sys_delete_module() can set MODULE_STATE_GOING after

set_binfmt()->try_module_get() fails but since none of the callers
check the returned error, the task will run with the wrong old

exec: allow do_coredump() to wait for user space pipe readers to complete
Allow core_pattern pipes to wait for user space to complete
One of the things that user space processes like to do is look at metadata
for a crashing process in their /proc/<pid> directory. this is racy
however, since do_coredump in the kernel doesn't wait for the user space
process to complete before it reaps the crashing process. This patch
corrects that. Allowing the kernel to wait for the user space process to
complete before cleaning up the crashing process. This is a bit tricky to
do for a few reasons:
1) The user space process isn't our child, so we can't sys_wait4 on it
2) We need to close the pipe before waiting for the user process to complete,
since the user process may rely on an EOF condition
I've discussed several solutions with Oleg Nesterov off-list about this,
and this is the one we've come up with. We add ourselves as a pipe reader
(to prevent premature cleanup of the pipe_inode_info), and remove
ourselves as a writer (to provide an EOF condition to the writer in user
space), then we iterate until the user space process exits (which we
detect by pipe->readers == 1, hence the > 1 check in the loop). When we
exit the loop, we restore the proper reader/writer values, then we return
and let filp_close in do_coredump clean up the pipe data properly.

exec: let do_coredump() limit the number of concurrent dumps to pipes
Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl.
Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem,
we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the
system simply by running bad applications.
If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can
have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system.
This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption.
core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel,
dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log.
A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may
be handled (this is the default value).

exec: make do_coredump() more resilient to recursive crashes
Change how we detect recursive dumps.
Currently we have a mechanism by which we try to compare pathnames of the
crashing process to the core_pattern path. This is broken for a dozen
reasons, and just doesn't work in any sort of robust way.
I'm replacing it with the use of a 0 RLIMIT_CORE value. Since helper apps
set RLIMIT_CORE to zero, we don't write out core files for any process
with that particular limit set. It the core_pattern is a pipe, any
non-zero limit is translated to RLIM_INFINITY.
This allows complete dumps to be captured, but prevents infinite recursion
in the event that the core_pattern process itself crashes.

This also folds the finish_stop() function into its caller

memcg: improve resource counter scalability
Reduce the resource counter overhead (mostly spinlock) associated with the
root cgroup. This is a part of the several patches to reduce mem cgroup
overhead. I had posted other approaches earlier (including using percpu
counters). Those patches will be a natural addition and will be added
iteratively on top of these.
The patch stops resource counter accounting for the root cgroup. The data
for display is derived from the statisitcs we maintain via
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics (which is more scalable). What happens today
is that, we do double accounting, once using res_counter_charge() and once
using memory_cgroup_charge_statistics(). For the root, since we don't
implement limits any more, we don't need to track every charge via
res_counter_charge() and check for limit being exceeded and reclaim.
The main mem->res usage_in_bytes can be derived by summing the cache and
rss usage data from memory statistics (MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE). However, for memsw->res usage_in_bytes, we need
additional data about swapped out memory. This patch adds a
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT and uses that along with MEM_CGROUP_STAT_RSS and
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_CACHE to derive the memsw data. This data is computed
recursively when hierarchy is enabled.
The tests results I see on a 24 way show that
1. The lock contention disappears from /proc/lock_stats
2. The results of the test are comparable to running with
cgroup_disable=memory.

path).
memory cgroup soft limit reclaim finds the group that exceeds its soft
limit by the largest number of pages and reclaims pages from it and then
reinserts the cgroup into its correct place in the rbtree.
Add additional checks to mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() to detect long
loops in case all swap is turned off. The code has been refactored and
the loop check (loop < 2) has been enhanced for soft limits. For soft
limits, we try to do more targetted reclaim. Instead of bailing out after
two loops, the routine now reclaims memory proportional to the size by
which the soft limit is exceeded. The proportion has been empirically
determined.

memory controller: soft limit interface
Add an interface to allow get/set of soft limits. Soft limits for memory
plus swap controller (memsw) is currently not supported. Resource
counters have been enhanced to support soft limits and new type
RES_SOFT_LIMIT has been added. Unlike hard limits, soft limits can be
directly set and do not need any reclaim or checks before setting them to
a newer value.
Kamezawa-San raised a question as to whether soft limit should belong to
res_counter. Since all resources understand the basic concepts of hard
and soft limits, it is justified to add soft limits here. Soft limits are
a generic resource usage feature, even file system quotas support soft
limits.

memory controller: soft limit documentation
Soft limits is a new feature for the memory resource controller, something
similar has existed in the group scheduler in the form of shares. The CPU
controllers interpretation of shares is very different though.
Soft limits are the most useful feature to have for environments where the
administrator wants to overcommit the system, such that only on memory
contention do the limits become active. The current soft limits
implementation provides a soft_limit_in_bytes interface for the memory
controller and not for memory+swap controller. The implementation
maintains an RB-Tree of groups that exceed their soft limit and starts
reclaiming from the group that exceeds this limit by the maximum amount.

cgroups: revert "cgroups: fix pid namespace bug"
The following series adds a "cgroup.procs" file to each cgroup that
reports unique tgids rather than pids, and allows all threads in a
threadgroup to be atomically moved to a new cgroup.
The subsystem "attach" interface is modified to support attaching whole
threadgroups at a time, which could introduce potential problems if any
subsystem were to need to access the old cgroup of every thread being
moved. The attach interface may need to be revised if this becomes the
case.
Also added is functionality for read/write locking all CLONE_THREAD
fork()ing within a threadgroup, by means of an rwsem that lives in the
sighand_struct, for per-threadgroup-ness and also for sharing a cacheline
with the sighand's atomic count. This scheme should introduce no extra
overhead in the fork path when there's no contention.
The final patch reveals potential for a race when forking before a
subsystem's attach function is called - one potential solution in case any
subsystem has this problem is to hang on to the group's fork mutex through
the attach() calls, though no subsystem yet demonstrates need for an
extended critical section.

cgroups: allow cgroup hierarchies to be created with no bound subsystems
This patch removes the restriction that a cgroup hierarchy must have at
least one bound subsystem. The mount option "none" is treated as an
explicit request for no bound subsystems.
A hierarchy with no subsystems can be useful for plain task tracking, and
is also a step towards the support for multiply-bindable subsystems.
As part of this change, the hierarchy id is no longer calculated from the
bitmask of subsystems in the hierarchy (since this is not guaranteed to be
unique) but is allocated via an ida. Reference counts on cgroups from
css_set objects are now taken explicitly one per hierarchy, rather than
one per subsystem.
Example usage:
mount -t cgroup -o none,name=foo cgroup /mnt/cgroup

This patch removes the need for that assumption by adding a back-pointer

It happens because the new INPUT_WINBOND_CIR driver relies on new-leds
infrastructure - but does not select it in drivers/input/misc/Kconfig.
But it selects LEDS_CLASS, which confuses a number of other drivers into
thinking that all the leds infrastructure is in place.
Fix this by selecting NEW_LEDS as well, like similar drivers do.
Eventually, this whole leds infrastructure complexity should be
cleaned up, it's been going on for years.

Revert "kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code"
This reverts commit
c02e3f361c7 ("kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code")
The patch is wrong. UMH_WAIT_EXEC is called with VFORK what ensures
that the child finishes prior returing back to the parent. No race.
In fact, the patch makes it even worse because it does the thing it
claims not do:
- It calls ->complete() on UMH_WAIT_EXEC
- the complete() callback may de-allocated subinfo as seen in the
following call chain:
[<
c009f904>] (__link_path_walk+0x20/0xeb4) from [<
c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94)
[<
c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94) from [<

[<
c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148) from [<
c0024858>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8)
and the path pointer was NULL. Good that ARM's kernel_execve()
doesn't check the pointer for NULL or else I wouldn't notice it.
The only race there might be is with UMH_NO_WAIT but it is too late for
me to investigate it now. UMH_WAIT_PROC could probably also use VFORK
and we could save one exec. So the only race I see is with UMH_NO_WAIT
and recent scheduler changes where the child does not always run first
might have trigger here something but as I said, it is late....

hwmon: (ltc4245) Clear faults at startup
When power is applied to the ltc4245 chip it sometimes reports spurious
faults, which are exposed as alarms in the hwmon output. Clear the fault
register when the driver is installed to clear the alarms.

hwmon: (ltc4215) Clear faults at startup
When power is applied to the ltc4215 chip it sometimes reports spurious
faults. The faults are not yet exposed via sysfs, however it may be useful
for userspace to read the fault register directly with the i2cget command.
Clear the fault register when the driver is installed so userspace doesn't
have to worry about spurious fault indications.

Following patch adds support for mobile Penryn CPUs. Intel documents this
poorly. I asked the Coretemp author for some help. This is totally untested and
may not work. Please test!
