The purpose of audit_bprm() is to log the argv array to a userspace daemon at
the end of the execve system call.  Since user-space hasn't had time to run,
this array is still in pristine state on the process' stack; so no need to
copy it, we can just grab it from there.

In order to minimize the damage to audit_log_*() copy each string into a
temporary kernel buffer first.

Currently the audit code requires that the full argument vector fits in a
single packet.  So currently it does clip the argv size to a (sysctl) limit,
but only when execve auditing is enabled.

If the audit protocol gets extended to allow for multiple packets this check
can be removed.

New arch macro STACK_TOP_MAX it gives the larges valid stack address for the
architecture in question.

It differs from STACK_TOP in that it will not distinguish between
personalities but will always return the largest possible address.

This is used to create the initial stack on execve, which we will move down to
the proper location once the binfmt code has figured out where that is.

per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use.  This guy I know once
wrote code like this:

struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };

And then his kernel exploded. Oops.

This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.

We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

Currently jprobe.entry is a kprobe_opcode_t *, but that's a lie.  On some
platforms it doesn't point to an opcode at all, it points to a function
descriptor.

It's really a pointer to something that the arch code can turn into a function
entry point.  And that's what actually happens, none of the generic code ever
looks at jprobe.entry, it's only ever dereferenced by arch code.

So just make it a void *.

Share the same page flag bit for PG_readahead and PG_reclaim.

One is used only on file reads, another is only for emergency writes.  One
is used mostly for fresh/young pages, another is for old pages.

Combinations of possible interactions are:

a) clear PG_reclaim => implicit clear of PG_readahead
	it will delay an asynchronous readahead into a synchronous one
	it actually does _good_ for readahead:
		the pages will be reclaimed soon, it's readahead thrashing!
		in this case, synchronous readahead makes more sense.

b) clear PG_readahead => implicit clear of PG_reclaim
	one(and only one) page will not be reclaimed in time
	it can be avoided by checking PageWriteback(page) in readahead first

c) set PG_reclaim => implicit set of PG_readahead
	will confuse readahead and make it restart the size rampup process
	it's a trivial problem, and can mostly be avoided by checking
	PageWriteback(page) first in readahead

d) set PG_readahead => implicit set of PG_reclaim
	PG_readahead will never be set on already cached pages.
	PG_reclaim will always be cleared on dirtying a page.
	so not a problem.

In summary,
	a)   we get better behavior
	b,d) possible interactions can be avoided
	c)   racy condition exists that might affect readahead, but the chance
	     is _really_ low, and the hurt on readahead is trivial.

Compound pages also use PG_reclaim, but for now they do not interact with
reclaim/readahead code.

Pass real splice size to page_cache_readahead_ondemand().

The splice code works in chunks of 16 pages internally.  The readahead code
should be told of the overall splice size, instead of the internal chunk size.
 Otherwize bad things may happen.  Imagine some 17-page random splice reads.
The code before this patch will result in two readahead calls: readahead(16);
readahead(1); That leads to one 16-page I/O and one 32-page I/O: one extra I/O
and 31 readahead miss pages.

Move synchronous page_cache_readahead_ondemand() call out of splice loop.

This avoids one pointless page allocation/insertion in case of non-zero
ra_pages, or many pointless readahead calls in case of zero ra_pages.

Note that if a user sets ra_pages to less than PIPE_BUFFERS=16 pages, he will
not get expected readahead behavior anyway.  The splice code works in batches
of 16 pages, which can be taken as another form of synchronous readahead.

Convert ext3/ext4 dir reads to use on-demand readahead.

Readahead for dirs operates _not_ on file level, but on blockdev level.  This
makes a difference when the data blocks are not continuous.  And the read
routine is somehow opaque: there's no handy info about the status of current
page.  So a simplified call scheme is employed: to call into readahead
whenever the current page falls out of readahead windows.

This is a minimal readahead algorithm that aims to replace the current one.
It is more flexible and reliable, while maintaining almost the same behavior
and performance.  Also it is full integrated with adaptive readahead.

It is designed to be called on demand:
	- on a missing page, to do synchronous readahead
	- on a lookahead page, to do asynchronous readahead

In this way it eliminated the awkward workarounds for cache hit/miss,
readahead thrashing, retried read, and unaligned read.  It also adopts the
data structure introduced by adaptive readahead, parameterizes readahead
pipelining with `lookahead_index', and reduces the current/ahead windows to
one single window.

HEURISTICS

The logic deals with four cases:

	- sequential-next
		found a consistent readahead window, so push it forward

	- random
		standalone small read, so read as is

	- sequential-first
		create a new readahead window for a sequential/oversize request

	- lookahead-clueless
		hit a lookahead page not associated with the readahead window,
		so create a new readahead window and ramp it up

In each case, three parameters are determined:

	- readahead index: where the next readahead begins
	- readahead size:  how much to readahead
	- lookahead size:  when to do the next readahead (for pipelining)

BEHAVIORS

The old behaviors are maximally preserved for trivial sequential/random reads.
Notable changes are:

	- It no longer imposes strict sequential checks.
	  It might help some interleaved cases, and clustered random reads.
	  It does introduce risks of a random lookahead hit triggering an
	  unexpected readahead. But in general it is more likely to do good
	  than to do evil.

	- Interleaved reads are supported in a minimal way.
	  Their chances of being detected and proper handled are still low.

	- Readahead thrashings are better handled.
	  The current readahead leads to tiny average I/O sizes, because it
	  never turn back for the thrashed pages.  They have to be fault in
	  by do_generic_mapping_read() one by one.  Whereas the on-demand
	  readahead will redo readahead for them.

OVERHEADS

The new code reduced the overheads of

	- excessively calling the readahead routine on small sized reads
	  (the current readahead code insists on seeing all requests)

	- doing a lot of pointless page-cache lookups for small cached files
	  (the current readahead only turns itself off after 256 cache hits,
	  unfortunately most files are < 1MB, so never see that chance)

That accounts for speedup of
	- 0.3% on 1-page sequential reads on sparse file
	- 1.2% on 1-page cache hot sequential reads
	- 3.2% on 256-page cache hot sequential reads
	- 1.3% on cache hot `tar /lib`

However, it does introduce one extra page-cache lookup per cache miss, which
impacts random reads slightly. That's 1% overheads for 1-page random reads on
sparse file.

PERFORMANCE

The basic benchmark setup is
	- 2.6.20 kernel with on-demand readahead
	- 1MB max readahead size
	- 2.9GHz Intel Core 2 CPU
	- 2GB memory
	- 160G/8M Hitachi SATA II 7200 RPM disk

The benchmarks show that
	- it maintains the same performance for trivial sequential/random reads
	- sysbench/OLTP performance on MySQL gains up to 8%
	- performance on readahead thrashing gains up to 3 times

	- It is mostly doing 4-page random reads, and sometimes doing two
	  reads in a row, the latter one triggers a 16-page readahead.
	- The on-demand readahead leaves many lookahead pages (flagged
	  PG_readahead) there. Many of them will be hit, and trigger
	  more readahead pages. Which might save more seeks.
	- Naturally, the readahead windows tend to lie in hot areas,
	  and the lookahead pages in hot areas is more likely to be hit.
	- The more overall read density, the more possible gain.

That also explains the adaptive readahead tricks for clustered random reads.

readahead thrashing: 3 times better

Define two convenient macros for read-ahead:
	- MAX_RA_PAGES: rounded down counterpart of VM_MAX_READAHEAD
	- MIN_RA_PAGES: rounded _up_ counterpart of VM_MIN_READAHEAD

Note that the rounded up MIN_RA_PAGES will work flawlessly with _large_
page sizes like 64k.

Add look-ahead support to __do_page_cache_readahead().

It works by
	- mark the Nth backwards page with PG_readahead,
	(which instructs the page's first reader to invoke readahead)
	- and only do the marking for newly allocated pages.
	(to prevent blindly doing readahead on already cached pages)

Look-ahead is a technique to achieve I/O pipelining:

While the application is working through a chunk of cached pages, the kernel
reads-ahead the next chunk of pages _before_ time of need.  It effectively
hides low level I/O latencies to high level applications.

Introduce a new page flag: PG_readahead.

It acts as a look-ahead mark, which tells the page reader: Hey, it's time to
invoke the read-ahead logic.  For the sake of I/O pipelining, don't wait until
it runs out of cached pages!

There is another bug recently introduced into the ecryptfs_setattr()
function in 2.6.22.  eCryptfs will attempt to treat special files like
regular eCryptfs files on chmod, chown, and so forth.  This leads to a NULL
pointer dereference.  This patch validates that the file is a regular file
before proceeding with operations related to the inode's crypt_stat.

Optimize show_stat to collect per-irq information just once.

On x86_64, with newer kernel versions, kstat_irqs is a bit of a problem.
On every call to kstat_irqs, the process brings in per-cpu data from all
online cpus.  Doing this for NR_IRQS, which is now 256 + 32 * NR_CPUS
results in (256+32*63) * 63 remote cpu references on a 64 cpu config.
Considering the fact that we already compute this value per-cpu, we can
save on the remote references as below.

At present, if a user mode helper is running while
usermodehelper_pm_callback() is executed, the helper may be frozen and the
completion in call_usermodehelper_exec() won't be completed until user
space processes are thawed.  As a result, the freezing of kernel threads
may fail, which is not desirable.

Prevent this from happening by introducing a counter of running user mode
helpers and allowing usermodehelper_pm_callback() to succeed for action =
PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE or action = PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE only if there are no
helpers running.  [Namely, usermodehelper_pm_callback() waits for at most
RUNNING_HELPERS_TIMEOUT for the number of running helpers to become zero
and fails if that doesn't happen.]
