Some devices, like md, may create partitions only at first access,
so allow root= to be set to a valid non-existant partition of an
existing disk. This applies only to non-initramfs root mounting.
This fixes a regression from 2.6.24 which did allow this to happen and
broke some users machines :(

Linus found a logic bug: we ignore the version number in a module's
vermagic string if we have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set, but modversions
also lets through a module with no __versions section for modprobe
--force (with tainting, but still).
We should only ignore the start of the vermagic string if the module
actually *has* crcs to check. Rather than (say) having an
entertaining hissy fit and creating a config option to work around the
buggy code.

this replaces the rq->clock stuff (and possibly cpu_clock()).
- architectures that have an 'imperfect' hardware clock can set
CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
- the 'jiffie' window might be superfulous when we update tick_gtod
before the __update_sched_clock() call in sched_clock_tick()
- cpu_clock() might be implemented as:
sched_clock_cpu(smp_processor_id())
if the accuracy proves good enough - how far can TSC drift in a
single jiffie when considering the filtering and idle hooks?

The kernel module loader used to be much too happy to allow loading of
modules for the wrong kernel version by default. For example, if you
had MODVERSIONS enabled, but tried to load a module with no version
info, it would happily load it and taint the kernel - whether it was
likely to actually work or not!
Generally, such forced module loading should be considered a really
really bad idea, so make it conditional on a new config option
(MODULE_FORCE_LOAD), and make it default to off.
If somebody really wants to force module loads, that's their problem,
but we should not encourage it. Especially as it happened to me by
mistake (ie regular unversioned Fedora modules getting loaded) causing
lots of strange behavior.

We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the
kernel:
1) freeing of active objects
2) reinitialization of active objects
Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where
we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are
kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt
context and usually causes the machine to panic.
While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code
into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This
debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due
to the intrusiveness into the timer code.
The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause
instantly and keep the system operational.
Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug
information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special
knowledge of the bug reporter.
The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to
expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive,
but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.
Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a
generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code
and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.
The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic
objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on
object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is
freed.
The tracked object operations are:
- initializing an object
- adding an object to a subsystem list
- deleting an object from a subsystem list
Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the
subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent
the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message
and a stack trace is printed.
The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's
limited to the requirements of the first user (timers).
The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is
generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check
on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a
global lock.
The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead
is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line
option enables the debugging code.

There are some places that are known to operate on tasks'
global pids only:
* the rest_init() call (called on boot)
* the kgdb's getthread
* the create_kthread() (since the kthread is run in init ns)
So use the find_task_by_pid_ns(..., &init_pid_ns) there
and schedule the find_task_by_pid for removal.

The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal
signals.
- The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver()
protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal
signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread.
If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not
right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader),
this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have.
- Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this
is just wrong.
Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems. It also helps
to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches.
Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used
by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits.

Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.
This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.
A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.
This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.
I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.
This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.
After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device
files. A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup.
A whitelist entry has 4 fields. 'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block).
'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major
and minor are either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r
(read), w (write), and m (mknod).
The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child devcg gets a copy of
the parent. Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new
entries. A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its
parent. However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not
also be removed from the child(ren).
An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using
devices.deny. For instance
echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow
allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as
/dev/null. Doing
echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny
will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new
cgroup. A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent
has. Any task can move itself between cgroups. This won't be sufficient, but
we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.

The per node counters are used mainly for showing data through the sysfs API.
If that API is not compiled in then there is no point in keeping track of this
data. Disable counters for the number of slabs and the number of total slabs
if !SLUB_DEBUG. Incrementing the per node counters is also accessing a
potentially contended cacheline so this could actually be a performance
benefit to embedded systems.
SLABINFO support is also affected. It now must depends on SLUB_DEBUG (which
is on by default).
Patch also avoids a check for a NULL kmem_cache_node pointer in new_slab()
if the system is not compiled with NUMA support.

This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9adf8ee89e5c96a47222915c5485ac437
("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply
isn't ready.
It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image
early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole
approach. The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this
early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this
shouldn't be done at all.
For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this
concept later if necessary.

The original preemptible-RCU patch put the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU into kernel/Kconfig.preempt, which resulted in build failures
on machines not supporting CONFIG_PREEMPT. This choice was therefore moved to
init/Kconfig, which worked, but placed the choice between classic and
preemptible RCU at the top level, a very obtuse choice indeed.
This patch changes from the Kconfig "choice" mechanism to a pair of booleans,
only one of which (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) is user-visible, and is located in
kernel/Kconfig.preempt, where one would expect it to be. The other
(CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU) is in init/Kconfig so that it is available to all
architectures, hopefully avoiding build breakage. Thanks to Roman Zippel for
suggesting this approach.

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y changed its meaning recently and causes
regressions in working setups that had SYSFS_DEPRECATED disabled.
so rename it to SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 so that testers pick up the new
default via 'make oldconfig', even if their old .config's disabled
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED ...

As things get moved into this config option, the hard date of 2006 does
not work anymore, so update the text to be more descriptive.

Document huge memory/cache overhead of memory controller in Kconfig
I was a little surprised that 2.6.25-rc* increased struct page for the
memory controller. At least on many x86-64 machines it will not fit into a
single cache line now anymore and also costs considerable amounts of RAM.
At earlier review I remembered asking for a external data structure for
this.
It's also quite unobvious that a innocent looking Kconfig option with a
single line Kconfig description has such a negative effect.
This patch attempts to document these disadvantages at least so that users
configuring their kernel can make a informed decision.

As Eric pointed out, there is no problem with init starting with sid == pgid
== 0, and this was historical linux behavior changed in 2.6.18.
Remove kernel_init()->__set_special_pids(), this is unneeded and complicates
the rules for sys_setsid().
This change and the previous change in daemonize() mean that /sbin/init does
not need the special "session != 1" hack in sys_setsid() any longer. We can't
remove this check yet, we should cleanup copy_process(CLONE_NEWPID) first, so
update the comment only.

Change set_special_pids() to work with struct pid, not pid_t from global name
space. This again speedups and imho cleanups the code, also a preparation for
the next patch.

Make the user_namespace.o compilation depend on this option and move the
init_user_ns into user.c file to make the kernel compile and work without the
namespaces support. This make the user namespace code be organized similar to
other namespaces'.
Also mask the USER_NS option as "depend on NAMESPACES".

Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files.
I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed.
The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the
functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done
so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the
CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in
included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the
sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that
good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required
in 4 .c files only.
Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c,
msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into
namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros
from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On
the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a
separate patch doing this a bit later.
