Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular.  So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.

Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.

The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
 kernel/user.c                  obj-y
 kernel/kexec.c                 bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
 kernel/profile.c               bool PROFILING
 kernel/hung_task.c             bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
 kernel/sched/stats.c           bool SCHEDSTATS
 kernel/user_namespace.c        bool USER_NS

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e.  slightly earlier).  However no observable impact of that
difference has been observed during testing.

Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

When khungtaskd detects hung tasks, it prints out
backtraces from a number of those tasks.

Limiting the number of backtraces being printed
out can result in the user not seeing the information
necessary to debug the issue. The hung_task_warnings
sysctl controls this feature.

This patch makes it possible for hung_task_warnings
to accept a special value to print an unlimited
number of backtraces when khungtaskd detects hung
tasks.

The special value is -1. To use this value it is
necessary to change types from ulong to int.

Currently check_hung_task() prints a warning if it detects the
problem, but it is not convenient to watch the system logs if
user-space wants to be notified about the hang.

Add the new trace_sched_process_hang() into check_hung_task(),
this way a user-space monitor can easily wait for the hang and
potentially resolve a problem.

As 'sysctl_hung_task_check_count' is 'unsigned long' when this
value is assigned to max_count in check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks(),
it's truncated to 'int' type.

This causes a minor artifact: if we write 2^32 to sysctl.hung_task_check_count,
hung task detection will be effectively disabled.

With this fix, it will still truncate the user input to 32 bits, but
reading sysctl.hung_task_check_count reflects the actual truncated value.

printk(KERN_ERR) from check_hung_task() likely means we have a bug,
but unlike BUG_ON()/WARN_ON ()it doesn't show the kernel version,
this complicates the bug-reports investigation.

Add the additional pr_err() to print tainted/release/version
like dump_stack_print_info() does, the output becomes:

        INFO: task perl:504 blocked for more than 2 seconds.
	      Not tainted 3.11.0-rc1-10367-g136bb46-dirty #1763

Send an NMI to all CPUs when a hung task is detected and the hung
task code is configured to panic. This gives us a fairly uptodate
snapshot of all CPUs in the system.

This lets us get stack trace of all CPUs which makes life easier
trying to debug a deadlock, and the NMI doesn't change anything
since the next step is a kernel panic.

check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks()->rcu_lock_break() introduced by
"softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task" commit ce9dbe24 looks
absolutely wrong.

	- rcu_lock_break() does put_task_struct(). If the task has exited
	  it is not safe to even read its ->state, nothing protects this
	  task_struct.

	- The TASK_DEAD checks are wrong too. Contrary to the comment, we
	  can't use it to check if the task was unhashed. It can be unhashed
	  without TASK_DEAD, or it can be valid with TASK_DEAD.

	  For example, an autoreaping task can do release_task(current)
	  long before it sets TASK_DEAD in do_exit().

	  Or, a zombie task can have ->state == TASK_DEAD but release_task()
	  was not called, and in this case we must not break the loop.

Change this code to check pid_alive() instead, and do this before we drop
the reference to the task_struct.

Note: while_each_thread() under rcu_read_lock() is not really safe, it can
livelock.  This will be fixed later, but fortunately in this case the
"max_count" logic saves us anyway.

EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else.  Revector them
onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

  +#include <linux/export.h>

This patch allows the default value for sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs
to be set at build time. The feature carries virtually no overhead,
so it makes sense to keep it enabled. On heavily loaded systems, though,
it can end up triggering stack traces when there is no bug other than
the system being underprovisioned. We use this patch to keep the hung task
facility available but disabled at boot-time.

The default of 120 seconds is preserved. As a note, commit e162b39a may
have accidentally reverted commit fb822db4, which raised the default from
120 seconds to 480 seconds.

I'm seeing spikes of up to 0.5ms in khungtaskd on a large
machine. To reduce this source of jitter I tried setting
hung_task_check_count to 0:

 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_check_count

which didn't have the intended response. Change to a post
increment of max_count, so a value of 0 means check 0 tasks.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl

When we check if a task has been switched out since the last scan, we might
have a race condition on the following scenario:

- the task is freshly created and scheduled

- it puts its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and is not yet switched out

- check_hung_task() scans this task and will report a false positive because
  t->nvcsw + t->nivcsw == t->last_switch_count == 0

Add a check for such cases.

Impact: extend the scope of hung-task checks

Changed the default value of hung_task_check_count to PID_MAX_LIMIT.
hung_task_batch_count added to put an upper bound on the critical
section. Every hung_task_batch_count checks, the rcu lock is never
held for a too long time.

Keeping the critical section small minimizes time preemption is disabled
and keeps rcu grace periods small.

To prevent following a stale pointer, get_task_struct is called on g and t.
To verify that g and t have not been unhashed while outside the critical
section, the task states are checked.

The design was proposed by Frédéric Weisbecker.

A potential race exists if sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs is reset to 0
while inside check_hung_uniterruptible_tasks(). If check_task() is
entered, a comparison with 0 will result in a false hung_task being
detected.

If sysctl_hung_task_panic is set, the system will panic.

Decoupling allows:

* hung tasks check to happen at very low priority

* hung tasks check and softlockup to be enabled/disabled independently
  at compile and/or run-time

* individual panic settings to be enabled disabled independently
  at compile and/or run-time

* softlockup threshold to be reduced without increasing hung tasks
  poll frequency (hung task check is expensive relative to softlock watchdog)

* hung task check to be zero over-head when disabled at run-time
