The removed fields are already set by proc_alloc_inode.  Initializing them in
proc_alloc_inode implies they need it for proper cleanup.  At least ei->pde
was not set on all paths making it look like proc_alloc_inode was buggy.  So
just remove the redundant assignments.

I noticed recently that my CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD5 turned into a y again instead
of m.  It turns out that CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is selecting it to be y even though
I've chosen to compile nfsd as a module.

In general when we have a bool sitting under a tristate it is better to
select things you need from the tristate rather than the bool since that
allows the things you select to be modules.

The following patch does it for nfsd.

That oops took me to the "ackqueue" implementation in capi.c.  The crash
occured in capincci_add_ack() (auto-inlined by the compiler).

I read the code a bit and finally decided to replace the custom linked list

did not solve the crash, but produced the following interresting oops:

The interresting part of it is the "virtual address 00200200", which is
LIST_POISON2.  I thought about some race condition, but as this is an UP
system, it leads to questions on how it can happen.  If we look at EFLAGS:
00010202, we see that interrupts are enabled at the time of the crash
(eflags & 0x200).

Finally, I don't understand all the capi code, but I think that
handle_minor_send() is racing somehow against capi_recv_message(), which
call both capiminor_del_ack().  So if an IRQ occurs in the middle of
capiminor_del_ack() and another instance of it is invoked, it leads to
linked list corruption.

I came up with the following patch.  With this, I could not reproduce the
crash anymore.  Clearly, this is not the correct fix for the issue.  As this
seems to be some locking issue, there might be more locking issues in that
code.  For example, doesn't the whole struct capiminor have to be locked
somehow?

Currently in the do_page_fault() code path, we call notify_die(DIE_PAGE_FAULT,
...) to notify the page fault.  Since notify_die() is highly overloaded, this
page fault notification is currently being sent to all the components
registered with register_die_notification() which uses the same die_chain to
loop for all the registered components which is unnecessary.

In order to optimize the do_page_fault() code path, this critical page fault
notification is now moved to different call chain and the test results showed
great improvements.

And the kprobes which is interested in this notifications, now registers onto
this new call chain only when it need to, i.e Kprobes now registers for page
fault notification only when their are an active probes and unregisters from
this page fault notification when no probes are active.

I have incorporated all the feedback given by Ananth and Keith and everyone,
and thanks for all the review feedback.

This patch:

If there are multi kprobes on the same probepoint, there will be one extra
aggr_kprobe on the head of kprobe list.  The aggr_kprobe has
aggr_post_handler/aggr_break_handler whether the other kprobe
post_hander/break_handler is NULL or not.  This patch modifies this, only
when there is one or more kprobe in the list whose post_handler is not
NULL, post_handler of aggr_kprobe will be set as aggr_post_handler.

Instead of incrementing xtime by tick_nsec + ntp adjustments, use the
clocksource abstraction to increment and scale time.  Using the clocksource
abstraction allows other clocksources to be used consistently in the face of
late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies
clocksource.

This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the
current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using
shifted nanoseconds.

The basics of this design was by Roman Zippel, however it is my own
interpretation and implementation, so the credit should go to him and the
blame to me.

Change the current_tick_length() function so it takes an argument which
specifies how much precision to return in shifted nanoseconds.  This provides
a simple way to convert between NTPs internal nanoseconds shifted by
(SHIFT_SCALE - 10) to other shifted nanosecond units that are used by the
clocksource abstraction.

Modify the update_wall_time function so it increments time using the
clocksource abstraction instead of jiffies.  Since the only clocksource driver
currently provided is the jiffies clocksource, this should result in no
functional change.  Additionally, a timekeeping_init and timekeeping_resume
function has been added to initialize and maintain some of the new timekeping
state.

This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure.  A clocksource is a
driver-like architecture generic abstraction of a free-running counter.  This
code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for
registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources.

Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common
denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.

This patch adds "-o bh" option to force use of buffer_heads.  This option
is needed when we make "nobh" as default - and if we run into problems.
