Remove an unnecessary memory barrier (implicit in rcu_dereference()) from
install_session_keyring().
install_session_keyring() is also rearranged a little to make it slightly
more efficient.
As install_*_keyring() may schedule (in synchronize_rcu() or
keyring_alloc()), they may not be entered with interrupts disabled - and so
there's no point saving the interrupt disablement state over the critical
section.
exec_keys() will also be invoked with interrupts enabled, and so that doesn't
need to save the interrupt state either.

In the memory barrier document, improve the example of the data dependency
barrier situation by:
(1) showing the initial values of the variables involved; and
(2) repeating the instruction sequence description, this time with the data
dependency barrier actually shown to make it clear what the revised
sequence actually is.

Fix the memory barrier documentation to attempt to describe atomic ops
correctly.
atomic_t ops that return a value _do_ imply smp_mb() either side, and so
don't actually require smp_mb__*_atomic_*() special barriers.
Also explains why special barriers exist in addition to normal barriers.
Further fix the memory barrier documents to portray bitwise operation
memory barrier effects correctly following Nick Piggin's comments.
It makes the point that any atomic op that both modifies some state in
memory and returns information on that state implies memory barriers on
both sides.

The MPBL0010 Telco clock driver (drivers/char/tlclk.c) uses 0222 (anyone
can write) permissions on its writable sysfs entries. Alter the
permissions to 0220 (owner and group can write).
The use case for this driver is to configure the fail over behavior of the
clock hardware. That should be done by the more privileged users.

Remove duplicate call to idr_remove() in ptmx_open.
Error during open can result in call to release_dev() followed by call to
idr_remove(). release_dev already calls idr_remove so the second call can
cause a stack dump in idr_remove()->sub_remove() flagging an attempt to
release an already released entry.
I reproduces this on a machine with a misconfigured X server (attempting to
restart multiple times rapidly) getting the same error as the 1st link
below.
This also seems to be related to:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=110596994916785&w=2
The stack dump can occur on close (as well as open) as shown
in the 1st instance above, possible from something like:
process A - open (index=0), open fail to out1,
release_dev calls idr_remove (index 0), down(sem) sleeps
process B - open (index=0), open OK (idr allocated)
process A - wake and call idr_remove on index 0
...
process B - close, release_dev, stack dump on idr_remove (index=0)
because entry already removed

Remove the blkmtd driver.
- An alternative exists (block2mtd) that hasn't had bug report for > 1 year.
- Most embedded people tend to use ancient kernels with custom patches from
mtd cvs and elsewhere, so the 1 year warning period neither helps nor hurts
them too much.
- It's in the way of klibc. The problems caused by pulling blkmtd support
are fairly low, while the problems caused by delaying klibc can be fairly
substantial. At best, this would be a severe burden on hpa's time.

The only record we have of the real-time age of a process, regardless of
execs it's done, is start_time. When a non-leader thread exec, the
original start_time of the process is lost. Things looking at the
real-time age of the process are fooled, for example the process accounting
record when the process finally dies. This change makes the oldest
start_time stick around with the process after a non-leader exec. This way
the association between PID and start_time is kept constant, which seems
correct to me.

If SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is not a multiple of sizeof(long) then stack_fds[]
would be shorter than SELECT_STACK_ALLOC bytes and could overflow later in
the function. Fixed by simply rearranging the test later to work on
sizeof(stack_fds) Currently SELECT_STACK_ALLOC is 256 so this doesn't
happen, but it's nasty to have things like this hidden in the code. What
if later someone decides to change SELECT_STACK_ALLOC to 300?

We need the boot CPU's tvec_bases[] entry to be initialised super-early in
boot, for early_serial_setup(). That runs within setup_arch(), before even
per-cpu areas are initialised.
The patch changes tvec_bases to use compile-time initialisation, and adds a
separate array `tvec_base_done' to keep track of which CPU has had its
tvec_bases[] entry initialised (because we can no longer use the zeroness of
that tvec_bases[] entry to determine whether it has been initialised).

While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't
being exported from lib/string.c. Investigating further, I noticed a
changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more
architectures. The justification was that "other arches do it."
I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines
__HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it
themselves. Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5
NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy.
SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the
future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's
number.
This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.
On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I
changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It
would be simpler.
