After several hours, kbuild tests hang with anon_vma_prepare() spinning on
a newly allocated anon_vma's lock - on a box with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y
(which makes this very much more likely, but it could happen without).
The ever-subtle page_lock_anon_vma() now needs a further twist: since
anon_vma_prepare() and anon_vma_fork() are liable to change the ->root
of a reused anon_vma structure at any moment, page_lock_anon_vma()
needs to check page_mapped() again before succeeding, otherwise
page_unlock_anon_vma() might address a different root->lock.

When pcpu_build_alloc_info() searches best_upa value, it ignores current value
if the number of waste units exceeds 1/3 of the number of total cpus. But the
comment on the code says that it will ignore if wastage is over 25%.

Writeback is not terminating in background writeback if ->writepage is
returning with wbc->nr_to_write == 0, resulting in sub-optimal single page
writeback on XFS.
Fix the write_cache_pages loop to terminate correctly when this situation
occurs and so prevent this sub-optimal background writeback pattern. This
improves sustained sequential buffered write performance from around
250MB/s to 750MB/s for a 100GB file on an XFS filesystem on my 8p test VM.

Like the mlock() change previously, this makes the stack guard check
code use vma->vm_prev to see what the mapping below the current stack
is, rather than have to look it up with find_vma().
Also, accept an abutting stack segment, since that happens naturally if
you split the stack with mlock or mprotect.

It's a really simple list, and several of the users want to go backwards
in it to find the previous vma. So rather than have to look up the
previous entry with 'find_vma_prev()' or something similar, just make it
doubly linked instead.

dump_tasks() needs to hold the RCU read lock around its access of the
target task's UID. To this end it should use task_uid() as it only needs
that one thing from the creds.
The fact that dump_tasks() holds tasklist_lock is insufficient to prevent the
target process replacing its credentials on another CPU.
Then, this patch change to call rcu_read_lock() explicitly.

This commit makes the stack guard page somewhat less visible to user
space. It does this by:
- not showing the guard page in /proc/<pid>/maps
It looks like lvm-tools will actually read /proc/self/maps to figure
out where all its mappings are, and effectively do a specialized
"mlockall()" in user space. By not showing the guard page as part of
the mapping (by just adding PAGE_SIZE to the start for grows-up
pages), lvm-tools ends up not being aware of it.
- by also teaching the _real_ mlock() functionality not to try to lock
the guard page.
That would just expand the mapping down to create a new guard page,
so there really is no point in trying to lock it in place.
It would perhaps be nice to show the guard page specially in
/proc/<pid>/maps (or at least mark grow-down segments some way), but
let's not open ourselves up to more breakage by user space from programs
that depends on the exact deails of the 'maps' file.
Special thanks to Henrique de Moraes Holschuh for diving into lvm-tools
source code to see what was going on with the whole new warning.

We do in fact need to unmap the page table _before_ doing the whole
stack guard page logic, because if it is needed (mainly 32-bit x86 with
PAE and CONFIG_HIGHPTE, but other architectures may use it too) then it
will do a kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic.
And those kmaps will create an atomic region that we cannot do
allocations in. However, the whole stack expand code will need to do
anon_vma_prepare() and vma_lock_anon_vma() and they cannot do that in an
atomic region.
Now, a better model might actually be to do the anon_vma_prepare() when
_creating_ a VM_GROWSDOWN segment, and not have to worry about any of
this at page fault time. But in the meantime, this is the
straightforward fix for the issue.

This is a rather minimally invasive patch to solve the problem of the
user stack growing into a memory mapped area below it. Whenever we fill
the first page of the stack segment, expand the segment down by one
page.
Now, admittedly some odd application might _want_ the stack to grow down
into the preceding memory mapping, and so we may at some point need to
make this a process tunable (some people might also want to have more
than a single page of guarding), but let's try the minimal approach
first.
Tested with trivial application that maps a single page just below the
stack, and then starts recursing. Without this, we will get a SIGSEGV
_after_ the stack has smashed the mapping. With this patch, we'll get a
nice SIGBUS just as the stack touches the page just above the mapping.
