This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.
Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
<dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case
(one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a
supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.
- Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.
Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
callback instead of the marker site.
Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.
- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
armed.
Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.
This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".
If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.
It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :
Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

proc_doulongvec_minmax() calls copy_to_user()/copy_from_user(), so we can't
hold hugetlb_lock over the call. Use a dummy variable to store the sysctl

nr_overcommit_huge_pages.

Steven mentioned the fun case where a lock holding task will be throttled.
Simple fix: allow groups that have boosted tasks to run anyway.
If a runnable task in a throttled group gets boosted the dequeue/enqueue
done by rt_mutex_setprio() is enough to unthrottle the group.
This is ofcourse not quite correct. Two possible ways forward are:
- second prio array for boosted tasks
- boost to a prio ceiling (this would also work for deadline scheduling)

hrtimer_nanosleep_restart() clears/restores restart_block->fn. This is

Spotted by Pavel Emelyanov and Alexey Dobriyan.
hrtimer_nanosleep() sets restart_block->arg1 = rmtp, but this rmtp points to
the local variable which lives in the caller's stack frame. This means that
if sys_restart_syscall() actually happens and it is interrupted as well, we
don't update the user-space variable, but write into the already dead stack
frame.
Introduced by commit 04c227140fed77587432667a574b14736a06dd7f
hrtimer: Rework hrtimer_nanosleep to make sys_compat_nanosleep easier
Change the callers to pass "__user *rmtp" to hrtimer_nanosleep(), and change
hrtimer_nanosleep() to use copy_to_user() to actually update *rmtp.
Small problem remains. man 2 nanosleep states that *rtmp should be written if
nanosleep() was interrupted (it says nothing whether it is OK to update *rmtp
if nanosleep returns 0), but (with or without this patch) we can dirty *rem
even if nanosleep() returns 0.
NOTE: this patch doesn't change compat_sys_nanosleep(), because it has other
bugs. Fixed by the next patch.

Probing non-ISA interrupts using the handle_percpu_irq as their handle_irq
method may crash the system because handle_percpu_irq does not check
IRQ_WAITING. This for example hits the MIPS Qemu configuration.
This patch provides two helper functions set_irq_noprobe and set_irq_probe to
set rsp. clear the IRQ_NOPROBE flag. The only current caller is MIPS code
but this really belongs into generic code.
As an aside, interrupt probing these days has become a mostly obsolete if not
dangerous art. I think Linux interrupts should be changed to default to
non-probing but that's subject of this patch.

Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for
implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate
things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are
calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are
just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and
1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores
succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input
is acctually invalid.
This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements
strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly
validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and
returns an error:
write error: Invalid argument
Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of
simple_strtox to reject any invalid input.
Here are some test results:

All the functions that need to lookup a task by pid in posix timers obtain
this pid from a user space, and thus this value refers to a task in the same

When the conversion factor between jiffies and milli- or microseconds is
not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently
do a multiply followed by a divide. The intervening result, however, is
subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for
HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000).
This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for
example.
This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on
32-bit platforms. When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable
way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this
since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on
64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g. on 64-bit s390), but
since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify
the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000).
The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half
of the valid output range. This could be avoided at the expense of having
to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result. Since the intent is
to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only
semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff.
At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute
the necessary constants. We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel
compiles. This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which
is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0.
In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned
constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that
Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table.
Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the
Makefile. Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the
architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r,
m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or
sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the
sh tree.

Remains the question whether it is intended that many, perhaps even large,
tables are compiled in without ever having a chance to get used, i.e.
whether there shouldn't #ifdef CONFIG_xxx get added.

This is the first step (of two) in removing the kill_pgrp_info.
All the users of this function are in kernel/signal.c, but all they need is to
call __kill_pgrp_info() with the tasklist_lock read-locked.
Fortunately, one of its users is the kill_something_info(), which already
needs this lock in one of its branches, so clean these branches up and call
the __kill_pgrp_info() directly.
Based on Oleg's view of how this function should look.

Some time ago the xxx_vnr() calls (e.g. pid_vnr or find_task_by_vpid) were
_all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace. After this each call
like xxx_nr_ns(foo, current->nsproxy->pid_ns) is nothing but a xxx_vnr(foo)
one.
Switch all the xxx_nr_ns() callers to use the xxx_vnr() calls where
appropriate.

signal_struct->tsk points to the ->group_leader and thus we have the nasty
code in de_thread() which has to change it and restart ->real_timer if the
leader is changed.
Use "struct pid *leader_pid" instead. This also allows us to kill now
unneeded send_group_sig_info().

kill_pid_info()->pid_task() could be the old leader of the execing process.
In that case it is possible that the leader will be released before we take
siglock. This means that kill_pid_info() (and thus sys_kill()) can return a
false -ESRCH.
Change the code to retry when lock_task_sighand() fails. The endless loop is
not possible, __exit_signal() both clears ->sighand and does detach_pid().

pid_vnr returns the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace the
struct pid was allocated in. What we want before we return a pid to user
space is the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace of current.
pid_vnr is a very nice optimization but because it isn't quite what we want
it is easy to use pid_vnr at times when we aren't certain the struct pid
was allocated in our pid namespace.
Currently this describes at least tiocgpgrp and tiocgsid in ttyio.c the
parent process reported in the core dumps and the parent process in
get_signal_to_deliver.
So unless the performance impact is huge having an interface that does what
we want instead of always what we want should be much more reliable and
much less error prone.

This modifies do_wait and eligible child to take a pair of enum pid_type
and struct pid *pid to precisely specify what set of processes are eligible
to be waited for, instead of the raw pid_t value from sys_wait4.
This fixes a bug in sys_waitid where you could not wait for children in
just process group 1.
This fixes a pid namespace crossing case in eligible_child. Allowing us to
wait for a processes in our current process group even if our current
process group == 0.
This allows the no child with this pid case to be optimized. This allows
us to optimize the pid membership test in eligible child to be optimized.
This even closes a theoretical pid wraparound race where in a threaded
parent if two threads are waiting for the same child and one thread picks
up the child and the pid numbers wrap around and generate another child
with that same pid before the other thread is scheduled (teribly insanely
unlikely) we could end up waiting on the second child with the same pid#
and not discover that the specific child we were waiting for has exited.

The previous bugfix was not optimal, we shouldn't care about group stop
when we are the only thread or the group stop is in progress. In that case
nothing special is needed, just set PF_EXITING and return.
Also, take the related "TIF_SIGPENDING re-targeting" code from exit_notify().
So, from the performance POV the only difference is that we don't trust
!signal_pending() until we take ->siglock. But this in fact fixes another
___pure___ theoretical minor race. __group_complete_signal() finds the
task without PF_EXITING and chooses it as the target for signal_wake_up().
But nothing prevents this task from exiting in between without noticing the
pending signal and thus unpredictably delaying the actual delivery.
