f9fab10bbd hung_task: fix false positive during vfork
vfork parent uninterruptibly and unkillably waits for its child to
exec/exit. This wait is of unbounded length. Ignore such waits
in the hung_task detector.

e6780f7243 futex: Fix uninterruptible loop due to gate_area
It was found (by Sasha) that if you use a futex located in the gate
area we get stuck in an uninterruptible infinite loop, much like the
ZERO_PAGE issue.

While looking at this problem, PeterZ realized you'll get into similar
trouble when hitting any install_special_pages() mapping.  And are there
still drivers setting up their own special mmaps without page->mapping,
and without special VM or pte flags to make get_user_pages fail?

In most cases, if page->mapping is NULL, we do not need to retry at all:
Linus points out that even /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches poses no problem,
because it ends up using remove_mapping(), which takes care not to
interfere when the page reference count is raised.

But there is still one case which does need a retry: if memory pressure
called shmem_writepage in between get_user_pages_fast dropping page
table lock and our acquiring page lock, then the page gets switched from
filecache to swapcache (and ->mapping set to NULL) whatever the refcount.
Fault it back in to get the page->mapping needed for key->shared.inode.

3d3c8f93a2 binary_sysctl(): fix memory leak
binary_sysctl() calls sysctl_getname() which allocates from names_cache
slab usin __getname()

The matching function to free the name is __putname(), and not putname()
which should be used only to match getname() allocations.

This is because when auditing is enabled, putname() calls audit_putname
*instead* (not in addition) to __putname().  Then, if a syscall is in
progress, audit_putname does not release the name - instead, it expects
the name to get released when the syscall completes, but that will happen
only if audit_getname() was called previously, i.e.  if the name was
allocated with getname() rather than the naked __getname().  So,
__getname() followed by putname() ends up leaking memory.

b246272ecc cpusets: stall when updating mems_allowed for mempolicy or disjoint nodemask
Kernels where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG may temporarily see an empty
nodemask in a tsk's mempolicy if its previous nodemask is remapped onto a
new set of allowed cpuset nodes where the two nodemasks, as a result of
the remap, are now disjoint.

c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing
cpuset's mems") adds get_mems_allowed() to prevent the set of allowed
nodes from changing for a thread.  This causes any update to a set of
allowed nodes to stall until put_mems_allowed() is called.

This stall is unncessary, however, if at least one node remains unchanged
in the update to the set of allowed nodes.  This was addressed by
89e8a244b9 ("cpusets: avoid looping when storing to mems_allowed if one
node remains set"), but it's still possible that an empty nodemask may be
read from a mempolicy because the old nodemask may be remapped to the new
nodemask during rebind.  To prevent this, only avoid the stall if there is
no mempolicy for the thread being changed.

This is a temporary solution until all reads from mempolicy nodemasks can
be guaranteed to not be empty without the get_mems_allowed()
synchronization.

Also moves the check for nodemask intersection inside task_lock() so that
tsk->mems_allowed cannot change.  This ensures that nothing can set this
tsk's mems_allowed out from under us and also protects tsk->mempolicy.

e0197aae59 cgroups: fix a css_set not found bug in cgroup_attach_proc
There is a BUG when migrating a PF_EXITING proc. Since css_set_prefetch()
is not called for the PF_EXITING case, find_existing_css_set() will return
NULL inside cgroup_task_migrate() causing a BUG.

This bug is easy to reproduce. Create a zombie and echo its pid to
cgroup.procs.

$ cat zombie.c
\#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
  if (fork())
      pause();
  return 0;
}
$

We are hitting this bug pretty regularly on ChromeOS.

This bug is already fixed by Tejun Heo's cgroup patchset which is
targetted for the next merge window:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/1/356

I've create a smaller patch here which just fixes this bug so that a
fix can be merged into the current release and stable.

ab2789213d sched: Fix select_idle_sibling() regression in selecting an idle SMT sibling
Mike Galbraith reported that this recent commit:

   commit 4dcfe1025b
   Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
   Date:   Thu Nov 10 13:01:10 2011 +0100

       sched: Avoid SMT siblings in select_idle_sibling() if possible

stopped selecting an idle SMT sibling when there are no idle
cores in a single socket system.

Intent of the select_idle_sibling() was to fallback to an idle
SMT sibling, if it fails to identify an idle core. But this
fallback was not happening on systems where all the scheduler
domains had `SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES' flag set.

Fix it. Slightly bigger patch of cleaning all these goto's etc
is queued up for the next release.

a33caeb118 lockdep, kmemcheck: Annotate ->lock in lockdep_init_map()
Since commit f59de89 ("lockdep: Clear whole lockdep_map on initialization"),
lockdep_init_map() will clear all the struct. But it will break
lock_set_class()/lock_set_subclass(). A typical race condition
is like below:

     CPU A                                   CPU B
lock_set_subclass(lockA);
 lock_set_class(lockA);
   lockdep_init_map(lockA);
     /* lockA->name is cleared */
     memset(lockA);
                                     __lock_acquire(lockA);
                                       /* lockA->class_cache[] is cleared */
                                       register_lock_class(lockA);
                                         look_up_lock_class(lockA);
                                           WARN_ON_ONCE(class->name !=
                                                     lock->name);

     lock->name = name;

So restore to what we have done before commit f59de89 but annotate
->lock with kmemcheck_mark_initialized() to suppress the kmemcheck
warning reported in commit f59de89.

c7c6ec8bec ftrace: Remove force undef config value left for testing
A forced undef of a config value was used for testing and was
accidently left in during the final commit. This causes x86 to
run slower than needed while running function tracing as well

cb59974742 tracing: fix event_subsystem ref counting
Fix a bug introduced by e9dbfae5, which prevents event_subsystem from
ever being released.

Ref_count was added to keep track of subsystem users, not for counting
events.  Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to
increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that.  Fix this by
touching ref_count only when we actually have a new user -
subsystem_open().

10c6db110d perf: Fix loss of notification with multi-event
When you do:
        $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10

You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at
1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You
get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event:

$ perf report -D | tail -15
Aggregated stats:
           TOTAL events:      10998
            MMAP events:         66
            COMM events:          2
          SAMPLE events:      10930
cycles stats:
           TOTAL events:       3644
          SAMPLE events:       3644
cycles stats:
           TOTAL events:       3642
          SAMPLE events:       3642
cycles stats:
           TOTAL events:       3644
          SAMPLE events:       3644

On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable
of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those
events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active).
And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number
of samples per event.

The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer
to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user
notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file
descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling
on it.  The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer,
i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes
notifications for any event will come via that descriptor.

The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the
ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could
perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause
the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be
referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL.

Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup
from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited
upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it
works for now.

550acb1926 genirq: Fix race condition when stopping the irq thread
In irq_wait_for_interrupt(), the should_stop member is verified before
setting the task's state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calling schedule().
In case kthread_stop sets should_stop and wakes up the process after
should_stop is checked by the irq thread but before the task's state
is changed, the irq thread might never exit:

kthread_stop                    irq_wait_for_interrupt
------------                    ----------------------

                                 ...
...                              while (!kthread_should_stop()) {
kthread->should_stop = 1;
wake_up_process(k);
wait_for_completion(&kthread->exited);
...
                                     set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

                                     ...

                                     schedule();
                                 }

Fix this by checking if the thread should stop after modifying the
task's state.

52553ddffa genirq: fix regression in irqfixup, irqpoll
Commit fa27271bc8d2("genirq: Fixup poll handling") introduced a
regression that broke irqfixup/irqpoll for some hardware configurations.

Amidst reorganizing 'try_one_irq', that patch removed a test that
checked for 'action->handler' returning IRQ_HANDLED, before acting on
the interrupt.  Restoring this test back returns the functionality lost
since 2.6.39.  In the current set of tests, after 'action' is set, it
must precede '!action->next' to take effect.

With this and my previous patch to irq/spurious.c, c75d720fca, all
IRQ regressions that I have encountered are fixed.

884a45d964 cgroup_freezer: fix freezing groups with stopped tasks
2d3cbf8b (cgroup_freezer: update_freezer_state() does incorrect state
transitions) removed is_task_frozen_enough and replaced it with a simple
frozen call. This, however, breaks freezing for a group with stopped tasks
because those cannot be frozen and so the group remains in CGROUP_FREEZING
state (update_if_frozen doesn't count stopped tasks) and never reaches
CGROUP_FROZEN.

Let's add is_task_frozen_enough back and use it at the original locations
(update_if_frozen and try_to_freeze_cgroup). Semantically we consider
stopped tasks as frozen enough so we should consider both cases when
testing frozen tasks.

Testcase:
mkdir /dev/freezer
mount -t cgroup -o freezer none /dev/freezer
mkdir /dev/freezer/foo
sleep 1h &
pid=$!
kill -STOP $pid
echo $pid > /dev/freezer/foo/tasks
echo FROZEN > /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state
while true
do
	cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state
	[ "`cat /dev/freezer/foo/freezer.state`" = "FROZEN" ] && break
	sleep 1
done
echo OK

The hibernation core code forgets to release memory preallocated

modes causing hibernation_snapshot() to return early are used.  This
causes the system to be hardly usable, because the amount of

27c9cd7e60 hrtimer: Fix extra wakeups from __remove_hrtimer()
__remove_hrtimer() attempts to reprogram the clockevent device when
the timer being removed is the next to expire. However,
__remove_hrtimer() reprograms the clockevent *before* removing the
timer from the timerqueue and thus when hrtimer_force_reprogram()
finds the next timer to expire it finds the timer we're trying to
remove.

This is especially noticeable when the system switches to NOHz mode
and the system tick is removed. The timer tick is removed from the
system but the clockevent is programmed to wakeup in another HZ
anyway.

Silence the extra wakeup by removing the timer from the timerqueue
before calling hrtimer_force_reprogram() so that we actually program
the clockevent for the next timer to expire.

This was broken by 998adc3 "hrtimers: Convert hrtimers to use
timerlist infrastructure".

Commit 2aede851dd
(PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory)
postponed the freezing of kernel threads to after preallocating memory
for hibernation. But while doing that, the hibernation test TEST_FREEZER
and the test mode HIBERNATION_TESTPROC were not moved accordingly.

As a result, when using these test modes, it only goes upto the freezing of
userspace and exits, when in fact it should go till the complete end of task
freezing stage, namely the freezing of kernel threads as well.

So, move these points of exit to appropriate places so that freezing of
kernel threads is also tested while using these test harnesses.

ktime_get and ktime_get_ts were calling timekeeping_get_ns()
but later they were not calling arch_gettimeoffset() so architectures
using this mechanism returned 0 ns when calling these functions.

This happened for example when running Busybox's ping which calls
syscall(__NR_clock_gettime, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ts) which eventually
calls ktime_get. As a result the returned ping travel time was zero.

2ed0e645f3 genirq: Don't allow per cpu interrupts to be suspended
The power management functions related to interrupts do not know
(yet) about per-cpu interrupts and end up calling the wrong
low-level methods to enable/disable interrupts.

This leads to all kind of interesting issues (action taken on one
CPU only, updating a refcount which is not used otherwise...).

The workaround for the time being is simply to flag these interrupts
with IRQF_NO_SUSPEND. At least on ARM, these interrupts are actually
dealt with at the architecture level.
