8d3d5ada56 sched_rt: Avoid unnecessary dequeue and enqueue of pushable tasks in set_cpus_allowed_rt()
Migration status depends on a difference of weight from 0 and 1.
If weight > 1 (<= 1) and old weight <= 1 (> 1) then task becomes
pushable (or not pushable). We are not insterested in its exact
values, is it 3 or 4, for example.
Now if we are changing affinity from a set of 3 cpus to a set of 4, the-
task will be dequeued and enqueued sequentially without important
difference in comparison with initial state. The only difference is in
internal representation of plist queue of pushable tasks and the fact
that the task may won't be the first in a sequence of the same priority
tasks. But it seems to me it gives nothing.

026ee1f66a panic: fix stack dump print on direct call to panic()
Commit 6e6f0a1f0f ("panic: don't print redundant backtraces on oops")
causes a regression where no stack trace will be printed at all for the
case where kernel code calls panic() directly while not processing an
oops, and of course there are 100's of instances of this type of call.

The original commit executed the check (!oops_in_progress), but this will
always be false because just before the dump_stack() there is a call to
bust_spinlocks(1), which does the following:

  void __attribute__((weak)) bust_spinlocks(int yes)
  {
	if (yes) {
		++oops_in_progress;

The proper way to resolve the problem that original commit tried to
solve is to avoid printing a stack dump from panic() when the either of
the following conditions is true:

  1) TAINT_DIE has been set (this is done by oops_end())
     This indicates and oops has already been printed.
  2) oops_in_progress > 1
     This guards against the rare case where panic() is invoked
     a second time, or in between oops_begin() and oops_end()

7e06648972 irqdomain bug fixes for v3.4-rc3
This branch fixes a bug in irq_create_mapping() where an error return
 from irq_alloc_desc_from() gets ignored.  It also removes irq_virq_count
 to fix a bug on powerpc where the irqdomain code does not find irqs
 allocated above the CONFIG_NR_IRQS boundary.  The remaining patches get
 rid of an completely pointless export and fix some minor bugs in the
 irqdomain debug output.

6fa6c8e25e irq_domain: Move irq_virq_count into NOMAP revmap
This patch replaces the old global setting of irq_virq_count that is only
used by the NOMAP mapping and instead uses a revmap_data property so that
the maximum NOMAP allocation can be set per NOMAP irq_domain.

There is exactly one user of irq_virq_count in-tree right now: PS3.
Also, irq_virq_count is only useful for the NOMAP mapping.  So,
instead of having a single global irq_virq_count values, this change
drops it entirely and added a max_irq argument to irq_domain_add_nomap().
That makes it a property of an individual nomap irq domain instead of
a global system settting.

79549c6dfd cred: copy_process() should clear child->replacement_session_keyring
keyctl_session_to_parent(task) sets ->replacement_session_keyring,
it should be processed and cleared by key_replace_session_keyring().

However, this task can fork before it notices TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME and
the new child gets the bogus ->replacement_session_keyring copied by
dup_task_struct(). This is obviously wrong and, if nothing else, this
leads to put_cred(already_freed_cred).

change copy_creds() to clear this member. If copy_process() fails
before this point the wrong ->replacement_session_keyring doesn't
matter, exit_creds() won't be called.

5b7526e3a6 irq/irq_domain: Quit ignoring error returns from irq_alloc_desc_from().
In commit 4bbdd45a (irq_domain/powerpc: eliminate irq_map; use
irq_alloc_desc() instead) code was added that ignores error returns
from irq_alloc_desc_from() by (silently) casting the return value to
unsigned.  The negitive value error return now suddenly looks like a
valid irq number.

Commits cc79ca69 (irq_domain: Move irq_domain code from powerpc to
kernel/irq) and 1bc04f2c (irq_domain: Add support for base irq and
hwirq in legacy mappings) move this code to its current location in
irqdomain.c

The result of all of this is a null pointer dereference OOPS if one of
the error cases is hit.

The fix: Don't cast away the negativeness of the return value and then
check for errors.

fa4da365bc clockevents: tTack broadcast device mode change in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
In the commit 77b0d60c5a,
"clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not needed",
we were bailing out too quickly in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot(),
with out tracking the broadcast device mode change to 'TICKDEV_MODE_ONESHOT'.

This breaks the platforms which need broadcast device oneshot services during
deep idle states. tick_broadcast_oneshot_control() thinks that it is
in periodic mode and fails to take proper decisions based on the
CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_[ENTER, EXIT] notifications during deep
idle entry/exit.

Fix this by tracking the broadcast device mode as 'TICKDEV_MODE_ONESHOT',
before leaving the broadcast HW device in shutdown mode if there are no active
requests for the moment.

7a4e7408c5 userns: Add kuid_t and kgid_t and associated infrastructure in uidgid.h
Start distinguishing between internal kernel uids and gids and
values that userspace can use.  This is done by introducing two
new types: kuid_t and kgid_t.  These types and their associated
functions are infrastructure are declared in the new header
uidgid.h.

Ultimately there will be a different implementation of the mapping
functions for use with user namespaces.  But to keep it simple
we introduce the mapping functions first to separate the meat
from the mechanical code conversions.

Export overflowuid and overflowgid so we can use from_kuid_munged
and from_kgid_munged in modular code.

1a48e2ac03 userns: Replace the hard to write inode_userns with inode_capable.
This represents a change in strategy of how to handle user namespaces.
Instead of tagging everything explicitly with a user namespace and bulking
up all of the comparisons of uids and gids in the kernel,  all uids and gids
in use will have a mapping to a flat kuid and kgid spaces respectively.  This
allows much more of the existing logic to be preserved and in general
allows for faster code.

In this new and improved world we allow someone to utiliize capabilities
over an inode if the inodes owner mapps into the capabilities holders user
namespace and the user has capabilities in their user namespace.  Which
is simple and efficient.

Moving the fs uid comparisons to be comparisons in a flat kuid space
follows in later patches, something that is only significant if you
are using user namespaces.

6f103929f8 nohz: Fix stale jiffies update in tick_nohz_restart()
Fix tick_nohz_restart() to not use a stale ktime_t "now" value when
calling tick_do_update_jiffies64(now).

If we reach this point in the loop it means that we crossed a tick
boundary since we grabbed the "now" timestamp, so at this point "now"
refers to a time in the old jiffy, so using the old value for "now" is
incorrect, and is likely to give us a stale jiffies value.

In particular, the first time through the loop the
tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) call is always a no-op, since the
caller, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), will have already called
tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) with that "now" value.

Note that tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() already uses the correct
approach: when we notice we cross a jiffy boundary, grab a new
timestamp with ktime_get(), and *then* update jiffies.

234e340582 simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()
Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire

can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

620f6e8e85 sysctl: fix write access to dmesg_restrict/kptr_restrict
Commit bfdc0b4 adds code to restrict access to dmesg_restrict,
however, it incorrectly alters kptr_restrict rather than
dmesg_restrict.

The original patch from Richard Weinberger
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/14/362) alters dmesg_restrict as
expected, and so the patch seems to have been misapplied.

This adds the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check to both dmesg_restrict and
kptr_restrict, since both are sensitive.

Builds of the MIPS platform ip32_defconfig fails as of commit
0195c00244 ("Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h ...") because MIPS xchg()
macro uses BUILD_BUG_ON and it was moved in commit b81947c646
("Disintegrate asm/system.h for MIPS").

The root cause is that the system.h split wasn't tested on a baseline
with commit 6c03438ede ("kernel.h: doesn't explicitly use bug.h, so
don't include it.")

Since this file uses BUG code in several other places besides the xchg
call, simply make the inclusion explicit.

48ddbe1946 cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional
Currently, cgroup removal tries to drain all css references.  If there
are active css references, the removal logic waits and retries
->pre_detroy() until either all refs drop to zero or removal is
cancelled.

This semantics is unusual and adds non-trivial complexity to cgroup
core and IMHO is fundamentally misguided in that it couples internal
implementation details (references to internal data structure) with
externally visible operation (rmdir).  To userland, this is a behavior
peculiarity which is unnecessary and difficult to expect (css refs is
otherwise invisible from userland), and, to policy implementations,
this is an unnecessary restriction (e.g. blkcg wants to hold css refs
for caching purposes but can't as that becomes visible as rmdir hang).

Unfortunately, memcg currently depends on ->pre_destroy() retrials and
cgroup removal vetoing and can't be immmediately switched to the new
behavior.  This patch introduces the new behavior of not waiting for
css refs to drain and maintains the old behavior for subsystems which
have __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs set.

Once, memcg is updated, we can drop the code paths for the old
behavior as proposed in the following patch.  Note that the following
patch is incorrect in that dput work item is in cgroup and may lose
some of dputs when multiples css's are released back-to-back, and
__css_put() triggers check_for_release() when refcnt reaches 0 instead
of 1; however, it shows what part can be removed.

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/22559/focus=75251

Note that, in not-too-distant future, cgroup core will start emitting
warning messages for subsys which require the old behavior, so please
get moving.

28b4c27b8e cgroup: use negative bias on css->refcnt to block css_tryget()
When a cgroup is about to be removed, cgroup_clear_css_refs() is
called to check and ensure that there are no active css references.

This is currently achieved by dropping the refcnt to zero iff it has
only the base ref.  If all css refs could be dropped to zero, ref
clearing is successful and CSS_REMOVED is set on all css.  If not, the
base ref is restored.  While css ref is zero w/o CSS_REMOVED set, any
css_tryget() attempt on it busy loops so that they are atomic
w.r.t. the whole css ref clearing.

This does work but dropping and re-instating the base ref is somewhat
hairy and makes it difficult to add more logic to the put path as
there are two of them - the regular css_put() and the reversible base
ref clearing.

This patch updates css ref clearing such that blocking new
css_tryget() and putting the base ref are separate operations.
CSS_DEACT_BIAS, defined as INT_MIN, is added to css->refcnt and
css_tryget() busy loops while refcnt is negative.  After all css refs
are deactivated, if they were all one, ref clearing succeeded and
CSS_REMOVED is set and the base ref is put using the regular
css_put(); otherwise, CSS_DEACT_BIAS is subtracted from the refcnts
and the original postive values are restored.

css_refcnt() accessor which always returns the unbiased positive
reference counts is added and used to simplify refcnt usages.  While
at it, relocate and reformat comments in cgroup_has_css_refs().

This separates css->refcnt deactivation and putting the base ref,
which enables the next patch to make ref clearing optional.

05ef1d7c4a cgroup: introduce struct cfent
This patch adds cfent (cgroup file entry) which is the association
between a cgroup and a file.  This is in-cgroup representation of
files under a cgroup directory.  This simplifies walking walking
cgroup files and thus cgroup_clear_directory(), which is now
implemented in two parts - cgroup_rm_file() and a loop around it.

cgroup_rm_file() will be used to implement cftype removal and cfent is
scheduled to serve cgroup specific per-file data (e.g. for sysfs-like
"sever" semantics).

v2: - cfe was freed from cgroup_rm_file() which led to use-after-free
      if the file had openers at the time of removal.  Moved to
      cgroup_diput().

    - cgroup_clear_directory() triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() if d_subdirs
      wasn't empty after removing all files.  This triggered
      spuriously if some files were open during directory clearing.
      Removed.

v3: - In cgroup_diput(), WARN_ONCE(!list_empty(&cfe->node)) could be
      spuriously triggered for root cgroups because they don't go
      through cgroup_clear_directory() on unmount.  Don't trigger WARN
      for root cgroups.

8e3f6541d4 cgroup: implement cgroup_add_cftypes() and friends
Currently, cgroup directories are populated by subsys->populate()
callback explicitly creating files on each cgroup creation.  This
level of flexibility isn't needed or desirable.  It provides largely
unused flexibility which call for abuses while severely limiting what
the core layer can do through the lack of structure and conventions.

Per each cgroup file type, the only distinction that cgroup users is
making is whether a cgroup is root or not, which can easily be
expressed with flags.

This patch introduces cgroup_add_cftypes().  These deal with cftypes
instead of individual files - controllers indicate that certain types
of files exist for certain subsystem.  Newly added CFTYPE_*_ON_ROOT
flags indicate whether a cftype should be excluded or created only on
the root cgroup.

cgroup_add_cftypes() can be called any time whether the target
subsystem is currently attached or not.  cgroup core will create files
on the existing cgroups as necessary.

Also, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is added to ease registration of the
base files for the subsystem.  If non-NULL on subsys init, the cftypes
pointed to by ->base_cftypes are automatically registered on subsys
init / load.

Further patches will convert the existing users and remove the file
based interface.  Note that this interface allows dynamic addition of
files to an active controller.  This will be used for sub-controller
modularity and unified hierarchy in the longer term.

This patch implements the new mechanism but doesn't apply it to any
user.

v2: replaced DECLARE_CGROUP_CFTYPES[_COND]() with
    cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes, which works better for cgroup_subsys
    which is loaded as module.
