At present, if a user mode helper is running while
usermodehelper_pm_callback() is executed, the helper may be frozen and the
completion in call_usermodehelper_exec() won't be completed until user
space processes are thawed. As a result, the freezing of kernel threads
may fail, which is not desirable.
Prevent this from happening by introducing a counter of running user mode
helpers and allowing usermodehelper_pm_callback() to succeed for action =
PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE or action = PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE only if there are no
helpers running. [Namely, usermodehelper_pm_callback() waits for at most
RUNNING_HELPERS_TIMEOUT for the number of running helpers to become zero
and fails if that doesn't happen.]

Kernel threads should not have TIF_FREEZE set when user space processes are
being frozen, since otherwise some of them might be frozen prematurely.
To prevent this from happening we can (1) make exit_mm() unset TIF_FREEZE
unconditionally just after clearing tsk->mm and (2) make try_to_freeze_tasks()
check if p->mm is different from zero and PF_BORROWED_MM is unset in p->flags
when user space processes are to be frozen.
Namely, when user space processes are being frozen, we only should set
TIF_FREEZE for tasks that have p->mm different from NULL and don't have
PF_BORROWED_MM set in p->flags. For this reason task_lock() must be used to
prevent try_to_freeze_tasks() from racing with use_mm()/unuse_mm(), in which
p->mm and p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM are changed under task_lock(p). Also, we
need to prevent the following scenario from happening:
* daemonize() is called by a task spawned from a user space code path
* freezer checks if the task has p->mm set and the result is positive
* task enters exit_mm() and clears its TIF_FREEZE
* freezer sets TIF_FREEZE for the task
* task calls try_to_freeze() and goes to the refrigerator, which is wrong at
that point
This requires us to acquire task_lock(p) before p->flags.PF_BORROWED_MM and
p->mm are examined and release it after TIF_FREEZE is set for p (or it turns
out that TIF_FREEZE should not be set).

During hibernation we call hibernation_ops->prepare() before creating the image,
but then, before saving it, we cancel the power transition by calling
hibernation_ops->finish(). Thus prior to calling hibernation_ops->enter() we
should let the platform firmware know that we're going to enter the low power
state after all.

Change the code ordering so that hibernation_ops->prepare() is called after
device_suspend(). This is needed so that we don't violate the ACPI
specification, which states that the _PTS and _GTS system-control methods,
executed from acpi_sleep_prepare(), ought to be called after devices have been
put in low power states.
The "Finish" label in hibernation_restore() is moved, because device_suspend()
resumes devices if the suspending of them fails and the restore code ordering
should reflect the hibernation code ordering.

At least on some machines it is necessary to prepare the ACPI firmware for the
restoration of the system memory state from the hibernation image if the
"platform" mode of hibernation has been used. Namely, in that cases we need
to disable the GPEs before replacing the "boot" kernel with the "frozen"
kernel (cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7887). After the
restore they will be re-enabled by hibernation_ops->finish(), but if the
restore fails, they have to be re-enabled by the restore code explicitly.
For this purpose we can introduce two additional hibernation operations,
called pre_restore() and restore_cleanup() and call them from the restore code
path. Still, they should be called if the "platform" mode of hibernation has
been used, so we need to pass the information about the hibernation mode from
the "frozen" kernel to the "boot" kernel in the image header.
Apparently, we can't drop the disabling of GPEs before the restore because of
Bug #7887 . We also can't do it unconditionally, because the GPEs wouldn't
have been enabled after a successful restore if the suspend had been done in
the 'shutdown' or 'reboot' mode.
In principle we could (and probably should) unconditionally disable the GPEs
before each snapshot creation *and* before the restore, but then we'd have to
unconditionally enable them after the snapshot creation as well as after the
restore (or restore failure) Still, for this purpose we'd need to modify
acpi_enter_sleep_state_prep() and acpi_leave_sleep_state() and we'd have to
introduce some mechanism synchronizing the disablind/enabling of the GPEs with
the device drivers' .suspend()/.resume() routines and with
disable_/enable_nonboot_cpus(). However, this would have affected the
suspend (ie. s2ram) code as well as the hibernation, which I'd like to avoid
in this patch series.

Currently, much of the code in kernel/power/disk.c is duplicated in
kernel/power/user.c , mainly for historical reasons. By eliminating this code
duplication we can reduce the size of user.c quite substantially and remove
the maintenance difficulty resulting from it.

In the face of the recent change of suspend code ordering (cf.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=117938245931603&w=2) we should also modify
the code ordering in swsusp so that hibernation_ops->prepare() is executed
after device_suspend().
However, for this purpose it seems reasonable to eliminate the code
duplication between kernel/power/disk.c and kernel/power/user.c first. By
eliminating it we can reduce the size of user.c quite substantially and remove
the maintenance difficulty with making essentially the same changes in two
different places.
Moreover, we should also remove the calls to "platform" functions from the
restore code path, since it doesn't carry out any power transition of the
system, but we generally need to disable the GPEs before the restore if the
'platform' hibernation mode has been used. To do this, we can introduce two
new hibernation_ops to be used in the restore code.
This patch:
Make the code hibernation code in kernel/power/user.c be functionally
equivalent to the corresponding code in kernel/power/disk.c , as it should be.
The calls to the platform functions removed by this patch are incorrect. They
should be replaced with some other "platform" invocations that will be
introduced in one of the subsequent patches.

Various pieces of code around the kernel want to be able to trigger an
orderly poweroff. This pulls them together into a single
implementation.
By default the poweroff command is /sbin/poweroff, but it can be set
via sysctl: kernel/poweroff_cmd. This is split at whitespace, so it
can include command-line arguments.
This patch replaces four other instances of invoking either "poweroff"
or "shutdown -h now": two sbus drivers, and acpi thermal
management.
sparc64 has its own "powerd"; still need to determine whether it should
be replaced by orderly_poweroff().

Rather than having hundreds of variations of call_usermodehelper for
various pieces of usermode state which could be set up, split the
info allocation and initialization from the actual process execution.
This means the general pattern becomes:
info = call_usermodehelper_setup(path, argv, envp); /* basic state */
call_usermodehelper_<SET EXTRA STATE>(info, stuff...); /* extra state */
call_usermodehelper_exec(info, wait); /* run process and free info */
This patch introduces wrappers for all the existing calling styles for
call_usermodehelper_*, but folds their implementations into one.

Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>.
The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me.
cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until
->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get
CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority
cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work.
Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once.
We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes
all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should
stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro

* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
trailing '\0'. Fix it.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Huge pages are not movable so are not allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE. However,
as ZONE_MOVABLE will always have pages that can be migrated or reclaimed, it
can be used to satisfy hugepage allocations even when the system has been
running a long time. This allows an administrator to resize the hugepage pool
at runtime depending on the size of ZONE_MOVABLE.
This patch adds a new sysctl called hugepages_treat_as_movable. When a
non-zero value is written to it, future allocations for the huge page pool
will use ZONE_MOVABLE. Despite huge pages being non-movable, we do not
introduce additional external fragmentation of note as huge pages are always
the largest contiguous block we care about.

an "unsigned int" cpu argument, but hrtimer_cpu_notify()
passes in a pointer to a long.

kernel/printk.c: document possible deadlock against scheduler
The printk's comment states that it can be called from every context,
which might lead to false illusion that it could be called from everywhere
without any restrictions.
This is however not true - a call to printk() could deadlock if called from
scheduler code (namely from schedule(), wake_up(), etc) on runqueue lock
when it tries to wake up klogd. Document this.

Now we always use stop_machine for module insertion or deletion, we no
longer need the modlist_lock: merely disabling preemption is sufficient to
block against list manipulation. This avoids deadlock on OOPSen where we
can potentially grab the lock twice.

Change cancel_work_sync() and cancel_delayed_work_sync() to return a boolean
indicating whether the work was actually cancelled. A zero return value means
that the work was not pending/queued.
Without that kind of change it is not possible to avoid flush_workqueue()
sometimes, see the next patch as an example.
Also, this patch unifies both functions and kills the (unlikely) busy-wait
loop.

Imho, the current naming of cancel_xxx workqueue functions is very confusing.
cancel_delayed_work()
cancel_rearming_delayed_work()
cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue() // obsolete
cancel_work_sync()
This looks as if the first 2 functions differ in "type" of their argument
which is not true any longer, nowadays the difference is the behaviour.
The semantics of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(dwork) was changed
significantly, it doesn't require that dwork rearms itself, and cancels dwork
synchronously.
Rename it to cancel_delayed_work_sync(). This matches cancel_delayed_work()
and cancel_work_sync(). Re-create cancel_rearming_delayed_work() as a simple
inline obsolete wrapper, like cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue().

This follows a suggestion from Chuck Ebbert on how to make seccomp
absolutely zerocost in schedule too. The only remaining footprint of
seccomp is in terms of the bzImage size that becomes a few bytes (perhaps
even a few kbytes) larger, measure it if you care in the embedded.

This reduces the memory footprint and it enforces that only the current
task can enable seccomp on itself (this is a requirement for a

Improve performance of sys_time(). sys_time() returns time in seconds, but
it does so by calling do_gettimeofday() and then returning the tv_sec
portion of the GTOD time. But the data structure "xtime", which is updated
by every timer/scheduler tick, already offers HZ granularity time.
The patch improves the sysbench OLTP macrobenchmark significantly:
2.6.22-rc6:
#threads
1: transactions: 3733 (373.21 per sec.)
2: transactions: 6676 (667.46 per sec.)
3: transactions: 6957 (695.50 per sec.)
4: transactions: 7055 (705.48 per sec.)
5: transactions: 6596 (659.33 per sec.)
2.6.22-rc6 + sys_time.patch:
1: transactions: 4005 (400.47 per sec.)
2: transactions: 7379 (737.77 per sec.)
3: transactions: 7347 (734.49 per sec.)
4: transactions: 7468 (746.65 per sec.)
5: transactions: 7428 (742.47 per sec.)
Mixed API uses of gettimeofday() and time() are guaranteed to be coherent
via the use of a at-most-once-per-second slowpath that updates xtime.

While working on unshare support for the network namespace I noticed we
were putting clone flags in an int. Which is weird because the syscall
uses unsigned long and we at least need an unsigned to properly hold all of
the unshare flags.
So to make the code consistent, this patch updates the code to use
unsigned long instead of int for the clone flags in those places
where we get it wrong today.

OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools
working on 64bit architectures. In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function
was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be
32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right. Look at
if_dqblk structure:
struct if_dqblk {
__u64 dqb_bhardlimit;
__u64 dqb_bsoftlimit;
__u64 dqb_curspace;
__u64 dqb_ihardlimit;
__u64 dqb_isoftlimit;
__u64 dqb_curinodes;
__u64 dqb_btime;
__u64 dqb_itime;
__u32 dqb_valid;
};
For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44.
But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment!
Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function,
that handles this and related situations.

It should improve performance in some scenarii where a lot of
these nsproxy objects are created by unsharing namespaces. This is
a typical use of virtual servers that are being created or entered.
This is also a good tool to find leaks and gather statistics on

dup_mnt_ns() and clone_uts_ns() return NULL on failure. This is wrong,
create_new_namespaces() uses ERR_PTR() to catch an error. This means that the
subsequent create_new_namespaces() will hit BUG_ON() in copy_mnt_ns() or
copy_utsname().
Modify create_new_namespaces() to also use the errors returned by the
copy_*_ns routines and not to systematically return ENOMEM.

This patch enables the unshare of user namespaces.
It adds a new clone flag CLONE_NEWUSER and implements copy_user_ns() which
resets the current user_struct and adds a new root user (uid == 0)
For now, unsharing the user namespace allows a process to reset its
user_struct accounting and uid 0 in the new user namespace should be contained
using appropriate means, for instance selinux
The plan, when the full support is complete (all uid checks covered), is to
keep the original user's rights in the original namespace, and let a process
become uid 0 in the new namespace, with full capabilities to the new
namespace.
