lib: use generic pci_iomap on all architectures
Many architectures don't want to pull in iomap.c,
so they ended up duplicating pci_iomap from that file.
That function isn't trivial, and we are going to modify it
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/14/183
so the duplication hurts.
This reduces the scope of the problem significantly,
by moving pci_iomap to a separate file and
referencing that from all architectures.

do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop: map task's uid to parent's

ptrace_signal maps parent's uid into current's user namespace before
including in signal to current. IIUC Oleg has argued that this shouldn't
matter as the debugger will play with it, but it seems like not converting
the value currently being set is misleading.
Changelog:
Sep 20: Inspired by Oleg's suggestion, define map_cred_ns() helper to
simplify callers and help make clear what we are translating
(which uid into which namespace). Passing the target task would
make callers even easier to read, but we pass in user_ns because
current_user_ns() != task_cred_xxx(current, user_ns).
Sep 20: As recommended by Oleg, also put task_pid_vnr() under rcu_read_lock
in ptrace_signal().
Sep 23: In send_signal(), detect when (user) signal is coming from an
ancestor or unrelated user namespace. Pass that on to __send_signal,
which sets si_uid to 0 or overflowuid if needed.
Oct 12: Base on Oleg's fixup_uid() patch. On top of that, handle all
SI_FROMKERNEL cases at callers, because we can't assume sender is
current in those cases.

alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs

procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options
Add support for mount options to restrict access to /proc/PID/
directories. The default backward-compatible "relaxed" behaviour is left
untouched.
The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much
info about processes we want to be available for non-owners:
hidepid=0 (default) means the old behavior - anybody may read all
world-readable /proc/PID/* files.
hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but
their own. Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected
against other users. As permission checking done in proc_pid_permission()
and files' permissions are left untouched, programs expecting specific
files' modes are not confused.
hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to other
users. It doesn't mean that it hides whether a process exists (it can be
learned by other means, e.g. by kill -0 $PID), but it hides process' euid
and egid. It compicates intruder's task of gathering info about running
processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated privileges, whether
another user runs some sensitive program, whether other users run any
program at all, etc.
gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info
(as in hidepid=0 mode). This group should be used instead of putting
nonroot user in sudoers file or something. However, untrusted users (like
daemons, etc.) which are not supposed to monitor the tasks in the whole
system should not be added to the group.
hidepid=1 or higher is designed to restrict access to procfs files, which
might reveal some sensitive private information like precise keystrokes
timings:
hidepid=1/2 doesn't break monitoring userspace tools. ps, top, pgrep, and
conky gracefully handle EPERM/ENOENT and behave as if the current user is
the only user running processes. pstree shows the process subtree which
contains "pstree" process.
Note: the patch doesn't deal with setuid/setgid issues of keeping
preopened descriptors of procfs files (like
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/7/368). We rely on that the leaked
information like the scheduling counters of setuid apps doesn't threaten
anybody's privacy - only the user started the setuid program may read the
counters.

procfs: introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory
This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains
symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is
"vma->vm_start-vma->vm_end", the target is the file. Opening a symlink
results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one.
For example the ls -l of some arbitrary /proc/<pid>/map_files/
1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped
by particular region. We do this by opening
/proc/$pid/map_files/$address symlink the way we do with file
descriptors.
2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are
shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them.
3. When restoring a set of processes in case two of them has a mapping
shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its
/proc/$pid/map_files/$address file and map it by the 2nd task.
Using /proc/$pid/maps for this is quite inconvenient since it brings
repeatable re-reading and reparsing for this text file which slows down
restore procedure significantly. Also as being pointed in (3) it is a way
easier to use top level shared mapping in children as
/proc/$pid/map_files/$address when needed.

The deadlock shouldn't happen since we are doing that allocation in the

btree: export btree_get_prev() so modules can use btree_for_each
The btree_for_each API is implemented with macros that internally call
btree_get_prev(), so if btree_get_prev() isn't exported then modules fail
to link if they try to use one of the btree_for_each macros. Since the
rest of the btree API is exported, we should keep things orthogonal and

mempool: fix first round failure behavior
mempool modifies gfp_mask so that the backing allocator doesn't try too
hard or trigger warning message when there's pool to fall back on. In
addition, for the first try, it removes __GFP_WAIT and IO, so that it
doesn't trigger reclaim or wait when allocation can be fulfilled from
pool; however, when that allocation fails and pool is empty too, it waits
for the pool to be replenished before retrying.
Allocation which could have succeeded after a bit of reclaim has to wait
on the reserved items and it's not like mempool doesn't retry with
__GFP_WAIT and IO. It just does that *after* someone returns an element,
pointlessly delaying things.
Fix it by retrying immediately if the first round of allocation attempts
w/o __GFP_WAIT and IO fails.

mempool_destroy() is a thin wrapper around free_pool(). The only thing it

to enforce that all allocated elements are freed; however, the BUG_ON()
can't achieve that (it doesn't know anything about objects above min_nr)
and incorrect as mempool_resize() is allowed to leave the pool extended
but not filled. Furthermore, panicking is way worse than any memory leak

Drop the BUG_ON() from mempool_destory() and as that leaves the function
identical to free_pool(), replace it.

mempool: fix and document synchronization and memory barrier usage
mempool_alloc/free() use undocumented smp_mb()'s. The code is slightly
broken and misleading.
The lockless part is in mempool_free(). It wants to determine whether the
item being freed needs to be returned to the pool or backing allocator
without grabbing pool->lock. Two things need to be guaranteed for correct
operation.
1. pool->curr_nr + #allocated should never dip below pool->min_nr.
2. Waiters shouldn't be left dangling.
For #1, The only necessary condition is that curr_nr visible at free is
from after the allocation of the element being freed (details in the
comment). For most cases, this is true without any barrier but there can
be fringe cases where the allocated pointer is passed to the freeing task
without going through memory barriers. To cover this case, wmb is
necessary before returning from allocation and rmb is necessary before
reading curr_nr. IOW,
ALLOCATING TASK FREEING TASK
update pool state after alloc;
wmb();
pass pointer to freeing task;
read pointer;
rmb();
read pool state to free;
The current code doesn't have wmb after pool update during allocation and
may theoretically, on machines where unlock doesn't behave as full wmb,
lead to pool depletion and deadlock. smp_wmb() needs to be added after
successful allocation from reserved elements and smp_mb() in
mempool_free() can be replaced with smp_rmb().
For #2, the waiter needs to add itself to waitqueue and then check the
wait condition and the waker needs to update the wait condition and then
wake up. Because waitqueue operations always go through full spinlock
synchronization, there is no need for extra memory barriers.
Furthermore, mempool_alloc() is already holding pool->lock when it decides
that it needs to wait. There is no reason to do unlock - add waitqueue -
test condition again. It can simply add itself to waitqueue while holding
pool->lock and then unlock and sleep.
This patch adds smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool,
replaces smp_mb() in mempool_free() with smp_rmb() and extend pool->lock
over waitqueue addition. More importantly, it explains what memory
barriers do and how the lockless testing is correct.
-v2: Oleg pointed out that unlock doesn't imply wmb. Added explicit
smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool and
updated comments accordingly.
