         * Fix CPU bring-up code missing a call to notify other subsystems.
         * Fix reading /sys/hypervisor even if PVonHVM drivers are not loaded.
         * In Xen ACPI processor driver: remove too verbose WARN messages, fix
           up the Kconfig dependency to be a module by default, and add
           dependency on CPU_FREQ.
         * Disable CPU frequency drivers from loading when booting under Xen
           (as we want the Xen ACPI processor to be used instead).

      Fix potential endless loop in kswapd when compaction is not enabled · 496b919b
      Rik van Riel authored
      We should only test compaction_suitable if the kernel is built with
      CONFIG_COMPACTION, otherwise the stub compaction_suitable function will
      always return COMPACT_SKIPPED and send kswapd into an infinite loop.

      Pull <linux/device.h> avoidance patches from Paul Gortmaker:
       "Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like:
      
      	void foo(struct device *dev);
      
        and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the
        sub fields within the device struct.  This allows us to significantly
        reduce the scope of headers including headers.  For this instance, a
        reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the
        simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct.
      
        Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two
        commits.  One to fix the implicit <linux/device.h> users, and then one
        to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir wherever
        possible."

        These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously.  We now have
        things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
        subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible.  What is
        remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
        single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.
      
        Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
        independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed."

      Pull <linux/bug.h> cleanup from Paul Gortmaker:
       "The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one
        <linux/bug.h> file.  Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code
        in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e.  the support for BUILD_BUG in
        linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in
        kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As a band-aid, kernel.h
        was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
      
        This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.  Here
        is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
      
            CC      lib/string.o
            lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
            lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
            make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
            $
            $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
            #include <linux/bug.h>
            $
      
        We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
        still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh -
        very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
      
        With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
      
        1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
           implicit presence of BUG code.
        2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence
           relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
        3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
        4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
      
        During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.  But
        to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build
        failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem
        areas in advance.

      Pull sysctl updates from Eric Biederman:
      
       - Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity.
      
         Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
         are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing
         network devices.
      
         sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
         and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c.  Hopefully
         this means the code is now approachable.
      
         Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
         something was found that was usable.
      
       - The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation
         is fixed.

      Pull OpenRISC changes for 3.4 from Jonas Bonn:
       "This series for the OpenRISC architecture consists of mostly trivial
        fixups.  The most interesting bits of the series are:
      
        * A fix to the timer code whereby the shortest trigger period is set
          to 100 cycles; previously, it was possible to set this to 1 cycle,
          but by the time the register was written, that time had already
          passed and the timer interrupt would not go off until the cycle
          counter had gone a full cycle.
      
        * Allowing a device tree binary to be passed in to the kernel from

      Pravin B Shelar authored
      The namespace cleanup path leaks a dentry which holds a reference count
      on a network namespace.  Keeping that network namespace from being freed
      when the last user goes away.  Leaving things like vlan devices in the
      leaked network namespace.
      
      If you use ip netns add for much real work this problem becomes apparent
      pretty quickly.  It light testing the problem hides because frequently
      you simply don't notice the leak.
      
      Use d_set_d_op() so that DCACHE_OP_* flags are set correctly.
      
      This issue exists back to 3.0.

      and /proc/<pid>/statm files.
      
      This patch adds
        - seq_put_decimal_ll() for signed values.
        - allow delimiter == 0.
        - convert seq_printf() to seq_put_decimal_ull/ll in /proc/stat, statm.
      
      Test result on a system with 2000+ procs.

      Considering top, ps tend to scan /proc periodically, this will reduce cpu
      consumption by top/ps to some extent.

      proc: speed up /proc/stat handling · 59a32e2c
      Eric Dumazet authored
      On a typical 16 cpus machine, "cat /proc/stat" gives more than 4096 bytes,
      and is slow :
      
        # strace -T -o /tmp/STRACE cat /proc/stat | wc -c
        5826
        # grep "cpu " /tmp/STRACE
        read(0, "cpu  1949310 19 2144714 12117253"..., 32768) = 5826 <0.001504>
      
      Thats partly because show_stat() must be called twice since initial
      buffer size is too small (4096 bytes for less than 32 possible cpus)
      
      Fix this by :
      
       1) Taking into account nr_irqs in the initial buffer sizing.
      
       2) Using ksize() to allow better filling of initial buffer.

      coredump: add VM_NODUMP, MADV_NODUMP, MADV_CLEAR_NODUMP · accb61fe
      Jason Baron authored
      Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit
      for 'VM_NODUMP' flag.  The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag:
      MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request
      memory regions which should not dump core.
      
      The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there
      that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core.  This flag
      might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely
      make sure that parts of memory are not dumped.  To clear the flag use:
      MADV_DODUMP.

      coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag · 909af768
      Jason Baron authored
      The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
      qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
      can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
      /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
      of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
      case).
      
      Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
      the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
      the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
      enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
      for this flag.
      
      The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
      'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
      'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
      continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
      region.
      
      The qemu code which implements this features is at:
      
        http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
      
      In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
      patch.
      
      I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
      security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
      dumped.
      
      This patch:
      
      The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
      indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
      can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
      the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
      arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

      kmod: make __request_module() killable · 1cc684ab
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      As Tetsuo Handa pointed out, request_module() can stress the system
      while the oom-killed caller sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.
      
      The task T uses "almost all" memory, then it does something which
      triggers request_module().  Say, it can simply call sys_socket().  This
      in turn needs more memory and leads to OOM.  oom-killer correctly
      chooses T and kills it, but this can't help because it sleeps in
      TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and after that oom-killer becomes "disabled" by the
      TIF_MEMDIE task T.
      
      Make __request_module() killable.  The only necessary change is that
      call_modprobe() should kmalloc argv and module_name, they can't live in
      the stack if we use UMH_KILLABLE.  This memory is freed via
      call_usermodehelper_freeinfo()->cleanup.

      Minor cleanup.  ____call_usermodehelper() can simply return, no need to
      call do_exit() explicitely.
