c635a4e1c2 rcu: Separate accounting of callbacks from callback-free CPUs
Currently, callback invocations from callback-free CPUs are accounted to
the CPU that registered the callback, but using the same field that is
used for normal callbacks.  This makes it impossible to determine from
debugfs output whether callbacks are in fact being diverted.  This commit
therefore adds a separate ->n_nocbs_invoked field in the rcu_data structure
in which diverted callback invocations are counted.  RCU's debugfs tracing
still displays normal callback invocations using ci=, but displayed
diverted callbacks with nci=.

3fbfbf7a3b rcu: Add callback-free CPUs
RCU callback execution can add significant OS jitter and also can
degrade both scheduling latency and, in asymmetric multiprocessors,
energy efficiency.  This commit therefore adds the ability for selected
CPUs ("rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter) to have their callbacks offloaded
to kthreads.  If the "rcu_nocb_poll" boot parameter is also specified,
these kthreads will do polling, removing the need for the offloaded
CPUs to do wakeups.  At least one CPU must be doing normal callback
processing: currently CPU 0 cannot be selected as a no-CBs CPU.
In addition, attempts to offline the last normal-CBs CPU will fail.

This feature was inspired by Jim Houston's and Joe Korty's JRCU, and
this commit includes fixes to problems located by Fengguang Wu's
kbuild test robot.

32cdba1e05 uprobes: Use percpu_rw_semaphore to fix register/unregister vs dup_mmap() race
This was always racy, but 268720903f
"uprobes: Rework register_for_each_vma() to make it O(n)" should be
blamed anyway, it made everything worse and I didn't notice.

register/unregister call build_map_info() and then do install/remove
breakpoint for every mm which mmaps inode/offset. This can obviously
race with fork()->dup_mmap() in between and we can miss the child.

uprobe_register() could be easily fixed but unregister is much worse,
the new mm inherits "int3" from parent and there is no way to detect
this if uprobe goes away.

So this patch simply adds percpu_down_read/up_read around dup_mmap(),
and percpu_down_write/up_write into register_for_each_vma().

This adds 2 new hooks into dup_mmap() but we can kill uprobe_dup_mmap()
and fold it into uprobe_end_dup_mmap().

69a37beabf cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode
The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction
fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to
quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving.

cpuidle menu governor has a method to predict the repeat pattern if there are 8
C-states residency which are continuous and the same or very close, so it will
predict the next C-states residency will keep same residency time.

There is a real case that turbostat utility (tools/power/x86/turbostat)
at kernel 3.3 or early. turbostat utility will read 10 registers one by one at
Sandybridge, so it will generate 10 IPIs to wake up idle CPUs. So cpuidle menu
 governor will predict it is repeat mode and there is another IPI wake up idle
 CPU soon, so it keeps idle CPU stay at C1 state even though CPU is totally
idle. However, in the turbostat, following 10 registers reading is sleep 5
seconds by default, so the idle CPU will keep at C1 for a long time though it is
 idle until break event occurs.
In a idle Sandybridge system, run "./turbostat -v", we will notice that deep
C-state dangles between "70% ~ 99%". After patched the kernel, we will notice
deep C-state stays at >99.98%.

In the patch, a timer is added when menu governor detects a repeat mode and
choose a shallow C-state. The timer is set to a time out value that greater
than predicted time, and we conclude repeat mode prediction failure if timer is
triggered. When repeat mode happens as expected, the timer is not triggered
and CPU waken up from C-states and it will cancel the timer initiatively.
When repeat mode does not happen, the timer will be time out and menu governor
will quickly notice that the repeat mode prediction fails and then re-evaluates
deeper C-states possibility.

Below is another case which will clearly show the patch much benefit:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <pthread.h>

volatile int * shutdown;
volatile long * count;
int delay = 20;
int loop = 8;

void usage(void)
{
	fprintf(stderr,
		"Usage: idle_predict [options]\n"
		"  --help	-h  Print this help\n"
		"  --thread	-n  Thread number\n"
		"  --loop     	-l  Loop times in shallow Cstate\n"
		"  --delay	-t  Sleep time (uS)in shallow Cstate\n");
}

void *simple_loop() {
	int idle_num = 1;
	while (!(*shutdown)) {
		*count = *count + 1;

		if (idle_num % loop)
			usleep(delay);
		else {
			/* sleep 1 second */
			usleep(1000000);
			idle_num = 0;
		}
		idle_num++;
	}

}

static void sighand(int sig)
{
	*shutdown = 1;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	sigset_t sigset;
	int signum = SIGALRM;
	int i, c, er = 0, thread_num = 8;
	pthread_t pt[1024];

	static char optstr[] = "n:l:t:h:";

	while ((c = getopt(argc, argv, optstr)) != EOF)
		switch (c) {
			case 'n':
				thread_num = atoi(optarg);
				break;
			case 'l':
				loop = atoi(optarg);
				break;
			case 't':
				delay = atoi(optarg);
				break;
			case 'h':
			default:
				usage();
				exit(1);
		}

	printf("thread=%d,loop=%d,delay=%d\n",thread_num,loop,delay);
	count = malloc(sizeof(long));
	shutdown = malloc(sizeof(int));
	*count = 0;
	*shutdown = 0;

	sigemptyset(&sigset);
	sigaddset(&sigset, signum);
	sigprocmask (SIG_BLOCK, &sigset, NULL);
	signal(SIGINT, sighand);
	signal(SIGTERM, sighand);

	for(i = 0; i < thread_num ; i++)
		pthread_create(&pt[i], NULL, simple_loop, NULL);

	for (i = 0; i < thread_num; i++)
		pthread_join(pt[i], NULL);

	exit(0);
}

Get powertop V2 from git://github.com/fenrus75/powertop, build powertop.
After build the above test application, then run it.
Test plaform can be Intel Sandybridge or other recent platforms.
#./idle_predict -l 10 &
#./powertop

We will find that deep C-state will dangle between 40%~100% and much time spent
on C1 state. It is because menu governor wrongly predict that repeat mode
is kept, so it will choose the C1 shallow C-state even though it has chance to
sleep 1 second in deep C-state.

While after patched the kernel, we find that deep C-state will keep >99.6%.

5e5041f352 ACPI / processor: prevent cpu from becoming online
Even if acpi_processor_handle_eject() offlines cpu, there is a chance
to online the cpu after that. So the patch closes the window by using
get/put_online_cpus().

Why does the patch change _cpu_up() logic?

The patch cares the race of hot-remove cpu and _cpu_up(). If the patch
does not change it, there is the following race.

hot-remove cpu                         |  _cpu_up()
------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
call acpi_processor_handle_eject()     |
     call cpu_down()                   |
     call get_online_cpus()            |
                                       | call cpu_hotplug_begin() and stop here
     call arch_unregister_cpu()        |
     call acpi_unmap_lsapic()          |
     call put_online_cpus()            |
                                       | start and continue _cpu_up()
     return acpi_processor_remove()    |
continue hot-remove the cpu            |

So _cpu_up() can continue to itself. And hot-remove cpu can also continue
itself. If the patch changes _cpu_up() logic, the race disappears as below:

hot-remove cpu                         | _cpu_up()
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
call acpi_processor_handle_eject()     |
     call cpu_down()                   |
     call get_online_cpus()            |
                                       | call cpu_hotplug_begin() and stop here
     call arch_unregister_cpu()        |
     call acpi_unmap_lsapic()          |
          cpu's cpu_present is set     |
          to false by set_cpu_present()|
     call put_online_cpus()            |
                                       | start _cpu_up()
                                       | check cpu_present() and return -EINVAL
     return acpi_processor_remove()    |
continue hot-remove the cpu            |

6e32d479db kernel/cpu.c: Add comment for priority in cpu_hotplug_pm_callback
cpu_hotplug_pm_callback should have higher priority than
bsp_pm_callback which depends on cpu_hotplug_pm_callback to disable cpu hotplug
to avoid race during bsp online checking.

This is to hightlight the priorities between the two callbacks in case people
may overlook the order.

Ideally the priorities should be defined in macro/enum instead of fixed values.
To do that, a seperate patchset may be pushed which will touch serveral other
generic files and is out of scope of this patchset.

878d7439d0 rcu: Fix batch-limit size problem
Commit 29c00b4a1d (rcu: Add event-tracing for RCU callback
invocation) added a regression in rcu_do_batch()

Under stress, RCU is supposed to allow to process all items in queue,
instead of a batch of 10 items (blimit), but an integer overflow makes
the effective limit being 1.  So, unless there is frequent idle periods
(during which RCU ignores batch limits), RCU can be forced into a
state where it cannot keep up with the callback-generation rate,
eventually resulting in OOM.

This commit therefore converts a few variables in rcu_do_batch() from
int to long to fix this problem, along with the module parameters
controlling the batch limits.

fractional seconds is misleading. Mark clocks as either in nanoseconds or
not, and format non-nanosecond timestamps as decimal integers.

Tested:

8cbd9cc625 tracing,x86: Add a TSC trace_clock
In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace,
add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded
in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on
exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously
interlaced.

Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large
timestamp values.

v2:
Move arch-specific bits out of generic code.
v3:
Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups
v7:

04aa530ec0 genirq: Always force thread affinity
Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the
affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases:

 1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before
    the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified.

 2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to
    change its affinity.

 3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving
    the thread either.

Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation
time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to
the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an
existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y)

ef9fe980c6 cgroup_freezer: implement proper hierarchy support
Up until now, cgroup_freezer didn't implement hierarchy properly.
cgroups could be arranged in hierarchy but it didn't make any
difference in how each cgroup_freezer behaved.  They all operated
separately.

This patch implements proper hierarchy support.  If a cgroup is
frozen, all its descendants are frozen.  A cgroup is thawed iff it and
all its ancestors are THAWED.  freezer.self_freezing shows the current
freezing state for the cgroup itself.  freezer.parent_freezing shows
whether the cgroup is freezing because any of its ancestors is
freezing.

freezer_post_create() locks the parent and new cgroup and inherits the
parent's state and freezer_change_state() applies new state top-down
using cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() which guarantees that no child
can escape its parent's state.  update_if_frozen() uses
cgroup_for_each_descendant_post() to propagate frozen states
bottom-up.

Synchronization could be coarser and easier by using a single mutex to
protect all hierarchy operations.  Finer grained approach was used
because it wasn't too difficult for cgroup_freezer and I think it's
beneficial to have an example implementation and cgroup_freezer is
rather simple and can serve a good one.

As this makes cgroup_freezer properly hierarchical,
freezer_subsys.broken_hierarchy marking is removed.

Note that this patch changes userland visible behavior - freezing a
cgroup now freezes all its descendants too.  This behavior change is
intended and has been warned via .broken_hierarchy.

v2: Michal spotted a bug in freezer_change_state() - descendants were
    inheriting from the wrong ancestor.  Fixed.

v3: Documentation/cgroups/freezer-subsystem.txt updated.

5300a9b348 cgroup_freezer: add ->post_create() and ->pre_destroy() and track online state
A cgroup is online and visible to iteration between ->post_create()
and ->pre_destroy().  This patch introduces CGROUP_FREEZER_ONLINE and
toggles it from the newly added freezer_post_create() and
freezer_pre_destroy() while holding freezer->lock such that a
cgroup_freezer can be reilably distinguished to be online.  This will
be used by full hierarchy support.

ONLINE test is added to freezer_apply_state() but it currently doesn't
make any difference as freezer_write() can only be called for an
online cgroup.

Adjusting system_freezing_cnt on destruction is moved from
freezer_destroy() to the new freezer_pre_destroy() for consistency.

This patch doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior change.

d6a2fe1342 cgroup_freezer: make freezer->state mask of flags
freezer->state was an enum value - one of THAWED, FREEZING and FROZEN.
As the scheduled full hierarchy support requires more than one
freezing condition, switch it to mask of flags.  If FREEZING is not
set, it's thawed.  FREEZING is set if freezing or frozen.  If frozen,
both FREEZING and FROZEN are set.  Now that tasks can be attached to
an already frozen cgroup, this also makes freezing condition checks
more natural.

574bd9f7c7 cgroup: implement generic child / descendant walk macros
Currently, cgroup doesn't provide any generic helper for walking a
given cgroup's children or descendants.  This patch adds the following
three macros.

* cgroup_for_each_child() - walk immediate children of a cgroup.

* cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() - visit all descendants of a cgroup
  in pre-order tree traversal.

* cgroup_for_each_descendant_post() - visit all descendants of a
  cgroup in post-order tree traversal.

All three only require the user to hold RCU read lock during
traversal.  Verifying that each iterated cgroup is online is the
responsibility of the user.  When used with proper synchronization,
cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre() can be used to propagate state
updates to descendants in reliable way.  See comments for details.

v2: s/config/state/ in commit message and comments per Michal.  More
    documentation on synchronization rules.

a8638030f6 cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->post_create()
Currently, there's no way for a controller to find out whether a new
cgroup finished all ->create() allocatinos successfully and is
considered "live" by cgroup.

This becomes a problem later when we add generic descendants walking
to cgroup which can be used by controllers as controllers don't have a
synchronization point where it can synchronize against new cgroups
appearing in such walks.

This patch adds ->post_create().  It's called after all ->create()
succeeded and the cgroup is linked into the generic cgroup hierarchy.
This plays the counterpart of ->pre_destroy().

When used in combination with the to-be-added generic descendant
iterators, ->post_create() can be used to implement reliable state
inheritance.  It will be explained with the descendant iterators.

v2: Added a paragraph about its future use w/ descendant iterators per
    Michal.

v3: Forgot to add ->post_create() invocation to cgroup_load_subsys().
    Fixed.

1924bcb025 rcu: Avoid counter wrap in synchronize_sched_expedited()
There is a counter scheme similar to ticket locking that
synchronize_sched_expedited() uses to service multiple concurrent
callers with the same expedited grace period.  Upon entry, a
sync_sched_expedited_started variable is atomically incremented,
and upon completion of a expedited grace period a separate
sync_sched_expedited_done variable is atomically incremented.

However, if a synchronize_sched_expedited() is delayed while
in try_stop_cpus(), concurrent invocations will increment the
sync_sched_expedited_started counter, which will eventually overflow.
If the original synchronize_sched_expedited() resumes execution just
as the counter overflows, a concurrent invocation could incorrectly
conclude that an expedited grace period elapsed in zero time, which
would be bad.  One could rely on counter size to prevent this from
happening in practice, but the goal is to formally validate this
code, so it needs to be fixed anyway.

This commit therefore checks the gap between the two counters before
incrementing sync_sched_expedited_started, and if the gap is too
large, does a normal grace period instead.  Overflow is thus only
possible if there are more than about 3.5 billion threads on 32-bit
systems, which can be excluded until such time as task_struct fits
into a single byte and 4G/4G patches are accepted into mainline.

7b2e6011f1 rcu: Rename ->onofflock to ->orphan_lock
The ->onofflock field in the rcu_state structure at one time synchronized
CPU-hotplug operations for RCU.  However, its scope has decreased over time
so that it now only protects the lists of orphaned RCU callbacks.  This
commit therefore renames it to ->orphan_lock to reflect its current use.

b25ed609d0 cgroup: remove CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR, cgroup_exclude_rmdir() and cgroup_release_and_wakeup_rmdir()
CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is another kludge which was added to make cgroup
destruction rollback somewhat working.  cgroup_rmdir() used to drain
CSS references and CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR and the associated waitqueue and
helpers were used to allow the task performing rmdir to wait for the
next relevant event.

Unfortunately, the wait is visible to controllers too and the
mechanism got exposed to memcg by 887032670d ("cgroup avoid permanent
sleep at rmdir").

Now that the draining and retries are gone, CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is
unnecessary.  Remove it and all the mechanisms supporting it.  Note
that memcontrol.c changes are essentially revert of 887032670d
("cgroup avoid permanent sleep at rmdir").

1a90dd508b cgroup: deactivate CSS's and mark cgroup dead before invoking ->pre_destroy()
Because ->pre_destroy() could fail and can't be called under
cgroup_mutex, cgroup destruction did something very ugly.

  1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise.

  2. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy().

  3. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can still be destroyed; fail
     otherwise.

  4. Continue destroying.

In addition to being ugly, it has been always broken in various ways.
For example, memcg ->pre_destroy() expects the cgroup to be inactive
after it's done but tasks can be attached and detached between #2 and
#3 and the conditions that memcg verified in ->pre_destroy() might no
longer hold by the time control reaches #3.

Now that ->pre_destroy() is no longer allowed to fail.  We can switch
to the following.

  1. Grab cgroup_mutex and verify it can be destroyed; fail otherwise.

  2. Deactivate CSS's and mark the cgroup removed thus preventing any
     further operations which can invalidate the verification from #1.

  3. Release cgroup_mutex and call ->pre_destroy().

  4. Re-grab cgroup_mutex and continue destroying.

After this change, controllers can safely assume that ->pre_destroy()
will only be called only once for a given cgroup and, once
->pre_destroy() is called, the cgroup will stay dormant till it's
destroyed.

This removes the only reason ->pre_destroy() can fail - new task being
attached or child cgroup being created inbetween.  Error out path is
removed and ->pre_destroy() invocation is open coded in
cgroup_rmdir().

v2: cgroup_call_pre_destroy() removal moved to this patch per Michal.

976c06bccc cgroup: use cgroup_lock_live_group(parent) in cgroup_create()
This patch makes cgroup_create() fail if @parent is marked removed.
This is to prepare for further updates to cgroup_rmdir() path.

Note that this change isn't strictly necessary.  cgroup can only be
created via mkdir and the removed marking and dentry removal happen
without releasing cgroup_mutex, so cgroup_create() can never race with
cgroup_rmdir().  Even after the scheduled updates to cgroup_rmdir(),
cgroup_mkdir() and cgroup_rmdir() are synchronized by i_mutex
rendering the added liveliness check unnecessary.

Do it anyway such that locking is contained inside cgroup proper and
we don't get nasty surprises if we ever grow another caller of
cgroup_create().

e93160803f cgroup: kill CSS_REMOVED
CSS_REMOVED is one of the several contortions which were necessary to
support css reference draining on cgroup removal.  All css->refcnts
which need draining should be deactivated and verified to equal zero
atomically w.r.t. css_tryget().  If any one isn't zero, all refcnts
needed to be re-activated and css_tryget() shouldn't fail in the
process.

This was achieved by letting css_tryget() busy-loop until either the
refcnt is reactivated (failed removal attempt) or CSS_REMOVED is set
(committing to removal).

Now that css refcnt draining is no longer used, there's no need for
atomic rollback mechanism.  css_tryget() simply can look at the
reference count and fail if it's deactivated - it's never getting
re-activated.

This patch removes CSS_REMOVED and updates __css_tryget() to fail if
the refcnt is deactivated.  As deactivation and removal are a single
step now, they no longer need to be protected against css_tryget()
happening from irq context.  Remove local_irq_disable/enable() from
cgroup_rmdir().

Note that this removes css_is_removed() whose only user is VM_BUG_ON()
in memcontrol.c.  We can replace it with a check on the refcnt but
given that the only use case is a debug assert, I think it's better to
simply unexport it.

v2: Comment updated and explanation on local_irq_disable/enable()

2ef37d3fe4 ("memcg: Simplify mem_cgroup_force_empty_list error

patch removes __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs and mechanisms to support
it.

* Conditionals dependent on __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs removed.

* cgroup_clear_css_refs() can no longer fail.  All that needs to be
  done are deactivating refcnts, setting CSS_REMOVED and putting the
  base reference on each css.  Remove cgroup_clear_css_refs() and the
  failure path, and open-code the loops into cgroup_rmdir().

This patch keeps the two for_each_subsys() loops separate while open
coding them.  They can be merged now but there are scheduled changes
which need them to be separate, so keep them separate to reduce the
amount of churn.

local_irq_save/restore() from cgroup_clear_css_refs() are replaced
with local_irq_disable/enable() for simplicity.  This is safe as
cgroup_rmdir() is always called with IRQ enabled.  Note that this IRQ
switching is necessary to ensure that css_tryget() isn't called from
IRQ context on the same CPU while lower context is between CSS
deactivation and setting CSS_REMOVED as css_tryget() would hang
forever in such cases waiting for CSS to be re-activated or
CSS_REMOVED set.  This will go away soon.

0d5c6e1c19 tracing: Use irq_work for wake ups and remove *_nowake_*() functions
Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to
wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work
was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the
time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may
be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work
will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI
to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location).

With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing
the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used
by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the
normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed.

02404baf1b tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file
The tracing_enabled file was used as a quick way to stop
tracers, and try to bring down overhead for things like
the latency tracers (irqsoff, wakeup, etc). But it didn't
work that well.

The tracing_on file was created as a really fast way to
stop recording into the ftrace ring buffer and can interact
with the kernel. That is a tracing_off() call in the kernel
can disable recording of events, and then from userspace one
could echo 1 into the tracing_on file to continue it. The
tracing_enabled function did too much to allow for this.

The tracing_on has taken over as a way to start and stop tracing
and the tracing_enabled file should not be used. But because of
its existance, it still confuses people. Over a year ago the
following commit was added:

 commit 6752ab4a9c
 Author: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
 Date:   Tue Feb 8 13:54:06 2011 -0500

    tracing: Deprecate tracing_enabled for tracing_on

This commit added a WARN_ON() if the tracing_enabled file's variable
was changed. After this was added, only LatencyTop complained, and
they soon fixed their tool as there was no reason that LatencyTop
should touch this file as it was using the perf ring buffers which
this file does not interact with. But since that time no one else
has complained about this WARN_ON(). Thus it is safe to assume that
this file is no longer needed. Time to get rid of it.

0fb9656d95 tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_on
The tracing_enabled file has been deprecated as it never was able
to serve its purpose well. The tracing_on file has taken over.
Instead of having code to keep tracing_enabled, have the tracing_enabled
file just set tracing_on, and remove the tracing_enabled variable.

This allows us to remove the tracing_enabled file. The reason that
the remove is in a different change set and not removed here is
in case we find some lonely userspace tool that requires the file
to exist. Then the removal patch will get reverted, but this one
will not.

293a7a0a16 genirq: Provide means to retrigger parent
Attempts to retrigger nested threaded IRQs currently fail because they
have no primary handler. In order to support retrigger of nested
IRQs, the parent IRQ needs to be retriggered.

To fix, when an IRQ needs to be resent, if the interrupt has a parent
IRQ and runs in the context of the parent IRQ, then resend the parent.

Also, handle_nested_irq() needs to clear the replay flag like the
other handlers, otherwise check_irq_resend() will set it and it will
never be cleared.  Without clearing, it results in the first resend
working fine, but check_irq_resend() returning early on subsequent
resends because the replay flag is still set.

Problem discovered on ARM/OMAP platforms where a nested IRQ that's
also a wakeup IRQ happens late in suspend and needed to be retriggered
during the resume process.

59fa624519 futex: Handle futex_pi OWNER_DIED take over correctly
Siddhesh analyzed a failure in the take over of pi futexes in case the
owner died and provided a workaround.
See: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14076

The detailed problem analysis shows:

Futex F is initialized with PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT and
PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NP attributes.

T1 lock_futex_pi(F);

T2 lock_futex_pi(F);
   --> T2 blocks on the futex and creates pi_state which is associated
       to T1.

T1 exits
   --> exit_robust_list() runs
       --> Futex F userspace value TID field is set to 0 and
           FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set.

T3 lock_futex_pi(F);
   --> Succeeds due to the check for F's userspace TID field == 0
   --> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the
       userspace TID field of futex F
   --> returns to user space

T1 --> exit_pi_state_list()
       --> Transfers pi_state to waiter T2 and wakes T2 via
       	   rt_mutex_unlock(&pi_state->mutex)

T2 --> acquires pi_state->mutex and gains real ownership of the
       pi_state
   --> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the
       userspace TID field of futex F
   --> returns to user space

T3 --> observes inconsistent state

This problem is independent of UP/SMP, preemptible/non preemptible
kernels, or process shared vs. private. The only difference is that
certain configurations are more likely to expose it.

So as Siddhesh correctly analyzed the following check in
futex_lock_pi_atomic() is the culprit:

	if (unlikely(ownerdied || !(curval & FUTEX_TID_MASK))) {

We check the userspace value for a TID value of 0 and take over the
futex unconditionally if that's true.

AFAICT this check is there as it is correct for a different corner
case of futexes: the WAITERS bit became stale.

Now the proposed change

-	if (unlikely(ownerdied || !(curval & FUTEX_TID_MASK))) {
+       if (unlikely(ownerdied ||
+                       !(curval & (FUTEX_TID_MASK | FUTEX_WAITERS)))) {

solves the problem, but it's not obvious why and it wreckages the
"stale WAITERS bit" case.

What happens is, that due to the WAITERS bit being set (T2 is blocked
on that futex) it enforces T3 to go through lookup_pi_state(), which
in the above case returns an existing pi_state and therefor forces T3
to legitimately fight with T2 over the ownership of the pi_state (via
pi_state->mutex). Probelm solved!

Though that does not work for the "WAITERS bit is stale" problem
because if lookup_pi_state() does not find existing pi_state it
returns -ERSCH (due to TID == 0) which causes futex_lock_pi() to
return -ESRCH to user space because the OWNER_DIED bit is not set.

Now there is a different solution to that problem. Do not look at the
user space value at all and enforce a lookup of possibly available
pi_state. If pi_state can be found, then the new incoming locker T3
blocks on that pi_state and legitimately races with T2 to acquire the
rt_mutex and the pi_state and therefor the proper ownership of the
user space futex.

lookup_pi_state() has the correct order of checks. It first tries to
find a pi_state associated with the user space futex and only if that
fails it checks for futex TID value = 0. If no pi_state is available
nothing can create new state at that point because this happens with
the hash bucket lock held.

So the above scenario changes to:

T1 lock_futex_pi(F);

T2 lock_futex_pi(F);
   --> T2 blocks on the futex and creates pi_state which is associated
       to T1.

T1 exits
   --> exit_robust_list() runs
       --> Futex F userspace value TID field is set to 0 and
           FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set.

T3 lock_futex_pi(F);
   --> Finds pi_state and blocks on pi_state->rt_mutex

T1 --> exit_pi_state_list()
       --> Transfers pi_state to waiter T2 and wakes it via
       	   rt_mutex_unlock(&pi_state->mutex)

T2 --> acquires pi_state->mutex and gains ownership of the pi_state
   --> Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the
       userspace TID field of futex F
   --> returns to user space

This covers all gazillion points on which T3 might come in between
T1's exit_robust_list() clearing the TID field and T2 fixing it up. It
also solves the "WAITERS bit stale" problem by forcing the take over.

Another benefit of changing the code this way is that it makes it less
dependent on untrusted user space values and therefor minimizes the
possible wreckage which might be inflicted.

As usual after staring for too long at the futex code my brain hurts
so much that I really want to ditch that whole optimization of
avoiding the syscall for the non contended case for PI futexes and rip
out the maze of corner case handling code. Unfortunately we can't as
user space relies on that existing behaviour, but at least thinking
about it helps me to preserve my mental sanity. Maybe we should
nevertheless :)

7ffbd48d5c tracing: Cache comms only after an event occurred
Whenever an event is registered, the comm of tasks are saved at
every task switch instead of saving them at every event. But if
an event isn't executed much, the comm cache will be filled up
by tasks that did not record the event and you lose out on the comms
that did.

Here's an example, if you enable the following events:

echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/kvm/kvm_cr/enable
echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable

Note, there's no kvm running on this machine so the first event will
never be triggered, but because it is enabled, the storing of comms
will continue. If we now disable the network event:

echo 0 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable

and look at the trace:

cat /debug/tracing/trace
            sshd-2672  [001] ..s2   375.731616: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0

We see that process 2672 which triggered the events has the comm "sshd".
But if we run hackbench for a bit and look again:

cat /debug/tracing/trace

The stored "sshd" comm has been flushed out and we get a useless "<...>".

But by only storing comms after a trace event occurred, we can run
hackbench all day and still get the same output.

b382ede6b5 tracing: Expand ring buffer when trace_printk() is used
Since tracing is not used by 99% of Linux users, even though tracing
may be configured in, it does not make sense to allocate 1.4 Megs
per CPU for the ring buffers if they are not used. Thus, on boot up
the ring buffers are set to a minimal size until something needs the
and they are expanded.

This works well for events and tracers (function, etc), but for the
asynchronous use of trace_printk() which can write to the ring buffer
at any time, does not expand the buffers.

On boot up a check is made to see if any trace_printk() is used to
see if the trace_printk() temp buffer pages should be allocated. This
same code can be used to expand the buffers as well.

The existing 'overrun' counter is incremented when the ring

overflow off, too. I decided to add a new counter instead
of retro-fitting the existing one because it seems like a
different statistic to count conceptually, and also because
of how the code was structured.

6f4156723c tracing: Allow tracers to start at core initcall
There's times during debugging that it is helpful to see traces of early
boot functions. But the tracers are initialized at device_initcall()
which is quite late during the boot process. Setting the kernel command
line parameter ftrace=function will not show anything until the function
tracer is initialized. This prevents being able to trace functions before
device_initcall().

There's no reason that the tracers need to be initialized so late in the
boot process. Move them up to core_initcall() as they still need to come
after early_initcall() which initializes the tracing buffers.

59ef28b1f1 module: fix out-by-one error in kallsyms
Masaki found and patched a kallsyms issue: the last symbol in a
module's symtab wasn't transferred.  This is because we manually copy
the zero'th entry (which is always empty) then copy the rest in a loop
starting at 1, though from src[0].  His fix was minimal, I prefer to
rewrite the loops in more standard form.

There are two loops: one to get the size, and one to copy.  Make these
identical: always count entry 0 and any defined symbol in an allocated
non-init section.

This bug exists since the following commit was introduced.

Due to these two commits:

  8323f26ce3 sched: Fix race in task_group()
  800d4d30c8 sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled

... autogroup scheduling's dynamic knobs are wrecked.

With both patches applied, all you have to do to crash a box is
disable autogroup during boot up, then reboot.. boom, NULL pointer
dereference due to 800d4d30 not allowing autogroup to move things,
and 8323f26ce making that the only way to switch runqueues.

Remove most of the (dysfunctional) knobs and turn the remaining
sched_autogroup_enabled knob readonly.

If the user fiddles with cgroups hereafter, once tasks
are moved, autogroup won't mess with them again unless
they call setsid().

No knobs, no glitz, nada, just a cute little thing folks can
turn on if they don't want to muck about with cgroups and/or
systemd.

0d855354ea perf, powerpc: Fix hw breakpoints returning -ENOSPC
I've been trying to get hardware breakpoints with perf to work
on POWER7 but I'm getting the following:

  % perf record -e mem:0x10000000 true

    Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 28 (No space left on device).  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

    Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

  true: Terminated

(FWIW adding -a and it works fine)

Debugging it seems that __reserve_bp_slot() is returning ENOSPC
because it thinks there are no free breakpoint slots on this
CPU.

I have a 2 CPUs, so perf userspace is doing two perf_event_open
syscalls to add a counter to each CPU [1].  The first syscall
succeeds but the second is failing.

On this second syscall, fetch_bp_busy_slots() sets slots.pinned
to be 1, despite there being no breakpoint on this CPU.  This is
because the call the task_bp_pinned, checks all CPUs, rather
than just the current CPU. POWER7 only has one hardware
breakpoint per CPU (ie. HBP_NUM=1), so we return ENOSPC.

The following patch fixes this by checking the associated CPU
for each breakpoint in task_bp_pinned.  I'm not familiar with
this code, so it's provided as a reference to the above issue.

3e1df4f506 cputime: Separate irqtime accounting from generic vtime
vtime_account() doesn't have the same role in
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

In the first case it handles time accounting in any context. In
the second case it only handles irq time accounting.

So when vtime_account() is called from outside vtime_account_irq_*()
this call is pointless to CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

To fix the confusion, change vtime_account() to irqtime_account_irq()
in CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING. This way we ensure future account_vtime()
calls won't waste useless cycles in the irqtime APIs.

fa5058f3b6 cputime: Specialize irq vtime hooks
With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, when vtime_account()
is called in irq entry/exit, we perform a check on the
context: if we are interrupting the idle task we
account the pending cputime to idle, otherwise account
to system time or its sub-areas: tsk->stime, hardirq time,
softirq time, ...

However this check for idle only concerns the hardirq entry
and softirq entry:

* Hardirq may directly interrupt the idle task, in which case
we need to flush the pending CPU time to idle.

* The idle task may be directly interrupted by a softirq if
it calls local_bh_enable(). There is probably no such call
in any idle task but we need to cover every case. Ksoftirqd
is not concerned because the idle time is flushed on context
switch and softirq in the end of hardirq have the idle time
already flushed from the hardirq entry.

In the other cases we always account to system/irq time:

* On hardirq exit we account the time to hardirq time.
* On softirq exit we account the time to softirq time.

To optimize this and avoid the indirect call to vtime_account()
and the checks it performs, specialize the vtime irq APIs and
only perform the check on irq entry. Irq exit can directly call
vtime_account_system().

CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING behaviour doesn't change and directly
maps to its own vtime_account() implementation. One may want
to take benefits from the new APIs to optimize irq time accounting
as well in the future.

Now we are going to call it from other places like kvm where

So let's make it irqsafe. The arch implementation part is now
prefixed with "__".

vtime_account_idle() arch implementation is prefixed accordingly
to stay consistent.

5d8f72b55c freezer: change ptrace_stop/do_signal_stop to use freezable_schedule()
try_to_freeze_tasks() and cgroup_freezer rely on scheduler locks
to ensure that a task doing STOPPED/TRACED -> RUNNING transition
can't escape freezing. This mostly works, but ptrace_stop() does
not necessarily call schedule(), it can change task->state back to
RUNNING and check freezing() without any lock/barrier in between.

We could add the necessary barrier, but this patch changes
ptrace_stop() and do_signal_stop() to use freezable_schedule().
This fixes the race, freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip()
carefully avoid the race.

And this simplifies the code, try_to_freeze_tasks/update_if_frozen

2008713c71 Makefile: Documentation for external tool should be correct
If one includes documentation for an external tool, it should be
correct.  This is not:

1. Overriding the input to rngd should typically be neither
   necessary nor desired.  This is especially so since newer
   versions of rngd support a number of different *types* of sources.
2. The default kernel-exported device is called /dev/hwrng not
   /dev/hwrandom nor /dev/hw_random (both of which were used in the
   past; however, kernel and udev seem to have converged on
   /dev/hwrng.)

Overall it is better if the documentation for rngd is kept with rngd
rather than in a kernel Makefile.

f230250577 pidns: limit the nesting depth of pid namespaces
'struct pid' is a "variable sized struct" - a header with an array of
upids at the end.

The size of the array depends on a level (depth) of pid namespaces.  Now a
level of pidns is not limited, so 'struct pid' can be more than one page.

Looks reasonable, that it should be less than a page.  MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL is
not calculated from PAGE_SIZE, because in this case it depends on
architectures, config options and it will be reduced, if someone adds a
new fields in struct pid or struct upid.

I suggest to set MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL = 32, because it saves ability to expand
"struct pid" and it's more than enough for all known for me use-cases.
When someone finds a reasonable use case, we can add a config option or a
sysctl parameter.

In addition it will reduce the effect of another problem, when we have
many nested namespaces and the oldest one starts dying.
zap_pid_ns_processe will be called for each namespace and find_vpid will
be called for each process in a namespace.  find_vpid will be called
minimum max_level^2 / 2 times.  The reason of that is that when we found a
bit in pidmap, we can't determine this pidns is top for this process or it
isn't.

vpid is a heavy operation, so a fork bomb, which create many nested
namespace, can make a system inaccessible for a long time.  For example my
system becomes inaccessible for a few minutes with 4000 processes.

5b51f2f80b sched: Make __update_entity_runnable_avg() fast
__update_entity_runnable_avg forms the core of maintaining an entity's runnable
load average.  In this function we charge the accumulated run-time since last
update and handle appropriate decay.  In some cases, e.g. a waking task, this
time interval may be much larger than our period unit.

Fortunately we can exploit some properties of our series to perform decay for a
blocked update in constant time and account the contribution for a running
update in essentially-constant* time.

[*]: For any running entity they should be performing updates at the tick which
gives us a soft limit of 1 jiffy between updates, and we can compute up to a
32 jiffy update in a single pass.

  #include <math.h>

With bandwidth control tracked entities may cease execution according to user

however, is incorrect and would falsely skew in either direction.

What we actually want is for any throttled periods to be "invisible" to
load-tracking as they are removed from the system for that interval and
contribute normally otherwise.

Do this by moderating the progression of time to omit any periods in which the
entity belonged to a throttled hierarchy.

Entities of equal weight should receive equitable distribution of cpu time.
This is challenging in the case of a task_group's shares as execution may be
occurring on multiple cpus simultaneously.

To handle this we divide up the shares into weights proportionate with the load
on each cfs_rq.  This does not however, account for the fact that the sum of
the parts may be less than one cpu and so we need to normalize:
  load(tg) = min(runnable_avg(tg), 1) * tg->shares

9ee474f556 sched: Maintain the load contribution of blocked entities
We are currently maintaining:

  runnable_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum task_load(t)

For all running children t of cfs_rq.  While this can be naturally updated for
tasks in a runnable state (as they are scheduled); this does not account for
the load contributed by blocked task entities.

This can be solved by introducing a separate accounting for blocked load:

  blocked_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum runnable(b) * weight(b)

Obviously we do not want to iterate over all blocked entities to account for
their decay, we instead observe that:

  runnable_load(t) = \Sum p_i*y^i

and that to account for an additional idle period we only need to compute:

  y*runnable_load(t).

This means that we can compute all blocked entities at once by evaluating:

  blocked_load(cfs_rq)` = y * blocked_load(cfs_rq)

Finally we maintain a decay counter so that when a sleeping entity re-awakens
we can determine how much of its load should be removed from the blocked sum.

Instead of tracking averaging the load parented by a cfs_rq, we can track
entity load directly. With the load for a given cfs_rq then being the sum
of its children.

To do this we represent the historical contribution to runnable average
within each trailing 1024us of execution as the coefficients of a
geometric series.

We can express this for a given task t as:

  runnable_sum(t) = \Sum u_i * y^i, runnable_avg_period(t) = \Sum 1024 * y^i
  load(t) = weight_t * runnable_sum(t) / runnable_avg_period(t)

Where: u_i is the usage in the last i`th 1024us period (approximately 1ms)
~ms and y is chosen such that y^k = 1/2.  We currently choose k to be 32 which
roughly translates to about a sched period.

6b898c07cb console: use might_sleep in console_lock
Instead of BUG_ON(in_interrupt()), since that doesn't check for all
the newfangled stuff like preempt.

Note that this is valid since the console_sem is essentially used like
a real mutex with only two twists:
- we allow trylock from hardirq context
- across suspend/resume we lock the logical console_lock, but drop the
  semaphore protecting the locking state.

Now that doesn't guarantee that no one is playing tricks in
single-thread atomic contexts at suspend/resume/boot time, but
- I couldn't find anything suspicious with some grepping,
- might_sleep shouldn't die,
- and I think the upside of catching more potential issues is worth
  the risk of getting a might_sleep backtrace that would have been
  save (and then dealing with that fallout).

53bb857c37 rcu: Dump number of callbacks in stall warning messages
In theory, if a grace period manages to get started despite there being
no callbacks on any of the CPUs, all CPUs could go into dyntick-idle
mode, so that the grace period would never end.  This commit updates
the RCU CPU stall warning messages to detect this condition by summing
up the number of callbacks on all CPUs.

b637a328bd rcu: Print remote CPU's stacks in stall warnings
The RCU CPU stall warnings rely on trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() to
do NMI-based dump of the stack traces of all CPUs.  Unfortunately, a
number of architectures do not implement trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(), in
which case RCU falls back to just dumping the stack of the running CPU.
This is unhelpful in the case where the running CPU has detected that
some other CPU has stalled.

This commit therefore makes the running CPU dump the stacks of the
tasks running on the stalled CPUs.

daee779718 console: implement lockdep support for console_lock
Dave Airlie recently discovered a locking bug in the fbcon layer,
where a timer_del_sync (for the blinking cursor) deadlocks with the
timer itself, since both (want to) hold the console_lock:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/21/36

Unfortunately the console_lock isn't a plain mutex and hence has no
lockdep support. Which resulted in a few days wasted of tracking down
this bug (complicated by the fact that printk doesn't show anything
when the console is locked) instead of noticing the bug much earlier
with the lockdep splat.

Hence I've figured I need to fix that for the next deadlock involving
console_lock - and with kms/drm growing ever more complex locking
that'll eventually happen.

Now the console_lock has rather funky semantics, so after a quick irc
discussion with Thomas Gleixner and Dave Airlie I've quickly ditched
the original idead of switching to a real mutex (since it won't work)
and instead opted to annotate the console_lock with lockdep
information manually.

There are a few special cases:
- The console_lock state is protected by the console_sem, and usually
  grabbed/dropped at _lock/_unlock time. But the suspend/resume code
  drops the semaphore without dropping the console_lock (see
  suspend_console/resume_console). But since the same thread that did
  the suspend will do the resume, we don't need to fix up anything.

- In the printk code there's a special trylock, only used to kick off
  the logbuffer printk'ing in console_unlock. But all that happens
  while lockdep is disable (since printk does a few other evil
  tricks). So no issue there, either.

- The console_lock can also be acquired form irq context (but only
  with a trylock). lockdep already handles that.

This all leaves us with annotating the normal console_lock, _unlock
and _trylock functions.

And yes, it works - simply unloading a drm kms driver resulted in
lockdep complaining about the deadlock in fbcon_deinit:

======================================================

5efbe4279f PM / QoS: Introduce request and constraint data types for PM QoS flags
Introduce struct pm_qos_flags_request and struct pm_qos_flags
representing PM QoS flags request type and PM QoS flags constraint
type, respectively.  With these definitions the data structures
will be arranged so that the list member of a struct pm_qos_flags
object will contain the head of a list of struct pm_qos_flags_request
objects representing all of the "flags" requests present for the
given device.  Then, the effective_flags member of a struct
pm_qos_flags object will contain the bitwise OR of the flags members
of all the struct pm_qos_flags_request objects in the list.

Additionally, introduce helper function pm_qos_update_flags()
allowing the caller to manage the list of struct pm_qos_flags_request
pointed to by the list member of struct pm_qos_flags.

The flags are of type s32 so that the request's "value" field
is always of the same type regardless of what kind of request it
is (latency requests already have value fields of type s32).

ead5c47371 cgroup_freezer: don't use cgroup_lock_live_group()
freezer_read/write() used cgroup_lock_live_group() to synchronize
against task migration into and out of the target cgroup.
cgroup_lock_live_group() grabs the internal cgroup lock and using it
from outside cgroup core leads to complex and fragile locking
dependency issues which are difficult to resolve.

Now that freezer_can_attach() is replaced with freezer_attach() and
update_if_frozen() updated, nothing requires excluding migration
against freezer state reads and changes.

This patch removes cgroup_lock_live_group() and the matching
cgroup_unlock() usages.  The prone-to-bitrot, already outdated and
unnecessary global lock hierarchy documentation is replaced with
documentation in local scope.

b4d18311d3 cgroup_freezer: prepare update_if_frozen() for locking change
Locking will change such that migration can happen while
freezer_read/write() is in progress.  This means that
update_if_frozen() can no longer assume that all tasks in the cgroup
coform to the current freezer state - newly migrated tasks which
haven't finished freezer_attach() yet might be in any state.

This patch updates update_if_frozen() such that it no longer verifies
task states against freezer state.  It now simply decides whether
FREEZING stage is complete.

This removal of verification makes it meaningless to call from
freezer_change_state().  Drop it and move the fast exit test from
freezer_read() - the only left caller - to update_if_frozen().

8755ade683 cgroup_freezer: allow moving tasks in and out of a frozen cgroup
cgroup_freezer is one of the few users of cgroup_subsys->can_attach()
and uses it to prevent tasks from being migrated into or out of a
frozen cgroup.  This makes cgroup_freezer cumbersome to use especially
when co-mounted with other controllers.

->can_attach() is problematic in general as it can make co-mounting
multiple cgroups difficult - migrating tasks may fail for reasons
completely irrelevant for other controllers.  freezer_can_attach() in
particular is more problematic because it messes with cgroup internal
locking to ensure that the state verification performed at
freezer_can_attach() stays valid until migration is complete.

This patch replaces freezer_can_attach() with freezer_attach() so that
tasks are always allowed to migrate - they are nudged into the
conforming state from freezer_attach().  This means that there can be
tasks which are being migrated which don't conform to the current
cgroup_freezer state until freezer_attach() is complete.  Under the
current locking scheme, the only such place is freezer_fork() which is
updated to handle such window.

While this patch doesn't remove the use of internal cgroup locking
from freezer_read/write() paths, it removes the requirement to keep
the freezer state constant while migrating and enables such change.

Note that this creates a userland visible behavior change - FROZEN
cgroup can no longer be used to lock migrations in and out of the
cgroup.  This behavior change is intended.  I don't think the feature
is necessary - userland should coordinate accesses to cgroup fs anyway
- and even if the feature is needed cgroup_freezer is the completely
wrong place to implement it.

62da192129 rcu: Accelerate callbacks for CPU initiating a grace period
Because grace-period initialization is carried out by a separate
kthread, it might happen on a different CPU than the one that
had the callback needing a grace period -- which is where the
callback acceleration needs to happen.

Fortunately, rcu_start_gp() holds the root rcu_node structure's
->lock, which prevents a new grace period from starting.  This
allows this function to safely determine that a grace period has
not yet started, which in turn allows it to fully accelerate any
callbacks that it has pending.  This commit adds this acceleration.

caabe24057 MODSIGN: Move the magic string to the end of a module and eliminate the search
Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the
signature data instead of before it.  This allows module_sig_check() to
be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the
magic string.  Instead we just need to do a single memcmp().

This works because at the end of the signature data there is the
fixed-length signature information block.  This block then falls
immediately prior to the magic number.

From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate
the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module
data.

avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a
panic eventually.

This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop.

Based on a patch by Andrew Vagin.
