In the spirit of a number of other asm-generic header files,
generalize asm-generic/ioctl.h to allow arch-specific ioctl.h headers
to simply override _IOC_SIZEBITS and/or _IOC_DIRBITS before including
this header file, allowing a number of ioctl.h header files to be
shortened considerably.

This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally (nbd-client to
nbd-server over 127.0.0.1).
It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools
documentation. So, if nbd-client hangs waiting for pages, the kblockd thread
can continue its work and free pages.
I have tested the patch to verify that it avoids the hang that always occurs
when writing to a localhost nbd connection. I have also tested to verify that
no performance degradation results from the additional thread and queue.
Patch originally from Laurent Vivier.

When reading from/writing to some table, a root, which this table came from,
may affect this table's permissions, depending on who is working with the
table.
The core hunk is at the bottom of this patch. All the rest is just pushing
the ctl_table_root argument up to the sysctl_perm() function.
This will be mostly (only?) used in the net sysctls.

The do_sysctl_strategy isn't used outside kernel/sysctl.c, so this can be
static and without a prototype in header.
Besides, move this one and parse_table() above their callers and drop the
forward declarations of the latter call.
One more "besides" - fix two checkpatch warnings: space before a ( and an
extra space at the end of a line.

This set of patches fixes an proc ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flip in
the most part of the kernel code. The original OOPS is described in the
commit 2d3a4e3666325a9709cc8ea2e88151394e8f20fc:
Typical PDE creation code looks like:
pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL);
if (pde)
pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops;
Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to
final value. This is a problem because right after creation
a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and
b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's
possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below).
The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are
set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like:
pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops);
if (!pde)
return -ENOMEM;
Fix most networking users for a start.
In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.
In addition to this, proc_create_data is introduced to fix reading from
proc without PDE->data. The race is basically the same as above.
create_proc_entries is replaced in the entire kernel code as new method
is also simply better.
This patch:
The problem is the same as for de->proc_fops. Right now PDE becomes visible
without data set. So, the entry could be looked up without data. This, in
most cases, will simply OOPS.
proc_create_data call is created to address this issue. proc_create now
becomes a wrapper around it.

Now that last dozen or so users of ->get_info were removed, ditch it too.
Everyone sane shouldd have switched to seq_file interface long ago.
P.S.: Co-existing 3 interfaces (->get_info/->read_proc/->proc_fops) for proc
is long-standing crap, BTW, thus
a) put ->read_proc/->write_proc/read_proc_entry() users on death row,
b) new such users should be rejected,
c) everyone is encouraged to convert his favourite ->read_proc user or
I'll do it, lazy bastards.

The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and
reported as the result.
Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems.
This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of
walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a
reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct.
That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file
from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number
of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is
unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

Make the keyring quotas controllable through /proc/sys files:

/proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxbytes
Maximum number of keys that root may have and the maximum total number of
bytes of data that root may have stored in those keys.
(*) /proc/sys/kernel/keys/maxkeys
/proc/sys/kernel/keys/maxbytes
Maximum number of keys that each non-root user may have and the maximum
total number of bytes of data that each of those users may have stored in
their keys.
Also increase the quotas as a number of people have been complaining that it's
not big enough. I'm not sure that it's big enough now either, but on the
other hand, it can now be set in /etc/sysctl.conf.

Don't generate the per-UID user and user session keyrings unless they're
explicitly accessed. This solves a problem during a login process whereby
set*uid() is called before the SELinux PAM module, resulting in the per-UID
keyrings having the wrong security labels.
This also cures the problem of multiple per-UID keyrings sometimes appearing
due to PAM modules (including pam_keyinit) setuiding and causing user_structs
to come into and go out of existence whilst the session keyring pins the user
keyring. This is achieved by first searching for extant per-UID keyrings
before inventing new ones.
The serial bound argument is also dropped from find_keyring_by_name() as it's
not currently made use of (setting it to 0 disables the feature).

Add a keyctl() function to get the security label of a key.
The following is added to Documentation/keys.txt:
(*) Get the LSM security context attached to a key.
long keyctl(KEYCTL_GET_SECURITY, key_serial_t key, char *buffer,
size_t buflen)
This function returns a string that represents the LSM security context
attached to a key in the buffer provided.
Unless there's an error, it always returns the amount of data it could
produce, even if that's too big for the buffer, but it won't copy more
than requested to userspace. If the buffer pointer is NULL then no copy
will take place.
A NUL character is included at the end of the string if the buffer is
sufficiently big. This is included in the returned count. If no LSM is
in force then an empty string will be returned.
A process must have view permission on the key for this function to be
successful.

The "run_to_completion" mode was somewhat broken. Locks need to be avoided in
run_to_completion mode, and it shouldn't be used by normal users, just
internally for panic situations.
This patch removes locks in run_to_completion mode and removes the user call
for setting the mode. The only user was the poweroff code, but it was easily
converted to use the polling interface.

Introduce a notification mechanism that aims at recomputing msgmni each time
an ipc namespace is created or removed.
The ipc namespace notifier chain already defined for memory hotplug management
is used for that purpose too.
Each time a new ipc namespace is allocated or an existing ipc namespace is
removed, the ipcns notifier chain is notified. The callback routine for each
registered ipc namespace is then activated in order to recompute msgmni for
that namespace.

Introduce the registration of a callback routine that recomputes msg_ctlmni
upon memory add / remove.
A single notifier block is registered in the hotplug memory chain for all the
ipc namespaces.
Since the ipc namespaces are not linked together, they have their own
notification chain: one notifier_block is defined per ipc namespace.
Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it registers (unregisters) its
notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The callback routine registered in
the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier chain with the IPCNS_LOWMEM event.
Each callback routine registered in the ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes
msgmni for the owning namespace.

On large systems we'd like to allow a larger number of message queues. In
some cases up to 32K. However simply setting MSGMNI to a larger value may
cause problems for smaller systems.
The first patch of this series introduces a default maximum number of message
queue ids that scales with the amount of lowmem.
Since msgmni is per namespace and there is no amount of memory dedicated to
each namespace so far, the second patch of this series scales msgmni to the
number of ipc namespaces too.
Since msgmni depends on the amount of memory, it becomes necessary to
recompute it upon memory add/remove. In the 4th patch, memory hotplug
management is added: a notifier block is registered into the memory hotplug
notifier chain for the ipc subsystem. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked
together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is
defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it
registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The
callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier
chain with the IPCNS_MEMCHANGE event. Each callback routine registered in the
ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace.
The 5th patch makes it possible to keep the memory hotplug notifier chain's
lock for a lesser amount of time: instead of directly notifying the ipcns
notifier chain upon memory add/remove, a work item is added to the global
workqueue. When activated, this work item is the one who notifies the ipcns
notifier chain.
Since msgmni depends on the number of ipc namespaces, it becomes necessary to
recompute it upon ipc namespace creation / removal. The 6th patch uses the
ipc namespace notifier chain for that purpose: that chain is notified each
time an ipc namespace is created or removed. This makes it possible to
recompute msgmni for all the namespaces each time one of them is created or
removed.
When msgmni is explicitely set from userspace, we should avoid recomputing it
upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal. This is what the 7th patch
does: it simply unregisters the ipcns callback routine as soon as msgmni has
been changed from procfs or sysctl().
Even if msgmni is set by hand, it should be possible to make it back
automatically recomputed upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal.
This what is achieved in patch 8: if set to a negative value, msgmni is added
back to the ipcns notifier chain, making it automatically recomputed again.
This patch:
Compute msg_ctlmni to make it scale with the amount of lowmem. msg_ctlmni is
now set to make the message queues occupy 1/32 of the available lowmem.
Some cleaning has also been done for the MSGPOOL constant: the msgctl man page
says it's not used, but it also defines it as a size in bytes (the code
expresses it in Kbytes).

Introduce new interfaces, dma_*map*_attrs(), for passing architecture-specific
attributes when memory is mapped and unmapped for DMA. Give the interfaces
default implementations which ignore attributes. Also introduce the
dma_{set|get}_attr() interfaces for setting and retrieving individual
attributes. Define one attribute, DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER, in anticipation of
its use by ia64/sn. Select whether architectures implement arch-specific
versions of the dma_*map*_attrs() interfaces via HAVE_DMA_ATTRS in Kconfig.

This is a very common requirement from people using the resource accounting
facilities (not only memcgroup but also OpenVZ beancounters). They want to
put the cgroup in an initial state without re-creating it.
For example after re-configuring a group people want to observe how this new
configuration fits the group needs without saving the previous failcnt value.
Merge two resets into one mem_cgroup_reset() function to demonstrate how
multiplexing work.
Besides, I have plans to move the files, that correspond to res_counter to the
res_counter.c file and somehow "import" them into controller. I don't know
how to make it gracefully yet, but merging resets of max_usage and failcnt in
one function will be there for sure.

The resource counter is supposed to facilitate the resource accounting of
arbitrary resource (and it already does this for memory controller).
However, it is about to be used in other resources controllers (swap, kernel
memory, networking, etc), so provide a doc describing how to work with it.
This will eliminate all the possible future duplications in the appropriate
controllers' docs.
Fixed errors pointed out by Randy.

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.

When we attach a process to a different cgroup, the css_set linked-list will
be run through to find a suitable existing css_set to use. This patch
implements a hash table for better performance.
The following benchmarks have been tested:
For N in 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, create N cgroups with one sleeping
task in each, and then move an additional task through each cgroup in
turn.
Here is a test result:
N Loop orig - Time(s) hash - Time(s)
----------------------------------------------
1 10000 1.201231728 1.196311177

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 "releasable" control file provided by the cgroup framework exports the
state of a per-cgroup flag that's related to the notify-on-release feature.

This patch moves the "releasable" file to the cgroup_debug subsystem.

This adds support for OLPC XO hardware. Open Firmware on XOs don't contain
the VSA, so it is necessary to emulate the PCI BARs in the kernel. This also
adds functionality for running EC commands, and a CONFIG_OLPC.
A number of OLPC drivers depend upon CONFIG_OLPC.
olpc_ec_timeout is a hack to work around Embedded Controller bugs.

A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active,
such as
perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'
and
perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'
causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely
filled with the currently active background color instead of the default
color.
When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new
region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using
memset. However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing
them to be colored with the currently active background color. This is
different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with
the default background color (e.g. `xterm -bg black`).
The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new
vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used
for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.
