2008-11-08sched: improve sched_clock() performanceIngo Molnar
in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for 20% of the system overhead: 659567 system_call 41222.9375 686796 schedule 435.7843 718382 __switch_to 665.1685 823875 switch_mm 4526.7857 1883122 native_read_tsc 55385.9412 9761990 total 2.8468 this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before and after reading the TSC. But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use them in vget_cycles(). This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-07Staging: only build the tree if we really want toGreg Kroah-Hartman
This Kconfig change allows the common 'make allmodconfig' and 'make allyesconfig' build options to skip the staging tree, which is probably what you want to have happen anyway. This makes the linux-next developer's life a lot easier so he doesn't have to worry about changes that break the staging tree, that's for me to worry about...

2008-11-07ext4: add checksum calculation when clearing UNINIT flag in ext4_new_inodeFrederic Bohe
When initializing an uninitialized block group in ext4_new_inode(), its block group checksum must be re-calculated. This fixes a race when several threads try to allocate a new inode in an UNINIT'd group. There is some question whether we need to be initializing the block bitmap in ext4_new_inode() at all, but for now, if we are going to init the block group, let's eliminate the race.

2008-11-07xen: make sure stray alias mappings are gone before pinningJeremy Fitzhardinge
Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so that they can't be updated illegally. As a result, if a page is being turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings are RO. If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped. This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning the page. Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.

2008-11-06net: Fix recursive descent in __scm_destroy().David S. Miller
__scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list pointed to by the scm_cookie argument. Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again. There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur. The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we keep running the list until it is empty.

2008-11-06Fix accidental implicit cast in HR-timer conversionDavid Howells
Fix the hrtimer_add_expires_ns() function. It should take a 'u64 ns' argument, but rather takes an 'unsigned long ns' argument - which might only be 32-bits. On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was called directly.

FAT has the ATTR_RO (read-only) attribute. But on Windows, the ATTR_RO of the directory will be just ignored actually, and is used by only applications as flag. E.g. it's setted for the customized folder by Explorer. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969337.aspx This adds "rodir" option. If user specified it, ATTR_RO is used as read-only flag even if it's the directory. Otherwise, inode->i_mode is not used to hold ATTR_RO (i.e. fat_mode_can_save_ro() returns 0).

2008-11-06fat: Fix ATTR_RO in the case of (~umask & S_WUGO) == 0OGAWA Hirofumi
If inode->i_mode doesn't have S_WUGO, current code assumes it means ATTR_RO. However, if (~[ufd]mask & S_WUGO) == 0, inode->i_mode can't hold S_WUGO. Therefore the updated directory entry will always have ATTR_RO. This adds fat_mode_can_hold_ro() to check it. And if inode->i_mode can't hold, uses -i_attrs to hold ATTR_RO instead. With this, we don't set ATTR_RO unless users change it via ioctl() if (~[ufd]mask & S_WUGO) == 0. And on FAT_IOCTL_GET_ATTRIBUTES path, this adds ->i_mutex to it for not returning the partially updated attributes by FAT_IOCTL_SET_ATTRIBUTES to userland.

- Add comments for handling dcache of vfat. - Separate case-sensitive case and case-insensitive to vfat_revalidate() and vfat_ci_revalidate(). vfat_revalidate() doesn't need to drop case-insensitive negative dentry on creation path. - Current code is missing to set ->d_revalidate to the negative dentry created by unlink/etc.. This sets ->d_revalidate always, and returns 1 for positive dentry. Now, we don't need to change ->d_op dynamically anymore, so this just uses sb->s_root->d_op to set ->d_op. - d_find_alias() may return DCACHE_DISCONNECTED dentry. It's not the interesting dentry there. This checks it. - Add missing LOOKUP_PARENT check. We don't need to drop the valid negative dentry for (LOOKUP_CREATE | LOOKUP_PARENT) lookup. - For consistent filename on creation path, this drops negative dentry if we can't see intent.
