Move Steve's code for finding the best 5-byte no-op from ftrace.c to

Aside from allowing software events into a !software group,
allow adding !software events to pure software groups.
Once we've moved the software group and attached the first
!software event, the group will no longer be a pure software
group and hence no longer be eligible for movement, at which
point the straight ctx comparison is correct again.

Events were not grouped anymore. The reason was that in
perf_event_open(), the field event->group_leader was
initialized before the function looked up the group_fd
to find the event leader. This patch fixes this by

This patch adds new generic events for dynamic power management
tracing:
- clock events class: used for clock enable/disable and for
clock rate change,
- power_domain events class: used for power domains transitions.
The OMAP architecture will be using the new events for PM debugging,
however the new events are made generic enough to be used by all
platforms.

The kernel perf event creation path shouldn't use find_task_by_vpid()
because a vpid exists in a specific namespace. find_task_by_vpid() uses
current's pid namespace which isn't always the correct namespace to use
for the vpid in all the places perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and
thus find_get_context()) is called.
The goal is to clean up pid namespace handling and prevent bugs like:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281
Instead of using pids switch find_get_context() to use task struct
pointers directly. The syscall is responsible for resolving the pid to
a task struct. This moves the pid namespace resolution into the syscall
much like every other syscall that takes pid parameters.

Hardware breakpoints can't be registered within pid namespaces
because tsk->pid is passed rather than the pid in the current
namespace.
(See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17281 )
This is a quick fix demonstrating the problem but is not the
best method of solving the problem since passing pids internally
is not the best way to avoid pid namespace bugs. Subsequent patches
will show a better solution.

In case you boot with the watchdog disabled, i.e., nowatchdog, then,
if you try to disable it via /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog, you get
a kernel crash. The reason is that you are trying to cancel a hrtimer
which has never been initialized.
This patch fixes this by skipping execution of
watchdog_disable_all_cpus() when the watchdog is marked
disabled from boot.

When the function graph tracer funcgraph-irq option is zero, disable
tracing in IRQs. This makes the option have two effects.
1) When reading the trace file, do not display the functions that
happen in interrupt context (when detected)
2) [*new*] When recording a trace, skip those that are detected
to be in interrupt by the 'in_irq()' function
Note, in_irq() is updated at irq_enter() and irq_exit(). There are
still functions that are recorded by the function graph tracer that
is in interrupt context but outside the irq_enter/exit() routines.

It's handy to be able to disable the irq related output
and not to have to jump over each irq related code, when
you have no interrest in it.
The option is by default enabled, so there's no change to
current behaviour. It affects only the final output, so all
the irq related data stay in the ring buffer.

If we do:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug
# echo 'do_IRQ:traceon schedule:traceon sys_write:traceon' > \
set_ftrace_filter
# cat set_ftrace_filter
We get the following output:
#### all functions enabled ####
sys_write:traceon:unlimited
schedule:traceon:unlimited
do_IRQ:traceon:unlimited
This outputs two lists. One is the fact that all functions are
currently enabled for function tracing, the other has three probed
functions, which happen to have 'traceon' as their commands.
Currently, when reading the first list (functions enabled) the
seq_file code will receive a "NULL" from the t_next() function
causing it to exit early. This makes "read()" from userspace stop
reading the code at this boarder. Although read is allowed to do this,
some (broken) applications might consider this an end of file and
stop early.
This patch adds the start of the second list to t_next() when it
finishes the first list. It is a simple change and gives the
set_ftrace_filter file nicer reading ability.

This patch keeps track of the index within the elements of
set_ftrace_filter and if the position goes backwards, it nicely

The set_ftrace_filter uses seq_file and reads from two lists. The
pointer returned by t_next() can either be of type struct dyn_ftrace
or struct ftrace_func_probe. If there is a bug (there was one)
the wrong pointer may be used and the reference can cause an oops.
This patch makes t_next() and friends only return the iterator structure
which now has a pointer of type struct dyn_ftrace and struct
ftrace_func_probe. The t_show() can now test if the pointer is NULL or
not and if the pointer exists, it is guaranteed to be of the correct type.
Now if there's a bug, only wrong data will be shown but not an oops.

After the filtered functions are read, the probed functions are read
from the hash in set_ftrace_filter. When the hashed probed functions
are read, the *pos passed in is reset. Instead of modifying the pos
given to the read function, just record the pos where the filtered
functions ended and subtract from that.

Mathieu reported bad latencies with make -j10 kind of kbuild

maximum latency: 38278.9 µs
average latency: 7730.1 µs

There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls
preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than
the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's
the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn
can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation.
To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument
before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of
saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of
a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to
allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by
preallocate_image_memory() is too low.
Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory
allocation patterns into account.

processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel
create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting
held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would
stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be
cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion
processing was being seen to slow everything down even further.
By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue,
they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and
processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never
gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as
quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos
the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.
Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and
environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already
a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new
points in the abstract sense.
When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time
spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice.
So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system
when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not
check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack.
When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON.
This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to
create a crash pretty easily.
Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible
to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual
executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those
mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But
that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a
kernel problem.

Fix a bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() whereby it tries to check the ownership
of the parent process's session keyring whether or not the parent has a session
keyring [CVE-2010-2960].
This results in the following oops:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000a0
IP: [<ffffffff811ae4dd>] keyctl_session_to_parent+0x251/0x443
...
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff811ae2f3>] ? keyctl_session_to_parent+0x67/0x443
[<ffffffff8109d286>] ? __do_fault+0x24b/0x3d0
[<ffffffff811af98c>] sys_keyctl+0xb4/0xb8
[<ffffffff81001eab>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
if the parent process has no session keyring.
If the system is using pam_keyinit then it mostly protected against this as all
processes derived from a login will have inherited the session keyring created
by pam_keyinit during the log in procedure.
To test this, pam_keyinit calls need to be commented out in /etc/pam.d/.
