5a43b88e98 rcu: Remove "select IRQ_WORK" from config TREE_RCU
The 48a7639ce8 ("rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthread")
removed the irq_work_queue(), so the TREE_RCU doesn't need
irq work any more.  This commit therefore updates RCU's Kconfig and

6ef4536e2f init: allow CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK=n to disable defaults if init= fails
If a user puts init=/whatever on the command line and /whatever can't be
run, then the kernel will try a few default options before giving up.  If
init=/whatever came from a bootloader prompt, then this is unexpected but
probably harmless.  On the other hand, if it comes from a script (e.g.  a
tool like virtme or perhaps a future kselftest script), then the fallbacks
are likely to exist, but they'll do the wrong thing.  For example, they
might unexpectedly invoke systemd.

This adds a config option CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK.  If unset, then a failure
to run the specified init= process be fatal.

The tentative plan is to remove CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK for 3.20.

3e32cb2e0a mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters
Memory is internally accounted in bytes, using spinlock-protected 64-bit
counters, even though the smallest accounting delta is a page.  The
counter interface is also convoluted and does too many things.

Introduce a new lockless word-sized page counter API, then change all
memory accounting over to it.  The translation from and to bytes then only
happens when interfacing with userspace.

The removed locking overhead is noticable when scaling beyond the per-cpu
charge caches - on a 4-socket machine with 144-threads, the following test
shows the performance differences of 288 memcgs concurrently running a
page fault benchmark:

On top of improved scalability, this also gets rid of the icky long long
types in the very heart of memcg, which is great for 32 bit and also makes
the code a lot more readable.

Notable differences between the old and new API:

- res_counter_charge() and res_counter_charge_nofail() become
  page_counter_try_charge() and page_counter_charge() resp. to match
  the more common kernel naming scheme of try_do()/do()

- res_counter_uncharge_until() is only ever used to cancel a local
  counter and never to uncharge bigger segments of a hierarchy, so
  it's replaced by the simpler page_counter_cancel()

- res_counter_set_limit() is replaced by page_counter_limit(), which
  expects its callers to serialize against themselves

- res_counter_memparse_write_strategy() is replaced by
  page_counter_limit(), which rounds down to the nearest page size -
  rather than up.  This is more reasonable for explicitely requested
  hard upper limits.

- to keep charging light-weight, page_counter_try_charge() charges
  speculatively, only to roll back if the result exceeds the limit.
  Because of this, a failing bigger charge can temporarily lock out
  smaller charges that would otherwise succeed.  The error is bounded
  to the difference between the smallest and the biggest possible
  charge size, so for memcg, this means that a failing THP charge can
  send base page charges into reclaim upto 2MB (4MB) before the limit
  would have been reached.  This should be acceptable.

f89b7755f5 bpf: split eBPF out of NET
introduce two configs:
- hidden CONFIG_BPF to select eBPF interpreter that classic socket filters
  depend on
- visible CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL (default off) that tracing and sockets can use

that solves several problems:
- tracing and others that wish to use eBPF don't need to depend on NET.
  They can use BPF_SYSCALL to allow loading from userspace or select BPF
  to use it directly from kernel in NET-less configs.
- in 3.18 programs cannot be attached to events yet, so don't force it on
- when the rest of eBPF infra is there in 3.19+, it's still useful to
  switch it off to minimize kernel size

add/remove: 0/60 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-15601 (-15601)

6a33979d5b mm: remove misleading ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE
ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE was defined for architectures that implemented
_PAGE_NUMA using _PROT_NONE.  This saved using an additional PTE bit and
relied on the fact that PROT_NONE vmas were skipped by the NUMA hinting
fault scanner.  This was found to be conceptually confusing with a lot of
implicit assumptions and it was asked that an alternative be found.

Commit c46a7c81 "x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the
PMD and PTE levels" redefined _PAGE_NUMA on x86 to be one of the swap PTE
bits and shrunk the maximum possible swap size but it did not go far
enough.  There are no architectures that reuse _PROT_NONE as _PROT_NUMA
but the relics still exist.

This patch removes ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE and removes some unnecessary
duplication in powerpc vs the generic implementation by defining the types
the core NUMA helpers expected to exist from x86 with their ppc64
equivalent.  This necessitated that a PTE bit mask be created that
identified the bits that distinguish present from NUMA pte entries but it
is expected this will only differ between arches based on _PAGE_PROTNONE.
The naming for the generic helpers was taken from x86 originally but ppc64
has types that are equivalent for the purposes of the helper so they are
mapped instead of duplicating code.

62b4d20411 init/Kconfig: Fix HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG to not break up the EXPERT menu
commit 03b8c7b623 ("futex: Allow
architectures to skip futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() test") added the
HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG symbol right below FUTEX.  This placed it right in
the middle of the options for the EXPERT menu.  However,
HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG does not depend on EXPERT or FUTEX, so Kconfig stops
placing items in the EXPERT menu, and displays the remaining several
EXPERT items (starting with EPOLL) directly in the General Setup menu.

Since both users of HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG only select it "if FUTEX", make
HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG itself depend on FUTEX.  With this change, the
subsequent items display as part of the EXPERT menu again; the EMBEDDED
menu now appears as the next top-level item in the General Setup menu,
which makes General Setup much shorter and more usable.

f4579fc57c rcu: Fix attempt to avoid unsolicited offloading of callbacks
Commit b58cc46c5f (rcu: Don't offload callbacks unless specifically
requested) failed to adjust the callback lists of the CPUs that are
known to be no-CBs CPUs only because they are also nohz_full= CPUs.
This failure can result in callbacks that are posted during early boot
getting stranded on nxtlist for CPUs whose no-CBs property becomes
apparent late, and there can also be spurious warnings about offline
CPUs posting callbacks.

This commit fixes these problems by adding an early-boot rcu_init_nohz()
that properly initializes the no-CBs CPUs.

Note that kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y or with
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n do not exhibit this bug.  Neither do kernels
booted without the nohz_full= boot parameter.

8315f42295 rcu: Add call_rcu_tasks()
This commit adds a new RCU-tasks flavor of RCU, which provides
call_rcu_tasks().  This RCU flavor's quiescent states are voluntary
context switch (not preemption!) and userspace execution (not the idle
loop -- use some sort of schedule_on_each_cpu() if you need to handle the
idle tasks.  Note that unlike other RCU flavors, these quiescent states
occur in tasks, not necessarily CPUs.  Includes fixes from Steven Rostedt.

This RCU flavor is assumed to have very infrequent latency-tolerant
updaters.  This assumption permits significant simplifications, including
a single global callback list protected by a single global lock, along
with a single task-private linked list containing all tasks that have not
yet passed through a quiescent state.  If experience shows this assumption
to be incorrect, the required additional complexity will be added.

beb50df39e kbuild: handle module compression while running 'make modules_install'.
Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed
modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules
right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per
distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic.

This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu
and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz.

Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen
and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n
argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that
way we can save some more bytes.

On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a
total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table
shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config :

       |           time                |
       +-------------+-----------------+
       | manual .ko  |       make      | size | percent
       | compression | modules_install |      | gain
       +-------------+-----------------+------+--------
  -    |             |     18.61s      | 378M |
  GZIP |   3m16s     |     3m37s       | 102M | 73.41%
  XZ   |   5m22s     |     5m39s       |  77M | 79.83%

The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while
uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module,
that is generally done only once.

This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is
compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression
and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

23b2899f7f printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUs
The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a
large amount of CPUs under heavy load.  What ends up happening when
debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making
debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter.
An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or
two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that
will vary widely depending on the system and environment.

There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing
through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring
buffer per CPU.  We also have a static value which can be passed upon
boot.  Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and
relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an
issue has creeped up.  Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive
measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to
the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case
scenario.

We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be
introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time,
num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of
CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off.
This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the
kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips
over, the size is specified as a power of 2.  The total amount of
contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default
kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger
an increase upon bootup.  The kernel ring buffer is increased to the
next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer
size plus the additional CPU contribution.  For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT
is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs
in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer.  With a
LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64
possible CPUs to trigger an increase.  If you had 128 possible CPUs the
amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to:

   ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB

Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required
size would be 1024 KB.

This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel
parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an
expected power of two value.

b58cc46c5f rcu: Don't offload callbacks unless specifically requested
Enabling NO_HZ_FULL currently has the side effect of enabling callback
offloading on all CPUs.  This results in lots of additional rcuo kthreads,
and can also increase context switching and wakeups, even in cases where
callback offloading is neither needed nor particularly desirable.  This
commit therefore enables callback offloading on a given CPU only if
specifically requested at build time or boot time, or if that CPU has
been specifically designated (again, either at build time or boot time)
as a nohz_full CPU.

5d2acfc7b9 kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT
"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.

However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT.  For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.

To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols.  Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT).  allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

32d01dc7be Merge branch 'for-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot updates for cgroup:

   - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs.  cgroup took
     after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
     made it even more convoluted over time.  cgroup's internal objects
     were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
     object lifetime rules.  Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
     don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
     dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
     number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
     actually necessary, needed to be employed.

     After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
     rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
     of several nasty hacks and overall simplification.  This will also
     allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
     which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
     i_mutexes.

   - Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
     easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
     handling and task_cg_lists optimization.

   - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
     a patchset away from being actually operational.  The dummy
     hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
     Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
     associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
     anyway.

   - Various fixes from Li and others.  This pull request includes some
     patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems.  This was
     triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h.  cgroup.h
     indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
     which brought in slab.h.

  There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
  necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
  driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

2bd59d48eb cgroup: convert to kernfs
cgroup filesystem code was derived from the original sysfs
implementation which was heavily intertwined with vfs objects and
locking with the goal of re-using the existing vfs infrastructure.
That experiment turned out rather disastrous and sysfs switched, a
long time ago, to distributed filesystem model where a separate
representation is maintained which is queried by vfs.  Unfortunately,
cgroup stuck with the failed experiment all these years and
accumulated even more problems over time.

Locking and object lifetime management being entangled with vfs is
probably the most egregious.  vfs is never designed to be misused like
this and cgroup ends up jumping through various convoluted dancing to
make things work.  Even then, operations across multiple cgroups can't
be done safely as it'll deadlock with rename locking.

Recently, kernfs is separated out from sysfs so that it can be used by
users other than sysfs.  This patch converts cgroup to use kernfs,
which will bring the following benefits.

* Separation from vfs internals.  Locking and object lifetime
  management is contained in cgroup proper making things a lot
  simpler.  This removes significant amount of locking convolutions,
  hairy object lifetime rules and the restriction on multi-cgroup
  operations.

* Can drop a lot of code to implement filesystem interface as most are
  provided by kernfs.

* Proper "severing" semantics, which allows controllers to not worry
  about lingering file accesses after offline.

While the preceding patches did as much as possible to make the
transition less painful, large part of the conversion has to be one
discrete step making this patch rather large.  The rest of the commit
message lists notable changes in different areas.

Overall
-------

* vfs constructs replaced with kernfs ones.  cgroup->dentry w/ ->kn,
  cgroupfs_root->sb w/ ->kf_root.

* All dentry accessors are removed.  Helpers to map from kernfs
  constructs are added.

* All vfs plumbing around dentry, inode and bdi removed.

* cgroup_mount() now directly looks for matching root and then
  proceeds to create a new one if not found.

Synchronization and object lifetime
-----------------------------------

* vfs inode locking removed.  Among other things, this removes the
  need for the convolution in cgroup_cfts_commit().  Future patches
  will further simplify it.

* vfs refcnting replaced with cgroup internal ones.  cgroup->refcnt,
  cgroupfs_root->refcnt added.  cgroup_put_root() now directly puts
  root->refcnt and when it reaches zero proceeds to destroy it thus
  merging cgroup_put_root() and the former cgroup_kill_sb().
  Simliarly, cgroup_put() now directly schedules cgroup_free_rcu()
  when refcnt reaches zero.

* Unlike before, kernfs objects don't hold onto cgroup objects.  When
  cgroup destroys a kernfs node, all existing operations are drained
  and the association is broken immediately.  The same for
  cgroupfs_roots and mounts.

* All operations which come through kernfs guarantee that the
  associated cgroup is and stays valid for the duration of operation;
  however, there are two paths which need to find out the associated
  cgroup from dentry without going through kernfs -
  css_tryget_from_dir() and cgroupstats_build().  For these two,
  kernfs_node->priv is RCU managed so that they can dereference it
  under RCU read lock.

File and directory handling
---------------------------

* File and directory operations converted to kernfs_ops and
  kernfs_syscall_ops.

* xattrs is implicitly supported by kernfs.  No need to worry about it
  from cgroup.  This means that "xattr" mount option is no longer
  necessary.  A future patch will add a deprecated warning message
  when sane_behavior.

* When cftype->max_write_len > PAGE_SIZE, it's necessary to make a
  private copy of one of the kernfs_ops to set its atomic_write_len.
  cftype->kf_ops is added and cgroup_init/exit_cftypes() are updated
  to handle it.

* cftype->lockdep_key added so that kernfs lockdep annotation can be
  per cftype.

* Inidividual file entries and open states are now managed by kernfs.
  No need to worry about them from cgroup.  cfent, cgroup_open_file
  and their friends are removed.

* kernfs_nodes are created deactivated and kernfs_activate()
  invocations added to places where creation of new nodes are
  committed.

* cgroup_rmdir() uses kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() for
  self-removal.

v2: - Li pointed out in an earlier patch that specifying "name="
      during mount without subsystem specification should succeed if
      there's an existing hierarchy with a matching name although it
      should fail with -EINVAL if a new hierarchy should be created.
      Prior to the conversion, this used by handled by deferring
      failure from NULL return from cgroup_root_from_opts(), which was
      necessary because root was being created before checking for
      existing ones.  Note that cgroup_root_from_opts() returned an
      ERR_PTR() value for error conditions which require immediate
      mount failure.

      As we now have separate search and creation steps, deferring
      failure from cgroup_root_from_opts() is no longer necessary.
      cgroup_root_from_opts() is updated to always return ERR_PTR()
      value on failure.

    - The logic to match existing roots is updated so that a mount
      attempt with a matching name but different subsys_mask are
      rejected.  This was handled by a separate matching loop under
      the comment "Check for name clashes with existing mounts" but
      got lost during conversion.  Merge the check into the main
      search loop.

    - Add __rcu __force casting in RCU_INIT_POINTER() in
      cgroup_destroy_locked() to avoid the sparse address space
      warning reported by kbuild test bot.  Maybe we want an explicit
      interface to use kn->priv as RCU protected pointer?

v3: Make CONFIG_CGROUPS select CONFIG_KERNFS.

v4: Rebased on top of 0ab02ca8f8 ("cgroup: protect modifications to
    cgroup_idr with cgroup_mutex").

79bd9814e5 cgroup, memcg: move cgroup_event implementation to memcg
cgroup_event is way over-designed and tries to build a generic
flexible event mechanism into cgroup - fully customizable event
specification for each user of the interface.  This is utterly
unnecessary and overboard especially in the light of the planned
unified hierarchy as there's gonna be single agent.  Simply generating
events at fixed points, or if that's too restrictive, configureable
cadence or single set of configureable points should be enough.

Thankfully, memcg is the only user and gets to keep it.  Replacing it
with something simpler on sane_behavior is strongly recommended.

This patch moves cgroup_event and "cgroup.event_control"
implementation to mm/memcontrol.c.  Clearing of events on cgroup
destruction is moved from cgroup_destroy_locked() to
mem_cgroup_css_offline(), which shouldn't make any noticeable
difference.

cgroup_css() and __file_cft() are exported to enable the move;
however, this will soon be reverted once the event code is updated to
be memcg specific.

Note that "cgroup.event_control" will now exist only on the hierarchy
with memcg attached to it.  While this change is visible to userland,
it is unlikely to be noticeable as the file has never been meaningful
outside memcg.

Aside from the above change, this is pure code relocation.

v2: Per Li Zefan's comments, init/Kconfig updated accordingly and
    poll.h inclusion moved from cgroup.c to memcontrol.c.

78dc53c422 Merge branch 'for-linus2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:
 "In this patchset, we finally get an SELinux update, with Paul Moore
  taking over as maintainer of that code.

  Also a significant update for the Keys subsystem, as well as
  maintenance updates to Smack, IMA, TPM, and Apparmor"

and since I wanted to know more about the updates to key handling,
here's the explanation from David Howells on that:

 "Okay.  There are a number of separate bits.  I'll go over the big bits
  and the odd important other bit, most of the smaller bits are just
  fixes and cleanups.  If you want the small bits accounting for, I can
  do that too.

   (1) Keyring capacity expansion.

        KEYS: Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for key access
        KEYS: Introduce a search context structure
        KEYS: Search for auth-key by name rather than target key ID
        Add a generic associative array implementation.
        KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring

     Several of the patches are providing an expansion of the capacity of a
     keyring.  Currently, the maximum size of a keyring payload is one page.
     Subtract a small header and then divide up into pointers, that only gives
     you ~500 pointers on an x86_64 box.  However, since the NFS idmapper uses
     a keyring to store ID mapping data, that has proven to be insufficient to
     the cause.

     Whatever data structure I use to handle the keyring payload, it can only
     store pointers to keys, not the keys themselves because several keyrings
     may point to a single key.  This precludes inserting, say, and rb_node
     struct into the key struct for this purpose.

     I could make an rbtree of records such that each record has an rb_node
     and a key pointer, but that would use four words of space per key stored
     in the keyring.  It would, however, be able to use much existing code.

     I selected instead a non-rebalancing radix-tree type approach as that
     could have a better space-used/key-pointer ratio.  I could have used the
     radix tree implementation that we already have and insert keys into it by
     their serial numbers, but that means any sort of search must iterate over
     the whole radix tree.  Further, its nodes are a bit on the capacious side
     for what I want - especially given that key serial numbers are randomly
     allocated, thus leaving a lot of empty space in the tree.

     So what I have is an associative array that internally is a radix-tree
     with 16 pointers per node where the index key is constructed from the key
     type pointer and the key description.  This means that an exact lookup by
     type+description is very fast as this tells us how to navigate directly to
     the target key.

     I made the data structure general in lib/assoc_array.c as far as it is
     concerned, its index key is just a sequence of bits that leads to a
     pointer.  It's possible that someone else will be able to make use of it
     also.  FS-Cache might, for example.

   (2) Mark keys as 'trusted' and keyrings as 'trusted only'.

        KEYS: verify a certificate is signed by a 'trusted' key
        KEYS: Make the system 'trusted' keyring viewable by userspace
        KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flag
        KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing

     These patches allow keys carrying asymmetric public keys to be marked as
     being 'trusted' and allow keyrings to be marked as only permitting the
     addition or linkage of trusted keys.

     Keys loaded from hardware during kernel boot or compiled into the kernel
     during build are marked as being trusted automatically.  New keys can be
     loaded at runtime with add_key().  They are checked against the system
     keyring contents and if their signatures can be validated with keys that
     are already marked trusted, then they are marked trusted also and can
     thus be added into the master keyring.

     Patches from Mimi Zohar make this usable with the IMA keyrings also.

   (3) Remove the date checks on the key used to validate a module signature.

        X.509: Remove certificate date checks

     It's not reasonable to reject a signature just because the key that it was
     generated with is no longer valid datewise - especially if the kernel
     hasn't yet managed to set the system clock when the first module is
     loaded - so just remove those checks.

   (4) Make it simpler to deal with additional X.509 being loaded into the kernel.

        KEYS: Load *.x509 files into kernel keyring
        KEYS: Have make canonicalise the paths of the X.509 certs better to deduplicate

     The builder of the kernel now just places files with the extension ".x509"
     into the kernel source or build trees and they're concatenated by the
     kernel build and stuffed into the appropriate section.

   (5) Add support for userspace kerberos to use keyrings.

        KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches
        KEYS: Implement a big key type that can save to tmpfs

     Fedora went to, by default, storing kerberos tickets and tokens in tmpfs.
     We looked at storing it in keyrings instead as that confers certain
     advantages such as tickets being automatically deleted after a certain
     amount of time and the ability for the kernel to get at these tokens more
     easily.

     To make this work, two things were needed:

     (a) A way for the tickets to persist beyond the lifetime of all a user's
         sessions so that cron-driven processes can still use them.

         The problem is that a user's session keyrings are deleted when the
         session that spawned them logs out and the user's user keyring is
         deleted when the UID is deleted (typically when the last log out
         happens), so neither of these places is suitable.

         I've added a system keyring into which a 'persistent' keyring is
         created for each UID on request.  Each time a user requests their
         persistent keyring, the expiry time on it is set anew.  If the user
         doesn't ask for it for, say, three days, the keyring is automatically
         expired and garbage collected using the existing gc.  All the kerberos
         tokens it held are then also gc'd.

     (b) A key type that can hold really big tickets (up to 1MB in size).

         The problem is that Active Directory can return huge tickets with lots
         of auxiliary data attached.  We don't, however, want to eat up huge
         tracts of unswappable kernel space for this, so if the ticket is
         greater than a certain size, we create a swappable shmem file and dump
         the contents in there and just live with the fact we then have an
         inode and a dentry overhead.  If the ticket is smaller than that, we
         slap it in a kmalloc()'d buffer"

2d3c627502 Revert "init/Kconfig: add option to disable kernel compression"
This reverts commit 69f0554ec2.

This patch breaks randconfig on at least the x86-64 architecture, and
most likely on others.  There is work underway to support uncompressed
kernels in a generic way, but it looks like it will amount to
rewriting the support from scratch; see the LKML thread in the Link:
for info.

Therefore, revert this change and wait for the fix.

69f0554ec2 init/Kconfig: add option to disable kernel compression
Some ARC users say they can boot faster with without kernel compression.
This probably depends on things like the FLASH chip they use etc.

Until now, kernel compression can only be disabled by removing "select
HAVE_<compression>" lines from the architecture Kconfig.  So add the
Kconfig logic to permit disabling of kernel compression.

policy like this into the kernel was a bad idea.  Surprise surprise.
We ran into these problems because it was impossible to launch a
container as a logged in user and run a login daemon inside that container.
This reverts back to the old behavior before this option was added.  The
option will be re-added in a userspace selectable manor such that
userspace can choose when it is and when it is not appropriate.

554b0004d0 vtime: Add HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN Kconfig
With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit. In order
to use that feature, arch code should be audited to ensure there are no
races in concurrent read/write of cputime_t. For example,
reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require
multiple accesses for low and high value parts, so proper locking
is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.

Therefore, add CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which arches can
enable after they've been audited for potential races.

This option is automatically enabled on 64-bit platforms.

Feature requested by Frederic Weisbecker.

11097a0367 modules: do not depend on kconfig to set 'modules' option to symbol MODULES
Currently, the MODULES symbol is special-cased in different places in the
kconfig language. For example, if no symbol is defined to enable tristates,
then kconfig looks up for a symbol named 'MODULES', and forces the 'modules'
option onto that symbol.

This causes problems as such:
  - since MODULES is special-cased, reading the configuration with
    KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG set will forcibly set MODULES to be 'valid' (ie.
    it has a valid value), when no such value was previously set. So
    MODULES defaults to 'n' unless it is present in KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG
  - other third-party projects may decide that 'MODULES' plays a different
    role for them

This has been exposed by cset #cfa98f2e:
    kconfig: do not override symbols already set
and reported by Stephen in:
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-next&m=137592137915234&w=2

As suggested by Sam, we explicitly define the MODULES symbol to be the
tristate-enabler. This will allow us to drop special-casing of MODULES
in the kconfig language, later.

(Note: this patch is not a fix to Stephen's issue, just a first step).

d84d27a491 context_tracking: Remove full dynticks' hacky dependency on wide context tracking
Now that the full dynticks subsystem only enables the context tracking
on full dynticks CPUs, lets remove the dependency on CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE

This dependency was a hack to enable the context tracking widely for the
full dynticks susbsystem until the latter becomes able to enable it in a
more CPU-finegrained fashion.

Now CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE only stands for testing on archs that
work on support for the context tracking while full dynticks can't be
used yet due to unmet dependencies. It simulates a system where all CPUs
are full dynticks so that RCU user extended quiescent states and dynticks
cputime accounting can be tested on the given arch.

4bb1667255 build some drivers only when compile-testing
Some drivers can be built on more platforms than they run on. This is
a burden for users and distributors who package a kernel. They have to
manually deselect some (for them useless) drivers when updating their
configs via oldconfig. And yet, sometimes it is even impossible to
disable the drivers without patching the kernel.

Introduce a new config option COMPILE_TEST and make all those drivers
to depend on the platform they run on, or on the COMPILE_TEST option.
Now, when users/distributors choose COMPILE_TEST=n they will not have
the drivers in their allmodconfig setups, but developers still can
compile-test them with COMPILE_TEST=y.

Now the drivers where we use this new option:
* PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH: The PCH EG20T is only compatible with Intel Atom
  processors so it should depend on x86.
* FB_GEODE: Geode is 32-bit only so only enable it for X86_32.
* USB_CHIPIDEA_IMX: The OF_DEVICE dependency will be met on powerpc
  systems -- which do not actually support the hardware via that
  method.
* INTEL_MID_PTI: It is specific to the Penwell type of Intel Atom
  device.

[v2]
* remove EXPERT dependency

[gregkh - remove chipidea portion, as it's incorrect, and also doesn't

127781d1ba rcu: Remove TINY_PREEMPT_RCU
TINY_PREEMPT_RCU adds significant code and complexity, but does not
offer commensurate benefits.  People currently using TINY_PREEMPT_RCU
can get much better memory footprint with TINY_RCU, or, if they really
need preemptible RCU, they can use TREE_PREEMPT_RCU with a relatively
minor degradation in memory footprint.  Please note that this move
has been widely publicized on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/545)
and on LWN (http://lwn.net/Articles/541037/).

This commit therefore removes TINY_PREEMPT_RCU.

Notice the above call chain.

rcu_start_future_gp() is called with the rnp->lock held. Then it calls
rcu_start_gp_advance, which does a wakeup.

You can't do wakeups while holding the rnp->lock, as that would mean
that you could not do a rcu_read_unlock() while holding the rq lock, or
any lock that was taken while holding the rq lock. This is because...
(See below).

Notice the above trace.

perf took its own ctx->lock, which can be taken while holding the rq
lock. While holding this lock, it did a rcu_read_unlock(). The
perf_lock_task_context() basically looks like:

rcu_read_lock();
raw_spin_lock(ctx->lock);
rcu_read_unlock();

Now, what looks to have happened, is that we scheduled after taking that
first rcu_read_lock() but before taking the spin lock. When we scheduled
back in and took the ctx->lock, the following rcu_read_unlock()
triggered the "special" code.

The rcu_read_unlock_special() takes the rnp->lock, which gives us a
possible deadlock scenario.

534c97b095 Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
  kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
  or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.

  This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
  idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
  reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.

  This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
  the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
  that:

   - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
     to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power.  A periodic timer tick at
     HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%.  This feature
     removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
     typical distro configs even on modern systems.

   - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
     should experience as little jitter as possible.  The last remaining
     source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.

   - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
     especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
     helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.

  The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
  reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
  slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.

  Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
  two NOHZ kconfig modes:

   - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
     as a config option.  This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
     design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
     whether a CPU is idle or not.

   - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
     periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.

   - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
     tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
     timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
     CPU.

  The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
  CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
  user having to configure anything.  CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
  default.

  This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
  steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
  and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.

  This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature.  The pull
  request is marked RFC because:

   - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
     small but did not get ready in time.

   - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
     window.  The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
     merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
     marked it RFC.

   - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
     while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
     combination is still not very widely used.  That it's default-off
     should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
     known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.

   - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
     equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick.  In
     particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
     on scheduler load-balancing and statistics.  This should not impact
     correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
     feature at this point.

   - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
     enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
     its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
     Without flaming us to crisp! :-)

  Future plans:

   - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
     the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
     CPU.  We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
     for the 0 Hz target though.

   - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
     nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
     as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
     once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.

  I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
  v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
  but the final word is up to you as usual.

73c3082877 rcu: Fix full dynticks' dependency on wide RCU nocb mode
Commit 0637e02939
("nohz: Select wide RCU nocb for full dynticks") intended
to force CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y when full dynticks is
enabled.

However this option is part of a choice menu and Kconfig's
"select" instruction has no effect on such targets.

Fix this by using reverse dependencies on the targets we
don't want instead.

657a52095f init/Kconfig: re-order CONFIG_EXPERT options to fix menuconfig display
The kconfig language requires that dependent options all follow the
menuconfig symbol in order to be collapsed below it.  Recently some hidden
options were added below the EXPERT menuconfig, but did not depend on
EXPERT (because hidden options can't).  This broke the display.  So
re-order all these options, and while we're here stick the PCI quirks
under the EXPERT menu (since it isn't sitting with any related options).

Before this commit, we get:
	[*] Configure standard kernel features (expert users)  --->
	[ ] Sysctl syscall support
	[*] Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops
	...
	[ ] Embedded system

Now we get the older (and correct) behavior:
	[*] Configure standard kernel features (expert users)  --->
	[ ] Embedded system
And if you go into the expert menu you get the expert options:
	[ ] Sysctl syscall support
	[*] Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops
	...

c58b0df12a nohz: Select VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN from full dynticks config
Turn the full dynticks passive dependency on VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
to an active one.

The full dynticks Kconfig is currently hidden behind the full dynticks
cputime accounting, which is an awkward and counter-intuitive layout:
the user first has to select the dynticks cputime accounting in order
to make the full dynticks feature to be visible.

We definetly want it the other way around. The usual way to perform
this kind of active dependency is use "select" on the depended target.
Now we can't use the Kconfig "select" instruction when the target is
a "choice".

So this patch inspires on how the RCU subsystem Kconfig interact
with its dependencies on SMP and PREEMPT: we make sure that cputime
accounting can't propose another option than VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
when NO_HZ_FULL is selected by using the right "depends on" instruction
for each cputime accounting choices.

v2: Keep full dynticks cputime accounting available even without
full dynticks, as per Paul McKenney's suggestion.

3451d0243c nohz: Rename CONFIG_NO_HZ to CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON
We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout
into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick
any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick,
idle dynticks, full dynticks.

As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions
need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order
to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure.

It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to
that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code
and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now.
So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ.

On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if
CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to
enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default.

But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into
a circular dependency:

1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select
   CONFIG_NO_HZ
2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE

We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it
may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour.

So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option
which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks
(that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code)
and select it from their referring Kconfig.

Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ
to it for backward compatibility.

c0f4dfd4f9 rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks
Because RCU callbacks are now associated with the number of the grace
period that they must wait for, CPUs can now take advance callbacks
corresponding to grace periods that ended while a given CPU was in
dyntick-idle mode.  This eliminates the need to try forcing the RCU
state machine while entering idle, thus reducing the CPU intensiveness
of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, which should increase its energy efficiency.

a488985851 rcu: Distinguish "rcuo" kthreads by RCU flavor
Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by
the CPU number, for example, "rcuo".  This is problematic given that
there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU
kthread with exactly the same name.  This commit therefore introduces
a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh,
'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched.  This abbreviation is used
to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have
"rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0".

Currently, the only way to specify no-CBs CPUs is via the rcu_nocbs

particularly for randconfig testing, so this commit adds a new set of
kernel configuration parameters.  CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE (the default)
retains the old behavior, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO offloads callback
processing from CPU 0 (along with any other CPUs specified by the
rcu_nocbs boot-time parameter), and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL offloads
callback processing from all CPUs.

34ed62461a rcu: Remove restrictions on no-CBs CPUs
Currently, CPU 0 is constrained to not be a no-CBs CPU, and furthermore
at least one no-CBs CPU must remain online at any given time.  These
restrictions are problematic in some situations, such as cases where
all CPUs must run a real-time workload that needs to be insulated from
OS jitter and latencies due to RCU callback invocation.  This commit
therefore provides no-CBs CPUs a (very crude and energy-inefficient)
way to start and to wait for grace periods independently of the normal
RCU callback mechanisms.  This approach allows any or all of the CPUs to
be designated as no-CBs CPUs, and allows any proper subset of the CPUs
(whether no-CBs CPUs or not) to be offlined.

This commit also provides a fix for a locking bug spotted by Xie
ChanglongX <changlongx.xie@intel.com>.

8b43876643 context_tracking: Enable probes by default for selftesting
Until we provide the nohz_mask boot parameter, keeping
the context tracking probes disabled by default is pointless
since what we want is to runtime test this code anyway.

It's furthermore confusing for the users which don't expect
the probes to be off when they select RCU user mode or full
dynticks cputime accounting.

Let's enable these probes selftests by default for now.

Merge tag 'arc-v3.9-rc1-late' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc

Pull new ARC architecture from Vineet Gupta:
 "Initial ARC Linux port with some fixes on top for 3.9-rc1:

  I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from
  Synopsys) for 3.9-rc1.  The patch-set has been discussed on the public
  lists since Nov and has received a fair bit of review, specially from
  Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...

  The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by
  Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge).

  The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons:

   1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds
      ptrace/kgdb/.. later

   2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
      image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
      record the revision history.

  This updated pull request additionally contains

   - fixes due to our GNU tools catching up with the new syscall/ptrace
     ABI

   - some (minor) cross-arch Kconfig updates."

Pull user namespace and namespace infrastructure changes from Eric W Biederman:
 "This set of changes starts with a few small enhnacements to the user
  namespace.  reboot support, allowing more arbitrary mappings, and
  support for mounting devpts, ramfs, tmpfs, and mqueuefs as just the
  user namespace root.

  I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your
  unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support
  enabled you will need to enable memory control groups.

  There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone
  creates way too many user namespaces.

  The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down
  work through the filesystems.  These changes make using uids and gids
  typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when
  multiple user namespaces are in use.  The filesystems converted for
  3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs.  The
  changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split
  the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes.

  XFS is the only filesystem that remains.  I was hoping I could get
  that in this release so that user namespace support would be enabled
  with an allyesconfig or an allmodconfig but it looks like the xfs
  changes need another couple of days before it they are ready."

the extract macro explicitly.  Read the value with ntohl and
convert it to the appropriate type with make_kuid or make_kgid.
Test if the value is different from what is stored in status and
update changed.   Update the value in status.

In xdr_encode_AFS_StoreStatus call from_kuid or from_kgid as
we are computing the on the wire encoding.

Initialize uids with GLOBAL_ROOT_UID instead of 0.
Initialize gids with GLOBAL_ROOT_GID instead of 0.

* Flush irq works before CPU offlining.

* Introduce "lazy" irq works that can wait for the

9fc52d832b rcu: Allow TREE_PREEMPT_RCU on UP systems
The TINY_PREEMPT_RCU is complex, does not provide that much memory
savings, and therefore TREE_PREEMPT_RCU should be used instead.  The
systems where the difference between TINY_PREEMPT_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU

This commit therefore takes a first step towards eliminating
TINY_PREEMPT_RCU by allowing TREE_PREEMPT_RCU to be configured on !SMP

abf917cd91 cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting
If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
able to account the cputime without using the tick.

Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
hooking into kernel/user boundaries.

However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
outside idle.

This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.

There are some upsides of doing this:

- This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
tickless mode).

- We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
(de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.

And one downside:

- There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

already changed the actual default value, but the help-text still
suggested 'y'. Fix the help text too, for all the same reasons.

Sadly, -Os keeps on generating some very suboptimal code for certain
cases, to the point where any I$ miss upside is swamped by the downside.
The main ones are:

 - using "rep movsb" for memcpy, even on CPU's where that is
   horrendously bad for performance.

 - not honoring branch prediction information, so any I$ footprint you
   win from smaller code, you lose from less code density in the I$.

 - using divide instructions when that is very expensive.

during the Linux kernel summit, it should be removed. As a first step,
remove it from being listed, and default it to on. Once it has been
removed from all subsystem Kconfigs, it will be dropped entirely.

For items that really are experimental, maintainers should use "default
n", optionally include "(EXPERIMENTAL)" in the title, and add language to
the help text indicating why the item should be considered experimental.

For items that are dangerously experimental, the maintainer is encouraged
to follow the above title recommendation, add stronger language to the
help text, and optionally use (depending on the extent of the danger,
from least to most dangerous): printk(), add_taint(TAINT_WARN),
add_taint(TAINT_CRAP), WARN_ON(1), and CONFIG_BROKEN.

d7f25f8a2f memcg: infrastructure to match an allocation to the right cache
The page allocator is able to bind a page to a memcg when it is
allocated.  But for the caches, we'd like to have as many objects as
possible in a page belonging to the same cache.

This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the
beginning of every allocation function.  This function is patched out by
static branches when kernel memory controller is not being used.

It assumes that the task allocating, which determines the memcg in the
page allocator, belongs to the same cgroup throughout the whole process.
Misaccounting can happen if the task calls memcg_kmem_get_cache() while
belonging to a cgroup, and later on changes.  This is considered
acceptable, and should only happen upon task migration.

Before the cache is created by the memcg core, there is also a possible
imbalance: the task belongs to a memcg, but the cache being allocated from
is the global cache, since the child cache is not yet guaranteed to be
ready.  This case is also fine, since in this case the GFP_KMEMCG will not
be passed and the page allocator will not attempt any cgroup accounting.

510fc4e11b memcg: kmem accounting basic infrastructure
Add the basic infrastructure for the accounting of kernel memory.  To
control that, the following files are created:

 * memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes
 * memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
 * memory.kmem.failcnt
 * memory.kmem.max_usage_in_bytes

They have the same meaning of their user memory counterparts.  They
reflect the state of the "kmem" res_counter.

Per cgroup kmem memory accounting is not enabled until a limit is set for
the group.  Once the limit is set the accounting cannot be disabled for
that group.  This means that after the patch is applied, no behavioral
changes exists for whoever is still using memcg to control their memory
usage, until memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes is set for the first time.

We always account to both user and kernel resource_counters.  This
effectively means that an independent kernel limit is in place when the
limit is set to a lower value than the user memory.  A equal or higher
value means that the user limit will always hit first, meaning that kmem
is effectively unlimited.

People who want to track kernel memory but not limit it, can set this
limit to a very high number (like RESOURCE_MAX - 1page - that no one will
ever hit, or equal to the user memory)

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
 "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
  containers in general and user namespaces in particular.  The user
  space interface is now complete.

  This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
  namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
  The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
  using cool new kernel features is broken.

  This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
  the pid, user, mount namespaces.

  This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
  cleanups/simplifications.  Of particular significance is the rework of
  the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
  tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation.  At
  least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
  to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
  ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
  currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
  checks are always applied.

  The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
  so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
  namespaces.

  Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
  permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
  namespace root to usefully use the networking stack.  Similar changes
  for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
  tree.

  Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
  in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

  Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
  ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
  Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
  being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

  Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
  user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
 "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
  (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
  autonuma which is in aa.git.

  In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
  its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
  scheduling.  In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
  desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
  scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.

  The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are

    mel:    https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
    mingo:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331

    srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397

  The results are a mixed bag.  In my own tests, balancenuma does
  reasonably well.  It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
  mainline.  On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
  incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
  but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts.  Thomas'
  results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
  numacore or autonuma.  Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
  large machine with imbalanced node sizes.

  My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
  dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
  We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
  migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
  There are also cases where it regresses.  Of interest is that for
  specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
  warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
  the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports.  Recently I
  reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with

  numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.

1a687c2e9a mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing
This patch adds Kconfig options and kernel parameters to allow the
enabling and disabling of automatic NUMA balancing. The existance
of such a switch was and is very important when debugging problems
related to transparent hugepages and we should have the same for
automatic NUMA placement.

be3a728427 mm: numa: pte_numa() and pmd_numa()
Implement pte_numa and pmd_numa.

We must atomically set the numa bit and clear the present bit to
define a pte_numa or pmd_numa.

Once a pte or pmd has been set as pte_numa or pmd_numa, the next time
a thread touches a virtual address in the corresponding virtual range,
a NUMA hinting page fault will trigger. The NUMA hinting page fault
will clear the NUMA bit and set the present bit again to resolve the
page fault.

The expectation is that a NUMA hinting page fault is used as part
of a placement policy that decides if a page should remain on the
current node or migrated to a different node.

91d1aa43d3 context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem
Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.

This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.

We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

74876a98a8 printk: Wake up klogd using irq_work
klogd is woken up asynchronously from the tick in order
to do it safely.

However if printk is called when the tick is stopped, the reader
won't be woken up until the next interrupt, which might not fire
for a while. As a result, the user may miss some message.

To fix this, lets implement the printk tick using a lazy irq work.
This subsystem takes care of the timer tick state and can
fix up accordingly.

6147a9d807 irq_work: Remove CONFIG_HAVE_IRQ_WORK
irq work can run on any arch even without IPI
support because of the hook on update_process_times().

So lets remove HAVE_IRQ_WORK because it doesn't reflect
any backend requirement.

3fbfbf7a3b rcu: Add callback-free CPUs
RCU callback execution can add significant OS jitter and also can
degrade both scheduling latency and, in asymmetric multiprocessors,
energy efficiency.  This commit therefore adds the ability for selected
CPUs ("rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter) to have their callbacks offloaded
to kthreads.  If the "rcu_nocb_poll" boot parameter is also specified,
these kthreads will do polling, removing the need for the offloaded
CPUs to do wakeups.  At least one CPU must be doing normal callback
processing: currently CPU 0 cannot be selected as a no-CBs CPU.
In addition, attempts to offline the last normal-CBs CPU will fail.

This feature was inspired by Jim Houston's and Joe Korty's JRCU, and
this commit includes fixes to problems located by Fengguang Wu's
kbuild test robot.

[ paulmck: Added gfp.h include file as suggested by Fengguang Wu. ]
