This patch moves __unhash_process() call from realease_task() to
__exit_signal(), so __detach_pid() is called with ->siglock held.

This means we don't need tasklist_lock to iterate over thread group anymore:

	copy_process() was already changed to do attach_pid()
	under ->siglock.

	Eric's "pidhash-kill-switch_exec_pids.patch" from -mm
	changed de_thread() so it doesn't touch PIDTYPE_TGID.

NOTE: de_thread() still needs some attention.  It still changes task->pid
lockless.  Taking ->sighand.siglock here allows to do more tasklist_lock
removals.

__exit_signal() does important cleanups atomically under ->siglock.  It is
also called from copy_process's error path.  This is not good, for example we
can't move __unhash_process() under ->siglock for that reason.

We should not mix these 2 paths, just look at ugly 'if (p->sighand)' under
'bad_fork_cleanup_sighand:' label.  For copy_process() case it is sufficient
to just backout copy_signal(), nothing more.

Again, nobody can see this task yet.  For CLONE_THREAD case we just decrement
signal->count, otherwise nobody can see this ->signal and we can free it
lockless.

This patch assumes it is safe to do exit_thread_group_keys() without
tasklist_lock.

Add lock_task_sighand() helper and converts group_send_sig_info() to use
it.  Hopefully we will have more users soon.

This patch also removes '!sighand->count' and '!p->usage' checks, I think
they both are bogus, racy and unneeded (but probably it makes sense to
restore them as BUG_ON()s).

->sighand is cleared and it's ->count is decremented in release_task() with
sighand->siglock held, so it is a bug to have '!p->usage || !->count' after
we already locked and verified it is the same.  On the other hand, an
already dead task without ->sighand can have a non-zero ->usage due to
ptrace, for example.

If we read the stale value of ->sighand we must see the change after
spin_lock(), because that change was done while holding that same old
->sighand.siglock.

This patch borrows a clever Hugh's 'struct anon_vma' trick.

Without tasklist_lock held we can't trust task->sighand until we locked it
and re-checked that it is still the same.

But this means we don't need to defer 'kmem_cache_free(sighand)'.  We can
return the memory to slab immediately, all we need is to be sure that
sighand->siglock can't dissapear inside rcu protected section.

To do so we need to initialize ->siglock inside ctor function,
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU does the rest.

fork_idle() does unhash_process() just after copy_process().  Contrary,
boot_cpu's idle thread explicitely registers itself for each pid_type with nr
= 0.

copy_process() already checks p->pid != 0 before process_counts++, I think we
can just skip attach_pid() calls and job control inits for idle threads and
kill unhash_process().  We don't need to cleanup ->proc_dentry in fork_idle()
because with this patch idle threads are never hashed in
kernel/pid.c:pid_hash[].

We don't need to hash pid == 0 in pidmap_init().  free_pidmap() is never
called with pid == 0 arg, so it will never be reused.  So it is still possible
to use pid == 0 in any PIDTYPE_xxx namespace from kernel/pid.c's POV.

However with this patch we don't hash pid == 0 for PIDTYPE_PID case.  We still
have have PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID entries with pid == 0: /sbin/init and
kernel threads which don't call daemonize().

switch_exec_pids is only called from de_thread by way of exec, and it is
only called when we are exec'ing from a non thread group leader.

Currently switch_exec_pids gives the leader the pid of the thread and
unhashes and rehashes all of the process groups.  The leader is already in
the EXIT_DEAD state so no one cares about it's pids.  The only concern for
the leader is that __unhash_process called from release_task will function
correctly.  If we don't touch the leader at all we know that
__unhash_process will work fine so there is no need to touch the leader.

For the task becomming the thread group leader, we just need to give it the
pid of the old thread group leader, add it to the task list, and attach it
to the session and the process group of the thread group.

Currently de_thread is also adding the task to the task list which is just
silly.

Currently the only leader of __detach_pid besides detach_pid is
switch_exec_pids because of the ugly extra work that was being
performed.

So this patch removes switch_exec_pids because it is doing too much, it is
creating an unnecessary special case in pid.c, duing work duplicated in
de_thread, and generally obscuring what it is going on.

The necessary work is added to de_thread, and it seems to be a little
clearer there what is going on.

After looking at the problem of init calling exec some more I figured out
an easy way to make the code work.

The actual symptom without out this patch is that all threads will die
except pid == 1, and the thread calling exec.  The thread calling exec will
wait forever for pid == 1 to die.

Since pid == 1 does not install a handler for SIGKILL it will never die.

This modifies the tests for init from current->pid == 1 to the equivalent
current == child_reaper.  And then it causes exec in the ugly case to
modify child_reaper.

The only weird symptom is that you wind up with an init process that
doesn't have the oldest start time on the box.

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

between cores.  Consider a dual package system, each package containing two
cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a package.  If
there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch those two
processes will be scheduled on different packages.

On such systems, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with 2
users).

This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
caches.  On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by domain
degeneration code.  This new domain can be also used for implementing power
savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..
I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)

  *  priority range a task can explore, a value of '1' means the
  *  task is rated interactive.)

However, the current code does not scale it linearly and the result differs
from the given examples.  If the mathematical function "floor" is used when
the nice value is negative instead of the truncation one gets when using
integer division, the result conforms to the documentation.

When kretprobe probes the schedule() function, if the probed process exits
then schedule() will never return, so some kretprobe instances will never
be recycled.

In this patch the parent process will recycle retprobe instances of the
probed function and there will be no memory leak of kretprobe instances.

The nanosleep cleanup allows to remove the data field of hrtimer.  The
callback function can use container_of() to get it's own data.  Since the
hrtimer structure is anyway embedded in other structures, this adds no
overhead.

nsec_t predates ktime_t and has mostly been superseded by it.  In the few
places that are left it's better to make it explicit that we're dealing with
64 bit values here.
