Fix up conflict in kernel/cgroup.c due to commit e0197aae59: "cgroups:
fix a css_set not found bug in cgroup_attach_proc" that already
mentioned that the bug is fixed (differently) in Tejun's cgroup
patchset. This one, in other words.
Make the following renames to prepare for extension of threadgroup
locking.
* s/signal->threadgroup_fork_lock/signal->group_rwsem/
* s/threadgroup_fork_read_lock()/threadgroup_change_begin()/
* s/threadgroup_fork_read_unlock()/threadgroup_change_end()/
* s/threadgroup_fork_write_lock()/threadgroup_lock()/
* s/threadgroup_fork_write_unlock()/threadgroup_unlock()/
This patch doesn't cause any behavior change.
-v2: Rename threadgroup_change_done() to threadgroup_change_end() per
KAMEZAWA's suggestion.

In UP systems, the idle task is initialized using the init_task
structure from which the command name is taken (currently "swapper").
In SMP systems, one idle task per CPU is forked by the worker thread
from which the task structure is copied. The command name is, therefore,
"kworker/0:0" or "kworker/0:1", if not updated. Since such update was
lacking, all idle tasks in SMP systems were incorrectly named. This
longtime bug was not discovered immediately, because there is no /proc/0
entry - the bug only becomes apparent when tracing is enabled.
This patch sets the command name of the idle tasks in SMP systems to the
name that is used in the INIT_TASK structure suffixed by a slash and the
number of the CPU.

The thread_group_cputimer lock can be taken in atomic context and therefore
cannot be preempted on -rt - annotate it.
In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep
and Sparse checking will work as usual.

fs_excl is a poor man's priority inheritance for filesystems to hint to
the block layer that an operation is important. It was never clearly
specified, not widely adopted, and will not prevent starvation in many
cases (like across cgroups).
fs_excl was introduced with the time sliced CFQ IO scheduler, to
indicate when a process held FS exclusive resources and thus needed
a boost.
It doesn't cover all file systems, and it was never fully complete.
Lets kill it.

Adds functionality to read/write lock CLONE_THREAD fork()ing per-threadgroup
Add an rwsem that lives in a threadgroup's signal_struct that's taken for
reading in the fork path, under CONFIG_CGROUPS. If another part of the
kernel later wants to use such a locking mechanism, the CONFIG_CGROUPS
ifdefs should be changed to a higher-up flag that CGROUPS and the other
system would both depend on.
This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-write.patch.

Add priority boosting, but only for TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This is enabled
by the default-off RCU_BOOST kernel parameter. The priority to which to
boost preempted RCU readers is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_PRIO kernel
parameter (defaulting to real-time priority 1) and the time to wait
before boosting the readers blocking a given grace period is controlled
by the RCU_BOOST_DELAY kernel parameter (defaulting to 500 milliseconds).

Oleg Nesterov pointed out we have to prevent multiple-threads-inside-exec
itself and we can reuse ->cred_guard_mutex for it. Yes, concurrent
execve() has no worth.
Let's move ->cred_guard_mutex from task_struct to signal_struct. It

Implement a small-memory-footprint uniprocessor-only implementation of
preemptible RCU. This implementation uses but a single blocked-tasks
list rather than the combinatorial number used per leaf rcu_node by
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which reduces memory consumption and greatly simplifies
processing. This version also takes advantage of uniprocessor execution
to accelerate grace periods in the case where there are no readers.
The general design is otherwise broadly similar to that of TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.
This implementation is a step towards having RCU implementation driven
off of the SMP and PREEMPT kernel configuration variables, which can
happen once this implementation has accumulated sufficient experience.
Removed ACCESS_ONCE() from __rcu_read_unlock() and added barrier() as
suggested by Steve Rostedt in order to avoid the compiler-reordering
issue noted by Mathieu Desnoyers (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/16/183).
As can be seen below, CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU represents almost 5Kbyte
savings compared to CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. Of course, for non-real-time
workloads, CONFIG_TINY_RCU is even better.

"statically initialize struct pid for swapper" commit 820e45db says:
Statically initialize a struct pid for the swapper process (pid_t == 0)
and attach it to init_task. This is needed so task_pid(), task_pgrp()
and task_session() interfaces work on the swapper process also.
OK, but:
- it doesn't make sense to add init_task.pids[].node into
init_struct_pid.tasks[], and in fact this just wrong.
idle threads are special, they shouldn't be visible on any
global list. In particular do_each_pid_task(init_struct_pid)
shouldn't see swapper.
This is the actual reason why kill(0, SIGKILL) from /sbin/init
(which starts with 0,0 special pids) crashes the kernel. The
signal sent to pgid/sid == 0 must never see idle threads, even
if the previous patch fixed the crash itself.
- we have other idle threads running on the non-boot CPUs, see
the next patch.
Change INIT_STRUCT_PID/INIT_PID_LINK to create the empty/unhashed
hlist_head/hlist_node. Like any other idle thread swapper can never exit,
so detach_pid()->__hlist_del() is not possible, but we could change
INIT_PID_LINK() to set pprev = &next if needed.
All we need is the valid swapper->pids[].pid == &init_struct_pid.

The trivial /sbin/init doing
int main(void)
{
kill(0, SIGKILL)
}
crashes the kernel.
This happens because __kill_pgrp_info(init_struct_pid) also sends SIGKILL
to the swapper process which runs with the uninitialized ->thread_group.
Change INIT_TASK() to initialize ->thread_group properly.
Note: the real problem is that the swapper process must not be visible to
signals, see the next patch. But this change is right anyway and fixes
the crash.

No functional changes, just s/atomic_t count/int nr_threads/.
With the recent changes this counter has a single user, get_nr_threads()
And, none of its callers need the really accurate number of threads, not
to mention each caller obviously races with fork/exit. It is only used to
report this value to the user-space, except first_tid() uses it to avoid
the unnecessary while_each_thread() loop in the unlikely case.
It is a bit sad we need a word in struct signal_struct for this, perhaps
we can change get_nr_threads() to approximate the number of threads using
signal->live and kill ->nr_threads later.
