f701e5b73a connector: add an event for monitoring process tracers
This change adds a procfs connector event, which is emitted on every
successful process tracer attach or detach.

If some process connects to other one, kernelspace connector reports
process id and thread group id of both these involved processes. On
disconnection null process id is returned.

Such an event allows to create a simple automated userspace mechanism
to be aware about processes connecting to others, therefore predefined
process policies can be applied to them if needed.

Note, a detach signal is emitted only in case, if a tracer process
explicitly executes PTRACE_DETACH request. In other cases like tracee
or tracer exit detach event from proc connector is not reported.

04f482faf5 connector: convert to synchronous netlink message processing
Commits 01a16b21 (netlink: kill eff_cap from struct netlink_skb_parms)
and c53fa1ed (netlink: kill loginuid/sessionid/sid members from struct
netlink_skb_parms) removed some members from struct netlink_skb_parms
that depend on the current context, all netlink users are now required
to do synchronous message processing.

connector however queues received messages and processes them in a work
queue, which is not valid anymore. This patch converts connector to do
synchronous message processing by invoking the registered callback handler
directly from the netlink receive function.

In order to avoid invoking the callback with connector locks held, a
reference count is added to struct cn_callback_entry, the reference
is taken when finding a matching callback entry on the device's queue_list
and released after the callback handler has been invoked.

6cebb17bee connector: remove lazy workqueue creation
Commit 1a5645bc (connector: create connector workqueue only while
needed once) implements lazy workqueue creation for connector
workqueue.  With cmwq now in place, lazy workqueue creation doesn't
make much sense while adding a lot of complexity.  Remove it and
allocate an ordered workqueue during initialization.

This also removes a call to flush_scheduled_work() which is deprecated
and scheduled to be removed.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
(un)registered events from connector.
Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base
and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some
other clients were (un)registered.

Kudos for Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.de>, who found a bug in the
code.

02b51df1b0 proc connector: add event for process becoming session leader
The act of a process becoming a session leader is a useful signal to a
supervising init daemon such as Upstart.

While a daemon will normally do this as part of the process of becoming a
daemon, it is rare for its children to do so.  When the children do, it is
nearly always a sign that the child should be considered detached from the
parent and not supervised along with it.

The poster-child example is OpenSSH; the per-login children call setsid()
so that they may control the pty connected to them.  If the primary daemon
dies or is restarted, we do not want to consider the per-login children
and want to respawn the primary daemon without killing the children.

This patch adds a new PROC_SID_EVENT and associated structure to the
proc_event event_data union, it arranges for this to be emitted when the
special PIDTYPE_SID pid is set.

0741241c6b connector: make callback argument type explicit
The connector documentation states that the argument to the callback
function is always a pointer to a struct cn_msg, but rather than encode it
in the API itself, it uses a void pointer everywhere.  This doesn't make
much sense to encode the pointer in documentation as it prevents proper C
type checking from occurring and can easily allow people to use the wrong
pointer type.  So convert the argument type to an explicit struct cn_msg
pointer.

1a5645bc90 connector: create connector workqueue only while needed once
The netlink connector uses its own workqueue to relay the datas sent
from userspace to the appropriate callback.  If you launch the test
from Documentation/connector and change it a bit to send a high flow
of data, you will see thousands of events coming to the "cqueue"
workqueue by looking at the workqueue tracer.

This flow of events can be sent very quickly. So, to not encumber the
kevent workqueue and delay other jobs, the "cqueue" workqueue should
remain.

But this workqueue is pointless most of the time, it will always be
created (assuming you have built it of course) although only
developpers with specific needs will use it.

So avoid this "most of the time useless task", this patch proposes to
create this workqueue only when needed once.  The first jobs to be
sent to connector callbacks will be sent to kevent while the "cqueue"
thread creation will be scheduled to kevent too.

The following jobs will continue to be scheduled to keventd until the
cqueue workqueue is created, and then the rest of the jobs will
continue to perform as usual, through this dedicated workqueue.

Each time I tested this patch, only the first event was sent to
keventd, the rest has been sent to cqueue which have been created
quickly.

Also, this patch fixes some trailing whitespaces on the connector files.

a0a61a604c CONNECTOR: add a proc entry to list connectors
I got a problem when I wanted to check if the kernel supports process
event connector, and It seems there's no way to do this check.

At best I can check if the kernel supports connector or not, by looking
into /proc/net/netlink, or maybe checking the return value of bind() to
see if it's ENOENT.

So it would be useful to add /proc/net/connector to list all supported
connectors:
 # cat /proc/net/connector
 Name            ID
 connector       4294967295:4294967295

cd40b7d398 [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.

The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.

Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.

This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.

Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.

EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

b4b510290b [NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlink
Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
this includes the controlling kernel sockets.

This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace.  Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.

As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.

The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.

af3e095a1f [PATCH] connector: some fixes for ia64 unaligned access errors
On ia64, the various functions that make up cn_proc.c cause kernel
unaligned access errors.

If you are using these, for example, to get notification about all tasks
forking and exiting, you get multiple unaligned access errors per process.

Use put_unaligned() in the appropriate palces to fix this.

822cfbff2e [PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestamp
Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary
compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field
(struct timespec) is not arch independent.  This affects the fields that
follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes.

This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels
on ppc64, s390, x86-64..  any "biarch" system.

Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier.  We have
since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov.

This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which
stores the number of nanoseconds.

Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit
application and on a i386 system.
