      copy_process: fix CLONE_PARENT && parent_exec_id interaction · 2d5516cb
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      CLONE_PARENT can fool the ->self_exec_id/parent_exec_id logic. If we
      re-use the old parent, we must also re-use ->parent_exec_id to make
      sure exit_notify() sees the right ->xxx_exec_id's when the CLONE_PARENT'ed
      task exits.
      
      Also, move down the "p->parent_exec_id = p->self_exec_id" thing, to place
      two different cases together.

      Btrfs: fix spinlock assertions on UP systems · b9447ef8
      Chris Mason authored
      btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was
      properly locked in a few places.  But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled
      kernels.
      
      This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to
      btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used.

      Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
      interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
      process context with interrupts enabled.
      
      So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:
      
      Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
      happens which updates accouting values.  This causes acct_timexpd to be
      greater than the former stime + utime.  The subsequent calculation of
      
      	dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);
      
      will be negative and the division performed by
      
      	cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)
      
      will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
      register.
      
      In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
      of the accounting values.
