Rename div64_64 to div64_u64 to make it consistent with the other divide
functions, so it clearly includes the type of the divide. Move its definition
to math64.h as currently no architecture overrides the generic implementation.
They can still override it of course, but the duplicated declarations are
avoided.

currently cpu hotplug (unplug) seems broken on s390 and likely others. On cpu
unplug the system starts to behave very strange and hangs.
I bisected the problem to the following commit:
commit 48f20a9a9488c432fc86df1ff4b7f4fa895d1183
Author: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
Date: Tue Mar 4 15:23:25 2008 -0800
tasklets: execute tasklets in the same order they were queued
Reverting this patch seems to fix the problem. I looked into takeover_tasklet
and it seems that there is a way to corrupt the tail pointer of the current
cpu. If the tasklet list of the frozen cpu is empty, the tail pointer of the
current cpu points to the address of the head pointer of the stopped cpu and
not to the next pointer of a tasklet_struct.
This patch avoids the list splice of the list is empty and cpu hotplug seems
to work as the tail pointer is not corrupted. Olof, can you look into that
patch and ACK/NACK it so Andrew can push this to Linus, if appropriate?
Please note that some lines are longer than 80 chars, but line-wrapping looked
worse that this version.

__find_symbol() has grown over time: there are now 5 different arrays
of symbols it traverses. It also shouldn't print out a warning on
some calls (ie. verify_symbol which simply checks for name clashes,
and __symbol_put which checks for bugs).
1) Rename to find_symbol: no need for underscores.
2) Use bool and add "warn" parameter to suppress warnings.
3) Make table-driven rather than open coded.

Note: this assumes that memset(*atomic_t, 0) correctly initialises the

These values represent the nesting level of a namespace and pids living in it,
and it's always non-negative.
Turning this from int to unsigned int saves some space in pid.c (11 bytes on
x86 and 64 on ia64) by letting the compiler optimize the pid_nr_ns a bit.
E.g. on ia64 this removes the sign extension calls, which compiler adds to
optimize access to pid->nubers[ns->level].

Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea.
Without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp() can return NULL if the
caller races with setprgp()/setsid() which does detach_pid() + attach_pid().
This can happen even if task == current.
Intoduce the new helper, change_pid(), which should be used instead. This way
the caller always sees the special pid != NULL, either old or new.
Also change the prototype of attach_pid(), it always returns 0 and nobody
check the returned value.

Based on Eric W. Biederman's idea.
Unless task == current, without tasklist_lock held task_session()/task_pgrp()
can return NULL if the caller races with de_thread() which switches the group
leader.
Change transfer_pid() to not clear old->pids[type].pid for the old leader.
This means that its .pid can point to "nowhere", but this is already true for
sub-threads, and the old leader is not group_leader() any longer. IOW, with
or without this change we can't trust task's special pids unless it is the
group leader.
With this change the following code
rcu_read_lock();
task = find_task_by_xxx();
do_something(task_pgrp(task), task_session(task));
rcu_read_unlock();
can't race with exec and hit the NULL pid.

There are some places that are known to operate on tasks'
global pids only:
* the rest_init() call (called on boot)
* the kgdb's getthread
* the create_kthread() (since the kthread is run in init ns)
So use the find_task_by_pid_ns(..., &init_pid_ns) there
and schedule the find_task_by_pid for removal.

The pid to lookup a task by is passed inside taskstats code via genetlink
message.
Since netlink packets are now processed in the context of the sending task,
this is correct to lookup the task with find_task_by_vpid() here.
Besides, I fix the call to fill_pid() from taskstats_exit(), since the
tsk->pid is not required in fill_pid() in this case, and the pid field on
task_struct is going to be deprecated as well.

Afaics, currently there are no kernel problems with ptracing init, it can't
lose SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag and be killed/stopped by accident.
The ability to strace/debug init can be very useful if you try to figure out
why it does not work as expected.
However, admin should know what he does, "gdb /sbin/init 1" stops init, it
can't reap orphaned zombies or take care of /etc/inittab until continued. It
is even possible to crash init (and thus the whole system) if you wish,
ptracer has full control.

Currently the buggy /sbin/init hangs if SIGSEGV/etc happens. The kernel sends
the signal, init dequeues it and ignores, returns from the exception, repeats
the faulting instruction, and so on forever.
Imho, such a behaviour is not good. I think that the explicit loud death of
the buggy /sbin/init is better than the silent hang.

The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal
signals.
- The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver()
protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal
signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread.
If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not
right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader),
this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have.
- Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this
is just wrong.
Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems. It also helps
to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches.
Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used
by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits.

This wasn't documented, but as Atsushi Tsuji pointed out
check_kill_permission() needs tasklist_lock for task_session_nr(). I missed
this fact when removed tasklist from the callers.
Change check_kill_permission() to take tasklist_lock for the SIGCONT case.
Re-order security checks so that we take tasklist_lock only if/when it is
actually needed. This is a minimal fix for now, tasklist will be removed
later.
Also change the code to use task_session() instead of task_session_nr().
Also, remove the SIGCONT check from cap_task_kill(), it is bogus (and the
whole function is bogus. Serge, Eric, why it is still alive?).

Rename handle_stop_signal() to prepare_signal(), make it return a boolean, and
move the callsites of sig_ignored() into it.
No functional changes for now. But it would be nice to factor out the "should
we drop this signal" checks as much as possible, before we try to fix the bugs
with the sub-namespace init's signals (actually the global /sbin/init has some
problems with signals too).

Move the callsite of print_fatal_signal() down, under "if
(sig_kernel_coredump(signr))", so we don't need to check signr != SIGKILL.
We are only interested in the sig_kernel_coredump() signals anyway, and due to
the previous changes we almost never can see other fatal signals here except
SIGKILL.

handle_stop_signal() clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED when sig == SIGKILL. Remove
this nasty special case. It was needed to prevent the race with group stop
and exit caused by thread-specific SIGKILL. Now that we use complete_signal()
for private signals too this is not needed, complete_signal() will notice
SIGKILL and abort the soon-to-begin group stop.
Except: the target thread is dead (has PF_EXITING). But in that case we
should not just clear SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED and nothing more. We should either
kill the whole thread group, or silently ignore the signal.
I suspect we are not right wrt zombie leaders, but this is another issue which
and should be fixed separately. Note that this check can't abort the group
stop if it was already started/finished, this check only adds a subtle side
effect if we race with the thread which has already dequeued sig_kernel_stop()
signal and temporary released ->siglock.

We export send_sigqueue() and send_group_sigqueue() for the only user,
posix_timer_event(). This is a bit silly, because both are just trivial
helpers on top of do_send_sigqueue() and because the we pass the unused
.si_signo parameter.
Kill them both, rename do_send_sigqueue() to send_sigqueue(), and export it.

Suggested by Pavel Emelyanov.
send_sigqueue/send_group_sigqueue are only differ in how they lock ->siglock.
Unify them. send_group_sigqueue() uses spin_lock() because it knows the task
can't exit, but in that case lock_task_sighand() can't fail and doesn't hurt.
Note that the "sig" argument is ignored, it is always equal to ->si_signo.

Factor out complete_signal() callsites. This change completely unifies the
helpers sending the specific/group signals.
