8695159967 sched: silence PROVE_RCU in sched_fork()
Because cgroup_fork() is ran before sched_fork() [ from copy_process() ]
and the child's pid is not yet visible the child is pinned to its
cgroup. Therefore we can silence this warning.

A nicer solution would be moving cgroup_fork() to right after
dup_task_struct() and exclude PF_STARTING from task_subsys_state().

f3b577dec1 rcu: apply RCU protection to wake_affine()
The task_group() function returns a pointer that must be protected
by either RCU, the ->alloc_lock, or the cgroup lock (see the
rcu_dereference_check() in task_subsys_state(), which is invoked by
task_group()).  The wake_affine() function currently does none of these,
which means that a concurrent update would be within its rights to free
the structure returned by task_group().  Because wake_affine() uses this
structure only to compute load-balancing heuristics, there is no reason
to acquire either of the two locks.

Therefore, this commit introduces an RCU read-side critical section that
starts before the first call to task_group() and ends after the last use
of the "tg" pointer returned from task_group().  Thanks to Li Zefan for
pointing out the need to extend the RCU read-side critical section from
that proposed by the original patch.

f6ab91add6 perf: Fix signed comparison in perf_adjust_period()
Frederic reported that frequency driven swevents didn't work properly
and even caused a division-by-zero error.

It turns out there are two bugs, the division-by-zero comes from a
failure to deal with that in perf_calculate_period().

The other was more interesting and turned out to be a wrong comparison
in perf_adjust_period(). The comparison was between an s64 and u64 and
got implicitly converted to an unsigned comparison. The problem is
that period_left is typically < 0, so it ended up being always true.

Cure this by making the local period variables s64.

9bea7f2395 module: fix bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c"
Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a
request_module these days.  And it's not clear it's always a bad idea:
for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel
or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right
one.

In this particular case, it's libcrc32c:

	libcrc32c_mod_init
	 crypto_alloc_shash
	  crypto_alloc_tfm
	   crypto_find_alg
	    crypto_alg_mod_lookup
	     crypto_larval_lookup
	      request_module

If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to
finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so
holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress
until that is released.

Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard:
we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep
where we don't hold the lock.  Error reporting is a bit trickier: we
need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the
lock.

Other notes:
1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow
   symbol version mismatches to be ignored.
2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only
   external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

be593f4ce4 module: verify_export_symbols under the lock
It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module
slipping in before this module is added to the global list now we don't
hold the lock the whole time.

So we check this just after we check for duplicate modules, and just
before we put the module in the global list.

(find_symbol finds symbols in coming and going modules, too).

3bafeb6247 module: move find_module check to end
I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and
didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like
PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed
("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't
hold it at all when it did the find_module()).

Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able
to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a
bit.

In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit
later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then
just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before
adding ourselves to the list.

This is more ambitious: we only grab the lock where we need it.

2c02dfe7fe module: Make the 'usage' lists be two-way
When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a
one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could
see who needs a module.

It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we
not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are
"used by me".

In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we
unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are
used by that module.  But because we didn't have that list, we used to
first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me"
list of that module.

By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it
allows for some trivial fixes later too.

94b3dd0f7b cgroups: alloc_css_id() increments hierarchy depth
Child groups should have a greater depth than their parents.  Prior to
this change, the parent would incorrectly report zero memory usage for
child cgroups when use_hierarchy is enabled.

test script:
  mount -t cgroup none /cgroups -o memory
  cd /cgroups
  mkdir cg1

  echo 1 > cg1/memory.use_hierarchy
  mkdir cg1/cg11

  echo $$ > cg1/cg11/tasks
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1

  echo
  echo CHILD
  grep cache cg1/cg11/memory.stat

  echo
  echo PARENT
  grep cache cg1/memory.stat

  echo $$ > tasks
  rmdir cg1/cg11 cg1
  cd /
  umount /cgroups

Using fae9c79, a recent patch that changed alloc_css_id() depth computation,
the parent incorrectly reports zero usage:
  root@ubuntu:~# ./test
  1+0 records in
  1+0 records out
  1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0151844 s, 69.1 MB/s

With this patch, the parent correctly includes child usage:
  root@ubuntu:~# ./test

  1+0 records out
  1048576 bytes (1.0 MB) copied, 0.0136827 s, 76.6 MB/s

485d527686 sys_personality: change sys_personality() to accept "unsigned int" instead of u_long
task_struct->pesonality is "unsigned int", but sys_personality() paths use
"unsigned long pesonality".  This means that every assignment or
comparison is not right.  In particular, if this argument does not fit
into "unsigned int" __set_personality() changes the caller's personality
and then sys_personality() returns -EINVAL.

Turn this argument into "unsigned int" and avoid overflows.  Obviously,
this is the user-visible change, we just ignore the upper bits.  But this
can't break the sane application.

There is another thing which can confuse the poorly written applications.
User-space thinks that this syscall returns int, not long.  This means
that the returned value can be negative and look like the error code.  But
note that libc won't be confused and thus errno won't be set, and with
this patch the user-space can never get -1 unless sys_personality() really
fails.  And, most importantly, the negative RET != -1 is only possible if
that app previously called personality(RET).

c6df8d5ab8 perf: Fix crash in swevents
Frederic reported that because swevents handling doesn't disable IRQs
anymore, we can get a recursion of perf_adjust_period(), once from

If both call ->disable, we get a double hlist_del_rcu() and trigger
a LIST_POISON2 dereference.

Since we don't actually need to stop/start a swevent to re-programm
the hardware (lack of hardware to program), simply nop out these
callbacks for the swevent pmu.

Since nobody should be using se->weight for RT tasks, set the value to
zero. Also, since we now use ->cpu_power to normalize rq weights to
account for RT cpu usage, add that factor into the imbalance computation.

90151c35b1 perf_events: Fix event scheduling issues introduced by transactional API
The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific
code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at
least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog,  and were
over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was
showing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more
often that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though
harder to expose.

The issues were:

 - group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path

 - cpuc->n_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing
   actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot
   update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In
   case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back.

 - in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called
   and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg.
   But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch
   HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you
   could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which
   did not correspond to the current event when idx != -1.

The patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems.

First, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the
transaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is
necessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all
event updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events.

Second, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in
group_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations
symmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction
and skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc->group_flag.

With this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned
system-wide events present and still get valid counts.

8a49542c05 perf_events: Fix races in group composition
Group siblings don't pin each-other or the parent, so when we destroy
events we must make sure to clean up all cross referencing pointers.

In particular, for destruction of a group leader we must be able to
find all its siblings and remove their reference to it.

This means that detaching an event from its context must not detach it
from the group, otherwise we can end up failing to clear all pointers.

Solve this by clearly separating the attachment to a context and
attachment to a group, and keep the group composed until we destroy
the events.

54e88fad22 sched: Make sure timers have migrated before killing the migration_thread
Problem: In a stress test where some heavy tests were running along with
regular CPU offlining and onlining, a hang was observed. The system seems
to be hung at a point where migration_call() tries to kill the
migration_thread of the dying CPU, which just got moved to the current
CPU. This migration thread does not get a chance to run (and die) since
rt_throttled is set to 1 on current, and it doesn't get cleared as the
hrtimer which is supposed to reset the rt bandwidth
(sched_rt_period_timer) is tied to the CPU which we just marked dead!

Solution: This patch pushes the killing of migration thread to
"CPU_POST_DEAD" event. By then all the timers (including
sched_rt_period_timer) should have got migrated (along with other
callbacks).

5b530fc183 panic: call console_verbose() in panic
Most distros turn the console verbosity down and that means a backtrace
after a panic never makes it to the console.  I assume we haven't seen
this because a panic is often preceeded by an oops which will have called
console_verbose.  There are however a lot of places we call panic
directly, and they are broken.

Use console_verbose like we do in the oops path to ensure a directly
called panic will print a backtrace.

f106eee100 pids: fix fork_idle() to setup ->pids correctly
copy_process(pid => &init_struct_pid) doesn't do attach_pid/etc.

It shouldn't, but this means that the idle threads run with the wrong
pids copied from the caller's task_struct. In x86 case the caller is
either kernel_init() thread or keventd.

In particular, this means that after the series of cpu_up/cpu_down an
idle thread (which never exits) can run with .pid pointing to nowhere.

Change fork_idle() to initialize idle->pids[] correctly. We only set
.pid = &init_struct_pid but do not add .node to list, INIT_TASK() does
the same for the boot-cpu idle thread (swapper).

72680a191b pids: increase pid_max based on num_possible_cpus
On a system with a substantial number of processors, the early default
pid_max of 32k will not be enough.  A system with 1664 CPU's, there are
25163 processes started before the login prompt.  It's estimated that with
2048 CPU's we will pass the 32k limit.  With 4096, we'll reach that limit
very early during the boot cycle, and processes would stall waiting for an
available pid.

This patch increases the early maximum number of pids available, and
increases the minimum number of pids that can be set during runtime.
