cgroup_iter_* do not need rcu_read_lock().
In cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists(), do_each_thread() and while_each_thread()
are protected by RCU, it's OK, for write_lock(&css_set_lock) implies
rcu_read_lock() in non-RT kernel.
If we need explicit rcu_read_lock(), we should add rcu_read_lock() in
cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists(), not cgroup_iter_*.

In cgroup_attach_task(), tsk maybe exit when we call find_css_set(). and
find_css_set() will access to invalid css_set.
This patch increases the count before get_css_set(), and decreases it
after find_css_set().
NOTE:
css_set's refcount is also taskcount, after this patch applied, taskcount
may be off-by-one WHEN cgroup_lock() is not held. but I reviewed other
code which use taskcount, they are still correct. No regression found by
reviewing and simply testing.
So I do not use two counters in css_set. (one counter for taskcount, the
other for refcount. like struct mm_struct) If this fix cause regression,
we will use two counters in css_set.

We don't access struct cgroupfs_root in fast path, so we should not put
struct cgroupfs_root protected by RCU
But the comment in struct cgroup_subsys.root confuse us.
struct cgroup_subsys.root is used in these places:
1 find_css_set(): if (ss->root->subsys_list.next == &ss->sibling)
2 rebind_subsystems(): if (ss->root != &rootnode)
rcu_assign_pointer(ss->root, root);
rcu_assign_pointer(subsys[i]->root, &rootnode);
3 cgroup_has_css_refs(): if (ss->root != cgrp->root)
4 cgroup_init_subsys(): ss->root = &rootnode;
5 proc_cgroupstats_show(): ss->name, ss->root->subsys_bits,
ss->root->number_of_cgroups, !ss->disabled);
6 cgroup_clone(): root = subsys->root;
if ((root != subsys->root) ||
All these place we have held cgroup_lock() or we don't dereference to
struct cgroupfs_root. It's means wo don't need RCU when use struct
cgroup_subsys.root, and we should not put struct cgroupfs_root protected
by RCU.

We access res->cgroups without the task_lock(), so res->cgroups may be
changed. it's unreliable, and "if (l == &res->cgroups->tasks)" may be
false forever.
We don't need add any lock for fixing this bug. we just access to struct
css_set by struct cg_cgroup_link, not by struct task_struct.
Since we hold css_set_lock, struct cg_cgroup_link is reliable.

When cgroup_post_fork() is called, child is seen by find_task_by_vpid(),
so child->cgroups maybe be changed, It'll incorrect.

disable_nonboot_cpus calls _cpu_down. But _cpu_down requires that the
caller already created the stop_machine workqueue (like cpu_down does).
Otherwise a call to stop_machine will lead to accesses to random memory
regions.
When introducing this new interface (9ea09af3bd3090e8349ca2899ca2011bd94cda85
"stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy") I missed the second
call site of _cpu_down.
So add the missing stop_machine_create/destroy calls to disable_nonboot_cpus
as well.
Fixes suspend-to-ram/disk and also this bug:

Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.
This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.
In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.

Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that
various hardware delays are done sequentially.
In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces
infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps
asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays
in practice.
In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this
patch does NOT do full parallel initialization.
Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may
be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects
(instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.

Prevent passing an order to bitmap_find_free_region() that is larger than
the actual bitmap can represent.
These requests can come from device drivers that have no idea how big the

for them.

If bitmap_find_free_region() fails and DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE is not set,
the function will fail to write anything to *ret and will return 1. This will cause dma_alloc_coherent() to return an uninitialised value,
crashing the kernel, perhaps via DMA to a random address.
Fix that by changing it to return zero in this case, so the caller will
proceed to allocate the memory from the generic memory allocator.

It is useful for users to change coredump_filter settings for the whole

coredump_filter settings for each /proc/<pid>/ in an initializing script.

POSIX requires the si_pid to be the process id of the sender, so ->si_pid
should really be set to 'tgid'. This change does have following changes
in behavior:
- When sending pdeath_signal on re-parent to a sub-thread, ->si_pid
cannot be used to identify the thread that did the re-parent since
it will now show the tgid instead of thread id.
- A multi-threaded application that expects to find the specific
thread that encountered a SIGPIPE using the ->si_pid will now
break.

Remove called_from argument from kprobes which had been used for
preventing self-refering of kernel module. However, since we don't keep
module's refcount after registering kprobe any more, there is no reason to
check that.
This patch also simplifies registering/unregistering functions because we
don't need to use __builtin_return_address(0) which was passed to
called_from.

Allows kprobes to probe __exit routine. This adds flags member to struct
kprobe. When module is freed(kprobes hooks module_notifier to get this
event), kprobes which probe the functions in that module are set to "Gone"
flag to the flags member. These "Gone" probes are never be enabled.
Users can check the GONE flag through debugfs.
This also removes mod_refcounted, because we couldn't free a module if
kprobe incremented the refcount of that module.

This series of patches allows kprobes to probe module's __init and __exit
functions. This means, you can probe driver initialization and
terminating.
Currently, kprobes can't probe __init function because these functions are
freed after module initialization. And it also can't probe module __exit
functions because kprobe increments reference count of target module and
user can't unload it. this means __exit functions never be called unless
removing probes from the module.
To solve both cases, this series of patches introduces GONE flag and sets
it when the target code is freed(for this purpose, kprobes hooks
MODULE_STATE_* events). This also removes refcount incrementing for
allowing user to unload target module. Users can check which probes are
GONE by debugfs interface. For taking timing of freeing module's .init
text, these also include a patch which adds module's notifier of
MODULE_STATE_LIVE event.
This patch:
Add within_module_core() and within_module_init() for checking whether an
address is in the module .init.text section or .text section, and replace
within() local inline functions in kernel/module.c with them.
kprobes uses these functions to check where the kprobe is inserted.

When someone called register_*probe() from kernel-core code(not from
module) and that probes a kernel module, users can remove the probed
module because kprobe doesn't increment reference counter of the module.
(on the other hand, if the kernel-module calls register_*probe, kprobe
increments refcount of the probed module.)
Currently, we have no register_*probe() calling from kernel-core(except
smoke-test, but the smoke-test doesn't probe module), so there is no real
bugs. But the logic is wrong(or not fair) and it can causes a problem
when someone might want to probe module from kernel.
After this patch is applied, even if someone put register_*probe() call in
the kernel-core code, it increments the reference counter of the probed
module, and it prevents user to remove the module until stopping probing
it.

At the moment, the times() system call will appear to fail for a period
shortly after boot, while the value it want to return is between -4095 and
-1. The same thing will also happen for the time() system call on 32-bit
platforms some time in 2106 or so.
On some platforms, such as x86, this is unavoidable because of the system
call ABI, but other platforms such as powerpc have a separate error
indication from the return value, so system calls can in fact return small
negative values without indicating an error. On those platforms,
force_successful_syscall_return() provides a way to indicate that the
system call return value should not be treated as an error even if it is
in the range which would normally be taken as a negative error number.
This adds a force_successful_syscall_return() call to the time() and
times() system calls plus their 32-bit compat versions, so that they don't
erroneously indicate an error on those platforms whose system call ABI has
a separate error indication. This will not affect anything on other
platforms.
Joakim Tjernlund added the fix for time() and the compat versions of
time() and times(), after I did the fix for times().

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.

This change introduces two new sysctls to /proc/sys/vm:
dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes.
dirty_background_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_background_ratio and
dirty_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_ratio.
With growing memory capacities of individual machines, it's no longer
sufficient to specify dirty thresholds as a percentage of the amount of
dirtyable memory over the entire system.
dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes specify quantities of memory, in
bytes, that represent the dirty limits for the entire system. If either
of these values is set, its value represents the amount of dirty memory
that is needed to commence either background or direct writeback.
When a `bytes' or `ratio' file is written, its counterpart becomes a
function of the written value. For example, if dirty_bytes is written to
be 8096, 8K of memory is required to commence direct writeback.
dirty_ratio is then functionally equivalent to 8K / the amount of
dirtyable memory:
dirtyable_memory = free pages + mapped pages + file cache
dirty_background_bytes = dirty_background_ratio * dirtyable_memory
-or-
dirty_background_ratio = dirty_background_bytes / dirtyable_memory
AND
dirty_bytes = dirty_ratio * dirtyable_memory
-or-
dirty_ratio = dirty_bytes / dirtyable_memory
Only one of dirty_background_bytes and dirty_background_ratio may be
specified at a time, and only one of dirty_bytes and dirty_ratio may be
specified. When one sysctl is written, the other appears as 0 when read.
The `bytes' files operate on a page size granularity since dirty limits
are compared with ZVC values, which are in page units.
Prior to this change, the minimum dirty_ratio was 5 as implemented by
get_dirty_limits() although /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio would show any user
written value between 0 and 100. This restriction is maintained, but
dirty_bytes has a lower limit of only one page.
Also prior to this change, the dirty_background_ratio could not equal or
exceed dirty_ratio. This restriction is maintained in addition to
restricting dirty_background_bytes. If either background threshold equals
or exceeds that of the dirty threshold, it is implicitly set to half the
dirty threshold.

cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks() was brought in to support the memrlimit
controller, but sneaked into mainline ahead of it. That controller has
now been shelved, and the mm_owner_changed() args were inadequate for it
anyway (they needed an mm pointer instead of a task pointer).
Remove the dead code, and restore mm_update_next_owner() locking to how it
was before: taking mmap_sem there does nothing for memcontrol.c, now the
only user of mm->owner.

Fix a regression in cap_capable() due to:
commit 3b11a1decef07c19443d24ae926982bc8ec9f4c0
Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Date: Fri Nov 14 10:39:26 2008 +1100
CRED: Differentiate objective and effective subjective credentials on a task
The problem is that the above patch allows a process to have two sets of
credentials, and for the most part uses the subjective credentials when
accessing current's creds.
There is, however, one exception: cap_capable(), and thus capable(), uses the
real/objective credentials of the target task, whether or not it is the current
task.
Ordinarily this doesn't matter, since usually the two cred pointers in current
point to the same set of creds. However, sys_faccessat() makes use of this
facility to override the credentials of the calling process to make its test,
without affecting the creds as seen from other processes.
One of the things sys_faccessat() does is to make an adjustment to the
effective capabilities mask, which cap_capable(), as it stands, then ignores.
The affected capability check is in generic_permission():
if (!(mask & MAY_EXEC) || execute_ok(inode))
if (capable(CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE))
return 0;
This change passes the set of credentials to be tested down into the commoncap
and SELinux code. The security functions called by capable() and
has_capability() select the appropriate set of credentials from the process
being checked.
This can be tested by compiling the following program from the XFS testsuite:
