kernel/sys.c: get rid of expensive divides in groups_sort()

groups_sort() can be quite long if user loads a large gid table.

This is because GROUP_AT(group_info, some_integer) uses an integer divide.
So having to do XXX thousand divides during one syscall can lead to very
high latencies.  (NGROUPS_MAX=65536)

In the past (25 Mar 2006), an analog problem was found in groups_search()
(commit d74beb9f33a5f16d2965f11b275e401f225c949d ) and at that time I
changed some variables to unsigned int.

I believe that a more generic fix is to make sure NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK is
unsigned.

quota: improve inode list scanning in add_dquot_ref()

We restarted scan of sb->s_inodes list whenever we had to drop inode_lock
in add_dquot_ref().  This leads to overall quadratic running time and thus
add_dquot_ref() can take several minutes when called on a life filesystem.
We fix the problem by using the fact that inode cannot be removed from
s_inodes list while we hold a reference to it and thus we can safely
restart the scan if we don't drop the reference.  Here we use the fact that
inodes freshly added to s_inodes list are already guaranteed to have quotas
properly initialized and the ordering of inodes on s_inodes list does not
change so we cannot skip any inode.

Thanks goes to Nick <gentuu@gmail.com> for analyzing the problem and
testing the fix.

kallsyms should prefer non weak symbols

When resolving symbol names from addresses with aliased symbol names,
kallsyms_lookup always returns the first symbol, even if it is a weak
symbol.

This patch changes this by sorting the symbols with the weak symbols last
before feeding them to the kernel.  This way the kernel runtime isn't
changed at all, only the kallsyms build system is changed.

Another side effect is that the symbols get sorted by address, too.  So,
even if future binutils version have some bug in "nm" that makes it fail to
correctly sort symbols by address, the kernel won't be affected by this.

Mathieu says:

  I created a module in LTTng that uses kallsyms to get the symbol
  corresponding to a specific system call address.  Unfortunately, all the
  unimplemented syscalls were all referring to the (same) weak symbol
  identifying an unrelated system call rather that sys_ni (or whatever
  non-weak symbol would be expected).  Kallsyms was dumbly returning the first
  symbol that matched.

  This patch makes sure kallsyms returns the non-weak symbol when there is
  one, which seems to be the expected result.

inotify: fix race

There is a race between setting an inode's children's "parent watched" flag
when placing the first watch on a parent, and instantiating new children of
that parent: a child could miss having its flags set by
set_dentry_child_flags, but then inotify_d_instantiate might still see
!inotify_inode_watched.

The solution is to set_dentry_child_flags after adding the watch.  Locking is
taken care of, because both set_dentry_child_flags and inotify_d_instantiate
hold dcache_lock and child->d_locks.

Remove rcu_assign_pointer() penalty for NULL pointers

The rcu_assign_pointer() primitive currently unconditionally executes a
memory barrier, even when a NULL pointer is being assigned.  This has lead
some to avoid using rcu_assign_pointer() for NULL pointers, which loses the
self-documenting advantages of rcu_assign_pointer() This patch uses
__builtin_const_p() to omit needless memory barriers for NULL-pointer
assignments at compile time with no runtime penalty, as discussed in the
following thread:

http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg54852.html

Tested on x86_64 and ppc64, also compiled the four cases (NULL/non-NULL
and const/non-const) with gcc version 4.1.2, and hand-checked the

Fix __const_udelay declaration and definition mismatches

include/asm-avr32/delay.h:15:extern void __const_udelay(unsigned long usecs);
arch/avr32/lib/delay.c:39:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)

arch/x86/lib/delay_64.c:46:inline void __const_udelay(unsigned long xloops)

The units of the parameter isn't usecs, so that name is definitely
wrong.  It's also not exactly loops, so I suppose xloops is an OK
name.

This patch changes these names from usecs to xloops.

get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open

NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.

Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.

Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.

This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload

inotify: send IN_ATTRIB events when link count changes

Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count
changed.  This is inconvenient for the application in some cases:

Suppose you have the following directory structure

    foo/test
    bar/

and you watch test.  If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event
IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test".
However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no
inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive
events).

Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and
thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes.

The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link
count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or
when it is removed.  This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so
far.  In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is
sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.

static ssize_t
sysfs_show_available_clocksources(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf)
{
struct clocksource *src;
char *curr = buf;

spin_lock_irq(&clocksource_lock);

curr += sprintf(curr, "\n");

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

sysfs_show_current_clocksources() also has the same problem though in practice
the size of current clocksource's name won't exceed PAGE_SIZE.

smbfs: fix calculation of kernel_recvmsg size parameter in smb_receive()

smb_receive calls kernel_recvmsg with a size that's the minimum of the
amount of buffer space in the kvec passed in or req->rq_rlen (which
represents the length of the response).  This does not take into account
any data that was read in a request earlier pass through smb_receive.

If the first pass through smb_receive receives some but not all of the
response, then the next pass can call kernel_recvmsg with a size field
that's too big.  kernel_recvmsg can overrun into the next response,
throwing off the alignment and making it unrecognizable.

This causes messages like this to pop up in the ring buffer:

smb_get_length: Invalid NBT packet, code=69

as well as other errors indicating that the response is unrecognizable.
Typically this is seen on a smbfs mount under heavy I/O.

This patch changes the code to use (req->rq_rlen - req->rq_bytes_recvd)
instead instead of just req->rq_rlen, since that should represent the
amount of unread data in the response.

I think this is correct, but an ACK or NACK from someone more familiar
with this code would be appreciated...

MNT_UNBINDABLE fix

Some time ago ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/19/128 ) I wrote about
MNT_UNBINDABLE that it felt like a bug that it is not reset by "mount
--make-private".

Today I happened to see mount(8) and Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt and
both document the version obtained by applying the little patch given in
the above (and again below).

So, the present kernel code is not according to specs and must be regarded
as buggy.

Specification in Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt:
See state diagram: unbindable should become private upon make-private.

Specification in mount(8):
    ...  It's
    also possible to  set  up  uni-directional  propagation  (with  --make-
    slave),  to  make  a  mount  point unavailable for --bind/--rbind (with
    --make-unbindable), and to undo any  of  these  (with  --make-private).

Repeat of old fix-shared-subtrees-make-private.patch
(due to Dirk Gerrits, René Gabriëls, Peter Kooijmans):

Allow auto-destruction of loop devices

This allows a flag to be set on loop devices so that when they are
closed for the last time, they'll self-destruct.

In general, so that we can automatically allocate loop devices (as with
losetup -f) and have them disappear when we're done with them.

In particular, right now, so that we can stop relying on the hackish
special-case in umount(8) which kills off loop devices which were set up by
'mount -oloop'.  That means we can stop putting crap in /etc/mtab which
doesn't belong there, which means it can be a symlink to /proc/mounts, which
means yet another writable file on the root filesystem is eliminated and the
'stateless' folks get happier...  and OLPC trac #356 can be closed.

The mount(8) side of that is at

remove support for un-needed _extratext section

When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was
a valid kernel address, even if it is not.  This is because is_ksym_addr()
called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on
many archs (which default as zero).  Since PPC was the only kernel which
defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes
_extra_text support.

IPC: fix error check in all new xxx_lock() and xxx_exit_ns() functions

In the new implementation of the [sem|shm|msg]_lock[_check]() routines, we
use the return value of ipc_lock() in container_of() without any check.
But ipc_lock may return a errcode.  The use of this errcode in
container_of() may alter this errcode, and we don't want this.

And in xxx_exit_ns, the pointer return by idr_find is of type 'struct
kern_ipc_per'...

Today, the code will work as is because the member used in these
container_of() is the first member of its container (offset == 0), the
errcode isn't changed then.  But in the general case, we can't count on
this assumption and this may lead later to a real bug if we don't correct
this.

Again, the proposed solution is simple and correct.  But, as pointed by
Nadia, with this solution, the same check will be done several times (in
all sub-callers...), what is not very funny/optimal...
