973aa8181e x86-64: Optimize vDSO time()
This function just reads a 64-bit variable that's updated
atomically, so we don't need any locks.

f144a6b4d1 x86-64: Add time to vDSO
The only fast implementation of time(2) we expose is through the
vsyscall page and we want to get userspace to stop using the
vsyscall page.  So make it available through the vDSO as well.

This is essentially a cut-n-paste job.

0f51f2852c x86-64: Vclock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) can't ever see nsec < 0
vclock_gettime's do_monotonic helper can't ever generate a negative
nsec value, so it doesn't need to check whether it's negative.  In
the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE case, ns can't ever exceed 2e9-1, so we
can avoid the loop entirely.  This saves a single easily-predicted
branch.

8c49d9a74b x86-64: Clean up vdso/kernel shared variables
Variables that are shared between the vdso and the kernel are
currently a bit of a mess.  They are each defined with their own
magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page,
and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really
exist.

This changes them all to use a common mechanism.  All of them are
delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker
script).  In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary
read-write variables.  In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are
accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access.

The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups.  As a
side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of
indirection is removed.

While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same
cacheline.

de2a8cf98e x86, gcc-4.6: Use gcc -m options when building vdso
The vdso Makefile passes linker-style -m options not to the linker but
to gcc.  This happens to work with earlier gcc, but fails with gcc
4.6.  Pass gcc-style -m options, instead.

Note: all currently supported versions of gcc supports -m32, so there
is no reason to conditionalize it any more.

should be caught at compile time.  This was giving us trouble when

d7a0380dc3 x86-64, mm: Initialize VDSO earlier on 64 bits
When initrd is in use and a driver does request_module() in its
module_init (i.e. __initcall or device_initcall), a modprobe process
is created with VDSO mapping. But VDSO is inited even in __initcall,
i.e. on the same level (at the same time), so it may not be inited
yet (link order matters).

Move the VDSO initialization code earlier by switching to something
before rootfs_initcall where initrd is loaded as rootfs. Specifically
to subsys_initcall. Do it for standard 64-bit path (init_vdso_vars)
and for compat (sysenter_setup), just in case people have 32-bit
initrd and ia32 emulation built-in.

i386 (pure 32-bit) is not affected, since sysenter_setup() is called
from check_bugs()->identify_boot_cpu() in start_kernel() before
rest_init()->kernel_thread(kernel_init) where even kernel_init() calls
do_basic_setup()->do_initcalls().

What this patch fixes are early modprobe crashes such as:
Unpacking initramfs...
Freeing initrd memory: 9324k freed
modprobe[368]: segfault at 7fff4429c020 ip 00007fef397e160c \

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.

da15cfdae0 time: Introduce CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE
After talking with some application writers who want very fast, but not
fine-grained timestamps, I decided to try to implement new clock_ids
to clock_gettime(): CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE
which returns the time at the last tick. This is very fast as we don't
have to access any hardware (which can be very painful if you're using
something like the acpi_pm clocksource), and we can even use the vdso
clock_gettime() method to avoid the syscall. The only trade off is you
only get low-res tick grained time resolution.

This isn't a new idea, I know Ingo has a patch in the -rt tree that made
the vsyscall gettimeofday() return coarse grained time when the
vsyscall64 sysctrl was set to 2. However this affects all applications
on a system.

With this method, applications can choose the proper speed/granularity
trade-off for themselves.

2f65dd475c x86: gettimeofday() vDSO: fix segfault when tv == NULL
According to the gettimeofday(2) manual:

       If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not
       set or returned.

Since it is legal to give NULL as the tv argument, the code should make
sure tv is not NULL before trying to dereference it.

This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel
command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >=
2.7).  A simple reproducer:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <sys/time.h>

  int main(void)
  {
      struct timezone tz;

      gettimeofday(NULL, &tz);

      return 0;
  }

See http://bugs.debian.org/466491 for more details.

fc5243d98a [S390] arch_setup_additional_pages arguments
arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
be removed without replacement.

What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.

6a52e4b1cd x86_64: further cleanup of 32-bit compat syscall mechanisms
AMD only supports "syscall" from 32-bit compat usermode.
Intel and Centaur(?) only support "sysenter" from 32-bit compat usermode.

Set the X86 feature bits accordingly, and set up the vdso in
accordance with those bits.  On the offchance we run on in a 64-bit
environment which supports neither syscall nor sysenter from 32-bit
mode, then fall back to the int $0x80 vdso.

d9dedc1385 x86_64 vDSO: use initdata
The 64-bit vDSO image is in a special ".vdso" section for no reason
I can determine.  Furthermore, the location of the vdso_end symbol
includes some wrongly-calculated padding space in the image, which
is then (correctly) rounded to page size, resulting in an extra page
of zeros in the image mapped in to user processes.

This changes it to put the vdso.so image into normal initdata as we
have always done for the 32-bit vDSO images.  The extra padding is
gone, so the user VMA is one page instead of two.  The image that
was already copied around at boot time is now in initdata, so we
recover that wasted space after boot.

5de253cc5b x86 vDSO: don't map 32-bit vdso when disabled
We map a VMA for the 32-bit vDSO even when it's disabled, which is stupid.
For the 32-bit kernel it's the vdso_enabled boot parameter/sysctl
and for the 64-bit kernel it's the vdso32 boot parameter/syscall32 sysctl.

When it's disabled, we don't pass AT_SYSINFO_EHDR so processes don't use
the vDSO for anything, but we still map it.  For the non-compat vDSO,
this means we're always putting an extra VMA somewhere, maybe lousing
up the control of the address space the user was hoping for.

Honor the setting by doing nothing in arch_setup_additional_pages.

But that solution too is locale-dependent and may not always match
