posix_cpu_timers: consolidate timer list cleanups

posix-timers: correctly get dying task time sample in posix_cpu_timer_schedule()

In order to re-arm a timer after it fired, we take a sample of the current
process or thread cputime.

If the task is dying though, we don't arm anything but we cache the
remaining timer expiration delta for further reads.

Something similar is performed in posix_cpu_timer_get() but here we forget
to take the process wide cputime sample before caching it.

As a result we are storing random stack content, leading every further
reads of that timer to return junk values.

Fix this by taking the appropriate sample in the case of process wide
timers.

This probably doesn't matter much in practice because, at this stage, the
thread is the last one in the group and we reached exit_notify().  This
implies that we called exit_itimers() and there should be no more timers
to handle for that task.

So this is likely dead code anyway but let's fix the current logic
and the warning that came along:

    kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c: In function 'posix_cpu_timer_schedule':
    kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c:1127: warning: 'now' may be used uninitialized in this function

Then we can start to think further about cleaning up that code.

posix_timers: fix racy timer delta caching on task exit

When a task exits, we perform a caching of the remaining cputime delta
before expiring of its timers.

This is done from the following places:

* When the task is reaped. We iterate through its list of
  posix cpu timers and store the remaining timer delta to
  the timer struct instead of the absolute value.
  (See posix_cpu_timers_exit() / posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() )

* When we call posix_cpu_timer_get() or posix_cpu_timer_schedule().
  If the timer's task is considered dying when watched from these
  places, the same conversion from absolute to relative expiry time
  is performed. Then the given task's reference is released.
  (See clear_dead_task() ).

The relevance of this caching is questionable but this is another
and deeper debate.

The big issue here is that these two sources of caching don't mix
up very well together.

More specifically, the caching can easily be done twice, resulting
in a wrong delta as it gets spuriously substracted a second time by
the elapsed clock. This can happen in the following scenario:

1) The task exits and gets reaped: we call posix_cpu_timers_exit()
   and the absolute timer expiry values are converted to a relative
   delta.

2) timer_gettime() -> posix_cpu_timer_get() is called and relies on
   clear_dead_task() because  tsk->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD.
   The delta gets substracted again by the elapsed clock and we return
   a wrong result.

To fix this, just remove the caching done on task reaping time.  It
doesn't bring much value on its own.  The caching done from
posix_cpu_timer_get/schedule is enough.

And it would also be hard to get it really right: we could make it put and
clear the target task in the timer struct so that readers know if they are
dealing with a relative cached of absolute value.  But it would be racy.
The only safe way to do it would be to lock the itimer->it_lock so that we
know nobody reads the cputime expiry value while we modify it and its
target task reference.  Doing so would involve some funny workarounds to
avoid circular lock against the sighand lock.  There is just no reason to
maintain this.

The user visible effect of this patch can be observed by running the
following code: it creates a subthread that launches a posix cputimer
which expires after 10 seconds. But then the subthread only busy loops for 2
seconds and exits. The parent reaps the subthread and read the timer value.
Its expected value should the be the initial timer's expiration value
minus the cputime elapsed in the subthread. Roughly 10 - 2 = 8 seconds:

	#include <sys/time.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <time.h>
	#include <pthread.h>

	static timer_t id;
	static struct itimerspec val = { .it_value.tv_sec = 10, }, new;

	static void *thread(void *unused)
	{
		int err;
		struct timeval start, end, diff;

		timer_create(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, NULL, &id);
		if (err < 0) {
			perror("Can't create timer\n");
			return NULL;
		}

		/* Arm 10 sec timer */
		err = timer_settime(id, 0, &val, NULL);
		if (err < 0) {
			perror("Can't set timer\n");
			return NULL;
		}

		/* Exit after 2 seconds of execution */
		gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
	        do {
			gettimeofday(&end, NULL);
			timersub(&end, &start, &diff);
		} while (diff.tv_sec < 2);

		return NULL;
	}

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		pthread_t pthread;
		int err;

		err = pthread_create(&pthread, NULL, thread, NULL);
		if (err) {
			perror("Can't create thread\n");
			return -1;
		}
		pthread_join(pthread, NULL);
		/* Just wait a little bit to make sure the child got reaped */
		sleep(1);
		err = timer_gettime(id, &new);
		if (err)
			perror("Can't get timer value\n");
		printf("%d %ld\n", new.it_value.tv_sec, new.it_value.tv_nsec);

		return 0;
	}

Before the patch:

       $ ./posix_cpu_timers
       6 2278074

After the patch:

      $ ./posix_cpu_timers
      8 1158766

Before the patch, the elapsed time got two more seconds spuriously accounted.

resource: add release_mem_region_adjustable()

Add release_mem_region_adjustable(), which releases a requested region
from a currently busy memory resource.  This interface adjusts the
matched memory resource accordingly even if the requested region does
not match exactly but still fits into.

This new interface is intended for memory hot-delete.  During bootup,
memory resources are inserted from the boot descriptor table, such as
EFI Memory Table and e820.  Each memory resource entry usually covers
the whole contigous memory range.  Memory hot-delete request, on the
other hand, may target to a particular range of memory resource, and its
size can be much smaller than the whole contiguous memory.  Since the
existing release interfaces like __release_region() require a requested
region to be exactly matched to a resource entry, they do not allow a
partial resource to be released.

This new interface is restrictive (i.e.  release under certain
conditions), which is consistent with other release interfaces,
__release_region() and __release_resource().  Additional release
conditions, such as an overlapping region to a resource entry, can be
supported after they are confirmed as valid cases.

There is no change to the existing interfaces since their restriction is
valid for I/O resources.

The reason why the messages are shown is to release a resource
structure, allocated by bootmem, by kfree().  So when we release a
resource structure, we should check whether it is allocated by bootmem
or not.

But even if we know a resource structure is allocated by bootmem, we
cannot release it since SLxB cannot treat it.  So for reusing a resource
structure, this patch remembers it by using bootmem_resource as follows:

When releasing a resource structure by free_resource(), free_resource()
checks whether the resource structure is allocated by bootmem or not.
If it is allocated by bootmem, free_resource() adds it to
bootmem_resource.  If it is not allocated by bootmem, free_resource()
release it by kfree().

And when getting a new resource structure by get_resource(),
get_resource() checks whether bootmem_resource has released resource
structures or not.  If there is a released resource structure,
get_resource() returns it.  If there is not a releaed resource
structure, get_resource() returns new resource structure allocated by
kzalloc().

ACPI/APEI: Add parameter check before error injection

When param1 is enabled in EINJ but not assigned with a valid
value, sometimes it will cause the error like below:

APEI: Can not request [mem 0x7aaa7000-0x7aaa7007] for APEI EINJ Trigger registers

It is because some firmware will access target address specified in
param1 to trigger the error when injecting memory error. This will
cause resource conflict with regular memory. So It must be removed
from trigger table resources, but incorrect param1/param2
combination will stop this action. Add extra check to avoid
this kind of error.
