fbdev: sh_mobile_lcdcfb: fix module lock acquisition
Whenever the LCDC is to be started or stopped, a board callback is
checked for existence and invoked. Prior to the invokation, the
callback's module lock is also acquired, to be released once the
callback returns. However, the order of testing makes it possible for
the lock to be acquired and not released in case the callback does not
exist. This patch reorders the tests to prevent this particular case.

The 'PG_checked' flag is used to indicate that the page does not
supposedly exist on the media (e.g., a hole or a page beyond the
inode size), so it requires slightly bigger budget, because we have
to account the indexing size increase. And this flag basically
tells that the budget for this page has to be "new page budget".
The "new page budget" is slightly bigger than the "existing page
budget".
The 'do_readpage()' function has the following assertion which
sometimes is hit: 'ubifs_assert(!PageChecked(page))'. Obviously,
the meaning of this assertion is: "I should not be asked to read
a page which does not exist on the media".
However, in 'ubifs_write_begin()' we have a small "trick". Notice,
that VFS may write pages which were not read yet, so the page data
were not loaded from the media to the page cache yet. If VFS tells
that it is going to change only some part of the page, we obviously
have to load it from the media. However, if VFS tells that it is
going to change whole page, we do not read it from the media for
optimization purposes.
However, since we do not read it, we do not know if it exists on
the media or not (a hole, etc). So we set the 'PG_checked' flag
to this page to force bigger budget, just in case.
So 'ubifs_write_begin()' sets 'PG_checked'. Then we are in
'ubifs_write_end()'. And VFS tells us: "hey, for some reasons I
changed my mind and did not change whole page". Frankly, I do not
know why this happens, but I hit this somehow on an ARM platform.
And this is extremely rare.
So in this case UBIFS does the following:
1. Cancels allocated budget.
2. Loads the page from the media by calling 'do_readpage()'.
3. Asks VFS to repeat the whole write operation from the very
beginning (call '->write_begin() again, etc).
And the assertion warning is hit at the step 2 - remember we have
the 'PG_checked' set for this page, and 'do_readpage()' does not
like this. So this patch fixes the problem by adding step 1.5 and
cleaning the 'PG_checked' before calling 'do_readpage()'.
All in all, this patch does not fix any functionality issue, but it
silences UBIFS false positive warning which may happen in very very
rare cases.
And while on it, this patch also improves a commentary which explains
the reasons of setting the 'PG_checked' flag for the page. The old
commentary was a bit difficult to understand.

userns: security: make capabilities relative to the user namespace

The motivation is to get to the unprivileged creation of new

userns: add a user_namespace as creator/owner of uts_namespace
The expected course of development for user namespaces targeted
capabilities is laid out at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserNamespace.
Goals:
- Make it safe for an unprivileged user to unshare namespaces. They
will be privileged with respect to the new namespace, but this should
only include resources which the unprivileged user already owns.
- Provide separate limits and accounting for userids in different
namespaces.
Status:
Currently (as of 2.6.38) you can clone with the CLONE_NEWUSER flag to
get a new user namespace if you have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and
CAP_SETGID capabilities. What this gets you is a whole new set of
userids, meaning that user 500 will have a different 'struct user' in
your namespace than in other namespaces. So any accounting information
stored in struct user will be unique to your namespace.
However, throughout the kernel there are checks which
- simply check for a capability. Since root in a child namespace
has all capabilities, this means that a child namespace is not
constrained.
- simply compare uid1 == uid2. Since these are the integer uids,
uid 500 in namespace 1 will be said to be equal to uid 500 in
namespace 2.
As a result, the lxc implementation at lxc.sf.net does not use user
namespaces. This is actually helpful because it leaves us free to
develop user namespaces in such a way that, for some time, user
namespaces may be unuseful.
Bugs aside, this patchset is supposed to not at all affect systems which
are not actively using user namespaces, and only restrict what tasks in
child user namespace can do. They begin to limit privilege to a user
namespace, so that root in a container cannot kill or ptrace tasks in the
parent user namespace, and can only get world access rights to files.
Since all files currently belong to the initila user namespace, that means
that child user namespaces can only get world access rights to *all*
files. While this temporarily makes user namespaces bad for system
containers, it starts to get useful for some sandboxing.
I've run the 'runltplite.sh' with and without this patchset and found no
difference.
This patch:
copy_process() handles CLONE_NEWUSER before the rest of the namespaces.
So in the case of clone(CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWUTS) the new uts namespace
will have the new user namespace as its owner. That is what we want,
since we want root in that new userns to be able to have privilege over
it.
Changelog:
Feb 15: don't set uts_ns->user_ns if we didn't create
a new uts_ns.
Feb 23: Move extern init_user_ns declaration from
init/version.c to utsname.h.

This is an issue when e.g. LXC (Linux Containers) are used and complete
user space is running without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. A unprivileged and jailed
root user can bypass the dmesg_restrict protection.
With this patch writing to dmesg_restrict is only allowed when root has
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

"struct proc_dir_entry" is not that countless to worry about it's size,

This is identical to the global oom killer and is done even before
checking for panic_on_oom: a pending SIGKILL here while panic_on_oom is

access to memory reserves to exit and thus we don't unnecessarily panic

This implies the page is _on_ LRU when it's added to radix-tree. So, the
page is added to memory cgroup while it's on LRU. because LRU is lazy and
no one flushs it.
This is the same behavior as SwapCache and needs special care as
- remove page from LRU before overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
- add page to LRU after overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
And we need to taking care of pagevec.
If PageLRU(page) is set before we add PCG_USED bit, the page will not be
added to memcg's LRU (in short period). So, regardlress of PageLRU(page)
value before commit_charge(), we need to check PageLRU(page) after
commit_charge().

memcg: page_cgroup array is never stored on reserved pages
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki noted that free_pages_cgroup doesn't have to check for
PageReserved because we never store the array on reserved pages (neither
alloc_pages_exact nor vmalloc use those pages).
So we can replace the check by a BUG_ON.

page_cgroup: reduce allocation overhead for page_cgroup array for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM
Currently we are allocating a single page_cgroup array per memory section
(stored in mem_section->base) when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is selected. This is
correct but memory inefficient solution because the allocated memory
(unless we fall back to vmalloc) is not kmalloc friendly:
- 32b - 16384 entries (20B per entry) fit into
327680B so the
524288B slab cache is used
- 32b with PAE - 131072 entries with
2621440B fit into
4194304B
- 64b - 32768 entries (40B per entry) fit into
2097152 cache
This is ~37% wasted space per memory section and it sumps up for the whole
memory. On a x86_64 machine it is something like 6MB per 1GB of RAM.
We can reduce the internal fragmentation by using alloc_pages_exact which
allocates PAGE_SIZE aligned blocks so we will get down to <4kB wasted
memory per section which is much better.
We still need a fallback to vmalloc because we have no guarantees that we
will have a continuous memory of that size (order-10) later on during the
hotplug events.

memcg: break out event counters from other stats
For increasing and decreasing per-cpu cgroup usage counters it makes sense
to use signed types, as single per-cpu values might go negative during
updates. But this is not the case for only-ever-increasing event
counters.
All the counters have been signed 64-bit so far, which was enough to count
events even with the sign bit wasted.
This patch:
- divides s64 counters into signed usage counters and unsigned
monotonically increasing event counters.
- converts unsigned event counters into 'unsigned long' rather than
'u64'. This matches the type used by the /proc/vmstat event counters.
The next patch narrows the signed usage counters type (on 32-bit CPUs,
that is).

memcg: condense page_cgroup-to-page lookup points
The per-cgroup LRU lists string up 'struct page_cgroup's. To get from

Currently, the lookup is done through a direct pointer in struct
page_cgroup, so a lot of functions down the callchain do this lookup by
themselves instead of receiving the page pointer from their callers.
The next patch removes this pointer, however, and the lookup is no longer
that straight-forward. In preparation for that, this patch only leaves
the non-optional lookups when coming directly from the LRU list and passes

memcg: no uncharged pages reach page_cgroup_zoneinfo
This patch series removes the direct page pointer from struct page_cgroup,
which saves 20% of per-page memcg memory overhead (Fedora and Ubuntu
enable memcg per default, openSUSE apparently too).
The node id or section number is encoded in the remaining free bits of
pc->flags which allows calculating the corresponding page without the
extra pointer.
I ran, what I think is, a worst-case microbenchmark that just cats a large
sparse file to /dev/null, because it means that walking the LRU list on
behalf of per-cgroup reclaim and looking up pages from page_cgroups is
happening constantly and at a high rate. But it made no measurable
difference. A profile reported a 0.11% share of the new
lookup_cgroup_page() function in this benchmark.
This patch:
All callsites check PCG_USED before passing pc->mem_cgroup, so the latter
is never NULL.
