Add a field to the host_set called 'flags' (was host_set_flags changed
to suit Jeff)
Add a simplex_claimed field so we can remember who owns the DMA channel
Add a ->mode_filter() hook to allow drivers to filter modes
Add docs for mode_filter and set_mode
Filter according to simplex state
Filter cable in core
This provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found
in the PATA world. The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA
systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the
same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is
neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid
certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object.
Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use
the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the
older libata-pata patches.

This is the minimal patch set to enable the current code to be used with
a controller following SFF (ie any PATA and early SATA controllers)
safely without crashes if there is no BMDMA area or if BMDMA is not
assigned by the BIOS for some reason.
Simplex status is recorded but not acted upon in this change, this isn't
a problem with the current drivers as none of them are for simplex
hardware. A following diff will deal with that.
The flags in the probe structure remain ->host_set_flags although Jeff
asked me to rename them, simply because the rename would break the usual
Linux rules that old code should break when there are changes. not
compile and run and then blow up/eat your computer/etc. Renaming this
later is a trivial exercise once a better name is chosen.

send_sigqueue() checks PF_EXITING, then locks p->sighand->siglock. This is
unsafe: 'p' can exit in between and set ->sighand = NULL. The race is
theoretical, the window is tiny and irqs are disabled by the caller, so I
don't think we need the fix for -stable tree.
Convert send_sigqueue() to use lock_task_sighand() helper.
Also, delete 'p->flags & PF_EXITING' re-check, it is unneeded and the
comment is wrong.

do_signal_stop() considers 'thread_group_empty()' as a special case.
This was needed to avoid taking tasklist_lock. Since this lock is
unneeded any longer, we can remove this special case and simplify
the code even more.
Also, before this patch, finish_stop() was called with stop_count == -1
for 'thread_group_empty()' case. This is not strictly wrong, but confusing

This also means that SIGSTOP or sig_kernel_coredump() signal can't
be delivered to pgrp/session reliably.
With this patch copy_process() returns -ERESTARTNOINTR when it
detects a pending signal, fork() will be restarted transparently
after handling the signals.
This patch also deletes now unneeded "group_stop_count > 0" check,
copy_process() can no longer succeed while group stop in progress.

This patch kills PIDTYPE_TGID pid_type thus saving one hash table in
kernel/pid.c and speeding up subthreads create/destroy a bit. It is also a
preparation for the further tref/pids rework.
This patch adds 'struct list_head thread_group' to 'struct task_struct'
instead.
We don't detach group leader from PIDTYPE_PID namespace until another
thread inherits it's ->pid == ->tgid, so we are safe wrt premature
free_pidmap(->tgid) call.
Currently there are no users of find_task_by_pid_type(PIDTYPE_TGID).
Should the need arise, we can use find_task_by_pid()->group_leader.

This patch moves __unhash_process() call from realease_task() to
__exit_signal(), so __detach_pid() is called with ->siglock held.
This means we don't need tasklist_lock to iterate over thread group anymore:
copy_process() was already changed to do attach_pid()
under ->siglock.
Eric's "pidhash-kill-switch_exec_pids.patch" from -mm
changed de_thread() so it doesn't touch PIDTYPE_TGID.
NOTE: de_thread() still needs some attention. It still changes task->pid
lockless. Taking ->sighand.siglock here allows to do more tasklist_lock
removals.

__exit_signal() does important cleanups atomically under ->siglock. It is
also called from copy_process's error path. This is not good, for example we
can't move __unhash_process() under ->siglock for that reason.
We should not mix these 2 paths, just look at ugly 'if (p->sighand)' under
'bad_fork_cleanup_sighand:' label. For copy_process() case it is sufficient
to just backout copy_signal(), nothing more.
Again, nobody can see this task yet. For CLONE_THREAD case we just decrement
signal->count, otherwise nobody can see this ->signal and we can free it
lockless.
This patch assumes it is safe to do exit_thread_group_keys() without
tasklist_lock.

The only caller of exit_sighand(tsk) is copy_process's error path. We can
call __exit_sighand() directly and kill exit_sighand().
This 'tsk' was not yet registered in pid_hash[] or init_task.tasks, it has no
external references, nobody can see it, and
IF (clone_flags & CLONE_SIGHAND)
At least 'current' has a reference to ->sighand, this
means atomic_dec_and_test(sighand->count) can't be true.
ELSE
Nobody can see this ->sighand, this means we can free it
without any locking.

Add lock_task_sighand() helper and converts group_send_sig_info() to use
it. Hopefully we will have more users soon.
This patch also removes '!sighand->count' and '!p->usage' checks, I think
they both are bogus, racy and unneeded (but probably it makes sense to
restore them as BUG_ON()s).
->sighand is cleared and it's ->count is decremented in release_task() with
sighand->siglock held, so it is a bug to have '!p->usage || !->count' after
we already locked and verified it is the same. On the other hand, an
already dead task without ->sighand can have a non-zero ->usage due to
ptrace, for example.
If we read the stale value of ->sighand we must see the change after
spin_lock(), because that change was done while holding that same old
->sighand.siglock.

This patch borrows a clever Hugh's 'struct anon_vma' trick.
Without tasklist_lock held we can't trust task->sighand until we locked it
and re-checked that it is still the same.
But this means we don't need to defer 'kmem_cache_free(sighand)'. We can
return the memory to slab immediately, all we need is to be sure that
sighand->siglock can't dissapear inside rcu protected section.
To do so we need to initialize ->siglock inside ctor function,
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU does the rest.

daemonize() calls set_special_pids(1,1), while init and kernel threads spawned
from init/main.c:init() run with 0,0 special pids. This patch changes
INIT_SIGNALS() so that that they run with ->pgrp == ->session == 1 also. This
patch relies on fact that swapper's pid == 1.
Now we have no hashed zero pids in pid_hash[].
User-space visibible change is that now /sbin/init runs with (1,1) special
pids and becomes a session leader.
Quoting Eric W. Biederman:
>
> daemonize consuming pids (1,1) then consumes pgrp 1. So that when

fork_idle() does unhash_process() just after copy_process(). Contrary,
boot_cpu's idle thread explicitely registers itself for each pid_type with nr
= 0.
copy_process() already checks p->pid != 0 before process_counts++, I think we
can just skip attach_pid() calls and job control inits for idle threads and
kill unhash_process(). We don't need to cleanup ->proc_dentry in fork_idle()
because with this patch idle threads are never hashed in
kernel/pid.c:pid_hash[].
We don't need to hash pid == 0 in pidmap_init(). free_pidmap() is never
called with pid == 0 arg, so it will never be reused. So it is still possible
to use pid == 0 in any PIDTYPE_xxx namespace from kernel/pid.c's POV.
However with this patch we don't hash pid == 0 for PIDTYPE_PID case. We still
have have PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID entries with pid == 0: /sbin/init and
kernel threads which don't call daemonize().

switch_exec_pids is only called from de_thread by way of exec, and it is
only called when we are exec'ing from a non thread group leader.
Currently switch_exec_pids gives the leader the pid of the thread and
unhashes and rehashes all of the process groups. The leader is already in
the EXIT_DEAD state so no one cares about it's pids. The only concern for
the leader is that __unhash_process called from release_task will function
correctly. If we don't touch the leader at all we know that
__unhash_process will work fine so there is no need to touch the leader.
For the task becomming the thread group leader, we just need to give it the
pid of the old thread group leader, add it to the task list, and attach it
to the session and the process group of the thread group.
Currently de_thread is also adding the task to the task list which is just
silly.
Currently the only leader of __detach_pid besides detach_pid is
switch_exec_pids because of the ugly extra work that was being
performed.
So this patch removes switch_exec_pids because it is doing too much, it is
creating an unnecessary special case in pid.c, duing work duplicated in
de_thread, and generally obscuring what it is going on.
The necessary work is added to de_thread, and it seems to be a little
clearer there what is going on.

I'm not really certain what the thinking was but the code obviously wanted to
walk processes other than just those in it's session, for purposes of do_SAK.
Just walking those tasks that don't have a session assigned sounds at the very
least incomplete.
So modify the code to kill everything in the session and anything else that
might have the tty open. Hopefully this helps if the do_SAK functionality is
ever finished.

We already have the tasklist_lock so there is no need for us to reacquire it
with send_group_sig_info. reader/writer locks allow multiple readers and thus
recursion so the old code was ok just wastful.
