This patch standardized the string auditing interfaces.  No userspace
changes will be visible and this is all just cleanup and consistancy
work.  We have the following string audit interfaces to use:

void audit_log_n_hex(struct audit_buffer *ab, const unsigned char *buf, size_t len);

void audit_log_n_string(struct audit_buffer *ab, const char *buf, size_t n);
void audit_log_string(struct audit_buffer *ab, const char *buf);

void audit_log_n_untrustedstring(struct audit_buffer *ab, const char *string, size_t n);
void audit_log_untrustedstring(struct audit_buffer *ab, const char *string);

This may be the first step to possibly fixing some of the issues that
people have with the string output from the kernel audit system.  But we
still don't have an agreed upon solution to that problem.

A deadlock is possible between kauditd and auditd under load if auditd
receives a signal.  When auditd receives a signal it sends a netlink
message to the kernel asking for information about the sender of the
signal.  In that same context the audit system will attempt to send a
netlink message back to the userspace auditd.  If kauditd has already
filled the socket buffer (see netlink_attachskb()) auditd will now put
itself to sleep waiting for room to send the message.  Since auditd is
responsible for draining that socket we have a deadlock.  The fix, since
the response from the kernel does not need to be synchronous is to send
the signal information back to auditd in a separate thread.  And thus
auditd can continue to drain the audit queue normally.

This patch causes the kernel audit subsystem to store up to
audit_backlog_limit messages for use by auditd if it ever appears
sometime in the future in userspace.  This is useful to collect audit
messages during bootup and even when auditd is stopped.  This is NOT a
reliable mechanism, it does not ever call audit_panic, nor should it.
audit_log_lost()/audit_panic() are called during the normal delivery
mechanism.  The messages are still sent to printk/syslog as usual and if
too many messages appear to be queued they will be silently discarded.

I liked doing it by default, but this patch only uses the queue in
question if it was booted with audit=1 or if the kernel was built
enabling audit by default.

The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to
virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie
function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to
reserve space in the page table:
s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed
and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table.

Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE.

This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static.

Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's
review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in
include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now
call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

fix __aggregate_redistribute_shares() related lockup reported by
David S. Miller.

The problem this code tries to solve is 'accurately' calculating the 'fair'
share of the group weight for each cpu. The current code falls back to a global
group rebalance in case the sched_domain's span it looks at has no shares, but
does have tasks.

The reason it gets stuck here, is because its inherently racy - if someone
steals the last task after we compute the agg->rq_weight, but before we
rebalance, we'll never get out of the loop.

We could of course go fix that, but while looking at this issue I found that
this 'fallback' wasn't nearly as rare as I'd hoped it to be. In fact its quite
common - and given it walks the whole machine, thats very bad.

The new approach is simple (why didn't I think of it before?), we set the
aggregate shares to the full task group weight, and each larger sched domain
that encounters an aggregate shares larger than the weight, clips it (it
already re-distributes anyway).

This nicely converges to the desired global picture where the sum of all
shares equals the task group weight.

It seems that hrtimer_run_queues() is calling hrtimer_get_softirq_time() more
often than it needs to.  This can cause frequent contention on systems with
large numbers of processors/cores.

With this patch, hrtimer_run_queues only calls hrtimer_get_softirq_time() if
there is a pending timer in one of the hrtimer bases, and only once.

This also combines hrtimer_run_queues() and the inline run_hrtimer_queue()
into one function.

In order to level the hierarchy, we need to calculate load based on the
root view. That is, each task's load is in the same unit.

             A
            / \
           B   1
          / \
         2   3

To compute 1's load we do:

	   weight(1)
	--------------
	 rq_weight(A)

To compute 2's load we do:

	  weight(2)      weight(B)
	------------ * -----------
	rq_weight(B)   rw_weight(A)

This yields load fractions in comparable units.

The consequence is that it changes virtual time. We used to have:

                time_{i}
  vtime_{i} = ------------
               weight_{i}

  vtime = \Sum vtime_{i} = time / rq_weight.

But with the new way of load calculation we get that vtime equals time.

Implement SMP nice support for the full group hierarchy.

On each load-balance action, compile a sched_domain wide view of the full
task_group tree. We compute the domain wide view when walking down the
hierarchy, and readjust the weights when walking back up.

After collecting and readjusting the domain wide view, we try to balance the
tasks within the task_groups. The current approach is a naively balance each
task group until we've moved the targeted amount of load.

Inspired by Srivatsa Vaddsgiri's previous code and Abhishek Chandra's H-SMP
paper.
