Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,
Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).7kloc removed.

Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs. This means making
PDE_DATA() out of line. This could be made more optimal by storing
PDE()->data into inode->i_private.Also provide a __PDE_DATA() that is inline and internal to procfs.

Now get_vmalloc_info() is in fs/proc/mmu.c. There is no reason that this
code must be here and it's implementation needs vmlist_lock and it iterate
a vmlist which may be internal data structure for vmalloc.It is preferable that vmlist_lock and vmlist is only used in vmalloc.c
for maintainability. So move the code to vmalloc.cSigned-off-by: Joonsoo Kim

I had visions at one point of splitting proc into two filesystems. If
that had happened proc/self being the the part of proc that actually deals
with pids would have been a nice cleanup. As it is proc/self requires
a lot of unnecessary infrastructure for a single file.The only user visible change is that a mounted /proc for a pid namespace
that is dead now shows a broken proc symlink, instead of being completely
invisible. I don't think anyone will notice or care.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

/proc//numa_maps scans vma and show mempolicy under
mmap_sem. It sometimes accesses task->mempolicy which can
be freed without mmap_sem and numa_maps can show some
garbage while scanning.This patch tries to take reference count of task->mempolicy at reading
numa_maps before calling get_vma_policy(). By this, task->mempolicy
will not be freed until numa_maps reaches its end.V2->v3
- updated comments to be more verbose.
- removed task_lock() in numa_maps code.
V1->V2
- access task->mempolicy only once and remember it. Becase kernel/exit.c
can overwrite it.Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki

When we do checkpoint of a task we need to know the list of children the
task, has but there is no easy and fast way to generate reverse
parent->children chain from arbitrary (while a parent pid is
provided in "PPid" field of /proc//status).So instead of walking over all pids in the system (creating one big
process tree in memory, just to figure out which children a task has) --
we add explicit /proc//task//children entry, because the kernel
already has this kind of information but it is not yet exported.This is a first level children, not the whole process tree.

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.* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl: (36 commits)
sysctl: protect poll() in entries that may go away
sysctl: Don't call sysctl_follow_link unless we are a link.
sysctl: Comments to make the code clearer.
sysctl: Correct error return from get_subdir
sysctl: An easier to read version of find_subdir
sysctl: fix memset parameters in setup_sysctl_set()
sysctl: remove an unused variable
sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users
sysctl: Index sysctl directories with rbtrees.
sysctl: Make the header lists per directory.
sysctl: Move sysctl_check_dups into insert_header
sysctl: Modify __register_sysctl_paths to take a set instead of a root and an nsproxy
sysctl: Replace root_list with links between sysctl_table_sets.
sysctl: Add sysctl_print_dir and use it in get_subdir
sysctl: Stop requiring explicit management of sysctl directories
sysctl: Add a root pointer to ctl_table_set
sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_readdir in terms of first_entry and next_entry
sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_lookup introducing find_entry and lookup_entry.
sysctl: Normalize the root_table data structure.
sysctl: Factor out insert_header and erase_header

Stack for a new thread is mapped by userspace code and passed via
sys_clone. This memory is currently seen as anonymous in
/proc//maps, which makes it difficult to ascertain which mappings
are being used for thread stacks. This patch uses the individual task
stack pointers to determine which vmas are actually thread stacks.For a multithreaded program like the following:
#include
void *thread_main(void *foo)
{
while(1);
}int main()
{
pthread_t t;
pthread_create(&t, NULL, thread_main, NULL);
pthread_join(t, NULL);
}proc/PID/maps looks like the following:

the earlier vma that has no permissions (7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000) but
that is not always a reliable way to find out which vma is a thread
stack. Also, /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps has the same
content.With this patch in place, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps are treated as 'maps
as the task would see it' and hence, only the vma that that task uses as
stack is marked as [stack]. All other 'stack' vmas are marked as
anonymous memory. /proc/PID/maps acts as a thread group level view,
where all thread stack vmas are marked as [stack:TID] where TID is the
process ID of the task that uses that vma as stack, while the process
stack is marked as [stack].So /proc/PID/maps will look like this:

Move the core sysctl code from kernel/sysctl.c and kernel/sysctl_check.c
into fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c.Currently sysctl maintenance is hampered by the sysctl implementation
being split across 3 files with artificial layering between them.
Consolidate the entire sysctl implementation into 1 file so that
it is easier to see what is going on and hopefully allowing for
simpler maintenance.For functions that are now only used in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c remove
their declarations from sysctl.h and make them static in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.cSigned-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

Create files under /proc//ns/ to allow controlling the
namespaces of a process.This addresses three specific problems that can make namespaces hard to
work with.
- Namespaces require a dedicated process to pin them in memory.
- It is not possible to use a namespace unless you are the child
of the original creator.
- Namespaces don't have names that userspace can use to talk about
them.The namespace files under /proc//ns/ can be opened and the
file descriptor can be used to talk about a specific namespace, and
to keep the specified namespace alive.A namespace can be kept alive by either holding the file descriptor
open or bind mounting the file someplace else. aka:
mount --bind /proc/self/ns/net /some/filesystem/path
mount --bind /proc/self/fd/ /some/filesystem/pathThis allows namespaces to be named with userspace policy.
It requires additional support to make use of these filedescriptors
and that will be comming in the following patches.Acked-by: Daniel Lezcano

* de_get() is trivial -- make inline, save a few bits of code, drop
"refcount is 0" check -- it should be done in some generic refcount
code, don't recall it's was helpful* rename GET and PUT functions to pde_get(), pde_put() for cool prefix!
* remove obvious and incorrent comments
* in remove_proc_entry() use pde_put(), when I fixed PDE refcounting to
be normal one, remove_proc_entry() was supposed to do "-1" and code now
reflects that.Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

struct proc_dir_entry::owner is going to be removed. Now it's only necessary
to protect PDEs which are using ->read_proc, ->write_proc hooks.However, ->owner assignments are racy and make it very easy for someone to switch
->owner on live PDE (as some subsystems do) without fixing refcounts and so on.http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454
So, ->owner is on death row.
Proxy file operations exist already (proc_file_operations), just bump usecount
when necessary.Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems:
(1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
shmat's (and forks) done.(2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
process or a dead process.A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.This patch makes the following additional changes:
(1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead,
each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is
interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.(2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.(3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may
end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
appended to the sort key.(4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.
(5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if
necessary.(6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple
shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.(7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.
(8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
that aren't actually mapped anywhere.(9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not
anonymous.These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).Signed-off-by: David Howells
