674dff6507 printk: change type of 'boot_delay' to int *
get_option() takes its 2nd arg as int * so passing boot_delay to it
caused following warnings from sparse:

 kernel/printk.c:223:27: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness)
 kernel/printk.c:223:27:    expected int *pint
 kernel/printk.c:223:27:    got unsigned int static [toplevel] *<noident>

Since boot_delay can't grow more than 10,000 changing it to 'int *'
will not produce any problem.

4ce6494dbd stop_machine: convert cpu notifier to return encapsulate errno value
In commit e6bde73b07edeb703d4c89c1daabc09c303de11f ("cpu-hotplug: return
better errno on cpu hotplug failure"), the cpu notifier can return an
encapsulated errno value.

This converts the cpu notifier to return an encapsulated errno value for
stop_machine().

518de9b39e fs: allow for more than 2^31 files
Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing
a 32bit value :

<quote>

We were seeing a failure which prevented boot.  The kernel was incapable
of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket.  This comes down
to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does:

        atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks);
        if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files())
                goto out;

The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files.
files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in
fs/file_table.c's files_init().

        n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10;
        files_stat.max_files = n;

In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384
(0xe0000000).  That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553.
This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow.

</quote>

Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long
integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of atomic_t.

get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long.  get_nr_files() is
changed to return a long.

unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not
strictly needed to address Robin problem.

Before patch (on a 64bit kernel) :
# echo 2147483648 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
-18446744071562067968

After patch:

# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max

3d5992d2ac oom: add per-mm oom disable count
It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be
killed to allow future memory freeing.  A subsequent patch will prevent
kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task
that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an
additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2)
function.

This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how
many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.
They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in
oom conditions.

This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it
does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the
operation is atomic.

e7f8567db9 resources: support allocating space within a region from the top down
Allocate space from the top of a region first, then work downward,
if an architecture desires this.

When we allocate space from a resource, we look for gaps between children
of the resource.  Previously, we always looked at gaps from the bottom up.
For example, given this:

    [mem 0xbff00000-0xf7ffffff] PCI Bus 0000:00
      [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap -- available
      [mem 0xc0000000-0xdfffffff] PCI Bus 0000:02
      [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap -- available

we attempted to allocate from the [mem 0xbff00000-0xbfffffff] gap first,
then the [mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] gap.

With this patch an architecture can choose to allocate from the top gap
[mem 0xe0000000-0xf7ffffff] first.

We can't do this across the board because iomem_resource.end is initialized
to 0xffffffff_ffffffff on 64-bit architectures, and most machines can't
address the entire 64-bit physical address space.  Therefore, we only
allocate top-down if the arch requests it by clearing
"resource_alloc_from_bottom".

a1862e3107 resources: handle overflow when aligning start of available area
If tmp.start is near ~0, ALIGN(tmp.start) may overflow, which would
make us think there's more available space than there really is.  We
would likely return something that conflicts with a previous resource,
which would cause a failure when allocate_resource() requests the newly-
allocated region.

6909ba14c2 resources: ensure callback doesn't allocate outside available space
The alignment callback returns a proposed location, which may have been
adjusted to avoid ISA aliases or for other architecture-specific reasons.

We already had a check ("tmp.start < tmp.end") to make sure the callback
doesn't return an area that extends past the available area.  This patch
reworks the check to make sure it doesn't return an area that extends
either below or above the available area.

312d3ca856 fs: use percpu counter for nr_dentry and nr_dentry_unused
The nr_dentry stat is a globally touched cacheline and atomic operation
twice over the lifetime of a dentry. It is used for the benfit of userspace
only. Turn it into a per-cpu counter and always decrement it in d_free instead
of doing various batching operations to reduce lock hold times in the callers.

85fe4025c6 fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode
Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

cffbc8aa33 fs: Convert nr_inodes and nr_unused to per-cpu counters
The number of inodes allocated does not need to be tied to the
addition or removal of an inode to/from a list. If we are not tied
to a list lock, we could update the counters when inodes are
initialised or destroyed, but to do that we need to convert the
counters to be per-cpu (i.e. independent of a lock). This means that
we have the freedom to change the list/locking implementation
without needing to care about the counters.

Based on a patch originally from Eric Dumazet.

Andrew,

Could you please review this patch, you probably are the right guy to
take it, because it crosses fs and net trees.

Note : /proc/sys/fs/file-nr is a read-only file, so this patch doesnt
depend on previous patch (sysctl: fix min/max handling in
__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax())

Thanks !

[PATCH V4] fs: allow for more than 2^31 files

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing
a 32bit value :

<quote>

We were seeing a failure which prevented boot.  The kernel was incapable
of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket.  This comes down
to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does:

        if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files())
                goto out;

The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files.
files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in
fs/file_table.c's files_init().

        n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10;
        files_stat.max_files = n;

In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384
(0xe0000000).  That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553.
This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow.

</quote>

Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long
integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of
atomic_t.

get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long.
get_nr_files() is changed to return a long.

unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not

5260562754 MN10300: Fix the PERCPU() alignment to allow for workqueues
In the MN10300 arch, we occasionally see an assertion being tripped in
alloc_cwqs() at the following line:

        /* just in case, make sure it's actually aligned */
  --->  BUG_ON(!IS_ALIGNED(wq->cpu_wq.v, align));
        return wq->cpu_wq.v ? 0 : -ENOMEM;

The values are:

        wa->cpu_wq.v => 0x902776e0
        align => 0x100

and align is calculated by the following:

        const size_t align = max_t(size_t, 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS,
                                   __alignof__(unsigned long long));

This is because the pointer in question (wq->cpu_wq.v) loses some of its
lower bits to control flags, and so the object it points to must be
sufficiently aligned to avoid the need to use those bits for pointing to
things.

Currently, 4 control bits and 4 colour bits are used in normal
circumstances, plus a debugging bit if debugging is set.  This requires
the cpu_workqueue_struct struct to be at least 256 bytes aligned (or 512
bytes aligned with debugging).

PERCPU() alignment on MN13000, however, is only 32 bytes as set in
vmlinux.lds.S.  So we set this to PAGE_SIZE (4096) to match most other
arches and stick a comment in alloc_cwqs() for anyone else who triggers
the assertion.

495363d380 kdb,debug_core: adjust master cpu switch logic against new debug_core locking
The kdb shell needs to enforce switching back to the original CPU that
took the exception before restoring normal kernel execution.  Resuming
from a different CPU than what took the original exception will cause
problems with spin locks that are freed from the a different processor
than had taken the lock.

The special logic in dbg_cpu_switch() can go away entirely with
because the state of what cpus want to be masters or slaves will
remain unchanged between entry and exit of the debug_core exception
context.

dfee3a7b92 debug_core: refactor locking for master/slave cpus
For quite some time there have been problems with memory barriers and
various races with NMI on multi processor systems using the kernel
debugger.  The algorithm for entering the kernel debug core and
resuming kernel execution was racy and had several known edge case
problems with attempting to debug something on a heavily loaded system
using breakpoints that are hit repeatedly and quickly.

The prior "locking" design entry worked as follows:

  * The atomic counter kgdb_active was used with atomic exchange in
    order to elect a master cpu out of all the cpus that may have
    taken a debug exception.
  * The master cpu increments all elements of passive_cpu_wait[].
  * The master cpu issues the round up cpus message.
  * Each "slave cpu" that enters the debug core increments its own
    element in cpu_in_kgdb[].
  * Each "slave cpu" spins on passive_cpu_wait[] until it becomes 0.
  * The master cpu debugs the system.

The new scheme removes the two arrays of atomic counters and replaces
them with 2 single counters.  One counter is used to count the number
of cpus waiting to become a master cpu (because one or more hit an
exception). The second counter is use to indicate how many cpus have
entered as slave cpus.

The new entry logic works as follows:

  * One or more cpus enters via kgdb_handle_exception() and increments
    the masters_in_kgdb. Each cpu attempts to get the spin lock called
    dbg_master_lock.
  * The master cpu sets kgdb_active to the current cpu.
  * The master cpu takes the spinlock dbg_slave_lock.
  * The master cpu asks to round up all the other cpus.
  * Each slave cpu that is not already in kgdb_handle_exception()
    will enter and increment slaves_in_kgdb.  Each slave will now spin
    try_locking on dbg_slave_lock.
  * The master cpu waits for the sum of masters_in_kgdb and slaves_in_kgdb
    to be equal to the sum of the online cpus.
  * The master cpu debugs the system.

In the new design the kgdb_active can only be changed while holding
dbg_master_lock.  Stress testing has not turned up any further
entry/exit races that existed in the prior locking design.  The prior
locking design suffered from atomic variables not being truly atomic
(in the capacity as used by kgdb) along with memory barrier races.

c1bb9a9c19 debug_core: disable hw_breakpoints on all cores in kgdb_cpu_enter()
The slave cpus do not have the hw breakpoints disabled upon entry to
the debug_core and as a result could cause unrecoverable recursive
faults on badly placed breakpoints, or get out of sync with the arch
specific hw breakpoint operations.

This patch addresses the problem by invoking kgdb_disable_hw_debug()
earlier in kgdb_enter_cpu for each cpu that enters the debug core.

The hw breakpoint dis/enable flow should be:

master_debug_cpu   slave_debug_cpu
         \              /
          kgdb_cpu_enter
                |
        kgdb_disable_hw_debug --> uninstall pre-enabled hw_breakpoint
                |
 do add/rm dis/enable operates to hw_breakpoints on master_debug_cpu..
                |
        correct_hw_break --> correct/install the enabled hw_breakpoint
                |
           leave_kgdb

d7842da470 perf_events: Fix for transaction recovery in group_sched_in()
This new version (see commit 8e5fc1a) is much simpler and ensures that
in case of error in group_sched_in() during event_sched_in(), the
events up to the failed event go through regular event_sched_out().
But the failed event and the remaining events in the group have their
timings adjusted as if they had also gone through event_sched_in() and
event_sched_out(). This ensures timing uniformity across all events in
a group. This also takes care of the tstamp_stopped problem in case
the group could never be scheduled. The tstamp_stopped is updated as
if the event had actually run.

With this patch, the following now reports correct time_enabled,
in case the NMI watchdog is active:

$ task -e unhalted_core_cycles,instructions_retired,baclears,baclears
noploop 1
noploop for 1 seconds

0 unhalted_core_cycles (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0)
0 instructions_retired (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0)
0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0)
0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0)

And the older test case also works:

$ task -einstructions_retired,baclears,baclears -e
unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5

1680885 instructions_retired (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006)
  10735 baclears (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006)
  10735 baclears (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006)

      0 unhalted_core_cycles (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0)
      0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0)
