Add a new subsystem to limit the number of running tasks, similar to the
NR_PROC rlimit but in the scope of a cgroup.
The user can set an upper bound limit that is checked every time a task
forks in a cgroup or is moved into a cgroup with that subsystem binded.
The primary goal is to protect against forkbombs that explode inside a
container. The traditional NR_PROC rlimit is not efficient in that case
because if we run containers in parallel under the same user, one of these
could starve all the others by spawning a high number of tasks close to
the user wide limit.
This is a prevention against forkbombs, so it's not deemed to cure the
effects of a forkbomb when the system is in a state where it's not
responsive. It's aimed at preventing from ever reaching that state and
stop the spreading of tasks early. While defining the limit on the
allowed number of tasks, it's up to the user to find the right balance
between the resource its containers may need and what it can afford to
provide.
As it's totally dissociated from the rlimit NR_PROC, both can be
complementary: the cgroup task counter can set an upper bound per
container and the rlmit can be an upper bound on the overall set of
containers.
Also this subsystem can be used to kill all the tasks in a cgroup without
races against concurrent forks, by setting the limit of tasks to 0, any
further forks can be rejected. This is a good way to kill a forkbomb in a
container, or simply kill any container without the need to retry an
unbound number of times.

cgroups: ability to stop res charge propagation on bounded ancestor
Moving a task from a cgroup to another may require to substract its
resource charge from the old cgroup and add it to the new one.
For this to happen, the uncharge/charge propagation can just stop when we
reach the common ancestor for the two cgroups. Further the performance
reasons, we also want to avoid to temporarily overload the common
ancestors with a non-accurate resource counter usage if we charge first
the new cgroup and uncharge the old one thereafter. This is going to be a
requirement for the coming max number of task subsystem.
To solve this, provide a pair of new API that can charge/uncharge a
resource counter until we reach a given ancestor.

cgroup/kmemleak: Annotate alloc_page() for cgroup allocations
When the cgroup base was allocated with kmalloc, it was necessary to
annotate the variable with kmemleak_not_leak(). But because it has
recently been changed to be allocated with alloc_page() (which skips
kmemleak checks) causes a warning on boot up.
I was triggering this output:

After a bit of debugging I tracked the object 0xf840000 (and others) down
to the cgroup code. The change from allocating base with kmalloc to
alloc_page() has the base not calling kmemleak_alloc() which adds the
pointer to the object_tree_root, but kmemleak_not_leak() adds it to the
crt_early_log[] table. On kmemleak_init(), the entry is found in the
early_log[] but not the object_tree_root, and this error message is
displayed.
If alloc_page() fails then it defaults back to vmalloc() which still uses
the kmemleak_alloc() which makes us still need the kmemleak_not_leak()
call. The solution is to call the kmemleak_alloc() directly if the
alloc_page() succeeds.

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.

The parameters CRC_LE_BITS and CRC_BE_BITS determine the number of bits in
the input array that are processed during each step. Generally the more
bits the faster the algorithm is but the more table data required.
Using an x86_64 Opteron machine running at 2100MHz the following table was
collected with a pre-warmed cache by computing the crc 1000 times on a
buffer of 4096 bytes.
BITS is the value of CRC_LE_BITS or CRC_BE_BITS. The old
default was 8 which actually selected the 32 bit algorithm. In
this version the value 8 is used to select the standard
8 bit algorithm and two new values: 32 and 64 are introduced
to select the slice by 4 and slice by 8 algorithms respectively.
Where Size is the size of crc32.o's text segment which includes
code and table data when both LE and BE versions are set to BITS.
The current version of crc32.c by default uses the slice by 4 algorithm
which requires about 2.8 cycles per byte. The slice by 8 algorithm is

leds: Renesas TPU LED driver
Add V2 of the LED driver for a single timer channel for the TPU hardware
block commonly found in Renesas SoCs.
The driver has been written with optimal Power Management in mind, so to
save power the LED is driven as a regular GPIO pin in case of maximum
brightness and power off which allows the TPU hardware to be idle and
which in turn allows the clocks to be stopped and the power domain to be
turned off transparently.
Any other brightness level requires use of the TPU hardware in PWM mode.
TPU hardware device clocks and power are managed through Runtime PM.
System suspend and resume is known to be working - during suspend the LED
is set to off by the generic LED code.
The TPU hardware timer is equipeed with a 16-bit counter together with an
up-to-divide-by-64 prescaler which makes the hardware suitable for
brightness control. Hardware blink is unsupported.
The LED PWM waveform has been verified with a Fluke 123 Scope meter on a
sh7372 Mackerel board. Tested with experimental sh7372 A3SP power domain
patches. Platform device bind/unbind tested ok.
V2 has been tested on the DS2 LED of the sh73a0-based AG5EVM.

backlight: fix broken regulator API usage in l4f00242t03
The regulator support in the l4f00242t03 is very non-idiomatic. Rather
than requesting the regulators based on the device name and the supply
names used by the device the driver requires boards to pass system
specific supply names around through platform data. The driver also
conditionally requests the regulators based on this platform data, adding
unneeded conditional code to the driver.
Fix this by removing the platform data and converting to the standard
idiom, also updating all in tree users of the driver. As no datasheet
appears to be available for the LCD I'm guessing the names for the
supplies based on the existing users and I've no ability to do anything
more than compile test.
The use of regulator_set_voltage() in the driver is also problematic,
since fixed voltages are required the expectation would be that the
voltages would be fixed in the constraints set by the machines rather than
manually configured by the driver, but is less problematic.

poll: add poll_requested_events() function
In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different
things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example
is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for
POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead
only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen
in the video4linux subsystem.
Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't
provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it
has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one
or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL
poll_table_struct pointer.
The solution is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table_struct once
poll() matches the events, not the poll_table_struct pointer itself. That
way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events
inline.
The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it
internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In
that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events).
Since eventpoll always leaves the key field at ~0 instead of using the
requested events mask, that source was changed as well to properly fill in
the key field.

With the high frequency of printks that dynamic debug can produce this is
not desirable.
So make dynamic_emit_prefix() fill a char buf[64] instead of doing a
printk directly. If we enable printing out of function, module, line, or
pid info, they are placed in this 64 byte buffer. In my testing 64 bytes
was enough size to fulfill all requests. Even if it's not, we can match
up the printk itself to see where it's from, so to me this is no big deal.

hpet: factor timer allocate from open
The current implementation of the /dev/hpet driver couples opening the
device with allocating one of the (scarce) timers (aka comparators). This
is a limitation in that the main counter may be valuable to applications
seeking a high-resolution timer who have no use for the interrupt
generating functionality of the comparators.
This patch alters the open semantics so that when the device is opened, no
timer is allocated. Operations that depend on a timer being in context
implicitly attempt allocating a timer, to maintain backward compatibility.
There is also an IOCTL (HPET_ALLOC_TIMER _IO) added so that the
allocation may be done explicitly. (I prefer the explicit open then
allocate pattern but don't know how practical it would be to require all
existing code to be changed.)
/dev/hpet is accessed via mmap(). This is the only interface of /dev/hpet
that is actually used in practice.

mm: disable user interface to manually rescue unevictable pages
At one point, anonymous pages were supposed to go on the unevictable list
when no swap space was configured, and the idea was to manually rescue
those pages after adding swap and making them evictable again. But
nowadays, swap-backed pages on the anon LRU list are not scanned without
available swap space anyway, so there is no point in moving them to a
separate list anymore.
The manual rescue could also be used in case pages were stranded on the
unevictable list due to race conditions. But the code has been around for
a while now and newly discovered bugs should be properly reported and
dealt with instead of relying on such a manual fixup.
In addition to the lack of a usecase, the sysfs interface to rescue pages
from a specific NUMA node has been broken since its introduction, so it's
unlikely that anybody ever relied on that.
This patch removes the functionality behind the sysctl and the
node-interface and emits a one-time warning when somebody tries to access
either of them.

value stored in res after successful conversion via strict_strtoul. In
both cases, we do not perform the scanning of this node's zones.

mm: compaction: make compact_zone_order() static
There's no compact_zone_order() user outside file scope, so make it static.

HWPOISON: convert pr_debug()s to pr_info()s
Commit fb46e73520940b ("HWPOISON: Convert pr_debugs to pr_info) authored
by Andi Kleen converted a number of pr_debug()s to pr_info()s.
About the same time additional code with pr_debug()s was added by two
other commits 8c6c2ecb4466 ("HWPOSION, hugetlb: recover from free hugepage
error when !MF_COUNT_INCREASED") and d950b95882f3d ("HWPOISON, hugetlb:
soft offlining for hugepage"). And these pr_debug()s failed to get
converted to pr_info()s.
This patch converts them as well. And does some minor related whitespace
cleanup.

fs/buffer.c: add device information for error output in __find_get_block_slow()
On the ext4 mailing list[1], we got some report about errors in
__find_get_block_slow(), but the information is very limited.
If the device information is given, we can know the name of the sick
volume. Futhermore, we can get the corresponding status of that
block(group, inode block etc) by analyzing the disk layout.
