Using a program like the following:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main() {
id_t id;
siginfo_t infop;
pid_t res;
id = fork();
if (id == 0) { sleep(1); exit(0); }
kill(id, SIGSTOP);
alarm(1);
waitid(P_PID, id, &infop, WCONTINUED);
return 0;
}
to call waitid() on a stopped process results in access to the child task's
credentials without the RCU read lock being held - which may be replaced in the
meantime - eliciting the following warning:
===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]

This is fixed by holding the RCU read lock in wait_task_continued() to ensure
that the task's current credentials aren't destroyed between us reading the
cred pointer and us reading the UID from those credentials.
Furthermore, protect wait_task_stopped() in the same way.
We don't need to keep holding the RCU read lock once we've read the UID from
the credentials as holding the RCU read lock doesn't stop the target task from
changing its creds under us - so the credentials may be outdated immediately
after we've read the pointer, lock or no lock.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

If a video head and keyboard are hooked up, specifying "console=ttyS0"
or similar to use a serial console will not work properly.
The key issue is that we must register all serial console capable
devices with register_console(), otherwise the command line specified
device won't be found. The sun serial drivers would only register
themselves as console devices if the OpenFirmware specified console
device node matched. To fix this part we now unconditionally get
the serial console register by setting serial_drv->cons always.
Secondarily we must not add_preferred_console() using the firmware
provided console setting if the user gaven an override on the kernel
command line using "console=" The "primary framebuffer" matching
logic was always triggering o n openfirmware device node match, make
it not when a command line override was given.

Conflicts in arch/tile/configs/tile_defconfig (pick the mainline version
with the reduced defconfig).
sys_accept4() was added in kernel 2.6.28, but ARM was not updated
to include it. The number and types of parameters is such that
no ARM-specific processing is needed, so wiring up sys_accept4()
just requires defining __NR_accept4 and adding a direct call in
the syscall entry table.
Tested with an EABI 2.6.35 kernel and Ulrich Drepper's original
accept4() test program, modified to define __NR_accept4 for ARM.
Using the updated unistd.h also eliminates a warning then building
glibc (2.10.2 and newer) about accept4() being unimplemented.

This commit makes the stack guard page somewhat less visible to user
space. It does this by:
- not showing the guard page in /proc/<pid>/maps
It looks like lvm-tools will actually read /proc/self/maps to figure
out where all its mappings are, and effectively do a specialized
"mlockall()" in user space. By not showing the guard page as part of
the mapping (by just adding PAGE_SIZE to the start for grows-up
pages), lvm-tools ends up not being aware of it.
- by also teaching the _real_ mlock() functionality not to try to lock
the guard page.
That would just expand the mapping down to create a new guard page,
so there really is no point in trying to lock it in place.
It would perhaps be nice to show the guard page specially in
/proc/<pid>/maps (or at least mark grow-down segments some way), but
let's not open ourselves up to more breakage by user space from programs
that depends on the exact deails of the 'maps' file.
Special thanks to Henrique de Moraes Holschuh for diving into lvm-tools
source code to see what was going on with the whole new warning.
