workqueue: make alloc_workqueue() take printf fmt and args for name
alloc_workqueue() currently expects the passed in @name pointer to remain
accessible. This is inconvenient and a bit silly given that the whole wq
is being dynamically allocated. This patch updates alloc_workqueue() and
friends to take printf format string instead of opaque string and matching
varargs at the end. The name is allocated together with the wq and
formatted.
alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs
handling with alloc_workqueue(), and, while at it, add comment to
alloc_workqueue().
None of the current in-kernel users pass in string with '%' as constant

procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options
Add support for mount options to restrict access to /proc/PID/
directories. The default backward-compatible "relaxed" behaviour is left
untouched.
The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much
info about processes we want to be available for non-owners:
hidepid=0 (default) means the old behavior - anybody may read all
world-readable /proc/PID/* files.
hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but
their own. Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected
against other users. As permission checking done in proc_pid_permission()
and files' permissions are left untouched, programs expecting specific
files' modes are not confused.
hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to other
users. It doesn't mean that it hides whether a process exists (it can be
learned by other means, e.g. by kill -0 $PID), but it hides process' euid
and egid. It compicates intruder's task of gathering info about running
processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated privileges, whether
another user runs some sensitive program, whether other users run any
program at all, etc.
gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info
(as in hidepid=0 mode). This group should be used instead of putting
nonroot user in sudoers file or something. However, untrusted users (like
daemons, etc.) which are not supposed to monitor the tasks in the whole
system should not be added to the group.
hidepid=1 or higher is designed to restrict access to procfs files, which
might reveal some sensitive private information like precise keystrokes
timings:
hidepid=1/2 doesn't break monitoring userspace tools. ps, top, pgrep, and
conky gracefully handle EPERM/ENOENT and behave as if the current user is
the only user running processes. pstree shows the process subtree which
contains "pstree" process.
Note: the patch doesn't deal with setuid/setgid issues of keeping
preopened descriptors of procfs files (like
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/7/368). We rely on that the leaked
information like the scheduling counters of setuid apps doesn't threaten
anybody's privacy - only the user started the setuid program may read the
counters.

procfs: introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory
This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains
symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is
"vma->vm_start-vma->vm_end", the target is the file. Opening a symlink
results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one.
For example the ls -l of some arbitrary /proc/<pid>/map_files/
1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped
by particular region. We do this by opening
/proc/$pid/map_files/$address symlink the way we do with file
descriptors.
2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are
shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them.
3. When restoring a set of processes in case two of them has a mapping
shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its
/proc/$pid/map_files/$address file and map it by the 2nd task.
Using /proc/$pid/maps for this is quite inconvenient since it brings
repeatable re-reading and reparsing for this text file which slows down
restore procedure significantly. Also as being pointed in (3) it is a way
easier to use top level shared mapping in children as
/proc/$pid/map_files/$address when needed.

oom, memcg: fix exclusion of memcg threads after they have detached their mm
The oom killer relies on logic that identifies threads that have already
been oom killed when scanning the tasklist and, if found, deferring until
such threads have exited. This is done by checking for any candidate
threads that have the TIF_MEMDIE bit set.
For memcg ooms, candidate threads are first found by calling
task_in_mem_cgroup() since the oom killer should not defer if there's an
oom killed thread in another memcg.
Unfortunately, task_in_mem_cgroup() excludes threads if they have detached
their mm in the process of exiting so TIF_MEMDIE is never detected for
such conditions. This is different for global, mempolicy, and cpuset oom
conditions where a detached mm is only excluded after checking for
TIF_MEMDIE and deferring, if necessary, in select_bad_process().
The fix is to return true if a task has a detached mm but is still in the
memcg or its hierarchy that is currently oom. This will allow the oom
killer to appropriately defer rather than kill unnecessarily or, in the
worst case, panic the machine if nothing else is available to kill.

The global per-zone LRU lists are about to go away on memcg-enabled
kernels, global reclaim must be able to find its pages on the per-memcg
LRU lists.
Since the LRU pages of a zone are distributed over all existing memory
cgroups, a scan target for a zone is complete when all memory cgroups are
scanned for their proportional share of a zone's memory.
The forced scanning of small scan targets from kswapd is limited to zones
marked unreclaimable, otherwise kswapd can quickly overreclaim by
force-scanning the LRU lists of multiple memory cgroups.

mm: memcg: remove optimization of keeping the root_mem_cgroup LRU lists empty
root_mem_cgroup, lacking a configurable limit, was never subject to limit
reclaim, so the pages charged to it could be kept off its LRU lists. They
would be found on the global per-zone LRU lists upon physical memory
pressure and it made sense to avoid uselessly linking them to both lists.
The global per-zone LRU lists are about to go away on memcg-enabled

per-memcg LRU lists. As a result, pages of the root_mem_cgroup must also
be linked to its LRU lists again. This is purely about the LRU list,

Memory cgroup limit reclaim currently picks one memory cgroup out of the
target hierarchy, remembers it as the last scanned child, and reclaims all
zones in it with decreasing priority levels.
The new hierarchy reclaim code will pick memory cgroups from the same
hierarchy concurrently from different zones and priority levels, it
becomes necessary that hierarchy roots not only remember the last scanned
child, but do so for each zone and priority level.
Until now, we reclaimed memcgs like this:
mem = mem_cgroup_iter(root)
for each priority level:
for each zone in zonelist:
reclaim(mem, zone)
But subsequent patches will move the memcg iteration inside the loop over
the zones:
for each priority level:
for each zone in zonelist:
mem = mem_cgroup_iter(root)
reclaim(mem, zone)
And to keep with the original scan order - memcg -> priority -> zone - the
last scanned memcg has to be remembered per zone and per priority level.
Furthermore, global reclaim will be switched to the hierarchy walk as
well. Different from limit reclaim, which can just recheck the limit
after some reclaim progress, its target is to scan all memcgs for the
desired zone pages, proportional to the memcg size, and so reliably
detecting a full hierarchy round-trip will become crucial.
Currently, the code relies on one reclaimer encountering the same memcg
twice, but that is error-prone with concurrent reclaimers. Instead, use a
generation counter that is increased every time the child with the highest
ID has been visited, so that reclaimers can stop when the generation
changes.

Memory control groups are currently bolted onto the side of
traditional memory management in places where better integration would
be preferrable. To reclaim memory, for example, memory control groups
maintain their own LRU list and reclaim strategy aside from the global
per-zone LRU list reclaim. But an extra list head for each existing
page frame is expensive and maintaining it requires additional code.
This patchset disables the global per-zone LRU lists on memory cgroup
configurations and converts all its users to operate on the per-memory
cgroup lists instead. As LRU pages are then exclusively on one list,
this saves two list pointers for each page frame in the system:
page_cgroup array size with 4G physical memory

patched: [ 0.000000] allocated 15728640 bytes of page_cgroup

unaffected:

epoll: limit paths
The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in
both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths.
The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of
epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them
indefinitely. A couple of these sample programs have been previously
posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297.
To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of
the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection
becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links.
This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In
one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all
in kernel time) to .3 seconds.
Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner
by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the
complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different
cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when
the paths are created.
This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that
are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are
actually the sources for wakeup events. I keep a list of these file
descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate
from these 'source file descriptors'. In the current implemetation I
allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of
length 4 and 10 of length 5. Note that it is sufficient to check the
'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no
other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links. This allows
us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not
re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system.
In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that
the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1
epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file
descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of
length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite
reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the
proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to
fail.
In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all
epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset
of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly
traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that
this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown
paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to
add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was
recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop
detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path.
Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed.
Currently, eventpoll.c defines:
/* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */
#define EP_MAX_NESTS 4
This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS
+ 1). However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop
check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added
in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The
newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a
length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together.
Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of
the graph depth.
Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously
mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL. I've also
testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in
performance. I've also created a number of different epoll networks and
tested that they behave as expectded.
I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still
preserving the sane epoll nesting.

checkpatch: improve memset and min/max with cast checking
Improve the checking of arguments to memset and min/max tests.
Move the checking of min/max to statement blocks instead of single line.
Change $Constant to allow any case type 0x initiator and trailing ul
specifier. Add $FuncArg type as any function argument with or without a
cast. Print the whole statement when showing memset or min/max messages.
Improve the memset with 0 as 3rd argument error message.
There are still weaknesses in the $FuncArg and $Constant code as arbitrary
parentheses and negative signs are not generically supported.

checkpatch: correctly track the end of preprocessor commands in context
When looking for a statement we currently run on through preprocessor
commands. This means that a header file with just definitions is parsed
over and over again combining all of the lines from the current line to
the end of file leading to severe performance issues.
Fix up context accumulation to track preprocessor commands and stop when
reaching the end of them. At the same time vastly simplify the #define
handling.
