Presently call_usermodehelper_setup() uses GFP_ATOMIC. but it can return
NULL _very_ easily.
GFP_ATOMIC is needed only when we can't sleep. and, GFP_KERNEL is robust
and better.
thus, I add gfp_mask argument to call_usermodehelper_setup().
So, its callers pass the gfp_t as below:
call_usermodehelper() and call_usermodehelper_keys():
depend on 'wait' argument.
call_usermodehelper_pipe():
always GFP_KERNEL because always run under process context.
orderly_poweroff():
pass to GFP_ATOMIC because may run under interrupt context.

Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled.
This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller.
As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are
now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are
measurable effects).
This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think
having more than two choices would be the better choice.
This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes
of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy
functions.

This patch adds O_NONBLOCK support to pipe2. It is minimally more involved

This patch is by far the most complex in the series. It adds a new syscall
paccept. This syscall differs from accept in that it adds (at the userlevel)
two additional parameters:
- a signal mask
- a flags value
The flags parameter can be used to set flag like SOCK_CLOEXEC. This is
imlpemented here as well. Some people argued that this is a property which
should be inherited from the file desriptor for the server but this is against
POSIX. Additionally, we really want the signal mask parameter as well
(similar to pselect, ppoll, etc). So an interface change in inevitable.
The flag value is the same as for socket and socketpair. I think diverging
here will only create confusion. Similar to the filesystem interfaces where
the use of the O_* constants differs, it is acceptable here.
The signal mask is handled as for pselect etc. The mask is temporarily
installed for the thread and removed before the call returns. I modeled the
code after pselect. If there is a problem it's likely also in pselect.
For architectures which use socketcall I maintained this interface instead of
adding a system call. The symmetry shouldn't be broken.
The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

set_type returns an int indicating success or failure, but up to now
setup_irq ignores that.
In my case this resulted in a machine hang:
gpio-keys requested IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING | IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, but
arm/ns9xxx can only trigger on one direction so set_type didn't touch
the configuration which happens do default to a level sensitiveness and
returned -EINVAL. setup_irq ignored that and unmasked the irq. This
resulted in an endless triggering of the gpio-key interrupt service
routine which effectively killed the machine.
With this patch applied setup_irq propagates the error to the caller.

Boot-time test for system suspend states (STR or standby). The generic
RTC framework triggers wakeup alarms, which are used to exit those states.
- Measures some aspects of suspend time ... this uses "jiffies" until
someone converts it to use a timebase that works properly even while
timer IRQs are disabled.
- Triggered by a command line parameter. By default nothing even
vaguely troublesome will happen, but "test_suspend=mem" will give
you a brief STR test during system boot. (Or you may need to use
"test_suspend=standby" instead, if your hardware needs that.)
This isn't without problems. It fires early enough during boot that for
example both PCMCIA and MMC stacks have misbehaved. The workaround in
those cases was to boot without such media cards inserted.

To date, we've tried hard to confine filesystem support for capabilities
to the security modules. This has left a lot of the code in
kernel/capability.c in a state where it looks like it supports something
that filesystem support for capabilities actually suppresses when the LSM
security/commmoncap.c code runs. What is left is a lot of code that uses
sub-optimal locking in the main kernel
With this change we refactor the main kernel code and make it explicit
which locks are needed and that the only remaining kernel races in this
area are associated with non-filesystem capability code.

This patch reserves huge pages at mmap() time for MAP_PRIVATE mappings in
a similar manner to the reservations taken for MAP_SHARED mappings. The
reserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for
private mappings. This guarantees that a process that successfully calls
mmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is
called.
The characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after
this patch are;
1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until
it forks().
2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private
mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably
reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of
hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as
might occur when fork()ing to exec().
3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already
faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough
huge pages being free in the pool.
4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper
and at fault time otherwise.
Before this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page
allocations that can later lead to the death of the parent. This applies
to reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW. After the
patch it is only a write to an instantiated page that causes problems.

This adds a fast path for 64-bit syscall entry and exit when
TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is set, but no other kind of syscall tracing.
This path does not need to save and restore all registers as
the general case of tracing does. Avoiding the iret return path
when syscall audit is enabled helps performance a lot.

This patch keeps track of the boundaries of module allocation, in
order to speed up module_text_address().
Inspired by Arjan's version, which required arch-specific defines:
Various pieces of the kernel (lockdep, latencytop, etc) tend
to store backtraces, sometimes at a relatively high
frequency. In itself this isn't a big performance deal (after
all you're using diagnostics features), but there have been
some complaints from people who have over 100 modules loaded
that this is a tad too slow.
This is due to the new backtracer code which looks at every
slot on the stack to see if it's a kernel/module text address,
so that's 1024 slots. 1024 times 100 modules... that's a lot
of list walking.

This shrinks module.o and each *.ko file.
And finally, structure members which hold length of module
code (four such members there) and count of symbols
are converted from longs to ints.
We cannot possibly have a module where 32 bits won't
be enough to hold such counts.
For one, module loading checks module size for sanity
before loading, so such insanely big module will fail
that test first.

and this code is compiled in even if CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS is not set

(because EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL(x) are compiled out to nothing then).

rmmod has a little-used "-w" option, meaning that instead of failing if the
module is in use, it should block until the module becomes unused.
In this case, we don't need to use stop_machine: Max Krasnyansky
indicated that would be useful for SystemTap which loads/unloads new
modules frequently.

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.
I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.
I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Right, I never liked having to fiddle with those TIF flags. Initially I
needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock.
That however is fixed these days.
Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote
wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking
about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement
hrtimer_start_on().
However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works
from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes
that does seem to be supported, good.
Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ...
Mihai reported test success as well.

* Optimize various places where a pointer to the cpumask_of_cpu value
will result in reducing stack pressure.
Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu
with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros. These are patterned after the
node_to_cpumask_ptr macros.
In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to
the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used. The cpumask_of_cpu_map
is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing
greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for
cpumask_of_cpu(). The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for
calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space
needed to pass the cpumask_t value.
If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is
declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as
a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable. Afterwards,
the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value. The compiler
will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well
as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code.
A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c:
case SVC_POOL_PERCPU:
{
unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx];
cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu);
*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);
return 1;
}
case SVC_POOL_PERNODE:
{
unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx];
node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node);
*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask);
return 1;
}
