87400c0475 fs/proc/mmu.c: headers butchery
fs/proc/mmu.c consists of only one function which uses only:
1) struct vmalloc_info *
2) struct vm_struct *
3) struct vmalloc_info
4) vmlist
5) VMALLOC_TOTAL, VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END
6) read_lock, read_unlock
7) vmlist_lock
8) struct vm_struct

This gives us linux/spinlock.h, asm/pgtable.h, "internal.h", linux/vmalloc.h.
asm/pgtable.h uses PKMAP_BASE on i386, for which asm/highmem.h is needed.
But, linux/highmem.h is actually used to make it compile everywhere.
I'll deal later with this particular i386 surprise.

Cross-compile tested on many archs and configs.

4ba9b9d0ba Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters
Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used.  And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions.  The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

Convert

        ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)

to

        ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)

467c996c1e Print out statistics in relation to fragmentation avoidance to /proc/pagetypeinfo
This patch provides fragmentation avoidance statistics via /proc/pagetypeinfo.
 The information is collected only on request so there is no runtime overhead.
 The statistics are in three parts:

The first part prints information on the size of blocks that pages are
being grouped on and looks like

Page block order: 10
Pages per block:  1024

The second part is a more detailed version of /proc/buddyinfo and looks like

Free pages count per migrate type at order       0      1      2      3      4      5      6      7      8      9     10

The third part looks like

Number of blocks type     Unmovable  Reclaimable      Movable      Reserve
Node 0, zone      DMA            0            1            2            1
Node 0, zone   Normal            3           17           94            4

To walk the zones within a node with interrupts disabled, walk_zones_in_node()
is introduced and shared between /proc/buddyinfo, /proc/zoneinfo and
/proc/pagetypeinfo to reduce code duplication.  It seems specific to what
vmstat.c requires but could be broken out as a general utility function in
mmzone.c if there were other other potential users.

e12ba74d8f Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations
This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as
network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations.  When something
like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to
be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation.

This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a
new MIGRATE_TYPE.  The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be
reclaimed on demand, but not moved.  i.e.  they can be migrated by deleting
them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

4665079cbb [NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=n
With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section,
thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before.
Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace
creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns
stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot.

Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls
are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be
merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to
use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes"
for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS
is not set to save more space in memory.

The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section,
as noticed by David, since the init section will have
references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost
checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace
never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I
introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already
done with the __init_refok.

077130c0cf [NET]: Fix race when opening a proc file while a network namespace is exiting.
The problem:  proc_net files remember which network namespace the are
against but do not remember hold a reference count (as that would pin
the network namespace).   So we currently have a small window where
the reference count on a network namespace may be incremented when opening
a /proc file when it has already gone to zero.

To fix this introduce maybe_get_net and get_proc_net.

maybe_get_net increments the network namespace reference count only if it is
greater then zero, ensuring we don't increment a reference count after it
has gone to zero.

get_proc_net handles all of the magic to go from a proc inode to the network
namespace instance and call maybe_get_net on it.

PROC_NET the old accessor is removed so that we don't get confused and use
the wrong helper function.

Then I fix up the callers to use get_proc_net and handle the case case
where get_proc_net returns NULL.  In that case I return -ENXIO because
effectively the network namespace has already gone away so the files
we are trying to access don't exist anymore.

457c4cbc5a [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace
This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

7f8ada98d9 Rework /proc/locks via seq_files and seq_list helpers
Currently /proc/locks is shown with a proc_read function, but its behavior
is rather complex as it has to manually handle current offset and buffer
length.  On the other hand, files that show objects from lists can be
easily reimplemented using the sequential files and the seq_list_XXX()
helpers.

This saves (as usually) 16 lines of code and more than 200 from
the .text section.

dd23aae4f5 Fix select on /proc files without ->poll
Taneli Vähäkangas <vahakang@cs.helsinki.fi> reported that commit
786d7e1612 aka "Fix rmmod/read/write races
in /proc entries" broke SBCL + SLIME combo.

The old code in do_select() used DEFAULT_POLLMASK, if couldn't find
->poll handler.  The new code makes ->poll always there and returns 0 by
default, which is not correct.  Return DEFAULT_POLLMASK instead.

Steps to reproduce:

	install emacs, SBCL, SLIME
	emacs
	M-x slime	in *inferior-lisp* buffer
	[watch it doing "Connecting to Swank on port X.."]

Please, apply before 2.6.23.

P.S.: why SBCL can't just read(2) /proc/cpuinfo is a mystery.

c3508f8f34 x86_64: Avoid too many remote cpu references due to /proc/stat
Too many remote cpu references due to /proc/stat.

On x86_64, with newer kernel versions, kstat_irqs is a bit of a problem.
On every call to kstat_irqs, the process brings in per-cpu data from all
online cpus.  Doing this for NR_IRQS, which is now 256 + 32 * NR_CPUS
results in (256+32*63) * 63 remote cpu references on a 64 cpu config.
/proc/stat is parsed by common commands like top, who etc, causing lots
of cacheline transfers

This statistic seems useless.  Other 'big iron' arches disable this.

9281acea6a kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0'
KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer.  This is nonsense and error-prone.  Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.

This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.

* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro

* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,

786d7e1612 Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries
Fix following races:
===========================================
1. Write via ->write_proc sleeps in copy_from_user(). Module disappears
   meanwhile. Or, more generically, system call done on /proc file, method
   supplied by module is called, module dissapeares meanwhile.

   pde = create_proc_entry()
   if (!pde)
	return -ENOMEM;
   pde->write_proc = ...
				open
				write
				copy_from_user
   pde = create_proc_entry();
   if (!pde) {
	remove_proc_entry();
	return -ENOMEM;
	/* module unloaded */
   }
				*boom*
==========================================
2. bogo-revoke aka proc_kill_inodes()

  remove_proc_entry		vfs_read
  proc_kill_inodes		[check ->f_op validness]
				[check ->f_op->read validness]
				[verify_area, security permissions checks]
	->f_op = NULL;
				if (file->f_op->read)
					/* ->f_op dereference, boom */

NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: file_operations are proxied for regular files only. Let's
see how this scheme behaves, then extend if needed for directories.
Directories creators in /proc only set ->owner for them, so proxying for
directories may be unneeded.

NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: methods being proxied are ->llseek, ->read, ->write,
->poll, ->unlocked_ioctl, ->ioctl, ->compat_ioctl, ->open, ->release.
If your in-tree module uses something else, yell on me. Full audit pending.

9d0633cfed Remove redundant check from proc_sys_setattr()
notify_change() already calls security_inode_setattr() before
calling iop->setattr.

Alan sayeth

  This is a behaviour change on all of these and limits some behaviour of
  existing established security modules

  When inode_change_ok is called it has side effects.  This includes
  clearing the SGID bit on attribute changes caused by chmod.  If you make
  this change the results of some rulesets may be different before or after
  the change is made.

  I'm not saying the change is wrong but it does change behaviour so that
  needs looking at closely (ditto all other attribute twiddles)

Also change all pid_entry arrays to be const qualified, to make clear they

Before (on x86_64) :

# size fs/proc/base.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  15549    2192       0   17741    454d fs/proc/base.o

After :

# size fs/proc/base.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  17229     176       0   17405    43fd fs/proc/base.o

5096add84b proc: maps protection
The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
information about the memory location and usage of processes.  Issues:

- maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
  kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
- maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
  check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
  process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file.  (For reference
  see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
- a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
  non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.

This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
access to read the maps contents.  To control this protection, the new knob
/proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
the procfs documentation.

97dc32cdb1 reduce size of task_struct on 64-bit machines
This past week I was playing around with that pahole tool
(http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/acme/dwarves/) and looking at the size
of various struct in the kernel.  I was surprised by the size of the
task_struct on x86_64, approaching 4K.  I looked through the fields in
task_struct and found that a number of them were declared as "unsigned
long" rather than "unsigned int" despite them appearing okay as 32-bit
sized fields.  On x86_64 "unsigned long" ends up being 8 bytes in size and
forces 8 byte alignment.  Is there a reason there a reason they are
"unsigned long"?

The patch below drops the size of the struct from 3808 bytes (60 64-byte
cachelines) to 3760 bytes (59 64-byte cachelines).  A couple other fields
in the task struct take a signficant amount of space:

struct thread_struct       thread;               688
struct held_lock           held_locks[30];       1680

CONFIG_LOCKDEP is turned on in the .config

50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

b813e931b4 smaps: add clear_refs file to clear reference
Adds /proc/pid/clear_refs.  When any non-zero number is written to this file,
pte_mkold() and ClearPageReferenced() is called for each pte and its
corresponding page, respectively, in that task's VMAs.  This file is only
writable by the user who owns the task.

It is now possible to measure _approximately_ how much memory a task is using
by clearing the reference bits with

	echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs

and checking the reference count for each VMA from the /proc/pid/smaps output
at a measured time interval.  For example, to observe the approximate change
in memory footprint for a task, write a script that clears the references
(echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs), sleeps, and then greps for Pgs_Referenced and
extracts the size in kB.  Add the sizes for each VMA together for the total
referenced footprint.  Moments later, repeat the process and observe the
difference.

For example, using an efficient Mozilla:

	accumulated time		referenced memory
	----------------		-----------------
		 0 s				 408 kB
		 1 s				 408 kB
		 2 s				 556 kB
		 3 s				1028 kB
		 4 s				 872 kB
		 5 s				1956 kB
		 6 s				 416 kB
		 7 s				1560 kB
		 8 s				2336 kB
		 9 s				1044 kB
		10 s				 416 kB

This is a valuable tool to get an approximate measurement of the memory
footprint for a task.

'referenced'.  For each pte walked in the smaps code, this field is
incremented by PAGE_SIZE if it has pte-reference bits.

An additional line was added to the /proc/pid/smaps output for each VMA to

826fad1b93 smaps: extract pmd walker from smaps code
Extracts the pmd walker from smaps-specific code in fs/proc/task_mmu.c.

The new struct pmd_walker includes the struct vm_area_struct of the memory to
walk over.  Iteration begins at the vma->vm_start and completes at
vma->vm_end.  A pointer to another data structure may be stored in the private
field such as struct mem_size_stats, which acts as the smaps accumulator.  For
each pmd in the VMA, the action function is called with a pointer to its
struct vm_area_struct, a pointer to the pmd_t, its start and end addresses,
and the private field.

The interface for walking pmd's in a VMA for fs/proc/task_mmu.c is now:

	void for_each_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
			  void (*action)(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
					 pmd_t *pmd, unsigned long addr,
					 unsigned long end,
					 void *private),
			  void *private);

Since the pmd walker is now extracted from the smaps code, smaps_one_pmd() is
invoked for each pmd in the VMA.  Its behavior and efficiency is identical to
the existing implementation.

Since the security checks are applied on each read and write of a sysctl file,
just like they are applied when calling sys_sysctl, they are redundant on the

on the standard VFS constructs we just mark the sysctl inodes in proc private

77b14db502 [PATCH] sysctl: reimplement the sysctl proc support
With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done
when removing a sysctl table.

For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove
de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or
about half that on a 32bit arch.

The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl
dentries :(

We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between
ctl table entries and proc files.  Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary
depending on the namespace you are in.  The currently merged namespaces don't
have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have
different directories depending on which network adapters are visible.  By
simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you
are is trivial to implement.

Doing it that way gets in the way of cleaning up the sysctl proc support as it
continues the existence of a horrible hack.  So instead simply create the
directory as an ordinary sysctl directory.  At least that removes the magic
special case.

ab521dc0f8 [PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pid
Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest
consumer.  But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only
lasts until the session leader exits.  Which means that no reference counting
is required.  So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to
avoid hash table lookups.

In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid
spaces mixed everything will work correctly.

8993780a6e Make SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary again
As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary.  It does
that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
"linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
is really broken in itself, but whatever..)

That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba:
"[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information").

This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
the version finding.  And /proc/version simply uses a different string.

To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
"Linux version " first.

aba76fdb8a [PATCH] io-accounting: report in procfs
Add a simple /proc/pid/io to show the IO accounting fields.

Maybe this shouldn't be merged in mainline - the preferred reporting channel
is taskstats.  But given the poor state of our userspace support for
taskstats, this is useful for developer-testing, at least.  And it improves
the changes that the procps developers will wire it up into top(1).  Opinions
are sought.

The patch also wires up the existing IO-accounting fields.

It's a bit racy on 32-bit machines: if process A reads process B's
/proc/pid/io while process B is updating one of those 64-bit counters, process
A could see an intermediate result.

8fb4fc68ca [PATCH] Allow user processes to raise their oom_adj value
Currently a user process cannot rise its own oom_adj value (i.e.
unprotecting itself from the OOM killer).  As this value is stored in the
task structure it gets inherited and the unprivileged childs will be unable
to rise it.

The EPERM will be handled by the generic proc fs layer, as only processes
with the proper caps or the owner of the process will be able to write to
the file.  So we allow only the processes with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to lower
the value, otherwise it will get an EACCES which seems more appropriate
than EPERM.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

b0fa9db6ab [PATCH] proc: drop tasklist lock in task_state()
task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent.  However
task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order

	1) release_task(task)
	2) release_task(task->parent)
	3) a grace period passed

But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive()
can't be true in such a case.

Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us.

Drop tasklist_lock. ->siglock protects almost all interesting data

	->signal->tty

	->real_parent
		the task can't be unhashed while we are holding

		but we can safely dereference it under rcu_read_lock()

	->pgrp/->session

61a2878402 [PATCH] proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers
The hard coded inode numbers in proc currently limit its maintainability,
its flexibility, and what can be done with the rest of system.  /proc limits
pid-max to 32768 on 32 bit systems it limits fd-max to 32768 on all systems,
and placing the pid in the inode number really gets in the way of implementing
subdirectories of per process information.

Ever since people started adding to the middle of the file type enumeration we
haven't been maintaing the historical inode numbers, all we have really
succeeded in doing is keeping the pid in the proc inode number.  The pid is
already available in the directory name so no information is lost removing it
from the inode number.

So if something in user space cares if we remove the inode number from the
/proc inode it is almost certainly broken.

801199ce80 [PATCH] proc: Make the generation of the self symlink table driven
This patch generalizes the concept of files in /proc that are related to
processes but live in the root directory of /proc

Ideally this would reuse infrastructure from the rest of the process specific
parts of proc but unfortunately security_task_to_inode must not be called on
files that are not strictly per process.  security_task_to_inode really needs
to be reexamined as the security label can change in important places that we
are not currently catching, but I'm not certain that simplifies this problem.

By at least matching the structure of the rest of proc we get more idiom reuse
and it becomes easier to spot problems in the way things are put together.

Later things like /proc/mounts are likely to be moved into proc_base as well.
If union mounts are ever supported we may be able to make /proc a union mount,
and properly split it into 2 filesystems.

There were enough changes in my last round of cleaning up proc I had to break

This patchset gives proc dynamic inode numbers (the static inode numbers were
a pain to maintain and prevent all kinds of things), and removes the horrible
switch statements that had to be kept in sync with everything else.  Being
fully table driver takes us 90% of the way of being able to register new
process specific attributes in proc.

This patch:

Group the functions by what they implement instead of by type of operation.
As it existed base.c was quickly approaching the point where it could not be
followed.

No functionality or code changes asside from adding/removing forward
declartions are implemented in this patch.

0804ef4b0d [PATCH] proc: readdir race fix (take 3)
The problem: An opendir, readdir, closedir sequence can fail to report
process ids that are continually in use throughout the sequence of system
calls.  For this race to trigger the process that proc_pid_readdir stops at
must exit before readdir is called again.

This can cause ps to fail to report processes, and it is in violation of
posix guarantees and normal application expectations with respect to
readdir.

Currently there is no way to work around this problem in user space short
of providing a gargantuan buffer to user space so the directory read all
happens in on system call.

This patch implements the normal directory semantics for proc, that
guarantee that a directory entry that is neither created nor destroyed
while reading the directory entry will be returned.  For directory that are
either created or destroyed during the readdir you may or may not see them.
 Furthermore you may seek to a directory offset you have previously seen.

These are the guarantee that ext[23] provides and that posix requires, and
more importantly that user space expects.  Plus it is a simple semantic to
implement reliable service.  It is just a matter of calling readdir a
second time if you are wondering if something new has show up.

These better semantics are implemented by scanning through the pids in
numerical order and by making the file offset a pid plus a fixed offset.

The pid scan happens on the pid bitmap, which when you look at it is
remarkably efficient for a brute force algorithm.  Given that a typical
cache line is 64 bytes and thus covers space for 64*8 == 200 pids.  There
are only 40 cache lines for the entire 32K pid space.  A typical system
will have 100 pids or more so this is actually fewer cache lines we have to
look at to scan a linked list, and the worst case of having to scan the
entire pid bitmap is pretty reasonable.

If we need something more efficient we can go to a more efficient data
structure for indexing the pids, but for now what we have should be
sufficient.

In addition this takes no additional locks and is actually less code than
what we are doing now.

Also another very subtle bug in this area has been fixed.  It is possible
to catch a task in the middle of de_thread where a thread is assuming the
thread of it's thread group leader.  This patch carefully handles that case
so if we hit it we don't fail to return the pid, that is undergoing the
de_thread dance.

9361401eb7 [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]
Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

0635170b54 [PATCH] /fs/proc/: 'larger than buffer size' memory accessed by clear_user()
Address a potential 'larger than buffer size' memory access by
clear_user().  Without this patch, this call to clear_user() can attempt to
clear too many (tsz) bytes resulting in a wrong (-EFAULT) return code by
read_kcore().

d2c5e30c9a [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_bounce to per zone counter
Conversion of nr_bounce to a per zone counter

nr_bounce is only used for proc output.  So it could be left as an event
counter.  However, the event counters may not be accurate and nr_bounce is
categorizing types of pages in a zone.  So we really need this to also be a
per zone counter.

fd39fc8561 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_unstable to per zone counter
Conversion of nr_unstable to a per zone counter

We need to do some special modifications to the nfs code since there are
multiple cases of disposition and we need to have a page ref for proper
accounting.

This converts the last critical page state of the VM and therefore we need to
remove several functions that were depending on GET_PAGE_STATE_LAST in order
to make the kernel compile again.  We are only left with event type counters
in page state.

b1e7a8fd85 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_dirty to per zone counter
This makes nr_dirty a per zone counter.  Looping over all processors is
avoided during writeback state determination.

The counter aggregation for nr_dirty had to be undone in the NFS layer since
we summed up the page counts from multiple zones.  Someone more familiar with
NFS should probably review what I have done.

9a865ffa34 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_slab to per zone counter
- Allows reclaim to access counter without looping over processor counts.

- Allows accurate statistics on how many pages are used in a zone by
  the slab. This may become useful to balance slab allocations over
  various zones.

f3dbd34460 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: split NR_ANON_PAGES off from NR_FILE_MAPPED
The current NR_FILE_MAPPED is used by zone reclaim and the dirty load
calculation as the number of mapped pagecache pages.  However, that is not
true.  NR_FILE_MAPPED includes the mapped anonymous pages.  This patch
separates those and therefore allows an accurate tracking of the anonymous
pages per zone.

It then becomes possible to determine the number of unmapped pages per zone
and we can avoid scanning for unmapped pages if there are none.

Also it may now be possible to determine the mapped/unmapped ratio in
get_dirty_limit.  Isnt the number of anonymous pages irrelevant in that
calculation?

Note that this will change the meaning of the number of mapped pages reported
in /proc/vmstat /proc/meminfo and in the per node statistics.  This may affect
user space tools that monitor these counters!  NR_FILE_MAPPED works like
NR_FILE_DIRTY.  It is only valid for pagecache pages.
