Fix {nf,ip}_ct_iterate_cleanup unconfirmed list handling:
- unconfirmed entries can not be killed manually, they are removed on
confirmation or final destruction of the conntrack entry, which means
we might iterate forever without making forward progress.
This can happen in combination with the conntrack event cache, which
holds a reference to the conntrack entry, which is only released when
the packet makes it all the way through the stack or a different
packet is handled.
- taking references to an unconfirmed entry and using it outside the
locked section doesn't work, the list entries are not refcounted and
another CPU might already be waiting to destroy the entry
What the code really wants to do is make sure the references of the hash
table to the selected conntrack entries are released, so they will be
destroyed once all references from skbs and the event cache are dropped.
Since unconfirmed entries haven't even entered the hash yet, simply mark
them as dying and skip confirmation based on that.

there's a new NMI watchdog related problem: KVM crashes on certain
bzImages because ... we enable the NMI watchdog by default (even if the
user does not ask for it) , and no other OS on this planet does that so
KVM doesnt have emulation for that yet. So KVM injects a #GP, which
crashes the Linux guest:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1]
PREEMPT SMP
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0
EIP: 0060:[<c011a8ae>] Not tainted VLI
EFLAGS: 00000246 (2.6.20-rc5-rt0 #3)
EIP is at setup_apic_nmi_watchdog+0x26d/0x3d3
and no, i did /not/ request an nmi_watchdog on the boot command line!
Solution: turn off that darn thing! It's a debug tool, not a 'make life
harder' tool!!
with this patch the KVM guest boots up just fine.
And with this my laptop (Lenovo T60) also stopped its sporadic hard
hanging (sometimes in acpi_init(), sometimes later during bootup,
sometimes much later during actual use) as well. It hung with both
nmi_watchdog=1 and nmi_watchdog=2, so it's generally the fact of NMI
injection that is causing problems, not the NMI watchdog variant, nor
any particular bootup code.

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.21-rc2-g562aa1d4-dirty #7
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/1282 is trying to acquire lock:
(&cpu_base->lock_key){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f17e>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xc6/0x240
but task is already holding lock:
(&cpu_base->lock_key#2){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f174>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xbc/0x240
which lock already depends on the new lock.
This happens because we have the following code in kernel/hrtimer.c:
migrate_hrtimers(int cpu)
[...]
old_base = &per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu);
new_base = &get_cpu_var(hrtimer_bases);
[...]
spin_lock(&new_base->lock);
spin_lock(&old_base->lock);
Which means the spinlocks are taken in an order which depends on which cpu
gets shut down from which other cpu. Therefore lockdep complains that there
might be an ABBA deadlock. Since migrate_hrtimers() gets only called on
cpu hotplug it's safe to assume that it isn't executed concurrently on a
The same problem exists in kernel/timer.c: migrate_timers().
As pointed out by Christian Borntraeger one possible solution to avoid
the locking order complaints would be to make sure that the locks are
always taken in the same order. E.g. by taking the lock of the cpu with
the lower number first.
To achieve this we introduce two new spinlock functions double_spin_lock
and double_spin_unlock which lock or unlock two locks in a given order.

This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426
The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.
It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.
Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).
This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

This bug means that if a raid6 reshape were aborted in the middle the

Use para_fill instead of directly setting the APIC ops to the result of the

implementing APIC functions, just using the native APIC functions.
While doing this, I realized that there is a lot more cleanup that should have

specific set of functions, and always allow fallback to the native
implementation.

The time_init_hook in paravirt-ops no longer functions in the correct manner
after the integration of the hrtimers code. The problem is that now the call
path for time initialization is:
time_init :
late_time_init = hpet_time_init;
late_time_init -> hpet_time_init:
setup_pit_timer (BAD)
do_time_init --> (via paravirt.h)
time_init_hook --> (via arch_hooks.h)
time_init_hook (in SUBARCH/setup.c)
If this isn't confusing enough, the paravirt case goes through an indirect
function pointer in the paravirt-ops table. The problem is, by the time the
paravirt hook is called, the pit timer is already enabled.
But paravirt guests have their own timer, and don't want to use the PIT.
Rather than intensify the struggle for power going on here, just make it all
nice and simple and just unconditionally do all timer setup in the
late_time_init hook. This also has the advantage of enabling timers in the
same place in all code paths, so everyone has the same bugs and we don't have
outliers who break other code because they turn on timer too early or too
late.
So the paravirt-ops time init function is now by default hpet_time_init, which
is the time init function used for native hardware. Paravirt guests have the
chance to override this when they setup the paravirt-ops table, and should
need no change.

Not respecting udelay causes problems with any virtual hardware that is passed
through to real hardware. This can be noticed by any device that interacts
with the real world in real time - like AP startup, which takes real time. Or
keyboard LEDs, which should blink in real-time. Or floppy drives, but only
when passed through to a real floppy controller on OSes which can't
sufficiently buffer the floppy commands to emulate a zero latency floppy. Or
IDE drives, when connecting to a physical CDROM.
This was mostly a hack to get the kernel to boot faster, but it introduced a

The custom_sched_clock hook is broken. The result from sched_clock needs to
be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles. The TSC is insufficient for this
purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly
represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be
interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled).
To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time,
that is scheduled time. So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it
into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along. This allows the tsc.c
code which converts cycles to nanoseconds to be shared by all paravirt-ops
backends.
It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct
abstraction which is clearly different for all virtual machine
implementations, and it gets rid of an ugly indirect function which I
ashamedly admit I hacked in to try to get this to work earlier, and then even
got in the wrong units.

Critical bugfixes for the VMI-Timer code.
1) Do not setup a one shot alarm if we are keeping the periodic alarm
armed. Additionally, since the periodic alarm can be run at a lower rate
than HZ, let's fixup the guard to the no-idle-hz mode appropriately. This
fixes the bug where the no-idle-hz mode might have a higher interrupt rate
than the non-idle case.
2) The interrupt handler can no longer adjust xtime due to nested lock
acquisition. Drop this. We don't need to check for wallclock time at
every tick, it can be done in userspace instead.
3) Add a bypass to disable noidle operation. This is useful as a last
minute workaround, or testing measure.
4) The code to skip the IO_APIC timer testing (no_timer_check) should be
conditional on IO_APIC, not SMP, since UP kernels can have this configured
in as well.

Currently sm501fb_crtsrc_store() won't allow the routing to be changed via
echos from userspace in to the sysfs file. The reason for this is that the
strnicmp() for both heads uses a sizeof() for the string length, which ends
up being strlen() + 1 (\0 in the normal case, but the echo gives a newline,
which is where the issue occurs), this then causes a mismatch and
subsequently bails with the -EINVAL.
In addition to this, the hardcoded lengths were then used for the store
length that was returned, which ended up being erroneous and resulting in a
write error. There's also no point in returning anything but the full
length since it will -EINVAL out on a mismatch well before then anyways.
sizeof("string") is great for making sure you have space in your buffer,
but rather less so for string comparisons :-)

Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to
facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared. The idling of
cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to
break with outside code, and the complexity of managing this system if an
architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be
unworkable.
Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by
this code.
Also:
The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet
further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code. So
either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely. It was Ingo's preference
to kill it off. Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks
has gone in.

shmem's super_operations were missed from the recent const-ification;
and simple_fill_super()'s, which can share with get_sb_pseudo()'s.
