MONOTONIC_RAW clock timestamps are ideally suited for frequency
calculation and also fit well into the original NTP hardpps design. Now
phase and frequency can be adjusted separately: the former based on
REALTIME clock and the latter based on MONOTONIC_RAW clock.
A new function getnstime_raw_and_real is added to timekeeping subsystem to
capture both timestamps at the same time and atomically.

This commit adds hardpps() implementation based upon the original one from
the NTPv4 reference kernel code from David Mills. However, it is highly
optimized towards very fast syncronization and maximum stickness to PPS
signal. The typical error is less then a microsecond.
To make it sync faster I had to throw away exponential phase filter so
that the full phase offset is corrected immediately. Then I also had to
throw away median phase filter because it gives a bigger error itself if
used without exponential filter.
Maybe we will find an appropriate filtering scheme in the future but it's
not necessary if the signal quality is ok.

Commit 4be2c95d ("taskstats: pad taskstats netlink response for aligment
issues on ia64") added a null field to align the taskstats structure but
the discussion centered around ia64. The issue exists on other platforms
with inefficient unaligned access and adding them piecemeal would be an
unmaintainable mess.
This patch uses Dave Miller's suggestion of using a combination of
CONFIG_64BIT && !CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to determine
whether alignment is needed.
Note that this will cause breakage on those platforms with applications
like iotop which had hard-coded offsets into the packet to access the
taskstats structure.
The message seen on systems without the alignment fixes looks like: kernel
unaligned access to 0xe000023879dca9bc, ip=0xa000000100133d10
The addresses may vary but resolve to locations inside __delayacct_add_tsk.
iotop makes what I'd call unreasonable assumptions about the contents of a
netlink genetlink packet containing generic attributes. They're typed and
have headers that specify value lengths, so the client can (should)
identify and skip the ones the client doesn't understand.
The kernel, as of version 2.6.36, presented a packet like so:
+--------------------------------+
| genlmsghdr - 4 bytes |
+--------------------------------+
| NLA header - 4 bytes | /* Aggregate header */
+-+------------------------------+
| | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* PID header */
| +------------------------------+
| | pid/tgid - 4 bytes |
| +------------------------------+
| | NLA header - 4 bytes | /* stats header */
| + -----------------------------+ <- oops. aligned on 4 byte boundary
| | struct taskstats - 328 bytes |
+-+------------------------------+
The iotop code expects that the kernel will behave as it did then,
assuming that the packet format is set in stone. The format is set in
stone, but the packet offsets are not. There's nothing in the packet
format that guarantees that the packet will be sent in exactly the same
way. The attribute contents are set (or versioned) and the aggregate
contents are set but they can be anywhere in the packet.
The issue here isn't that an unaligned structure gets passed to userspace,
it's that the NLA infrastructure has something of a weakness: The 4 byte
attribute header may force the payload to be unaligned. The taskstats
structure is created at an unaligned location and then 64-bit values are
operated on inside the kernel, so the unaligned access warnings gets
spewed everywhere.
It's possible to use the unaligned access API to operate on the structure
in the kernel but it seems like a wasted effort to work around userspace
code that isn't following the packet format. Any new additions would also
need the be worked around. It's a maintenance nightmare.
The conclusion of the earlier discussion seemed to be "ok fine, if we have
to break it, don't break it on arches that don't have the problem." Dave
pointed out that the unaligned access problem doesn't only exist on ia64,
but also on other 64-bit arches that don't have efficient unaligned access
and it should be fixed there as well. The committed version of the patch
and this addition keep with the conclusion of that discussion not to break
it unnecessarily, which the pid padding and the packet padding fixes did
do. x86_64 and powerpc don't suffer this problem so they shouldn't suffer
the solution. Other 64-bit architectures do and will, though.

Currently on 64-bit arch the user_namespace is 2096 and when being
kmalloc-ed it resides on a 4k slab wasting 2003 bytes.
If we allocate a separate cache for it and reduce the hash size from 128
to 64 chains the packaging becomes *much* better - the struct is 1072
bytes and the hole between is 98 bytes.

dump_list_lock is used to protect dump_list in kmsg_dumper implementation,
kmsg_dump() uses it to traverse dump_list too. But if there is contention
on the lock, kmsg_dump() will fail, and the valuable kernel message may be
lost.
This patch solves this issue with RCU. Because kmsg_dump() only read the
list, no lock is needed in kmsg_dump(). So that kmsg_dump() will never
fail because of lock contention.

Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
sysctl.
The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.
If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".

For arch which needs USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, it has to select
USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, rather than leaving a choice to user, since they
don't provide their own implementions.
Also, move on_each_cpu() to kernel/smp.c, it is strange to put it in
kernel/softirq.c.
For arch which doesn't use USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, e.g. blackfin, only
on_each_cpu() is compiled.

emergency_restart paths
We need to know the reason why system rebooted in support service.
However, we can't inform our customers of the reason because final
messages are lost on current Linux kernel.
This patch improves the situation above because the final messages are
saved by adding kmsg_dump() to reboot, halt, poweroff and
emergency_restart path.

Function-scope statics are discouraged because they are
easily overlooked and can cause subtle bugs/races due to
their global (non-SMP safe) nature.
Linus noticed that we did this for sched_param - at minimum
make the const.

One of the operands, buf, is incorrect, since it is stripped and the
correct address for subsequent string comparing could change if
leading white spaces, if any, are removed from buf.
It is fixed by replacing buf with cmp.

root_task_group is the leftover of USER_SCHED, now it's always
same to init_task_group.
But as Mike suggested, root_task_group is maybe the suitable name
to keep for a tree.
So in this patch:
init_task_group --> root_task_group
init_task_group_load --> root_task_group_load
INIT_TASK_GROUP_LOAD --> ROOT_TASK_GROUP_LOAD

In particular this patch move perf_event_exit_task() before
cgroup_exit() to allow for cgroup support. The cgroup_exit()
function detaches the cgroups attached to a task.
Other movements include hoisting some definitions and inlines
at the top of perf_event.c

Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry
flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them.
This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup
situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we
have d_op but not the particular operation.
Patched with:
git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i

dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already
held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point).
However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any
caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy
dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time.

dcache_lock no longer protects anything. remove it.

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).
Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is
provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.

Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a
0 refcount dentry remains 0 without dcache_lock. It is also fairly natural when
we start protecting many other dentry members with d_lock.

Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
anyway.
This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
much simpler.

Switching d_op on a live dentry is racy in general, so avoid it. In this case
it is a negative dentry, which is safer, but there are still concurrent ops
which may be called on d_op in that case (eg. d_revalidate). So in general
a filesystem may not do this. Fix cgroupfs so as not to do this.
