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.)

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.

10fb46d5f7 kprobes: handle empty/invalid input to debugfs "enabled" file
When writing invalid input to 'debug/kprobes/enabled' it'll silently be
ignored.  Even worse, when writing an empty string to this file, the
outcome is purely random as the switch statement will make its decision
based on the value of an uninitialized stack variable.

Fix this by handling invalid/empty input as error returning -EINVAL.

Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo:
 "cpuset has always been rather odd about its configurations - a cgroup
  right after creation didn't allow any task executions before
  configuration, changing configuration in the parent modifies the
  descendants irreversibly and so on.  These behaviors are inherently
  nasty and almost hostile against sharing the hierarchy with other
  controllers making it very difficult to use in unified hierarchy.

  Li is currently in the process of updating the behaviors for
  __DEVEL__sane_behavior which is the bulk of changes in this pull
  request.  It isn't complete yet and the behaviors will change further
  but all changes are gated behind sane_behavior.  In the process, the
  rather hairy work-item punting which was used to work around the
  limitations of cgroup descendant iterator was simplified."

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This pull request contains the following changes.

   - cgroup_subsys_state (css) reference counting has been converted to
     percpu-ref.  css is what each resource controller embeds into its
     own control structure and perform reference count against.  It may
     be used in hot paths of various subsystems and is similar to module
     refcnt in that aspect.  For example, block-cgroup's css refcnting
     was showing up a lot in Mikulaus's device-mapper scalability work
     and this should alleviate it.

   - cgroup subtree iterator has been updated so that RCU read lock can
     be released after grabbing reference.  This allows simplifying its
     users which requires blocking which used to build iteration list
     under RCU read lock and then traverse it outside.  This pull
     request contains simplification of cgroup core and device-cgroup.
     A separate pull request will update cpuset.

   - Fixes for various bugs including corner race conditions and RCU
     usage bugs.

   - A lot of cleanups and some prepartory work for the planned unified
     hierarchy support."

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
  custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
  changes necessary at this point.

  The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
  per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
  param whose default can be configured via a config option.  This leads
  to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
  bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
  certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
  big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.

  This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
  perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
  them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
  less effective.

  Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
  configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
  automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
  workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
  configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

0c46d68d19 Merge branch 'core-mutexes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics
  guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem.

  Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a
  similar type can be done in an arbitrary order.  The deadlock handling
  used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older
  tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock.  The younger
  tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently
  holding, ie the younger task is wounded.

  See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes:

     https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/

  The comments there outline specific usecases for this facility (which
  have already been implemented for the DRM tree).

  Also see Documentation/ww-mutex-design.txt for more details"

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big driver core merge for 3.11-rc1

  Lots of little things, and larger firmware subsystem updates, all
  described in the shortlog.  Nice thing here is that we finally get rid
  of CONFIG_HOTPLUG, after 10+ years, thanks to Stephen Rohtwell (it had
  been always on for a number of kernel releases, now it's just
  removed)"

Pull FS-Cache updates from David Howells:
 "This contains a number of fixes for various FS-Cache issues plus some
  cleanups.  The commits are, in order:

   1) Provide a system wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t() sharing
      the bit-wait table (enhancement for #8).

   2) Don't put spin_lock() in a while-condition as spin_lock() may have
      a do {} while(0) wrapper (cleanup).

   3) Symbolically name i_mutex lock classes rather than using numbers
      in CacheFiles (cleanup).

   4) Don't sleep in page release if __GFP_FS is not set (deadlock vs
      ext4).

   5) Uninline fscache_object_init() (cleanup for #7).

   6) Wrap checks on object state (cleanup for #7).

   7) Simplify the object state machine by separating work states from
      wait states.

   8) Simplify cookie retention by objects (NULL pointer deref fix).

   9) Remove unused list_to_page() macro (cleanup).

  10) Make the remaining-pages counter in the retrieval op atomic
      (assertion failure fix).

  11) Don't use spin_is_locked() in assertions (assertion failure fix)"

2fd1b48788 Merge tag 'v3.10' into sched/core
Merge in a recent upstream commit:

  c2853c8df5 include/linux/math64.h: add div64_ul()

because:

  72a4cf20cb sched: Change cfs_rq load avg to unsigned long

relies on it.

[ We don't rebase sched/core for this, because the handful of
  followup commits after the broken commit are not behavioral
  changes so are unlikely to be needed during bisection. ]
