Provide a simple mechanism that allows running code in the (nonatomic)
context of the arbitrary task.The caller does task_work_add(task, task_work) and this task executes
task_work->func() either from do_notify_resume() or from do_exit(). The
callback can rely on PF_EXITING to detect the latter case."struct task_work" can be embedded in another struct, still it has "void
*data" to handle the most common/simple case.This allows us to kill the ->replacement_session_keyring hack, and
potentially this can have more users.Performance-wise, this adds 2 "unlikely(!hlist_empty())" checks into
tracehook_notify_resume() and do_exit(). But at the same time we can
remove the "replacement_session_keyring != NULL" checks from
arch/*/signal.c and exit_creds().Note: task_work_add/task_work_run abuses ->pi_lock. This is only because
this lock is already used by lookup_pi_state() to synchronize with
do_exit() setting PF_EXITING. Fortunately the scope of this lock in
task_work.c is really tiny, and the code is unlikely anyway.Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov

Pull first series of signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
"This is just the first part of the queue (about a half of it);
assorted fixes all over the place in signal handling.This one ends with all sigsuspend() implementations switched to
generic one (->saved_sigmask-based).With this, a bunch of assorted old buglets are fixed and most of the
missing bits of NOTIFY_RESUME hookup are in place. Two more fixes sit
in arm and um trees respectively, and there's a couple of broken ones
that need obvious fixes - parisc and avr32 check TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
only on one of two codepaths; fixes for that will happen in the next
series"* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (55 commits)

INFO: Object 0xffff880146498250 @offset=592 fp=0xffff88014649b9d0This implied a reference counting bug and the problem happened during
mbind().mbind() applies a new memory policy to a range and uses mbind_range() to
merge existing VMAs or split them as necessary. In the event of splits,
mpol_dup() will allocate a new struct mempolicy and maintain existing
reference counts whose rules are documented in
Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt .The problem occurs with shared memory policies. The vm_op->set_policy
increments the reference count if necessary and split_vma() and
vma_merge() have already handled the existing reference counts.
However, policy_vma() screws it up by replacing an existing
vma->vm_policy with one that potentially has the wrong reference count
leading to a premature free. This patch removes the damage caused by
policy_vma().With this patch applied Dave's trinity tool runs an mbind test for 5
minutes without error. /proc/slabinfo reported that there are no
numa_policy or shared_policy_node objects allocated after the test
completed and the shared memory region was deleted.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman

Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
"This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
implementation.Highlights:
- Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.- Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.- All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add
an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
uids remains the same.- With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
better than it is today.- For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
operationally with the user namespace enabled.- The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
164ns per stat operation).- (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
entertaining failures in userspace.- If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
handle the case where setuid fails.- If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS
experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
can't map.- Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."Fix up trivial conflicts due to nearby independent changes in fs/stat.c

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
"It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
grep'ping over it, and so on."Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
there may be users out there.But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").* 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:

Pull sbp-2 (firewire) target mode support from Nicholas Bellinger:
"The FireWire SBP-2 Target is a driver for using an IEEE-1394
connection as a SCSI transport. This module uses the SCSI Target
framework to expose LUNs to other machines attached to a FireWire bus,
in effect acting as a FireWire hard disk similar to FireWire Target
Disk mode on many Apple computers.Also included are the two drivers/firewire/ patches required by
sbp-target to access fw_request fabric speed needed for mgt_agent
TCODE_WRITE_BLOCK_REQUEST ops, and exporting fw_card kref logic used
when creating/destroying active session references to individual
endpoints.A credit goes to Chris in being able to get this code up and running
so quickly w/o any target core changes, and special thanks goes out to
Stefan Richter + Clemens Ladisch + Andy Grover for their help in
getting this driver ready for mainline. Also, one of Chris's goals
was to be able to connect sbp-target to a PowerPC based MacOS-X based
client, that he accomplished along the way in this obligatory

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"This is the first big chunk for 3.5 merges of sound stuff.There are a few big changes in different areas. First off, the
streaming logic of USB-audio endpoints has been largely rewritten for
the better support of "implicit feedback". If anything about USB got
broken, this change has to be checked.For HD-audio, the resume procedure was changed; instead of delaying
the resume of the hardware until the first use, now waking up
immediately at resume. This is for buggy BIOS.For ASoC, dynamic PCM support and the improved support for digital
links between off-SoC devices are major framework changes.Some highlights are below:
* HD-audio
- Avoid accesses of invalid pin-control bits that may stall the codec
- V-ref setup cleanups
- Fix the races in power-saving code
- Fix the races in codec cache hashes and connection lists
- Split some common codes for BIOS auto-parser to hda_auto_parser.c
- Changed the PM resume code to wake up immediately for buggy BIOS
- Creative SoundCore3D support
- Add Conexant CX20751/2/3/4 codec support* ASoC
- Dynamic PCM support, allowing support for SoCs with internal
routing through components with tight sequencing and formatting
constraints within their internal paths or where there are multiple
components connected with CPU managed DMA controllers inside the
SoC.
- Greatly improved support for direct digital links between off-SoC
devices, providing a much simpler way of connecting things like
digital basebands to CODECs.
- Much more fine grained and robust locking, cleaning up some of the
confusion that crept in with multi-component.
- CPU support for nVidia Tegra 30 I2S and audio hub controllers and
ST-Ericsson MSP I2S controolers
- New CODEC drivers for Cirrus CS42L52, LAPIS Semiconductor ML26124,
Texas Instruments LM49453.
- Some regmap changes needed by the Tegra I2S driver.
- mc13783 audio support.* Misc
- Rewrite with module_pci_driver()
- Xonar DGX support for snd-oxygen
- Improvement of packet handling in snd-firewire driver
- New USB-endpoint streaming logic
- Enhanced M-audio FTU quirks and relevant cleanups

avoiding an FPU save for dead tasks."Fixed up trivial add-add conflict in arch/sh/kernel/process.c that came

Pull exception table generation updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
exception table, to speed up booting. This is achieved by the
architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT. This option is enabled
for x86 and MIPS currently.On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
exception table format was needed. This required the abstracting out
of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
assumptions about the x86 exception table format.While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
rdmsr_safe() et al.All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is
now pretty nice and modern. As an added bonus any regressions in this
code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those,
you'll know whom to blame!"Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/{mips,x86}/Kconfig files due to nearby

This reverts commit cb04ff9ac424 ("sched, perf: Use a single
callback into the scheduler").Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked
like this (wrt. to perf event schedule):schedule (prev, next)
- schedule out all perf events for prev
- switch to next
- schedule in all perf events for current (next)After the commit, the process switch looks like:
schedule (prev, next)
- schedule out all perf events for prev
- schedule in all perf events for (next)
- switch to nextThe problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu
is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the
switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event
SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current"
process).Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive
SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled
from.Discussed with Peter Zijlstra:
> Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now. Sad
> though.
>
> So by having the two hooks we have a black-spot between them
> where we receive no events at all, this black-spot covers the
> hand-over of current and we thus don't receive the 'wrong'
> events.
>
> I rather liked we could do away with both that black-spot and
> clean up the code a little, but apparently people rely on it.Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa
