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.

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 u-boot.
The OpenRISC architecture has been recently merged into upstream u-boot,
so this change gets OpenRISC Linux into sync with that project.

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.

Process accounting applications as top, ps visit some files under

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Implement UMH_KILLABLE, should be used along with UMH_WAIT_EXEC/PROC.
The caller must ensure that subprocess_info->path/etc can not go away
until call_usermodehelper_freeinfo().
call_usermodehelper_exec(UMH_KILLABLE) does
wait_for_completion_killable. If it fails, it uses
xchg(&sub_info->complete, NULL) to serialize with umh_complete() which
does the same xhcg() to access sub_info->complete.
If call_usermodehelper_exec wins, it can safely return. umh_complete()
should get NULL and call call_usermodehelper_freeinfo().
Otherwise we know that umh_complete() was already called, in this case
call_usermodehelper_exec() falls back to wait_for_completion() which
should succeed "very soon".
Note: UMH_NO_WAIT == -1 but it obviously should not be used with
UMH_KILLABLE. We delay the neccessary cleanup to simplify the back
porting.

Change zap_pid_ns_processes() to use SEND_SIG_FORCED, it looks more
clear compared to SEND_SIG_NOINFO which relies on from_ancestor_ns logic
send_signal().
It is also more efficient if we need to kill a lot of tasks because it
doesn't alloc sigqueue.

Change oom_kill_task() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED) instead
of force_sig(SIGKILL). With the recent changes we do not need force_ to
kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks.
And this is more correct. force_sig() can race with the exiting thread
even if oom_kill_task() checks p->mm != NULL, while
do_send_sig_info(group => true) kille the whole process.

force_sig_info() and friends have the special semantics for synchronous
signals, this interface should not be used if the target is not current.
And it needs the fixes, in particular the clearing of SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE
is not exactly right.
However there are callers which have to use force_ exactly because it
clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE and thus it can kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks,
although this is almost always is wrong by various reasons.
With this patch SEND_SIG_FORCED ignores SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, like we do if
the signal comes from the ancestor namespace.
This makes the naming in prepare_signal() paths insane, fixed by the
next cleanup.
Note: this only affects SIGKILL/SIGSTOP, but this is enough for
force_sig() abusers.

As described in e6fa16ab9c ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block is
pending in the shared queue.
Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f2
("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate
code across architectures. In the past some architectures got this code
wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from happening
again.

New PTRACE_EVENT_STOP is the first event which has no corresponding
PTRACE_O_TRACE option. If we will ever want to add another such option,
its PTRACE_EVENT's value will collide with PTRACE_EVENT_STOP's value.
This patch changes PTRACE_EVENT_STOP value to prevent this.

"Wait extended result codes for the above trace options", is not true

This can be used to close a few corner cases in strace where we get
unwanted racy behavior after attach, but before we have a chance to set
options (the notorious post-execve SIGTRAP comes to mind), and removes
the need to track "did we set opts for this task" state in strace
internals.
While we are at it:
Make it possible to extend SEIZE in the future with more functionality
by passing non-zero 'addr' parameter. To that end, error out if 'addr'
is non-zero. PTRACE_ATTACH did not (and still does not) have such
check, and users (strace) do pass garbage there... let's avoid
repeating this mistake with SEIZE.
Set all task->ptrace bits in one operation - before this change, we were
adding PT_SEIZED and PT_PTRACE_CAP with task->ptrace |= BIT ops. This
was probably ok (not a bug), but let's be on a safer side.
Changes since v2: use (unsigned long) casts instead of (long) ones, move
PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL-related code to separate lines of code.

Exchange PT_TRACESYSGOOD and PT_PTRACE_CAP bit positions, which makes
PT_option bits contiguous and therefore makes code in
ptrace_setoptions() much simpler.
Every PTRACE_O_TRACEevent is defined to (1 << PTRACE_EVENT_event)
instead of using explicit numeric constants, to ensure we don't mess up
relationship between bit positions and event ids.
PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT was not particularly useful, PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT with
value of PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT-1 is easier to use.
PT_TRACE_MASK constant is nuked, the only its use is replaced by
(PTRACE_O_MASK << PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT).

On ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, <opts>), we used to set those
option bits which are known, and then fail with -EINVAL if there are
some unknown bits in <opts>.
This is inconsistent with typical error handling, which does not change
any state if input is invalid.
This patch changes PTRACE_SETOPTIONS behavior so that in this case, we
return -EINVAL and don't change any bits in task->ptrace.
It's very unlikely that there is userspace code in the wild which will
be affected by this change: it should have the form
ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT)
where PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT is a constant unknown to the kernel. But kernel
headers, naturally, don't contain any PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPTs, thus the only
way userspace can use one if it defines one itself. I can't see why
anyone would do such a thing deliberately.

Another old/known problem. If the tracee is killed after it reports
syscall_entry, it starts the syscall and debugger can't control this.
This confuses the users and this creates the security problems for
ptrace jailers.
Change tracehook_report_syscall_entry() to return non-zero if killed,
this instructs syscall_trace_enter() to abort the syscall.
