cpuset_hotplug_workfn() has been invoking cpuset_propagate_hotplug()
directly to propagate hotplug updates to !root cpusets; however, this
has the following problems.
* cpuset locking is scheduled to be decoupled from cgroup_mutex,
cgroup_mutex will be unexported, and cgroup_attach_task() will do
cgroup locking internally, so propagation can't synchronously move
tasks to a parent cgroup while walking the hierarchy.
* We can't use cgroup generic tree iterator because propagation to
each cpuset may sleep. With propagation done asynchronously, we can
lose the rather ugly cpuset specific iteration.
Convert cpuset_propagate_hotplug() to
cpuset_propagate_hotplug_workfn() and execute it from newly added
cpuset->hotplug_work. The work items are run on an ordered workqueue,
so the propagation order is preserved. cpuset_hotplug_workfn()
schedules all propagations while holding cgroup_mutex and waits for
completion without cgroup_mutex. Each in-flight propagation holds a
reference to the cpuset->css.
This patch doesn't cause any functional difference.

In general, we want to make cgroup_mutex one of the outermost locks
and be able to use get_online_cpus() and friends from cgroup methods.
With cpuset hotplug made async, get_online_cpus() can now be nested
inside cgroup_mutex.
Currently, cpuset avoids nesting get_online_cpus() inside cgroup_mutex
by bouncing sched_domain rebuilding to a work item. As such nesting
is allowed now, remove the workqueue bouncing code and always rebuild
sched_domains synchronously. This also nests sched_domains_mutex
inside cgroup_mutex, which is intended and should be okay.

CPU / memory hotplug path currently grabs cgroup_mutex from hotplug
event notifications. We want to separate cpuset locking from cgroup
core and make cgroup_mutex outer to hotplug synchronization so that,
among other things, mechanisms which depend on get_online_cpus() can
be used from cgroup callbacks. In general, we want to keep
cgroup_mutex the outermost lock to minimize locking interactions among
different controllers.
Convert cpuset_handle_hotplug() to cpuset_hotplug_workfn() and
schedule it from the hotplug notifications. As the function can
already handle multiple mixed events without any input, converting it
to a work function is mostly trivial; however, one complication is
that cpuset_update_active_cpus() needs to update sched domains
synchronously to reflect an offlined cpu to avoid confusing the
scheduler. This is worked around by falling back to the the default
single sched domain synchronously before scheduling the actual hotplug
work. This makes sched domain rebuilt twice per CPU hotplug event but
the operation isn't that heavy and a lot of the second operation would
be noop for systems w/ single sched domain, which is the common case.
This decouples cpuset hotplug handling from the notification callbacks
and there can be an arbitrary delay between the actual event and
updates to cpusets. Scheduler and mm can handle it fine but moving
tasks out of an empty cpuset may race against writes to the cpuset
restoring execution resources which can lead to confusing behavior.
Flush hotplug work item from cpuset_write_resmask() to avoid such
confusions.
v2: Synchronous sched domain rebuilding using the fallback sched
domain added. This fixes various issues caused by confused
scheduler putting tasks on a dead CPU, including the one reported
by Li Zefan.

Reorganize hotplug path to prepare for async hotplug handling.
* Both CPU and memory hotplug handlings are collected into a single
function - cpuset_handle_hotplug(). It doesn't take any argument
but compares the current setttings of top_cpuset against what's
actually available to determine what happened. This function
directly updates top_cpuset. If there are CPUs or memory nodes
which are taken down, cpuset_propagate_hotplug() in invoked on all
!root cpusets.
* cpuset_propagate_hotplug() is responsible for updating the specified
cpuset so that it doesn't include any resource which isn't available
to top_cpuset. If no CPU or memory is left after update, all tasks
are moved to the nearest ancestor with both resources.
* update_tasks_cpumask() and update_tasks_nodemask() are now always
called after cpus or mems masks are updated even if the cpuset
doesn't have any task. This is for brevity and not expected to have
any measureable effect.
* cpu_active_mask and N_HIGH_MEMORY are read exactly once per
cpuset_handle_hotplug() invocation, all cpusets share the same view
of what resources are available, and cpuset_handle_hotplug() can
handle multiple resources going up and down. These properties will
allow async operation.
The reorganization, while drastic, is equivalent and shouldn't cause
any behavior difference. This will enable making hotplug handling
async and remove get_online_cpus() -> cgroup_mutex nesting.

cpuset_can_attach() prepare global variables cpus_attach and
cpuset_attach_nodemask_{to|from} which are used by cpuset_attach().
There is no reason to prepare in cpuset_can_attach(). The same
information can be accessed from cpuset_attach().
Move the prepartion logic from cpuset_can_attach() to cpuset_attach()
and make the global variables static ones inside cpuset_attach().
With this change, there's no reason to keep
cpuset_attach_nodemask_{from|to} global. Move them inside
cpuset_attach(). Unfortunately, we need to keep cpus_attach global as
it can't be allocated from cpuset_attach().
v2: cpus_attach not converted to cpumask_t as per Li Zefan and Rusty
Russell.

Instead of iterating cgroup->children directly, introduce and use
cpuset_for_each_child() which wraps cgroup_for_each_child() and
performs online check. As it uses the generic iterator, it requires
RCU read locking too.
As cpuset is currently protected by cgroup_mutex, non-online cpusets
aren't visible to all the iterations and this patch currently doesn't
make any functional difference. This will be used to de-couple cpuset
locking from cgroup core.

Cleanup. And I think we need more cleanups, in particular
__set_current_blocked() and sigprocmask() should die. Nobody should
ever block SIGKILL or SIGSTOP.
- Change set_current_blocked() to use __set_current_blocked()
- Change sys_sigprocmask() to use set_current_blocked(), this way it
should not worry about SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.

print_prefix() passes a NULL buf to print_time() to get the length of
the time prefix; when printk times are enabled, the current code just
returns the constant 15, which matches the format "[%5lu.%06lu] " used
to print the time value. However, this is obviously incorrect when the
whole seconds part of the time gets beyond 5 digits (100000 seconds is a
bit more than a day of uptime).
The simple fix is to use snprintf(NULL, 0, ...) to calculate the actual
length of the time prefix. This could be micro-optimized but it seems
better to have simpler, more readable code here.
The bug leads to the syslog system call miscomputing which messages fit
into the userspace buffer. If there are enough messages to fill
log_buf_len and some have a timestamp >= 100000, dmesg may fail with:
# dmesg
klogctl: Bad address
When this happens, strace shows that the failure is indeed EFAULT due to
the kernel mistakenly accessing past the end of dmesg's buffer, since
dmesg asks the kernel how big a buffer it needs, allocates a bit more,
and then gets an error when it asks the kernel to fill it:
syslog(0xa, 0, 0) = 1048576
mmap(NULL, 1052672, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fa4d25d2000
syslog(0x3, 0x7fa4d25d2010, 0x100008) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
As far as I can see, the bug has been there as long as print_time(),
which comes from commit 084681d14e42 ("printk: flush continuation lines
immediately to console") in 3.5-rc5.

Strictly speaking, ppc64 needs it for C ABI compliance. Realistically
I would be very surprised if e.g. passing 0xffffffff as 'options'
argument to waitid() from 32bit task would cause problems, but yes,
it puts us into undefined behaviour territory. ppc64 expects int
argument to be passed in 64bit register with bits 31..63 containing
the same value. SYSCALL_DEFINE on ppc provides a wrapper that normalizes
the value passed from userland; so does COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE. Plain
declaration of compat_sys_something() with an int argument obviously
doesn't. Again, for wait4 and waitid I would be extremely surprised
if gcc started to produce code depending on that value having been
properly sign-extended - the argument(s) in question end up passed
blindly to sys_wait4 and sys_waitid resp. and normalization for native
syscalls takes care of their use there. Still, better to use
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE here than worry about nasal daemons...

Oleg pointed out that in a pid namespace the sequence.
- pid 1 becomes a zombie
- setns(thepidns), fork,...
- reaping pid 1.
- The injected processes exiting.
Can lead to processes attempting access their child reaper and
instead following a stale pointer.
That waitpid for init can return before all of the processes in
the pid namespace have exited is also unfortunate.
Avoid these problems by disabling the allocation of new pids in a pid
namespace when init dies, instead of when the last process in a pid
namespace is reaped.

The sequence:
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)
clone(CLONE_THREAD|CLONE_SIGHAND|CLONE_VM)
Creates a new process in the new pid namespace without setting
pid_ns->child_reaper. After forking this results in a NULL
pointer dereference.
Avoid this and other nonsense scenarios that can show up after
creating a new pid namespace with unshare by adding a new
check in copy_prodcess.

Currently, whenever CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET is enabled, each
arch core provides a single implementation of arch_gettimeoffset(). In
many cases, different sub-architectures, different machines, or
different timer providers exist, and so the arch ends up implementing
arch_gettimeoffset() as a call-through-pointer anyway. Examples are
ARM, Cris, M68K, and it's arguable that the remaining architectures,
M32R and Blackfin, should be doing this anyway.
Modify arch_gettimeoffset so that it itself is a function pointer, which
the arch initializes. This will allow later changes to move the
initialization of this function into individual machine support or timer
drivers. This is particularly useful for code in drivers/clocksource
which should rely on an arch-independant mechanism to register their
implementation of arch_gettimeoffset().
This patch also converts the Cris architecture to set arch_gettimeoffset
directly to the final implementation in time_init(), because Cris already
had separate time_init() functions per sub-architecture. M68K and ARM
are converted to set arch_gettimeoffset to the final implementation in
later patches, because they already have function pointers in place for
this purpose.

Commit 8d4516904b39 ("watchdog: Fix CPU hotplug regression") causes an
oops or hard lockup when doing
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
and the kernel is booted with nmi_watchdog=1 (default)
Running laptop-mode-tools and disconnecting/connecting AC power will
cause this to trigger, making it a common failure scenario on laptops.
Instead of bailing out of watchdog_disable() when !watchdog_enabled we
can initialize the hrtimer regardless of watchdog_enabled status. This
makes it safe to call watchdog_disable() in the nmi_watchdog=0 case,
without the negative effect on the enabled => disabled => enabled case.
All these tests pass with this patch:
- nmi_watchdog=1
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
- nmi_watchdog=0
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

Merge patches from Andrew Morton:
"Most of the rest of MM, plus a few dribs and drabs.
I still have quite a few irritating patches left around: ones with
dubious testing results, lack of review, ones which should have gone
via maintainer trees but the maintainers are slack, etc.
I need to be more activist in getting these things wrapped up outside
the merge window, but they're such a PITA."

Because those architectures will draw their stacks directly from the page
allocator, rather than the slab cache, we can directly pass __GFP_KMEMCG
flag, and issue the corresponding free_pages.
This code path is taken when the architecture doesn't define
CONFIG_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR (only ia64 seems to), and has
THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE. Luckily, most - if not all - of the remaining
architectures fall in this category.
This will guarantee that every stack page is accounted to the memcg the
process currently lives on, and will have the allocations to fail if they
go over limit.
For the time being, I am defining a new variant of THREADINFO_GFP, not to
mess with the other path. Once the slab is also tracked by memcg, we can
get rid of that flag.

It is useful to know how many charges are still left after a call to
res_counter_uncharge. While it is possible to issue a res_counter_read
after uncharge, this can be racy.
If we need, for instance, to take some action when the counters drop down
to 0, only one of the callers should see it. This is the same semantics
as the atomic variables in the kernel.
Since the current return value is void, we don't need to worry about
anything breaking due to this change: nobody relied on that, and only
users appearing from now on will be checking this value.

Pull minor tracing updates and fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"It seems that one of my old pull requests have slipped through.
The changes are contained to just the files that I maintain, and are
changes from others that I told I would get into this merge window.
They have already been in linux-next for several weeks, and should be
well tested."

To avoid executing the same work item concurrenlty, workqueue hashes
currently busy workers according to their current work items and looks
up the the table when it wants to execute a new work item. If there
already is a worker which is executing the new work item, the new item
is queued to the found worker so that it gets executed only after the
current execution finishes.
Unfortunately, a work item may be freed while being executed and thus
recycled for different purposes. If it gets recycled for a different
work item and queued while the previous execution is still in
progress, workqueue may make the new work item wait for the old one
although the two aren't really related in any way.
In extreme cases, this false dependency may lead to deadlock although
it's extremely unlikely given that there aren't too many self-freeing
work item users and they usually don't wait for other work items.
To alleviate the problem, record the current work function in each
busy worker and match it together with the work item address in
find_worker_executing_work(). While this isn't complete, it ensures
that unrelated work items don't interact with each other and in the
very unlikely case where a twisted wq user triggers it, it's always
onto itself making the culprit easy to spot.

Switch workqueues to use the new hashtable implementation. This reduces the
amount of generic unrelated code in the workqueues.
This patch depends on d9b482c ("hashtable: introduce a small and naive
hashtable") which was merged in v3.6.

Ptrace jailers want to be sure that the tracee can never escape
from the control. However if the tracer dies unexpectedly the
tracee continues to run in potentially unsafe mode.
Add the new ptrace option PTRACE_O_EXITKILL. If the tracer exits
it sends SIGKILL to every tracee which has this bit set.
Note that the new option is not equal to the last-option << 1. Because
currently all options have an event, and the new one starts the eventless
group. It uses the random 20 bit, so we have the room for 12 more events,
but we can also add the new eventless options below this one.
