Oleg Nesterov pointed out we have to prevent multiple-threads-inside-exec
itself and we can reuse ->cred_guard_mutex for it. Yes, concurrent
execve() has no worth.
Let's move ->cred_guard_mutex from task_struct to signal_struct. It
naturally prevent multiple-threads-inside-exec.

lock_task_sighand() grabs sighand->siglock in case of returning non-NULL
but unlock_task_sighand() releases it unconditionally. This leads sparse
to complain about the lock context imbalance. Rename and wrap
lock_task_sighand() using __cond_lock() macro to make sparse happy.

Fix up the arguments to arch_ptrace() to take account of the fact that
@addr and @data are now unsigned long rather than long as of a preceding

Since userspace API of ptrace syscall defines @addr and @data as void
pointers, it would be more appropriate to define them as unsigned long in
kernel. Therefore related functions are changed also.
'unsigned long' is typically used in other places in kernel as an opaque
data type and that using this helps cleaning up a lot of warnings from
sparse.

The ns_cgroup is a control group interacting with the namespaces. When a
new namespace is created, a corresponding cgroup is automatically created
too. The cgroup name is the pid of the process who did 'unshare' or the
child of 'clone'.
This cgroup is tied with the namespace because it prevents a process to
escape the control group and use the post_clone callback, so the child
cgroup inherits the values of the parent cgroup.
Unfortunately, the more we use this cgroup and the more we are facing
problems with it:
(1) when a process unshares, the cgroup name may conflict with a
previous cgroup with the same pid, so unshare or clone return -EEXIST
(2) the cgroup creation is out of control because there may have an
application creating several namespaces where the system will
automatically create several cgroups in his back and let them on the
cgroupfs (eg. a vrf based on the network namespace).
(3) the mix of (1) and (2) force an administrator to regularly check
and clean these cgroups.
This patchset removes the ns_cgroup by adding a new flag to the cgroup and
the cgroupfs mount option. It enables the copy of the parent cgroup when
a child cgroup is created. We can then safely remove the ns_cgroup as
this flag brings a compatibility. We have now to manually create and add
the task to a cgroup, which is consistent with the cgroup framework.
This patch:
Sent as an answer to a previous thread around the ns_cgroup.
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018627.html
It adds a control file 'clone_children' for a cgroup. This control file
is a boolean specifying if the child cgroup should be a clone of the
parent cgroup or not. The default value is 'false'.
This flag makes the child cgroup to call the post_clone callback of all
the subsystem, if it is available.
At present, the cpuset is the only one which had implemented the
post_clone callback.
The option can be set at mount time by specifying the 'clone_children'
mount option.

fb_{read,write} access the framebuffer using lots of fb_{read,write}l's
but don't check that the file position is aligned which can cause problems
on some architectures which do not support unaligned accesses.
Since the operations are essentially memcpy_{from,to}io, new
fb_memcpy_{from,to}fb macros have been defined and these are used instead.
For Sparc, fb_{read,write} macros use sbus_{read,write}, so this defines
new sbus_memcpy_{from,to}io functions the same as memcpy_{from,to}io but
using sbus_{read,write}b instead of {read,write}b.

The basic GPIO controllers may be found in various on-board FPGA and ASIC
solutions that are used to control board's switches, LEDs, chip-selects,
Ethernet/USB PHY power, etc.
These controllers may not provide any means of pin setup
(in/out/open drain).
The driver supports:
- 8/16/32/64 bits registers;
- GPIO controllers with clear/set registers;
- GPIO controllers with a single "data" register;
- Big endian bits/GPIOs ordering (mostly used on PowerPC).

Christoph reported a nice splat which illustrated a race in the new stack
based kmap_atomic implementation.
The problem is that we pop our stack slot before we're completely done
resetting its state -- in particular clearing the PTE (sometimes that's
CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM). If an interrupt happens before we actually clear
the PTE used for the last slot, that interrupt can reuse the slot in a
dirty state, which triggers a BUG in kmap_atomic().
Fix this by introducing kmap_atomic_idx() which reports the current slot
index without actually releasing it and use that to find the PTE and delay
the _pop() until after we're completely done.

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing
a 32bit value :
<quote>
We were seeing a failure which prevented boot. The kernel was incapable
of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket. This comes down
to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does:
atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks);
if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files())
goto out;
The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files.
files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in
fs/file_table.c's files_init().
n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10;
files_stat.max_files = n;
In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384
(0xe0000000). That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553.
This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow.
</quote>
Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long
integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of atomic_t.
get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long. get_nr_files() is
changed to return a long.
unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not
strictly needed to address Robin problem.
Before patch (on a 64bit kernel) :
# echo 2147483648 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
-18446744071562067968

The new init ramfs format (cpio based) requires an alignment of 4 (per the
documentation and per the source files themselves). As for compressed
sources, the decompressors can all deal with unaligned buffers.
The cpio source is also found in the __init sections of the kernel, so
once they are read and expanded into a tmpfs, the source is freed. That
means there is no need to force page alignment here either.
This has been used on Blackfin systems for many releases without issue.

With the recent change "net: remove time limit in process_backlog()", the
softnet_data variable changed from "DEFINE_PER_CPU()" to
"DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED()" which moved it from the .data section to the
.data.shared_align section. I'm not saying this patch is wrong, just that
is what caused me to notice this larger problem. No one else in the
kernel is using this aligned macro variant, so I imagine that's why no one
has noticed yet.
Since .data..shared_align isn't declared in any vmlinux files that I can
see, the linker just places it last. This "just works" for most people,
but when building a ROM kernel on Blackfin systems, it causes section
overlap errors:
bfin-uclinux-ld.real:
section .init.data [00000000202e06b8 -> 00000000202e48b7] overlaps
section .data.shared_aligned [00000000202e06b8 -> 00000000202e0723]
I imagine other arches which support the ROM config option and thus do
funky placement would see similar issues ...
On x86, it is stuck in a dedicated section at the end:
[8] .data PROGBITS ffffffff810ec000 2ec0000303a8 00 WA 0 0 4096
[9] .data.shared_alig PROGBITS ffffffff8111c3c0 31c3c00000c8 00 WA 0 0 64
So make sure we include this section in the DATA_DATA macro so that it is
placed in the right location.

This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for
disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs.
It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call
site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer.
In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and
do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault.
It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be
cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time.
Tests:
- microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses
to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does
mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s
before, 15000 iterations/s after.
- We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show
significant performance regressions when running without this change.

Under slub the objects in the anon_vma kmem_cache will then be 40 bytes

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.
The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:
#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \
in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
KM_PTE0)
and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.
The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.
For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:
#define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone
If congestion_wait() is called with no BDI congested, the caller will
sleep for the full timeout and this may be an unnecessary sleep. This
patch adds a wait_iff_congested() that checks congestion and only sleeps
if a BDI is congested else, it calls cond_resched() to ensure the caller
is not hogging the CPU longer than its quota but otherwise will not sleep.
This is aimed at reducing some of the major desktop stalls reported during
IO. For example, while kswapd is operating, it calls congestion_wait()
but it could just have been reclaiming clean page cache pages with no
congestion. Without this patch, it would sleep for a full timeout but
after this patch, it'll just call schedule() if it has been on the CPU too
long. Similar logic applies to direct reclaimers that are not making
enough progress.

shrink_page_list() can decide to give up reclaiming a page under a
number of conditions such as
1. trylock_page() failure
2. page is unevictable
3. zone reclaim and page is mapped
4. PageWriteback() is true
5. page is swapbacked and swap is full
6. add_to_swap() failure
7. page is dirty and gfpmask don't have GFP_IO, GFP_FS
8. page is pinned
9. IO queue is congested
10. pageout() start IO, but not finished
With lumpy reclaim, failures result in entering synchronous lumpy reclaim
but this can be unnecessary. In cases (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (8),
there is no point retrying. This patch causes lumpy reclaim to abort when
it is known it will fail.
Case (9) is more interesting. current behavior is,
1. start shrink_page_list(async)
2. found queue_congested()
3. skip pageout write
4. still start shrink_page_list(sync)
5. wait on a lot of pages
6. again, found queue_congested()
7. give up pageout write again
So, it's useless time wasting. However, just skipping page reclaim is
also notgood as x86 allocating a huge page needs 512 pages for example.
It can have more dirty pages than queue congestion threshold (~=128).
After this patch, pageout() behaves as follows;
- If order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
Ignore queue congestion always.
- If order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
skip write page and disable lumpy reclaim.

There have been numerous reports of stalls that pointed at the problem
being somewhere in the VM. There are multiple roots to the problems which
means dealing with any of the root problems in isolation is tricky to
justify on their own and they would still need integration testing. This
patch series puts together two different patch sets which in combination
should tackle some of the root causes of latency problems being reported.
Patch 1 adds a tracepoint for shrink_inactive_list. For this series, the
most important results is being able to calculate the scanning/reclaim
ratio as a measure of the amount of work being done by page reclaim.
Patch 2 accounts for time spent in congestion_wait.
Patches 3-6 were originally developed by Kosaki Motohiro but reworked for
this series. It has been noted that lumpy reclaim is far too aggressive
and trashes the system somewhat. As SLUB uses high-order allocations, a
large cost incurred by lumpy reclaim will be noticeable. It was also
reported during transparent hugepage support testing that lumpy reclaim
was trashing the system and these patches should mitigate that problem
without disabling lumpy reclaim.
Patch 7 adds wait_iff_congested() and replaces some callers of
congestion_wait(). wait_iff_congested() only sleeps if there is a BDI
that is currently congested. Patch 8 notes that any BDI being congested
is not necessarily a problem because there could be multiple BDIs of
varying speeds and numberous zones. It attempts to track when a zone
being reclaimed contains many pages backed by a congested BDI and if so,
reclaimers wait on the congestion queue.
I ran a number of tests with monitoring on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Each
machine had 3G of RAM and the CPUs were
X86: Intel P4 2-core
X86-64: AMD Phenom 4-core
PPC64: PPC970MP
Each used a single disk and the onboard IO controller. Dirty ratio was
left at 20. I'm just going to report for X86-64 and PPC64 in a vague
attempt to keep this report short. Four kernels were tested each based on
v2.6.36-rc4
traceonly-v2r2: Patches 1 and 2 to instrument vmscan reclaims and congestion_wait
lowlumpy-v2r3: Patches 1-6 to test if lumpy reclaim is better

micro-mapped-file-stream
This is a micro-benchmark from Johannes Weiner that accesses a
large sparse-file through mmap(). It was configured to run in only
single-CPU mode but can be indicative of how well page reclaim
identifies suitable pages.
stress-highalloc
Tries to allocate huge pages under heavy load.
kernbench, iozone and sysbench did not report any performance regression
on any machine. sysbench did pressure the system lightly and there was
reclaim activity but there were no difference of major interest between
the kernels.

These are based on the raw figures taken from /proc/vmstat. It's a rough
measure of reclaim activity. Note that allocstall counts are higher
because we are entering direct reclaim more often as a result of not
sleeping in congestion. In itself, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's easier to get a view of what happened from the vmscan tracepoint
report.

What is interesting here for nocongest in particular is that while direct
reclaim scans more pages, the overall number of pages scanned remains the
same and the ratio of pages scanned to pages reclaimed is more or less the
same. In other words, while we are sleeping less, reclaim is not doing
more work and as direct reclaim and kswapd is awake for less time, it
would appear to be doing less work.

Overall, the tests completed faster. It is interesting to note that backing off further
when a zone is congested and not just a BDI was more efficient overall.

Again, a similar trend that the congestion_wait changes mean that direct
reclaim scans more pages but the overall number of pages scanned while
slightly reduced, are very similar. The ratio of scanning/reclaimed
remains roughly similar. The downside is that kswapd and direct reclaim
was awake longer and for a larger percentage of the overall workload.
It's possible there were big differences in the amount of time spent
reclaiming slab pages between the different kernels which is plausible
considering that the micro tests runs after fsmark and sysbench.

Scanned/reclaimed ratios again look good with big improvements in
efficiency. The Scanned/written ratios also look much improved. With a
better scanned/written ration, there is an expectation that IO would be
more efficient and indeed, the time spent in direct reclaim is much
reduced by the full series and kswapd spends a little less time awake.
Overall, indications here are that allocations were happening much faster
and this can be seen with a graph of the latency figures as the
allocations were taking place

Overall, the time spent speeping is reduced. kswapd is still hitting
congestion_wait() but that is because there are callers remaining where it
wasn't clear in advance if they should be changed to wait_iff_congested()
or not. Overall the sleep imes are reduced though - from 79ish seconds to
about 19.

Success rates there are *way* up particularly considering that the 16MB
huge pages on PPC64 mean that it's always much harder to allocate them.

reclaim and with kswapd are massively reduced, mostly by the lowlumpy
patches.

The time to complete this test goes way down. With the full series, we
are allocating over twice the number of huge pages in 30% of the time and
there is a corresponding impact on the allocation latency graph available
at.

This patch:
Add a trace event for shrink_inactive_list() and updates the sample
postprocessing script appropriately. It can be used to determine how many
pages were reclaimed and for non-lumpy reclaim where exactly the pages
were reclaimed from.
