ff4b8a57f0 Merge branch 'driver-core-next' into Linux 3.2
This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
file, that the merge did not catch.

The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
<sfr@canb.auug.org.au> who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

fd77846152 security: remove the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()
Once upon a time netlink was not sync and we had to get the effective
capabilities from the skb that was being received.  Today we instead get
the capabilities from the current task.  This has rendered the entire
purpose of the hook moot as it is now functionally equivalent to the
capable() call.

69f594a389 ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/stat
Reading /proc/pid/stat of another process checks if one has ptrace permissions
on that process.  If one does have permissions it outputs some data about the
process which might have security and attack implications.  If the current
task does not have ptrace permissions the read still works, but those fields
are filled with inocuous (0) values.  Since this check and a subsequent denial
is not a violation of the security policy we should not audit such denials.

This can be quite useful to removing ptrace broadly across a system without
flooding the logs when ps is run or something which harmlessly walks proc.

f1c84dae0e capabilities: remove task_ns_* functions
task_ in the front of a function, in the security subsystem anyway, means
to me at least, that we are operating with that task as the subject of the
security decision.  In this case what it means is that we are using current as
the subject but we use the task to get the right namespace.  Who in the world
would ever realize that's what task_ns_capability means just by the name?  This
patch eliminates the task_ns functions entirely and uses the has_ns_capability
function instead.  This means we explicitly open code the ns in question in
the caller.  I think it makes the caller a LOT more clear what is going on.

Declare the more specific has_ns_capability first in the code and then call it
from has_capability.  The declaration reversal isn't stricty necessary since
they are both declared in header files, but it just makes sense to put more

b7e724d303 capabilities: reverse arguments to security_capable
security_capable takes ns, cred, cap.  But the LSM capable() hook takes
cred, ns, cap.  The capability helper functions also take cred, ns, cap.
Rather than flip argument order just to flip it back, leave them alone.
Heck, this should be a little faster since argument will be in the right
place!

0d19ea8665 cgroup: fix to allow mounting a hierarchy by name
If we mount a hierarchy with a specified name, the name is unique,
and we can use it to mount the hierarchy without specifying its
set of subsystem names. This feature is documented is
Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt section 2.3

Here's an example:

	# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,name=myhier xxx /cgroup1
	# mount -t cgroup -o name=myhier xxx /cgroup2

But it was broken by commit 32a8cf235e
(cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurate)

This fixes the regression.

8a88951b58 ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detach
This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this
area.

1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the
   stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is
   not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running
   thread which can initiate another group-stop.

   Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace).

2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached
   and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING
   but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr)
   in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches.

   Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report.

   Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from
   current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the
   possible similar problems.

50b8d25748 ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE race
Test-case:

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		pid = fork();
		if (!pid) {
			for (;;) {
				if (!fork())
					return 0;
				if (waitpid(-1, &status, 0) < 0) {
					printf("ERR!! wait: %m\n");
					return 0;
				}
			}
		}

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(waitpid(-1, NULL, 0) == pid);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0,
					PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK) == 0);

		do {
			ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, 0);
			pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, 0);
		} while (pid > 0);

		return 1;
	}

It fails because ->real_parent sees its child in EXIT_DEAD state
while the tracer is going to change the state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE
in wait_task_zombie().

The offending commit is 823b018e which moved the EXIT_DEAD check,
but in fact we should not blame it. The original code was not
correct as well because it didn't take ptrace_reparented() into
account and because we can't really trust ->ptrace.

This patch adds the additional check to close this particular
race but it doesn't solve the whole problem. We simply can't
rely on ->ptrace in this case, it can be cleared if the tracer
is multithreaded by the exiting ->parent.

I think we should kill EXIT_DEAD altogether, we should always
remove the soon-to-be-reaped child from ->children or at least
we should never do the DEAD->ZOMBIE transition. But this is too
complex for 3.2.

e6780f7243 futex: Fix uninterruptible loop due to gate_area
It was found (by Sasha) that if you use a futex located in the gate
area we get stuck in an uninterruptible infinite loop, much like the
ZERO_PAGE issue.

While looking at this problem, PeterZ realized you'll get into similar
trouble when hitting any install_special_pages() mapping.  And are there
still drivers setting up their own special mmaps without page->mapping,
and without special VM or pte flags to make get_user_pages fail?

In most cases, if page->mapping is NULL, we do not need to retry at all:
Linus points out that even /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches poses no problem,
because it ends up using remove_mapping(), which takes care not to
interfere when the page reference count is raised.

But there is still one case which does need a retry: if memory pressure
called shmem_writepage in between get_user_pages_fast dropping page
table lock and our acquiring page lock, then the page gets switched from
filecache to swapcache (and ->mapping set to NULL) whatever the refcount.
Fault it back in to get the page->mapping needed for key->shared.inode.

7e3aa30ac8 cgroup: Remove task_lock() from cgroup_post_fork()
cgroup_post_fork() is protected between threadgroup_change_begin()
and threadgroup_change_end() against concurrent changes of the
child's css_set in cgroup_task_migrate(). Also the child can't
exit and call cgroup_exit() at this stage, this means it's css_set
can't be changed with init_css_set concurrently.

For these reasons, we don't need to hold task_lock() on the child
because it's css_set can only remain stable in this place.

Let's remove the lock there.

v2: Update comment to explain that we are safe against
cgroup_exit()

c87fb57346 ARM: 7235/1: irqdomain: export irq_domain_simple_ops for !CONFIG_OF
irqdomain support is used in interrupt controller drivers that may not
have device tree support but only need the basic HW->Linux irq
translation.  Rather than having each of these implement their own IRQ
domain, allow them to use the simple ops.

1ac9bc6943 sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptime
If CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is defined, the kernel maintains
information about how long the task was sleeping or
in the case of iowait, blocking in the kernel before
getting woken up.

This will be useful for sleep time profiling.

Note: this information is only provided for sched_fair.
Other scheduling classes may choose to provide this in
the future.

Note: the delay includes the time spent on the runqueue
as well.

664dfa65e8 sched: Disable scheduler warnings during oopses
The panic-on-framebuffer code seems to cause a schedule
to occur during an oops. This causes a bunch of extra
spew as can be seen in:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=549230

Don't do scheduler debug checks when we are oopsing already.

oldcgrp==newcgrp once. Now that we are using threadgroup_lock()
during the migrations, oldcgrp will not change.
