stack usage: add pid to warning printk in check_stack_usage
In embedded systems, sometimes the same program (busybox) is the cause of
multiple warnings. Outputting the pid with the program name in the
warning printk helps distinguish which instances of a program are using
the stack most.
This is a small patch, but useful.

cred: remove task_is_dead() from __task_cred() validation
commit 8f92054e ("CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner
comment"):
add the following validation condition:
task->exit_state >= 0
to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore
unable to change its own credentials.
OK, but afaics currently this can only help wait_task_zombie() which calls
__task_cred() without rcu lock.
Remove this validation and change wait_task_zombie() to use task_uid()
instead. This means we do rcu_read_lock() only to shut up the lockdep,
but we already do the same in, say, wait_task_stopped().
task_is_dead() should die, task->exit_state != 0 means that this task has
passed exit_notify(), only do_wait-like code paths should use this.
Unfortunately, we can't kill task_is_dead() right now, it has already
acquired buggy users in drivers/staging. The fix already exists.

The system deadlocks (at least since 2.6.10) when
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_EXEC) request triggered
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC) request.
This is because "khelper thread is waiting for the worker thread at
wait_for_completion() in do_fork() since the worker thread was created
with CLONE_VFORK flag" and "the worker thread cannot call complete()
because do_execve() is blocked at UMH_WAIT_PROC request" and "the khelper
thread cannot start processing UMH_WAIT_PROC request because the khelper
thread is waiting for the worker thread at wait_for_completion() in
do_fork()".
In order to avoid deadlock, do not try to call wait_for_completion() in
call_usermodehelper_exec() if the worker thread was created by khelper
thread with CLONE_VFORK flag.
The easiest example to observe this deadlock is to use a corrupted
/sbin/hotplug binary (like shown below).
call_usermodehelper("/tmp/dummy", UMH_WAIT_EXEC) is called from
kobject_uevent_env() in lib/kobject_uevent.c upon loading/unloading a
module. do_execve("/tmp/dummy") triggers a call to
request_module("binfmt-0000") from search_binary_handler() which in turn
calls call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC).
There are various hooks called during do_execve() operation (e.g.
security_bprm_check(), audit_bprm(), "struct
linux_binfmt"->load_binary()). If one of such hooks triggers
UMH_WAIT_EXEC, this deadlock will happen even if /sbin/hotplug is not
corrupted.

kmod: move call_usermodehelper_fns() to .c file and unexport all it's helpers
If we move call_usermodehelper_fns() to kmod.c file and EXPORT_SYMBOL it
we can avoid exporting all it's helper functions:
call_usermodehelper_setup
call_usermodehelper_setfns
call_usermodehelper_exec
And make all of them static to kmod.c
Since the optimizer will see all these as a single call site it will
inline them inside call_usermodehelper_fns(). So we loose the call to
_fns but gain 3 calls to the helpers. (Not that it matters)
kmod: convert two call sites to call_usermodehelper_fns()
Both kernel/sys.c && security/keys/request_key.c where inlining the exact
same code as call_usermodehelper_fns(); So simply convert these sites to
directly use call_usermodehelper_fns().
drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t93.c: don't let get_time() reset M41T93_FLAG_OF
If the rtc reports the time might be invalid due to oscillator failure,
M41T93_FLAG_OF flag must not be reset by get_time() as the read operation
doesn't make the time valid.
Without this patch, only the first get_time() reported an invalid time,
the second get_time() reported a valid time althought the reported time is
probably wrong due to oscillator failure.
Instead of resetting in get_time(), with this patch M41T93_FLAG_OF is
reset in set_time() when a valid time is to be written.

lcd: add callbacks for early fb event blank support
This patchset adds early fb blank feature that a callback of lcd panel
driver is called prior to specific fb driver's one. In the case of
MIPI-DSI based video mode LCD Panel, for lcd power off, the power off
commands should be transferred to lcd panel with display and mipi-dsi
controller enabled because the commands is set to lcd panel at vsync porch
period. and in opposite case, the callback of fb driver should be called
prior to lcd panel driver's one because of same issue. Also if fb_blank
mode is changed to FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN then display controller would be
off(clock disable) but lcd panel would be still on. at this time, you
could see some issue like sparkling on lcd panel because video clock to be
delivered to ldi module of lcd panel was disabled. this issue could
occurs for all lcd panels.
The callback order is as the following:
at fb_blank function of fbmem.c
-> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK)
-> lcd panel driver's early_set_power()
-> info->fbops->fb_blank()
-> spcefic fb driver's fb_blank()
-> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_BLANK)
-> lcd panel driver's set_power()
-> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_R_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) if
info->fops->fb_blank() was failed.
fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_R_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) would be called to revert
the effects of previous FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK call. and note that if
early_set_power() of lcd_ops is NULL then early fb blank callback would be
ignored.
This patch:
Add early_set_power and r_early_set_power callbacks. early_set_power
callback is called prior to fb_blank() of fbmem.c and r_early_set_power
callback is called if fb_blank() was failed to revert the effects of the

Previous code was using optimizations which were developed to work well
even on narrow-word CPUs (by today's standards). But Linux runs only on
32-bit and wider CPUs. We can use that.
First: using 32x32->64 multiply and trivial 32-bit shift, we can correctly
divide by 10 much larger numbers, and thus we can print groups of 9 digits
instead of groups of 5 digits.
Next: there are two algorithms to print larger numbers. One is generic:
divide by 1000000000 and repeatedly print groups of (up to) 9 digits.
It's conceptually simple, but requires an (unsigned long long) / 1000000000 division.
Second algorithm splits 64-bit unsigned long long into 16-bit chunks,
manipulates them cleverly and generates groups of 4 decimal digits. It so
happens that it does NOT require long long division.
If long is > 32 bits, division of 64-bit values is relatively easy, and we
will use the first algorithm. If long long is > 64 bits (strange
architecture with VERY large long long), second algorithm can't be used,
and we again use the first one.
Else (if long is 32 bits and long long is 64 bits) we use second one.
And third: there is a simple optimization which takes fast path not only
for zero as was done before, but for all one-digit numbers.
In all tested cases new code is faster than old one, in many cases by 30%,
in few cases by more than 50% (for example, on x86-32, conversion of 12345678). Code growth is ~0 in 32-bit case and ~130 bytes in 64-bit
case.

GCC sometimes ignores "inline" directives even for small and simple functions.
This supposed to be fixed in gcc 4.7, but it was released only yesterday.

With mem_cgroup_disabled() now explicit, it becomes clear that the
zone_reclaim_stat structure actually belongs in lruvec, per-zone when
memcg is disabled but per-memcg per-zone when it's enabled.
We can delete mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat(), and change
update_page_reclaim_stat() to update just the one set of stats, the one
which get_scan_count() will actually use.

mm/memcg: scanning_global_lru means mem_cgroup_disabled
Although one has to admire the skill with which it has been concealed,
scanning_global_lru(mz) is actually just an interesting way to test
mem_cgroup_disabled(). Too many developer hours have been wasted on
confusing it with global_reclaim(): just use mem_cgroup_disabled().

memcg: fix/change behavior of shared anon at moving task
This patch changes memcg's behavior at task_move().
At task_move(), the kernel scans a task's page table and move the changes
for mapped pages from source cgroup to target cgroup. There has been a
bug at handling shared anonymous pages for a long time.
Before patch:
- The spec says 'shared anonymous pages are not moved.'
- The implementation was 'shared anonymoys pages may be moved'.
If page_mapcount <=2, shared anonymous pages's charge were moved.
After patch:
- The spec says 'all anonymous pages are moved'.
- The implementation is 'all anonymous pages are moved'.
Considering usage of memcg, this will not affect user's experience.
'shared anonymous' pages only exists between a tree of processes which
don't do exec(). Moving one of process without exec() seems not sane.
For example, libcgroup will not be affected by this change. (Anyway, no
one noticed the implementation for a long time...)
Below is a discussion log:
- current spec/implementation are complex
- Now, shared file caches are moved
- It adds unclear check as page_mapcount(). To do correct check,
we should check swap users, etc.
- No one notice this implementation behavior. So, no one get benefit
from the design.
- In general, once task is moved to a cgroup for running, it will not
be moved....
- Finally, we have control knob as memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.
Here is a patch to allow moving shared pages, completely. This makes
memcg simpler and fix current broken code.

mm/vmstat.c: remov debug fs entries on failure of file creation and made extfrag_debug_root dentry local
Removed debug fs files and directory on failure. Since no one using
"extfrag_debug_root" dentry outside of function extfrag_debug_init made it
local to the function.

mm/fork: fix overflow in vma length when copying mmap on clone
The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int,
which is insufficient and hence overflows for very large maps (beyond
16TB). The following program demonstrates this:
The if(mm) check is not required in find_vma, as the kernel code calls
find_vma only when it is absolutely sure that the mm_struct arg to it is
non-NULL.
Remove the if(mm) check and adding the a WARN_ONCE(!mm) for now. This
will serve the purpose of mandating that the execution
context(user-mode/kernel-mode) be known before find_vma is called. Also
fixed 2 checkpatch.pl errors in the declaration of the rb_node and vma_tmp
local variables.
I was browsing through the internet and read a discussion at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/27/342 which discusses removal of the
validation check within find_vma. Since no-one responded, I decided to
send this patch with Andrew's suggestions.

mm: use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc() to allocate array
The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which
could result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and it
is also a bit nicer to read.

in https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/25/107

/sys/devices/system/node/{online,possible} outputs a garbage byte because
print_nodes_state() returns content size + 1. To fix the bug, the patch
changes the use of cpuset_sprintf_cpulist to follow the use at other
places, which is clearer and safer.
hugetlb: migrate memcg info from oldpage to new page during migration
With HugeTLB pages, memcg is uncharged in compound page destructor. Since
we are holding a hugepage reference, we can be sure that old page won't
get uncharged till the last put_page(). On successful migrate, we can
move the memcg information to new page's page_cgroup and mark the old
page's page_cgroup unused.

hugepage_activelist will be used to track currently used HugeTLB pages.
We need to find the in-use HugeTLB pages to support memcg removal. On
memcg removal we update the page's memory cgroup to point to parent
cgroup.
