Enable hardware memory error handling for NFS
Truncation of data pages at runtime should be safe in NFS,
even when it doesn't support migration so far.
Trond tells me migration is also queued up for 2.6.32.

Enable removing of corrupted pages through truncation
for a bunch of file systems: ext*, xfs, gfs2, ocfs2, ntfs
These should cover most server needs.
I chose the set of migration aware file systems for this
for now, assuming they have been especially audited.
But in general it should be safe for all file systems
on the data area that support read/write and truncate.
Caveat: the hardware error handler does not take i_mutex
for now before calling the truncate function. Is that ok?

Add the high level memory handler that poisons pages
that got corrupted by hardware (typically by a two bit flip in a DIMM
or a cache) on the Linux level. The goal is to prevent everyone
from accessing these pages in the future.
This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned
and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page
it is.
The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c
To quote the overview comment:
High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the
hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache
failure.
This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background.
When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently
running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies
that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to
just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead
when that happens another machine check will happen.
Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part
here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM
users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere,
possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code
has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking
rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the
error handling takes potentially a long time.
Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non
linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not
been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case
for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected
to be rare we hope we can get away with this.
There are in principle two strategies to kill processes on poison:
- just unmap the data and wait for an actual reference before
killing
- kill as soon as corruption is detected.
Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used
in different situations. Right now both are implemented and can
be switched with a new sysctl vm.memory_failure_early_kill
The default is early kill.
The patch does some rmap data structure walking on its own to collect
processes to kill. This is unusual because normally all rmap data structure
knowledge is in rmap.c only. I put it here for now to keep
everything together and rmap knowledge has been seeping out anyways

This allows processes to override their early/late kill
behaviour on hardware memory errors.
Typically applications which are memory error aware is
better of with early kill (see the error as soon
as possible), all others with late kill (only
see the error when the error is really impacting execution)
There's a global sysctl, but this way an application
can set its specific policy.
We're using two bits, one to signify that the process
stated its intention and that
I also made the prctl future proof by enforcing
the unused arguments are 0.
The state is inherited to children.
Note this makes us officially run out of process flags
on 32bit, but the next patch can easily add another field.
Manpage patch will be supplied separately.

The dirtying of page and set_page_dirty() can be moved into the page lock.
- In shmem_write_end(), the page was dirtied while the page lock was held,
but it's being marked dirty just after dropping the page lock.
- In shmem_symlink(), both dirtying and marking can be moved into page lock.
It's valuable for the hwpoison code to know whether one bad page can be dropped
without losing data. It mainly judges by testing the PG_dirty bit after taking
the page lock. So it becomes important that the dirtying of page and the
marking of dirtiness are both done inside the page lock. Which is a common
practice, but sadly not a rule.
The noticeable exceptions are
- mapped pages
- pages with buffer_heads
The above pages could go dirty at any time. Fortunately the hwpoison will
unmap the page and release the buffer_heads beforehand anyway.
Many other types of pages (eg. metadata pages) can also be dirtied at will by
their owners, the hwpoison code cannot do meaningful things to them anyway.
Only the dirtiness of pagecache pages owned by regular files are interested.

Truncating metadata pages is not safe right now before
we haven't audited all file systems.
To enable truncation only for data address space define
a new address_space callback error_remove_page.
This is used for memory_failure.c memory error handling.
This can be then set to truncate_inode_page()
This patch just defines the new operation and adds documentation.

If memory corruption hits the free buddy pages, we can safely ignore them.
No one will access them until page allocation time, then prep_new_page()
will automatically check and isolate PG_hwpoison page for us (for 0-order
allocation).
This patch expands prep_new_page() to check every component page in a high
order page allocation, in order to completely stop PG_hwpoison pages from
being recirculated.
Note that the common case -- only allocating a single page, doesn't
do any more work than before. Allocating > order 0 does a bit more work,
but that's relatively uncommon.
This simple implementation may drop some innocent neighbor pages, hopefully
it is not a big problem because the event should be rare enough.
This patch adds some runtime costs to high order page users.

try_to_unmap currently has multiple modi (migration, munlock, normal unmap)
which are selected by magic flag variables. The logic is not very straight
forward, because each of these flag change multiple behaviours (e.g.
migration turns off aging, not only sets up migration ptes etc.)
Also the different flags interact in magic ways.
A later patch in this series adds another mode to try_to_unmap, so
this becomes quickly unmanageable.
Replace the different flags with a action code (migration, munlock, munmap)
and some additional flags as modifiers (ignore mlock, ignore aging).
This makes the logic more straight forward and allows easier extension
to new behaviours. Change all the caller to declare what they want to
do.
This patch is supposed to be a nop in behaviour. If anyone can prove
it is not that would be a bug.

Bail out early when hardware poisoned pages are found in page fault handling.

Add new SIGBUS codes for reporting machine checks as signals. When
the hardware detects an uncorrected ECC error it can trigger these
signals.
This is needed for telling KVM's qemu about machine checks that happen to
guests, so that it can inject them, but might be also useful for other programs.
I find it useful in my test programs.
This patch merely defines the new types.
- Define two new si_codes for SIGBUS. BUS_MCEERR_AO and BUS_MCEERR_AR
* BUS_MCEERR_AO is for "Action Optional" machine checks, which means that some
corruption has been detected in the background, but nothing has been consumed
so far. The program can ignore those if it wants (but most programs would
already get killed)
* BUS_MCEERR_AR is for "Action Required" machine checks. This happens
when corrupted data is consumed or the application ran into an area
which has been known to be corrupted earlier. These require immediate
action and cannot just returned to. Most programs would kill themselves.
- They report the address of the corruption in the user address space
in si_addr.
- Define a new si_addr_lsb field that reports the extent of the corruption
to user space. That's currently always a (small) page. The user application
cannot tell where in this page the corruption happened.
AK: I plan to write a man page update before anyone asks.

Fix up trivial conflict in arch/arm/kernel/signal.c.
It was due to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME addition in commit d0420c83f ("KEYS:
Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures") and follow-ups.
My 353d5c30c6 "mm: fix hugetlb bug due to
user_shm_unlock call" broke the CONFIG_SYSVIPC !CONFIG_MMU build of both
2.6.31 and 2.6.30.6: "undefined reference to `user_shm_unlock'".
gcc didn't understand my comment! so couldn't figure out to optimize
away user_shm_unlock() from the error path in the hugetlb-less case, as
it does elsewhere. Help it to do so, in a language it understands.

console_print() is an old legacy interface mostly unused in the entire
kernel tree. It's best to clean up its existing use and let developers
use their own implementation of it as they feel fit.

Fix a number of problems with the new key garbage collector:
(1) A rogue semicolon in keyring_gc() was causing the initial count of dead
keys to be miscalculated.
(2) A missing return in keyring_gc() meant that under certain circumstances,
the keyring semaphore would be unlocked twice.
(3) The key serial tree iterator (key_garbage_collector()) part of the garbage
collector has been modified to:
(a) Complete each scan of the keyrings before setting the new timer.
(b) Only set the new timer for keys that have yet to expire. This means
that the new timer is now calculated correctly, and the gc doesn't
get into a loop continually scanning for keys that have expired, and
preventing other things from happening, like RCU cleaning up the old
keyring contents.
(c) Perform an extra scan if any keys were garbage collected in this one
as a key might become garbage during a scan, and (b) could mean we
don't set the timer again.
(4) Made key_schedule_gc() take the time at which to do a collection run,
rather than the time at which the key expires. This means the collection
of dead keys (key type unregistered) can happen immediately.

When we exit early from keyctl_session_to_parent because of permissions or
because the session keyring is the same as the parent, we need to unlock the
tasklist.
The missing unlock causes the system to hang completely when using
keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT) with a keyring shared with the parent.

put_cred() will oops if given a NULL groups list, but that is now possible with
the existence of cred_alloc_blank(), as used in keyctl_session_to_parent().
