Pull futex and timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A oneliner bugfix for the jinxed futex code:
- Drop hash bucket lock in the error exit path. I really could slap
myself for intruducing that bug while fixing all the other horror
in that code three month ago ...
and the timer department is not too proud about the following fixes:
- Deal with a long standing rounding bug in the timeval to jiffies
conversion. It's a real issue and this fix fell through the cracks
for quite some time.
- Another round of alarmtimer fixes. Finally this code gets used
more widely and the subtle issues hidden for quite some time are
noticed and fixed. Nothing really exciting, just the itty bitty
details which bite the serious users here and there"

Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's
expiry callback.
The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held
during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through
posix_timer_fn(). The alarm timers follow a different path, so they
ought to grab the lock somewhere else.

Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to
SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback.
The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by
not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it
would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler
to handle this as a special case in the timeout.
Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value
and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the
sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was
specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an
unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then
it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

Returns the time remaining for an alarm timer, rather than the time at
which it is scheduled to expire. If the timer has already expired or it
is not currently scheduled, the it_value's members are set to zero.
This new behavior matches that of the other posix-timers and the POSIX
specifications.
This is a change in user-visible behavior, and may break existing
applications. Hopefully, few users rely on the old incorrect behavior.

timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number
of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals
corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested
itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer:
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val);
would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in
terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing
this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math.
Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed
(eliding seconds)
jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC)
by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of
NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC =
x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed:
jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC
and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we
can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the
scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true
value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we
effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding
down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up,
and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this
would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the
slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the
final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.)
In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec
was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of
TICK_NSEC.
We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding
something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to
convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using
time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is
not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware.
Tested: the following program:
int main() {
struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
/* Initially set to 10 ms. */
struct itimerval initial = zero;
initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL);
/* Save and restore several times. */
for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
struct itimerval prev;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev);
/* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */
printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n",
prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec,
prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL);
}
return 0;
}

futex_wait_requeue_pi() calls futex_wait_setup(). If
futex_wait_setup() succeeds it returns with hb->lock held and
preemption disabled. Now the sanity check after this does:
if (match_futex(&q.key, &key2)) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out_put_keys;
}
which releases the keys but does not release hb->lock.
So we happily return to user space with hb->lock held and therefor
preemption disabled.
Unlock hb->lock before taking the exit route.

The C operator <= defines a perfectly fine total ordering on the set of
values representable in a long. However, unlike its namesake in the
integers, it is not translation invariant, meaning that we do not have
"b <= c" iff "a+b <= a+c" for all a,b,c.
This means that it is always wrong to try to boil down the relationship
between two longs to a question about the sign of their difference,
because the resulting relation [a LEQ b iff a-b <= 0] is neither
anti-symmetric or transitive. The former is due to -LONG_MIN==LONG_MIN
(take any two a,b with a-b = LONG_MIN; then a LEQ b and b LEQ a, but a !=
b). The latter can either be seen observing that x LEQ x+1 for all x,
implying x LEQ x+1 LEQ x+2 ... LEQ x-1 LEQ x; or more directly with the
simple example a=LONG_MIN, b=0, c=1, for which a-b < 0, b-c < 0, but a-c >
0.
Note that it makes absolutely no difference that a transmogrying bijection
has been applied before the comparison is done. In fact, had the
obfuscation not been done, one could probably not observe the bug
(assuming all values being compared always lie in one half of the address
space, the mathematical value of a-b is always representable in a long).
As it stands, one can easily obtain three file descriptors exhibiting the
non-transitivity of kcmp().
Side note 1: I can't see that ensuring the MSB of the multiplier is
set serves any purpose other than obfuscating the obfuscating code.

We shouldn't set text_len in the code path that detects printk recursion
because text_len corresponds to the length of the string inside textbuf.
A few lines down from the line
text_len = strlen(recursion_msg);
is the line
text_len += vscnprintf(text + text_len, ...);
So if printk detects recursion, it sets text_len to 29 (the length of
recursion_msg) and logs an error. Then the message supplied by the
caller of printk is stored inside textbuf but offset by 29 bytes. This
means that the output of the recursive call to printk will contain 29
bytes of garbage in front of it.
This defect is caused by commit 458df9fd4815 ("printk: remove separate
printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead") which turned the line
text_len = vscnprintf(text, ...);
into
text_len += vscnprintf(text + text_len, ...);
To fix this, this patch avoids setting text_len when logging the printk
recursion error. This patch also marks unlikely() the branch leading up
to this code.

We saw a kernel soft lockup in perf_remove_from_context(),
it looks like the `perf` process, when exiting, could not go
out of the retry loop. Meanwhile, the target process was forking
a child. So either the target process should execute the smp
function call to deactive the event (if it was running) or it should
do a context switch which deactives the event.
It seems we optimize out a context switch in perf_event_context_sched_out(),
and what's more important, we still test an obsolete task pointer when
retrying, so no one actually would deactive that event in this situation.
Fix it directly by reloading the task pointer in perf_remove_from_context().
This should cure the above soft lockup.

The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the
seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the
shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's
sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields
is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an
operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow.
The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and
pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none
of the invoked update functions used base_mono.
commit cbcf2dd3b3d4 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread()
nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so
the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction.
Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.

The local nohz kick is currently used by perf which needs it to be
NMI-safe. Recent commit though (7d1311b93e58ed55f3a31cc8f94c4b8fe988a2b9)
changed its implementation to fire the local kick using the remote kick
API. It was convenient to make the code more generic but the remote kick
isn't NMI-safe.

After commit d431cbc53cb7 (PM / sleep: Simplify sleep states sysfs
interface code) the pm_states[] array is not populated initially,
which causes setup_test_suspend() to always fail and the suspend
testing during boot doesn't work any more.
Fix the problem by using pm_labels[] instead of pm_states[] in
setup_test_suspend() and storing a pointer to the label of the
sleep state to test rather than the number representing it,
because the connection between the state numbers and labels is
only established by suspend_set_ops().

Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code
compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory
code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems
to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards.
Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break
existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality
will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how
can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while.
I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config
option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches
don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used. This
new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other arches had
to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction of new config
option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches.
Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I had
CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that.
For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to
"depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is not
recursive.

be null and new code does not consider that possibility. Old code used
a for loop and that loop will not even execute if p was null.
Revert back to for() loop logic and bail out if p is null.
I also moved sibling_only check out of resource_lock. There is no
reason to keep it inside the lock.
Following is backtrace of the UML crash.

The nocb callbacks generated before the nocb kthreads are spawned are
enqueued in the nocb queue for later processing. Commit fbce7497ee5af ("rcu:
Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups") introduced nocb leader kthreads
which checked the nocb_leader_wake flag to see if there were any such pending
callbacks. A case was reported in which newly spawned leader kthreads were not
processing the pending callbacks as this flag was not set, which led to a boot
hang.
The following commit ensures that the newly spawned nocb kthreads process the
pending callbacks by allowing the kthreads to run immediately after spawning
instead of waiting. This is done by inverting the logic of nocb_leader_wake
tests to nocb_leader_sleep which allows us to use the default initialization of
this flag to 0 to let the kthreads run.

Pull trace buffer epoll hang fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Josef Bacik found a bug in the ring_buffer_poll_wait() where the
condition variable (waiters_pending) was set before being added to the
poll queue via poll_wait(). This allowed for a small race window to
happen where an event could come in, check the condition variable see
it set to true, clear it, and then wake all the waiters. But because
the waiter set the variable before adding itself to the queue, the
waker could have cleared the variable after it was set and then miss
waking it up as it wasn't added to the queue yet.
Discussing this bug, we realized that a memory barrier needed to be
added too, for the rare case that something polls for a single trace
event to happen (and just one, no more to come in), and miss the
wakeup due to memory ordering. Ideally, a memory barrier needs to be
added on the writer side too, but as that will kill tracing
performance and this is for a situation that tracing wasn't even
designed for (who traces one instance of an event, use a printk
instead!), this isn't worth adding the barrier. But we can in the
future add the barrier for when the buffer goes from empty to the
first event, as that would cover this case"

trace: Fix epoll hang when we race with new entries
|
|
Epoll on trace_pipe can sometimes hang in a weird case. If the ring buffer is
empty when we set waiters_pending but an event shows up exactly at that moment
we can miss being woken up by the ring buffers irq work. Since
ring_buffer_empty() is inherently racey we will sometimes think that the buffer
is not empty. So we don't get woken up and we don't think there are any events
even though there were some ready when we added the watch, which makes us hang.
This patch fixes this by making sure that we are actually on the wait list
before we set waiters_pending, and add a memory barrier to make sure
ring_buffer_empty() is going to be correct.

Pull fix for ftrace function tracer/profiler conflict from Steven Rostedt:
"The rewrite of the ftrace code that makes it possible to allow for
separate trampolines had a design flaw with the interaction between
the function and function_graph tracers.
The main flaw was the simplification of the use of multiple tracers
having the same filter (like function and function_graph, that use the
set_ftrace_filter file to filter their code). The design assumed that
the two tracers could never run simultaneously as only one tracer can
be used at a time. The problem with this assumption was that the
function profiler could be implemented on top of the function graph
tracer, and the function profiler could run at the same time as the
function tracer. This caused the assumption to be broken and when
ftrace detected this failed assumpiton it would spit out a nasty
warning and shut itself down.
Instead of using a single ftrace_ops that switches between the
function and function_graph callbacks, the two tracers can again use
their own ftrace_ops. But instead of having a complex hierarchy of
ftrace_ops, the filter fields are placed in its own structure and the
ftrace_ops can carefully use the same filter. This change took a bit
to be able to allow for this and currently only the global_ops can
share the same filter, but this new design can easily be modified to
allow for any ftrace_ops to share its filter with another ftrace_ops.
The first four patches deal with the change of allowing the ftrace_ops
to share the filter (and this needs to go to 3.16 as well).
The fifth patch fixes a bug that was also caused by the new changes
but only for archs other than x86, and only if those archs implement a
direct call to the function_graph tracer which they do not do yet but
will in the future. It does not need to go to stable, but needs to be
fixed before the other archs update their code to allow direct calls
to the function_graph trampoline"

In __ftrace_replace_code(), when converting the call to a nop in a function
it needs to compare against the "curr" (current) value of the ftrace ops, and
not the "new" one. It currently does not affect x86 which is the only arch
to do the trampolines with function graph tracer, but when other archs that do
depend on this code implement the function graph trampoline, it can crash.
Here's an example when ARM uses the trampolines (in the future):

The latest rewrite of ftrace removed the separate ftrace_ops of
the function tracer and the function graph tracer and had them
share the same ftrace_ops. This simplified the accounting by removing
the multiple layers of functions called, where the global_ops func
would call a special list that would iterate over the other ops that
were registered within it (like function and function graph), which
itself was registered to the ftrace ops list of all functions
currently active. If that sounds confusing, the code that implemented
it was also confusing and its removal is a good thing.
The problem with this change was that it assumed that the function
and function graph tracer can never be used at the same time.
This is mostly true, but there is an exception. That is when the
function profiler uses the function graph tracer to profile.
The function profiler can be activated the same time as the function
tracer, and this breaks the assumption and the result is that ftrace
will crash (it detects the error and shuts itself down, it does not
cause a kernel oops).
To solve this issue, a previous change allowed the hash tables
for the functions traced by a ftrace_ops to be a pointer and let
multiple ftrace_ops share the same hash. This allows the function
and function_graph tracer to have separate ftrace_ops, but still
share the hash, which is what is done.
Now the function and function graph tracers have separate ftrace_ops
again, and the function tracer can be run while the function_profile
is active.

Now that a ftrace_hash can be shared by multiple ftrace_ops, they can dec
the rec->flags by more than once (one per those that share the ftrace_hash).
This means that the tramp_hash may not have a hash item when it was added.
For example, if two ftrace_ops share a hash for a ftrace record, and the
first ops has a trampoline, when it adds itself it will set the rec->flags
TRAMP flag and increments its nr_trampolines counter. When the second ops
is added, it must clear that tramp flag but also decrement the other ops
that shares its hash. As the update to the function callbacks has not yet
been performed, the other ops will not have the tramp hash set yet and it
can not be used to know to decrement its nr_trampolines.
Luckily, the tramp_hash does not need to be used. As the ftrace_mutex is
held, a ops with a trampoline to a record during an update of another ops
that shares the record will have its func_hash pointing to it. Since a
trampoline can only be set for a record if only one ops is attached to it,
we can just check if the record has a trampoline (the FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag
is set) and then find the ops that has this record in its hashes.
Also added some output to help debug when things go wrong.

Kernel command line parameter cgroup__DEVEL__legacy_files_on_dfl forces
legacy cgroup files to show up on default hierarhcy if susbsystem does
not have any files defined for default hierarchy.
But this seems to be working only if legacy files are defined in
ss->legacy_cftypes. If one adds some cftypes later using
cgroup_add_legacy_cftypes(), these files don't show up on default
hierarchy. Update the function accordingly so that the dynamically
added legacy files also show up in the default hierarchy if the target
subsystem is also using the base legacy files for the default
hierarchy.

Currently the top level debug file system function tracer shares its
ftrace_ops with the function graph tracer. This was thought to be fine
because the tracers are not used together, as one can only enable
function or function_graph tracer in the current_tracer file.
But that assumption proved to be incorrect. The function profiler
can use the function graph tracer when function tracing is enabled.
Since all function graph users uses the function tracing ftrace_ops
this causes a conflict and when a user enables both function profiling
as well as the function tracer it will crash ftrace and disable it.
The quick solution so far is to move them as separate ftrace_ops like
it was earlier. The problem though is to synchronize the functions that
are traced because both function and function_graph tracer are limited
by the selections made in the set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace
files.
To handle this, a new structure is made called ftrace_ops_hash. This
structure will now hold the filter_hash and notrace_hash, and the
ftrace_ops will point to this structure. That will allow two ftrace_ops
to share the same hashes.
Since most ftrace_ops do not share the hashes, and to keep allocation
simple, the ftrace_ops structure will include both a pointer to the
ftrace_ops_hash called func_hash, as well as the structure itself,
called local_hash. When the ops are registered, the func_hash pointer
will be initialized to point to the local_hash within the ftrace_ops
structure. Some of the ftrace internal ftrace_ops will be initialized
statically. This will allow for the function and function_graph tracer
to have separate ops but still share the same hash tables that determine
what functions they trace.

When running a 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel (eg. i386
application on x86_64 kernel or 32-bit arm userspace on arm64
kernel) some of the perf ioctls must be treated with special
care, as they have a pointer size encoded in the command.
For example, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID in 32-bit world will be encoded
as 0x80042407, but 64-bit kernel will expect 0x80082407. In
result the ioctl will fail returning -ENOTTY.
This patch solves the problem by adding code fixing up the
size as compat_ioctl file operation.

"These are a couple of regression fixes, cpuidle menu governor
optimizations, fixes for ACPI proccessor and battery drivers,
hibernation fix to avoid problems related to the e820 memory map,
fixes for a few cpufreq drivers and a new version of the suspend

that causes a kernel panic to trigger when memory hot-remove is
attempted with CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY unset from Tang Chen
- Fix for a cpufreq regression introduced in 3.16 that triggers a
"sleeping function called from invalid context" bug in
dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table() from Stephen Boyd
- ACPI battery driver fix for a warning message added in 3.16 that
prints silly stuff sometimes from Mariusz Ceier
- Hibernation fix for safer handling of mismatches in the 820 memory
map between the configurations during image creation and during the
subsequent restore from Chun-Yi Lee
- ACPI processor driver fix to handle CPU hotplug notifications
correctly during system suspend/resume from Lan Tianyu

Benjamin Herrenschmidt pointed out that I further missed modifying
update_vsyscall after the wall_to_mono value was changed to a
timespec64. This causes issues on powerpc32, which expects a 32bit
timespec.
This patch fixes the problem by properly converting from a timespec64 to
a timespec before passing the value on to the arch-specific vsyscall
logic.
[ Thomas is currently on vacation, but reviewed it and wanted me to send
this fix on to you directly. ]

Pull more powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here are some more powerpc bits for 3.17, essentially fixes.
The biggest series, also aimed at -stable, is from Aneesh and is the
result of weeks and weeks of debugging to find out why the heck or THP
implementation was occasionally triggering multi-hit errors in our
level 1 TLB. It ended up being a combination of issues including
subtleties as to how we should invalidate those special 'MPSS' pages
we use to allow the use of 16M pages inside 4K/64K "base page size"
segments (you really have to love our MMU !)
Another interesting one in the "OMG" category is the series from
Michael adding memory barriers to spin_is_locked(). That's also the
result of many days of debugging to figure out why the semaphore code
would occasionally crash in ways that made no sense. It ended up
being some creative lock stacking that was defeated by the fact that
our locks allow a load inside the locked section to be re-ordered with
the load of the lock value itself (I'm still of two mind about whether
to kill that once and for all by putting a heavier barrier back into
our lock implementation...). The fixes come with a long explanation
in the cset comments, feel free to read it if you feel like having a
headache today"

configurations without any actual spinlock state. Which is very much
why we have that "assert_spin_lock()" function for this.

Platforms like IBM Power Systems supports service processor
assisted dump. It provides interface to add memory region to
be captured when system is crashed.
During initialization/running we can add kernel memory region
to be collected.
Presently we don't have a way to get the log buffer base address
and size. This patch adds support to return log buffer address
and size.

Current upstream kernel hangs with mips and powerpc targets in
uniprocessor mode if SECCOMP is configured.
Bisect points to commit dbd952127d11 ("seccomp: introduce writer locking").
Turns out that code such as
BUG_ON(!spin_is_locked(&list_lock));
can not be used in uniprocessor mode because spin_is_locked() always
returns false in this configuration, and that assert_spin_locked()
exists for that very purpose and must be used instead.

"Stuff in here:
- acct.c fixes and general rework of mnt_pin mechanism. That allows

happen on shallow stack. IOW, we can do Eric's umount-on-rmdir
series without introducing tons of stack overflows on new mntput()
call chains it introduces.
- Bruce's d_splice_alias() patches
- more Miklos' rename() stuff.
- a couple of regression fixes (stable fodder, in the end of branch)
and a fix for API idiocy in iov_iter.c.
There definitely will be another pile, maybe even two. I'd like to
get Eric's series in this time, but even if we miss it, it'll go right
in the beginning of for-next in the next cycle - the tricky part of

Pull trace file read iterator fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This contains a fix for two long standing bugs. Both of which are
rarely ever hit, and requires the user to do something that users
rarely do. It took a few special test cases to even trigger this bug,
and one of them was just one test in the process of finishing up as
another one started.
Both bugs have to do with the ring buffer iterator rb_iter_peek(), but
one is more indirect than the other.
The fist bug fix is simply an increase in the safety net loop counter.
The counter makes sure that the rb_iter_peek() only iterates the
number of times we expect it can, and no more. Well, there was one
way it could iterate one more than we expected, and that caused the
ring buffer to shutdown with a nasty warning. The fix was simply to
up that counter by one.
The other bug has to be with rb_iter_reset() (called by
rb_iter_peek()). This happens when a user reads both the trace_pipe
and trace files. The trace_pipe is a consuming read and does not use
the ring buffer iterator, but the trace file is not a consuming read
and does use the ring buffer iterator. When the trace file is being
read, if it detects that a consuming read occurred, it resets the
iterator and starts over. But the reset code that does this
(rb_iter_reset()), checks if the reader_page is linked to the ring
buffer or not, and will look into the ring buffer itself if it is not.
This is wrong, as it should always try to read the reader page first.
Not to mention, the code that looked into the ring buffer did it
wrong, and used the header_page "read" offset to start reading on that
page. That offset is bogus for pages in the writable ring buffer, and
was corrupting the iterator, and it would start returning bogus
events"

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This is a bunch of small changes built against 3.16-rc6. The most
significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns
drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling.
The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not
allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the
system wide root. Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only,
no-dev mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec
mounts to stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing
with a mounts atime settings. I have included my test case as the
last patch in this series so people performing backports can verify
this change works correctly.
The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing
nsproxy users for the first optimization. Today you can oops the
kernel by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever
with pid namespaces. I rebased and fixed the build of the
!CONFIG_NFS_FS case yesterday when a build bot caught my typo. Given
that no one to my knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo
in place seems more responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be
backported as well.
The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing
/proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it. This
prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases. It is a
user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions
so the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line
commits that can be trivially reverted. Unfortunately I lost and
could not find the email of the original reporter so he is not
credited. From at least one perspective this change to /proc/net is a
refgression fix to allow pthread /proc/net uses that were broken by
the introduction of the network namespace"
