I have removed all the entries from this table (core_table,
ipv4_table and tr_table), so now we can safely drop it.

This patch implements the basic infrastructure for per namespace sysctls.
A list of lists of sysctl headers is added, allowing each namespace to have
it's own list of sysctl headers.
Each list of sysctl headers has a lookup function to find the first
sysctl header in the list, allowing the lists to have a per namespace
instance.
register_sysct_root is added to tell sysctl.c about additional
lists of sysctl_headers. As all of the users are expected to be in
kernel no unregister function is provided.
sysctl_head_next is updated to walk through the list of lists.
__register_sysctl_paths is added to add a new sysctl table on
a non-default sysctl list.
The only intrusive part of this patch is propagating the information
to decided which list of sysctls to use for sysctl_check_table.

By doing this we allow users of register_sysctl_paths that build
and dynamically allocate their ctl_table to be simpler. This allows
them to just remember the ctl_table_header returned from
register_sysctl_paths from which they can now find the
ctl_table array they need to free.

There are a number of modules that register a sysctl table
somewhere deeply nested in the sysctl hierarchy, such as
fs/nfs, fs/xfs, dev/cdrom, etc.
They all specify several dummy ctl_tables for the path name.
This patch implements register_sysctl_path that takes
an additional path name, and makes up dummy sysctl nodes
for each component.
This patch was originally written by Olaf Kirch and
brought to my attention and reworked some by Olaf Hering.
I have changed a few additional things so the bugs are mine.
After converting all of the easy callers Olaf Hering observed
allyesconfig ARCH=i386, the patch reduces the final binary size by 9369 bytes.
.text +897
.data -7008

26960207 4038891 4718592 35717690 221023a ../O-allyesconfig/vmlinux
So this change is both a space savings and a code simplification.

Right now, the linux kernel (with scheduler statistics enabled) keeps track
of the maximum time a process is waiting to be scheduled. While the maximum
is a very useful metric, tracking average and total is equally useful
(at least for latencytop) to figure out the accumulated effect of scheduler
delays. The accumulated effect is important to judge the performance impact
of scheduler tuning/behavior.

printk timestamps: use ktime_get().
Some platforms have a functioning clocksource function only after
they are done with early bootup, so delay this until out of
SYSTEM_BOOTING state.
it's also inherently safe now, as any bugs in this area will be
caught by the printk recursion checks.

looking at it one more time:
(1) it looks to me that there is no need to call
sched_rt_ratio_exceeded() from pick_next_rt_entity()
- [ for CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED ] queues with rt_rq->rt_throttled are
not within this 'tree-like hierarchy' (or whatever we should call it
:-)
- there is also no need to re-check 'rt_rq->rt_time > ratio' at this
point as 'rt_rq->rt_time' couldn't have been increased since the last
call to update_curr_rt() (which obviously calls
sched_rt_ratio_esceeded())
well, it might be that 'ratio' for this rt_rq has been re-configured
(and the period over which this rt_rq was active has not yet been
finished)... but I don't think we should really take this into
account.
(2) now pick_next_rt_entity() must never return NULL, so let's change
pick_next_task_rt() accordingly.

Based on a suggestion from Andi:
In various cases, the unload of a module may leave some bad state around
that causes a kernel crash AFTER a module is unloaded; and it's then hard
to find which module caused that.
This patch tracks the last unloaded module, and prints this as part of the
module list in the oops trace.
Right now, only the last 1 module is tracked; I expect that this is enough
for the vast majority of cases where this information matters; if it turns
out that tracking more is important, we can always extend it to that.

It's rather common that an oops/WARN_ON/BUG happens during the load or
unload of a module. Unfortunatly, it's not always easy to see directly
which module is being loaded/unloaded from the oops itself. Worse,
it's not even always possible to ask the bug reporter, since there
are so many components (udev etc) that auto-load modules that there's
a good chance that even the reporter doesn't know which module this is.
This patch extends the existing "show if it's tainting" print code,
which is used as part of printing the modules in the oops/BUG/WARN_ON
to include a "+" for "being loaded" and a "-" for "being unloaded".
As a result this extension, the "taint_flags()" function gets renamed to
"module_flags()" (and takes a module struct as argument, not a taint
flags int).
