Impact: fix crashes that can occur in NMI handlers, if their code is modified
Modifying code is something that needs special care. On SMP boxes,
if code that is being modified is also being executed on another CPU,
that CPU will have undefined results.
The dynamic ftrace uses kstop_machine to make the system act like a
uniprocessor system. But this does not address NMIs, that can still
run on other CPUs.
One approach to handle this is to make all code that are used by NMIs
not be traced. But NMIs can call notifiers that spread throughout the
kernel and this will be very hard to maintain, and the chance of missing
a function is very high.
The approach that this patch takes is to have the NMIs modify the code
if the modification is taking place. The way this works is that just
writing to code executing on another CPU is not harmful if what is
written is the same as what exists.
Two buffers are used: an IP buffer and a "code" buffer.
The steps that the patcher takes are:
1) Put in the instruction pointer into the IP buffer
and the new code into the "code" buffer.
2) Set a flag that says we are modifying code
3) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
4) Write the code
5) clear the flag.
6) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
If an NMI is executed, it will also write the pending code.
Multiple writes are OK, because what is being written is the same.
Then the patcher must wait for all running NMIs to finish before
going to the next line that must be patched.
This is basically the RCU approach to code modification.
Thanks to Ingo Molnar for suggesting the idea, and to Arjan van de Ven
for his guidence on what is safe and what is not.

GCC warns because some tests against 32-bit values never evaluate to
true due to how TASK_SIZE is defined.
I always wanted to mimick powerpc's definition of TASK_SIZE, which
is simply TASK_SIZE_OF(current) and that also fixes the warning.

Alexander Beregalov reports oops in __bzero() called from
copy_from_user_fixup() called from iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(),
when running dbench on tmpfs on sparc64: its __copy_from_user_inatomic
and __copy_to_user_inatomic should be avoiding, not calling, the fixups.

Latest mainline gives this section mismatch on sparc:
The function current_pc() references
the variable __init no_sun4u_here.
This is often because current_pc lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of no_sun4u_here is wrong.
Since current_pc() is used only in early time, it is correct to
put it in .init section.

The latest mainline gives this section mismatch on sparc:
The function __devinit apc_probe() references
a variable __initdata apc_no_idle.
If apc_no_idle is only used by apc_probe then
annotate apc_no_idle with a matching annotation.
Since the commit 7e7e2f035663c5ceb029bfb9d91e75099b0a5625,
apc_probe() is on __devinit so we have to correct apc_no_idle
which is referenced by this function.

This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.
The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup. Reading will return the current state.
* Examples of usage :
# mkdir /containers/freezer
# mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers
# mkdir /containers/0
# echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks
to get status of the freezer subsystem :
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
to freeze all tasks in the container :
# echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FREEZING
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FROZEN
to unfreeze all tasks in the container :
# echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.
It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we
return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:
1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
the freezer.state file
2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
and returns EIO)
3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

This patch series introduces a cgroup subsystem that utilizes the swsusp
freezer to freeze a group of tasks. It's immediately useful for batch job
management scripts. It should also be useful in the future for
implementing container checkpoint/restart.
The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a cgroup file
named freezer.state. Reading freezer.state will return the current state
of the cgroup. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.
* Examples of usage :
# mkdir /containers/freezer
# mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers
# mkdir /containers/0
# echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks
to get status of the freezer subsystem :
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
to freeze all tasks in the container :
# echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FREEZING
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FROZEN
to unfreeze all tasks in the container :
# echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
This patch:
The first step in making the refrigerator() available to all
architectures, even for those without power management.
The purpose of such a change is to be able to use the refrigerator() in a
new control group subsystem which will implement a control group freezer.

This requires three changes:
1) Remove !SPARC restriction in Kconfig.
2) Move Sparc specific serial drivers before 8250, so that serial
console devices don't change names on us, even if 8250 finds
devices.
3) Since the Sparc specific serial drivers try to use the
same major/minor device namespace as 8250, some coordination
is necessary. Use the sunserial_*() layer routines to allocate
minor number space within TTY_MAJOR when CONFIG_SPARC.
This has no effect on other platforms.
Thanks to Josip Rodin for bringing up this issue and testing
plus debugging various revisions of this patch.

Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
it right.
