kconfig: add merge_config.sh script
After noticing almost every distro has their own method of managing config
fragments, I went looking at some best practices, and wanted to try to
consolidate some of the different approaches so this fairly simple
infrastructure can be shared (and new distros/build systems don't have to
implement yet another config fragment merge script).
This script is most influenced by the Windriver tools used in the Yocto
Project, reusing some portions found there.
This script merges multiple config fragments, warning on any overridden
values. It then sets any unspecified values to their default, then
finally checks to make sure no specified value was dropped due to
unsatisfied dependencies.
I'm sure this implementation won't work for everyone, and I expect it will
need to evolve to adapt for various use cases. But I think its a
reasonable starting point.

In commit f8924e770e04 ("x86: unify mp_bus_info"), the 32-bit and 64-bit
versions of MP_bus_info were rearranged to match each other better.
Unfortunately it introduced a regression: prior to that change we used to
always set the mp_bus_not_pci bit, then clear it if we found a PCI bus.
After it, we set mp_bus_not_pci for ISA buses, clear it for PCI buses, and
leave it alone otherwise.
In the cases of ISA and PCI, there's not much difference. But ISA is not
the only non-PCI bus, so it's better to always set mp_bus_not_pci and
clear it only for PCI.
Without this change, Dan's Dell PowerEdge 4200 panics on boot with a log
indicating interrupt routing trouble unless the "noapic" option is
supplied. With this change, the machine boots reliably without "noapic".

The problem is that in copy_page_range() we turn lazy mode on, and then in
swap_entry_free() we call swap_count_continued() which ends up in:
map = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0) + offset;
and then later we touch *map.
Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually set up the
PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done synchronously and ends up
trying to dereference a page that has not been set.
Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn(), it uses 'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and
doing the same in kmap_atomic_prot() and __kunmap_atomic() makes the problem
go away.
Interestingly, commit b8bcfe997e4615 ("x86/paravirt: remove lazy mode in

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c: fix Oops on container destroy
Problem:
A repeatable Oops can be caused if a container with networking
unshared is destroyed when it has nf_conntrack entries yet to expire.
A copy of the oops follows below. A perl program generating the oops
repeatably is attached inline below.
Analysis:
The oops is called from cleanup_net when the namespace is
destroyed. conntrack iterates through outstanding events and calls
death_by_timeout on each of them, which in turn produces a call to
ctnetlink_conntrack_event. This calls nf_netlink_has_listeners, which
oopses because net->nfnl is NULL.
The perl program generates the container through fork() then
clone(NS_NEWNET). I does not explicitly set up netlink
explicitly set up netlink, but I presume it was set up else net->nfnl
would have been NULL earlier (i.e. when an earlier connection
timed out). This would thus suggest that net->nfnl is made NULL
during the destruction of the container, which I think is done by
nfnetlink_net_exit_batch.
I can see that the various subsystems are deinitialised in the opposite
order to which the relevant register_pernet_subsys calls are called,
and both nf_conntrack and nfnetlink_net_ops register their relevant
subsystems. If nfnetlink_net_ops registered later than nfconntrack,
then its exit routine would have been called first, which would cause
the oops described. I am not sure there is anything to prevent this
happening in a container environment.
Whilst there's perhaps a more complex problem revolving around ordering
of subsystem deinit, it seems to me that missing a netlink event on a
container that is dying is not a disaster. An early check for net->nfnl
being non-NULL in ctnetlink_conntrack_event appears to fix this. There
may remain a potential race condition if it becomes NULL immediately
after being checked (I am not sure any lock is held at this point or
how synchronisation for subsystem deinitialization works).
Patch:
The patch attached should apply on everything from 2.6.26 (if not before)
onwards; it appears to be a problem on all kernels. This was taken against
Ubuntu-3.0.0-11.17 which is very close to 3.0.4. I have torture-tested it
with the above perl script for 15 minutes or so; the perl script hung the
machine within 20 seconds without this patch.
Applicability:
If this is the right solution, it should be applied to all stable kernels
as well as head. Apart from the minor overhead of checking one variable
against NULL, it can never 'do the wrong thing', because if net->nfnl
is NULL, an oops will inevitably result. Therefore, checking is a reasonable
thing to do unless it can be proven than net->nfnl will never be NULL.
Check net->nfnl for NULL in ctnetlink_conntrack_event to avoid Oops on
container destroy

cpusets: stall when updating mems_allowed for mempolicy or disjoint nodemask
c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing
cpuset's mems") adds get_mems_allowed() to prevent the set of allowed
nodes from changing for a thread. This causes any update to a set of
allowed nodes to stall until put_mems_allowed() is called.
This stall is unncessary, however, if at least one node remains unchanged
in the update to the set of allowed nodes. This was addressed by 89e8a244b97e ("cpusets: avoid looping when storing to mems_allowed if one
node remains set"), but it's still possible that an empty nodemask may be
read from a mempolicy because the old nodemask may be remapped to the new
nodemask during rebind. To prevent this, only avoid the stall if there is
no mempolicy for the thread being changed.
This is a temporary solution until all reads from mempolicy nodemasks can
be guaranteed to not be empty without the get_mems_allowed()
synchronization.
Also moves the check for nodemask intersection inside task_lock() so that
tsk->mems_allowed cannot change. This ensures that nothing can set this
tsk's mems_allowed out from under us and also protects tsk->mempolicy.
