Reorder members of the kiocb structure to make sync kiocb setup faster. By
setting the elements sequentially, the write combining buffers on the CPU
are able to combine the writes into a single burst, which results in fewer
cache cycles being consumed, freeing them up for other code. This results
in a 10-20KB/s[*] increase on the bw_unix part of LMbench on my test
system.
* The improvement varies based on what other patches are in the system,
as there are a number of bottlenecks, so this number is not absolutely
accurate.

Add a hook so architectures can validate /dev/mem mmap requests.
This is analogous to validation we already perform in the read/write
paths.
The identity mapping scheme used on ia64 requires that each 16MB or
64MB granule be accessed with exactly one attribute (write-back or
uncacheable). This avoids "attribute aliasing", which can cause a
machine check.
Sample problem scenario:
- Machine supports VGA, so it has uncacheable (UC) MMIO at 640K-768K
- efi_memmap_init() discards any write-back (WB) memory in the first granule
- Application (e.g., "hwinfo") mmaps /dev/mem, offset 0
- hwinfo receives UC mapping (the default, since memmap says "no WB here")
- Machine check abort (on chipsets that don't support UC access to WB
memory, e.g., sx1000)
In the scenario above, the only choices are
- Use WB for hwinfo mmap. Can't do this because it causes attribute
aliasing with the UC mapping for the VGA MMIO space.
- Use UC for hwinfo mmap. Can't do this because the chipset may not
support UC for that region.
- Disallow the hwinfo mmap with -EINVAL. That's what this patch does.

This creates a new function, cciss_interrupt_mode called from
cciss_pci_init. This function determines what type of interrupt vector to
use, i.e., MSI, MSI-X, or IO-APIC.
One noticeable difference is changing the interrupt field of the controller
struct to an array of 4 unsigned ints. The Smart Array HW is capable of
generating 4 distinct interrupts depending on the transport method in use
during operation. These are:
#define DOORBELL_INT 0
Used to notify the contoller of configuration updates. We only use
this feature when in polling mode.
#define PERF_MODE_INT 0
Used when the controller is in Performant Mode.
#define SIMPLE_MODE_INT 2
Used when the controller is in Simple Mode (current Linux implementation).
#define MEMQ_INT_MODE 3
Not used.
When using IO-APIC interrupts these 4 lines are OR'ed together so when any
one fires an interrupt an is generated. In MSI or MSI-X mode this hardware
OR'ing is ignored. We must register for our interrupt depending on what
mode the controller is running. For Linux we use SIMPLE_MODE_INT
exclusively at this time. Please consider this for inclusion.

The problem. It is expected that /sbin/halt -p works exactly like
/sbin/halt, when the kernel does not implement power off functionality.
The kernel can do a lot of work in the reboot notifiers and in
device_shutdown before we even get to machine_power_off. Some of that
shutdown is not safe if you are leaving the power on, and it definitely
gets in the way of using sysrq or pressing ctrl-alt-del. Since the
shutdown happens in generic code there is no way to fix this in
architecture specific code :(
Some machines are kernel oopsing today because of this.
The simple solution is to turn LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF into
LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT if power_off functionality is not implemented.
This has the unfortunate side effect of disabling the power off
functionality on architectures that leave pm_power_off to null and still
implement something in machine_power_off. And it will break the build on
some architectures that don't have a pm_power_off variable at all.
On both counts I say tough.
For architectures like alpha that don't implement the pm_power_off variable
pm_power_off is declared in linux/pm.h and it is a generic part of our
power management code, and all architectures should implement it.
For architectures like parisc that have a default power off method in
machine_power_off if pm_power_off is not implemented or fails. It is easy
enough to set the pm_power_off variable. And nothing bad happens there,
the machines just stop powering off.
The current semantics are impossible without a flag at the top level so we
can avoid the problem code if a power off is not implemented. pm_power_off
is as good a flag as any with the bonus that it works without modification
on at least x86, x86_64, powerpc, and ppc today.
Andrew can you pick this up and put this in the mm tree. Kernels that
don't compile or don't power off seem saner than kernels that oops or
panic. Until we get the arch specific patches for the problem
architectures this probably isn't smart to push into the stable kernel.
Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to walk through every
architecture and make them work. And even if I did I couldn't test it :(

Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.
Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.
At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

__group_complete_signal() sets ->group_stop_count in sig_kernel_coredump()
path and marks the target thread as ->group_exit_task. So any thread
except group_exit_task will go to handle_group_stop()->finish_stop().
However, when group_exit_task actually starts do_coredump(), it sets
SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, but does not reset ->group_stop_count while killing
other threads. If we have not yet stopped threads in the same thread
group, they all will spin in kernel mode until group_exit_task sends them
SIGKILL, because ->group_stop_count > 0 means:
recalc_sigpending_tsk() never clears TIF_SIGPENDING
get_signal_to_deliver() goes to handle_group_stop()
handle_group_stop() returns when SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT set
syscall_exit/resume_userspace notice TIF_SIGPENDING,
call get_signal_to_deliver() again.
So we are wasting cpu cycles, and if one of these threads is rt_task() this
may be a serious problem.
NOTE: do_coredump() holds ->mmap_sem, so not stopped threads can't escape
coredumping after clearing ->group_stop_count.

We've had two instances recently of overflows when doing
64_bit_value = (32_bit_value << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT)
I did a tree-wide grep of `<<.*PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT' and this is the result.
- afs_rxfs_fetch_descriptor.offset is of type off_t, which seems broken.
- jfs and jffs are limited to 4GB anyway.
- reiserfs map_block_for_writepage() takes an unsigned long for the block -
it should take sector_t. (It'll fail for huge filesystems with
blocksize<PAGE_CACHE_SIZE)
- cramfs_read() needs to use sector_t (I think cramsfs is busted on large
filesystems anyway)
- affs is limited in file size anyway.
- I generally didn't fix 32-bit overflows in directory operations.
- arm's __flush_dcache_page() is peculiar. What if the page lies beyond 4G?
- gss_wrap_req_priv() needs checking (snd_buf->page_base)
