Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker:
"Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
need it.
These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously. We now have
things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is
remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.
Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed."
Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups
(including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull).
* tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

Pull <linux/bug.h> cleanup from Paul Gortmaker:
"The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one
<linux/bug.h> file. Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code
in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for BUILD_BUG in
linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in
kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time. As a band-aid, kernel.h
was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions. Here
is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
CC lib/string.o
lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
$
$ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
#include <linux/bug.h>
$
We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh -
very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
implicit presence of BUG code.
2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence
relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2. But
to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build
failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem
areas in advance.

* tag 'bug-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:

Pull sysctl updates from Eric Biederman:
- Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity.
Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and
are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing
network devices.
sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call
and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully
this means the code is now approachable.
Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until
something was found that was usable.
- The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation
is fixed.
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl: (36 commits)
sysctl: protect poll() in entries that may go away
sysctl: Don't call sysctl_follow_link unless we are a link.
sysctl: Comments to make the code clearer.
sysctl: Correct error return from get_subdir
sysctl: An easier to read version of find_subdir
sysctl: fix memset parameters in setup_sysctl_set()
sysctl: remove an unused variable
sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users
sysctl: Index sysctl directories with rbtrees.
sysctl: Make the header lists per directory.
sysctl: Move sysctl_check_dups into insert_header
sysctl: Modify __register_sysctl_paths to take a set instead of a root and an nsproxy
sysctl: Replace root_list with links between sysctl_table_sets.
sysctl: Add sysctl_print_dir and use it in get_subdir
sysctl: Stop requiring explicit management of sysctl directories
sysctl: Add a root pointer to ctl_table_set
sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_readdir in terms of first_entry and next_entry
sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_lookup introducing find_entry and lookup_entry.
sysctl: Normalize the root_table data structure.

Protect code accessing ctl_table by grabbing the header with grab_header()
and after releasing with sysctl_head_finish(). This is needed if poll()
is called in entries created by modules: currently only hostname and
domainname support poll(), but this bug may be triggered when/if modules
use it and if user called poll() in a file that doesn't support it.
Dave Jones reported the following when using a syscall fuzzer while
hibernating/resuming:

anymore.

The plan is to convert all callers of register_sysctl_table
and register_sysctl_paths to register_sysctl. The interface
to register_sysctl is enough nicer this should make the callers
a bit more readable. Additionally after the conversion the
230 lines of backwards compatibility can be removed.

One of the most important jobs of sysctl is to export network stack
tunables. Several of those tunables are per network device. In
several instances people are running with 1000+ network devices in
there network stacks, which makes the simple per directory linked list
in sysctl a scaling bottleneck. Replace O(N^2) sysctl insertion and
lookup times with O(NlogN) by using an rbtree to index the sysctl
directories.

make-dummies 0 9999 -> 0.75s
rmmod dummy -> 0.44s

At 10,000 dummy devices the bottleneck becomes the time to add and
remove the files under /proc/sys/net/dev_snmp6. I have commented
out the code that adds and removes files under /proc/sys/net/dev_snmp6
and taken measurments of creating and destroying 100,000 dummies to
verify the sysctl continues to scale.

Simplify the callers of insert_header by removing explicit calls to check
for duplicates and instead have insert_header do the work.
This makes the code slightly more maintainable by enabling changes to
data structures where the insertion of new entries without duplicate
suppression is not possible.
There is not always a convenient path string where insert_header
is called so modify sysctl_check_dups to use sysctl_print_dir
when printing the full path when a duplicate is discovered.

Piecing together directories by looking first in one directory
tree, than in another directory tree and finally in a third
directory tree makes it hard to verify that some directory
entries are not multiply defined and makes it hard to create
efficient implementations the sysctl filesystem.
Replace the sysctl wide list of roots with autogenerated
links from the core sysctl directory tree to the other
sysctl directory trees.
This simplifies sysctl directory reading and lookups as now
only entries in a single sysctl directory tree need to be
considered.
Benchmark before:
make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.44s
rmmod dummy -> 0.065s

The slowdown is caused by the lookups used in insert_headers
and put_links to see if we need to add links or remove links.

Simplify the code and the sysctl semantics by autogenerating
sysctl directories when a sysctl table is registered that needs
the directories and autodeleting the directories when there are
no more sysctl tables registered that need them.
Autogenerating directories keeps sysctl tables from depending
on each other, removing all of the arcane register/unregister
ordering constraints and makes it impossible to get the order
wrong when reigsering and unregistering sysctl tables.
Autogenerating directories yields one unique entity that dentries
can point to, retaining the current effective use of the dcache.
Add struct ctl_dir as the type of these new autogenerated
directories.
The attached_by and attached_to fields in ctl_table_header are
removed as they are no longer needed.
The child field in ctl_table is no longer needed by the core of
the sysctl code. ctl_table.child can be removed once all of the
existing users have been updated.

Replace sysctl_head_next with first_entry and next_entry. These new
iterators operate at the level of sysctl table entries and filter

Utilizing two specialized functions instead of a single function removes
conditionals for handling awkward special cases that only come up
at the beginning of iteration, making the iterators easier to read

- Stop validating subdirectories now that we only register leaf tables
- Cleanup and improve the duplicate filename check.
* Run the duplicate filename check under the sysctl_lock to guarantee
we never add duplicate names.
* Reduce the duplicate filename check to nearly O(M*N) where M is the
number of entries in tthe table we are registering and N is the
number of entries in the directory before we got there.
- Move the duplicate filename check into it's own function and call
it directtly from __register_sysctl_table
- Kill the config option as the sanity checks are now cheap enough
the config option is unnecessary. The original reason for the config
option was because we had a huge table used to verify the proc filename
to binary sysctl mapping. That table has now evolved into the binary_sysctl
translation layer and is no longer part of the sysctl_check code.
- Tighten up the permission checks. Guarnateeing that files only have read
or write permissions.
- Removed redudant check for parents having a procname as now everything has
a procname.
- Generalize the backtrace logic so that we print a backtrace from
any failure of __register_sysctl_table that was not caused by
a memmory allocation failure. The backtrace allows us to track
down who erroneously registered a sysctl table.

Split the registration of a complex ctl_table array which may have
arbitrary numbers of directories (->child != NULL) and tables of files
into a series of simpler registrations that only register tables of files.
Graphically:
register('dir', { + file-a
+ file-b
+ subdir1
+ file-c
+ subdir2
+ file-d
+ file-e })
is transformed into:
wrapper->subheaders[0] = register('dir', {file1-a, file1-b})
wrapper->subheaders[1] = register('dir/subdir1', {file-c})
wrapper->subheaders[2] = register('dir/subdir2', {file-d, file-e})
return wrapper
This guarantees that __register_sysctl_table will only see a simple
ctl_table array with all entries having (->child == NULL).
Care was taken to pass the original simple ctl_table arrays to
__register_sysctl_table whenever possible.
This change is derived from a similar patch written
by Lucrian Grijincu.

For any component of table passed to __register_sysctl_paths
that actually serves as a path, add that to the cstring path
that is passed to __register_sysctl_table.
The result is that for most calls to __register_sysctl_paths
we only pass a table to __register_sysctl_table that contains
no child directories.

Make __register_sysctl_table the core sysctl registration operation and
make it take a char * string as path.
Now that binary paths have been banished into the real of backwards
compatibility in kernel/binary_sysctl.c where they can be safely
ignored there is no longer a need to use struct ctl_path to represent
path names when registering ctl_tables.
Start the transition to using normal char * strings to represent
pathnames when registering sysctl tables. Normal strings are easier
to deal with both in the internal sysctl implementation and for
programmers registering sysctl tables.
__register_sysctl_paths is turned into a backwards compatibility wrapper
that converts a ctl_path array into a normal char * string.

Creating local copies of directory names is a good idea for
two reasons.
- The dynamic names used by callers must be copied into new
strings by the callers today to ensure the strings do not
change between register and unregister of the sysctl table.
- Sysctl directories have a potentially different lifetime
than the time between register and unregister of any
particular sysctl table.

I goofed when I made sysctl directories have nlink == 0.
nlink == 0 means the directory has been deleted.
nlink == 1 meands a directory does not count subdirectories.

Move the core sysctl code from kernel/sysctl.c and kernel/sysctl_check.c
into fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c.
Currently sysctl maintenance is hampered by the sysctl implementation
being split across 3 files with artificial layering between them.
Consolidate the entire sysctl implementation into 1 file so that
it is easier to see what is going on and hopefully allowing for
simpler maintenance.
For functions that are now only used in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c remove
their declarations from sysctl.h and make them static in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c

Simplify the code by treating the base sysctl table like any other
sysctl table and register it with register_sysctl_table.
To ensure this table is registered early enough to avoid problems
call sysctl_init from proc_sys_init.
Rename sysctl_net.c:sysctl_init() to net_sysctl_init() to avoid
name conflicts now that kernel/sysctl.c:sysctl_init() is no longer
static.

Remove checks for conditions that will never happen. If procname is NULL
the loop would already had bailed out, so there's no need to check it

At the same time this also compacts the function find_in_table() by

The namespace cleanup path leaks a dentry which holds a reference count
on a network namespace. Keeping that network namespace from being freed
when the last user goes away. Leaving things like vlan devices in the
leaked network namespace.
If you use ip netns add for much real work this problem becomes apparent
pretty quickly. It light testing the problem hides because frequently
you simply don't notice the leak.
Use d_set_d_op() so that DCACHE_OP_* flags are set correctly.
This issue exists back to 3.0.

Process accounting applications as top, ps visit some files under
/proc/<pid>. With seq_put_decimal_ull(), we can optimize /proc/<pid>/stat
and /proc/<pid>/statm files.
This patch adds
- seq_put_decimal_ll() for signed values.
- allow delimiter == 0.
- convert seq_printf() to seq_put_decimal_ull/ll in /proc/stat, statm.
Test result on a system with 2000+ procs.
Before patch:
[kamezawa@bluextal test]$ top -b -n 1 | wc -l
2223
[kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time top -b -n 1 > /dev/null
real 0m0.675s
user 0m0.044s
sys 0m0.121s
[kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ps -elf > /dev/null
real 0m0.236s
user 0m0.056s
sys 0m0.176s
After patch:
kamezawa@bluextal ~]$ time top -b -n 1 > /dev/null
real 0m0.657s
user 0m0.052s
sys 0m0.100s
[kamezawa@bluextal ~]$ time ps -elf > /dev/null
real 0m0.198s
user 0m0.050s
sys 0m0.145s
Considering top, ps tend to scan /proc periodically, this will reduce cpu
consumption by top/ps to some extent.

On a typical 16 cpus machine, "cat /proc/stat" gives more than 4096 bytes,
and is slow :
# strace -T -o /tmp/STRACE cat /proc/stat | wc -c
5826
# grep "cpu " /tmp/STRACE
read(0, "cpu 1949310 19 2144714 12117253"..., 32768) = 5826 <0.001504>
Thats partly because show_stat() must be called twice since initial
buffer size is too small (4096 bytes for less than 32 possible cpus)
Fix this by :
1) Taking into account nr_irqs in the initial buffer sizing.
2) Using ksize() to allow better filling of initial buffer.

Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit
for 'VM_NODUMP' flag. The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag:
MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request
memory regions which should not dump core.
The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there
that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core. This flag
might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely
make sure that parts of memory are not dumped. To clear the flag use:
MADV_DODUMP.

The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).
Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.
The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.
The qemu code which implements this features is at:
http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.
I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.
This patch:
The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.
