The comments concerning how the pcnet32 ethernet device driver selects
the MAC addr to use are incorrect. A recent patch (in the last 3 months)
changed how the code worked, but did not change the comments.
Side comment: the new behaviour is good; I've got a pcnet32 card which
powers up with garbage in the CSR's, and a good MAC addr in the PROM.

Initializing the b44 MAC & PCI functional blocks in the controller must
occur inside init_one(). This will allow access to the MAC registers.
The controller was being powered up in b44_open() which would not allow

in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.

send_sigqueue() checks PF_EXITING, then locks p->sighand->siglock. This is
unsafe: 'p' can exit in between and set ->sighand = NULL. The race is
theoretical, the window is tiny and irqs are disabled by the caller, so I
don't think we need the fix for -stable tree.
Convert send_sigqueue() to use lock_task_sighand() helper.
Also, delete 'p->flags & PF_EXITING' re-check, it is unneeded and the
comment is wrong.

do_signal_stop() considers 'thread_group_empty()' as a special case.
This was needed to avoid taking tasklist_lock. Since this lock is
unneeded any longer, we can remove this special case and simplify
the code even more.
Also, before this patch, finish_stop() was called with stop_count == -1
for 'thread_group_empty()' case. This is not strictly wrong, but confusing
and unneeded.

This also means that SIGSTOP or sig_kernel_coredump() signal can't
be delivered to pgrp/session reliably.
With this patch copy_process() returns -ERESTARTNOINTR when it
detects a pending signal, fork() will be restarted transparently
after handling the signals.
This patch also deletes now unneeded "group_stop_count > 0" check,
copy_process() can no longer succeed while group stop in progress.

This patch kills PIDTYPE_TGID pid_type thus saving one hash table in
kernel/pid.c and speeding up subthreads create/destroy a bit. It is also a
preparation for the further tref/pids rework.
This patch adds 'struct list_head thread_group' to 'struct task_struct'
instead.
We don't detach group leader from PIDTYPE_PID namespace until another
thread inherits it's ->pid == ->tgid, so we are safe wrt premature
free_pidmap(->tgid) call.
Currently there are no users of find_task_by_pid_type(PIDTYPE_TGID).
Should the need arise, we can use find_task_by_pid()->group_leader.

This patch moves __unhash_process() call from realease_task() to
__exit_signal(), so __detach_pid() is called with ->siglock held.
This means we don't need tasklist_lock to iterate over thread group anymore:
copy_process() was already changed to do attach_pid()
under ->siglock.
Eric's "pidhash-kill-switch_exec_pids.patch" from -mm
changed de_thread() so it doesn't touch PIDTYPE_TGID.
NOTE: de_thread() still needs some attention. It still changes task->pid
lockless. Taking ->sighand.siglock here allows to do more tasklist_lock
removals.

__exit_signal() does important cleanups atomically under ->siglock. It is
also called from copy_process's error path. This is not good, for example we
can't move __unhash_process() under ->siglock for that reason.
We should not mix these 2 paths, just look at ugly 'if (p->sighand)' under
'bad_fork_cleanup_sighand:' label. For copy_process() case it is sufficient
to just backout copy_signal(), nothing more.
Again, nobody can see this task yet. For CLONE_THREAD case we just decrement
signal->count, otherwise nobody can see this ->signal and we can free it
lockless.
This patch assumes it is safe to do exit_thread_group_keys() without
tasklist_lock.

The only caller of exit_sighand(tsk) is copy_process's error path. We can
call __exit_sighand() directly and kill exit_sighand().
This 'tsk' was not yet registered in pid_hash[] or init_task.tasks, it has no
external references, nobody can see it, and
IF (clone_flags & CLONE_SIGHAND)
At least 'current' has a reference to ->sighand, this
means atomic_dec_and_test(sighand->count) can't be true.
ELSE
Nobody can see this ->sighand, this means we can free it
without any locking.

Add lock_task_sighand() helper and converts group_send_sig_info() to use
it. Hopefully we will have more users soon.
This patch also removes '!sighand->count' and '!p->usage' checks, I think
they both are bogus, racy and unneeded (but probably it makes sense to
restore them as BUG_ON()s).
->sighand is cleared and it's ->count is decremented in release_task() with
sighand->siglock held, so it is a bug to have '!p->usage || !->count' after
we already locked and verified it is the same. On the other hand, an
already dead task without ->sighand can have a non-zero ->usage due to
ptrace, for example.
If we read the stale value of ->sighand we must see the change after
spin_lock(), because that change was done while holding that same old
->sighand.siglock.

This patch borrows a clever Hugh's 'struct anon_vma' trick.
Without tasklist_lock held we can't trust task->sighand until we locked it
and re-checked that it is still the same.
But this means we don't need to defer 'kmem_cache_free(sighand)'. We can
return the memory to slab immediately, all we need is to be sure that
sighand->siglock can't dissapear inside rcu protected section.
To do so we need to initialize ->siglock inside ctor function,
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU does the rest.
