Change schedule_on_each_cpu() to use flush_work() instead of
flush_workqueue(), this way we don't wait for other work_struct's which
can be queued meanwhile.

Most of users of flush_workqueue() can be changed to use cancel_work_sync(),
but sometimes we really need to wait for the completion and cancelling is not
an option. schedule_on_each_cpu() is good example.
Add the new helper, flush_work(work), which waits for the completion of the
specific work_struct. More precisely, it "flushes" the result of of the last
queue_work() which is visible to the caller.
For example, this code
queue_work(wq, work);
/* WINDOW */
queue_work(wq, work);
flush_work(work);
doesn't necessary work "as expected". What can happen in the WINDOW above is
- wq starts the execution of work->func()
- the caller migrates to another CPU
now, after the 2nd queue_work() this work is active on the previous CPU, and
at the same time it is queued on another. In this case flush_work(work) may
return before the first work->func() completes.
It is trivial to add another helper
int flush_work_sync(struct work_struct *work)
{
return flush_work(work) || wait_on_work(work);
}
which works "more correctly", but it has to iterate over all CPUs and thus
it much slower than flush_work().

insert_work() inserts the new work_struct before or after cwq->worklist,
depending on the "int tail" parameter. Change it to accept "list_head *"
instead, this shrinks .text a bit and allows us to insert the barrier
after specific work_struct.

Now that we have core_state->dumper list we can use it to wake up the
sub-threads waiting for the coredump completion.
This uglifies the code and .text grows by 47 bytes, but otoh mm_struct
lessens by sizeof(struct completion). Also, with this change we can
decouple exit_mm() from the coredumping code.

binfmt->core_dump() has to iterate over the all threads in system in order
to find the coredumping threads and construct the list using the
GFP_ATOMIC allocations.
With this patch each thread allocates the list node on exit_mm()'s stack and
adds itself to the list.
This allows us to do further changes:
- simplify ->core_dump()
- change exit_mm() to clear ->mm first, then wait for ->core_done.
this makes the coredumping process visible to oom_kill
- kill mm->core_done

Move mm->core_waiters into "struct core_state" allocated on stack. This
shrinks mm_struct a little bit and allows further changes.
This patch mostly does s/core_waiters/core_state. The only essential
change is that coredump_wait() must clear mm->core_state before return.
The coredump_wait()'s path is uglified and .text grows by 30 bytes, this
is fixed by the next patch.

mm->core_startup_done points to "struct completion startup_done" allocated
on the coredump_wait()'s stack. Introduce the new structure, core_state,
which holds this "struct completion". This way we can add more info
visible to the threads participating in coredump without enlarging
mm_struct.

Kill PF_BORROWED_MM. Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and
do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users.
No functional changes yet. But this allows us to do further
fixes/cleanups.
oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the
kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with
PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races. With this
patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper:
/* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */
struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk)
{
if (tsk->flags & PF_KTHREAD)
return NULL;
return tsk->mm;
}
Note also ecard_task(). It runs with ->mm != NULL, but it's the kernel
thread without PF_BORROWED_MM.

Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads. It is set
by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in
kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead).
daemonize() was changed as well. In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is
racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway.
This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler().
Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in
start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC. But I think this
doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die
soon.

1. SIGKILL can't be blocked, remove this check from sigkill_pending().
2. When ptrace_stop() sees sigkill_pending() == T, it can just return.
Kill "int killed" and simplify the code. This also is more correct,
the tracer shouldn't see us in TASK_TRACED if we are not going to
stop.
I strongly believe this code needs further changes. We should do the "was
this task killed" check unconditionally, currently it depends on
arch_ptrace_stop_needed(). On the other hand, sigkill_pending() isn't
very clever. If the task was killed tkill(SIGKILL), the signal can be
already dequeued if the caller is do_exit().

In the switch to configurable HZ in 2.6, the treatment of the si_utime and
si_stime fields that are exposed to userland via the siginfo structure
looks to have been botched. As things stand, these fields report times in
units of HZ, so that userland gets information that varies depending on
the HZ that the kernel was configured with. This patch changes the
reported values to use USER_HZ units.

SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
dequeue_signal() checks SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT before setting
SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED. This was added by
788e05a67c343fa22f2ae1d3ca264e7f15c25eaf a long ago to avoid the
coredump/SIGSTOP race.
Since then the related code was changed, and now this subtle check is both
incomplete and unneeded at the same time. It is incomplete because
nowadays exec() doesn't set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, so in fact we should check
signal_group_exit() to avoid a similar race. Fortunately, we doesn't need
the check at all. The only function which relies on SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
is do_signal_stop(), and it ignores this flag if signal_group_exit() == T,
this covers the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT case.

sys_timer_delete() and itimer_delete() check "timer->it_process != NULL",
this looks completely bogus. ->it_process == NULL means that this timer
is already under destruction or it is not fully initialized, this must not
happen.
sys_timer_delete: the timer is locked, and lock_timer() can't succeed
if ->it_process == NULL.
itimer_delete: it is called by exit_itimers() when there are no other
threads which can play with signal_struct->posix_timers.

In cpuset_update_task_memory_state() local variable struct task_struct
*tsk = current;
And local variable tsk is used 14 times and statement task_cs(tsk) is used
twice in this function. So using task_cs(tsk) instead of task_cs(current)
is better for readability.
And "(struct cgroup_scanner *)&scan" is not good for readability also.

"(cpuset_hotplug_scanner *)scan")

I found that all these empty cpumasks are passed to

It also reduce memory consumed and some works in rebuild_sched_domains()

offline/online
The bug is that a task may run on the cpu/node which is not in its
cpuset.cpus/ cpuset.mems.
It can be reproduced by the following commands:
-----------------------------------
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0-1 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
-----------------------------------
There is only CPU0 in cpuset.cpus, but the task in this cpuset runs on
both CPU0 and CPU1.
It is because the task's cpu_allowed didn't get updated after we did CPU
offline/online manipulation. Similar for mem_allowed.
This patch fixes this bug expect for root cpuset. Because there is a
problem about root cpuset, in that whether it is necessary to update all
the tasks in root cpuset or not after cpu/node offline/online.
If updating, some kernel threads which is bound into a specified cpu will
be unbound.
If not updating, there is a bug in root cpuset. This bug is also caused
by offline/online manipulation. For example, there is a dual-cpu machine.
we create a sub cpuset in root cpuset and assign 1 to its cpus. And then
we attach some tasks into this sub cpuset. After this, we offline CPU1.
Now, the tasks in this new cpuset are moved into root cpuset automatically
because there is no cpu in sub cpuset. Then we online CPU1, we find all
the tasks which doesn't belong to root cpuset originally just run on CPU0.
Maybe we need to add a flag in the task_struct to mark which task can't be
unbound?

cgroup_clone creates a new cgroup with the pid of the task. This works
correctly for unshare, but for clone cgroup_clone is called from
copy_namespaces inside copy_process, which happens before the new pid is
created. As a result, the new cgroup was created with current's pid.
This patch:
1. Moves the call inside copy_process to after the new pid
is created
2. Passes the struct pid into ns_cgroup_clone (as it is not
yet attached to the task)
3. Passes a name from ns_cgroup_clone() into cgroup_clone()
so as to keep cgroup_clone() itself simpler
4. Uses pid_vnr() to get the process id value, so that the
pid used to name the new cgroup is always the pid as it
would be known to the task which did the cloning or
unsharing. I think that is the most intuitive thing to
do. This way, task t1 does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get
t2, which does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get t3, then the
cgroup for t3 will be named for the pid by which t2 knows
t3.
(Thanks to Dan Smith for finding the main bug)
Changelog:
June 11: Incorporate Paul Menage's feedback: don't pass
NULL to ns_cgroup_clone from unshare, and reduce
patch size by using 'nodename' in cgroup_clone.

Currently res_counter_write() is a raw file handler even though it's
ultimately taking a number, since in some cases it wants to
pre-process the string when converting it to a number.
This patch converts res_counter_write() from a raw file handler to a
write_string() handler; this allows some of the boilerplate
copying/locking/checking to be removed, and simplies the cleanup path,
since these functions are now performed by the cgroups framework.

- pair cgroup_lock_live_group() with cgroup_unlock() in cgroup.c for
clarity, rather than directly unlocking cgroup_mutex.
- make the return type of cgroup_lock_live_group() a bool
- use a #define'd constant for the local buffer size in read/write functions

Adds cgroup_release_agent_write() and cgroup_release_agent_show()
methods to handle writing/reading the path to a cgroup hierarchy's
release agent. As a result, cgroup_common_file_read() is now unnecessary.
As part of the change, a previously-tolerated race in

This patch adds a write_string() method for cgroups control files. The
semantics are that a buffer is copied from userspace to kernelspace
and the handler function invoked on that buffer. The buffer is
guaranteed to be nul-terminated, and no longer than max_write_len
(defaulting to 64 bytes if unspecified). Later patches will convert
existing raw file write handlers in control group subsystems to use
this method.

Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).
Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.
Solution:
1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have
two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
lock for kretporbe object.
2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent
deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
lock.
3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
table.
Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.

All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages
(callbacks) will be lost.
For example:
a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1)
b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will
will be supressed.
- rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter. Thanks for
hints from andrew.
- Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h
- remove __printk_ratelimit
- use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit

We duplicate alloc/free_thread_info defines on many platforms (the
majority uses __get_free_pages/free_pages). This patch defines common
defines and removes these duplicated defines.
__HAVE_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR is introduced for platforms that do
something different.

Presently call_usermodehelper_setup() uses GFP_ATOMIC. but it can return
NULL _very_ easily.
GFP_ATOMIC is needed only when we can't sleep. and, GFP_KERNEL is robust
and better.
thus, I add gfp_mask argument to call_usermodehelper_setup().
So, its callers pass the gfp_t as below:
call_usermodehelper() and call_usermodehelper_keys():
depend on 'wait' argument.
call_usermodehelper_pipe():
always GFP_KERNEL because always run under process context.
orderly_poweroff():
pass to GFP_ATOMIC because may run under interrupt context.

Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled.
This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller.
As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are
now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are
measurable effects).
This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think
having more than two choices would be the better choice.
This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes
of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy
functions.
