Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton:
"The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to
merge things.I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been
wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel
at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward
completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped
complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back
and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion."* emailed from Andrew Morton : (16 patches)

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:
@ open @

identifier i, f;

Builds of the MIPS platform ip32_defconfig fails as of commit
0195c00244dc ("Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h ...") because MIPS xchg()
macro uses BUILD_BUG_ON and it was moved in commit b81947c646bf
("Disintegrate asm/system.h for MIPS").The root cause is that the system.h split wasn't tested on a baseline
with commit 6c03438edeb5 ("kernel.h: doesn't explicitly use bug.h, so
don't include it.")Since this file uses BUG code in several other places besides the xchg

The function for_each_cpu_mask() expects a *pointer* to struct
cpumask as its second argument, whereas select_fallback_rq()
passes the value itself.And moreover, for_each_cpu_mask() has been marked as obselete
in include/linux/cpumask.h. So move to the more appropriate
for_each_cpu() variant.Reported-by: Sasha Levin

irq_move_masked_irq() checks the return code of
chip->irq_set_affinity() only for 0, but IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY is
also a valid return code, which is there to avoid a redundant copy of
the cpumask. But in case of IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY we not only avoid
the redundant copy, we also fail to adjust the thread affinity of an
eventually threaded interrupt handler.Handle IRQ_SET_MASK_OK (==0) and IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY(==1) return
values correctly by checking the valid return values seperately.Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu

Pull urgent cgroup fix from Tejun Heo:
"Commit 61d1d219c4c0 ('cgroup: remove extra calls to
find_existing_css_set') which was part of the rc1 cgroup pull request
made writes to the cgroup "tasks" file return an uninitialized retval
on success which can cause boot failures with systemd.The change stayed in linux-next for quite some time but gcc
interestingly failed to emit warning about using uninitialized
variable and the problem seems to materialize only for certain build
combinations (probably depends on register allocation).It's just missing local variable initialization and the fix is trivial

fast-tracking it. Also included is Li's email address change in

cgroup: cgroup_attach_task() could return -errno after success
cgroup: update MAINTAINERS entry -
61d1d219c4 "cgroup: remove extra calls to find_existing_css_set" made
cgroup_task_migrate() return void. An unfortunate side effect was
that cgroup_attach_task() was depending on that function's return
value to clear its @retval on the success path. On cgroup mounts
without any subsystem with ->can_attach() callback,
cgroup_attach_task() ended up returning @retval without initializing
it on success.For some reason, gcc failed to warn about it and it didn't cause
cgroup_attach_task() to return non-zero value in many cases, probably
due to difference in register allocation. When the problem
materializes, systemd fails to populate /systemd cgroup mount and
fails to boot.Fix it by initializing @retval to zero on declaration.

There is extra state information that needs to be exposed in the
kgdb_bpt structure for tracking how a breakpoint was installed. The
debug_core only uses the the probe_kernel_write() to install
breakpoints, but this is not enough for all the archs. Some arch such
as x86 need to use text_poke() in order to install a breakpoint into a
read only page.Passing the kgdb_bpt structure to kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() and
kgdb_arch_remove_breakpoint() allows other archs to set the type
variable which indicates how the breakpoint was installed.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # >= 2.6.36

It was possible to extract the robust list head address from a setuid
process if it had used set_robust_list(), allowing an ASLR info leak. This
changes the permission checks to be the same as those used for similar
info that comes out of /proc.Running a setuid program that uses robust futexes would have had:
cred->euid != pcred->euid
cred->euid == pcred->uid
so the old permissions check would allow it. I'm not aware of any setuid
programs that use robust futexes, so this is just a preventative measure.(This patch is based on changes from grsecurity.)

The only place irq_finalize_oneshot() is called with force parameter set
is the threaded handler error exit path. But IRQTF_RUNTHREAD is dropped
at this point and irq_wake_thread() is not going to set it again,

will drop the threads bit in threads_oneshot anyway and hence the force

If schedule is called from an interrupt handler __schedule_bug()
will call show_regs() with the registers saved during the
interrupt handling done in do_IRQ(). This means we'll see the
registers and the backtrace for the process that was interrupted
and not the full backtrace explaining who called schedule().This is due to 838225b ("sched: use show_regs() to improve
__schedule_bug() output", 2007-10-24) which improperly assumed
that get_irq_regs() would return the registers for the current
stack because it is being called from within an interrupt
handler. Simply remove the show_reg() code so that we dump a
backtrace for the interrupt handler that called schedule().[ I ran across this when I was presented with a scheduling while
atomic log with a stacktrace pointing at spin_unlock_irqrestore().
It made no sense and I had to guess what interrupt handler could
be called and poke around for someone calling schedule() in an
interrupt handler. A simple test of putting an msleep() in
an interrupt handler works better with this patch because you
can actually see the msleep() call in the backtrace. ]Also-reported-by: Chris Metcalf

In the case of a child pid namespace, rebooting the system does not really
makes sense. When the pid namespace is used in conjunction with the other
namespaces in order to create a linux container, the reboot syscall leads
to some problems.A container can reboot the host. That can be fixed by dropping the
sys_reboot capability but we are unable to correctly to poweroff/
halt/reboot a container and the container stays stuck at the shutdown time
with the container's init process waiting indefinitively.After several attempts, no solution from userspace was found to reliabily
handle the shutdown from a container.This patch propose to make the init process of the child pid namespace to
exit with a signal status set to : SIGINT if the child pid namespace
called "halt/poweroff" and SIGHUP if the child pid namespace called
"reboot". When the reboot syscall is called and we are not in the initial
pid namespace, we kill the pid namespace for "HALT", "POWEROFF",
"RESTART", and "RESTART2". Otherwise we return EINVAL.Returning EINVAL is also an easy way to check if this feature is supported
by the kernel when invoking another 'reboot' option like CAD.By this way the parent process of the child pid namespace knows if it
rebooted or not and can take the right decision.Test case:

Use bitmap_set() instead of using set_bit() for each bit. This conversion
is valid because the bitmap is private in the function call and atomic
bitops were unnecessary.This also includes minor change.

nommu platforms don't have very interesting swapper_pg_dir pointers and
usually just #define them to NULL, meaning that we can't include them in
the vmcoreinfo on the kexec crash path.This patch only saves the swapper_pg_dir if we have an MMU.
