Kill a hard-to-calculate 'rsinterval' boot parameter and per-cpu
rcu_data.last_rs_qlen. Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled,
which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the
last rcu_start_batch().
Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks
from ->nxtlist to ->donelist. This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark
and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again
after we gone through a quiescent state.
On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again
when another CPU detects overflow of the queue.

rcu_random uses a counter rrs_count to occasionally mix data from
get_random_bytes into the state of its pseudorandom generator. However,
the rrs_counter gets declared as an unsigned long, and rcu_random checks
for --rrs_count < 0, so this code will never mix any real random data into
the state, and will thus always return the same sequence of random numbers.
Also, change the return value of rcu_random from long to unsigned long, to
avoid potential issues caused by the use of the % operator, which can
return negative values for negative left operands.

The patch also makes srcu_init_notifier_head() report a BUG if a notifier

in the most likely cases where this might occur I don't think any recovery

This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU
(Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel. An
SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must
be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep.
The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU
mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has
extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing. On
the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain
head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be
deallocated).
SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very
frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom. The proposed
"task notifier" scheme qualifies, as may some of the network notifiers.

Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side
critical sections. SRCU is as follows:
o Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each
srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods. This is
critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking
reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other
subsystems.
o The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(),
and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct.
o The SRCU primitives must be called from process context.
o srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to
the matching srcu_read_unlock(). Realtime RCU avoids the
need for this by storing the state in the task struct,
but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through
multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct
would therefore require either arbitrary space in the
task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting. So I
kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller.
Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu()
while in an SRCU read-side critical section.
o There is no call_srcu(). It would not be hard to implement
one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system.
(Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does
-not- permit readers to sleep!!!) So, if you want it,
please tell me why...

With the msi support comes a new concept in irq handling, irqs that are
created dynamically at run time.
Currently the msi code allocates irqs backwards. First it allocates a
platform dependent routing value for an interrupt the ``vector'' and then it
figures out from the vector which irq you are on.
This msi backwards allocator suffers from two basic problems. The allocator
suffers because it is trying to do something that is architecture specific in
a generic way making it brittle, inflexible, and tied to tightly to the
architecture implementation. The alloctor also suffers from it's very
backwards nature as it has tied things together that should have no
dependencies.
To solve the basic dynamic irq allocation problem two new architecture
specific functions are added: create_irq and destroy_irq.
create_irq takes no input and returns an unused irq number, that won't be
reused until it is returned to the free poll with destroy_irq. The irq then
can be used for any purpose although the only initial consumer is the msi
code.
destroy_irq takes an irq number allocated with create_irq and returns it to
the free pool.
Making this functionality per architecture increases the simplicity of the irq
allocation code and increases it's flexibility.
dynamic_irq_init() and dynamic_irq_cleanup() are added to automate the
irq_desc initializtion that should happen for dynamic irqs.

Currently move_native_irq disables and renables the irq we are migrating to
ensure we don't take that irq when we are actually doing the migration
operation. Disabling the irq needs to happen but sometimes doing the work is
move_native_irq is too late.
On x86 with ioapics the irq move sequences needs to be:
edge_triggered:
mask irq.
move irq.
unmask irq.
ack irq.
level_triggered:
mask irq.
ack irq.
move irq.
unmask irq.
We can easily perform the edge triggered sequence, with the current defintion
of move_native_irq. However the level triggered case does not map well. For
that I have added move_masked_irq, to allow me to disable the irqs around both
the ack and the move.
Q: Why have we not seen this problem earlier?
A: The only symptom I have been able to reproduce is that if we change
the vector before acknowleding an irq the wrong irq is acknowledged.
Since we currently are not reprogramming the irq vector during
migration no problems show up.
We have to mask the irq before we acknowledge the irq or else we could
hit a window where an irq is asserted just before we acknowledge it.
Edge triggered irqs do not have this problem because acknowledgements
do not propogate in the same way.

The primary aim of this patchset is to remove maintenances problems caused by
the irq infrastructure. The two big issues I address are an artificially
small cap on the number of irqs, and that MSI assumes vector == irq. My
primary focus is on x86_64 but I have touched other architectures where
necessary to keep them from breaking.
- To increase the number of irqs I modify the code to look at the (cpu,
vector) pair instead of just looking at the vector.
With a large number of irqs available systems with a large irq count no
longer need to compress their irq numbers to fit. Removing a lot of brittle
special cases.
For acpi guys the result is that irq == gsi.
- Addressing the fact that MSI assumes irq == vector takes a few more
patches. But suffice it to say when I am done none of the generic irq code
even knows what a vector is.
In quick testing on a large Unisys x86_64 machine we stumbled over at least
one driver that assumed that NR_IRQS could always fit into an 8 bit number.
This driver is clearly buggy today. But this has become a class of bugs that
it is now much easier to hit.
This patch:
This is a minor space optimization. In practice I don't think this has any
affect because of our alignment constraints and the other fields but there is
not point in chewing up an uncessary word and since we already read the flag
field this should improve the cache hit ratio of the irq handler.

Force /sbin/init off isolated cpus (unless every CPU is specified as an
isolcpu).
Users seem to think that the isolated CPUs shouldn't have much running on
them to begin with. That's fair enough: intuitive, I guess. It also means
that the cpu affinity masks of tasks will not include isolcpus by default,
which is also more intuitive, perhaps.
/sbin/init is spawned from the boot CPU's idle thread, and /sbin/init
starts the rest of userspace. So if the boot CPU is specified to be an
isolcpu, then prior to this patch, all of userspace will be run there.

There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The
ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a
cached pid (cad_pid).
This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
modified through systctl with
/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid
[ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]
It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

This patch fixes copy_namespaces()'s error path.
when new nsproxy (new_ns) is created pointers to namespaces (ipc, uts) are
copied from the old nsproxy. Later in copy_utsname, copy_ipcs, etc.
according namespaces are get-ed. On error path needed namespaces are
put-ed, so there's no need to put new nsproxy itelf as it woud cause
putting namespaces for the second time.
Found when incorporating namespaces into OpenVZ kernel.

This patch set allows to unshare IPCs and have a private set of IPC objects
(sem, shm, msg) inside namespace. Basically, it is another building block of
containers functionality.
This patch implements core IPC namespace changes:
- ipc_namespace structure
- new config option CONFIG_IPC_NS
- adds CLONE_NEWIPC flag
- unshare support

The nsproxy was being copied in unshare() when anything was being unshared,
even if it was something not referenced from nsproxy. This should end up
in some cases with far more memory usage than necessary.

Sysctl uts patch. This will need to be done another way, but since sysctl
itself needs to be container aware, 'the right thing' is a separate patchset.

This patch defines the uts namespace and some manipulators.
Adds the uts namespace to task_struct, and initializes a
system-wide init namespace.
It leaves a #define for system_utsname so sysctl will compile.
This define will be removed in a separate patch.

In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the
appropriate one to use. This patch replaces those with a the init_utsname
helper.
Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname(). Hope I picked all the
right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c. These are now changed to
utsname() (the per-process namespace utsname) in the previous
patch (2/7)
