ad25ad979a ufs: make solaris fsck happy
Alex Viskovatoff let me know that after copying data to solaris's ufs from
linux, solaris's fsck sees some errors in cylinder summary information.
This is because of solaris expects find some data on another places, then
curernt implementation save it.  This patch fixes this issue.  It is
tested by me, and also Alex reported that it works for him.

b3a0fd4d87 fs/ufs: recognize Solaris-specific file system state
Recent releases of Solaris set the fs_clean state of an unmounted UFS file
system as FSLOG ("logging fs").  However, the Linux kernel currently does
not recognize the value which represents this state.  Thus, attempting to
mount such a file system rw produces the message

kernel: ufs_read_super: can't grok fs_clean 0xfffffffd

and the file system is mounted read-only.  This patch makes the kernel
recognize that value.

019b4d123a fs: buffer_head: remove kmem_cache constructor to reduce memory usage under slub
When using slub, having a kmem_cache constructor forces slub to add a free
pointer to the size of the cached object, which can have a significant
impact to the number of small objects that can fit into a slab.

As buffer_head is relatively small and we can have large numbers of them,
removing the constructor is a definite win.

On x86_64 removing the constructor gives me 39 objects/slab, 3 more than
without the patch.  And on x86_32 73 objects/slab, which is 9 more.

As alloc_buffer_head() already initializes each new object there is very
little difference in actual code run.

btrfs inialize rb trees in quite a number of places by settin rb_node =
NULL;  The problem with this is that 17d9ddc72f in the
linux-next tree adds a new field to that struct which needs to be NULL for
the new rbtree library code to work properly.  This patch uses RB_ROOT as
the intializer so all of the relevant fields will be NULL'd.  Without the

f8d4f618fe sysfs: Serialize updates to the vfs inode
The vfs depends upon filesystem methods to update the
vfs inode.   Sysfs adds to the normal number of places
where the vfs inode is updated by also updatng the
vfs inode in sysfs_refresh_inode.

Typically the inode mutex is used to serialize updates
to the vfs inode, but grabbing the inode mutex in
sysfs_permission and sysfs_getattr causes deadlocks,
because sometimes the vfs calls those operations with
the inode mutex held.  Therefore sysfs  can not use the
inode mutex to serial updates to the vfs inode.

The sysfs_mutex is acquired in all of the routines
where sysfs updates the vfs inode, and with a small
change we can consistently protext sysfs vfs inode
updates with the sysfs_mutex. To protect the sysfs
vfs inode updates with the sysfs_mutex simply requires
extending the scope of sysfs_mutex in sysfs_setattr
over inode_setattr, and over inode_change_ok (so we
have an unchanging inode when we perform the check).

6992f53349 sysfs: Use one lockdep class per sysfs attribute.
Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per
sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different
attributes.

There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the
addition or removal of other sysfs files.   Lumping all of the
sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to
generate lots of false positives.

This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes
need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init.
Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is
enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning
if this requirement is not met.

e72ceb8cca sysfs: Remove sysfs_get/put_active_two
It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is
pointless.  The purpose of the active references are to allows us to
block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't
remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom
methods from accessing data structures after the files have been
removed.  Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the
directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance
we will remove a directory with active children.

1e5289c97b sysfs: Cache the last sysfs_dirent to improve readdir scalability v2
When sysfs_readdir stops short we now cache the next
sysfs_dirent to return to user space in filp->private_data.
There is no impact on the rest of sysfs by doing this and
in the common case it allows us to pick up exactly where
we left off with no seeking.

Additionally I drop and regrab the sysfs_mutex around
filldir to avoid a page fault abritrarily increasing the
hold time on the sysfs_mutex.

v2: Returned to using INT_MAX as the EOF condition.
    seekdir is ambiguous unless all directory entries have
    a unique f_pos value.

b8fa05719b Revert "lib: build list_sort() only if needed"
This reverts commit a069c266ae.

It turns ou that not only was it missing a case (XFS) that needed it,
but perhaps more importantly, people sometimes want to enable new
modules that they hadn't had enabled before, and if such a module uses
list_sort(), it can't easily be inserted any more.

So rather than add a "select LIST_SORT" to the XFS case, just leave it
compiled in.  It's not all _that_ big, after all, and the inconvenience
isn't worth it.

76595f79d7 coredump: suppress uid comparison test if core output files are pipes
Modify uid check in do_coredump so as to not apply it in the case of
pipes.

This just got noticed in testing.  The end of do_coredump validates the
uid of the inode for the created file against the uid of the crashing
process to ensure that no one can pre-create a core file with different
ownership and grab the information contained in the core when they
shouldn' tbe able to.  This causes failures when using pipes for a core
dumps if the crashing process is not root, which is the uid of the pipe
when it is created.

The fix is simple.  Since the check for matching uid's isn't relevant for
pipes (a process can't create a pipe that the uermodehelper code will open
anyway), we can just just skip it in the event ispipe is non-zero

Reverts a pipe-affecting change which was accidentally made in

5c99cbf49a coredump: set ->group_exit_code for other CLONE_VM tasks too
User visible change.

do_coredump() kills all threads which share the same ->mm but only the
coredumping process gets the proper exit_code.  Other tasks which share
the same ->mm die "silently" and return status == 0 to parent.

This is historical behaviour, not actually a bug.  But I think Frank
Heckenbach rightly dislikes the current behaviour.  Simple test-case:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <signal.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		int stat;

		if (!fork()) {
			if (!vfork())
				kill(getpid(), SIGQUIT);
		}

		wait(&stat);
		printf("stat=%x\n", stat);
		return 0;
	}

Before this patch it prints "stat=0" despite the fact the child was killed
by SIGQUIT.  After this patch the output is "stat=3" which obviously makes
more sense.

Even with this patch, only the task which originates the coredumping gets
"|= 0x80" if the core was actually dumped, but at least the coredumping
signal is visible to do_wait/etc.

1801         }
 ---

Since dumpable bits are not protected by lock, there is a chance to change
these bits between (1) and (2).

To solve this issue, this patch copies mm->flags to
coredump_params.mm_flags at the beginning of do_coredump() and uses it
instead of get_dumpable() while dumping core.

This copy is also passed to binfmt->core_dump, since elf*_core_dump() uses
dump_filter bits in mm->flags.

8d9032bbe4 elf coredump: add extended numbering support
The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535.  This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have.  In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas.  (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.

This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.

This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

93eb211e6c elf coredump: make offset calculation process and writing process explicit
By the next patch, elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() will support
extended numbering and so will produce the corefiles with section header
table in a special case.

The problem is the process of writing a file header offset of the section
header table into e_shoff field of the ELF header.  ELF header is
positioned at the beginning of the corefile, while section header at the
end.  So, we need to take which of the following ways:

 1. Seek backward to retry writing operation for ELF header
    after writing process for a whole part

 2. Make offset calculation process and writing process
    totally sequential

The clause 1.  is not always possible: one cannot assume that file system
supports seek function.  Consider the no_llseek case.

Therefore, this patch adopts the clause 2.

elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions.  This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions.  For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.

This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is

05f47fda9f coredump: unify dump_seek() implementations for each binfmt_*.c
The current ELF dumper can produce broken corefiles if program headers
exceed 65535.  In particular, the program in 64-bit environment often
demands more than 65535 mmaps.  If you google max_map_count, then you can
find many users facing this problem.

Solaris has already dealt with this issue, and other OSes have also
adopted the same method as in Solaris.  Currently, Sun's document and AMD
64 ABI include the description for the extension, where they call the
extension Extended Numbering.  See Reference for further information.

I believe that linux kernel should adopt the same way as they did, so I've
written this patch.

I am also preparing for patches of GDB and binutils.

How to fix
==========

In new dumping process, there are two cases according to weather or
not the number of program headers is equal to or more than 65535.

 - if less than 65535, the produced corefile format is exactly the same
   as the ordinary one.

 - if equal to or more than 65535, then e_phnum field is set to newly
   introduced constant PN_XNUM(0xffff) and the actual number of program
   headers is set to sh_info field of the section header at index 0.

Compatibility Concern
=====================

 * As already mentioned in Summary, Sun and AMD64 has already adopted
   this.  See Reference.

 * There are four combinations according to whether kernel and userland
   tools are respectively modified or not.  The next table summarizes
   shortly for each combination.

                  ---------------------------------------------
                     Original Kernel    |   Modified Kernel
                  ---------------------------------------------
    	            < 65535  | >= 65535 | < 65535  | >= 65535
  -------------------------------------------------------------
   Original Tools |    OK    |  broken  |   OK     | broken (#)
  -------------------------------------------------------------
   Modified Tools |    OK    |  broken  |   OK     |    OK
  -------------------------------------------------------------

  Note that there is no case that `OK' changes to `broken'.

  (#) Although this case remains broken, O-M behaves better than
  O-O. That is, while in O-O case e_phnum field would be extremely
  small due to integer overflow, in O-M case it is guaranteed to be at
  least 65535 by being set to PN_XNUM(0xFFFF), much closer to the
  actual correct value than the O-O case.

Test Program
============

Here is a test program mkmmaps.c that is useful to produce the
corefile with many mmaps. To use this, please take the following
steps:

$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ sysctl vm.max_map_count=70000 # default 65530 is too small
$ sysctl fs.file-max=70000
$ mkmmaps 65535

Then, the program will abort and a corefile will be generated.

If failed, there are two cases according to the error message
displayed.

 * ``out of memory'' means vm.max_map_count is still smaller

 * ``too many open files'' means fs.file-max is still smaller

So, please change it to a larger value, and then retry it.

mkmmaps.c
==
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int maps_num;
	if (argc < 2) {
		fprintf(stderr, "mkmmaps [number of maps to be created]\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	if (sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &maps_num) == EOF) {
		perror("sscanf");
		exit(2);
	}
	if (maps_num < 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "%d is invalid\n", maps_num);
		exit(3);
	}
	for (; maps_num > 0; --maps_num) {
		if (MAP_FAILED == mmap((void *)NULL, (size_t) 1, PROT_READ,
					MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, (int) -1,
					(off_t) NULL)) {
			perror("mmap");
			exit(4);
		}
	}
	abort();
	{
		char buffer[128];
		sprintf(buffer, "wc -l /proc/%u/maps", getpid());
		system(buffer);
	}
	return 0;
}

Tested on i386, ia64 and um/sys-i386.
Built on sh4 (which covers fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c)

This patch:

There are three different definitions for dump_seek() functions in
binfmt_aout.c, binfmt_elf.c and binfmt_elf_fdpic.c, respectively.  The
only for binfmt_elf.c.

My next patch will move dump_seek() into a header file in order to share
the same implementations for dump_write() and dump_seek().  As the first
step, this patch unify these three definitions for dump_seek() by applying
the past commits that have been applied only for binfmt_elf.c.

Specifically, the modification made here is part of the following commits:

  * d025c9db7f
  * 7f14daa19e

This patch does not change a shape of corefiles.

5beb493052 mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue
The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking
workloads.  Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent
process and all its child processes.

In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous
pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million
anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one
of the 1000 processes.  However, the current rmap code needs to walk them
all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page.

This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of
1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on
the anon_vma lock.  This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark
like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of
thousands.  Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive
than AIM7, but they are catching up.

This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us
to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA.  At fork time, each child
process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be
instantiated.  The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because
non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children.

This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000
child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system.
 This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from
O(N) to 2.

The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a
VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations.  This means vma_adjust
can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures.  This in
turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions.

A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple
anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under
"the" anon_vma lock.  To prevent the rmap code from walking up an
incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag.  This bit
flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h
to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic
values for the same bitflag.

Some test results:

Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test
box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running
>99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the
pageout code.

With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users.
This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in
system time.  The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

b084d4353f mm: count swap usage
A frequent questions from users about memory management is what numbers of
swap ents are user for processes.  And this information will give some
hints to oom-killer.

Besides we can count the number of swapents per a process by scanning
/proc/<pid>/smaps, this is very slow and not good for usual process
information handler which works like 'ps' or 'top'.  (ps or top is now
enough slow..)

This patch adds a counter of swapents to mm_counter and update is at each

threads and can be a cache-miss point in the page fault path.

This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter.  RSS value will be
counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at
events.

Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault.
Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls.

 rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows
 [before]
     4.5 cache-miss/faults
 [after]
     4.0 cache-miss/faults
 Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.

d559db086f mm: clean up mm_counter
Presently, per-mm statistics counter is defined by macro in sched.h

This patch modifies it to
  - defined in mm.h as inlinf functions
  - use array instead of macro's name creation.

This patch is for reducing patch size in future patch to modify
implementation of per-mm counter.

984b3f5746 bitops: rename for_each_bit() to for_each_set_bit()
Rename for_each_bit to for_each_set_bit in the kernel source tree.  To
permit for_each_clear_bit(), should that ever be added.

The patch includes a macro to map the old for_each_bit() onto the new
for_each_set_bit().  This is a (very) temporary thing to ease the migration.

c2f843f03d [LogFS] Change magic number
Many changes were made during development that could result in old
versions of mklogfs and the kernel code being subtly incompatible.
Not being a friend of subtleties, I hereby change the magic number.
Any old version of mklogfs is now guaranteed to fail.
