Instead of using /dev/mem directly and forcing userspace to know (or
extract) where the platform has defined persistent memory, how many slots
it has, the sizes, etc, use the common pstore infrastructure to handle
Oops gathering and extraction. This presents a much easier to use
filesystem-based view to the memory region. This also means that any
other tools that are written to understand pstore will automatically be
able to process ramoops too.

c/r: prctl: add ability to set new mm_struct::exe_file
When we do restore we would like to have a way to setup a former
mm_struct::exe_file so that /proc/pid/exe would point to the original
executable file a process had at checkpoint time.
For this the PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE code is introduced. This option takes a
file descriptor which will be set as a source for new /proc/$pid/exe
symlink.
Note it allows to change /proc/$pid/exe if there are no VM_EXECUTABLE
vmas present for current process, simply because this feature is a special
to C/R and mm::num_exe_file_vmas become meaningless after that.
To minimize the amount of transition the /proc/pid/exe symlink might have,
this feature is implemented in one-shot manner. Thus once changed the
symlink can't be changed again. This should help sysadmins to monitor the
symlinks over all process running in a system.
In particular one could make a snapshot of processes and ring alarm if
there unexpected changes of /proc/pid/exe's in a system.
Note -- this feature is available iif CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set and
the caller must have CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability granted, otherwise the
request to change symlink will be rejected.
c/r: prctl: extend PR_SET_MM to set up more mm_struct entries
During checkpoint we dump whole process memory to a file and the dump
includes process stack memory. But among stack data itself, the stack
carries additional parameters such as command line arguments, environment
data and auxiliary vector.
So when we do restore procedure and once we've restored stack data itself
we need to setup mm_struct::arg_start/end, env_start/end, so restored
process would be able to find command line arguments and environment data
it had at checkpoint time. The same applies to auxiliary vector.
For this reason additional PR_SET_MM_(ARG_START | ARG_END | ENV_START |
ENV_END | AUXV) codes are introduced.

c/r: procfs: add arg_start/end, env_start/end and exit_code members to /proc/$pid/stat
We would like to have an ability to restore command line arguments and
program environment pointers but first we need to obtain them somehow.
Thus we put these values into /proc/$pid/stat. The exit_code is needed to
restore zombie tasks.
While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine
whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are
shared between tasks and restore this state.
The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the
unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one.
One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to
provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such
info considered to be not that good for security reasons.
Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named
'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it --
__NR_kcmp.
It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which
characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of
comparison of files) two file descriptors.
Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only.
At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

When we do checkpoint of a task we need to know the list of children the
task, has but there is no easy and fast way to generate reverse
parent->children chain from arbitrary <pid> (while a parent pid is
provided in "PPid" field of /proc/<pid>/status).
So instead of walking over all pids in the system (creating one big
process tree in memory, just to figure out which children a task has) --
we add explicit /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children entry, because the kernel
already has this kind of information but it is not yet exported.
This is a first level children, not the whole process tree.

ipc/sem.c uses a custom wakeup scheme that relies on preempt_disable().
On -RT, this causes increased latencies and debug warnings.
The patch adds two additional schemes:
- one built around a completion - could be better for -RT kernels
- one built around a spinlock - unfortunately it's broken
- and the current one
My preferred solution would be the spinlock implementation: RT would use
premptible spinlocks, mainline normal spinlocks. Thus both get the
optimal implementation without any special code in ipc/sem.c.
Unfortunately, I don't see how it could be fixed.

The system deadlocks (at least since 2.6.10) when
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_EXEC) request triggered
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC) request.
This is because "khelper thread is waiting for the worker thread at
wait_for_completion() in do_fork() since the worker thread was created
with CLONE_VFORK flag" and "the worker thread cannot call complete()
because do_execve() is blocked at UMH_WAIT_PROC request" and "the khelper
thread cannot start processing UMH_WAIT_PROC request because the khelper
thread is waiting for the worker thread at wait_for_completion() in
do_fork()".
In order to avoid deadlock, do not try to call wait_for_completion() in
call_usermodehelper_exec() if the worker thread was created by khelper
thread with CLONE_VFORK flag.
The easiest example to observe this deadlock is to use a corrupted
/sbin/hotplug binary (like shown below).
call_usermodehelper("/tmp/dummy", UMH_WAIT_EXEC) is called from
kobject_uevent_env() in lib/kobject_uevent.c upon loading/unloading a
module. do_execve("/tmp/dummy") triggers a call to
request_module("binfmt-0000") from search_binary_handler() which in turn
calls call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC).
There are various hooks called during do_execve() operation (e.g.
security_bprm_check(), audit_bprm(), "struct
linux_binfmt"->load_binary()). If one of such hooks triggers
UMH_WAIT_EXEC, this deadlock will happen even if /sbin/hotplug is not
corrupted.

kmod: move call_usermodehelper_fns() to .c file and unexport all it's helpers
If we move call_usermodehelper_fns() to kmod.c file and EXPORT_SYMBOL it
we can avoid exporting all it's helper functions:
call_usermodehelper_setup
call_usermodehelper_setfns
call_usermodehelper_exec
And make all of them static to kmod.c
Since the optimizer will see all these as a single call site it will
inline them inside call_usermodehelper_fns(). So we loose the call to
_fns but gain 3 calls to the helpers. (Not that it matters)
kmod: convert two call sites to call_usermodehelper_fns()
Both kernel/sys.c && security/keys/request_key.c where inlining the exact
same code as call_usermodehelper_fns(); So simply convert these sites to
directly use call_usermodehelper_fns().
SPEAr platforms now support DT and so must convert all drivers support DT.
This patch adds DT probing support for rtc and updates its documentation
too.

Previous code was using optimizations which were developed to work well
even on narrow-word CPUs (by today's standards). But Linux runs only on
32-bit and wider CPUs. We can use that.
First: using 32x32->64 multiply and trivial 32-bit shift, we can correctly
divide by 10 much larger numbers, and thus we can print groups of 9 digits
instead of groups of 5 digits.
Next: there are two algorithms to print larger numbers. One is generic:
divide by 1000000000 and repeatedly print groups of (up to) 9 digits.
It's conceptually simple, but requires an (unsigned long long) / 1000000000 division.
Second algorithm splits 64-bit unsigned long long into 16-bit chunks,
manipulates them cleverly and generates groups of 4 decimal digits. It so
happens that it does NOT require long long division.
If long is > 32 bits, division of 64-bit values is relatively easy, and we
will use the first algorithm. If long long is > 64 bits (strange
architecture with VERY large long long), second algorithm can't be used,
and we again use the first one.
Else (if long is 32 bits and long long is 64 bits) we use second one.
And third: there is a simple optimization which takes fast path not only
for zero as was done before, but for all one-digit numbers.
In all tested cases new code is faster than old one, in many cases by 30%,
in few cases by more than 50% (for example, on x86-32, conversion of 12345678). Code growth is ~0 in 32-bit case and ~130 bytes in 64-bit
case.

memcg: fix/change behavior of shared anon at moving task
This patch changes memcg's behavior at task_move().
At task_move(), the kernel scans a task's page table and move the changes
for mapped pages from source cgroup to target cgroup. There has been a
bug at handling shared anonymous pages for a long time.
Before patch:
- The spec says 'shared anonymous pages are not moved.'
- The implementation was 'shared anonymoys pages may be moved'.
If page_mapcount <=2, shared anonymous pages's charge were moved.
After patch:
- The spec says 'all anonymous pages are moved'.
- The implementation is 'all anonymous pages are moved'.
Considering usage of memcg, this will not affect user's experience.
'shared anonymous' pages only exists between a tree of processes which
don't do exec(). Moving one of process without exec() seems not sane.
For example, libcgroup will not be affected by this change. (Anyway, no
one noticed the implementation for a long time...)
Below is a discussion log:
- current spec/implementation are complex
- Now, shared file caches are moved
- It adds unclear check as page_mapcount(). To do correct check,
we should check swap users, etc.
- No one notice this implementation behavior. So, no one get benefit
from the design.
- In general, once task is moved to a cgroup for running, it will not
be moved....
- Finally, we have control knob as memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.
Here is a patch to allow moving shared pages, completely. This makes
memcg simpler and fix current broken code.

Add a userspace visible knob to tell the VM to keep an extra amount of
memory free, by increasing the gap between each zone's min and low
watermarks.
This is useful for realtime applications that call system calls and have a
bound on the number of allocations that happen in any short time period.
In this application, extra_free_kbytes would be left at an amount equal to
or larger than than the maximum number of allocations that happen in any
burst.
It may also be useful to reduce the memory use of virtual machines
(temporarily?), in a way that does not cause memory fragmentation like
ballooning does.

After commit v2.6.36-5896-gd065bd8 "mm: retry page fault when blocking on
disk transfer" we usually wait in page-faults without mmap_sem held, so
all swap-token logic was broken, because it based on using
rwsem_is_locked(&mm->mmap_sem) as sign of in progress page-faults.
Add an atomic counter of in progress page-faults for mm to the mm_struct
with swap-token.

lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h. But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.
Since there are at least two users it makes sense to share this code in a
library. This is also easier maintainable than a macro forest.
This will also make it later possible to dynamically allocate lglocks and
also use them in modules (this would both still need some additional, but
now straightforward, code)
In general the users now look more like normal function calls with
pointers, not magic macros.
The patch is rather large because I move over all users in one go to keep
it bisectable. This impacts the VFS somewhat in terms of lines changed.
But no actual behaviour change.

On systems that have user-writable directories on the same partition as
system files, a long-standing class of security issues is the
hardlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in
world-writable directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation
of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given
hardlink (i.e. a root process follows a hardlink created by another
user). Additionally, an issue exists where users can "pin" a potentially
vulnerable setuid/setgid file so that an administrator will not actually
upgrade a system fully.
The solution is to permit hardlinks to only be created when the user is
already the existing file's owner, or if they already have read/write
access to the existing file.
Many Linux users are surprised when they learn they can link to files they
have no access to, so this change appears to follow the doctrine of "least
surprise". Additionally, this change does not violate POSIX, which states
"the implementation may require that the calling process has permission to
access the existing file"[1].
This change is known to break some implementations of the "at" daemon,
though the version used by Fedora and Ubuntu has been fixed[2] for a
while. Otherwise, the change has been undisruptive while in use in Ubuntu
for the last 1.5 years.
This patch is based on the patch in Openwall and grsecurity. I have added
a sysctl to enable the protected behavior, documentation, and an audit
notification.

A longstanding class of security issues is the symlink-based
time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in world-writable
directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation of this flaw is
to cross privilege boundaries when following a given symlink (i.e. a root
process follows a symlink belonging to another user). For a likely
incomplete list of hundreds of examples across the years, please see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=/tmp
The solution is to permit symlinks to only be followed when outside a
sticky world-writable directory, or when the uid of the symlink and
follower match, or when the directory owner matches the symlink's owner.

Past objections and rebuttals could be summarized as:
- Violates POSIX.
- POSIX didn't consider this situation and it's not useful to follow
a broken specification at the cost of security.
- Might break unknown applications that use this feature.
- Applications that break because of the change are easy to spot and
fix. Applications that are vulnerable to symlink ToCToU by not having
the change aren't. Additionally, no applications have yet been found
that rely on this behavior.
- Applications should just use mkstemp() or O_CREATE|O_EXCL.
- True, but applications are not perfect, and new software is written
all the time that makes these mistakes; blocking this flaw at the
kernel is a single solution to the entire class of vulnerability.
- This should live in the core VFS.
- This should live in an LSM. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/31/135)

m32r: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask()
As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block is
pending in the shared queue.
Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f28f
("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate code
across architectures. In the past some architectures got this code wrong,
so using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

avr32: don't mask signals in the error path
The current handle_signal() implementation is broken - it will mask
signals if we fail to setup the signal stack frame, which isn't the
desired behaviour, we should only be masking signals if we succeed in
setting up the stack frame. It looks like this code was copied from the
old (broken) arm implementation but wasn't updated when the arm code was
fixed in commit a6c61e9dfdd0 ("[ARM] 3168/1: Update ARM signal delivery
and masking").

acerhdf: lowered default temp fanon/fanoff values
Due to new supported hardware, of which the actual temperature limits of
processor, harddisk and other components are unknown, it feels safer with
lower fanon / fanoff settings.
It won't change much for most people, already using acerhdf, as they use
their own fanon/fanoff variable settings when loading the module.
Furthermore seems like kernel and userspace tools have been improved to
work more efficient and netbooks don't get so hot anymore.
