ab5adecb2d sky2: status ring race fix
The D-Link PCI-X board (and maybe others) can lie about status
ring entries. It seems it will update the register for last status
index before completing the DMA for the ring entry. To avoid reading
stale data, zap the old entry and check.

ecd744eec3 x86 - 32-bit ptrace emulation mishandles 6th arg
[ jdike - Pushing Chuck's patch - see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/9/16/261 for some history and a test
program.  UML is also broken without this patch - its processes get
SIGBUS from the corrupt 6th argument to mmap being interpretted as a
file offset ]

When the 32-bit vDSO is used to make a system call, the %ebp register for
the 6th syscall arg has to be loaded from the user stack (where it's pushed
by the vDSO user code).  The native i386 kernel always does this before
stopping for syscall tracing, so %ebp can be seen and modified via ptrace
to access the 6th syscall argument.  The x86-64 kernel fails to do this,
presenting the stack address to ptrace instead.  This makes the %rbp value
seen by 64-bit ptrace of a 32-bit process, and the %ebp value seen by a
32-bit caller of ptrace, both differ from the native i386 behavior.

This patch fixes the problem by putting the word loaded from the user stack
into %rbp before calling syscall_trace_enter, and reloading the 6th syscall
argument from there afterwards (so ptrace can change it).  This makes the
behavior match that of i386 kernels.

fd181c72a3 x86_64: ia32 ptrace THREAD_AREA fix
The addr argument to PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA and PTRACE_SET_THREAD_AREA is
not a magic constant.  It's derived from the segment register values being
used, which are computed originally from the index used with set_thread_area.
The value does not need to match what a native i386 kernel would accept.
It needs to match the segment selectors that can actually be in use in this
32-bit process.  The 64-bit ptrace support for PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA
(normally used only on 32-bit processes) is correct, but the 32-bit emulation
of ptrace is broken.

3c5fd9c77d [FUTEX] Fix address computation in compat code.
compat_exit_robust_list() computes a pointer to the
futex entry in userspace as follows:

	(void __user *)entry + futex_offset

'entry' is a 'struct robust_list __user *', and
'futex_offset' is a 'compat_long_t' (typically a 's32').

Things explode if the 32-bit sign bit is set in futex_offset.

Type promotion sign extends futex_offset to a 64-bit value before
adding it to 'entry'.

This triggered a problem on sparc64 running 32-bit applications which
would lock up a cpu looping forever in the fault handling for the
userspace load in handle_futex_death().

Compat userspace runs with address masking (wherein the cpu zeros out
the top 32-bits of every effective address given to a memory operation
instruction) so the sparc64 fault handler accounts for this by
zero'ing out the top 32-bits of the fault address too.

Since the kernel properly uses the compat_uptr interfaces, kernel side
accesses to compat userspace work too since they will only use
addresses with the top 32-bit clear.

Because of this compat futex layer bug we get into the following loop
when executing the get_user() load near the top of handle_futex_death():

1) load from address '0xfffffffff7f16bd8', FAULT
2) fault handler clears upper 32-bits, processes fault
   for address '0xf7f16bd8' which succeeds
3) goto #1

I want to thank Bernd Zeimetz, Josip Rodin, and Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
for their tireless efforts helping me track down this bug.

b2f051ae39 frv: Remove bogus NO_IRQ = -1 define
The old NO_IRQ define some platforms had was long ago declared obsolete
and wrong. FRV should therefore not be re-introducing this, especially as
IRQs are usually unsigned in the kernel. The "no IRQ" case is defined to be
zero and Linus made this rather clear at the time.

arch/frv shows no dependancy on this but it might show up driver fixes
needing doing I guess

3c90e6e99b sched: fix copy_namespace() <-> sched_fork() dependency in do_fork
Sukadev Bhattiprolu reported a kernel crash with control groups.
There are couple of problems discovered by Suka's test:

- The test requires the cgroup filesystem to be mounted with
  atleast the cpu and ns options (i.e both namespace and cpu 
  controllers are active in the same hierarchy). 

	# mkdir /dev/cpuctl
	# mount -t cgroup -ocpu,ns none cpuctl
	(or simply)
	# mount -t cgroup none cpuctl -> Will activate all controllers
					 in same hierarchy.

- The test invokes clone() with CLONE_NEWNS set. This causes a a new child
  to be created, also a new group (do_fork->copy_namespaces->ns_cgroup_clone->
  cgroup_clone) and the child is attached to the new group (cgroup_clone->
  attach_task->sched_move_task). At this point in time, the child's scheduler 
  related fields are uninitialized (including its on_rq field, which it has
  inherited from parent). As a result sched_move_task thinks its on
  runqueue, when it isn't.

  As a solution to this problem, I moved sched_fork() call, which
  initializes scheduler related fields on a new task, before
  copy_namespaces(). I am not sure though whether moving up will
  cause other side-effects. Do you see any issue?

- The second problem exposed by this test is that task_new_fair()
  assumes that parent and child will be part of the same group (which 
  needn't be as this test shows). As a result, cfs_rq->curr can be NULL
  for the child.

  The solution is to test for curr pointer being NULL in
  task_new_fair().

With the patch below, I could run ns_exec() fine w/o a crash.

52d3da1ad4 sched: turn off PREEMPT_RESTRICT
PREEMPT_RESTRICT was a method aimed at reducing the amount of wakeup
related preemption. It has a disadvantage though, it can prevent
legitimate wakeups if a task is 'unlucky' to be hit too early by a tick
that clears peer_preempt.

Now that the wakeup preemption has been cleaned up we dont seem to have
excessive preemptions anymore, so this feature can be turned off. (and
removed in the next patch)

19978ca610 sched: reintroduce SMP tunings again
Yanmin Zhang reported an aim7 regression and bisected it down to:

 |  commit 38ad464d41
 |  Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
 |  Date:   Mon Oct 15 17:00:02 2007 +0200
 |
 |     sched: uniform tunings
 |
 |     use the same defaults on both UP and SMP.

fix this by reintroducing similar SMP tunings again. This resolves
the regression.

(also update the comments to match the ilog2(nr_cpus) tuning effect)

fa13a5a1f2 sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc
Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the
deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been
broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in
timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times().

This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times
that updates utime and stime into a separate function called
account_process_tick.  If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined,
there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that
simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before.  If
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to
implement account_process_tick.

This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390
timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a
suitable account_process_tick().

account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument.
Tested both with and without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.

9a41785cc4 sched: fix delay accounting regression
Fix the delay accounting regression introduced by commit
75d4ef16a6. rq no longer has sched_info
data associated with it. task_struct sched_info structure is used by delay
accounting to provide back statistics to user space.

also remove direct use of sched_clock() (which is not a valid thing to
do anymore) and use rq->clock instead.

b2be5e96dc sched: reintroduce the sched_min_granularity tunable
we lost the sched_min_granularity tunable to a clever optimization
that uses the sched_latency/min_granularity ratio - but the ratio
is quite unintuitive to users and can also crash the kernel if the
ratio is set to 0. So reintroduce the min_granularity tunable,
while keeping the ratio maintained internally.

no functionality changed.

4c013f5c7e [IA64] XPC heartbeat timer function must run on CPU 0
Currently, XPC's heartbeat timer function runs on whatever CPU modprobe/insmod
ran on when XPC was started. To avoid the heartbeat from being delayed for
long periods the timer function must run on CPU 0.

N.B. Altix doesn't currently allow cpu0 to be taken offline, so this is
safe for now.  This code must be revised when offline of cpu0 is enabled.

d85532ed28 block: fix requeue handling in blk_queue_invalidate_tags()
Credit goes to juergen.kadidlo@exasol.com for diagnosing this issue
and supplying the initial patch.

blk_queue_invalidate_tags() must use the proper requeueing paths instead
of open coding the re-add of the request, otherwise we bug out in rq
accounting. Just switch to using blk_requeue_request(), that takes care
of end-tag handling as well and also adds the blktrace REQUEUE notify
event that is also appropriate here.

91bc51d8a1 [ARM] pxa: fix one-shot timer mode
One-shot timer mode on PXA has various bugs which prevent kernels
build with NO_HZ enabled booting.  They end up spinning on a
permanently asserted timer interrupt because we don't properly
clear it down - clearing the OIER bit does not stop the pending
interrupt status.  Fix this in the set_mode handler as well.

Moreover, the code which sets the next expiry point may race with
the hardware, and we might not set the match register sufficiently
in the future.  If we encounter that situation, return -ETIME so
the generic time code retries.
