c1095c6da5 signals: sys_ssetmask/sys_rt_sigsuspend should use set_current_blocked()
sys_ssetmask(), sys_rt_sigsuspend() and compat_sys_rt_sigsuspend()
change ->blocked directly.  This is not correct, see the changelog in
e6fa16ab "signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()"

Change them to use set_current_blocked().

Another change is that now we are doing ->saved_sigmask = ->blocked
lockless, it doesn't make any sense to do this under ->siglock.

4302fbc8ec panic: panic=-1 for immediate reboot
When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and
immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM
across reboot.

But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and
lose the info.

panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or
sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at
present we have to delay at least 1 second.

Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic
benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.."
message).

b34a6b1da3 ipc: introduce shm_rmid_forced sysctl
Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl.  If set to 1, all shared
memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to
use IPC_RMID.

The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and
call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus
consuming memory not counted via rlimits.

With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for
one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding
the shared memory.

It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would
stop working.  So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses
"orphaned" memory.  Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability
reasons.

The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

778d3b0ff0 cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()
[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f8 but later
  reverted (commit 35926ff5fb) because it itroduced arch specific
  __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
  archs.  This is a followup without any arch specific code.  Other than
  that there are no functional changes.]

Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems).  Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.

This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.

2efaca927f mm/futex: fix futex writes on archs with SW tracking of dirty & young
I haven't reproduced it myself but the fail scenario is that on such
machines (notably ARM and some embedded powerpc), if you manage to hit
that futex path on a writable page whose dirty bit has gone from the PTE,
you'll livelock inside the kernel from what I can tell.

It will go in a loop of trying the atomic access, failing, trying gup to
"fix it up", getting succcess from gup, go back to the atomic access,
failing again because dirty wasn't fixed etc...

So I think you essentially hang in the kernel.

The scenario is probably rare'ish because affected architecture are
embedded and tend to not swap much (if at all) so we probably rarely hit
the case where dirty is missing or young is missing, but I think Shan has
a piece of SW that can reliably reproduce it using a shared writable
mapping & fork or something like that.

On archs who use SW tracking of dirty & young, a page without dirty is
effectively mapped read-only and a page without young unaccessible in the
PTE.

Additionally, some architectures might lazily flush the TLB when relaxing
write protection (by doing only a local flush), and expect a fault to
invalidate the stale entry if it's still present on another processor.

The futex code assumes that if the "in_atomic()" access -EFAULT's, it can
"fix it up" by causing get_user_pages() which would then be equivalent to
taking the fault.

However that isn't the case.  get_user_pages() will not call
handle_mm_fault() in the case where the PTE seems to have the right
permissions, regardless of the dirty and young state.  It will eventually
update those bits ...  in the struct page, but not in the PTE.

Additionally, it will not handle the lazy TLB flushing that can be
required by some architectures in the fault case.

Basically, gup is the wrong interface for the job.  The patch provides a
more appropriate one which boils down to just calling handle_mm_fault()
since what we are trying to do is simulate a real page fault.

The futex code currently attempts to write to user memory within a
pagefault disabled section, and if that fails, tries to fix it up using
get_user_pages().

This doesn't work on archs where the dirty and young bits are maintained
by software, since they will gate access permission in the TLB, and will
not be updated by gup().

In addition, there's an expectation on some archs that a spurious write
fault triggers a local TLB flush, and that is missing from the picture as
well.

I decided that adding those "features" to gup() would be too much for this
already too complex function, and instead added a new simpler
fixup_user_fault() which is essentially a wrapper around handle_mm_fault()
which the futex code can call.

88bfa32479 module: add /sys/module/<name>/uevent files
Userspace wants to manage module parameters with udev rules.
This currently only works for loaded modules, but not for
built-in ones.

To allow access to the built-in modules we need to
re-trigger all module load events that happened before any
userspace was running. We already do the same thing for all
devices, subsystems(buses) and drivers.

This adds the currently missing /sys/module/<name>/uevent files
to all module entries.

2bd2d6f2dc sched: Replace use of entity_key()
"entity_key()" is only used in "__enqueue_entity()" and
its only function is to subtract a tasks vruntime by
its groups minvruntime.
Before this patch a rbtree enqueue-decision is done by
comparing two tasks in the style:

	"if (entity_key(cfs_rq, se) < entity_key(cfs_rq, entry))"

which would be

	"if (se->vruntime-cfs_rq->min_vruntime < entry->vruntime-cfs_rq->min_vruntime)"

or (if reducing cfs_rq->min_vruntime out)

	"if (se->vruntime < entry->vruntime)"

which is

	"if (entity_before(se, entry))"

So we do not need "entity_key()".
If "entity_before()" is inline we will also save one subtraction (only one,
because "entity_key(cfs_rq, se)"  was cached in "key")

acb5a9ba3b sched: Separate group-scheduling code more clearly
Clean up cfs/rt runqueue initialization by moving group scheduling
related code into the corresponding functions.

Also, keep group scheduling as an add-on, so that things are only done
additionally, i. e. remove the init_*_rq() calls from init_tg_*_entry().
(This removes a redundant initalization during sched_init()).

In case of group scheduling rt_rq->highest_prio.curr is now initialized
twice, but adding another #ifdef seems not worth it.

99bc52429f sched: Do not attempt to destroy uninitialized rt_bandwidth
If a task group is to be created and alloc_fair_sched_group() fails,
then the rt_bandwidth of the corresponding task group is not yet
initialized. The caller, sched_create_group(), starts a clean up
procedure which calls free_rt_sched_group() which unconditionally
destroys the not yet initialized rt_bandwidth.

This crashes or hangs the system in lock_hrtimer_base(): UP systems
dereference a NULL pointer, while SMP systems loop endlessly on a
condition that cannot become true.

This patch simply avoids the destruction of rt_bandwidth when the
initialization code path was not reached.

(This was discovered by accident with a custom kernel modification.)

No idea if it will actually work out to be beneficial in practice, does

9bbd737436 sched: update correct entity's runtime in check_preempt_wakeup()
While looking at check_preempt_wakeup() I realized that we are
potentially updating the wrong entity in the fair-group scheduling
case. In this case the current task's cfs_rq may not be the same as
the one used for the comparison between the waking task and the
existing task's vruntime.

This potentially results in us using a stale vruntime in the
pre-emption decision, providing a small false preference for the
previous task. The effects of this are bounded since we always
perform a hierarchal update on the tick.

8a35241803 ptrace: fix ptrace_signal() && STOP_DEQUEUED interaction
Simple test-case,

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		pid = fork();
		if (!pid) {
			pause();
			assert(0);
			return 0x23;
		}

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGSTOP);

		kill(pid, SIGCONT);	// <--- also clears STOP_DEQUEUD

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGCONT);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, SIGSTOP) == 0);
		assert(wait(&status) == pid);
		assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGSTOP);

		kill(pid, SIGKILL);
		return 0;
	}

Without the patch it hangs. After the patch SIGSTOP "injected" by the
tracer is not ignored and stops the tracee.

Note also that if this test-case uses, say, SIGWINCH instead of SIGCONT,
everything works without the patch. This can't be right, and this is
confusing.

The problem is that SIGSTOP (or any other sig_kernel_stop() signal) has
no effect without JOBCTL_STOP_DEQUEUED. This means it is simply ignored
after PTRACE_CONT unless JOBCTL_STOP_DEQUEUED was set "by accident", say
it wasn't cleared after initial SIGSTOP sent by PTRACE_ATTACH.

At first glance we could change ptrace_signal() to add STOP_DEQUEUED
after return from ptrace_stop(), but this is not right in case when the
tracer does not change the reported SIGSTOP and SIGCONT comes in between.
This is even more wrong with PT_SEIZED, SIGCONT adds JOBCTL_TRAP_NOTIFY
which will be "lost" during the TRAP_STOP | TRAP_NOTIFY report.

So lets add STOP_DEQUEUED _before_ we report the signal. It has no effect
unless sig_kernel_stop() == T after the tracer resumes us, and in the
latter case the pending STOP_DEQUEUED means no SIGCONT in between, we
should stop.

Note also that if SIGCONT was sent, PT_SEIZED tracee will correctly
report PTRACE_EVENT_STOP/SIGTRAP and thus the tracer can notice the fact
SIGSTOP was cancelled.

get_signal_to_deliver(), this looks more natural.
