fab840fc2d ptrace: PTRACE_DETACH should do flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint(child)
Change ptrace_detach() to call flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint(child).  This
frees the slots for non-ptrace PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT users, and this
ensures that the tracee won't be killed by SIGTRAP triggered by the
active breakpoints.

Test-case:

	unsigned long encode_dr7(int drnum, int enable, unsigned int type, unsigned int len)
	{
		unsigned long dr7;

		dr7 = ((len | type) & 0xf)
			<< (DR_CONTROL_SHIFT + drnum * DR_CONTROL_SIZE);
		if (enable)
			dr7 |= (DR_GLOBAL_ENABLE << (drnum * DR_ENABLE_SIZE));

		return dr7;
	}

	int write_dr(int pid, int dr, unsigned long val)
	{
		return ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, pid,
				offsetof (struct user, u_debugreg[dr]),
				val);
	}

	void func(void)
	{
	}

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, stat;
		unsigned long dr7;

		pid = fork();
		if (!pid) {
			assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
			kill(getpid(), SIGHUP);

			func();
			return 0x13;
		}

		assert(pid == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
		assert(WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGHUP);

		assert(write_dr(pid, 0, (long)func) == 0);
		dr7 = encode_dr7(0, 1, DR_RW_EXECUTE, DR_LEN_1);
		assert(write_dr(pid, 7, dr7) == 0);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(pid == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
		assert(stat == 0x1300);

		return 0;
	}

Before this patch the child is killed after PTRACE_DETACH.

7c8df28633 ptrace: revert "Prepare to fix racy accesses on task breakpoints"
This reverts commit bf26c01849 ("Prepare to fix racy accesses on task
breakpoints").

The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after commit
9899d11f65 ("ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race
with SIGKILL"), the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and
->ptrace_bps[] can't go away.

Now that ptrace_get_breakpoints/ptrace_put_breakpoints have no callers,
we can kill them and remove task->ptrace_bp_refcnt.

79f6530cb5 audit: fix mq_open and mq_unlink to add the MQ root as a hidden parent audit_names record
The old audit PATH records for mq_open looked like this:

  type=PATH msg=audit(1366282323.982:869): item=1 name=(null) inode=6777
  dev=00:0c mode=041777 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
  obj=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023
  type=PATH msg=audit(1366282323.982:869): item=0 name="test_mq" inode=26732
  dev=00:0c mode=0100700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
  obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023

...with the audit related changes that went into 3.7, they now look like this:

  type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=2 name=(null) inode=66655
  dev=00:0c mode=0100700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
  obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023
  type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=1 name=(null) inode=6926
  dev=00:0c mode=041777 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
  obj=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s15:c0.c1023
  type=PATH msg=audit(1366282236.776:3606): item=0 name="test_mq"

Both of these look wrong to me.  As Steve Grubb pointed out:

 "What we need is 1 PATH record that identifies the MQ.  The other PATH
  records probably should not be there."

Fix it to record the mq root as a parent, and flag it such that it
should be hidden from view when the names are logged, since the root of
the mq filesystem isn't terribly interesting.  With this change, we get
a single PATH record that looks more like this:

  type=PATH msg=audit(1368021604.836:484): item=0 name="test_mq" inode=16914
  dev=00:0c mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00
  obj=unconfined_u:object_r:user_tmpfs_t:s0

In order to do this, a new audit_inode_parent_hidden() function is
added.  If we do it this way, then we avoid having the existing callers
of audit_inode needing to do any sort of flag conversion if auditing is
inactive.

5ec2481b7b hrtimers: Move SMP function call to thread context
smp_call_function_* must not be called from softirq context.

But clock_was_set() which calls on_each_cpu() is called from softirq
context to implement a delayed clock_was_set() for the timer interrupt
handler. Though that almost never gets invoked. A recent change in the
resume code uses the softirq based delayed clock_was_set to support
Xens resume mechanism.

linux-next contains a new warning which warns if smp_call_function_*
is called from softirq context which gets triggered by that Xen
change.

Fix this by moving the delayed clock_was_set() call to a work context.

332962f2c8 clocksource: Reselect clocksource when watchdog validated high-res capability
Up to commit 5d33b883a (clocksource: Always verify highres capability)
we had no sanity check when selecting a clocksource, which prevented
that a non highres capable clocksource is used when the system already
switched to highres/nohz mode.

The new sanity check works as Alex and Tim found out. It prevents the
TSC from being used. This happens because on x86 the boot process
looks like this:

 tsc_start_freqency_validation(TSC);
 clocksource_register(HPET);
 clocksource_done_booting();
	clocksource_select()
		Selects HPET which is valid for high-res

 switch_to_highres();

 clocksource_register(TSC);
 	TSC is not selected, because it is not yet
	flagged as VALID_HIGH_RES

 clocksource_watchdog()
	Validates TSC for highres, but that does not make TSC
	the current clocksource.

Before the sanity check was added, we installed TSC unvalidated which
worked most of the time. If the TSC was really detected as unstable,
then the unstable logic removed it and installed HPET again.

The sanity check is correct and needed. So the watchdog needs to kick
a reselection of the clocksource, when it qualifies TSC as a valid
high res clocksource.

To solve this, we mark the clocksource which got the flag
CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES set by the watchdog with an new flag
CLOCK_SOURCE_RESELECT and trigger the watchdog thread. The watchdog
thread evaluates the flag and invokes clocksource_select() when set.

To avoid that the clocksource_done_booting() code, which is about to
install the first real clocksource anyway, needs to go through
clocksource_select and tick_oneshot_notify() pointlessly, split out
the clocksource_watchdog_kthread() list walk code and invoke the
select/notify only when called from clocksource_watchdog_kthread().

So clocksource_done_booting() can utilize the same splitout code
without the select/notify invocation and the clocksource_mutex
unlock/relock dance.

fa18f7bde3 posix-cpu-timers: don't account cpu timer after stopped thread runtime accounting
When tsk->signal->cputimer->running is 1, signal->cputimer (i.e. per process
timer account) and tsk->sum_sched_runtime (i.e. per thread timer account)
increase at the same pace because update_curr() increases both accounting.

However, there is one exception. When thread exiting, __exit_signal() turns
over task's sum_shced_runtime to sig->sum_sched_runtime, but it doesn't stop
signal->cputimer accounting.

This inconsistency makes POSIX timer wake up too early. This patch fixes it.

18c830df77 kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): consolidate the lockless CLONE_THREAD checks
copy_process() does a lot of "chaotic" initializations and checks
CLONE_THREAD twice before it takes tasklist.  In particular it sets
"p->group_leader = p" and then changes it again under tasklist if
!thread_group_leader(p).

This looks a bit confusing, lets create a single "if (CLONE_THREAD)" block
which initializes ->exit_signal, ->group_leader, and ->tgid.

8190773985 kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): don't add the uninitialized child to thread/task/pid lists
copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and
then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID).  This means that the lockless
next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid.  Say,
"ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice.

We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case
find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully
initialized.

And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch
copy_process() initializes child->pids[*].pid first, then calls
attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid->tasks list.

attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always
called after pid_link->pid was already set.

80628ca06c kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): unify CLONE_THREAD-or-thread_group_leader code
Cleanup and preparation for the next changes.

Move the "if (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD)" code down under "if
(likely(p->pid))" and turn it into into the "else" branch.  This makes the
process/thread initialization more symmetrical and removes one check.

b57922b6c7 fork: reorder permissions when violating number of processes limits
When a task is attempting to violate the RLIMIT_NPROC limit we have a
check to see if the task is sufficiently priviledged.  The check first
looks at CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, then if the task is uid=0.

A result is that tasks which are allowed by the uid=0 check are first
checked against the security subsystem.  This results in the security
subsystem auditting a denial for sys_admin and sys_resource and then the
task passing the uid=0 check.

This patch rearranges the code to first check uid=0, since if we pass that
we shouldn't hit the security system at all.  We then check sys_resource,
since it is the smallest capability which will solve the problem.  Lastly
we check the fallback everything cap_sysadmin.  We don't want to give this
capability many places since it is so powerful.

This will eliminate many of the false positive/needless denial messages we
get when a root task tries to violate the nproc limit.  (note that
kthreads count against root, so on a sufficiently large machine we can
actually get past the default limits before any userspace tasks are
launched.)

81dabb4641 exit.c: unexport __set_special_pids()
Move __set_special_pids() from exit.c to sys.c close to its single caller
and make it static.

And rename it to set_special_pids(), another helper with this name has
gone away.

7f57cfa4e2 usermodehelper: kill the sub_info->path[0] check
call_usermodehelper_exec() does nothing but returns success if path[0] ==
0.  The only user which needs this strange feature is request_module(), it
can check modprobe_path[0] itself like other users do if they want to
detect the "disabled by admin" case.

Kill it.  Not only it looks strange, it can confuse other callers.  And
this allows us to revert 264b83c0 ("usermodehelper: check
subprocess_info->path != NULL"), do_execve(NULL) is safe.

29000caecb ptrace: add ability to get/set signal-blocked mask
crtools uses a parasite code for dumping processes.  The parasite code is
injected into a process with help PTRACE_SEIZE.

Currently crtools blocks signals from a parasite code.  If a process has
pending signals, crtools wait while a process handles these signals.

This method is not suitable for stopped tasks.  A stopped task can have a
few pending signals, when we will try to execute a parasite code, we will
need to drop SIGSTOP, but all other signals must remain pending, because a
state of processes must not be changed during checkpointing.

This patch adds two ptrace commands to set/get signal-blocked mask.

I think gdb can use this commands too.
