28ec039c21 fat: don't use free_clusters for fat32
It seems that the recent Windows changed specification, and it's
undocumented.  Windows doesn't update ->free_clusters correctly.

This patch doesn't use ->free_clusters by default.  (instead, add "usefree"
for forcing to use it)

0bb5e19d63 Clean up mostly unused IOSPACE macros
Most architectures defined three macros, MK_IOSPACE_PFN(), GET_IOSPACE()
and GET_PFN() in pgtable.h.  However, the only callers of any of these
macros are in Sparc specific code, either in arch/sparc, arch/sparc64 or
drivers/sbus.

This patch removes the redundant macros from all architectures except
sparc and sparc64.

28be5abb40 ext3: copy i_flags to inode flags on write
A patch that stores inode flags such as S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc.  from
i_flags to EXT3_I(inode)->i_flags when inode is written to disk.  The same
thing is done on GETFLAGS ioctl.

Quota code changes these flags on quota files (to make it harder for
sysadmin to screw himself) and these changes were not correctly propagated
into the filesystem (especially, lsattr did not show them and users were
wondering...).

Propagate flags such as S_APPEND, S_IMMUTABLE, etc.  from i_flags into
ext3-specific i_flags.  Hence, when someone sets these flags via a
different interface than ioctl, they are stored correctly.

d1ab824be4 Document SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED/RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED deprecation
Apparently it's not cool anymore to use SPIN/RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED.  There's
some mention of this in Documentation/spinlocks.txt, but that only talks
about dynamic initialisation.

A comment in the code mentioning the preferred usage would be good IMHO.

b5e618181a Introduce a handy list_first_entry macro
There are many places in the kernel where the construction like

   foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list);

are used.
The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro

   list_first_entry(head, type, member) \
             list_entry((head)->next, type, member)

Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the generic code.
 If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare the set of patches to
inject in into arch-specific code, drivers, networking, etc.

49a4ec188f fix hotplug for legacy platform drivers
We've had various reports of some legacy "probe the hardware" style
platform drivers having nasty problems with hotplug support.

The core issue is that those legacy drivers don't fully conform to the
driver model.  They assume a role that should be the responsibility of
infrastructure code: creating device nodes.

The "modprobe" step in hotplugging relies on drivers to have split those
roles into different modules.  The lack of this split causes the problems.
When a driver creates nodes for devices that don't exist (sending a hotplug
event), then exits (aborting one modprobe) before the "modprobe $MODALIAS"
step completes (by failing, since it's in the middle of a modprobe), the
result can be an endless loop of modprobe invocations ...  badness.

This fix uses the newish per-device flag controlling issuance of "add"
events.  (A previous version of this patch used a per-device "driver can
hotplug" flag, which only scrubbed $MODALIAS from the environment rather
than suppressing the entire hotplug event.) It also shrinks that flag to
one bit, saving a word in "struct device".

So the net of this patch is removing some nasty failures with legacy
drivers, while retaining hotplug capability for the majority of platform
drivers.

e729aa16b1 Pad irq_desc to internode cacheline size
We noticed a drop in n/w performance due to the irq_desc being cacheline
aligned rather than internode aligned.  We see 50% of expected performance
when two e1000 nics local to two different nodes have consecutive irq
descriptors allocated, due to false sharing.

Note that this patch does away with cacheline padding for the UP case, as
it does not seem useful for UP configurations.

6672f76a5a kdump/kexec: calculate note size at compile time
Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is
set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES.  Which in turn is
currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures.

While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too
small.  The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes.  This
lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would
overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially
by kmalloc, which was often the case.

It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that
the area needs to be.  This patch does just that.

If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is
needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in
arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h.  Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice.  However, I
think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

7328508274 remove artificial software max_loop limit
Remove artificial maximum 256 loop device that can be created due to a
legacy device number limit.  Searching through lkml archive, there are
several instances where users complained about the artificial limit that
the loop driver impose.  There is no reason to have such limit.

This patch rid the limit entirely and make loop device and associated block
queue instantiation on demand.  With on-demand instantiation, it also gives
the benefit of not wasting memory if these devices are not in use (compare
to current implementation that always create 8 loop devices), a net
improvement in both areas.  This version is both tested with creation of
large number of loop devices and is compatible with existing losetup/mount
user land tools.

timers on all cpus to be updated.  This is used to prevent sysrq-t from

Softlockup watchdogs use sched_clock() as its timebase, which is inherently
per-cpu (at least, when it is measuring unstolen time).  Because of this,
it isn't possible for one CPU to directly update the other CPU's timers,
but it is possible to tell the other CPUs to do update themselves
appropriately.

6e453a6751 Add support for deferrable timers
Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally
when system is busy.  But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to
service this timer), when CPU is idle.  Instead, this timer will be
serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable
timer.

The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when
CPU is idle.  If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until
next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer
event for that routine.  This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy,
allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing
unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption.

This patch:

Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure.  It uses
last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable
timer flag.  __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable
timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up.

This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be
called in place of regular init_timer().

1eeb66a1bb move die notifier handling to common code
This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

98a27ba485 tty: introduce no_tty and use it in selinux
While researching the tty layer pid leaks I found a weird case in selinux when
we drop a controlling tty because of inadequate permissions we don't do the
normal hangup processing.  Which is a problem if it happens the session leader
has exec'd something that can no longer access the tty.

We already have code in the kernel to handle this case in the form of the
TIOCNOTTY ioctl.  So this patch factors out a helper function that is the
essence of that ioctl and calls it from the selinux code.

This removes the inconsistency in handling dropping of a controlling tty and
who knows it might even make some part of user space happy because it received
a SIGHUP it was expecting.

In addition since this removes the last user of proc_set_tty outside of
tty_io.c proc_set_tty is made static and removed from tty.h

7c4e95bf48 fix cyclades.h for x86_64 (and probably others)
At least on x86_64 the present cyclades.h is broken due to the wrong size
of uclong.  This affects, of course, both the kernel and the user-level
utilities.  The symptom is that cyzload refuses to load the firmware.  I
also managed to freeze the machine when unloading the module.

The patch below fixes this in an architecture-independent way.  I have
tested it with 2.6.19 and the driver works fine again with a Cyclades-Z on
an Athlon 64 X2.

c23fbb6bcb VFS: delay the dentry name generation on sockets and pipes
1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'.  This method
   called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for
   special filesystems.  It is called without locks.

   Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all
   pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now
   use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen);

2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations

3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket
   creation.  This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
   /proc/pid/fd/...

4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe
   creation.  This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
   /proc/pid/fd/...

A benchmark consisting of 1.000.000 calls to pipe()/close()/close() gives a
*nice* speedup on my Pentium(M) 1.6 Ghz :

3.090 s instead of 3.450 s

79c0b2df79 add filesystem subtype support
There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse
based filesystems.

From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and
fuseblk.  From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem
types.  The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based
or not.  So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be
represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts.

The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount
source.  So an sshfs mount looks like this:

  sshfs#user@server:/   /mnt/server    fuse   rw,nosuid,nodev,...

This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems.  However
for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since
the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name.

A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type
field as "type.subtype".  So fuse mounts would look like this:

  /dev/hda1       /mnt/windows   fuseblk.ntfs-3g   rw,...
  user@server:/   /mnt/server    fuse.sshfs        rw,nosuid,nodev,...

This patch adds the necessary code to the kernel so that this can be
correctly displayed in /proc/mounts.

2e17c5508f init dma masks in pnp_dev
PNP now initializes device dma masks, which prevents oopses when generic
dma calls are made using pnp device nodes.

This assumes PNP only uses ISA DMA, with 24 bit addresses; and that it's
safe to init those masks for all devices (rather than finding out which
devices have been assigned DMA channels, and handling only those).

e3222c4ecc Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handling
sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated
namespaces.  But they have different code paths.

This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone
handling (as much as possible).  Posted on container list earlier for
feedback.

- Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to
  caller to attach it to right process.

- Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace
  instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy.

- Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines.

- Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON()
  just incase.

- Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of
  copy_*_ns() instead.

c761c84154 kconfig: centralize the selection of semaphore debugging in lib/Kconfig.debug
Remove the Kconfig selection of semaphore debugging from the ALPHA and FRV
Kconfig files, and centralize it in lib/Kconfig.debug.

There doesn't seem to be much point in letting individual architectures
independently define the same Kconfig option when it can just as easily be
put in a single Kconfig file and made dependent on a subset of
architectures.  that way, at least the option shows up in the same relative
location in the menu each time.
