Commit 5a6fe125 brought hugetlbfs more
in line with the core VM by obeying VM_NORESERVE and not reserving
hugepages for both shared and private mappings when [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE
are specified.  However, it is still taking filesystem quota
unconditionally.

At fault time, if there are no reserves and attempt is made to allocate
the page and account for filesystem quota.  If either fail, the fault
fails.  The impact is that quota is getting accounted for twice.  This
patch partially reverts 5a6fe125

.  To
help prevent this mistake happening again, it improves the documentation
of hugetlb_reserve_pages()

In dasd_device_set_timer and dasd_block_set_timer we interpret the
return value of mod_timer in a wrong way. If the timer expires in
the small window between our check of timer_pending and the call to
mod_timer, then the timer will be set, mod_timer returns zero and
we will call add_timer for a timer that is already pending.
As del_timer and mod_timer do all the necessary checking themselves,
we can simplify our code and remove the race a the same time.

I noticed by pure accident we have ptrace_fork() and friends. This was
added by "x86, bts: add fork and exit handling", commit
bf53de90

.

I can't test this, ds_request_bts() returns -EOPNOTSUPP, but I strongly
believe this needs the fix. I think something like this program

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid = fork();

		if (!pid) {
			ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, NULL, NULL);
			kill(getpid(), SIGSTOP);
			fork();
		} else {
			struct ptrace_bts_config bts = {
				.flags = PTRACE_BTS_O_ALLOC,
				.size  = 4 * 4096,
			};

			wait(NULL);

			ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, NULL, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK);
			ptrace(PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG, pid, &bts, sizeof(bts));
			ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, NULL, NULL);

			sleep(1);
		}

		return 0;
	}

should crash the kernel.

If the task is traced by its natural parent ptrace_reparented() returns 0
but we should clear ->btsxxx anyway.

When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous
shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that
should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve
with VM_NORESERVE.

Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages
due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and
private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated
during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the
future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed.

As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page
size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would
double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may
be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs
at the risk of getting ...

Impact: fix to prevent a kernel crash on fault

If for some reason the pointer to the parent function on the
stack takes a fault, the fix up code will not return back to
the original faulting code. This can lead to unpredictable
results and perhaps even a kernel panic.

A fault should not happen, but if it does, we should simply
disable the tracer, warn, and continue running the kernel.
It should not lead to a kernel crash.

The new legacy_mem file in sysfs is causing problems with X on machines
that don't support legacy memory access. The way I initially implemented
it, we would fail with -ENXIO when trying to mmap it, thus exposing to
X that we do support the API but there is no legacy memory.

Unfortunately, X poor error handling is causing it to fail to start when
it gets this error.

This implements a workaround hack that instead maps anonymous memory
instead (using shmem if VM_SHARED is set, just like /dev/zero does).

do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that
it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long
argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero
argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless
of configuration in the current code.

This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like
other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with
pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate()
like normal C functions do.  This way, unless gcc makes a copy of
struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is
correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler
used.

This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it
somewhat working.
