aoe: remove unecessary wrapper function

We can just use skb_mac_header now, and we don't need a wrapper function to
perform the cast.  Instead of requiring the reader to check aoe.h to look
up what an aoe_hdr function does, I'd rather do without it.

Add MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS

This adds the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS option to /proc/pid/coredump_filter.
This dumps the first page (only) of a private file mapping if it appears to
be a mapping of an ELF file.  Including these pages in the core dump may
give sufficient identifying information to associate the original DSO and
executable file images and their debugging information with a core file in
a generic way just from its contents (e.g.  when those binaries were built
with ld --build-id).  I expect this to become the default behavior
eventually.  Existing versions of gdb can be confused by the core dumps it
creates, so it won't enabled by default for some time to come.  Soon many
people will have systems with a gdb that handle these dumps, so they can
arrange to set the bit at boot and have it inherited system-wide.

This also cleans up the checking of the MMF_DUMP_* flag bits, which did not
need to be using atomic macros.

wait_task_zombie: fix 2/3 races vs forget_original_parent()

Two threads, T1 and T2.  T2 ptraces P, and P is not a child of ptracer's
thread group.  P exits and goes to TASK_ZOMBIE.

T1 does wait_task_zombie(P):

P->exit_state = TASK_DEAD;
...
read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);

T2 does exit(), takes tasklist,
forget_original_parent() does
__ptrace_unlink(P) but doesn't
call do_notify_parent(P) because
p->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD.

Now, P is not visible to our process: __ptrace_unlink() removed it from
->children. We should send notification to P->parent and release P if and
only if SIGCHLD is ignored.

And we have 3 bugs:

1. P->parent does do_wait() and gets -ECHILD (P is on ->parent->children,
   but its state is TASK_DEAD).

2. // wait_task_zombie() continues

if (put_user(...)) {
// TODO: is this safe?
p->exit_state = EXIT_ZOMBIE;
return;
}

   we return without notification/release, task_struct leaked.

   Solution: ignore -EFAULT and proceed. It is an application's bug if
   we can't fill infop/stat_addr (in case of VM_FAULT_OOM we have much
   more problems).

3. // wait_task_zombie() continues

if (p->real_parent != p->parent) {
// Not taken, it was untraced'ed
...
}

release_task(p);

   we released the task which we shouldn't.

   Solution: check ->real_parent != ->parent before, under tasklist_lock,
   but use ptrace_unlink() instead of __ptrace_unlink() to check ->ptrace.

This patch hopefully solves 2 and 3, the 1st bug will be fixed later, we need
some cleanups in forget_original_parent/reparent_thread.

However, the first race is very unlikely and not critical, so I hope it makes
sense to fix 1 and 2 for now.

4. Small cleanup: don't "restore" EXIT_ZOMBIE unless we know we are not going
   to realease the child.

analog of the linux/elfcore.h header.  Each arch that needs to fake out

handle the multi-threaded init's exit() properly

With or without this patch, multi-threaded init's are not fully supported,
but do_exit() is completely wrong.  This becomes a real problem when we
support pid namespaces.

1. do_exit() panics when the main thread of /sbin/init exits. It should not
   until the whole thread group exits. Move the code below, under the
   "if (group_dead)" check.

   Note: this means that forget_original_parent() can use an already dead
   child_reaper()'s task_struct. This is OK for /sbin/init because

    - do_wait() from alive sub-thread still can reap a zombie, we iterate
      over all sub-thread's ->children lists

    - do_notify_parent() will wakeup some alive sub-thread because it sends
      the group-wide signal

   However, we should remove choose_new_parent()->BUG_ON(reaper->exit_state)
   for this.

2. We are playing games with ->nsproxy->pid_ns. This code is bogus today, and
   it has to be changed anyway when we really support pid namespaces, just
   remove it.

Deprecate a.out ELF interpreters

The Linux ELF loader is quite complicated and messy code (that could
probably need a rewrite, but that's a different chapter).  One particular
messy part in it is the support for non ELF a.out ld.sos.  This was
originally added to make transition from a.out to ELF easier because an
a.out ELF ld.so could be still build using an older a.out toolkit.  But by
now that should be fully obsolete and removing it would clean up
binfmt_elf.c up a bit.

I propose to deprecate this support and remove for 2.6.25.

Drawback is that someone still runs their system with a.out ld.so
they would need to update the ld.so when updating to a new kernel.

This patch just adds an entry to the deprecation file and a printk

core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe

For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core.  This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced.  Specifically:

1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
   when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
   consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
   at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
   restrictions.

2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
   user space helper as an argv array.  The real core limit of the uid of the
   crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
   is overridden to zero when called).

3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
   recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
   crash.  Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
   mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
   the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
   deadlock.

This patch:

Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe.  In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

report the per-irq statistics on all arches

Commit 4004c69ad68dd03733179277280ea2946990ba36 avoids too many remote cpu
references while reporting per-irq stats.  Since we will not have the same
performance penalty of bringing in remote cpu cachelines while reporting
per-irq stats anymore, we can now afford to be consistent and report this

akpm: affects ia64, alpha and ppc64, mainly.

Kiran earlier said:

Read to /proc/stat takes:
Plain:  2.622832
With speedup patch: 0.013194
With the per-irq stats commented out: 0.008124

So the performance problems which originally caused those architectures to
disable this statistic should now be fixed up.

ext2: show all mount options

Using mtab is problematic for various reasons, one of them is that
unprivileged mounts won't turn up in there.  So we want to get rid of it, and
use /proc/mounts instead.

But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options.  Which
means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the
options.

It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and
show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems.  But this is not
easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and
not tough the rest.  This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so
/etc/mtab will be broken in this case.

This series fixes up ->show_options() in ext[234].

Driver for the Atmel on-chip SSC on AT32AP and AT91

The Synchronous Serial Controller (SSC) on Atmel microprocessors are
capable of tranceiving many frame based protocols, like I2S.  Tested on the
AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000.

This driver is used in the ALSA sound driver for the AT73C213 external DAC
on the ATSTK1000 development board for AVR32.  This sound driver will be
submitted soon.

Hardware documentation can be found in the AT32AP7000 data sheet, which can
be downloaded from

This is also useful if the lockup happens in user-space - the user-space
EIP (and other registers) will be printed too. (such a lockup would
either suggest that the task was running at SCHED_FIFO:99 and looping

mm: test and set zone reclaim lock before starting reclaim

Introduces new zone flag interface for testing and setting flags:

int zone_test_and_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)

Instead of setting and clearing ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED each time shrink_zone() is
called, this flag is test and set before starting zone reclaim.  Zone reclaim
starts in __alloc_pages() when a zone's watermark fails and the system is in
zone_reclaim_mode.  If it's already in reclaim, there's no need to start again
so it is simply considered full for that allocation attempt.

There is a change of behavior with regard to concurrent zone shrinking.  It is
now possible for try_to_free_pages() or kswapd to already be shrinking a
particular zone when __alloc_pages() starts zone reclaim.  In this case, it is
possible for two concurrent threads to invoke shrink_zone() for a single zone.

This change forbids a zone to be in zone reclaim twice, which was always the
behavior, but allows for concurrent try_to_free_pages() or kswapd shrinking
when starting zone reclaim.

oom: serialize out of memory calls

A final allocation attempt with a very high watermark needs to be attempted
before invoking out_of_memory().  OOM killer serialization needs to occur
before this final attempt, otherwise tasks attempting to OOM-lock all zones in
its zonelist may spin and acquire the lock unnecessarily after the OOM
condition has already been alleviated.

If the final allocation does succeed, the zonelist is simply OOM-unlocked and
__alloc_pages() returns the page.  Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked.

If the task cannot acquire OOM-locks on all zones in its zonelist, it is put
to sleep and the allocation is retried when it gets rescheduled.  One of its
zones is already marked as being in the OOM killer so it'll hopefully be
getting some free memory soon, at least enough to satisfy a high watermark
allocation attempt.  This prevents needlessly killing a task when the OOM
condition would have already been alleviated if it had simply been given
enough time.

policy and cpuset allocations may have their corresponding zones locked and
allow parallel kills for other OOM conditions that may exist elsewhere in the
system.  DMA allocations can be targeted at the zone level, which would not be
possible if locking was done in nodes or globally.

Synchronization shall be done with a variation of "trylocks." The goal is to
put the current task to sleep and restart the failed allocation attempt later
if the trylock fails.  Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked.

Each zone in the zonelist that __alloc_pages() was called with is checked for
the newly-introduced ZONE_OOM_LOCKED flag.  If any zone has this flag present,
the "trylock" to serialize the OOM killer fails and returns zero.  Otherwise,
all the zones have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set and the try_set_zone_oom() function
returns non-zero.

oom: change all_unreclaimable zone member to flags

Convert the int all_unreclaimable member of struct zone to unsigned long
flags.  This can now be used to specify several different zone flags such as
all_unreclaimable and reclaim_in_progress, which can now be removed and
converted to a per-zone flag.

Flags are set and cleared as follows:

zone_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)
zone_clear_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)

Defines the first zone flags, ZONE_ALL_UNRECLAIMABLE and ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED,
which have the same semantics as the old zone->all_unreclaimable and
zone->reclaim_in_progress, respectively.  Also converts all current users that
set or clear either flag to use the new interface.

Helper functions are defined to test the flags:

int zone_is_all_unreclaimable(const struct zone *zone)
int zone_is_reclaim_locked(const struct zone *zone)

All flag operators are of the atomic variety because there are currently
readers that are implemented that do not take zone->lock.

oom: move constraints to enum

The OOM killer's CONSTRAINT definitions are really more appropriate in an
enum, so define them in include/linux/oom.h.

Move the OOM killer's extern function prototypes to include/linux/oom.h and
include it where necessary.

Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters

Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used.  And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions.  The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

Convert

        ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)

to

        ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)

throughout the kernel

SLUB: simplify IRQ off handling

Move irq handling out of new slab into __slab_alloc.  That is useful for
Mathieu's cmpxchg_local patchset and also allows us to remove the crude
local_irq_off in early_kmem_cache_alloc().
