b433c3d454 init, sched: Fix race between init and kthreadd
Ilya reported that on a very slow machine he could reliably
reproduce a race between forking init and kthreadd. We first
fork init so that it  obtains pid-1, however since the scheduler
is already fully running at this point it can preempt and run
the init thread before we spawn and set kthreadd_task.

The init thread can then attempt spawning kthreads without
kthreadd being present which results in an OOPS.

75cbfb97a1 ACPI: Do not try to set up acpi processor stuff on cores exceeding maxcpus=
Patch is against latest Linus master branch and is expected to be
safe bug fix.

You get:
ACPI: HARDWARE addr space,NOT supported yet
for each ACPI defined CPU which status is active, but exceeds
maxcpus= count.

As these "not booted" CPUs do not run an idle routine
and echo X >/proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling did not work
I couldn't find a way to really access not onlined/booted
machines. Still this should get fixed and
/proc/acpi/processor/X dirs of cores exceeding maxcpus
should not show up.

I wonder whether this could get cleaned up by truncating possible cpu mask
and nr_cpu_ids to setup_max_cpus early some day
(and not exporting setup_max_cpus anymore then).
But this needs touching of a lot other places...

1f522509c7 mem-hotplug: avoid multiple zones sharing same boot strapping boot_pageset
For each new populated zone of hotadded node, need to update its pagesets
with dynamically allocated per_cpu_pageset struct for all possible CPUs:

    1) Detach zone->pageset from the shared boot_pageset
       at end of __build_all_zonelists().

    2) Use mutex to protect zone->pageset when it's still
       shared in onlined_pages()

Otherwises, multiple zones of different nodes would share same boot strapping
boot_pageset for same CPU, which will finally cause below kernel panic:

0b4b3827db x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug states
The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86
hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the
kernel allocators are initialized.

This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch
specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after
the kernel has been further initialized.

The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early
initialization and late initialization.  The kdb_init() was moved into
the debug core's version of the late init which is called
dbg_late_init();

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

7463e633c5 init/main.c: make setup_max_cpus static for !SMP
The only in tree external users of the symbol setup_max_cpus are in
arch/x86/.  The files ./kernel/alternative.c, ./kernel/visws_quirks.c, and
./mm/kmemcheck/kmemcheck.c are all guarded by CONFIG_SMP being defined.
For this case the symbol is an unsigned int and declared as an extern in
include/linux/smp.h.

When CONFIG_SMP is not defined the symbol setup_max_cpus is
a constant value that is only used in init/main.c.  Make the symbol
static for this case.

452aa6999e mm/pm: force GFP_NOIO during suspend/hibernation and resume
There are quite a few GFP_KERNEL memory allocations made during
suspend/hibernation and resume that may cause the system to hang, because
the I/O operations they depend on cannot be completed due to the
underlying devices being suspended.

Avoid this problem by clearing the __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS bits in
gfp_allowed_mask before suspend/hibernation and restoring the original
values of these bits in gfp_allowed_mask durig the subsequent resume.

2bd3a997be init: Open /dev/console from rootfs
To avoid potential problems with an empty /dev open /dev/console
from rootfs instead of waiting to mount our root filesystem and
mounting it there.   This effectively guarantees that there will
be a device node, and it won't be on a filesystem that we will
ever unmount, so there are no issues with leaving /dev/console
open and pinning the filesystem.

This is actually more effective than automatically mounting
devtmpfs on /dev because it removes removes the occasionally
problematic assumption that /dev/console exists from the boot
code.

With this patch I was able to throw busybox on my /boot partition
(which has no /dev directory) and boot into userspace without
problems.

The only possible negative consequence I can think of is that
someone out there deliberately used did not use a character device
that is major 5 minor 2 for /dev/console.  Does anyone know of a
situation in which that could make sense?

54bb6552bd ima: initialize ima before inodes can be allocated
ima wants to create an inode information struct (iint) when inodes are
allocated.  This means that at least the part of ima which does this
allocation (the allocation is filled with information later) should
before any inodes are created.  To accomplish this we split the ima
initialization routine placing the kmem cache allocator inside a
security_initcall() function.  Since this makes use of radix trees we also
need to make sure that is initialized before security_initcall().

 * remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it

NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however
due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related
headers and files alone.

1eba8f8438 rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh Triplett, part 2
These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code
review extending over many hours.

o	Add comments for tricky parts of code, and correct comments
	that have passed their sell-by date.

o	Get rid of the vestiges of rcu_init_sched(), which is no
	longer needed now that PREEMPT_RCU is gone.

o	Move the #include of rcutree_plugin.h to the end of
	rcutree.c, which means that, rather than having a random
	collection of forward declarations, the new set of forward
	declarations document the set of plugins.  The new home for
	this #include also allows __rcu_init_preempt() to move into
	rcutree_plugin.h.

o	Fix rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() to be static.

4481374ce8 mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pages
Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical
pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount
of) non-RAM pages.  The amount of what actually is usable as storage
should instead be used as a basis here.

Some of the calculations (i.e.  those not intending to use high memory)
should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

2b2af54a5b Driver Core: devtmpfs - kernel-maintained tmpfs-based /dev
Devtmpfs lets the kernel create a tmpfs instance called devtmpfs
very early at kernel initialization, before any driver-core device
is registered. Every device with a major/minor will provide a
device node in devtmpfs.

Devtmpfs can be changed and altered by userspace at any time,
and in any way needed - just like today's udev-mounted tmpfs.
Unmodified udev versions will run just fine on top of it, and will
recognize an already existing kernel-created device node and use it.
The default node permissions are root:root 0600. Proper permissions
and user/group ownership, meaningful symlinks, all other policy still
needs to be applied by userspace.

If a node is created by devtmps, devtmpfs will remove the device node
when the device goes away. If the device node was created by
userspace, or the devtmpfs created node was replaced by userspace, it
will no longer be removed by devtmpfs.

If it is requested to auto-mount it, it makes init=/bin/sh work
without any further userspace support. /dev will be fully populated
and dynamic, and always reflect the current device state of the kernel.
With the commonly used dynamic device numbers, it solves the problem
where static devices nodes may point to the wrong devices.

It is intended to make the initial bootup logic simpler and more robust,
by de-coupling the creation of the inital environment, to reliably run
userspace processes, from a complex userspace bootstrap logic to provide
a working /dev.

7db905e636 rcu: Move end of special early-boot RCU operation earlier
Ingo was getting warnings from rcu_scheduler_starting()
indicating that context switches had occurred before RCU ended
its special early-boot handling of grace periods.

This is a dangerous condition, as it indicates that RCU might
have prematurely ended grace periods.  This exploratory fix
moves rcu_scheduler_starting() earlier in boot.

fa84e9eecf init: Move sched_clock_init after late_time_init
Some architectures initialize clocks and timers in late_time_init and
x86 wants to do the same to avoid FIXMAP hackery for calibrating the
TSC. That would result in undefined sched_clock readout and wreckaged
printk timestamps again. We probably have those already on archs which
do all their time/clock setup in late_time_init.

There is no harm to move that after late_time_init except that a few
more boot timestamps are stale. The scheduler is not active at that
point so no real wreckage is expected.

The oops did not reveal any more details about the real stack
that we have and the system got into an infinite loop of
recursive pagefaults.

So i booted with CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=y and the 'stacktrace' boot
parameter. The box did not crash (timings/conditions probably
changed a tiny bit to trigger the catastrophic crash), but the
/debug/tracing/stack_trace file was rather revealing:

There's a lot of fat functions on that stack trace, but
the largest of all is do_one_initcall(). This is due to
the boot trace entry variables being on the stack.

Fixing this is relatively easy, initcalls are fundamentally
serialized, so we can move the local variables to file scope.

Note that this large stack footprint was present for a
couple of months already - what pushed my system over
the edge was the addition of kmemleak to the call-chain:

  6)     3328      36   allocate_slab+0xb1/0x100
  7)     3292      36   new_slab+0x1c/0x160
  8)     3256      36   __slab_alloc+0x133/0x2b0
  9)     3220       4   kmem_cache_alloc+0x1bb/0x1d0
 10)     3216     108   create_object+0x28/0x250
 11)     3108      40   kmemleak_alloc+0x81/0xc0
 12)     3068      24   kmem_cache_alloc+0x162/0x1d0
 13)     3044      52   scsi_pool_alloc_command+0x29/0x70

This pushes the total to ~3800 bytes, only a tiny bit
more was needed to corrupt the on-kernel-stack thread_info.

The fix reduces the stack footprint from 572 bytes
to 28 bytes.

e74e396204 percpu: use dynamic percpu allocator as the default percpu allocator
This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
dynamic percpu allocator.  The first chunk is allocated using
embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules.  This ensures that
the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
introduce much breakage.

s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
range limit the addressing model imposes.  Unfortunately, this breaks
if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
archs aren't converted.

The following architectures are affected by this change.

* sh
* arm
* cris
* mips
* sparc(32)
* blackfin
* avr32
* parisc (broken, under investigation)
* m32r
* powerpc(32)

As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
archs.  These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
conversion is not trivial.

* powerpc(64)
* sparc(64)
* ia64
* alpha
* s390

Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
doesn't use default first chunk initialization).  Compile tested on
sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.

Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc.  The problem is
still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
forward and fixing parisc later.

[ Impact: use dynamic allocator for most archs w/o custom percpu setup ]

31950eb66f mm/init: cpu_hotplug_init() must be initialized before SLAB
SLAB uses get/put_online_cpus() which use a mutex which is itself only
initialized when cpu_hotplug_init() is called.  Currently we hang suring
boot in SLAB due to doing that too late.

Reported by James Bottomley and Sachin Sant (and possibly others).
Debugged by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.

This just removes the dynamic initialization of the data structures, and
replaces it with a static one, avoiding this dependency entirely, and
removing one unnecessary special initcall.

58568d2a82 cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time
Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory
spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is
changed.

In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of
memory policy.  Because the memory policy is applied in the process's
context originally.  After applying this patch, one task directly
manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the
task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task.

But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a
lock may lead to performance regression.  But if we don't add a lock,the
task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some
non-overlapping set.  In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes,
then clear newly disallowed ones.

[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:
  The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to
  apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind()
  with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local
  allocation.  Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty
  node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy().

  Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new().

  Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL
  'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new().
  Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for
  'empty'.  However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to
  verify this assumption.]
[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:

  I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive
  enough to differentiate it from mpol_new().

  This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes
  to those allowed by the cpuset.  However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag
  is set, it also translates the nodes.  So I settled on
  'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions
  that we need to call this function to "set nodes".

  Some additional minor line length, whitespace and typo cleanup.]
