b215e28399 signal/timer/event: timerfd core
This patch introduces a new system call for timers events delivered though
file descriptors.  This allows timer event to be used with standard POSIX
poll(2), select(2) and read(2).  As a consequence of supporting the Linux
f_op->poll subsystem, they can be used with epoll(2) too.

The system call is defined as:

int timerfd(int ufd, int clockid, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr);

The "ufd" parameter allows for re-use (re-programming) of an existing timerfd
w/out going through the close/open cycle (same as signalfd).  If "ufd" is -1,
s new file descriptor will be created, otherwise the existing "ufd" will be
re-programmed.

The "clockid" parameter is either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.  The time
specified in the "utmr->it_value" parameter is the expiry time for the timer.

If the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME flag is set in "flags", this is an absolute time,
otherwise it's a relative time.

If the time specified in the "utmr->it_interval" is not zero (.tv_sec == 0,
tv_nsec == 0), this is the period at which the following ticks should be
generated.

The "utmr->it_interval" should be set to zero if only one tick is requested.
Setting the "utmr->it_value" to zero will disable the timer, or will create a
timerfd without the timer enabled.

The function returns the new (or same, in case "ufd" is a valid timerfd
descriptor) file, or -1 in case of error.

As stated before, the timerfd file descriptor supports poll(2), select(2) and
epoll(2).  When a timer event happened on the timerfd, a POLLIN mask will be
returned.

The read(2) call can be used, and it will return a u32 variable holding the
number of "ticks" that happened on the interface since the last call to
read(2).  The read(2) call supportes the O_NONBLOCK flag too, and EAGAIN will
be returned if no ticks happened.

A quick test program, shows timerfd working correctly on my amd64 box:

fba2afaaec signal/timer/event: signalfd core
This patch series implements the new signalfd() system call.

I took part of the original Linus code (and you know how badly it can be
broken :), and I added even more breakage ;) Signals are fetched from the same
signal queue used by the process, so signalfd will compete with standard
kernel delivery in dequeue_signal().  If you want to reliably fetch signals on
the signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK).  This
seems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine.  I made a quick test
program for it:

http://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c

The signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor
receiver.  The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API:

int signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize);

The "ufd" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going
to close/create cycle (Linus idea).  Use "ufd" == -1 if you want a brand new
signalfd file.

The "mask" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested
in.  The "masksize" parameter is the size of "mask".

The signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls.  The poll(2)
will return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued.  As a direct
consequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use
used together with epoll(2) too.

The read(2) system call will return a "struct signalfd_siginfo" structure in
the userspace supplied buffer.  The return value is the number of bytes copied
in the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error.  The read(2) call can also
return 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached,
has been orphaned.  The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will
return -EAGAIN in case no signal is available.

If the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct
signalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned.  A read from the signalfd can also
return -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process.  The format of the
struct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (->code &
__SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would:

struct signalfd_siginfo {
	__u32 signo;	/* si_signo */
	__s32 err;	/* si_errno */
	__s32 code;	/* si_code */
	__u32 pid;	/* si_pid */
	__u32 uid;	/* si_uid */
	__s32 fd;	/* si_fd */
	__u32 tid;	/* si_fd */
	__u32 band;	/* si_band */
	__u32 overrun;	/* si_overrun */
	__u32 trapno;	/* si_trapno */
	__s32 status;	/* si_status */
	__s32 svint;	/* si_int */
	__u64 svptr;	/* si_ptr */
	__u64 utime;	/* si_utime */
	__u64 stime;	/* si_stime */
	__u64 addr;	/* si_addr */
};

5dc8bf8132 signal/timer/event fds: anonymous inode source
This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need
and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an
inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in
the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*).
This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd
(and whatever else there'll be).

fa0334f19f Replace pid_t in autofs with struct pid reference
Make autofs container-friendly by caching struct pid reference rather than
pid_t and using pid_nr() to retreive a task's pid_t.

ChangeLog:
	- Fix Eric Biederman's comments - Use find_get_pid() to hold a
	  reference to oz_pgrp and release while unmounting; separate out
	  changes to autofs and autofs4.
	- Fix Cedric's comments: retain old prototype of parse_options()
	  and move necessary change to its caller.

2d3fbbb391 Add hard_irq_disable()
Some architectures, like powerpc, implement lazy disabling of interrupts.
That means that on those, local_irq_disable() doesn't actually disable
interrupts on the CPU, but only sets some per CPU flag which cause them to be
disabled only if an interrupt actually occurs.

However, in some cases, such as stop_machine, we really want interrupts to be
fully disabled.  For example, I have code using stop machine to do ECC error
injection, used to verify operations of the ECC hardware, that sort of thing.
It really needs to make sure that nothing is actually writing to memory while
the injection happens.  Similar examples can be found in other low level bits
and pieces.

This patch implements a generic hard_irq_disable() function which is meant to
be called -after- local_irq_disable() and ensures that interrupts are fully
disabled on that CPU.  The default implementation is a nop, though powerpc
does already provide an appropriate one.

e1fa2e136f powerpc: fixup hard_irq_disable semantics
This patch renames the raw hard_irq_{enable,disable} into
__hard_irq_{enable,disable} and introduces a higher level hard_irq_disable()
function that can be used by any code to enforce that IRQs are fully disabled,
not only lazy disabled.

The difference with the __ versions is that it will update some per-processor
fields so that the kernel keeps track and properly re-enables them in the next
local_irq_disable();

This prepares powerpc for my next patch that introduces hard_irq_disable()
generically.

up in a few architectures that didn't have it previously (which should be
OK as POLLREMOVE is not used anywhere in the current tree).

99eaf3c45f lib/hexdump
Based on ace_dump_mem() from Grant Likely for the Xilinx SystemACE
CompactFlash interface.

Add print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper() to lib/hexdump.c and linux/kernel.h.

This patch adds the functions print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper().
print_hex_dump() can be used to perform a hex + ASCII dump of data to
syslog, in an easily viewable format, thus providing a common text hex dump
format.

hex_dumper() provides a dump-to-memory function.  It converts one "line" of
output (16 bytes of input) at a time.

Example usages:
	print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS, frame->data, frame->len);
	hex_dumper(frame->data, frame->len, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf));

Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET:
0009ab42: 40414243 44454647 48494a4b 4c4d4e4f-@ABCDEFG HIJKLMNO
Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS:
ffffffff88089af0: 70717273 74757677 78797a7b 7c7d7e7f-pqrstuvw xyz{|}~.

6eaeeaba39 getrusage(): fill ru_inblock and ru_oublock fields if possible
If CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING is defined, we update io accounting counters for
each task.

This patch permits reporting of values using the well known getrusage()
syscall, filling ru_inblock and ru_oublock instead of null values.

As TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING currently counts bytes counts, we approximate blocks
count doing : nr_blocks = nr_bytes / 512

Example of use :
----------------------
After patch is applied, /usr/bin/time command can now give a good
approximation of IO that the process had to do.

02239c2996 uml: shrink kernel stacks

c14b84949e uml: iRQ stacks
Add a separate IRQ stack.  This differs from i386 in having the entire
interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel
stack and switching over once some preparation has been done.  The underlying
mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack.

Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on
the normal kernel stack.  These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal
delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these.  There's
no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption.

This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate
stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal
kernel stack.  If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought.

The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel
stack.  IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically.

An extra field was added to the thread_info structure.  When the active
thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to
the original stack.  This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info
struct back to when the interrupt is finished.  It also serves as a marker of
a nested interrupt.  It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and
non-NULL for any nested interrupts.

Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the
thread_info structure is being set up or taken down.  I could just disable
interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained
by not flipping signals on and off.

If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run
because it has no idea what shape the stack is in.  So, it sets a bit for its
signal in a global mask and returns.  The outer handler will deal with this
signal itself.

Atomicity is had with xchg.  A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will
xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another
interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes.

The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into
pending_mask when it is done.  At this point, nested interrupts will look at
->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done.  They can just continue
normally.

Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler.  If another
interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit
into pending_mask.  The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero,
will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt.

43c09ce792 m32r: fix switch_to macro to push/pop frame pointer if needed
This patch fixes a rarely-happened but severe scheduling problem of
the recent m32r kernel of 2.6.17-rc3 or later.

In the following previous m32r patch, the switch_to macro was
modified not to do unnecessary push/pop operations for tuning.
> [PATCH] m32r: update switch_to macro for tuning
> 4127272c38

In this modification, only 'lr' and 'sp' registers are push/pop'ed,
assuming that the m32r kernel is always compiled with
-fomit-frame-pointer option.

However, in 2.6 kernel, kernel/sched.c is irregularly compiled
with -fno-omit-frame-pointer if CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER
is not defined.

 -- kernel/Makefile --
   :
 ifneq ($(CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER),y)
 # According to Alan Modra <alan@linuxcare.com.au>, the -fno-omit-frame-pointer is
 # needed for x86 only.  Why this used to be enabled for all architectures is beyond
 # me.  I suspect most platforms don't need this, but until we know that for sure
 # I turn this off for IA-64 only.  Andreas Schwab says it's also needed on m68k
 # to get a correct value for the wait-channel (WCHAN in ps). --davidm
 CFLAGS_sched.o := $(PROFILING) -fno-omit-frame-pointer
 endif
   :
 ---

Therefore, for the recent m32r kernel, we have to push/pop 'fp'
(frame pointer) if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is defined or
CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER is not defined.

39bf6270f5 VM statistics: Make timer deferrable
VM statistics updates do not matter if the kernel is in idle powersaving
mode.  So allow the timer to be deferred.

It would be better though if we could switch the timer between deferrable
and nondeferrable based on differentials present.  The timer would start
out nondeferrable and if we find that there were no updates in the last
statistics interval then we would switch the timer to deferrable.  If the
timer later finds again that there are differentials then go to
nondeferrable again.

And yet another way would be to run the timer shortly before going to idle?

The solution here means that the VM counters may be slightly off during
idle since differentials may be still pending while the timer is deferred.
