Generic Process Control Groups
--------------------------
There have recently been various proposals floating around for
resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in
the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy
cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being
able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to
track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control
other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in
different ways.
This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes
into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those
groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an
aggregate.
The intention is that the various resource management and
virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup
clients, with the result that:
- the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised
- it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in
conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of
them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system.
- the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource
management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need
to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their
chances of getting into the kernel
This patch:
Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the
basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state
objects to tasks.

Implement support for file systems larger than 8 TiB.
The reiserfs superblock contains a 16 bit value for counting the number of
bitmap blocks. The rest of the disk format supports file systems up to 2^32
blocks, but the bitmap block limitation artificially limits this to 8 TiB with
a 4KiB block size.
Rather than trust the superblock's 16-bit bitmap block count, we calculate it
dynamically based on the number of blocks in the file system. When an
incorrect value is observed in the superblock, it is zeroed out, ensuring that
older kernels will not be able to mount the file system.
Userspace support has already been implemented and shipped in reiserfsprogs
3.6.20.

The first_zero_hint metadata caching was never actually used, and it's of
dubious optimization quality. This patch removes it.
It doesn't actually shrink the size of the reiserfs_bitmap_info struct, since
that doesn't work with block sizes larger than 8K. There was a big fixme in
there, and with all the work lately in allowing block size > page size, I
might as well kill the fixme as well.

Do a quick signedness check for block numbers. There are a number of places
where signed integers are used for block numbers, which limits the usable file
system size to 8 TiB. The disk format, excepting a problem which will be
fixed in the following patch, supports file systems up to 16 TiB in size.
This patch cleans up those sites so that we can enable the full usable size.

The jbd-debug file used to be located in /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug, but
create_proc_entry() does not do lookups on file names that are more that
one directory deep. This causes the entry creation to fail and hence, no
proc file is created.
Instead of fixing this on procfs might as well move the jbd2-debug file to
debugfs which would be the preferred location for this kind of tunable.
The new location is now /sys/kernel/debug/jbd/jbd-debug.

Some blind people use a kernel engine called Speakup which uses hardware
synthesis to speak what gets displayed on the screen. They use the
PC keyboard to control this engine (start/stop, accelerate, ...) and
also need to get keyboard feedback (to make sure to know what they are
typing, the caps lock status, etc.)
Up to now, the way it was done was very ugly. Below is a patch to add a
notifier list for permitting a far better implementation, see ChangeLog
above for details.
You may wonder why this can't be done at the input layer. The problem
is that what people want to monitor is the console keyboard, i.e. all
input keyboards that got attached to the console, and with the currently
active keymap (i.e. keysyms, not only keycodes).
This adds a keyboard notifier that such modules can use to get the keyboard
events and possibly eat them, at several stages:
- keycodes: even before translation into keysym.
- unbound keycodes: when no keysym is bound.
- unicode: when the keycode would get translated into a unicode character.
- keysym: when the keycode would get translated into a keysym.
- post_keysym: after the keysym got interpreted, so as to see the result
(caps lock, etc.)
This also provides access to k_handler so as to permit simulation of
keypresses.

There are cases when the filesystem will be passed the buffer from a single
read or write call, namely:
1) in 'direct-io' mode (not O_DIRECT), read/write requests don't go
through the page cache, but go directly to the userspace fs
2) currently buffered writes are done with single page requests, but
if Nick's ->perform_write() patch goes it, it will be possible to
do larger write requests. But only if the original write() was
also bigger than a page.
In these cases the filesystem might want to give a hint to the app
about the optimal I/O size.
Allow the userspace filesystem to supply a blksize value to be returned by
stat() and friends. If the field is zero, it defaults to the old
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE value.

This patch set supports large block size(>4k, <=64k) in ext3 just enlarging
the block size limit. But it is NOT possible to have 64kB blocksize on
ext3 without some changes to the directory handling code. The reason is
that an empty 64kB directory block would have a rec_len == (__u16)2^16 ==
0, and this would cause an error to be hit in the filesystem. The proposed
solution is treat 64k rec_len with a an impossible value like rec_len =
0xffff to handle this.
The Patch-set consists of the following 2 patches.
[1/2] ext3: enlarge blocksize
- Allow blocksize up to pagesize
[2/2] ext3: fix rec_len overflow
- prevent rec_len from overflow with 64KB blocksize
Now on 64k page ppc64 box runs with this patch set we could create a 64k
block size ext3, and able to handle empty directory block.

The return of the present "do {} while" based stub definition of

asymmetric w.r.t. the real HOTPLUG_CPU=y implementation that is
int-returning. So let us redefine this to be consistent with the full

We cannot define these as static inline functions due to an existing GCC

'0' for the register_hotcpu_notifier case and void for
unregister_hotcpu_notifier).

This adds items to the taststats struct to account for user and system
time based on scaling the CPU frequency and instruction issue rates.
Adds account_(user|system)_time_scaled callbacks which architectures
can use to account for time using this mechanism.

The work done in bottom half doesn't cost much cpu time (e.g. tty_hangup
itself schedules its own bottom half), it's possible to do the work in isr
directly and save hence some .text.

The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1,
can change the capabilities of another process, p2. This is not the
meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this
implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities,
there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on
another.
Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the
implementation of CAP_SETPCAP.
The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no
process can set the capabilities of another process.
The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution
rules:
pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec)
pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI)
pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0
at exec() time. As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can
have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI
capability set.
The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch)
is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process
- to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules
are applied.
Here is how it works:
Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI.
Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where
(pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0.
That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to
be present in pP.
The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond
the above:
if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) {
pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0 */
}
This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via
pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use
by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities
are not useful to or needed by the login program itself.
One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the
capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then
only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run
it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap)
would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this
capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

After going through the kernels sysctl tables several times it has become
clear that code review and testing is just not effective in prevent
problematic sysctl tables from being used in the stable kernel. I certainly
can't seem to fix the problems as fast as they are introduced.
Therefore this patch adds sysctl_check_table which is called when a sysctl
table is registered and checks to see if we have a problematic sysctl table.
The biggest part of the code is the table of valid binary sysctl entries, but
since we have frozen our set of binary sysctls this table should not need to
change, and it makes it much easier to detect when someone unintentionally
adds a new binary sysctl value.
As best as I can determine all of the several hundred errors spewed on boot up
now are legitimate.

Grumble. These numbers should have been in sysctl.h from the beginning if we
ever expected anyone to use them. Oh well put them there now so we can find
them and make maintenance easier.
