exec: make do_coredump() more resilient to recursive crashes

Change how we detect recursive dumps.

Currently we have a mechanism by which we try to compare pathnames of the
crashing process to the core_pattern path.  This is broken for a dozen
reasons, and just doesn't work in any sort of robust way.

I'm replacing it with the use of a 0 RLIMIT_CORE value.  Since helper apps
set RLIMIT_CORE to zero, we don't write out core files for any process
with that particular limit set.  It the core_pattern is a pipe, any
non-zero limit is translated to RLIM_INFINITY.

This allows complete dumps to be captured, but prevents infinite recursion
in the event that the core_pattern process itself crashes.

This is bug: user can pass ->wo_info == NULL and sys_waitid() will return

man 2 waitid says:

waitid(): returns 0 on success

Test-case:

Result:

Assertion `waitid(P_ALL, 0, ((void *)0), 4) == 0' failed.

User-visible change: sys_waitid() will return 0 on success, either

memcg: improve resource counter scalability

Reduce the resource counter overhead (mostly spinlock) associated with the
root cgroup.  This is a part of the several patches to reduce mem cgroup
overhead.  I had posted other approaches earlier (including using percpu
counters).  Those patches will be a natural addition and will be added
iteratively on top of these.

The patch stops resource counter accounting for the root cgroup.  The data
for display is derived from the statisitcs we maintain via
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics (which is more scalable).  What happens today
is that, we do double accounting, once using res_counter_charge() and once
using memory_cgroup_charge_statistics().  For the root, since we don't
implement limits any more, we don't need to track every charge via
res_counter_charge() and check for limit being exceeded and reclaim.

The main mem->res usage_in_bytes can be derived by summing the cache and
rss usage data from memory statistics (MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE).  However, for memsw->res usage_in_bytes, we need
additional data about swapped out memory.  This patch adds a
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT and uses that along with MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE to derive the memsw data.  This data is computed
recursively when hierarchy is enabled.

The tests results I see on a 24 way show that

1. The lock contention disappears from /proc/lock_stats
2. The results of the test are comparable to running with

memory controller: soft limit organize cgroups

Organize cgroups over soft limit in a RB-Tree

Introduce an RB-Tree for storing memory cgroups that are over their soft
limit.  The overall goal is to

1. Add a memory cgroup to the RB-Tree when the soft limit is exceeded.
   We are careful about updates, updates take place only after a particular
   time interval has passed
2. We remove the node from the RB-Tree when the usage goes below the soft
   limit

The next set of patches will exploit the RB-Tree to get the group that is
over its soft limit by the largest amount and reclaim from it, when we
face memory contention.

memory controller: soft limit documentation

Soft limits is a new feature for the memory resource controller, something
similar has existed in the group scheduler in the form of shares.  The CPU
controllers interpretation of shares is very different though.

Soft limits are the most useful feature to have for environments where the
administrator wants to overcommit the system, such that only on memory
contention do the limits become active.  The current soft limits

reclaiming from the group that exceeds this limit by the maximum amount.

cgroups: revert "cgroups: fix pid namespace bug"

The following series adds a "cgroup.procs" file to each cgroup that
reports unique tgids rather than pids, and allows all threads in a
threadgroup to be atomically moved to a new cgroup.

The subsystem "attach" interface is modified to support attaching whole
threadgroups at a time, which could introduce potential problems if any
subsystem were to need to access the old cgroup of every thread being
moved.  The attach interface may need to be revised if this becomes the
case.

Also added is functionality for read/write locking all CLONE_THREAD
fork()ing within a threadgroup, by means of an rwsem that lives in the
sighand_struct, for per-threadgroup-ness and also for sharing a cacheline
with the sighand's atomic count.  This scheme should introduce no extra
overhead in the fork path when there's no contention.

The final patch reveals potential for a race when forking before a
subsystem's attach function is called - one potential solution in case any
subsystem has this problem is to hang on to the group's fork mutex through
the attach() calls, though no subsystem yet demonstrates need for an
extended critical section.

one per subsystem.

time: add function to convert between calendar time and broken-down time for universal use

There are many similar code in kernel for one object: convert time between
calendar time and broken-down time.

Here is some source I found:
  fs/ncpfs/dir.c
  fs/smbfs/proc.c
  fs/fat/misc.c
  fs/udf/udftime.c
  fs/cifs/netmisc.c

  arch/m68k/mac/misc.c
  arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c
  arch/parisc/include/asm/rtc.h
  ...

We can make a common function for this type of conversion, At least we
can get following benefit:

1: Make kernel simple and unify
2: Easy to fix bug in converting code
3: Reduce clone of code in future
   For example, I'm trying to make ftrace display walltime,
   this patch will make me easy.

This code is based on code from glibc-2.6

ksm: change default values to better fit into mainline kernel

Now that ksm is in mainline it is better to change the default values to

This patch change the ksm default values to be:

ksm_thread_pages_to_scan = 100 (instead of 200)
ksm_thread_sleep_millisecs = 20 (like before)
ksm_run = KSM_RUN_STOP (instead of KSM_RUN_MERGE - meaning ksm is
                        disabled by default)
ksm_max_kernel_pages = nr_free_buffer_pages / 4 (instead of 2046)

The important aspect of this patch is: it disables ksm by default, and sets

number.

But it selects LEDS_CLASS, which confuses a number of other drivers into
thinking that all the leds infrastructure is in place.

Fix this by selecting NEW_LEDS as well, like similar drivers do.

Revert "kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code"

This reverts commit c02e3f361c7 ("kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code")

The patch is wrong.  UMH_WAIT_EXEC is called with VFORK what ensures
that the child finishes prior returing back to the parent.  No race.

In fact, the patch makes it even worse because it does the thing it
claims not do:

 - It calls ->complete() on UMH_WAIT_EXEC

 - the complete() callback may de-allocated subinfo as seen in the
   following call chain:

    [<c009f904>] (__link_path_walk+0x20/0xeb4) from [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94)
    [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94) from [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c)

    [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80) from [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148)
    [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148) from [<c0024858>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8)

   and the path pointer was NULL.  Good that ARM's kernel_execve()
   doesn't check the pointer for NULL or else I wouldn't notice it.

The only race there might be is with UMH_NO_WAIT but it is too late for
me to investigate it now.  UMH_WAIT_PROC could probably also use VFORK
and we could save one exec.  So the only race I see is with UMH_NO_WAIT
and recent scheduler changes where the child does not always run first
might have trigger here something but as I said, it is late....

hwmon: Delete deprecated FSC drivers

The legacy fscpos and fscher drivers have been replaced by the unified
fschmd driver. The transition period is over now, we can delete them.

hwmon: (adm1031) Add sysfs files for temperature offsets

The ADM1030/ADM1031 chips have temperature offset registers, for both the
local and remote temperature sensors. Following the example set forth in
the LM90/ADM1032 driver, expose the offset registers to userspace.

NFS: Propagate 'fsc' mount option through automounts

Propagate the NFS 'fsc' mount option through NFS automounts of various types.

This is now required as commit:

commit c02d7adf8c5429727a98bad1d039bccad4c61c50
Author: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
Date:   Mon Jun 22 15:09:14 2009 -0400

NFSv4: Replace nfs4_path_walk() with VFS path lookup in a private namespace

uses VFS-driven automounting to reach all submounts barring the root, thus
preventing fscaching from being enabled on any submount other than the root.

This patch gets around that by propagating the NFS_OPTION_FSCACHE flag across
automounts.  If a uniquifier is supplied to a mount then this is propagated to
all automounts of that mount too.
