There's no sense on keeping it on 2.6.38, as nobody is using it
anymore, at the kernel tree, and installing it at the userspace
API.As two deprecated drivers still need it, move it to their internal

RAW_SETBIND and RAW_GETBIND 32bit versions are fscked in interesting ways.
1) fs/compat_ioctl.c has COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(RAW_SETBIND) followed by
HANDLE_IOCTL(RAW_SETBIND, raw_ioctl). The latter is ignored.2) on amd64 (and itanic) the damn thing is broken - we have int + u64 + u64
and layouts on i386 and amd64 are _not_ the same. raw_ioctl() would
work there, but it's never called due to (1). As it is, i386 /sbin/raw
definitely doesn't work on amd64 boxen.3) switching to raw_ioctl() as is would *not* work on e.g. sparc64 and ppc64,
which would be rather sad, seeing that normal userland there is 32bit.
The thing is, slapping __packed on the struct in question does not DTRT -
it eliminates *all* padding. The real solution is to use compat_u64.4) of course, all that stuff has no business being outside of raw.c in the
first place - there should be ->compat_ioctl() for /dev/rawctl instead of
messing with compat_ioctl.c.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

smbfs has been scheduled for removal in 2.6.27, so
maybe we can now move it to drivers/staging on the
way out.smbfs still uses the big kernel lock and nobody
is going to fix that, so we should be getting
rid of it soon.This removes the 32 bit compat mount and ioctl

This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
LINEMODE in the server.There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.New ioctl:
TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the
current process group of the pty.There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty
to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:http://anonsvn.mit.edu/viewvc/krb5/trunk/src/appl/telnet/?pathrev=17741

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

bsg's SG_IO doesn't work on 32-bit userspace and 64-bit kernelspace.
The problem is that both sg and bsg drivers use SG_IO
ioctl. sg_ioctl_trans() does 32/64-bit conversion even against bsg
header. It messes up bsg header. bsg driver gets garbage.This patch fixes sg_ioctl_trans to handle only sg header (struct

busybox userland:ioctl32(init:1): Unknown cmd fd(0) cmd(00005600){t:'V';sz:0} arg(7fd76480) on /dev/console
The cmd 5600 is VT_OPENQRY. The busybox's init issues this ioctl to
know vt-console or serial-console. If the console was serial console,
VT ioctls are not handled by the serial driver.And by quick search, I found some programs using VT_GETMODE to check
vt-console is available or not.Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto

The compat_ioctl table now only contains entries for
COMPATIBLE_IOCTL, so we only need to know if a number
is listed in it or now.As an optimization, we hash the table entries with a
reversible transformation to get a more uniform distribution
over it, sort the table at startup and then guess the
position in the table when an ioctl number gets called
to do a linear search from there.With the current set of ioctl numbers and the chosen
transformation function, we need an average of four
steps to find if a number is in the set, all of the
accesses within one or two cache lines.This at least as good as the previous hash table
approach but saves 8.5 kb of kernel memory.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

We have always called ioctl conversion handlers under the big kernel lock,
although that is generally not necessary. In particular it is not needed
for conversion of data structures and for calling sys_ioctl or
do_vfs_ioctl, which will get the BKL again if needed.Handlers doing more than those two have been moved out, so we can kill off
the BKL from compat_sys_ioctl. This may significantly improve latencies
with 32 bit applications, and it avoids a common scenario where a thread
acquires the BKL twice.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

The VT driver now handles all of these ioctls directly, so we can remove
