This avoids warnings from missing __rcu annotations
in the rculist implementation, making it possible to
use the same lists in both RCU and non-RCU cases.
We can add rculist annotations later, together with
lockdep support for rculist, which is missing as well,
but that may involve changing all the users.

This commit provides definitions for the __rcu annotation defined earlier.
This annotation permits sparse to check for correct use of RCU-protected
pointers. If a pointer that is annotated with __rcu is accessed
directly (as opposed to via rcu_dereference(), rcu_assign_pointer(),
or one of their variants), sparse can be made to complain. To enable
such complaints, use the new default-disabled CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER
kernel configuration option. Please note that these sparse complaints are
intended to be a debugging aid, -not- a code-style-enforcement mechanism.
There are special rcu_dereference_protected() and rcu_access_pointer()
accessors for use when RCU read-side protection is not required, for
example, when no other CPU has access to the data structure in question
or while the current CPU hold the update-side lock.
This patch also updates a number of docbook comments that were showing
their age.

Now that software events don't have interrupt disabled anymore in
the event path, callchains can nest on any context. So seperating
nmi and others contexts in two buffers has become racy.
Fix this by providing one buffer per nesting level. Given the size
of the callchain entries (2040 bytes * 4), we now need to allocate
them dynamically.
v2: Fixed put_callchain_entry call after recursion.
Fix the type of the recursion, it must be an array.
v3: Use a manual pr cpu allocation (temporary solution until NMIs
can safely access vmalloc'ed memory).
Do a better separation between callchain reference tracking and
allocation. Make the "put" path lockless for non-release cases.
v4: Protect the callchain buffers with rcu.
v5: Do the cpu buffers allocations node affine.

- Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch

fs: fs_struct rwlock to spinlock
struct fs_struct.lock is an rwlock with the read-side used to protect root and
pwd members while taking references to them. Taking a reference to a path
typically requires just 2 atomic ops, so the critical section is very small.
Parallel read-side operations would have cacheline contention on the lock, the
dentry, and the vfsmount cachelines, so the rwlock is unlikely to ever give a
real parallelism increase.
Replace it with a spinlock to avoid one or two atomic operations in typical
path lookup fastpath.

This is fixed by holding the RCU read lock in wait_task_continued() to ensure
that the task's current credentials aren't destroyed between us reading the
cred pointer and us reading the UID from those credentials.
Furthermore, protect wait_task_stopped() in the same way.
We don't need to keep holding the RCU read lock once we've read the UID from
the credentials as holding the RCU read lock doesn't stop the target task from
changing its creds under us - so the credentials may be outdated immediately
after we've read the pointer, lock or no lock.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

Two new events were added that broke the current format output.
Both from the SCSI system: scsi_dispatch_cmd_done and scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout
The reason is that their print_fmt exceeded a page size. Since the output
of the format used simple_read_from_buffer and trace_seq, it was limited
to a page size in output.
This patch converts the printing of the format of an event into seq_file,
which allows greater than a page size to be shown.
I diffed all event formats comparing the output with and without this
patch. All matched except for the above two, which showed just:
FORMAT TOO BIG

The tv_nsec is a long and when added to the shifted interval it can wrap
and become negative which later causes looping problems in the
getrawmonotonic(). The edge case occurs when the system has slept for
a short period of time of ~2 seconds.
A trace printk of the values in this patch illustrate the problem:
ftrace time stamp: log
43.716079: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec d687faa
43.718513: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec da588bd
43.722161: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 3d0913 tv_nsec de291d0
46.349925: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 7a122600 tv_nsec e1f9ae3
46.349930: logarithmic_accumulation: raw: 1e848980 tv_nsec 8831c0e3
The kernel starts looping at 46.349925 in the getrawmonotonic() due to
the negative value from adding the raw value to tv_nsec.
A simple solution is to accumulate into a u64, and then normalize it
to a timespec_t.

To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the

That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't
blink at all on that situation.
This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and
keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode.

alloc_pidmap() calculates max_scan so that if the initial offset != 0 we
inspect the first map->page twice. This is correct, we want to find the
unused bits < offset in this bitmap block. Add the comment.
But it doesn't make any sense to stop the find_next_offset() loop when we
are looking into this map->page for the second time. We have already
already checked the bits >= offset during the first attempt, it is fine to
do this again, no matter if we succeed this time or not.

exit_ptrace() takes tasklist_lock unconditionally. We need this lock to
avoid the race with ptrace_traceme(), it acts as a barrier.
Change its caller, forget_original_parent(), to call exit_ptrace() under
tasklist_lock. Change exit_ptrace() to drop and reacquire this lock if
needed.
This allows us to add the fastpath list_empty(ptraced) check. In the
likely no-tracees case exit_ptrace() just returns and we avoid the lock()
+ unlock() sequence.

There may be cases (most obviously, sysfs-writable charp parameters) where
a module needs to prevent sysfs access to parameters.
Rather than express this in terms of a big lock, the functions are
expressed in terms of what they protect against. This is clearer, esp.
if the implementation changes to a module-level or even param-level lock.
