79f0713d40 prctl: use CAP_SYS_RESOURCE for PR_SET_MM option
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is already overloaded left and right, so to have more
fine-grained access control use CAP_SYS_RESOURCE here.

The CAP_SYS_RESOUCE is chosen because this prctl option allows a current
process to adjust some fields of memory map descriptor which rather
represents what the process owns: pointers to code, data, stack
segments, command line, auxiliary vector data and etc.

4293f20c19 Revert "CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't touch cpusets during suspend/resume"
This reverts commit 8f2f748b06.

It causes some odd regression that we have not figured out, and it's too
late in the -rc series to try to figure it out now.

As reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov, it causes consistent hangs on his
laptop (Thinkpad x220: 2x cores + HT).  They can be avoided by adding
calls to "rebuild_sched_domains();" in cpuset_cpu_[in]active() for the
CPU_{ONLINE/DOWN_FAILED/DOWN_PREPARE}_FROZEN cases, but it's not at all
clear why, and it makes no sense.

Konstantin's config doesn't even have CONFIG_CPUSETS enabled, just to
make things even more interesting.  So it's not the cpusets, it's just
the scheduling domains.

So until this is understood, revert.

52abb700e1 genirq: Clear action->thread_mask if IRQ_ONESHOT is not set
Xommit ac5637611(genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not woken)
fails to unmask when a !IRQ_ONESHOT threaded handler is handled by
handle_level_irq.

This happens because thread_mask is or'ed unconditionally in
irq_wake_thread(), but for !IRQ_ONESHOT interrupts never cleared.  So
the check for !desc->thread_active fails and keeps the interrupt
disabled.

Keep the thread_mask zero for !IRQ_ONESHOT interrupts.

Document the thread_mask magic while at it.

6027ce497d hung_task: fix the broken rcu_lock_break() logic
check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks()->rcu_lock_break() introduced by
"softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task" commit ce9dbe24 looks
absolutely wrong.

	- rcu_lock_break() does put_task_struct(). If the task has exited
	  it is not safe to even read its ->state, nothing protects this
	  task_struct.

	- The TASK_DEAD checks are wrong too. Contrary to the comment, we
	  can't use it to check if the task was unhashed. It can be unhashed
	  without TASK_DEAD, or it can be valid with TASK_DEAD.

	  For example, an autoreaping task can do release_task(current)
	  long before it sets TASK_DEAD in do_exit().

	  Or, a zombie task can have ->state == TASK_DEAD but release_task()
	  was not called, and in this case we must not break the loop.

Change this code to check pid_alive() instead, and do this before we drop
the reference to the task_struct.

Note: while_each_thread() under rcu_read_lock() is not really safe, it can
livelock.  This will be fixed later, but fortunately in this case the
"max_count" logic saves us anyway.

d68b46fe16 vfork: make it killable
Make vfork() killable.

Change do_fork(CLONE_VFORK) to do wait_for_completion_killable().  If it
fails we do not return to the user-mode and never touch the memory shared
with our child.

However, in this case we should clear child->vfork_done before return, we
use task_lock() in do_fork()->wait_for_vfork_done() and
complete_vfork_done() to serialize with each other.

Note: now that we use task_lock() we don't really need completion, we
could turn task->vfork_done into "task_struct *wake_up_me" but this needs
some complications.

NOTE: this and the next patches do not affect in-kernel users of
CLONE_VFORK, kernel threads run with all signals ignored including
SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.

However this is obviously the user-visible change.  Not only a fatal
signal can kill the vforking parent, a sub-thread can do execve or
exit_group() and kill the thread sleeping in vfork().

In V2 we are incorporating Masami Hiramatsu's  feedback.

c22ab33290 kmsg_dump: don't run on non-error paths by default
Since commit 04c6862c05 ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the
reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets
run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot.

This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only
represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops
before it's been picked up by userspace.  In addition, some pstore
backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in
reboot as a result.

This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also
be changed from userspace).  Without it, the code will only be run on
failure paths rather than on normal paths.  The option can be enabled in
environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a
reboot was cleanly requested or not.

62d3c5439c Block: use a freezable workqueue for disk-event polling
This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events
polling.  The polling is done by a work routine queued on the
system_nrt_wq workqueue.  Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the
polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition.

Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't
a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can
lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration.

The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant,
freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

8f2f748b06 CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't touch cpusets during suspend/resume
Currently, during CPU hotplug, the cpuset callbacks modify the cpusets
to reflect the state of the system, and this handling is asymmetric.
That is, upon CPU offline, that CPU is removed from all cpusets. However
when it comes back online, it is put back only to the root cpuset.

This gives rise to a significant problem during suspend/resume. During
suspend, we offline all non-boot cpus and during resume we online them back.
Which means, after a resume, all cpusets (except the root cpuset) will be
restricted to just one single CPU (the boot cpu). But the whole point of
suspend/resume is to restore the system to a state which is as close as
possible to how it was before suspend.

So to fix this, don't touch cpusets during suspend/resume. That is, modify
the cpuset-related CPU hotplug callback to just ignore CPU hotplug when it
is initiated as part of the suspend/resume sequence.

d80e731eca epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush ->signalfd_wqh before kfree()
This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review.
It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh.
See the next change.

epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything
f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue
can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case
of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand
which is not connected to the file.

This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for
epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the
necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in
eventpoll.

__cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if
->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup()
helper.

ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list).
This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you
share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you
should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do
not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with
epoll.

The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish
the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL)
returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does
EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd
has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread.

In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms.
It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll
locks, this seems to be true.

Note:

	- we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll()
	  is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE.

	- signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE,
	  we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to
	  make sure it can't be "lost".

8c79a045fd sched/events: Revert trace_sched_stat_sleeptime()
Commit 1ac9bc69 ("sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptime")
added a new sched:sched_stat_sleeptime tracepoint.

It's broken: the first sample we get on a task might be bad because
of a stale sleep_start value that wasn't reset at the last task switch
because the tracepoint was not active.

It also breaks the existing schedstat samples due to the side
effects of:

-               se->statistics.sleep_start = 0;
...
-               se->statistics.block_start = 0;

Nor do I see means to fix it without adding overhead to the scheduler
fast path, which I'm not willing to for the sake of redundant
instrumentation.

Most importantly, sleep time information can already be constructed
by tracing context switches and wakeups, and taking the timestamp
difference between the schedule-out, the wakeup and the schedule-in.

ac56376111 genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not woken
When the primary handler of an interrupt which is marked IRQ_ONESHOT
returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_NONE, then the interrupt thread is not
woken and the unmask logic of the interrupt line is never
invoked. This keeps the interrupt masked forever.

This was not noticed as most IRQ_ONESHOT users wake the thread
unconditionally (usually because they cannot access the underlying
device from hard interrupt context). Though this behaviour was nowhere
documented and not necessarily intentional. Some drivers can avoid the
thread wakeup in certain cases and run into the situation where the
interrupt line s kept masked.

Handle it gracefully.
