System calls with an unsigned long long argument can't be converted with
the standard wrappers since that would include a cast to long, which in
turn means that we would lose the upper 32 bit on 32 bit architectures.
Also semctl can't use the standard wrapper since it has a 'union'
parameter.
So we handle them as special case and add some extra wrappers instead.

Convert all system calls to return a long. This should be a NOP since all
converted types should have the same size anyway.
With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void. But that doesn't
matter since the system call doesn't return.

If a process registers for asynchronous notification on a POSIX message
queue, it gets a signal and a siginfo_t structure when a message arrives
on the message queue. The si_pid in the siginfo_t structure is set to the
PID of the process that sent the message to the message queue.
The principle is the following:
. when mq_notify(SIGEV_SIGNAL) is called, the caller registers for
notification when a msg arrives. The associated pid structure is stroed into
inode_info->notify_owner. Let's call this process P1.
. when mq_send() is called by say P2, P2 sends a signal to P1 to notify
him about msg arrival.
The way .si_pid is set today is not correct, since it doesn't take into account
the fact that the process that is sending the message might not be in the
same namespace as the notified one.
This patch proposes to set si_pid to the sender's pid into the notify_owner
namespace.

Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems:
(1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
shmat's (and forks) done.
(2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
process or a dead process.
A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.
This patch makes the following additional changes:
(1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead,
each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is
interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.
(2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.
(3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may
end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
appended to the sort key.
(4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.
(5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if
necessary.
(6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple
shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.
(7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.
(8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
that aren't actually mapped anywhere.
(9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not
anonymous.
These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

In ipc_addid(), the newly allocated ipc structure is inserted into the

Increase the range of various posix message queue limits.
Posix gives the message queue user the ability to 'trade off' the maximum
size of messages with the number of possible messages that can be 'in
flight'. Linux currently makes this trade off more restrictive than it
needs to be.
In particular, the maximum message size today can be made no smaller than
8192. This greatly restricts those applications that would like to have
the ability to post large numbers of very small messages.
So this task lowers the limit that the maximum message size can be set to,
from 8192 to 128. It also lowers the limit that the maximum #number of
messages in flight can be set to, from 10 to 1.
With these changes the message queue user can make better trade offs
between #messages and message size, in order to get everything to fit
within the setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE) limit for that particular user.
This patch also applies the values in
/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max
/proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max
as the defaults for the max #messages allowed and the max message size
allowed, respectively, for those applications that do not supply these.
Previously, the defaults were hardwired to 10 and 8192, respectively.

Shmem segments locked into memory via shmctl(SHM_LOCKED) should not be
kept on the normal LRU, since scanning them is a waste of time and might
throw off kswapd's balancing algorithms. Place them on the unevictable
LRU list instead.
Use the AS_UNEVICTABLE flag to mark address_space of SHM_LOCKed shared
memory regions as unevictable. Then these pages will be culled off the
normal LRU lists during vmscan.
Add new wrapper function to clear the mapping's unevictable state when/if
shared memory segment is munlocked.
Add 'scan_mapping_unevictable_page()' to mm/vmscan.c to scan all pages in
the shmem segment's mapping [struct address_space] for evictability now
that they're no longer locked. If so, move them to the appropriate zone
lru list.
Changes depend on [CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

This patch proposes an alternative to the "magical
positive-versus-negative number trick" Andrew complained about last week
in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/24/418.
This had been introduced with the patches that scale msgmni to the amount
of lowmem. With these patches, msgmni has a registered notification
routine that recomputes msgmni value upon memory add/remove or ipc
namespace creation/ removal.
When msgmni is changed from user space (i.e. value written to the proc
file), that notification routine is unregistered, and the way to make it
registered back is to write a negative value into the proc file. This is
the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick".
To fix this, a new proc file is introduced: /proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni.
This file acts as ON/OFF for msgmni automatic recomputing.
With this patch, the process is the following:
1) kernel boots in "automatic recomputing mode"
/proc/sys/kernel/msgmni contains the value that has been computed (depends
on lowmem)
/proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni contains "1"
2) echo <val> > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni
. sets msg_ctlmni to <val>
. de-activates automatic recomputing (i.e. if, say, some memory is added
msgmni won't be recomputed anymore)
. /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni now contains "0"
3) echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni
. de-activates msgmni automatic recomputing
this has the same effect as 2) except that msg_ctlmni's value stays
blocked at its current value)
3) echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni
. recomputes msgmni's value based on the current available memory size
and number of ipc namespaces
. re-activates automatic recomputing for msgmni.

The attached patch:
- reverses the locking order of ulp->lock and sem_lock:
Previously, it was first ulp->lock, then inside sem_lock.
Now it's the other way around.
- converts the undo structure to rcu.
Benefits:
- With the old locking order, IPC_RMID could not kfree the undo structures.
The stale entries remained in the linked lists and were released later.
- The patch fixes a a race in semtimedop(): if both IPC_RMID and a semget() that
recreates exactly the same id happen between find_alloc_undo() and sem_lock,
then semtimedop() would access already kfree'd memory.

The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).
The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.
This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.
Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

sysvipc_shm_proc_show() picks between format strings (based on the
expected maximum length of a SHM segment) in a way that prevents gcc from
performing format checks on the seq_printf() parameters. This hid two
format errors - shp->shm_segsz and shp->shm_nattach are both unsigned
long, but were being printed as unsigned int and signed int respectively.
This leads to 32-bit truncation of SHM segment sizes reported in
/proc/sysvipc/shm. (And for nattach, but that's less of a problem for
most users).
This patch makes the format string directly visible to gcc's format
specifier checker, and fixes the two broken format specifiers.

When posting:
[PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem
(see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/11/171), I have added a KERN_INFO message
that is output each time msgmni is recomputed.
In http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/575 Tony Luck complained that this
message references an ipc namespace address that is useless.
I first thought of using an audit_log instead of a printk, as suggested by
Serge Hallyn. But unfortunately, we do not have any other information
than the namespace address to provide here too. So I chose to move the

A very small cleanup for mq_open.
We do not have to call set_close_on_exit if we create the file
descriptor right away with the flag set. We have a function for this
now. The resulting code is smaller and a tiny bit faster.

sys_unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC) doesn't handle the undo lists properly, this can
cause a kernel memory corruption. CLONE_NEWIPC must detach from the existing
undo lists.
Fix, part 1: add support for sys_unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM)
The original reason to not support it was the potential (inevitable?)
confusion due to the fact that sys_unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM) has the
inverse meaning of clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM).
Our two most reasonable options then appear to be (1) fully support
CLONE_SYSVSEM, or (2) continue to refuse explicit CLONE_SYSVSEM,
but always do it anyway on unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM). This patch does
(1).
Changelog:
Apr 16: SEH: switch to Manfred's alternative patch which
removes the unshare_semundo() function which
always refused CLONE_SYSVSEM.
