Allocating a file structure in function get_empty_filp() might fail because
of several reasons:
- not enough memory for file structures
- operation is not allowed
- user is over its limit
Currently the function returns NULL in all cases and we loose the exact
reason of the error. All callers of get_empty_filp() assume that the function
can fail with ENFILE only.
Return error through pointer. Change all callers to preserve this error code.
[AV: cleaned up a bit, carved the get_empty_filp() part out into a separate commit
(things remaining here deal with alloc_file()), removed pipe(2) behaviour change]

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
"All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that
stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.
A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():
kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.
kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.
As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.
- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.
- sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
kernel/fork.c now."

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change affects group scheduling: we now track the runnable
average on a per-task entity basis, allowing a smoother, exponential
decay average based load/weight estimation instead of the previous
binary on-the-runqueue/off-the-runqueue load weight method.
This will inevitably disturb workloads that were in some sort of
borderline balancing state or unstable equilibrium, so an eye has to
be kept on regressions.
For that reason the new load average is only limited to group
scheduling (shares distribution) at the moment (which was also hurting
the most from the prior, crude weight calculation and whose scheduling
quality wins most from this change) - but we plan to extend this to
regular SMP balancing as well in the future, which will simplify and
speed up things a bit.
Other changes involve ongoing preparatory work to extend NOHZ to the
scheduler as well, eventually allowing completely irq-free user-space
execution."

System time accounting APIs such as vtime_account_system() and
vtime_account_idle() need to be irqsafe. Current callers include
irq entry, exit and kvm, all of which have been checked against that
requirement. Now it's better to grow that with an automatic check
in case we have further callers or we missed something.

On ia64 and powerpc, vtime context switch only consists
in flushing system and user pending time, plus a few
arch housekeeping.
Consolidate that into a generic implementation. s390 is
a special case because pending user and system time accounting
there is hard to dissociate. So it's keeping its own implementation.

Prepending irq-unsafe vtime APIs with underscores was actually
a bad idea as the result is a big mess in the API namespace that
is even waiting to be further extended. Also these helpers
are always called from irq safe callers except kvm. Just
provide a vtime_account_system_irqsafe() for this specific
case so that we can remove the underscore prefix on other
vtime functions.

vtime_account_system() currently has only one caller with

Now we are going to call it from other places like kvm where

So let's make it irqsafe. The arch implementation part is now
prefixed with "__".
vtime_account_idle() arch implementation is prefixed accordingly
to stay consistent.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,

3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c
(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).
A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.
- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).
- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.
- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.
- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."
Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of
/proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket)

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.
The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.
The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.
Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.
Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.
While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.
Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.
After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."
Fix up some fairly trivial conflicts in netfilter uid/git logging code.

Move the code that finds out to which context we account the
cputime into generic layer.
Archs that consider the whole time spent in the idle task as idle
time (ia64, powerpc) can rely on the generic vtime_account()
and implement vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle(),
letting the generic code to decide when to call which API.
Archs that have their own meaning of idle time, such as s390
that only considers the time spent in CPU low power mode as idle
time, can just override vtime_account().

Use a naming based on vtime as a prefix for virtual based
cputime accounting APIs:
- account_system_vtime() -> vtime_account()
- account_switch_vtime() -> vtime_task_switch()
It makes it easier to allow for further declension such
as vtime_account_system(), vtime_account_idle(), ... if we
want to find out the context we account to from generic code.
This also make it better to know on which subsystem these APIs
refer to.

Traditionally, the entire idle task served as an RCU quiescent state.
But when RCU read side critical sections started appearing within the
idle loop, this traditional strategy became untenable. The fix was to
create new RCU APIs named rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), which
must be called by each architecture's idle loop so that RCU can tell
when it is safe to ignore a given idle CPU.
Unfortunately, this fix was never applied to ia64, a shortcoming remedied
by this commit.

The archs that implement virtual cputime accounting all
flush the cputime of a task when it gets descheduled
and sometimes set up some ground initialization for the
next task to account its cputime.
These archs all put their own hooks in their context
switch callbacks and handle the off-case themselves.
Consolidate this by creating a new account_switch_vtime()
callback called in generic code right after a context switch
and that these archs must implement to flush the prev task
cputime and initialize the next task cputime related state.
