PA-RISC to aid debugging prints out the zonelists setup by the system. A

The function framebuffer_release just calls kfree, so calling kfree
subsequently on the same argument represents a double free. The comments with
the definition of framebuffer_release in drivers/video/fbsysfs.c suggest that
a more elaborate definition of this function is planned, such that the
splitting up of framebuffer_release and kfree as done in the second instance
might someday make sense, but it does not make sense now.This was found using the following semantic match.

There is currently no way to query the bounding set of another task. As there
appears to be no security reason not to, and as Michael Kerrisk points out the
following valid reasons to do so exist:* consistency (I can see all of the other per-thread/process sets in
/proc/.../status)* debugging -- I could imagine that it would make the job of debugging an
application that uses capabilities a little simpler.this patch adds the bounding set to /proc/self/status right after the
effective set.Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn

commit bd2ab67030e9116f1e4aae1289220255412b37fd "md: close a livelock window
in handle_parity_checks5" introduced a bug in handling 'repair' operations.
After a repair operation completes we clear the state bits tracking this
operation. However, they are cleared too early and this results in the code
deciding to re-run the parity check operation. Since we have done the repair
in memory the second check does not find a mismatch and thus does not do a
writeback.Test results:
$ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
$ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt
51072
$ echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action
$ cat /sys/block/md0/md/mismatch_cnt
0(also fix incorrect indentation)

Sometimes, vfs_quota_off() is called on a partially set up super block (for
example when fill_super() fails for some reason). In such cases we cannot
call ->sync_fs() because it can Oops because of not properly filled in super
block. So in case we find there's not quota to turn off, we just skip
everything and return which fixes the above problem.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fxi tpyo]

As the subject says this patch adds the support for kernel preemption on
m68knommu Coldfire. I thing the same changes could be applied to 68360 &
68328 but since I don't have the HW, I don't touch it. Kconfig enables the
preemption item only on coldfire.This is a missing chunk from Sebastian's original patch that I lost from the
first submission.Signed-off-by: Sebastian Siewior

The random driver would essentially hang if the host's /dev/random returned
-EAGAIN. There was a test of need_resched followed by a schedule inside the
loop, but that didn't help and it's the wrong way to work anyway.The right way is to ask for an interrupt when there is input available from
the host and handle it then rather than polling.Now, when the host's /dev/random returns -EAGAIN, the driver asks for a wakeup
when there's randomness available again and sleeps. The interrupt routine
just wakes up whatever processes are sleeping on host_read_wait.There is an atomic_t, host_sleep_count, which counts the number of processes
waiting for randomness. When this reaches zero, the interrupt is disabled.An added complication is that async I/O notification was only recently added
to /dev/random (by me), so essentially all hosts will lack it. So, we use the
sigio workaround here, which is to have a separate thread poll on the
descriptor and send an interrupt when there is input on it. This mechanism is
activated when a process gets -EAGAIN (activating this multiple times is
harmless, if a bit wasteful) and deactivated by the last process still
waiting.The module name was changed from "random" to "hw_random" in order for udev to
recognize it.The sigio workaround needed some changes. sigio_broken was added for cases
when we know that async notification doesn't work. This is now called from
maybe_sigio_broken, which deals with pts devices.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

UML's supposed nanosecond clock interacts badly with NTP when NTP
decides that the clock has drifted ahead and needs to be slowed down.
Slowing down the clock is done by decrementing the cycle-to-nanosecond
multiplier, which is 1. Decrementing that gives you 0 and time is
stopped.This is fixed by switching to a microsecond clock, with a multiplier
of 1000.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

Reintroduce uml_kmalloc for the benefit of UML libc code. The
previous tactic of declaring __kmalloc so it could be called directly
from the libc side of the house turned out to be getting too intimate
with slab, and it doesn't work with slob.So, the uml_kmalloc wrapper is back. It calls kmalloc or whatever
that translates into, and libc code calls it.kfree is left alone since that still works, leaving a somewhat
inconsistent API.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

hppfs tidying and fixes noticed during hch's get_inode work -
style fixes
a copy_to_user got its return value checked
hppfs_write no longer fiddles file->f_pos because it gets and
returns pos in its arguments
hppfs_delete_inode dputs the underlyng procfs dentry stored in
its private data and mntputs the vfsmnt stashed in s_fs_info
hppfs_put_super no longer needs to mntput the s_fs_info, so it
no longer needs to exist
hppfs_readlink and hppfs_follow_link were doing a bunch of stuff
with a struct file which they didn't use
there is now a ->permission which calls generic_permission
get_inode was always returning 0 for some reason - it now
returns an inode if nothing bad happenedSigned-off-by: Jeff Dike

Because it's not correct with a non-preemptable BKL and just causes
PREEMPT kernels to have longer latencies than non-PREEMPT ones (which is
obviously not the point of it at all).Of course, that config option actually got removed as an option earlier,
so for now this basically disables it entirely, but if BKL preemption is
ever resurrected it will be a meaningful optimization. And in the
meantime, it at least documents the intent of the code, while not doing
the wrong thing.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

We should not go through the task pointer to get at the thread info,
since it's usually cheaper to just access the thread info directly.So don't make the code look up 'current', when we can just use the
thread info accessor functions directly. This generally avoids one
level of indirection and tends to work better together with code that
also looks at other thread flags (eg preempt_count).Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
