Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but
currently only x86 and mips provide one. Add a generic compat_sys_ustat
and switch all architectures over to it. Instead of doing various
user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as
it's trivial. This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann.
Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes
stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of
data writen by the syscall.

IRQ injection status is either -1 (if there was no CPU found
that should except the interrupt because IRQ was masked or
ioapic was misconfigured or ...) or >= 0 in that case the
number indicates to how many CPUs interrupt was injected.
If the value is 0 it means that the interrupt was coalesced
and probably should be reinjected.

Currently KVM has a static routing from GSI numbers to interrupts (namely,
0-15 are mapped 1:1 to both PIC and IOAPIC, and 16:23 are mapped 1:1 to
the IOAPIC). This is insufficient for several reasons:
- HPET requires non 1:1 mapping for the timer interrupt
- MSIs need a new method to assign interrupt numbers and dispatch them
- ACPI APIC mode needs to be able to reassign the PCI LINK interrupts to the
ioapics
This patch implements an interrupt routing table (as a linked list, but this
can be easily changed) and a userspace interface to replace the table. The
routing table is initialized according to the current hardwired mapping.

This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.
To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.
The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.
Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

Impact: __per_cpu_load available on all SMP capable archs
Percpu now requires three symbols to be defined - __per_cpu_load,
__per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end. There were three archs which
didn't have it. Update them as follows.
* powerpc: can use generic PERCPU() macro. Compile tested for
powerpc32, compile/boot tested for powerpc64.
* ia64: can use generic PERCPU_VADDR() macro. __phys_per_cpu_start is
identical to __per_cpu_load. Compile tested and symbol table looks
identical after the change except for the additional __per_cpu_load.
* arm: added explicit __per_cpu_load definition. Currently uses
unified .init output section so can't use the generic macro. Dunno
whether the unified .init ouput section is required by arch
peculiarity so I left it alone. Please break it up and use PERCPU()
if possible.

This reverts commit e7b140365b86aaf94374214c6f4e6decbee2eb0a.
Commit e7b14036 removes the targetted disabled CPU from the
cpu_online_map after calls to migrate_platform_irqs and fixup_irqs.
Paul McKenney states that the reasoning behind the patch was to
prevent irq handlers from running on CPUs marked offline because:
RCU happily ignores CPUs that don't have their bits set in
cpu_online_map, so if there are RCU read-side critical sections
in the irq handlers being run, RCU will ignore them. If the
other CPUs were running, they might sequence through the RCU
state machine, which could result in data structures being
yanked out from under those irq handlers, which in turn could
result in oopses or worse.
Unfortunately, both ia64 functions above look at cpu_online_map to find
a new CPU to migrate interrupts onto. This means we can potentially
migrate an interrupt off ourself back to... ourself. Uh oh.
This causes an oops when we finally try to process pending interrupts on
the CPU we want to disable. The oops results from calling __do_IRQ with
a NULL pt_regs:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference (address 0000000000000040)

I don't like this revert because it is fragile. ia64 is getting lucky
because we seem to only ever process timer interrupts in this path, but
if we ever race with an IPI here, we definitely use RCU and have the
potential of hitting an oops that Paul describes above.
Patching ia64's timer_interrupt() to check for NULL pt_regs is
insufficient though, as we still hit the above oops.
As a short term solution, I do think that this revert is the right
answer. The revert hold up under repeated testing (24+ hour test runs)
with this setup:
- 8-way rx6600
- randomly toggling CPU online/offline state every 2 seconds
- running CPU exercisers, memory hog, disk exercisers, and
network stressors
- average system load around ~160
In the long term, we really need to figure out why we set pt_regs = NULL
in ia64_process_pending_intr(). If it turns out that it is unnecessary
to do so, then we could safely re-introduce e7b14036 (along with some
other logic to be smarter about migrating interrupts).
One final note: x86 also removes the disabled CPU from cpu_online_map
and then re-enables interrupts for 1ms, presumably to handle any pending
interrupts:
arch/x86/kernel/irq_32.c (and irq_64.c):
cpu_disable_common:
[remove cpu from cpu_online_map]
fixup_irqs():
for_each_irq:
[break CPU affinities]
local_irq_enable();
mdelay(1);
local_irq_disable();
So they are doing implicitly what ia64 is doing explicitly.
