It is a non-standard heap-sort algorithm implementation because the index
of child node is wrong . The sort function still outputs right result, but
the performance is O( n * ( log(n) + 1 ) ) , about 10% ~ 20% worse than
standard algorithm.

Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol
and its module's name it belongs. This is specially true in arch specific
code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops
(mips is an example). In this specific case, we just need to retreive the
function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it.
Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does
exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to
store any names.
It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.

These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system. They are required
because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
for example. The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
automatically where the arch supports it.
Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
so overlaps occur.
This patch:
Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.
The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
available and where possible. If it is not possible to represent the inode
number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
error EOVERFLOW will be issued.
Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.
Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.
Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
same reasons.
It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

The race is as follows:
A process : cma_process_remove() calls cma_remove_id_dev(),
which sets id state to CMA_DEVICE_REMOVAL and
calls wait_event(dev_remove).
B process : cma_req_handler() had incremented dev_remove,
and calls cma_acquire_ib_dev() and on failure
calls cma_release_remove(), which does a
wake_up of cma_process_remove(). Then
cma_req_handler() calls rdma_destroy_id();
A Process : cma_remove_id_dev() gets woken and checks the
state of id, and since it is still (wrongly)
CMA_DEVICE_REMOVAL, it calls notify_user(id)
and if that fails, the caller - cma_process_remove()
calls rdma_destroy_id(id). Two processes can
call rdma_destroy_id(), resulting in one
de-referencing kfreed id_priv.
Fix is for process B to set CMA_DESTROYING in cma_req_handler()
so that process A will return instead of doing a rdma_destroy_id().

then the open method should not automatically allow
the setting of allow_close to CLOSE_STATE_ALLOW.
The setting of allow_close nullifies the use of

in the default state, the watchdog will shut-down

Revert Andrew Morton's patch to temporarily hack around the lack of a
declaration of sigset_t in linux/compat.h to make the block-disablement
patches build on IA64. This got accidentally pushed to Linus and should
be fixed in a different manner.
Also make linux/compat.h #include asm/signal.h to gain a definition of
sigset_t so that it can externally declare sigset_from_compat().
This has been compile-tested for i386, x86_64, ia64, mips, mips64, frv, ppc and
ppc64 and run-tested on frv.

There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The
ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a
cached pid (cad_pid).
This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
modified through systctl with
/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid
[ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]
It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

proc_pid_make_inode:
ei->pid = get_pid(task_pid(task));
I think this is not safe. get_pid() can be preempted after checking "pid
!= NULL". Then the task exits, does detach_pid(), and RCU frees the pid.

task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent. However
task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order
1) release_task(task)
2) release_task(task->parent)
3) a grace period passed
But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive()
can't be true in such a case.
Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us.

Drop tasklist_lock. ->siglock protects almost all interesting data
(including sub-threads traversal) except:
->signal->tty
protected by tty_mutex
->real_parent
the task can't be unhashed while we are holding
->siglock, so ->real_parent can change from under us
but we can safely dereference it under rcu_read_lock()
->pgrp/->session
we can get inconsistent numbers if the task does
sys_setsid/daemonize at the same time. I hope this
is acceptable.

The hard coded inode numbers in proc currently limit its maintainability,
its flexibility, and what can be done with the rest of system. /proc limits
pid-max to 32768 on 32 bit systems it limits fd-max to 32768 on all systems,
and placing the pid in the inode number really gets in the way of implementing
subdirectories of per process information.
Ever since people started adding to the middle of the file type enumeration we
haven't been maintaing the historical inode numbers, all we have really
succeeded in doing is keeping the pid in the proc inode number. The pid is
already available in the directory name so no information is lost removing it
from the inode number.
So if something in user space cares if we remove the inode number from the
/proc inode it is almost certainly broken.

To remove the hard coded proc inode numbers it is necessary to be able to
create the proc inodes during readdir. The instantiate methods are the subset
of lookup that is needed to accomplish that.

This patch generalizes the concept of files in /proc that are related to
processes but live in the root directory of /proc
Ideally this would reuse infrastructure from the rest of the process specific
parts of proc but unfortunately security_task_to_inode must not be called on
files that are not strictly per process. security_task_to_inode really needs
to be reexamined as the security label can change in important places that we
are not currently catching, but I'm not certain that simplifies this problem.
By at least matching the structure of the rest of proc we get more idiom reuse
and it becomes easier to spot problems in the way things are put together.
Later things like /proc/mounts are likely to be moved into proc_base as well.
If union mounts are ever supported we may be able to make /proc a union mount,
and properly split it into 2 filesystems.
