new helper: dir_relax(inode). Call when you are in location that will
_not_ be invalidated by directory modifications (block boundary, in case
of ext*). Returns whether the directory has survived (dropping i_mutex
allows rmdir to kill the sucker; if it returns false to us, ->iterate()
is obviously done)

New method - ->iterate(file, ctx). That's the replacement for ->readdir();
it takes callback from ctx->actor, uses ctx->pos instead of file->f_pos and
calls dir_emit(ctx, ...) instead of filldir(data, ...). It does *not*
update file->f_pos (or look at it, for that matter); iterate_dir() does the
update.
Note that dir_emit() takes the offset from ctx->pos (and eventually
filldir_t will lose that argument).

iterate_dir(): new helper, replacing vfs_readdir().
struct dir_context: contains the readdir callback (and will get more stuff
in it), embedded into whatever data that callback wants to deal with;
eventually, we'll be passing it to ->readdir() replacement instead of
(data,filldir) pair.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no
mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are
in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'.
This means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses
it, and this is a very bad bug: not only 'ubifs_readdir()' can return garbage,
but this may corrupt memory and lead to all kinds of problems like crashes an
security holes.
This patch fixes the problem by using the 'file->f_version' field, which
'->llseek()' always unconditionally sets to zero. We set it to 1 in
'ubifs_readdir()' and whenever we detect that it became 0, we know there was a
seek and it is time to clear the state saved in 'file->private_data'.
I tested this patch by writing a user-space program which runds readdir and
seek in parallell. I could easily crash the kernel without these patches, but
could not crash it with these patches.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no
mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are
in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'.
First of all, this means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while
'ubifs_readdir()' uses it. But this particular patch does not fix the problem.
This patch is only a preparation, and the fix will follow next.
In this patch we make 'ubifs_readdir()' stop using 'file->f_pos' directly,
because 'file->f_pos' can be changed by '->llseek()' at any point. This may
lead 'ubifs_readdir()' to returning inconsistent data: directory entry names
may correspond to incorrect file positions.
So here we introduce a local variable 'pos', read 'file->f_pose' once at very
the beginning, and then stick to 'pos'. The result of this is that when
'ubifs_dir_llseek()' changes 'file->f_pos' while we are in the middle of
'ubifs_readdir()', the latter "wins".

Thanks to commit f91eb62f71 ("init: scream bloody murder if interrupts
are enabled too early"), "bloody murder" is now being screamed.
With a MIPS OCTEON config, we use on_each_cpu() in our
irq_chip.irq_bus_sync_unlock() function. This gets called in early as a
result of the time_init() call. Because the !SMP version of
on_each_cpu() unconditionally enables irqs, we get:
WARNING: at init/main.c:560 start_kernel+0x250/0x410()
Interrupts were enabled early
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 3.10.0-rc5-Cavium-Octeon+ #801

warn_slowpath_common+0x78/0xb0
warn_slowpath_fmt+0x38/0x48
start_kernel+0x250/0x410
Suggested fix: Do what we already do in the SMP version of
on_each_cpu(), and use local_irq_save/local_irq_restore. Because we
need a flags variable, make it a static inline to avoid name space
issues.
[ Change from v1: Convert on_each_cpu to a static inline function, add
#include <linux/irqflags.h> to avoid build breakage on some files.
on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond() suffer the same problem as
on_each_cpu(), but they are not causing !SMP bugs for me, so I will
defer changing them to a less urgent patch. ]

When replaying interrupts (as a result of the interrupt occurring
while soft-disabled), in the case of the decrementer, we are exclusively
testing for a pending timer target. However we also use decrementer
interrupts to trigger the new "irq_work", which in this case would
be missed.
This change the logic to force a replay in both cases of a timer
boundary reached and a decrementer interrupt having actually occurred
while disabled. The former test is still useful to catch cases where
a CPU having been hard-disabled for a long time completely misses the
interrupt due to a decrementer rollover.

Normally, the kernel emulates a few instructions that are unimplemented
on some processors (e.g. the old dcba instruction), or privileged (e.g.
mfpvr). The emulation of unimplemented instructions is currently not
working on the PowerNV platform. The reason is that on these machines,
unimplemented and illegal instructions cause a hypervisor emulation
assist interrupt, rather than a program interrupt as on older CPUs.
Our vector for the emulation assist interrupt just calls
program_check_exception() directly, without setting the bit in SRR1
that indicates an illegal instruction interrupt. This fixes it by
making the emulation assist interrupt set that bit before calling
program_check_interrupt(). With this, old programs that use no-longer
implemented instructions such as dcba now work again.

__ppc64_runlatch_on() is called from RUNLATCH_ON in the exception entry
path. At that point the irq state is not consistent, ie. interrupts are
hard disabled (by the exception entry), but the paca soft-enabled flag
may be out of sync.
This leads to the local_irq_restore() in trace_graph_entry() actually
enabling interrupts, which we do not want. Because we have not yet
reprogrammed the decrementer we immediately take another decrementer
exception, and recurse.
The fix is twofold. Firstly make sure we call DISABLE_INTS before
calling RUNLATCH_ON. The badly named DISABLE_INTS actually reconciles
the irq state in the paca with the hardware, making it safe again to
call local_irq_save/restore().
Although that should be sufficient to fix the bug, we also mark the
runlatch routines as notrace. They are called very early in the
exception entry and we are asking for trouble tracing them. They are
also fairly uninteresting and tracing them just adds unnecessary
overhead.

exit_notify() does exit_task_namespaces() after
forget_original_parent(). This was needed to ensure that ->nsproxy
can't be cleared prematurely, an exiting child we are going to
reparent can do do_notify_parent() and use the parent's (ours) pid_ns.
However, after 32084504 "pidns: use task_active_pid_ns in
do_notify_parent" ->nsproxy != NULL is no longer needed, we rely
on task_active_pid_ns().
Move exit_task_namespaces() from exit_notify() to do_exit(), after
exit_fs() and before exit_task_work().
This solves the problem reported by Andrey, free_ipc_ns()->shm_destroy()
does fput() which needs task_work_add().
Note: this particular problem can be fixed if we change fput(), and
that change makes sense anyway. But there is another reason to move
the callsite. The original reason for exit_task_namespaces() from
the middle of exit_notify() was subtle and it has already gone away,
now this looks confusing. And this allows us do simplify exit_notify(),
we can avoid unlock/lock(tasklist) and we can use ->exit_state instead
of PF_EXITING in forget_original_parent().

fput() assumes that it can't be called after exit_task_work() but
this is not true, for example free_ipc_ns()->shm_destroy() can do
this. In this case fput() silently leaks the file.
Change it to fallback to delayed_fput_work if task_work_add() fails.
The patch looks complicated but it is not, it changes the code from
if (PF_KTHREAD) {
schedule_work(...);
return;
}
task_work_add(...)
to
if (!PF_KTHREAD) {
if (!task_work_add(...))
return;
/* fallback */
}
schedule_work(...);
As for shm_destroy() in particular, we could make another fix but I
think this change makes sense anyway. There could be another similar
user, it is not safe to assume that task_work_add() can't fail.
