b58cc46c5f rcu: Don't offload callbacks unless specifically requested
Enabling NO_HZ_FULL currently has the side effect of enabling callback
offloading on all CPUs.  This results in lots of additional rcuo kthreads,
and can also increase context switching and wakeups, even in cases where
callback offloading is neither needed nor particularly desirable.  This
commit therefore enables callback offloading on a given CPU only if
specifically requested at build time or boot time, or if that CPU has
been specifically designated (again, either at build time or boot time)
as a nohz_full CPU.

4251c2a670 Most of this is cleaning up various driver sysfs permissions so we can
re-add the perm check (we unified the module param and sysfs checks, but
 the module ones were stronger so we weakened them temporarily).
 
 Param parsing gets documented, and also "--" now forces args to be
 handed to init (and ignored by the kernel).
 
 Module NX/RO protections get tightened: we now set them before calling
 parse_args().

34a1b7236a kthreads: kill CLONE_KERNEL, change kernel_thread(kernel_init) to avoid CLONE_SIGHAND
1. Remove CLONE_KERNEL, it has no users and it is dangerous.

   The (old) comment says "List of flags we want to share for kernel
   threads" but this is not true, we do not want to share ->sighand by
   default. This flag can only be used if the caller is sure that both
   parent/child will never play with signals (say, allow_signal/etc).

2. Change rest_init() to clone kernel_init() without CLONE_SIGHAND.

   In this case CLONE_SIGHAND does not really hurt, and it looks like
   optimization because copy_sighand() can avoid kmem_cache_alloc().

   But in fact this only adds the minor pessimization. kernel_init()
   is going to exec the init process, and de_thread() will need to
   unshare ->sighand and do kmem_cache_alloc(sighand_cachep) anyway,
   but it needs to do more work and take tasklist_lock and siglock.

7b0b73d766 init/main.c: add initcall_blacklist kernel parameter
When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function
becomes an initcall.  Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can
help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by
changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an
effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem.

This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug.
There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the
console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate.
Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these
scenarios.

Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls>

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and
the log contains:

	blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
	...
	...
	initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter
and the log contains:

	blacklisting initcall foo_bar
	blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
	...
	...
	initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

d62cf81524 init/main.c: don't use pr_debug()
Pertially revert commit ea676e846a ("init/main.c: convert to
pr_foo()").

Unbeknownst to me, pr_debug() is different from the other pr_foo()
levels: pr_debug() is a no-op when DEBUG is not defined.

Happily, init/main.c does have a #define DEBUG so we didn't break
initcall_debug.  But the functioning of initcall_debug should not be
dependent upon the presence of that #define DEBUG.

... instead of naked numbers.

Stuff in sysrq.c used to set it to 8 which is supposed to mean above
default level so set it to DEBUG instead as we're terminating/killing all
tasks and we want to be verbose there.

Also, correct the check in x86_64_start_kernel which should be >= as
we're clearly issuing the string there for all debug levels, not only
the magical 10.

226b4ccdcb mm/process_vm_access: move config option into init/Kconfig
CONFIG_CROSS_MEMORY_ATTACH adds couple syscalls: process_vm_readv and
process_vm_writev, it's a kind of IPC for copying data between processes.
Currently this option is placed inside "Processor type and features".

This patch moves it into "General setup" (where all other arch-independed
syscalls and ipc features are placed) and changes prompt string to less
cryptic.

dc6f6c97f1 memcg: kill start_kernel()->mm_init_owner(&init_mm)
Remove start_kernel()->mm_init_owner(&init_mm, &init_task).

This doesn't really hurt but unnecessary and misleading.  init_task is the
"swapper" thread == current, its ->mm is always NULL.  And init_mm can
only be used as ->active_mm, not as ->mm.

mm_init_owner() has a single caller with this patch, perhaps it should
die.  mm_init() can initialize ->owner under #ifdef.

3891a04aaf x86-64, espfix: Don't leak bits 31:16 of %esp returning to 16-bit stack
The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only
restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer.  This
causes some 16-bit software to break, but it also leaks kernel state
to user space.  We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for
the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which
is not available in 64-bit mode.

In checkin:

    b3b42ac2cb x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels

we "solved" this by forbidding 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels, with
the logic that 16-bit support is crippled on 64-bit kernels anyway (no
V86 support), but it turns out that people are doing stuff like
running old Win16 binaries under Wine and expect it to work.

This works around this by creating percpu "ministacks", each of which
is mapped 2^16 times 64K apart.  When we detect that the return SS is
on the LDT, we copy the IRET frame to the ministack and use the
relevant alias to return to userspace.  The ministacks are mapped
readonly, so if IRET faults we promote #GP to #DF which is an IST
vector and thus has its own stack; we then do the fixup in the #DF
handler.

(Making #GP an IST exception would make the msr_safe functions unsafe
in NMI/MC context, and quite possibly have other effects.)

Special thanks to:

- Andy Lutomirski, for the suggestion of using very small stack slots
  and copy (as opposed to map) the IRET frame there, and for the
  suggestion to mark them readonly and let the fault promote to #DF.
- Konrad Wilk for paravirt fixup and testing.
- Borislav Petkov for testing help and useful comments.

51e158c12a param: hand arguments after -- straight to init
The kernel passes any args it doesn't need through to init, except it
assumes anything containing '.' belongs to the kernel (for a module).
This change means all users can clearly distinguish which arguments
are for init.

For example, the kernel uses debug ("dee-bug") to mean log everything to
the console, where systemd uses the debug from the Scandinavian "day-boog"
meaning "fail to boot".  If a future versions uses argv[] instead of
reading /proc/cmdline, this confusion will be avoided.

eg: test 'FOO="this is --foo"' -- 'systemd.debug="true true true"'

Gives:
argv[0] = '/debug-init'
argv[1] = 'test'
argv[2] = 'systemd.debug=true true true'
envp[0] = 'HOME=/'
envp[1] = 'TERM=linux'
envp[2] = 'FOO=this is --foo'

functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.

However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT.  For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.

To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols.  Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT).  allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot updates for cgroup:

   - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs.  cgroup took
     after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
     made it even more convoluted over time.  cgroup's internal objects
     were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
     object lifetime rules.  Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
     don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
     dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
     number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
     actually necessary, needed to be employed.

     After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
     rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
     of several nasty hacks and overall simplification.  This will also
     allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
     which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
     i_mutexes.

   - Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
     easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
     handling and task_cg_lists optimization.

   - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
     a patchset away from being actually operational.  The dummy
     hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
     Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
     associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
     anyway.

   - Various fixes from Li and others.  This pull request includes some
     patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems.  This was
     triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h.  cgroup.h
     indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
     which brought in slab.h.

  There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
  necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
  driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

c4e1acbb35 ACPI / init: Invoke early ACPI initialization later
Commit 73f7d1ca32 (ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before
timekeeping_init()) optimistically moved the early ACPI initialization
before timekeeping_init(), but that didn't work, because it broke fast
TSC calibration for Julian Wollrath on Thinkpad x121e (and most likely
for others too).  The reason is that acpi_early_init() enables the SCI
and that interferes with the fast TSC calibration mechanism.

Thus follow the original idea to execute acpi_early_init() before
efi_enter_virtual_mode() to help the EFI people for now and we can
revisit the other problem that commit 73f7d1ca32 attempted to
address in the future (if really necessary).

2bd59d48eb cgroup: convert to kernfs
cgroup filesystem code was derived from the original sysfs
implementation which was heavily intertwined with vfs objects and
locking with the goal of re-using the existing vfs infrastructure.
That experiment turned out rather disastrous and sysfs switched, a
long time ago, to distributed filesystem model where a separate
representation is maintained which is queried by vfs.  Unfortunately,
cgroup stuck with the failed experiment all these years and
accumulated even more problems over time.

Locking and object lifetime management being entangled with vfs is
probably the most egregious.  vfs is never designed to be misused like
this and cgroup ends up jumping through various convoluted dancing to
make things work.  Even then, operations across multiple cgroups can't
be done safely as it'll deadlock with rename locking.

Recently, kernfs is separated out from sysfs so that it can be used by
users other than sysfs.  This patch converts cgroup to use kernfs,
which will bring the following benefits.

* Separation from vfs internals.  Locking and object lifetime
  management is contained in cgroup proper making things a lot
  simpler.  This removes significant amount of locking convolutions,
  hairy object lifetime rules and the restriction on multi-cgroup
  operations.

* Can drop a lot of code to implement filesystem interface as most are
  provided by kernfs.

* Proper "severing" semantics, which allows controllers to not worry
  about lingering file accesses after offline.

While the preceding patches did as much as possible to make the
transition less painful, large part of the conversion has to be one
discrete step making this patch rather large.  The rest of the commit
message lists notable changes in different areas.

Overall
-------

* vfs constructs replaced with kernfs ones.  cgroup->dentry w/ ->kn,
  cgroupfs_root->sb w/ ->kf_root.

* All dentry accessors are removed.  Helpers to map from kernfs
  constructs are added.

* All vfs plumbing around dentry, inode and bdi removed.

* cgroup_mount() now directly looks for matching root and then
  proceeds to create a new one if not found.

Synchronization and object lifetime
-----------------------------------

* vfs inode locking removed.  Among other things, this removes the
  need for the convolution in cgroup_cfts_commit().  Future patches
  will further simplify it.

* vfs refcnting replaced with cgroup internal ones.  cgroup->refcnt,
  cgroupfs_root->refcnt added.  cgroup_put_root() now directly puts
  root->refcnt and when it reaches zero proceeds to destroy it thus
  merging cgroup_put_root() and the former cgroup_kill_sb().
  Simliarly, cgroup_put() now directly schedules cgroup_free_rcu()
  when refcnt reaches zero.

* Unlike before, kernfs objects don't hold onto cgroup objects.  When
  cgroup destroys a kernfs node, all existing operations are drained
  and the association is broken immediately.  The same for
  cgroupfs_roots and mounts.

* All operations which come through kernfs guarantee that the
  associated cgroup is and stays valid for the duration of operation;
  however, there are two paths which need to find out the associated
  cgroup from dentry without going through kernfs -
  css_tryget_from_dir() and cgroupstats_build().  For these two,
  kernfs_node->priv is RCU managed so that they can dereference it
  under RCU read lock.

File and directory handling
---------------------------

* File and directory operations converted to kernfs_ops and
  kernfs_syscall_ops.

* xattrs is implicitly supported by kernfs.  No need to worry about it
  from cgroup.  This means that "xattr" mount option is no longer
  necessary.  A future patch will add a deprecated warning message
  when sane_behavior.

* When cftype->max_write_len > PAGE_SIZE, it's necessary to make a
  private copy of one of the kernfs_ops to set its atomic_write_len.
  cftype->kf_ops is added and cgroup_init/exit_cftypes() are updated
  to handle it.

* cftype->lockdep_key added so that kernfs lockdep annotation can be
  per cftype.

* Inidividual file entries and open states are now managed by kernfs.
  No need to worry about them from cgroup.  cfent, cgroup_open_file
  and their friends are removed.

* kernfs_nodes are created deactivated and kernfs_activate()
  invocations added to places where creation of new nodes are
  committed.

* cgroup_rmdir() uses kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() for
  self-removal.

v2: - Li pointed out in an earlier patch that specifying "name="
      during mount without subsystem specification should succeed if
      there's an existing hierarchy with a matching name although it
      should fail with -EINVAL if a new hierarchy should be created.
      Prior to the conversion, this used by handled by deferring
      failure from NULL return from cgroup_root_from_opts(), which was
      necessary because root was being created before checking for
      existing ones.  Note that cgroup_root_from_opts() returned an
      ERR_PTR() value for error conditions which require immediate
      mount failure.

      As we now have separate search and creation steps, deferring
      failure from cgroup_root_from_opts() is no longer necessary.
      cgroup_root_from_opts() is updated to always return ERR_PTR()
      value on failure.

    - The logic to match existing roots is updated so that a mount
      attempt with a matching name but different subsys_mask are
      rejected.  This was handled by a separate matching loop under
      the comment "Check for name clashes with existing mounts" but
      got lost during conversion.  Merge the check into the main
      search loop.

    - Add __rcu __force casting in RCU_INIT_POINTER() in
      cgroup_destroy_locked() to avoid the sparse address space
      warning reported by kbuild test bot.  Maybe we want an explicit
      interface to use kn->priv as RCU protected pointer?

v3: Make CONFIG_CGROUPS select CONFIG_KERNFS.

v4: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8f8 ("cgroup: protect modifications to
    cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").

c4ad8f98be execve: use 'struct filename *' for executable name passing
This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct
filename', and to free it when it is done.  This is what the normal
users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling.

The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a
use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the
lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all
obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize
the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished,
which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after
mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory.

To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces
"getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname()
function, except with the source coming from kernel memory.

As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array
from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers
setup_new_exec().  That would be a separate cleanup.

    of the current status of that device.  In accordance with this, ACPI hotplug
    operations will not delete those objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables
    go away.
 
  - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects allowing
    user space to check device status by triggering the execution of _STA for
    its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.
 
  - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating the
    PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.
 
  - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the code
    "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.
 
  - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218.  This adds support for the

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
  this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
  core, PNP and cpuidle updates.  They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
  usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.

  The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
  acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
  the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
  sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
  status via _STA.

  Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
  delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
  namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare.  Also ACPI
  container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
  will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
  acpi-cpufreq driver.

  Specifics:

   - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
     every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
     scans regardless of the current status of that device.  In
     accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
     objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

   - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects
     allowing user space to check device status by triggering the
     execution of _STA for its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.

   - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating
     the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.

   - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the
     code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.

   - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218.  This adds support for
     the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves
     debug facilities.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.

   - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization
     earlier.  That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping
     initialization and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.
     From Chun-Yi Lee.

   - Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over
     from Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress).

   - New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in
     drivers that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper.  From
     Jiang Liu.

   - New Win8 OSI blacklist entries from Takashi Iwai.

   - pidlist handling is updated so that it can be served by seq_file.

     Also, the list is not sorted if sane_behavior.  cgroup
     documentation explicitly states that the file is not sorted but it
     has been for quite some time.

   - All cgroup file handling now happens on top of seq_file.  This is
     to prepare for kernfs conversion.  In addition, all operations are
     restructured so that they map 1-1 to kernfs operations.

   - Other cleanups and low-pri fixes"

098b081b50 init/main.c: use memblock apis for early memory allocations
Switch to memblock interfaces for early memory allocator instead of
bootmem allocator.  No functional change in beahvior than what it is in
current code from bootmem users points of view.

Archs already converted to NO_BOOTMEM now directly use memblock
interfaces instead of bootmem wrappers build on top of memblock.  And
the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fall back to
exiting bootmem APIs.

b35f1819ac mm: create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation
If DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled spinlock_t on x86_64
is 72 bytes.  For page->ptl they will be allocated from kmalloc-96 slab,
so we loose 24 on each.  An average system can easily allocate few tens
thousands of page->ptl and overhead is significant.

Let's create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation to solve this.

To make sure that it really works this time, some numbers from my test
machine (just booted, no load):

Before:
  # grep '^\(kmalloc-96\|page->ptl\)' /proc/slabinfo
  kmalloc-96         31987  32190    128   30    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata   1073   1073     92
After:
  # grep '^\(kmalloc-96\|page->ptl\)' /proc/slabinfo
  page->ptl          27516  28143     72   53    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata    531    531      9
  kmalloc-96          3853   5280    128   30    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata    176    176      0

Note that the patch is useful not only for debug case, but also for
PREEMPT_RT, where spinlock_t is always bloated.

73f7d1ca32 ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before timekeeping_init()
This is a variant patch from Rafael J. Wysocki's
ACPI / init: Run acpi_early_init() before efi_enter_virtual_mode()

According to Matt Fleming, if acpi_early_init() was executed before
efi_enter_virtual_mode(), the EFI initialization could benefit from
it, so Rafael's patch makes that happen.

And, we want accessing ACPI TAD device to set system clock, so move
acpi_early_init() before timekeeping_init(). This final position is
also before efi_enter_virtual_mode().
