Josh Triplett 5d2acfc7b9 kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT
"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.

However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT.  For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.

To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols.  Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT).  allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

Josh Triplett 6035d9db38 ia64: select CONFIG_TTY for use of tty_write_message in unaligned
Fix breakage which will be exposed by the patch "kconfig: make allnoconfig
disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT".

arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c uses tty_write_message to print an
unaligned access exception to the TTY of the current user process.
Enable TTY to prevent a build error.

Minimal fix, on the basis that few people on ia64 will care deeply about
kernel size enough to turn off TTY.  Ideally, I'd instead suggest
dropping the tty_write_message entirely, and just leaving the printk.
Bonus: no need to sprintf first.

Normal behavior for filenames exceeding specific filesystem limits is to
refuse operation.

AFFS standard name length being only 30 characters against 255 for usual
Linux filesystems, original implementation does filename truncate by
default with a define value AFFS_NO_TRUNCATE which can be enabled but
needs module compilation.

This patch adds 'nofilenametruncate' mount option so that user can
easily activate that feature and avoid a lot of problems (eg overwrite

Alexandre Bounine 2aaf308b95 rapidio: rework device hierarchy and introduce mport class of devices
This patch removes an artificial RapidIO bus root device and establishes
actual device hierarchy by providing reference to real parent devices.
It also introduces device class for RapidIO controller devices (on-chip
or an eternal bridge, known as "mport").

Existing implementation was sufficient for SoC-based platforms that have
a single RapidIO controller.  With introduction of devices using
multiple RapidIO controllers and PCIe-to-RapidIO bridges the old scheme
is very limiting or does not work at all.  The implemented changes allow
to properly reference platform's local RapidIO mport devices and provide
device details needed for upper layers.

This change to RapidIO device hierarchy does not break any known
existing kernel or user space interfaces.

Monam Agarwal 3f59b067c5 lib/idr.c: use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)
Replace rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)

The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.  And in the
case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.

So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to
RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL)

WANG Chao c4082f36fa vmcore: continue vmcore initialization if PT_NOTE is found empty
Currently when an empty PT_NOTE is detected, vmcore initialization
fails.  It sounds too harsh.  Because PT_NOTE could be empty, for
example, one offlined a cpu but never restarted kdump service, and after
crash, PT_NOTE program header is there but no data contains.  It's
better to warn about the empty PT_NOTE and continue to initialise
vmcore.

And ultimately the multiple PT_NOTE are merged into a single one, all
empty PT_NOTE are discarded naturally during the merge.  So empty
PT_NOTE is not visible to user space and vmcore is as good as expected.

Oleg Nesterov 7c733eb3ea wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED doesn't work if a zombie leader is traced by another process
Even if the main thread is dead the process still can stop/continue.
However, if the leader is ptraced wait_consider_task(ptrace => false)
always skips wait_task_stopped/wait_task_continued, so WSTOPPED or
WCONTINUED can never work for the natural parent in this case.

Move the "A zombie ptracee is only visible to its ptracer" check into the
"if (!delay_group_leader(p))" block.  ->notask_error is cleared by the
"fall through" code below.

This depends on the previous change, wait_task_stopped/continued must be
avoided if !delay_group_leader() and the tracer is ->real_parent.
Otherwise WSTOPPED|WEXITED could wrongly report "stopped" when the child
is already dead (single-threaded or not).  If it is traced by another task
then the "stopped" state is fine until the debugger detaches and reveals a
zombie state.

Stupid test-case:

	void *tfunc(void *arg)
	{
		sleep(1);	// wait for zombie leader
		raise(SIGSTOP);
		exit(0x13);
		return NULL;
	}

	int run_child(void)
	{
		pthread_t thread;

		if (!fork()) {
			int tracee = getppid();

			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, 0,0) == 0);
			do
				ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, 0,0);
			while (wait(NULL) > 0);

			return 0;
		}

		sleep(1);	// wait for PTRACE_ATTACH
		assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0);
		pthread_exit(NULL);
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		int child, stat;

		child = fork();
		if (!child)
			return run_child();

		assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WSTOPPED));
		assert(stat == 0x137f);

		kill(child, SIGCONT);

		assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WCONTINUED));
		assert(stat == 0xffff);

		assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
		assert(stat == 0x1300);

		return 0;
	}

Without this patch it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED), wait_task_stopped() is
never called.

Note: this doesn't fix all problems with a zombie delay_group_leader(),
WCONTINUED | WEXITED check is not exactly right.  debugger can't assume it
will be notified if another thread reaps the whole thread group.

Oleg Nesterov 377d75dafa wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED hangs if a zombie child is traced by real_parent
"A zombie is only visible to its ptracer" logic in wait_consider_task()
is very wrong. Trivial test-case:

	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <sys/ptrace.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <assert.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		int child = fork();

		if (!child) {
			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
			return 0x23;
		}

		assert(waitid(P_ALL, child, NULL, WEXITED | WNOWAIT) == 0);
		assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WSTOPPED) == -1);
		return 0;
	}

it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED) despite the fact it has a single zombie
child.  This is because wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) sees p->ptrace and
cleares ->notask_error assuming that the debugger should detach and notify
us.

Change wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) to pretend that ptrace == T if the
child is traced by us.  This really simplifies the logic and allows us to
do more fixes, see the next changes.  This also hides the unwanted group
stop state automatically, we can remove another ptrace_reparented() check.

Unfortunately, this adds the following behavioural changes:

	1. Before this patch wait(WEXITED | __WNOTHREAD) does not reap
	   a natural child if it is traced by the caller's sub-thread.

	   Hopefully nobody will ever notice this change, and I think
	   that nobody should rely on this behaviour anyway.

	2. SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED is no longer hidden from debugger if
	   it is real parent.

	   While this change comes as a side effect, I think it is good
	   by itself. The group continued state can not be consumed by
	   another process in this case, it doesn't depend on ptrace,
	   it doesn't make sense to hide it from real parent.

	   Perhaps we should add the thread_group_leader() check before
	   wait_task_continued()? May be, but this shouldn't depend on
	   ptrace_reparented().

Oleg Nesterov ad86622b47 wait: swap EXIT_ZOMBIE and EXIT_DEAD to hide EXIT_TRACE from user-space
get_task_state() uses the most significant bit to report the state to
user-space, this means that EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_TRACE->EXIT_DEAD transition
can be noticed via /proc as Z -> X -> Z change.  Note that this was
possible even before EXIT_TRACE was introduced.

This is not really bad but imho it make sense to hide EXIT_TRACE from
user-space completely.  So the patch simply swaps EXIT_ZOMBIE and
EXIT_DEAD, this way EXIT_TRACE will be seen as EXIT_ZOMBIE by user-space.

Oleg Nesterov b436069059 wait: use EXIT_TRACE only if thread_group_leader(zombie)
wait_task_zombie() always uses EXIT_TRACE/ptrace_unlink() if
ptrace_reparented().  This is suboptimal and a bit confusing: we do not
need do_notify_parent(p) if !thread_group_leader(p) and in this case we
also do not need ptrace_unlink(), we can rely on ptrace_release_task().

Change wait_task_zombie() to check thread_group_leader() along with
ptrace_reparented() and simplify the final p->exit_state transition.

Oleg Nesterov abd50b39e7 wait: introduce EXIT_TRACE to avoid the racy EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE transition
wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_DEAD transition and
drops tasklist_lock.  If this task is not the natural child and it is
traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for ->real_parent.

The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d25748
"ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE
race".  wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear
->notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can
exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE.

And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition
can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset >exit_signal if
EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else.  So
the tracee can be re-parented with ->exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if
/sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable.  This was fixed by
the previous commit, but it was the temporary hack.

1. Add the new exit_state, EXIT_TRACE. It means that the task is the
   traced zombie, debugger is going to detach and notify its natural
   parent.

   This new state is actually EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD. This way we
   can avoid the changes in proc/kgdb code, get_task_state() still
   reports "X (dead)" in this case.

   Note: with or without this change userspace can see Z -> X -> Z
   transition. Not really bad, but probably makes sense to fix.

2. Change wait_task_zombie() to use EXIT_TRACE instead of EXIT_DEAD
   if we need to notify the ->real_parent.

3. Revert the previous hack in reparent_leader(), now that EXIT_DEAD
   is always the final state we can safely ignore such a task.

4. Change wait_consider_task() to check EXIT_TRACE separately and kill
   the racy and no longer needed ptrace_reparented() case.

   If ptrace == T an EXIT_TRACE thread should be simply ignored, the
   owner of this state is going to ptrace_unlink() this task. We can
   pretend that it was already removed from ->ptraced list.

   Otherwise we should skip this thread too but clear ->notask_error,
   we must be the natural parent and debugger is going to untrace and
   notify us. IOW, this doesn't differ from "EXIT_ZOMBIE && p->ptrace"
   even if the task was already untraced.
