The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side
effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by
gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond. There were two reasons:
(1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31
timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and
(2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of
jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards
when the timebase factor gets reduced.
This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in
2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b)
adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday
result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock
and the timer interrupt is late). In this case the adjustment will
reduce to zero eventually because of (a).

The lparcfg code needs several things which are pretty arcane internal
details and which we don't want to export, which means that lparcfg
doesn't work when built as a module. This makes it a bool instead of
a tristate in the Kconfig so that users can't try to build it as a
module.

When we link a socket into the hash table, we need to make sure that we
set the num/port fields so that it shows us with a non-zero port value
in proc/netlink and on the wire. This code and comment is copied over
from the IPv4 stack as is.

EM64T CPUs have somewhat weird error reporting for non canonical RIPs in
SYSRET.
We can't handle any exceptions there because the exception handler would
end up running on the user stack which is unsafe.
To avoid problems any code that might end up with a user touched pt_regs
should return using int_ret_from_syscall. int_ret_from_syscall ends up
using IRET, which allows safe exceptions.

This patch fixes an error in the dl2k driver's DMA mapping/unmapping.
The adapter uses the upper 16bits of the DMA address for the buffer

address, and can lead to errors by trying to free a DMA address out of
range.

instead of one of the NETDEV_TX_* error codes. In fact, it frees up

The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for
__put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that
patch. But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as
__put_task_struct wasn't exported. There are not callers of it in modular
code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold
references to task_structs.
This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into
__put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.
