struct page already has this information. If we start chaining caches,
this information will always be more trustworthy than whatever is passed
into the function.

Create a mechanism that skip memcg allocations during certain pieces of
our core code. It basically works in the same way as
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable(): By marking a region under which all
allocations will be accounted to the root memcg.
We need this to prevent races in early cache creation, when we
allocate data using caches that are not necessarily created already.

The page allocator is able to bind a page to a memcg when it is
allocated. But for the caches, we'd like to have as many objects as
possible in a page belonging to the same cache.
This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the
beginning of every allocation function. This function is patched out by
static branches when kernel memory controller is not being used.
It assumes that the task allocating, which determines the memcg in the
page allocator, belongs to the same cgroup throughout the whole process.
Misaccounting can happen if the task calls memcg_kmem_get_cache() while
belonging to a cgroup, and later on changes. This is considered
acceptable, and should only happen upon task migration.
Before the cache is created by the memcg core, there is also a possible
imbalance: the task belongs to a memcg, but the cache being allocated from
is the global cache, since the child cache is not yet guaranteed to be
ready. This case is also fine, since in this case the GFP_KMEMCG will not
be passed and the page allocator will not attempt any cgroup accounting.

Every cache that is considered a root cache (basically the "original"
caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be
large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system.
Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently
in the 64k pointers range. Most of the time, we won't be using that much.
What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such
an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches. Because we
would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the
array will only grow. It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum
number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved.
We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs. When we have
more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the
limit is reached.
Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for
this to happen is when we write to the limit. At that point, we already
have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization
mechanism.

Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation. When the slub
allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same
memcg. We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating
the cache to a memcg-specific cache
Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg
version. We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg.
A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name
for sysfs. Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab
data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

Because those architectures will draw their stacks directly from the page
allocator, rather than the slab cache, we can directly pass __GFP_KMEMCG
flag, and issue the corresponding free_pages.
This code path is taken when the architecture doesn't define
CONFIG_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR (only ia64 seems to), and has
THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE. Luckily, most - if not all - of the remaining
architectures fall in this category.
This will guarantee that every stack page is accounted to the memcg the
process currently lives on, and will have the allocations to fail if they
go over limit.
For the time being, I am defining a new variant of THREADINFO_GFP, not to
mess with the other path. Once the slab is also tracked by memcg, we can
get rid of that flag.
Tested to successfully protect against :(){ :|:& };:

We can use static branches to patch the code in or out when not used.
Because the _ACTIVE bit on kmem_accounted is only set after the increment
is done, we guarantee that the root memcg will always be selected for kmem
charges until all call sites are patched (see memcg_kmem_enabled). This
guarantees that no mischarges are applied.
Static branch decrement happens when the last reference count from the
kmem accounting in memcg dies. This will only happen when the charges
drop down to 0.
When that happens, we need to disable the static branch only on those
memcgs that enabled it. To achieve this, we would be forced to complicate
the code by keeping track of which memcgs were the ones that actually
enabled limits, and which ones got it from its parents.
It is a lot simpler just to do static_key_slow_inc() on every child
that is accounted.

It is useful to know how many charges are still left after a call to
res_counter_uncharge. While it is possible to issue a res_counter_read
after uncharge, this can be racy.
If we need, for instance, to take some action when the counters drop down
to 0, only one of the callers should see it. This is the same semantics
as the atomic variables in the kernel.
Since the current return value is void, we don't need to worry about
anything breaking due to this change: nobody relied on that, and only
users appearing from now on will be checking this value.

When a process tries to allocate a page with the __GFP_KMEMCG flag, the
page allocator will call the corresponding memcg functions to validate
the allocation. Tasks in the root memcg can always proceed.
To avoid adding markers to the page - and a kmem flag that would
necessarily follow, as much as doing page_cgroup lookups for no reason,
whoever is marking its allocations with __GFP_KMEMCG flag is responsible
for telling the page allocator that this is such an allocation at
free_pages() time. This is done by the invocation of
__free_accounted_pages() and free_accounted_pages().

Introduce infrastructure for tracking kernel memory pages to a given
memcg. This will happen whenever the caller includes the flag
__GFP_KMEMCG flag, and the task belong to a memcg other than the root.
In memcontrol.h those functions are wrapped in inline acessors. The idea
is to later on, patch those with static branches, so we don't incur any
overhead when no mem cgroups with limited kmem are being used.
Users of this functionality shall interact with the memcg core code
through the following functions:
memcg_kmem_newpage_charge: will return true if the group can handle the
allocation. At this point, struct page is not
yet allocated.
memcg_kmem_commit_charge: will either revert the charge, if struct page
allocation failed, or embed memcg information
into page_cgroup.
memcg_kmem_uncharge_page: called at free time, will revert the charge.

We will need this helper in the next patch to provide a file handle for
inotify marks in /proc/pid/fdinfo output.
The patch is rather providing the way to use inodes directly when dentry
is not available (like in case of inotify system).

Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.
The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it generates pseudo-random
numbers by prandom_u32(). It doesn't consume the entropy pool, and the
sequence is reproducible if the same rnd_state is used. So it is suitable
for generating random bytes for testing.

This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows:
void prandom_seed(u32 seed); /* rename from srandom32() */
u32 prandom_u32(void); /* rename from random32() */
void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
/* rename from prandom32_seed() */
u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
/* rename from prandom32() */
The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from
assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure. This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.
And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the
requested number of pseudo-random bytes. If I continue to use both
prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion
is getting worse.
As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for
pseudo-random number library.
Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is
difficult to rename too many users at once.

To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive
scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon
as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back
up the chain, aborting immediately.
This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting
to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the
dash source:
if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) {
*argv-- = cmd;
*argv = cmd = path_bshell;
goto repeat;
}
The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked
the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC,
things continue to behave as the shell expects.
Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be
involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through
search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible
for tracking the depth.

Ptrace jailers want to be sure that the tracee can never escape
from the control. However if the tracer dies unexpectedly the
tracee continues to run in potentially unsafe mode.
Add the new ptrace option PTRACE_O_EXITKILL. If the tracer exits
it sends SIGKILL to every tracee which has this bit set.
Note that the new option is not equal to the last-option << 1. Because
currently all options have an event, and the new one starts the eventless
group. It uses the random 20 bit, so we have the room for 12 more events,
but we can also add the new eventless options below this one.

to keep it bisectable, otherwise kernel building may fail with mismatched

Add lockdep annotations. Not only this can help to find the potential
problems, we do not want the false warnings if, say, the task takes two
different percpu_rw_semaphore's for reading. IOW, at least ->rw_sem
should not use a single class.
This patch exposes this internal lock to lockdep so that it represents the
whole percpu_rw_semaphore. This way we do not need to add another "fake"
->lockdep_map and lock_class_key. More importantly, this also makes the
output from lockdep much more understandable if it finds the problem.
In short, with this patch from lockdep pov percpu_down_read() and
percpu_up_read() acquire/release ->rw_sem for reading, this matches the
actual semantics. This abuses __up_read() but I hope this is fine and in
fact I'd like to have down_read_no_lockdep() as well,
percpu_down_read_recursive_readers() will need it.

percpu_rw_semaphore->writer_mutex was only added to simplify the initial
rewrite, the only thing it protects is clear_fast_ctr() which otherwise
could be called by multiple writers. ->rw_sem is enough to serialize the
writers.
Kill this mutex and add "atomic_t write_ctr" instead. The writers
increment/decrement this counter, the readers check it is zero instead of
mutex_is_locked().
Move atomic_add(clear_fast_ctr(), slow_read_ctr) under down_write() to
avoid the race with other writers. This is a bit sub-optimal, only the
first writer needs this and we do not need to exclude the readers at this
stage. But this is simple, we do not want another internal lock until we
add more features.
And this speeds up the write-contended case. Before this patch the racing
writers sleep in synchronize_sched_expedited() sequentially, with this
patch multiple synchronize_sched_expedited's can "overlap" with each
other. Note: we can do more optimizations, this is only the first step.

Currently the writer does msleep() plus synchronize_sched() 3 times to
acquire/release the semaphore, and during this time the readers are
blocked completely. Even if the "write" section was not actually started
or if it was already finished.
With this patch down_write/up_write does synchronize_sched() twice and
down_read/up_read are still possible during this time, just they use the
slow path.
percpu_down_write() first forces the readers to use rw_semaphore and
increment the "slow" counter to take the lock for reading, then it
takes that rw_semaphore for writing and blocks the readers.
Also. With this patch the code relies on the documented behaviour of
synchronize_sched(), it doesn't try to pair synchronize_sched() with
barrier.

The LP855x family devices support the PWM input for the backlight control.
Period of the PWM is configurable in the platform side. Platform
specific functions are unnecessary anymore because generic PWM functions
are used inside the driver.
(PWM input mode)
To set the brightness, new lp855x_pwm_ctrl() is used.
If a PWM device is not allocated, devm_pwm_get() is called.
The PWM consumer name is from the chip name such as 'lp8550' and 'lp8556'.
To get the brightness value, no additional handling is required.
Just the value of 'props.brightness' is returned.
If the PWM driver is not ready while initializing the LP855x driver, it's
OK. The PWM device can be retrieved later, when the brightness value is
changed.
Documentation is updated with an example.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user
space interface is now complete.
This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces.
The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from
using cool new kernel features is broken.
This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
the pid, user, mount namespaces.
This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of
the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out
tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At
least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.
The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS,
ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is
currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission
checks are always applied.
The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers
so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
namespaces.
Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user
namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes
for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my
tree.
Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn
in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
/proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.
Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the
Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from
being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.
Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys."

Pull block layer core updates from Jens Axboe:
"Here are the core block IO bits for 3.8. The branch contains:
- The final version of the surprise device removal fixups from Bart.
- Don't hide EFI partitions under advanced partition types. It's
fairly wide spread these days. This is especially dangerous for
systems that have both msdos and efi partition tables, where you
want to keep them in sync.
- Cleanup of using -1 instead of the proper NUMA_NO_NODE
- Export control of bdi flusher thread CPU mask and default to using
the home node (if known) from Jeff.
- Export unplug tracepoint for MD.
- Core improvements from Shaohua. Reinstate the recursive merge, as
the original bug has been fixed. Add plugging for discard and also
fix a problem handling non pow-of-2 discard limits.
There's a trivial merge in block/blk-exec.c due to a fix that went
into 3.7-rc at a later point than -rc4 where this is based."

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sameo/mfd-2.6
Pull MFS update from Samuel Ortiz:
"This is the MFD patch set for the 3.8 merge window.
We have several new drivers, most of the time coming with their sub
devices drivers:
- Austria Microsystem's AS3711
- Nano River's viperboard
- TI's TPS80031, AM335x TS/ADC,
- Realtek's MMC/memstick card reader
- Nokia's retu
We also got some notable cleanups and improvements:
- tps6586x got converted to IRQ domains.
- tps65910 and tps65090 moved to the regmap IRQ API.
- STMPE is now Device Tree aware.
- A general twl6040 and twl-core cleanup, with moves to the regmap
I/O and IRQ APIs and a conversion to the recently added PWM
framework.
- sta2x11 gained regmap support.
Then the rest is mostly tiny cleanups and fixes, among which we have
Mark's wm5xxx and wm8xxx patchset."
Far amount of annoying but largely trivial conflicts. Many due to
__devinit/exit removal, others due to one or two of the new drivers also
having come in through another tree.

Value 0 is not a tree id, so besides an upper limit, a lower limit is
necessary as well while parsing root types of tracepoint.

Pull swiotlb update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Feature:
- Use dma addresses instead of the virt_to_phys and vice versa
functions.
Remove the multitude of phys_to_virt/virt_to_phys calls and instead
operate on the physical addresses instead of virtual in many of the
internal functions. This does provide a speed up in interrupt
handlers that do DMA operations and use SWIOTLB."

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
"There are two major features for this merge window. The first is
inline data, which allows small files or directories to be stored in
the in-inode extended attribute area. (This requires that the file
system use inodes which are at least 256 bytes or larger; 128 byte
inodes do not have any room for in-inode xattrs.)
The second new feature is SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA support. This is
enabled by the extent status tree patches, and this infrastructure
will be used to further optimize ext4 in the future.
Beyond that, we have the usual collection of code cleanups and bug
fixes."
