Don't force output if you intend to reboot immediately.

In this patch, I'm disabling the functionality enabled by
vc->vc_panic_force_write if panic_timeout < 0 (i.e.  no timeout).
vc_panic_force_write is only enabled for fb video consoles if the
FBINFO_CAN_FORCE_OUTPUT flag is set.

For our application, we're using ram_oops to preserved the panic in
memory.  We want to reliably, and as fast as possible, machine_restart.
The vc_panic_force_write flag results in a bunch of graphics driver code
to be invoked which slows down restart and decreases reliability.  Since
we're already storing the panic in RAM and are going to reboot
immediately, there is no benefit in mode switching back to the vc in
order to display the panic output.  The log buffer will get flushed by
the console_unblank() call so remote management consoles should see all
output.

When a kernel BUG or oops occurs, ChromeOS intends to panic and
immediately reboot, with stacktrace and other messages preserved in RAM
across reboot.

But the longer we delay, the more likely the user is to poweroff and
lose the info.

panic_timeout (seconds before rebooting) is set by panic= boot option or
sysctl or /proc/sys/kernel/panic; but 0 means wait forever, so at
present we have to delay at least 1 second.

Let a negative number mean reboot immediately (with the small cosmetic
benefit of suppressing that newline-less "Rebooting in %d seconds.."
message).

Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl.  If set to 1, all shared
memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to
use IPC_RMID.

The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and
call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus
consuming memory not counted via rlimits.

With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for
one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding
the shared memory.

It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would
stop working.  So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses
"orphaned" memory.  Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability
reasons.

The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

Currently, search_binary_handler() tries to load binary loader module
using request_module() if a loader for the requested program is not yet
loaded.  But second attempt of request_module() does not affect the result
of search_binary_handler().

If request_module() triggered recursion, calling request_module() twice
causes 2 to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT (= 50) repetitions.  It is
not an infinite loop but is sufficient for users to consider as a hang up.

Therefore, this patch changes not to call request_module() twice, making 1
to the power of MAX_KMOD_CONCURRENT repetitions in case of recursion.

If an inode's mode permits opening /proc/PID/io and the resulting file
descriptor is kept across execve() of a setuid or similar binary, the
ptrace_may_access() check tries to prevent using this fd against the
task with escalated privileges.

Unfortunately, there is a race in the check against execve().  If
execve() is processed after the ptrace check, but before the actual io
information gathering, io statistics will be gathered from the
privileged process.  At least in theory this might lead to gathering
sensible information (like ssh/ftp password length) that wouldn't be
available otherwise.

Holding task->signal->cred_guard_mutex while gathering the io
information should protect against the race.

The order of locking is similar to the one inside of ptrace_attach():
first goes cred_guard_mutex, then lock_task_sighand().

  __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
  archs.  This is a followup without any arch specific code.  Other than
  that there are no functional changes.]

Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems).  Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.

This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.

percpu_charge_mutex protects from multiple simultaneous per-cpu charge
caches draining because we might end up having too many work items.  At
least this was the case until commit 26fe6168 ("memcg: fix percpu
cached charge draining frequency") when we introduced a more targeted
draining for async mode.

Now that also sync draining is targeted we can safely remove mutex
because we will not send more work than the current number of CPUs.
FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE protects from sending the same work multiple
times and stock->nr_pages == 0 protects from pointless sending a work if
there is obviously nothing to be done.  This is of course racy but we
can live with it as the race window is really small (we would have to
see FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE cleared while nr_pages would be still
non-zero).

The only remaining place where we can race is synchronous mode when we
rely on FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE test which might have been set by other
drainer on the same group but we should wait in that case as well.
