nohz: Fix idle ticks in cpu summary line of /proc/stat
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps scans vma and show mempolicy under
mmap_sem. It sometimes accesses task->mempolicy which can
be freed without mmap_sem and numa_maps can show some
garbage while scanning.
This patch tries to take reference count of task->mempolicy at reading
numa_maps before calling get_vma_policy(). By this, task->mempolicy
will not be freed until numa_maps reaches its end.
V2->v3
- updated comments to be more verbose.
- removed task_lock() in numa_maps code.
V1->V2
- access task->mempolicy only once and remember it. Becase kernel/exit.c
can overwrite it.

When reading /proc/pid/numa_maps, it's possible to return the contents of
the stack where the mempolicy string should be printed if the policy gets
freed from beneath us.
This happens because mpol_to_str() may return an error the
stack-allocated buffer is then printed without ever being stored.
There are two possible error conditions in mpol_to_str():
- if the buffer allocated is insufficient for the string to be stored,
and
- if the mempolicy has an invalid mode.
The first error condition is not triggered in any of the callers to
mpol_to_str(): at least 50 bytes is always allocated on the stack and this
is sufficient for the string to be written. A future patch should convert
this into BUILD_BUG_ON() since we know the maximum strlen possible, but
that's not -rc material.
The second error condition is possible if a race occurs in dropping a
reference to a task's mempolicy causing it to be freed during the read().
The slab poison value is then used for the mode and mpol_to_str() returns
-EINVAL.
This race is only possible because get_vma_policy() believes that
mm->mmap_sem protects task->mempolicy, which isn't true. The exit path
does not hold mm->mmap_sem when dropping the reference or setting
task->mempolicy to NULL: it uses task_lock(task) instead.
Thus, it's required for the caller of a task mempolicy to hold
task_lock(task) while grabbing the mempolicy and reading it. Callers with
a vma policy store their mempolicy earlier and can simply increment the
reference count so it's guaranteed not to be freed.

Git commit 09a1d34f85 "nohz: Make idle/iowait counter update
conditional" introduced a bug in regard to cpu hotplug. The effect is
that the number of idle ticks in the cpu summary line in /proc/stat is
still counting ticks for offline cpus.
Reproduction is easy, just start a workload that keeps all cpus busy,
switch off one or more cpus and then watch the idle field in top.
On a dual-core with one cpu 100% busy and one offline cpu you will get
something like this:
%Cpu(s): 48.7 us, 1.3 sy, 0.0 ni, 50.0 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si,
%0.0 st
The problem is that an offline cpu still has ts->idle_active == 1.
To fix this we should make sure that the cpu is online when calling
get_cpu_idle_time_us and get_cpu_iowait_time_us.

KPF_THP can be set on non-huge compound pages (like slab pages or pages
allocated by drivers with __GFP_COMP) because PageTransCompound only
checks PG_head and PG_tail. Obviously this is a bug and breaks user space
applications which look for thp via /proc/kpageflags.
This patch rules out setting KPF_THP wrongly by additionally checking
PageLRU on the head pages.

The recently added code to use rbtrees in sysctl did not follow the proper
rbtree interface on insertion - it was calling rb_link_node() which
inserts a new node into the binary tree, but missed the call to
rb_insert_color() which properly balances the rbtree and establishes all
expected rbtree invariants.
I found out about this only because faulty commit also used
rb_init_node(), which I am removing within this patchset. But I think
it's an easy mistake to make, and it makes me wonder if we should change
the rbtree API so that insertions would be done with a single rb_insert()
call (even if its implementation could still inline the rb_link_node()
part and call a private __rb_insert_color function to do the rebalancing).

Empty nodes have no color. We can make use of this property to simplify
the code emitted by the RB_EMPTY_NODE and RB_CLEAR_NODE macros. Also,
we can get rid of the rb_init_node function which had been introduced by
commit 88d19cf379 ("timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack
allocated rb nodes") to avoid some issue with the empty node's color not
being initialized.
I'm not sure what the RB_EMPTY_NODE checks in rb_prev() / rb_next() are
doing there, though. axboe introduced them in commit 10fd48f237
("rbtree: fixed reversed RB_EMPTY_NODE and rb_next/prev"). The way I
see it, the 'empty node' abstraction is only used by rbtree users to
flag nodes that they haven't inserted in any rbtree, so asking the
predecessor or successor of such nodes doesn't make any sense.
One final rb_init_node() caller was recently added in sysctl code to
implement faster sysctl name lookups. This code doesn't make use of
RB_EMPTY_NODE at all, and from what I could see it only called
rb_init_node() under the mistaken assumption that such initialization was
required before node insertion.

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
| effect | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

proc_get_inode() obtains the inode via a call to iget_locked().
iget_locked() calls alloc_inode() which will call proc_alloc_inode() which
clears proc_inode.fd, so there is no need to clear this field in
proc_get_inode().
If iget_locked() instead found the inode via find_inode_fast(), that inode
will not have I_NEW set so this change has no effect.

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c
(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).
A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.
- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).
- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.
- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.
- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."
Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of
/proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket)

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.
The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.
The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.
Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.
Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.
While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.
Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.
After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

Implement kprojid_t a cousin of the kuid_t and kgid_t.
The per user namespace mapping of project id values can be set with

A full compliment of helpers is provided: make_kprojid, from_kprojid,

Project identifiers are part of the generic disk quota interface,
although it appears only xfs implements project identifiers currently.
The xfs code allows anyone who has permission to set the project
identifier on a file to use any project identifier so when
setting up the user namespace project identifier mappings I do
not require a capability.
