coredump_wait waits for mmap_sem for write currently which can prevent
oom_reaper to reclaim the oom victims address space asynchronously
because that requires mmap_sem for read.  This might happen if the oom
victim is multi threaded and some thread(s) is holding mmap_sem for read
(e.g.  page fault) and it is stuck in the page allocator while other
thread(s) reached coredump_wait already.

This patch simply uses down_write_killable and bails out with EINTR if
the lock got interrupted by the fatal signal.  do_coredump will return
right away and do_group_exit will take care to zap the whole thread

vm_brk is allowed to fail but load_aout_binary simply ignores the error
and happily continues.  I haven't noticed any problem from that in real
life but later patches will make the failure more likely because vm_brk
will become killable (resp.  mmap_sem for write waiting will become
killable) so we should be more careful now.

The error handling should be quite straightforward because there are
calls to vm_mmap which check the error properly already.  The only
notable exception is set_brk which is called after beyond_if label.  But
nothing indicates that we cannot move it above set_binfmt as the two do
not depend on each other and fail before we do set_binfmt and alter
reference counting.

Almost all current users of vm_munmap are ignoring the return value and
so they do not handle potential error.  This means that some VMAs might
stay behind.  This patch doesn't try to solve those potential problems.
Quite contrary it adds a new failure mode by using down_write_killable
in vm_munmap.  This should be safer than other failure modes, though,
because the process is guaranteed to die as soon as it leaves the kernel
and exit_mmap will clean the whole address space.

This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck
waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper
which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress and
reclaim the address space of the victim.

All the callers of vm_mmap seem to check for the failure already and
bail out in one way or another on the error which means that we can
change it to use killable version of vm_mmap_pgoff and return -EINTR if
the current task gets killed while waiting for mmap_sem.  This also
means that vm_mmap_pgoff can be killable by default and drop the
additional parameter.

This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck
waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper
which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress and
reclaim the address space of the victim.

Please note that load_elf_binary is ignoring vm_mmap error for
current->personality & MMAP_PAGE_ZERO case but that shouldn't be a
problem because the address is not used anywhere and we never return to
the userspace if we got killed.

This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1].  As the async OOM killing
depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for
write didn't stood in the way.  This patchset is changing many of
down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is
blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help
__oom_reap_task to process the oom victim.

Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a
shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the
current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as
the task has fatal signal pending).  Others seem to be easy as well as
the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to
userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully.
I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really
appreciated.

As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I
have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I
believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all
should have received the cover though).

This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on
down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip
locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree.  I guess it
would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the
dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other
way I have no objections.

I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here

  $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l
  98
  $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l
  62

I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in
this series because this alone should be a nice improvement.  Other
places can be changed on top.

This patch (of 18):

This is the first step in making mmap_sem write waiters killable.  It
focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after
entering the syscall and they are not changing state before.

Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and
immediately return with -EINTR.  This will allow the waiter to pass away
without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward
progress.  E.g.  the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to
dismantle the OOM victim address space.

The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many
call sites via vm_mmap.  To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the
original non-killable semantic for now.

vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code
it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers
indexed by integer values.  This structure is utilised across many
structures in the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and
several filesystems.

This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given
its head node.

Usage:

The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct
radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree.

The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast
correctly to the type based on the storage in the data structure.

For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at
index 18, try the following:

 (gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18)

Some macro's and defines are needed when parsing memory, and without
compiling the kernel as -g3 they are not available in the debug-symbols.

We use the pre-processor here to extract constants to a dedicated module
for the linux debugger extensions

Top level Kbuild is used to call in and generate the constants file,
while maintaining dependencies on autogenerated files in
include/generated

First version of this patch has already been posted to LKML by Ben
Hutchings ~6 months ago, but no further action were performed.

Ben's original message:

: rtsx_usb_ms creates a task that mostly sleeps, but tasks in
: uninterruptible sleep still contribute to the load average (for
: bug-compatibility with Unix).  A load average of ~1 on a system that
: should be idle is somewhat alarming.
:
: Change the sleep to be interruptible, but still ignore signals.

Lots of little changes needed to be made to clean these up, remove the
four byte pointer assumption and traverse the pid queue properly.  Also
consolidate the traceback code into a single function instead of having
three copies of it.

s390/kexec: consolidate crash_map/unmap_reserved_pages() and arch_kexec_protect(unprotect)_crashkres()

Commit 3f625002581b ("kexec: introduce a protection mechanism for the
crashkernel reserved memory") is a similar mechanism for protecting the
crash kernel reserved memory to previous crash_map/unmap_reserved_pages()
implementation, the new one is more generic in name and cleaner in code
(besides, some arch may not be allowed to unmap the pgtable).

Therefore, this patch consolidates them, and uses the new
arch_kexec_protect(unprotect)_crashkres() to replace former
crash_map/unmap_reserved_pages() which by now has been only used by
S390.

The consolidation work needs the crash memory to be mapped initially,
this is done in machine_kdump_pm_init() which is after
reserve_crashkernel().  Once kdump kernel is loaded, the new
arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() implemented for S390 will actually
unmap the pgtable like before.

There are a lof of work to be done in function kexec_load, not only for
allocating structs and loading initram, but also for some misc.

To make it more clear, wrap a new function do_kexec_load which is used
to allocate structs and load initram.  And the pre-work will be done in
kexec_load.

For some arch, kexec shall map the reserved pages, then use them, when
we try to start the kdump service.

kexec may return directly, without unmaping the reserved pages, if it
fails during starting service.  To fix it, we make a pair of map/unmap
reserved pages both in generic path and error path.

This patch only affects s390.  Other architecturess don't implement the
interface of crash_unmap_reserved_pages and crash_map_reserved_pages.

It isn't a urgent patch.  Kernel can work well without any risk,
although the reserved pages are not unmapped before returning in error
path.
