syscalls: implement execveat() system call
This patchset adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528). The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem, at least for executables (rather than scripts). The current glibc version of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed or otherwise restricted environments. Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA suggested (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2) syscall would be an appropriate generalization. Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument without back-compatibility concerns. The current implementation just defines the AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other flags could be added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces (as suggested at https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474). Related history: - https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment. - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to "prevent other people from wasting their time". - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve() because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since been fixed. This patch (of 4): Add a new execveat(2) system call. execveat() is to execve() as openat() is to open(): it takes a file descriptor that refers to a directory, and resolves the filename relative to that. In addition, if the filename is empty and AT_EMPTY_PATH is specified, execveat() executes the file to which the file descriptor refers. This replicates the functionality of fexecve(), which is a system call in other UNIXen, but in Linux glibc it depends on opening "/proc/self/fd/<fd>" (and so relies on /proc being mounted). The filename fed to the executed program as argv[0] (or the name of the script fed to a script interpreter) will be of the form "/dev/fd/<fd>" (for an empty filename) or "/dev/fd/<fd>/<filename>", effectively reflecting how the executable was found. This does however mean that execution of a script in a /proc-less environment won't work; also, script execution via an O_CLOEXEC file descriptor fails (as the file will not be accessible after exec).

kernel: add panic_on_warn
There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to
cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash
dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as
in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to
the user.
A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a
panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual
image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote
debugging.
This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the
warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the
location of the warning.
An example of the panic_on_warn output:
The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s
location. After that the panic() output is displayed.

This instruments might_sleep() checks to catch places that nest
blocking primitives - such as mutex usage in a wait loop. Such
bugs can result in hard to debug races/hangs.
Another category of invalid nesting that this facility will detect
is the calling of blocking functions from within schedule() ->
sched_submit_work() -> blk_schedule_flush_plug().
There's some potential for false positives (if secondary blocking
primitives themselves are not ready yet for this facility), but the
kernel will warn once about such bugs per bootup, so the warning
isn't much of a nuisance.
This feature comes with a number of fixes, for problems uncovered
with it, so no messages are expected normally.
- Another round of sched/numa optimizations and refinements, for
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y.
- Another round of sched/dl fixes and refinements.
Plus various smaller fixes and cleanups"

Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf events update from Ingo Molnar:
"On the kernel side there's few changes, the one that stands out is
PEBS machine state sampling support on x86, by Stephane Eranian.
On the tooling side:
User visible tooling changes:
- Don't open the DWARF info multiple times, keeping instead a dwfl
handle in struct dso, greatly speeding up 'perf report' on powerpc.
(Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
- Introduce PARSE_OPT_DISABLED option flag and use it to avoid
showing undersired options in tools that provides frontends to
'perf record', like sched, kvm, etc (Namhyung Kim)
- Fallback to kallsyms when using the minimal 'ELF' loader (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix annotation with kcore (Adrian Hunter)
- Support source line numbers in annotate using a hotkey (Andi Kleen)
- Callchain improvements including:
* Enable printing the srcline in the history
* Make get_srcline fall back to sym+offset (Andi Kleen)
- TUI hist_entry browser fixes, including showing missing overhead
value for first level callchain. Detected comparing the output of
--stdio/--gui (that matched) with --tui, that had this problem.
(Namhyung Kim)
- Support handling complete branch stacks as histograms (Andi Kleen)
Tooling infrastructure changes:
- Prep work for supporting per-pkg and snapshot counters in 'perf
stat' (Jiri Olsa)
- 'perf stat' refactorings, moving stuff from it to evsel.c to use in
per-pkg/snapshot format changes (Jiri Olsa)
- Add per-pkg format file parsing (Matt Fleming)
- Clean up libelf feature support code (Namhyung Kim)
- Add gzip decompression support for kernel modules (Namhyung Kim)
- More prep patches for Intel PT, including a a thread stack and more
stuff made available via the database export mechanism (Adrian
Hunter)
- More Intel PT work, including a facility to export sample data
(comms, threads, symbol names, etc) in a database friendly way,
with an script to use this to create a postgresql database.
(Adrian Hunter)
- Make sure that thread->mg->machine points to the machine where the
thread exists (it was being set only for the kmaps kernel modules
case, do it as well for the mmaps) and use it to shorten function
signatures (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
... and lots of other fixes and smaller improvements"

Merge tag 'master-2014-12-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next
John W. Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless-next 2014-12-08 Please pull this last batch of pending wireless updates for the 3.19 tree... For the wireless bits, Johannes says: "This time I have Felix's no-status rate control work, which will allow drivers to work better with rate control even if they don't have perfect status reporting. In addition to this, a small hwsim fix from Patrik, one of the regulatory patches from Arik, and a number of cleanups and fixes I did myself. Of note is a patch where I disable CFG80211_WEXT so that compatibility is no longer selectable - this is intended as a wake-up call for anyone who's still using it, and is still easily worked around (it's a one-line patch) before we fully remove the code as well in the future." For the Bluetooth bits, Johan says: "Here's one more bluetooth-next pull request for 3.19: - Minor cleanups for ieee802154 & mac802154 - Fix for the kernel warning with !TASK_RUNNING reported by Kirill A. Shutemov - Support for another ath3k device - Fix for tracking link key based security level - Device tree bindings for btmrvl + a state update fix - Fix for wrong ACL flags on LE links" And... "In addition to the previous one this contains two more cleanups to mac802154 as well as support for some new HCI features from the Bluetooth 4.2 specification. From the original request: 'Here's what should be the last bluetooth-next pull request for 3.19. It's rather large but the majority of it is the Low Energy Secure Connections feature that's part of the Bluetooth 4.2 specification. The specification went public only this week so we couldn't publish the corresponding code before that. The code itself can nevertheless be considered fairly mature as it's been in development for over 6 months and gone through several interoperability test events. Besides LE SC the pull request contains an important fix for command complete events for mgmt sockets which also fixes some leaks of hci_conn objects when powering off or unplugging Bluetooth adapters. A smaller feature that's part of the pull request is service discovery support. This is like normal device discovery except that devices not matching specific UUIDs or strong enough RSSI are filtered out. Other changes that the pull request contains are firmware dump support to the btmrvl driver, firmware download support for Broadcom BCM20702A0 variants, as well as some coding style cleanups in 6lowpan & ieee802154/mac802154 code.'" For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "With this one we get: - NFC digital improvements for DEP support: Chaining, NACK and ATN support added. - NCI improvements: Support for p2p target, SE IO operand addition, SE operands extensions to support proprietary implementations, and a few fixes. - NFC HCI improvements: OPEN_PIPE and NOTIFY_ALL_CLEARED support, and SE IO operand addition. - A bunch of minor improvements and fixes for STMicro st21nfcb and st21nfca" For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "Major works are CSA and TDLS. On top of that I have a new firmware API for scan and a few rate control improvements. Johannes find a few tricks to improve our CPU utilization and adds support for a new spin of 7265 called 7265D. Along with this a few random things that don't stand out." And... "I deprecate here -8.ucode since -9 has been published long ago. Along with that I have a new activity, we have now better a infrastructure for firmware debugging. This will allow to have configurable probes insides the firmware. Luca continues his work on NetDetect, this feature is now complete. All the rest is minor fixes here and there." For the Atheros bits, Kalle says: "Only ath10k changes this time and no major changes. Most visible are: o new debugfs interface for runtime firmware debugging (Yanbo) o fix shared WEP (Sujith) o don't rebuild whenever kernel version changes (Johannes) o lots of refactoring to make it easier to add new hw support (Michal) There's also smaller fixes and improvements with no point of listing here." In addition, there are a few last minute updates to ath5k, ath9k, brcmfmac, brcmsmac, mwifiex, rt2x00, rtlwifi, and wil6210. Also included is a pull of the wireless tree to pick-up the fixes originally included in "pull request: wireless 2014-12-03"...
