* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6:
Remove two unneeded exports and make two symbols static in fs/mpage.c
Cleanup after commit 585d3bc06f4ca57f975a5a1f698f65a45ea66225
Trim includes of fdtable.h
Don't crap into descriptor table in binfmt_som
Trim includes in binfmt_elf
Don't mess with descriptor table in load_elf_binary()
Get rid of indirect include of fs_struct.h
New helper - current_umask()
check_unsafe_exec() doesn't care about signal handlers sharing
New locking/refcounting for fs_struct
Take fs_struct handling to new file (fs/fs_struct.c)
Get rid of bumping fs_struct refcount in pivot_root(2)
Kill unsharing fs_struct in __set_personality()
|

We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement
task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr().
task_session_nr() has no callers since
2e2ba22ea4fd4bb85f0fa37c521066db6775cbef, we can remove it.
task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and
fs/coda.
This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills
__pgrp/__session and the related helpers.
The change in drivers/char/tty_io.c is cosmetic, but hopefully makes sense
anyway.

Inho, the safety rules for vnr/nr_ns helpers are horrible and buggy.
task_pid_nr_ns(task) needs rcu/tasklist depending on task == current.
As for "special" pids, vnr/nr_ns helpers always need rcu. However, if
task != current, they are unsafe even under rcu lock, we can't trust
task->group_leader without the special checks.
And almost every helper has a callsite which needs a fix.
Also, it is a bit annoying that the implementations of, say,
task_pgrp_vnr() and task_pgrp_nr_ns() are not "symmetrical".
This patch introduces the new helper, __task_pid_nr_ns(), which is always
safe to use, and turns all other helpers into the trivial wrappers.
After this I'll send another patch which converts task_tgid_xxx() as well,
they're are a bit special.

Even if task == current, it is not safe to dereference the result of
task_pgrp/task_session. We can race with another thread which changes the
special pid via setpgid/setsid.
Document this. The next 2 patches give an example of the unsafe usage, we
have more bad users.

- Move this code from exit.c to ptrace.c
- Update the comment in ptrace_detach() to explain the rechecking of

Impact: fix hung task with certain (non-default) rt-limit settings
Corey Hickey reported that on using setuid to change the uid of a
rt process, the process would be unkillable and not be running.
This is because there was no rt runtime for that user group. Add
in a check to see if a user can attach an rt task to its task group.
On failure, return EINVAL, which is also returned in
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED.

Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and
added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing
to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator
in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too).
Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer
to merge worthy ;)
--
After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS
allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to
try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.
I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to
actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark
it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common
(and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some
improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's
interrupt contexts).
I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and
even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly
code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes.
It *seems* to work. I did a quick test.

Change the process wide cpu timers/clocks so that we:
1) don't mess up the kernel with too many threads,
2) don't have a per-cpu allocation for each process,
3) have no impact when not used.
In order to accomplish this we're going to split it into two parts:
- clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
from user context -- ie. sys_clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID)
- timers; which need constant time sampling but since they're
explicity used, the user can pay the overhead.
The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, while the
timers will run of a global 'clock' that only runs when needed, so only
programs that make use of the facility pay the price.

We're going to split the process wide cpu accounting into two parts:
- clocks; which can take all the time they want since they run
from user context.
- timers; which need constant time tracing but can affort the overhead
because they're default off -- and rare.
The clock readout will go back to a full sum of the thread group, for this
we need to re-add the exit stats that were removed in the initial itimer
rework (f06febc9: timers: fix itimer/many thread hang).
Furthermore, since that full sum can be rather slow for large thread groups
and we have the complete dead task stats, revert the do_notify_parent time
computation.

Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches
already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances. That has the
advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous
default behavior.
Allowing top 4% of low memory (per user) to be allocated in epoll watches,
we have:
LOMEM MAX_WATCHES (per user)
512MB ~178000
1GB ~356000
2GB ~712000
A box with 512MB of lomem, will meet some challenge in hitting 180K
watches, socket buffers math teaches us. No more max_user_instances
limits then.

Change mutex contention behaviour such that it will sometimes busy wait on
acquisition - moving its behaviour closer to that of spinlocks.
This concept got ported to mainline from the -rt tree, where it was originally
implemented for rtmutexes by Steven Rostedt, based on work by Gregory Haskins.
Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50)
gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox:
# ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops"
avg ops/sec: 296604
# ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops"
avg ops/sec: 85870
The key criteria for the busy wait is that the lock owner has to be running on
a (different) cpu. The idea is that as long as the owner is running, there is a
fair chance it'll release the lock soon, and thus we'll be better off spinning
instead of blocking/scheduling.
Since regular mutexes (as opposed to rtmutexes) do not atomically track the
owner, we add the owner in a non-atomic fashion and deal with the races in
the slowpath.
Furthermore, to ease the testing of the performance impact of this new code,
there is means to disable this behaviour runtime (without having to reboot
the system), when scheduler debugging is enabled (CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y),
by issuing the following command:
# echo NO_OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features
This command re-enables spinning again (this is also the default):
# echo OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features

The problem is that dropping the spinlock right before schedule is a voluntary
preemption point and can cause a schedule, right after which we schedule again.
Fix this inefficiency by keeping preemption disabled until we schedule, do this
by explicity disabling preemption and providing a schedule() variant that
assumes preemption is already disabled.

At run-time, if softlockup_thresh is changed to a much lower value,
touch_timestamp is likely to be much older than the new softlock_thresh.
This will cause a false softlockup to be detected. If softlockup_panic
is enabled, the system will panic.
The fix is to touch all watchdogs before changing softlockup_thresh.

Either we bounce once cacheline per cpu per tick, yielding n^2 bounces
or we just bounce a single..
Also, using per-cpu allocations for the thread-groups complicates the
per-cpu allocator in that its currently aimed to be a fixed sized
allocator and the only possible extention to that would be vmap based,
which is seriously constrained on 32 bit archs.
So making the per-cpu memory requirement depend on the number of
processes is an issue.
Lastly, it didn't deal with cpu-hotplug, although admittedly that might
be fixable.

xacct_add_tsk() relies on do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() and uses
mm->hiwater_xxx directly, this leads to 2 problems:
- taskstats_user_cmd() can call fill_pid()->xacct_add_tsk() at any
moment before the task exits, so we should check the current values of
rss/vm anyway.
- do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls are racy. An exiting thread can
be preempted right before mm->hiwater_xxx = new_val, and another thread
can use A_LOT of memory and exit in between. When the first thread
resumes it can be the last thread in the thread group, in that case we
report the wrong hiwater_xxx values which do not take A_LOT into
account.
Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() helpers and change
xacct_add_tsk() to use them. The first helper will also be used by
rusage->ru_maxrss accounting.
Kill do_exit()->update_hiwater_xxx() calls. Unless we are going to
decrease rss/vm there is no point to update mm->hiwater_xxx, and nobody
can look at this mm_struct when exit_mmap() actually unmaps the memory.

- Make arch_reinit_sched_domains() static. It was exported to be used in
s390, but now rebuild_sched_domains() is used instead.
- Make it return void.

The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is
currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures
that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the
time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first
is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time.
The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not
the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle
process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true
idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time
instead of just testing for the idle process.
To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture
primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context
points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu.
In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process.
This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should
be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as
every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle
time.
This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to
distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with
support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this.

Impact: cleanup, avoid sparse warnings
In linux/sched.h moved out sysctl_sched_latency, sysctl_sched_min_granularity,
sysctl_sched_wakeup_granularity, sysctl_sched_shares_ratelimit and
sysctl_sched_shares_thresh from #ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG as these variables
are common for both.
Fixes these sparse warnings:
kernel/sched.c:825:14: warning: symbol 'sysctl_sched_shares_ratelimit' was not declared. Should it be static?
kernel/sched.c:832:14: warning: symbol 'sysctl_sched_shares_thresh' was not declared. Should it be static?
kernel/sched_fair.c:37:14: warning: symbol 'sysctl_sched_latency' was not declared. Should it be static?
kernel/sched_fair.c:43:14: warning: symbol 'sysctl_sched_min_granularity' was not declared. Should it be static?
kernel/sched_fair.c:72:14: warning: symbol 'sysctl_sched_wakeup_granularity' was not declared. Should it be static?
