Enable multiple instances of devpts

To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such
that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys
allocated in other instances of devpts.

But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple
instances only if:

- CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and
- '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts

To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could:

$ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash
$ umount /dev/pts
$ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
$ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
$ /usr/sbin/sshd -p 1234

where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
the original mount of /dev/pts.

USER-SPACE-IMPACT:
- See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user-
  space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation.
TODO:
- Update mount(8), pts(4) man pages. Highlight impact of not

Define mknod_ptmx()

/dev/ptmx is closely tied to the devpts filesystem. An open of /dev/ptmx,
allocates the next pty index and the associated device shows up in the
devpts fs as /dev/pts/n.

Wih multiple instancs of devpts filesystem, during an open of /dev/ptmx
we would be unable to determine which instance of the devpts is being
accessed.

So we move the 'ptmx' node into /dev/pts and use the inode of the 'ptmx'
node to identify the superblock and hence the devpts instance.  This patch
adds ability for the kernel to internally create the [ptmx, c, 5:2] device
when mounting devpts filesystem.  Since the ptmx node in devpts is new and
may surprise some userspace scripts, the default permissions for the new
node is 0000.  These permissions can be changed either using chmod or by
remounting with the new '-o ptmxmode=0666' mount option.

Changelog[v5]:
- [Serge Hallyn bugfix]: Letting new_inode() assign inode number to
  ptmx can collide with hand-assigning inode numbers to ptys. So,
  hand-assign specific inode number to ptmx node also.
- [Serge Hallyn]: Maybe safer to grab root dentry mutex while creating
  ptmx node
- [Bugfix with Serge Hallyn] Replace lookup_one_len() in mknod_ptmx()
  wih d_alloc_name() (lookup during ->get_sb() locks up system). To
  simplify patchset, fold the ptmx_dentry patch into this.

Changelog[v4]:
- Change default permissions of pts/ptmx node to 0000.
- Move code for ptmxmode under #ifdef CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES.

Changelog[v3]:
- Rename ptmx_mode to ptmxmode (for consistency with 'newinstance')

Changelog[v2]:
- [H. Peter Anvin] Remove mknod() system call support and create the
  ptmx node internally.

Changelog[v1]:
- Earlier version of this patch enabled creating /dev/pts/tty as
  well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not
  really necessary.

n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_tty

Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when
the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens
frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C)
and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline.

Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all
ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters).  Along with the
loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between
tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately
written to the tty driver.

The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need
to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column
position).  This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output,
since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written.

Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code
to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the
Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks.

Highlights are:

* Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full
  - continuous program output can block echo
* Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S)
  - (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output)
* Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not
  split up by interleaved program output
* Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to
  the tty driver
* Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline

Blackfin Serial Driver: fix bug - SIR driver stop receiving randomly

Bug description:
The IRDA receiver may can't receiving any more after processed some signals.

To duplicate this issue is put three IRDA devices together, one blackfin,
two none blackfin, they will detect each other. Let one none blackfin devices
irdaping the blackfin devices, when it stopped print out ping information,
it is the time that blackfin stoped receiving, the time is random.

The related register bit is OK, the other devices is sending data continuously.
But no interrupt come.

Fixing:
I tried Michael's suggestion that request the UARTx error interrupt, and reset
the IRDA when found FE error. This method helps much, but it can't completely
avoid stop.

Reset the IRDA before every time sending the data is more safe.

ide-floppy: allocate only toplevel packet commands

This makes the top-level function just allocate a single pc entry, and then
pass it down as a pointer to all the helper functions that also need one
of those "struct ide_atapi_pc" things. As far as I can tell, the use of
these things never overlaps each other, BUT I DID NOT CHECK VERY CLOSELY!

So I'm not guaranteeing this is correct, and I don't have the hardware. It
would be good for somebody who knows the code more, and has the hardware,
could please test this?

With this, ide-floppy still has fairly big stack usage, but instead of

idefloppy_ioctl [vmlinux]:              1208
ide_floppy_get_capacity [vmlinux]:      872
idefloppy_release [vmlinux]:            408
idefloppy_open [vmlinux]:               408

where those two first ones are at the very top of the list of stack users
for me, it's now

ide_floppy_get_capacity [vmlinux]:           404
ide_floppy_ioctl [vmlinux]:                  364

ie they are still high, but they are no longer at the top.

Borislav: Since ide_floppy_get_capacity is passed as a function pointer to other
parts of the kernel (e.g., block layer) we need that ide_atapi_pc to be created
on stack. Also, redid stack users numbers above. The two functions missing from
Linus' original 'make stackusage' output are due to ide being
rewritten/reorganized atm.

Nick Piggin [Mon, 1 Dec 2008 08:33:43 +0000 (09:33 +0100)] 
shrink struct dentry

struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's
sad to see it going neglected.

With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least
for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here
(64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab.

I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline
name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This
shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the
length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on...

I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant:
why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash
size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast
dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how
can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after
get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection.

At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system
with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get
nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry
will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it
would require 4.

I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the
reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast
to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and
faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are
<= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for
33-36 byte names.

fs: reorder struct inotify_device on 64bits to remove padding

Reorder struct inotify_device to remove 8 bytes of padding on 64bit
builds, reducing size to 128 bytes . Therefore allocating from a smaller
slab & using one fewer cachelines.

Hi,
patch against 2.6.28-rc7.
built & tested on AMDX2 desktop.

I've not been able to send this to the listed inotify maintainers, I
just get mail failures. So I guessed filesystem was the best home for
it, hope that's ok.

regards
Richard

introduce new LSM hooks where vfsmount is available.

Add new LSM hooks for path-based checks.  Call them on directory-modifying
operations at the points where we still know the vfsmount involved.
