This moves all the ptrace initialization and tracing logic for task
creation into tracehook.h and ptrace.h inlines. It reorganizes the code
slightly, but should not change any behavior.
There are four tracehook entry points, at each important stage of task
creation. This keeps the interface from the core fork.c code fairly
clean, while supporting the complex setup required for ptrace or something
like it.

Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate
parent I/O statistics in /proc/pid/io. This approach follows the same
model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times.
As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the top
I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform the
actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be found
in /proc/pid/io.

Kill PF_BORROWED_MM. Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and
do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users.
No functional changes yet. But this allows us to do further
fixes/cleanups.
oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the
kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with
PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races. With this
patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper:
/* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */
struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk)
{
if (tsk->flags & PF_KTHREAD)
return NULL;
return tsk->mm;
}
Note also ecard_task(). It runs with ->mm != NULL, but it's the kernel
thread without PF_BORROWED_MM.

cgroup_clone creates a new cgroup with the pid of the task. This works
correctly for unshare, but for clone cgroup_clone is called from
copy_namespaces inside copy_process, which happens before the new pid is
created. As a result, the new cgroup was created with current's pid.
This patch:
1. Moves the call inside copy_process to after the new pid
is created
2. Passes the struct pid into ns_cgroup_clone (as it is not
yet attached to the task)
3. Passes a name from ns_cgroup_clone() into cgroup_clone()
so as to keep cgroup_clone() itself simpler
4. Uses pid_vnr() to get the process id value, so that the
pid used to name the new cgroup is always the pid as it
would be known to the task which did the cloning or
unsharing. I think that is the most intuitive thing to
do. This way, task t1 does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get
t2, which does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get t3, then the
cgroup for t3 will be named for the pid by which t2 knows
t3.
(Thanks to Dan Smith for finding the main bug)
Changelog:
June 11: Incorporate Paul Menage's feedback: don't pass
NULL to ns_cgroup_clone from unshare, and reduce
patch size by using 'nodename' in cgroup_clone.

This patch reserves huge pages at mmap() time for MAP_PRIVATE mappings in
a similar manner to the reservations taken for MAP_SHARED mappings. The
reserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for
private mappings. This guarantees that a process that successfully calls
mmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is
called.
The characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after
this patch are;
1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until
it forks().
2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private
mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably
reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of
hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as
might occur when fork()ing to exec().
3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already
faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough
huge pages being free in the pool.
4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper
and at fault time otherwise.
Before this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page
allocations that can later lead to the death of the parent. This applies
to reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW. After the
patch it is only a write to an instantiated page that causes problems.

ptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the
old ptrace_children list is gone. Now ptrace, whether of one's own
children or another's via PTRACE_ATTACH, just uses the new ptraced
list instead.
There should be no user-visible difference that matters. The only
change is the order in which do_wait() sees multiple stopped
children and stopped ptrace attachees. Since wait_task_stopped()
was changed earlier so it no longer reorders the children list, we
already know this won't cause any new problems.

The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and
reported as the result.
Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems.
This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of
walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a
reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct.
That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file
from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number
of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is
unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

Fix, part 1: add support for sys_unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM)
The original reason to not support it was the potential (inevitable?)
confusion due to the fact that sys_unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM) has the
inverse meaning of clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM).
Our two most reasonable options then appear to be (1) fully support
CLONE_SYSVSEM, or (2) continue to refuse explicit CLONE_SYSVSEM,
but always do it anyway on unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM). This patch does
(1).

Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.
This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.
A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.
This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.
I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.
This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.
After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

This is a change that was requested some time ago by Mel Gorman. Makes sense
to me, so here it is.
Note: I retain the name "mpol_free_shared_policy()" because it actually does
free the shared_policy, which is NOT a reference counted object. However, ...
The mempolicy object[s] referenced by the shared_policy are reference counted,
so mpol_put() is used to release the reference held by the shared_policy. The
mempolicy might not be freed at this time, because some task attached to the
shared object associated with the shared policy may be in the process of
allocating a page based on the mempolicy. In that case, the task performing
the allocation will hold a reference on the mempolicy, obtained via
mpol_shared_policy_lookup(). The mempolicy will be freed when all tasks
holding such a reference have called mpol_put() for the mempolicy.

The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to
virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie
function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to
reserve space in the page table:
s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed
and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table.
Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE.
This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static.
Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's
review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in
include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now
call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

Split the FPU save area from the task struct. This allows easy migration
of FPU context, and it's generally cleaner. It also allows the following
two optimizations:
1) only allocate when the application actually uses FPU, so in the first
lazy FPU trap. This could save memory for non-fpu using apps. Next patch
does this lazy allocation.
2) allocate the right size for the actual cpu rather than 512 bytes always.
Patches enabling xsave/xrstor support (coming shortly) will take advantage
of this.

The capability bounding set is a set beyond which capabilities cannot grow.
Currently cap_bset is per-system. It can be manipulated through sysctl,
but only init can add capabilities. Root can remove capabilities. By
default it includes all caps except CAP_SETPCAP.
This patch makes the bounding set per-process when file capabilities are
enabled. It is inherited at fork from parent. Noone can add elements,
CAP_SETPCAP is required to remove them.
One example use of this is to start a safer container. For instance, until
device namespaces or per-container device whitelists are introduced, it is
best to take CAP_MKNOD away from a container.
The bounding set will not affect pP and pE immediately. It will only
affect pP' and pE' after subsequent exec()s. It also does not affect pI,
and exec() does not constrain pI'. So to really start a shell with no way
of regain CAP_MKNOD, you would do
prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, CAP_MKNOD);
cap_t cap = cap_get_proc();
cap_value_t caparray[1];
caparray[0] = CAP_MKNOD;
cap_set_flag(cap, CAP_INHERITABLE, 1, caparray, CAP_DROP);
cap_set_proc(cap);
cap_free(cap);
The following test program will get and set the bounding
set (but not pI). For instance
./bset get
(lists capabilities in bset)
./bset drop cap_net_raw
(starts shell with new bset)
(use capset, setuid binary, or binary with
file capabilities to try to increase caps)

The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as
first argument. The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument. This
is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm
argument is needed on the free function as well.

Ulrich says that we never used this clone flags and that nothing should be
using it.
As we're down to only a single bit left in clone's flags argument, let's add a
warning to check that no userspace is actually using it. Hopefully we will
be able to recycle it.
Roland said:
CLONE_STOPPED was previously used by some NTPL versions when under
thread_db (i.e. only when being actively debugged by gdb), but not for a
long time now, and it never worked reliably when it was used. Removing it
seems fine to me.

Extend group scheduling to also cover the realtime classes. It uses the time
limiting introduced by the previous patch to allow multiple realtime groups.
The hard time limit is required to keep behaviour deterministic.
The algorithms used make the realtime scheduler O(tg), linear scaling wrt the
number of task groups. This is the worst case behaviour I can't seem to get out
of, the avg. case of the algorithms can be improved, I focused on correctness
and worst case.

This patch implements a new version of RCU which allows its read-side
critical sections to be preempted. It uses a set of counter pairs
to keep track of the read-side critical sections and flips them
when all tasks exit read-side critical section. The details
of this implementation can be found in this paper -
http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/OLSrtRCU.2006.08.11a.pdf
and the article-
http://lwn.net/Articles/253651/
This patch was developed as a part of the -rt kernel development and
meant to provide better latencies when read-side critical sections of
RCU don't disable preemption. As a consequence of keeping track of RCU
readers, the readers have a slight overhead (optimizations in the paper).
This implementation co-exists with the "classic" RCU implementations
and can be switched to at compiler.
Also includes RCU tracing summarized in debugfs.
