Remove the ki_retried member from struct kiocb. I think the idea was
bounced around a while back, but Arnaldo pointed out another reason that we
should dig it up when he pointed out that the last cacheline of struct
kiocb only contains 4 bytes. By removing the debugging member, we save
more than the 8 byte on 64 bit machines.

io_submit_one assigns ki_left = ki_nbytes = iocb->aio_nbytes, then calls
down to aio_setup_iocb, then to aio_setup_single_vector. In there,
ki_nbytes is reassigned to the same value it got two call stack above it.
There is no need to do so.

The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several
architectures. This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and
then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code.
The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support
kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

Heh, the very first line:
fs/exec.c(1465): remark #593: variable "flag" was set but never used
fs/exec.c:
1477 /*
1478 * We cannot trust fsuid as being the "true" uid of the
1479 * process nor do we know its entire history. We only know it
1480 * was tainted so we dump it as root in mode 2.
1481 */
1482 if (mm->dumpable == 2) { /* Setuid core dump mode */
1483 flag = O_EXCL; /* Stop rewrite attacks */
1484 current->fsuid = 0; /* Dump root private */
1485 }
And then filp_open follows with "flag" totally ignored.
(akpm: this restores the code to Alan's original version. Andi's "Support
piping into commands in /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" (cset d025c9db) broke
it).

Make the contents of the userspace asm/setup.h header consistent on all
architectures:
- export setup.h to userspace on all architectures
- export only COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to userspace
- frv: move COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from param.h
- i386: remove duplicate COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from param.h
- arm:
- export ATAGs to userspace
- change u8/u16/u32 to __u8/__u16/__u32

Twenty characters in cp936 are not correctly handled. They're all in the
U00 plane. nls_cp936 converts all U00XY to XY but this is not correct for
some characters.(e.g. U00B7 -> A1A4, U00A8 -> A1A7).
This problem is fixed by generating u2c_00 based on all c2u_xx and changing
uni2char() to give U00 plane a special handling. The "â¬"(U20AC,80 in
cp936) is also be handled properly.

When disassembling a kernel I found around over 90 sync Instructions from
mb, rmb and wmb calls in the kernel and only few of those make any sense to
me. So here's the first one - I think the wmb() in kernel/futex.c is not
needed on uniprocessors so should become an smb_wmb().

Fix compile errors on mismatch between generic HDLC and synclink drivers.
Notes:
generic HDLC support for synclink drivers is *optional* so you can't just
use depend on in Kconfig

many developers including AKPM. Read the threads on LKML before posting

This patch removes the unused NFSD_OPTIMIZE_SPACE.
Additionally, it does differently what NFSD_OPTIMIZE_SPACE was supposed to do:
Nowadays, gcc knows best when to inline code, and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
even tells gcc globally whether to optimize for size or for speed. Therefore,
this patch also removes all inline's from these files.

If you do something like:
# touch foo
# tail -f foo &
# rm foo
# <take snapshot>
# <mount snapshot>
you'll panic, because ext3/4 tries to do orphan list processing on the
readonly snapshot device, and:
kernel: journal commit I/O error
kernel: Assertion failure in journal_flush_Rsmp_e2f189ce() at journal.c:1356: "!journal->j_checkpoint_transactions"
kernel: Kernel panic: Fatal exception
for a truly readonly underlying device, it's reasonable and necessary
to just skip orphan list processing.

Keith says
Compiling 2.6.19-rc6 with gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux), wait_hpet_tick is
optimized away to a never ending loop and the kernel hangs on boot in timer
setup.
0000001a <wait_hpet_tick>:
1a: 55 push %ebp
1b: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
1d: eb fe jmp 1d <wait_hpet_tick+0x3>
This is not a problem with gcc 3.3.5. Adding barrier() calls to
wait_hpet_tick does not help, making the variables volatile does.
And the consensus is that gcc-4.1.0 is busted. Suse went and shipped
gcc-4.1.0 so we cannot ban it. Add a warning.

The pl010 primecell documentation specifies that an error indicated via RSR
should be cleared by a write to ECR. We didn't do this, which was causing
errors to be re-reported on every call to pl010_rx_chars().
Doing a write to ECR once we detect an error appears to prevent the ep93xx
console UART driver from going into a mode where it reports "ttyAM0: X
input overrun(s)" every couple of keystrokes.

The real time clocks ds1742 and ds1743 differs only in the size of the
nvram. This patch changes the existing ds1742 driver to support also
ds1743. The main change is that the nvram size is determined from the
resource attached to the device.
The patch have benefitted from suggestions from Atsushi Nemeto, who is the
author of the ds1742 driver.

It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance
to spawn on all CPUs. This is totally harmless; after success during action
CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes
softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets. So
there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were
already pending.
In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when
using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be
decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks. It is also
possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug.
Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and
virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu. It is
also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd,
although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that.

When kernel is compiled with old version of autofs (CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS), and
new (observed at least with 5.x.x) automount deamon is started, kernel
correctly reports incompatible version of kernel and userland daemon, but
then screws things up instead of correct handling of the error:
autofs: kernel does not match daemon version
=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
-------------------------------------
automount/4199 is trying to release lock (&type->s_umount_key) at:
[<c0163b9e>] get_sb_nodev+0x76/0xa4
but there are no more locks to release!
other info that might help us debug this:
no locks held by automount/4199.

Leftover inexact backtrace:
=======================
and then deadlock comes.
The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but
before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which
won't be needed. This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(),
because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock
first (deactivate_super(), etc.). The correct time to call
kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by
deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be
killed.
I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4. This patch solves
issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the
kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super()
calling the kill_sb() callback.

Some people want to use ide_cd for CD-ROM but still dynamically load
ide-scsi for things like tape drives. If you compile in the CD driver this
works out but if you want them modular you need an option to ensure that
whoever loads first the right things happen.
This replaces the original draft patch which leaked a scsi host reference

Port fix to the off-by-one in find_next_usable_block's memscan from ext2 to
ext4; but it didn't cause a serious problem for ext4 because the additional
ext4_test_allocatable check rescued it from the error.
