again,
since PF_EXITING is set for this thread already. So irq_finalize_oneshot()
will drop the threads bit in threads_oneshot anyway and hence the force
parameter is superfluous.

exit_irq_thread() clears IRQTF_RUNTHREAD flag and drops the thread's bit in
desc->threads_oneshot then. The bit must not be set again in between and it
does not, since irq_wake_thread() sees PF_EXITING flag first and returns.
Due to above the order or checking PF_EXITING and IRQTF_RUNTHREAD flags in
irq_wake_thread() is important. This change just makes it more visible in the
source code.

If schedule is called from an interrupt handler __schedule_bug()
will call show_regs() with the registers saved during the
interrupt handling done in do_IRQ(). This means we'll see the
registers and the backtrace for the process that was interrupted
and not the full backtrace explaining who called schedule().
This is due to 838225b ("sched: use show_regs() to improve
__schedule_bug() output", 2007-10-24) which improperly assumed
that get_irq_regs() would return the registers for the current
stack because it is being called from within an interrupt
handler. Simply remove the show_reg() code so that we dump a
backtrace for the interrupt handler that called schedule().
[ I ran across this when I was presented with a scheduling while
atomic log with a stacktrace pointing at spin_unlock_irqrestore().
It made no sense and I had to guess what interrupt handler could
be called and poke around for someone calling schedule() in an
interrupt handler. A simple test of putting an msleep() in
an interrupt handler works better with this patch because you
can actually see the msleep() call in the backtrace. ]

In the case of a child pid namespace, rebooting the system does not really
makes sense. When the pid namespace is used in conjunction with the other
namespaces in order to create a linux container, the reboot syscall leads
to some problems.
A container can reboot the host. That can be fixed by dropping the
sys_reboot capability but we are unable to correctly to poweroff/
halt/reboot a container and the container stays stuck at the shutdown time
with the container's init process waiting indefinitively.
After several attempts, no solution from userspace was found to reliabily
handle the shutdown from a container.
This patch propose to make the init process of the child pid namespace to
exit with a signal status set to : SIGINT if the child pid namespace
called "halt/poweroff" and SIGHUP if the child pid namespace called
"reboot". When the reboot syscall is called and we are not in the initial
pid namespace, we kill the pid namespace for "HALT", "POWEROFF",
"RESTART", and "RESTART2". Otherwise we return EINVAL.
Returning EINVAL is also an easy way to check if this feature is supported
by the kernel when invoking another 'reboot' option like CAD.
By this way the parent process of the child pid namespace knows if it
rebooted or not and can take the right decision.

Use bitmap_set() instead of using set_bit() for each bit. This conversion
is valid because the bitmap is private in the function call and atomic
bitops were unnecessary.

Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask() and
calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied as a
parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu.
The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a time
via smp_call_function_single().
The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific code that
decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for a specific request
from the common boilerplate code of handling creating the mask, handling
failures etc.

We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems
such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task:
cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter.
Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs
for various needs. These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided
altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific
CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system.
This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic
Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying
to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls
are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group
of CPUs. The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the
right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is
even worth dealing with at all. Based on the feedback from this patch set
I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code
paths.
This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond()
infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific
versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI
invocation to per CPU group invocations.
Core kernel:
on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask,
which may or may not include the local processor.
You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.
arch/arm:
Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one:
1. It has the mask as first parameter
2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled,
but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
with interrupts disabled anyway.
arch/tile:
The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version
also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case
This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
with interrupts disabled.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

The new API, pm_qos_update_request_timeout() is to provide a timeout
with pm_qos_update_request.
For example, pm_qos_update_request_timeout(req, 100, 1000), means that
QoS request on req with value 100 will be active for 1000 microseconds.
After 1000 microseconds, the QoS request thru req is reset. If there
were another pm_qos_update_request(req, x) during the 1000 us, this
new request with value x will override as this is another request on the
same req handle. A new request on the same req handle will always
override the previous request whether it is the conventional request or
it is the new timeout request.

There is a race condition between the freezer and request_firmware()
such that if request_firmware() is run on one CPU and
freeze_processes() is run on another CPU and usermodehelper_disable()
called by it succeeds to grab umhelper_sem for writing before
usermodehelper_read_trylock() called from request_firmware()
acquires it for reading, the request_firmware() will fail and
trigger a WARN_ON() complaining that it was called at a wrong time.
However, in fact, it wasn't called at a wrong time and
freeze_processes() simply happened to be executed simultaneously.
To avoid this race, at least in some cases, modify
usermodehelper_read_trylock() so that it doesn't fail if the
freezing of tasks has just started and hasn't been completed yet.
Instead, during the freezing of tasks, it will try to freeze the
task that has called it so that it can wait until user space is
thawed without triggering the scary warning.
For this purpose, change usermodehelper_disabled so that it can
take three different values, UMH_ENABLED (0), UMH_FREEZING and
UMH_DISABLED. The first one means that usermode helpers are
enabled, the last one means "hard disable" (i.e. the system is not
ready for usermode helpers to be used) and the second one
is reserved for the freezer. Namely, when freeze_processes() is
started, it sets usermodehelper_disabled to UMH_FREEZING which
tells usermodehelper_read_trylock() that it shouldn't fail just
yet and should call try_to_freeze() if woken up and cannot
return immediately. This way all freezable tasks that happen
to call request_firmware() right before freeze_processes() is
started and lose the race for umhelper_sem with it will be
frozen and will sleep until thaw_processes() unsets
usermodehelper_disabled. [For the non-freezable callers of
request_firmware() the race for umhelper_sem against
freeze_processes() is unfortunately unavoidable.]

The core suspend/hibernation code calls usermodehelper_disable() to
avoid race conditions between the freezer and the starting of
usermode helpers and each code path has to do that on its own.
However, it is always called right before freeze_processes()
and usermodehelper_enable() is always called right after
thaw_processes(). For this reason, to avoid code duplication and
to make the connection between usermodehelper_disable() and the
freezer more visible, make freeze_processes() call it and remove the
direct usermodehelper_disable() and usermodehelper_enable() calls
from all suspend/hibernation code paths.

There is no reason to call usermodehelper_disable() before creating
memory bitmaps in hibernate() and software_resume(), so call it right
before freeze_processes(), in accordance with the other suspend and

after the thawing of tasks rather than after freeing the memory
bitmaps.

If firmware is requested asynchronously, by calling
request_firmware_nowait(), there is no reason to fail the request
(and warn the user) when the system is (presumably temporarily)
unready to handle it (because user space is not available yet or
frozen). For this reason, introduce an alternative routine for
read-locking umhelper_sem, usermodehelper_read_lock_wait(), that
will wait for usermodehelper_disabled to be unset (possibly with
a timeout) and make request_firmware_work_func() use it instead of
usermodehelper_read_trylock().
Accordingly, modify request_firmware() so that it uses
usermodehelper_read_trylock() to acquire umhelper_sem and remove
the code related to that lock from _request_firmware().

otherwise) and make _request_firmware() use it.

asm/system.h is a cause of circular dependency problems because it contains
commonly used primitive stuff like barrier definitions and uncommonly used
stuff like switch_to() that might require MMU definitions.
asm/system.h has been disintegrated by this point on all arches into the
following common segments:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Moved memory barrier definitions here.
(2) asm/cmpxchg.h
Moved xchg() and cmpxchg() here. #included in asm/atomic.h.

When reading the trace file, the records of each of the per_cpu buffers
are examined to find the next event to print out. At the point of looking
at the event, the size of the event is recorded. But if the first event is
chosen, the other events in the other CPU buffers will reset the event size
that is stored in the iterator descriptor, causing the event size passed to
the output functions to be incorrect.
In most cases this is not a problem, but for the case of stack traces, it
is. With the change to the stack tracing to record a dynamic number of
back traces, the output depends on the size of the entry instead of the
fixed 8 back traces. When the entry size is not correct, the back traces
would not be fully printed.
Note, reading from the per-cpu trace files were not affected.

More detailed explanation: if next is not NULL, then we have found a
candidate task, and its priority is next->prio. Now we are looking
for an even higher priority task in the other rt_rq's. idx is the
highest priority in the current candidate rt_rq. In the current 3.3
code, if idx is equal to next->prio, we would start scanning the tasks
in that rt_rq and replace the current candidate task with a task from
that rt_rq. But the new task would only have a priority that is equal
to our previous candidate task, so we have not advanced our goal of
finding a higher prio task. So we should avoid the extra work by
continuing on to the next rt_rq if idx is equal to next->prio.

Commit 5fbd036b55 ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness"), which was
supposed to finally sort the cpu_active mess, instead uncovered more.
Since CPU_STARTING is ran before setting the cpu online, there's a
(small) window where the cpu has active,!online.
If during this time there's a wakeup of a task that used to reside on
that cpu select_task_rq() will use select_fallback_rq() to compute an
alternative cpu to run on since we find !online.
select_fallback_rq() however will compute the new cpu against
cpu_active, this means that it can return the same cpu it started out
with, the !online one, since that cpu is in fact marked active.
This results in us trying to scheduling a task on an offline cpu and
triggering a WARN in the IPI code.
The solution proposed by Chuansheng Liu of setting cpu_active in
set_cpu_online() is buggy, firstly not all archs actually use
set_cpu_online(), secondly, not all archs call set_cpu_online() with
IRQs disabled, this means we would introduce either the same race or
the race from fd8a7de17 ("x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on
wrong CPU") -- albeit much narrower.
[ By setting online first and active later we have a window of
online,!active, fresh and bound kthreads have task_cpu() of 0 and
since cpu0 isn't in tsk_cpus_allowed() we end up in
select_fallback_rq() which excludes !active, resulting in a reset
of ->cpus_allowed and the thread running all over the place. ]
The solution is to re-work select_fallback_rq() to require active
_and_ online. This makes the active,!online case work as expected,
OTOH archs running CPU_STARTING after setting online are now
vulnerable to the issue from fd8a7de17 -- these are alpha and
blackfin.

This patch adds a set of macros that can be used to declare
kernel parameters to be parsed _before_ initcalls at a chosen
level are executed. We rename the now-unused "flags" field of
struct kernel_param as the level. It's signed, for when we
use this for early params as well, in future.
Linker macro collating init calls had to be modified in order
to add additional symbols between levels that are later used
by the init code to split the calls into blocks.

Pull sysctl updates from Eric Biederman:
- Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity.
Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing
network devices.
sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully
this means the code is now approachable.
Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
something was found that was usable.
- The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation
is fixed.

As Tetsuo Handa pointed out, request_module() can stress the system
while the oom-killed caller sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.
The task T uses "almost all" memory, then it does something which
triggers request_module(). Say, it can simply call sys_socket(). This
in turn needs more memory and leads to OOM. oom-killer correctly
chooses T and kills it, but this can't help because it sleeps in
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and after that oom-killer becomes "disabled" by the
TIF_MEMDIE task T.
Make __request_module() killable. The only necessary change is that
call_modprobe() should kmalloc argv and module_name, they can't live in
the stack if we use UMH_KILLABLE. This memory is freed via
call_usermodehelper_freeinfo()->cleanup.

Implement UMH_KILLABLE, should be used along with UMH_WAIT_EXEC/PROC.
The caller must ensure that subprocess_info->path/etc can not go away
until call_usermodehelper_freeinfo().
call_usermodehelper_exec(UMH_KILLABLE) does
wait_for_completion_killable. If it fails, it uses
xchg(&sub_info->complete, NULL) to serialize with umh_complete() which
does the same xhcg() to access sub_info->complete.
If call_usermodehelper_exec wins, it can safely return. umh_complete()
should get NULL and call call_usermodehelper_freeinfo().
Otherwise we know that umh_complete() was already called, in this case
call_usermodehelper_exec() falls back to wait_for_completion() which
should succeed "very soon".
Note: UMH_NO_WAIT == -1 but it obviously should not be used with
UMH_KILLABLE. We delay the neccessary cleanup to simplify the back
porting.

force_sig_info() and friends have the special semantics for synchronous
signals, this interface should not be used if the target is not current.
And it needs the fixes, in particular the clearing of SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE
is not exactly right.
However there are callers which have to use force_ exactly because it
clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE and thus it can kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks,
although this is almost always is wrong by various reasons.
With this patch SEND_SIG_FORCED ignores SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, like we do if
the signal comes from the ancestor namespace.
This makes the naming in prepare_signal() paths insane, fixed by the
next cleanup.
Note: this only affects SIGKILL/SIGSTOP, but this is enough for
force_sig() abusers.

This can be used to close a few corner cases in strace where we get
unwanted racy behavior after attach, but before we have a chance to set
options (the notorious post-execve SIGTRAP comes to mind), and removes
the need to track "did we set opts for this task" state in strace
internals.
While we are at it:
Make it possible to extend SEIZE in the future with more functionality
by passing non-zero 'addr' parameter. To that end, error out if 'addr'
is non-zero. PTRACE_ATTACH did not (and still does not) have such
check, and users (strace) do pass garbage there... let's avoid
repeating this mistake with SEIZE.
Set all task->ptrace bits in one operation - before this change, we were
adding PT_SEIZED and PT_PTRACE_CAP with task->ptrace |= BIT ops. This
was probably ok (not a bug), but let's be on a safer side.

Exchange PT_TRACESYSGOOD and PT_PTRACE_CAP bit positions, which makes
PT_option bits contiguous and therefore makes code in
ptrace_setoptions() much simpler.
Every PTRACE_O_TRACEevent is defined to (1 << PTRACE_EVENT_event)
instead of using explicit numeric constants, to ensure we don't mess up
relationship between bit positions and event ids.
PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT was not particularly useful, PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT with
value of PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT-1 is easier to use.

On ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, <opts>), we used to set those
option bits which are known, and then fail with -EINVAL if there are
some unknown bits in <opts>.
This is inconsistent with typical error handling, which does not change
any state if input is invalid.
This patch changes PTRACE_SETOPTIONS behavior so that in this case, we
return -EINVAL and don't change any bits in task->ptrace.
It's very unlikely that there is userspace code in the wild which will
be affected by this change: it should have the form
ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT)
where PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT is a constant unknown to the kernel. But kernel
headers, naturally, don't contain any PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPTs, thus the only
way userspace can use one if it defines one itself. I can't see why
anyone would do such a thing deliberately.
