Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data
element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element
inaccessible to new readers. This is very bad, and results in readers
still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace
period.
Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory
within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five
minutes. Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the
three-to-eight-hour range.
There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and
sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first. It is
therefore no surprise that failures still occur.

fef20d9: vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users
The sign flag has been dropped out in favour of
precise types (ie: LONG/ULONG).
But the format helper number() still needs this flag to keep track of
the signedness unless it will consider all numbers as unsigned.
Also add an explicit cast to int (for %d) while parsing with va_arg()
to ensure the highest bit is well extended on the 64 bits number that
hosts the value in case of negative values.

An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to
make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster.
Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting
job from tracing time to output time.
Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and
insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace
file.
The new implementation stores the address of the format string and
the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact
and faster to insert.
Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved
with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done.
The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from
vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain
in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits.
Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most
possible common bits from these functions.
The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although
they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters
is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see
other parts that could be worth factorized.
Changes in V2:
- Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside
a structure.
Changes in v3:
- Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the
printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string()
Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to
avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the
changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns.
It would be too risky.
- Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains).
- Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p
Changes in v4:
- drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char *
(thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

David points out that the idr_remove_all() function returns unused slabs
to the kmem cache, but needs to zero them first or else they will be
uninitialized upon next use. This causes crashes which have been observed
in the firewire subsystem.
He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all().
But we agree that simply removing the constructor and zeroing the object
at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery
and might even be faster.
This problem was introduced by "idr: make idr_remove rcu-safe" (commit
cf481c20c4), which was first released in
2.6.27.
There are no known codesites which trigger this bug in 2.6.27 or 2.6.28.
The post-2.6.28 firewire changes are the only known triggerer.
There might of course be not-yet-discovered triggerers in 2.6.27 and
2.6.28, and there might be out-of-tree triggerers which are added to those
kernel versions. I'll let the -stable guys decide whether they want to
backport this fix.

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).

A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This
minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add())
