Michael Wang 51d0f16d49 rcu: Optimize the 'rcu_pending' for RCU trace
This patch implements the new 'rcu_pending' interface under each rsp
directory, by using the 'CPU units sequence reading', thus avoiding loss
of tracing data.

Michael Wang 374b928ee8 rcu: Fundamental facility for 'CPU units sequence reading'
This patch add the fundamental facility used by the following patches, so we
can implement the 'CPU units sequence reading' later.

This helps us avoid losing data when there are too many CPUs and too
small of a buffer, since this new approach allows userspace to read out
the data one CPU at a time.  Thus, if the buffer is not large enough,
userspace will get whatever CPUs fit, and can then issue another read
for the remainder of the data.

Michael Wang 573bcd40d2 rcu: Create directory for each flavor of rcu
This patch will create subdirectory according to each flavor of rcu, the new
structure will be:

	/debugfs/rcu/ -> rsp_0
		      -> rsp_1
		      -> ...

So we can go to '/debugfs/rcu/rsp_0' and get the cpu info of rsp_0 there.
The flavors of RCU are currently rcu_bh, rcu_preempt, and rcu_sched.

Paul E. McKenney 40694d6644 rcu: Move synchronize_sched_expedited() state to rcu_state
Tracing (debugfs) of expedited RCU primitives is required, which in turn
requires that the relevant data be located where the tracing code can find
it, not in its current static global variables in kernel/rcutree.c.
This commit therefore moves sync_sched_expedited_started and
sync_sched_expedited_done to the rcu_state structure, as fields
->expedited_start and ->expedited_done, respectively.

Paul E. McKenney 1924bcb025 rcu: Avoid counter wrap in synchronize_sched_expedited()
There is a counter scheme similar to ticket locking that
synchronize_sched_expedited() uses to service multiple concurrent
callers with the same expedited grace period.  Upon entry, a
sync_sched_expedited_started variable is atomically incremented,
and upon completion of a expedited grace period a separate
sync_sched_expedited_done variable is atomically incremented.

However, if a synchronize_sched_expedited() is delayed while
in try_stop_cpus(), concurrent invocations will increment the
sync_sched_expedited_started counter, which will eventually overflow.
If the original synchronize_sched_expedited() resumes execution just
as the counter overflows, a concurrent invocation could incorrectly
conclude that an expedited grace period elapsed in zero time, which
would be bad.  One could rely on counter size to prevent this from
happening in practice, but the goal is to formally validate this
code, so it needs to be fixed anyway.

This commit therefore checks the gap between the two counters before
incrementing sync_sched_expedited_started, and if the gap is too
large, does a normal grace period instead.  Overflow is thus only
possible if there are more than about 3.5 billion threads on 32-bit
systems, which can be excluded until such time as task_struct fits
into a single byte and 4G/4G patches are accepted into mainline.
It is also easy to encode this limitation into mechanical theorem
provers.

Paul E. McKenney 7b2e6011f1 rcu: Rename ->onofflock to ->orphan_lock
The ->onofflock field in the rcu_state structure at one time synchronized
CPU-hotplug operations for RCU.  However, its scope has decreased over time
so that it now only protects the lists of orphaned RCU callbacks.  This
commit therefore renames it to ->orphan_lock to reflect its current use.

Paul E. McKenney abfd6e58ae rcu: Fix comment about _rcu_barrier()/orphanage exclusion
In the old days, _rcu_barrier() acquired ->onofflock to exclude
rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage(), which allowed the latter to avoid memory
barriers in callback handling.  However, _rcu_barrier() recently started
doing get_online_cpus() to lock out CPU-hotplug operations entirely, which
means that the comment in rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage() that talks about
->onofflock is now obsolete.  This commit therefore fixes the comment.

Marc Zyngier aeed41a937 arm64: fix alignment padding in assembly code
An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h
is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have
even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this:

ENTRY(func1)
	mov	x0, xzr
ENDPROC(func1)
	// fall through
ENTRY(func2)
	mov	x0, #1
	ret
ENDPROC(func2)

Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another
architecture doesn't look completely sane either.

The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion
of proper AArch64 NOPs.

* Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
  even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This either
  results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing'
  the virtual machine.  Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and
  re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.

David Howells caabe24057 MODSIGN: Move the magic string to the end of a module and eliminate the search
Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the
signature data instead of before it.  This allows module_sig_check() to
be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the
magic string.  Instead we just need to do a single memcmp().

This works because at the end of the signature data there is the
fixed-length signature information block.  This block then falls
immediately prior to the magic number.

From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate
the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module
data.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 9e7814404b hold task->mempolicy while numa_maps scans.
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps scans vma and show mempolicy under
  mmap_sem. It sometimes accesses task->mempolicy which can
  be freed without mmap_sem and numa_maps can show some
  garbage while scanning.

This patch tries to take reference count of task->mempolicy at reading
numa_maps before calling get_vma_policy(). By this, task->mempolicy
will not be freed until numa_maps reaches its end.

V2->v3
  -  updated comments to be more verbose.
  -  removed task_lock() in numa_maps code.
V1->V2
  -  access task->mempolicy only once and remember it.  Becase kernel/exit.c
     can overwrite it.
