The general one handles NULL, the static obsolescent
(CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA) one in module.c doesn't; Eric's
commit 720eba31 assumed it did, and various frobbings since then kept
that assumption.
All other callers in module.c all protect it with an if; this effectively
does the same as free_init is only goto if we fail percpu_modalloc().

Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a
separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing
(e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains
newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might
not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of
the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures.
This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation
by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel
parameters.

When unaligned accesses are required for uncompressing a kernel (such as
for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including
<linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are
not available in the decompression environment.
linux/kernel.h brings at least:
extern int console_printk[];
extern const char hex_asc[];
which causes errors at link-time as they are not available when
compiling the pre-boot environement. There are also a few others:

explains why extra precausion is needed.
The patch adds a comment about rcu_barrier() and as a precausion calls

Add support for the Freescale MPC83xx memory controller to the existing
driver for the Freescale MPC85xx memory controller. The only difference
between the two processors are in the CS_BNDS register parsing code, which
has been changed so it will work on both processors.
The L2 cache controller does not exist on the MPC83xx, but the OF
subsystem will not use the driver if the device is not present in the OF
device tree.
I had to change the nr_pages calculation to make the math work out. I
checked it on my board and did the math by hand for a 64GB 85xx using 64K
pages. In both cases, nr_pages * PAGE_SIZE comes out to the correct

The periodic interrupt from drivers/char/hpet.c does not work correctly,
both when using the periodic capability of the hardware and while
emulating the periodic interrupt (when hardware does not support periodic
mode).
With timers capable of periodic interrupts, the comparator field is first
set with the period value followed by set of hidden accumulator, which has
the side effect of overwriting the comparator value. This results in
wrong periodicity for the interrupts. For, periodic interrupts to work,
following steps are necessary, in that order.
* Set config with Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit
* Write to hidden accumulator, the value written is the time when the
first interrupt should be generated
* Write compartor with period interval for subsequent interrupts
(http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf )
When emulating periodic timer with timers not capable of periodic
interrupt, driver is adding the period to counter value instead of
comparator value, which causes slow drift when using this emulation.
Also, driver seems to add hpetp->hp_delta both while setting up periodic
interrupt and while emulating periodic interrupts with timers not capable
of doing periodic interrupts. This hp_delta will result in slower than
expected interrupt rate and should not be used while setting the interval.

Ignore the loader's PT_GNU_STACK when calculating the stack size, and only
consider the executable's PT_GNU_STACK, assuming the executable has one.
Currently the behaviour is to take the largest stack size and use that,
but that means you can't reduce the stack size in the executable. The
loader's stack size should probably only be used when executing the loader
directly.
WARNING: This patch is slightly dangerous - it may render a system
inoperable if the loader's stack size is larger than that of important
executables, and the system relies unknowingly on this increasing the size
of the stack.

__fatal_signal_pending inlines to one instruction on x86, probably two
instructions on other machines. It takes two longer x86 instructions just
to call it and test its return value, not to mention the function itself.
On my random x86_64 config, this saved 70 bytes of text (59 of those being
__fatal_signal_pending itself).

In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a
multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a
TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call. It will still be send to the
whole process of which that thread is part.
Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX.
The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with
perf-counters. Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is
available. If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the
new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space
state right after it returns from the kernel. This is esp. convenient
for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments.
Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex
as argument:
struct f_owner_ex {
int type;
pid_t pid;
};
Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

group_send_sig_info()->check_kill_permission() assumes that current is the
sender and uses current_cred().
This is not true in send_sigio_to_task() case. From the security pov the
sender is not current, but the task which did fcntl(F_SETOWN), that is why
we have sigio_perm() which uses the right creds to check.
Fortunately, send_sigio() always sends either SEND_SIG_PRIV or
SI_FROMKERNEL() signal, so check_kill_permission() does nothing. But
still it would be tidier to avoid this bogus security check and save a
couple of cycles.

Introduce do_send_sig_info() and convert group_send_sig_info(),
send_sig_info(), do_send_specific() to use this helper.
Hopefully it will have more users soon, it allows to specify
specific/group behaviour via "bool group" argument.

sys_delete_module() can set MODULE_STATE_GOING after
search_binary_handler() does try_module_get(). In this case
set_binfmt()->try_module_get() fails but since none of the callers
check the returned error, the task will run with the wrong old
->binfmt.
The proper fix should change all ->load_binary() methods, but we can
rely on fact that the caller must hold a reference to binfmt->module
and use __module_get() which never fails.

Allow core_pattern pipes to wait for user space to complete
One of the things that user space processes like to do is look at metadata
for a crashing process in their /proc/<pid> directory. this is racy
however, since do_coredump in the kernel doesn't wait for the user space
process to complete before it reaps the crashing process. This patch
corrects that. Allowing the kernel to wait for the user space process to
complete before cleaning up the crashing process. This is a bit tricky to
do for a few reasons:
1) The user space process isn't our child, so we can't sys_wait4 on it
2) We need to close the pipe before waiting for the user process to complete,
since the user process may rely on an EOF condition
I've discussed several solutions with Oleg Nesterov off-list about this,
and this is the one we've come up with. We add ourselves as a pipe reader
(to prevent premature cleanup of the pipe_inode_info), and remove
ourselves as a writer (to provide an EOF condition to the writer in user
space), then we iterate until the user space process exits (which we
detect by pipe->readers == 1, hence the > 1 check in the loop). When we
exit the loop, we restore the proper reader/writer values, then we return
and let filp_close in do_coredump clean up the pipe data properly.

Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl.
Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem,
we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the
system simply by running bad applications.
If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can
have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system.
This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption.
core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel,
dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log.
A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may
be handled (this is the default value).
