df279ca896 bsdacct: fix access to invalid filp in acct_on()
The file opened in acct_on and freshly stored in the ns->bacct struct can
be closed in acct_file_reopen by a concurrent call after we release
acct_lock and before we call mntput(file->f_path.mnt).

Record file->f_path.mnt in a local variable and use this variable only.

5211a242d0 x86: Add sysctl to allow panic on IOCK NMI error
This patch introduces a new sysctl:

    /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi

which defaults to 0 (off).

When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.

The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.

This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.

[ SuSE has been shipping it for a while, it was done at the
  request of a large database vendor, for their users. ]

e6e18ec79b perf_counter: Rework the sample ABI
The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.

Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.

This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit
and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

bfbd3381e6 perf_counter: Implement more accurate per task statistics
With the introduction of PERF_EVENT_READ we have the
possibility to provide accurate counter values for
individual tasks in a task hierarchy.

However, due to the lazy context switching used for similar
counter contexts our current per task counts are way off.

In order to maintain some of the lazy switch benefits we
don't disable it out-right, but simply iterate the active
counters and flip the values between the contexts.

This only reads the counters but does not need to reprogram
the full PMU.

aa715284b4 futex: request only one page from get_user_pages()
Yanmin noticed that fault_in_user_writeable() requests 4 pages instead
of one.

That's the result of blindly trusting Linus' proposal :) I even looked

is confusingly enough named "len" while in reality it means number of
pages.

1155de47cd ring-buffer: Make it generally available
In hunting down the cause for the hwlat_detector ring buffer spew in
my failed -next builds it became obvious that folks are now treating
ring_buffer as something that is generic independent of tracing and thus,
suitable for public driver consumption.

Given that there are only a few minor areas in ring_buffer that have any
reliance on CONFIG_TRACING or CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER, provide stubs for
those and make it generally available.

3a6a6c16be audit: inode watches depend on CONFIG_AUDIT not CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL
Even though one cannot make use of the audit watch code without
CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL the spaghetti nature of the audit code means that
the audit rule filtering requires that it at least be compiled.

Thus build the audit_watch code when we build auditfilter like it was
before cfcad62c74

Clearly this is a point of potential future cleanup..

d0725992c8 futex: Fix the write access fault problem for real
commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which
modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write
access faults.

The patch was made on two wrong assumptions:

1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access.

   On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check.

2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us.

   That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call
   mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that
   call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the
   actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again.

The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write
access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to
fault it in with verification of write access.

There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault
the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will
fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF
overhead.

If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it
anymore and need to bail out to user space.

Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

507e123151 timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid function calls
When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer
stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to
__timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some
fields in the corresponding struct timer_list.

So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions
to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
when timer stats are disabled.

In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping
pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu
consumption by 1 - 1.5%.

This is part of a modified function trace output on SLES11:

e1c7e2a6e6 tracing/events: Don't increment @pos in s_start()
While testing syscall tracepoints posted by Jason, I found 3 entries
were missing when reading available_events. The output size of
available_events is < 4 pages, which means we lost 1 entry per page.

The cause is, it's wrong to increment @pos in s_start().

Actually there's another bug here -- reading avaiable_events/set_events
can race with module unload:

  # cat available_events               |
      s_start()                        |
      s_stop()                         |
                                       | # rmmod foo.ko
      s_start()                        |
        call = list_entry(m->private)  |

@call might be freed and accessing it will lead to crash.

916d75761c Fix rule eviction order for AUDIT_DIR
If syscall removes the root of subtree being watched, we
definitely do not want the rules refering that subtree
to be destroyed without the syscall in question having
a chance to match them.

9d96098510 Audit: clean up all op= output to include string quoting
A number of places in the audit system we send an op= followed by a string
that includes spaces.  Somehow this works but it's just wrong.  This patch
moves all of those that I could find to be quoted.

Example:

Change From: type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1244666690.117:31): auid=0 ses=1
subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:auditctl_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 op=remove rule
key="number2" list=4 res=0

Change To: type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1244666690.117:31): auid=0 ses=1
subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:auditctl_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 op="remove rule"

e85188f424 Audit: dereferencing krule as if it were an audit_watch
audit_update_watch() runs all of the rules for a given watch and duplicates
them, attaches a new watch to them, and then when it finishes that process
and has called free on all of the old rules (ok maybe still inside the rcu
grace period) it proceeds to use the last element from list_for_each_entry_safe()
as if it were a krule rather than being the audit_watch which was anchoring
the list to output a message about audit rules changing.

This patch unfies the audit message from two different places into a helper
function and calls it from the correct location in audit_update_rules().  We
will now get an audit message about the config changing for each rule (with
each rules filterkey) rather than the previous garbage.

b87ce6e418 Audit: better estimation of execve record length
The audit execve record splitting code estimates the length of the message
generated.  But it forgot to include the "" that wrap each string in its
estimation.  This means that execve messages with lots of tiny (1-2 byte)
arguments could still cause records greater than 8k to be emitted.  Simply
fix the estimate.

We don't need to add usage counts for swcounter and attr usage
models for inherited counters since the parent counter will
always have one, which suffices to generate the needed output.

This avoids up to 3 global atomic increments per inherited

31950eb66f mm/init: cpu_hotplug_init() must be initialized before SLAB
SLAB uses get/put_online_cpus() which use a mutex which is itself only
initialized when cpu_hotplug_init() is called.  Currently we hang suring
boot in SLAB due to doing that too late.

Reported by James Bottomley and Sachin Sant (and possibly others).
Debugged by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.

This just removes the dynamic initialization of the data structures, and
replaces it with a static one, avoiding this dependency entirely, and
removing one unnecessary special initcall.
