      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      proc connector: add event for process becoming session leader · 02b51df1
      Scott James Remnant 提交于
      The act of a process becoming a session leader is a useful signal to a
      supervising init daemon such as Upstart.
      
      While a daemon will normally do this as part of the process of becoming a
      daemon, it is rare for its children to do so.  When the children do, it is
      nearly always a sign that the child should be considered detached from the
      parent and not supervised along with it.
      
      The poster-child example is OpenSSH; the per-login children call setsid()
      so that they may control the pty connected to them.  If the primary daemon
      dies or is restarted, we do not want to consider the per-login children
      and want to respawn the primary daemon without killing the children.
      
      This patch adds a new PROC_SID_EVENT and associated structure to the
      proc_event event_data union, it arranges for this to be emitted when the
      special PIDTYPE_SID pid is set.

      connector: make callback argument type explicit · 0741241c
      Mike Frysinger 提交于
      The connector documentation states that the argument to the callback
      function is always a pointer to a struct cn_msg, but rather than encode it
      in the API itself, it uses a void pointer everywhere.  This doesn't make
      much sense to encode the pointer in documentation as it prevents proper C
      type checking from occurring and can easily allow people to use the wrong
      pointer type.  So convert the argument type to an explicit struct cn_msg
      pointer.

      [PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestamp · 822cfbff
      Chandra Seetharaman 提交于
      Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary
      compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field
      (struct timespec) is not arch independent.  This affects the fields that
      follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes.
      
      This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels
      on ppc64, s390, x86-64..  any "biarch" system.
      
      Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier.  We have
      since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which
      stores the number of nanoseconds.
      
      Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit
      application and on a i386 system.

      [PATCH] Add timestamp field to process events · 5650b736
      Matt Helsley 提交于
      This adds a timestamp field to the events sent via the process event
      connector.  The timestamp allows listeners to accurately account the
      duration(s) between a process' events and offers strong means with which
      to determine the order of events with respect to a given task while also
      avoiding the addition of per-task data.
      
      This alters the size and layout of the event structure and hence would
      break compatibility if process events connector as it stands in 2.6.15-rc2
      were released as a mainline kernel.
