+The type of **_id is int.

+To be consistent on all architectures, the 4 attributes should have

+default value.
+2) core_id: If cpu doesn't support multi-core, its core id is 0.
+3) thread_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
+HT/multi-thread.
+4) core_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
+multi-core and HT/Multi-thread.
+
+So be careful when declaring the 4 defines in include/asm-XXX/topology.h.
+
+If an attribute isn't defined on an architecture, it won't be exported.

+Traditional driver models implemented some sort of tree-like structure

-A common data structure can provide this linkage with little overhead: when a
-bus driver discovers a particular device, it can insert it into the global
-tree as well as its local tree. In fact, the local tree becomes just a subset
-of the global tree.
-
-Common data fields can also be moved out of the local bus models into the
-global model. Some of the manipulations of these fields can also be
-consolidated. Most likely, manipulation functions will become a set
-of helper functions, which the bus drivers wrap around to include any
-bus-specific items.

-The common device and bridge interface currently reflects the goals of the

-and hot plug. (The model dictated by Intel and Microsoft (read: ACPI) ensures
-us that any device in the system may fit any of these criteria.)

-In reality, not every bus will be able to support such operations. But, most

+The current driver model provides a comon, uniform data model for describing

+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The Fintek F71805F/FG Super I/O chip includes complete hardware monitoring
+capabilities. It can monitor up to 9 voltages (counting its own power
+source), 3 fans and 3 temperature sensors.
+
+This chip also has fan controlling features, using either DC or PWM, in
+three different modes (one manual, two automatic). The driver doesn't
+support these features yet.
+
+The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems
+reasonable.
+
+
+Voltage Monitoring
+------------------
+
+Voltages are sampled by an 8-bit ADC with a LSB of 8 mV. The supported
+range is thus from 0 to 2.040 V. Voltage values outside of this range
+need external resistors. An exception is in0, which is used to monitor
+the chip's own power source (+3.3V), and is divided internally by a
+factor 2.
+
+The two LSB of the voltage limit registers are not used (always 0), so
+you can only set the limits in steps of 32 mV (before scaling).
+
+The wirings and resistor values suggested by Fintek are as follow:
+
+        pin                                           expected

+
+(1) Depends on your hardware setup.
+(2) Obviously not correct, swapping R1 and R2 would make more sense.
+
+These values can be used as hints at best, as motherboard manufacturers
+are free to use a completely different setup. As a matter of fact, the
+Jetway K8M8MS uses a significantly different setup. You will have to
+find out documentation about your own motherboard, and edit sensors.conf
+accordingly.
+
+Each voltage measured has associated low and high limits, each of which
+triggers an alarm when crossed.
+
+
+Fan Monitoring
+--------------
+
+Fan rotation speeds are reported as 12-bit values from a gated clock
+signal. Speeds down to 366 RPM can be measured. There is no theoretical
+high limit, but values over 6000 RPM seem to cause problem. The effective
+resolution is much lower than you would expect, the step between different
+register values being 10 rather than 1.
+
+The chip assumes 2 pulse-per-revolution fans.
+
+An alarm is triggered if the rotation speed drops below a programmable
+limit or is too low to be measured.
+
+
+Temperature Monitoring
+----------------------
+
+Temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius. Each temperature measured
+has a high limit, those crossing triggers an alarm. There is an associated
+hysteresis value, below which the temperature has to drop before the
+alarm is cleared.
+
+All temperature channels are external, there is no embedded temperature
+sensor. Each channel can be used for connecting either a thermal diode
+or a thermistor. The driver reports the currently selected mode, but
+doesn't allow changing it. In theory, the BIOS should have configured
+everything properly.

+
+
+Many PCI bus controllers are able to detect a variety of hardware
+PCI errors on the bus, such as parity errors on the data and address
+busses, as well as SERR and PERR errors.  Some of the more advanced
+chipsets are able to deal with these errors; these include PCI-E chipsets,
+and the PCI-host bridges found on IBM Power4 and Power5-based pSeries
+boxes. A typical action taken is to disconnect the affected device,
+halting all I/O to it.  The goal of a disconnection is to avoid system
+corruption; for example, to halt system memory corruption due to DMA's
+to "wild" addresses. Typically, a reconnection mechanism is also
+offered, so that the affected PCI device(s) are reset and put back
+into working condition. The reset phase requires coordination
+between the affected device drivers and the PCI controller chip.
+This document describes a generic API for notifying device drivers
+of a bus disconnection, and then performing error recovery.
+This API is currently implemented in the 2.6.16 and later kernels.
+
+Reporting and recovery is performed in several steps. First, when
+a PCI hardware error has resulted in a bus disconnect, that event
+is reported as soon as possible to all affected device drivers,
+including multiple instances of a device driver on multi-function
+cards. This allows device drivers to avoid deadlocking in spinloops,
+waiting for some i/o-space register to change, when it never will.
+It also gives the drivers a chance to defer incoming I/O as
+needed.
+
+Next, recovery is performed in several stages. Most of the complexity
+is forced by the need to handle multi-function devices, that is,
+devices that have multiple device drivers associated with them.
+In the first stage, each driver is allowed to indicate what type
+of reset it desires, the choices being a simple re-enabling of I/O
+or requesting a hard reset (a full electrical #RST of the PCI card).
+If any driver requests a full reset, that is what will be done.
+
+After a full reset and/or a re-enabling of I/O, all drivers are
+again notified, so that they may then perform any device setup/config
+that may be required.  After these have all completed, a final
+"resume normal operations" event is sent out.
+
+The biggest reason for choosing a kernel-based implementation rather
+than a user-space implementation was the need to deal with bus
+disconnects of PCI devices attached to storage media, and, in particular,
+disconnects from devices holding the root file system.  If the root
+file system is disconnected, a user-space mechanism would have to go
+through a large number of contortions to complete recovery. Almost all
+of the current Linux file systems are not tolerant of disconnection
+from/reconnection to their underlying block device. By contrast,
+bus errors are easy to manage in the device driver. Indeed, most
+device drivers already handle very similar recovery procedures;
+for example, the SCSI-generic layer already provides significant
+mechanisms for dealing with SCSI bus errors and SCSI bus resets.
+
+
+Detailed Design
+---------------
+Design and implementation details below, based on a chain of
+public email discussions with Ben Herrenschmidt, circa 5 April 2005.
 
 The error recovery API support is exposed to the driver in the form of
 a structure of function pointers pointed to by a new field in struct
-pci_driver. The absence of this pointer in pci_driver denotes an
-"non-aware" driver, behaviour on these is platform dependant.
-Platforms like ppc64 can try to simulate pci hotplug remove/add.
-
-The definition of "pci_error_token" is not covered here. It is based on
-Seto's work on the synchronous error detection. We still need to define
-functions for extracting infos out of an opaque error token. This is
-separate from this API.
+pci_driver. A driver that fails to provide the structure is "non-aware",
+and the actual recovery steps taken are platform dependent.  The
+arch/powerpc implementation will simulate a PCI hotplug remove/add.
 
 This structure has the form:
-
 struct pci_error_handlers
 {
-	int (*error_detected)(struct pci_dev *dev, pci_error_token error);
+	int (*error_detected)(struct pci_dev *dev, enum pci_channel_state);
 	int (*mmio_enabled)(struct pci_dev *dev);

+	PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED,   /* Device driver is fully recovered and operational */
+};
+
+A driver does not have to implement all of these callbacks; however,
+if it implements any, it must implement error_detected(). If a callback
+is not implemented, the corresponding feature is considered unsupported.
+For example, if mmio_enabled() and resume() aren't there, then it
+is assumed that the driver is not doing any direct recovery and requires
 a reset. If link_reset() is not implemented, the card is assumed as
-not caring about link resets, in which case, if recover is supported,
-the core can try recover (but not slot_reset() unless it really did
-reset the slot). If slot_reset() is not supported, link_reset() can
-be called instead on a slot reset.
-
-At first, the call will always be :
-
-	1) error_detected()
-
-	Error detected. This is sent once after an error has been detected. At
-this point, the device might not be accessible anymore depending on the
-platform (the slot will be isolated on ppc64). The driver may already
-have "noticed" the error because of a failing IO, but this is the proper
-"synchronisation point", that is, it gives a chance to the driver to
-cleanup, waiting for pending stuff (timers, whatever, etc...) to
-complete; it can take semaphores, schedule, etc... everything but touch
-the device. Within this function and after it returns, the driver
+not care about link resets. Typically a driver will want to know about
+a slot_reset().
+
+The actual steps taken by a platform to recover from a PCI error
+event will be platform-dependent, but will follow the general
+sequence described below.
+
+STEP 0: Error Event
+-------------------
+PCI bus error is detect by the PCI hardware.  On powerpc, the slot
+is isolated, in that all I/O is blocked: all reads return 0xffffffff,
+all writes are ignored.
+
+
+STEP 1: Notification
+--------------------
+Platform calls the error_detected() callback on every instance of
+every driver affected by the error.
+
+At this point, the device might not be accessible anymore, depending on
+the platform (the slot will be isolated on powerpc). The driver may
+already have "noticed" the error because of a failing I/O, but this
+is the proper "synchronization point", that is, it gives the driver
+a chance to cleanup, waiting for pending stuff (timers, whatever, etc...)
+to complete; it can take semaphores, schedule, etc... everything but
+touch the device. Within this function and after it returns, the driver
 shouldn't do any new IOs. Called in task context. This is sort of a
 "quiesce" point. See note about interrupts at the end of this doc.
 
-	Result codes:
-		- PCIERR_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER:
-		  Driever returns this if it thinks it might be able to recover
+All drivers participating in this system must implement this call.
+The driver must return one of the following result codes:
+		- PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER:
+		  Driver returns this if it thinks it might be able to recover
 		  the HW by just banging IOs or if it wants to be given
-		  a chance to extract some diagnostic informations (see
-		  below).
-		- PCIERR_RESULT_NEED_RESET:
-		  Driver returns this if it thinks it can't recover unless the
-		  slot is reset.
-		- PCIERR_RESULT_DISCONNECT:
-		  Return this if driver thinks it won't recover at all,
-		  (this will detach the driver ? or just leave it
-		  dangling ? to be decided)
-
-So at this point, we have called error_detected() for all drivers
-on the segment that had the error. On ppc64, the slot is isolated. What
-happens now typically depends on the result from the drivers. If all
-drivers on the segment/slot return PCIERR_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER, we would
-re-enable IOs on the slot (or do nothing special if the platform doesn't
-isolate slots) and call 2). If not and we can reset slots, we go to 4),
-if neither, we have a dead slot. If it's an hotplug slot, we might
-"simulate" reset by triggering HW unplug/replug though.

+
+The next step taken will depend on the result codes returned by the

+
+If all drivers on the segment/slot return PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER,
+then the platform should re-enable IOs on the slot (or do nothing in
+particular, if the platform doesn't isolate slots), and recovery
+proceeds to STEP 2 (MMIO Enable).
+
+If any driver requested a slot reset (by returning PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET),

 is NOT a callback for the driver to start operations again, only to

 eventually do things like trigger a device local reset or some such,

+>>> The current powerpc implementation does not implement this callback.
 
-	This is called after the link has been reset. This is typically
-a PCI Express specific state at this point and is done whenever a
-non-fatal error has been detected that can be "solved" by resetting
-the link. This call informs the driver of the reset and the driver
-should check if the device appears to be in working condition.
-This function acts a bit like 2) mmio_enabled(), in that the driver
-is not supposed to restart normal driver I/O operations right away.
-Instead, it should just "probe" the device to check it's recoverability
-status. If all is right, then the core will call resume() once all
-drivers have ack'd link_reset().
+
+STEP 3: Link Reset
+------------------
+The platform resets the link, and then calls the link_reset() callback
+on all affected device drivers.  This is a PCI-Express specific state
+and is done whenever a non-fatal error has been detected that can be

+
+The platform then proceeds to either STEP 4 (Slot Reset) or STEP 5
+(Resume Operations).
+
+>>> The current powerpc implementation does not implement this callback.
+
+
+STEP 4: Slot Reset
+------------------
+The platform performs a soft or hard reset of the device, and then
+calls the slot_reset() callback.
+
+A soft reset consists of asserting the adapter #RST line and then
+restoring the PCI BAR's and PCI configuration header to a state
+that is equivalent to what it would be after a fresh system
+power-on followed by power-on BIOS/system firmware initialization.
+If the platform supports PCI hotplug, then the reset might be
+performed by toggling the slot electrical power off/on.
 
->>> The current ppc64 implementation does not implement this callback.
+It is important for the platform to restore the PCI config space
+to the "fresh poweron" state, rather than the "last state". After
+a slot reset, the device driver will almost always use its standard
+device initialization routines, and an unusual config space setup
+may result in hung devices, kernel panics, or silent data corruption.
 
-	4) slot_reset()
+This call gives drivers the chance to re-initialize the hardware
+(re-download firmware, etc.).  At this point, the driver may assume
+that he card is in a fresh state and is fully functional. In
+particular, interrupt generation should work normally.
 
-	This is called after the slot has been soft or hard reset by the
-platform.  A soft reset consists of asserting the adapter #RST line
-and then restoring the PCI BARs and PCI configuration header. If the
-platform supports PCI hotplug, then it might instead perform a hard
-reset by toggling power on the slot off/on. This call gives drivers
-the chance to re-initialize the hardware (re-download firmware, etc.),
-but drivers shouldn't restart normal I/O processing operations at
-this point.  (See note about interrupts; interrupts aren't guaranteed
-to be delivered until the resume() callback has been called). If all
-device drivers report success on this callback, the patform will call
-resume() to complete the error handling and let the driver restart
-normal I/O processing.
+Drivers should not yet restart normal I/O processing operations
+at this point.  If all device drivers report success on this
+callback, the platform will call resume() to complete the sequence,
+and let the driver restart normal I/O processing.
 
 A driver can still return a critical failure for this function if
 it can't get the device operational after reset.  If the platform
-previously tried a soft reset, it migh now try a hard reset (power
+previously tried a soft reset, it might now try a hard reset (power
 cycle) and then call slot_reset() again.  It the device still can't
 be recovered, there is nothing more that can be done;  the platform
 will typically report a "permanent failure" in such a case.  The
 device will be considered "dead" in this case.
 
-	Result codes:
-		- PCIERR_RESULT_DISCONNECT
-		Same as above.
+Drivers for multi-function cards will need to coordinate among
+themselves as to which driver instance will perform any "one-shot"
+or global device initialization. For example, the Symbios sym53cxx2
+driver performs device init only from PCI function 0:
 
->>> The current ppc64 implementation does not try a power-cycle reset
->>> if the driver returned PCIERR_RESULT_DISCONNECT. However, it should.
++       if (PCI_FUNC(pdev->devfn) == 0)
++               sym_reset_scsi_bus(np, 0);
 
-	5) resume()
-
-	This is called if all drivers on the segment have returned
-PCIERR_RESULT_RECOVERED from one of the 3 prevous callbacks.
-That basically tells the driver to restart activity, tht everything
-is back and running. No result code is taken into account here. If
-a new error happens, it will restart a new error handling process.
+	Result codes:
+		- PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT
+		Same as above.
 
-That's it. I think this covers all the possibilities. The way those
-callbacks are called is platform policy. A platform with no slot reset

+Failure).
+
+>>> The current powerpc implementation does not currently try a
+>>> power-cycle reset if the driver returned PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT.
+>>> However, it probably should.
+
+
+STEP 5: Resume Operations
+-------------------------
+The platform will call the resume() callback on all affected device
+drivers if all drivers on the segment have returned
+PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED from one of the 3 previous callbacks.
+The goal of this callback is to tell the driver to restart activity,
+that everything is back and running. This callback does not return
+a result code.
+
+At this point, if a new error happens, the platform will restart
+a new error recovery sequence.
+
+STEP 6: Permanent Failure
+-------------------------
+A "permanent failure" has occurred, and the platform cannot recover
+the device.  The platform will call error_detected() with a
+pci_channel_state value of pci_channel_io_perm_failure.
+
+The device driver should, at this point, assume the worst. It should
+cancel all pending I/O, refuse all new I/O, returning -EIO to
+higher layers. The device driver should then clean up all of its
+memory and remove itself from kernel operations, much as it would
+during system shutdown.
+
+The platform will typically notify the system operator of the
+permanent failure in some way.  If the device is hotplug-capable,
+the operator will probably want to remove and replace the device.
+Note, however, not all failures are truly "permanent". Some are
+caused by over-heating, some by a poorly seated card. Many
+PCI error events are caused by software bugs, e.g. DMA's to
+wild addresses or bogus split transactions due to programming
+errors. See the discussion in powerpc/eeh-pci-error-recovery.txt
+for additional detail on real-life experience of the causes of
+software errors.
+
+
+Conclusion; General Remarks
+---------------------------
+The way those callbacks are called is platform policy. A platform with
+no slot reset capability may want to just "ignore" drivers that can't
 recover (disconnect them) and try to let other cards on the same segment
 recover. Keep in mind that in most real life cases, though, there will
 be only one driver per segment.

+
+1) Overview
+-----------
+Most legacy operating system kernels support an abstraction of threads
+as multiple execution contexts within a process. These kernels provide
+special resources and mechanisms to maintain these "threads". The Linux
+kernel, in a clever and simple manner, does not make distinction
+between processes and "threads". The kernel allows processes to share
+resources and thus they can achieve legacy "threads" behavior without
+requiring additional data structures and mechanisms in the kernel. The
+power of implementing threads in this manner comes not only from
+its simplicity but also from allowing application programmers to work
+outside the confinement of all-or-nothing shared resources of legacy
+threads. On Linux, at the time of thread creation using the clone system
+call, applications can selectively choose which resources to share
+between threads.
+
+unshare system call adds a primitive to the Linux thread model that
+allows threads to selectively 'unshare' any resources that were being
+shared at the time of their creation. unshare was conceptualized by
+Al Viro in the August of 2000, on the Linux-Kernel mailing list, as part
+of the discussion on POSIX threads on Linux.  unshare augments the
+usefulness of Linux threads for applications that would like to control
+shared resources without creating a new process. unshare is a natural
+addition to the set of available primitives on Linux that implement
+the concept of process/thread as a virtual machine.
+
+2) Benefits
+-----------
+unshare would be useful to large application frameworks such as PAM
+where creating a new process to control sharing/unsharing of process
+resources is not possible. Since namespaces are shared by default
+when creating a new process using fork or clone, unshare can benefit
+even non-threaded applications if they have a need to disassociate
+from default shared namespace. The following lists two use-cases
+where unshare can be used.
+
+2.1 Per-security context namespaces
+-----------------------------------
+unshare can be used to implement polyinstantiated directories using
+the kernel's per-process namespace mechanism. Polyinstantiated directories,
+such as per-user and/or per-security context instance of /tmp, /var/tmp or
+per-security context instance of a user's home directory, isolate user
+processes when working with these directories. Using unshare, a PAM
+module can easily setup a private namespace for a user at login.
+Polyinstantiated directories are required for Common Criteria certification
+with Labeled System Protection Profile, however, with the availability
+of shared-tree feature in the Linux kernel, even regular Linux systems
+can benefit from setting up private namespaces at login and
+polyinstantiating /tmp, /var/tmp and other directories deemed
+appropriate by system administrators.
+
+2.2 unsharing of virtual memory and/or open files
+-------------------------------------------------
+Consider a client/server application where the server is processing
+client requests by creating processes that share resources such as
+virtual memory and open files. Without unshare, the server has to
+decide what needs to be shared at the time of creating the process
+which services the request. unshare allows the server an ability to
+disassociate parts of the context during the servicing of the
+request. For large and complex middleware application frameworks, this
+ability to unshare after the process was created can be very
+useful.
+
+3) Cost
+-------
+In order to not duplicate code and to handle the fact that unshare
+works on an active task (as opposed to clone/fork working on a newly
+allocated inactive task) unshare had to make minor reorganizational
+changes to copy_* functions utilized by clone/fork system call.
+There is a cost associated with altering existing, well tested and
+stable code to implement a new feature that may not get exercised
+extensively in the beginning. However, with proper design and code
+review of the changes and creation of an unshare test for the LTP
+the benefits of this new feature can exceed its cost.
+
+4) Requirements
+---------------
+unshare reverses sharing that was done using clone(2) system call,
+so unshare should have a similar interface as clone(2). That is,
+since flags in clone(int flags, void *stack) specifies what should
+be shared, similar flags in unshare(int flags) should specify
+what should be unshared. Unfortunately, this may appear to invert
+the meaning of the flags from the way they are used in clone(2).
+However, there was no easy solution that was less confusing and that
+allowed incremental context unsharing in future without an ABI change.
+
+unshare interface should accommodate possible future addition of
+new context flags without requiring a rebuild of old applications.
+If and when new context flags are added, unshare design should allow
+incremental unsharing of those resources on an as needed basis.
+
+5) Functional Specification
+---------------------------
+NAME
+	unshare - disassociate parts of the process execution context
+
+SYNOPSIS
+	#include <sched.h>
+
+	int unshare(int flags);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+	unshare allows a process to disassociate parts of its execution
+	context that are currently being shared with other processes. Part
+	of execution context, such as the namespace, is shared by default
+	when a new process is created using fork(2), while other parts,
+	such as the virtual memory, open file descriptors, etc, may be
+	shared by explicit request to share them when creating a process
+	using clone(2).
+
+	The main use of unshare is to allow a process to control its
+	shared execution context without creating a new process.
+
+	The flags argument specifies one or bitwise-or'ed of several of
+	the following constants.
+
+	CLONE_FS
+		If CLONE_FS is set, file system information of the caller
+		is disassociated from the shared file system information.
+
+	CLONE_FILES
+		If CLONE_FILES is set, the file descriptor table of the
+		caller is disassociated from the shared file descriptor
+		table.
+
+	CLONE_NEWNS
+		If CLONE_NEWNS is set, the namespace of the caller is
+		disassociated from the shared namespace.
+
+	CLONE_VM
+		If CLONE_VM is set, the virtual memory of the caller is
+		disassociated from the shared virtual memory.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+	On success, zero returned. On failure, -1 is returned and errno is
+
+ERRORS
+	EPERM	CLONE_NEWNS was specified by a non-root process (process
+		without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
+
+	ENOMEM	Cannot allocate sufficient memory to copy parts of caller's
+		context that need to be unshared.
+
+	EINVAL	Invalid flag was specified as an argument.
+
+CONFORMING TO
+	The unshare() call is Linux-specific and  should  not be used
+	in programs intended to be portable.
+

+	clone(2), fork(2)
+
+6) High Level Design
+--------------------
+Depending on the flags argument, the unshare system call allocates
+appropriate process context structures, populates it with values from
+the current shared version, associates newly duplicated structures
+with the current task structure and releases corresponding shared
+versions. Helper functions of clone (copy_*) could not be used
+directly by unshare because of the following two reasons.
+  1) clone operates on a newly allocated not-yet-active task
+     structure, where as unshare operates on the current active
+     task. Therefore unshare has to take appropriate task_lock()
+     before associating newly duplicated context structures
+  2) unshare has to allocate and duplicate all context structures
+     that are being unshared, before associating them with the
+     current task and releasing older shared structures. Failure
+     do so will create race conditions and/or oops when trying
+     to backout due to an error. Consider the case of unsharing
+     both virtual memory and namespace. After successfully unsharing
+     vm, if the system call encounters an error while allocating
+     new namespace structure, the error return code will have to
+     reverse the unsharing of vm. As part of the reversal the
+     system call will have to go back to older, shared, vm
+     structure, which may not exist anymore.
+
+Therefore code from copy_* functions that allocated and duplicated
+current context structure was moved into new dup_* functions. Now,
+copy_* functions call dup_* functions to allocate and duplicate
+appropriate context structures and then associate them with the
+task structure that is being constructed. unshare system call on
+the other hand performs the following:
+  1) Check flags to force missing, but implied, flags
+  2) For each context structure, call the corresponding unshare
+     helper function to allocate and duplicate a new context
+     structure, if the appropriate bit is set in the flags argument.
+  3) If there is no error in allocation and duplication and there
+     are new context structures then lock the current task structure,
+     associate new context structures with the current task structure,
+     and release the lock on the current task structure.
+  4) Appropriately release older, shared, context structures.
+
+7) Low Level Design
+-------------------
+Implementation of unshare can be grouped in the following 4 different
+items:
+  a) Reorganization of existing copy_* functions
+  b) unshare system call service function
+  c) unshare helper functions for each different process context
+  d) Registration of system call number for different architectures
+
+  7.1) Reorganization of copy_* functions
+       Each copy function such as copy_mm, copy_namespace, copy_files,
+       etc, had roughly two components. The first component allocated
+       and duplicated the appropriate structure and the second component
+       linked it to the task structure passed in as an argument to the copy
+       function. The first component was split into its own function.
+       These dup_* functions allocated and duplicated the appropriate
+       context structure. The reorganized copy_* functions invoked
+       their corresponding dup_* functions and then linked the newly
+       duplicated structures to the task structure with which the
+       copy function was called.
+
+  7.2) unshare system call service function
+       * Check flags
+	 Force implied flags. If CLONE_THREAD is set force CLONE_VM.
+	 If CLONE_VM is set, force CLONE_SIGHAND. If CLONE_SIGHAND is
+	 set and signals are also being shared, force CLONE_THREAD. If
+	 CLONE_NEWNS is set, force CLONE_FS.
+       * For each context flag, invoke the corresponding unshare_*
+	 helper routine with flags passed into the system call and a
+	 reference to pointer pointing the new unshared structure
+       * If any new structures are created by unshare_* helper
+	 functions, take the task_lock() on the current task,
+	 modify appropriate context pointers, and release the
+         task lock.
+       * For all newly unshared structures, release the corresponding
+         older, shared, structures.
+
+  7.3) unshare_* helper functions
+       For unshare_* helpers corresponding to CLONE_SYSVSEM, CLONE_SIGHAND,
+       and CLONE_THREAD, return -EINVAL since they are not implemented yet.
+       For others, check the flag value to see if the unsharing is
+       required for that structure. If it is, invoke the corresponding
+       dup_* function to allocate and duplicate the structure and return
+       a pointer to it.
+
+  7.4) Appropriately modify architecture specific code to register the
+       the new system call.
+
+8) Test Specification
+---------------------
+The test for unshare should test the following:
+  1) Valid flags: Test to check that clone flags for signal and
+	signal handlers, for which unsharing is not implemented
+	yet, return -EINVAL.
+  2) Missing/implied flags: Test to make sure that if unsharing
+	namespace without specifying unsharing of filesystem, correctly
+	unshares both namespace and filesystem information.
+  3) For each of the four (namespace, filesystem, files and vm)
+	supported unsharing, verify that the system call correctly
+	unshares the appropriate structure. Verify that unsharing
+	them individually as well as in combination with each
+	other works as expected.
+  4) Concurrent execution: Use shared memory segments and futex on
+	an address in the shm segment to synchronize execution of
+	about 10 threads. Have a couple of threads execute execve,
+	a couple _exit and the rest unshare with different combination
+	of flags. Verify that unsharing is performed as expected and
+	that there are no oops or hangs.
+
+9) Future Work
+--------------
+The current implementation of unshare does not allow unsharing of
+signals and signal handlers. Signals are complex to begin with and
+to unshare signals and/or signal handlers of a currently running
+process is even more complex. If in the future there is a specific
+need to allow unsharing of signals and/or signal handlers, it can
+be incrementally added to unshare without affecting legacy
+applications using unshare.
