This is a rather bizarre thing to have inlined in io.h. Stick it in lib/
instead.While we're there, despaghetti it a bit, and fix its off-by-one behaviour when
passed a zero length.Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

The IO port range requested by parport_pc.c:sio_ite_8872_probe is too small.
The IO-ports of ttyS1 (0x2f8) will be missconfigured by the ITE-chip. The ITE
starts looking for the chip a 0x2a0. An IO-portrange of 32 will not overwrite
the ports of ttyS1. Therefore register 0x60 should be written with
0xe5000000, enabling the ITE and setting IO-portsize to 32 bytes.Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

This follows a suggestion from Chuck Ebbert on how to make seccomp
absolutely zerocost in schedule too. The only remaining footprint of
seccomp is in terms of the bzImage size that becomes a few bytes (perhaps
even a few kbytes) larger, measure it if you care in the embedded.Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli

This reduces the memory footprint and it enforces that only the current
task can enable seccomp on itself (this is a requirement for a
strightforward [modulo preempt ;) ] TIF_NOTSC implementation).Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli

Add custom dentry hash and comparison operations for HFS+ filesystems that are
case-insensitive and/or do automatic unicode decomposition. The new
operations reuse the existing HFS+ ASCII to unicode conversion, unicode
decomposition and case folding functionality.Signed-off-by: Duane Griffin

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
The HFS+ filesystem is case-insensitive and does automatic unicode
decomposition by default, but does not provide custom dentry operations. This
can lead to multiple dentries being cached for lookups on a filename with
varying case and/or character (de)composition.These patches add custom dentry hash and comparison operations for
case-sensitive and/or automatically decomposing HFS+ filesystems. Unicode
decomposition and case-folding are performed as required to ensure equivalent
filenames are hashed to the same values and compare as equal.This patch:
Refactor existing HFS+ ASCII to unicode string conversion routine to split out
character conversion functionality. This will be reused by the custom dentry
hash and comparison routines. This approach avoids unnecessary memory
allocation compared to using the string conversion routine directly in the new
functions.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: avoid use-of-uninitialised]

Poeple keep on adding new numbered sysctls, when they're supposed not to.

Improve performance of sys_time(). sys_time() returns time in seconds, but
it does so by calling do_gettimeofday() and then returning the tv_sec
portion of the GTOD time. But the data structure "xtime", which is updated
by every timer/scheduler tick, already offers HZ granularity time.The patch improves the sysbench OLTP macrobenchmark significantly:
2.6.22-rc6:
#threads
1: transactions: 3733 (373.21 per sec.)
2: transactions: 6676 (667.46 per sec.)
3: transactions: 6957 (695.50 per sec.)
4: transactions: 7055 (705.48 per sec.)
5: transactions: 6596 (659.33 per sec.)2.6.22-rc6 + sys_time.patch:
1: transactions: 4005 (400.47 per sec.)
2: transactions: 7379 (737.77 per sec.)
3: transactions: 7347 (734.49 per sec.)
4: transactions: 7468 (746.65 per sec.)
5: transactions: 7428 (742.47 per sec.)Mixed API uses of gettimeofday() and time() are guaranteed to be coherent
via the use of a at-most-once-per-second slowpath that updates xtime.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes]

sys_ioctl() was only exported for our first version of compat ioctl
handling. Now that the whole compat ioctl handling mess is more or less
sorted out there are no more modular users left and we can kill it.There's one exception and that's sparc64's solaris compat module, but
sparc64 has it's own export predating the generic one by years for that
which this patch leaves untouched.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

While working on unshare support for the network namespace I noticed we
were putting clone flags in an int. Which is weird because the syscall
uses unsigned long and we at least need an unsigned to properly hold all of
the unshare flags.So to make the code consistent, this patch updates the code to use
unsigned long instead of int for the clone flags in those places
where we get it wrong today.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

The procfs-guide claims that 'the parameter start doesn't seem to be used
anywhere in the kernel'. This is out of date. In linux/fs/proc/generic.c

accurate one.Cc: "Randy.Dunlap"

OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools
working on 64bit architectures. In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function
was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be
32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right. Look at
if_dqblk structure:struct if_dqblk {
__u64 dqb_bhardlimit;
__u64 dqb_bsoftlimit;
__u64 dqb_curspace;
__u64 dqb_ihardlimit;
__u64 dqb_isoftlimit;
__u64 dqb_curinodes;
__u64 dqb_btime;
__u64 dqb_itime;
__u32 dqb_valid;
};For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44.
But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment!
Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function,
that handles this and related situations.[michal.k.k.piotrowski@gmail.com: build fix]

One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the
different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines. A number of
drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as
'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks
all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code.Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types,
compat_u64 and compat_s64. These are defined on all architectures to have
the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

ext4_orphan_add() and ext4_orphan_del() functions lock sb->s_lock with a
transaction started with ext4_mark_recovery_complete() waits for a transaction
holding sb->s_lock, thus leading to a possible deadlock. At the moment we
call ext4_mark_recovery_complete() from ext4_remount() we have done all the
work needed for remounting and thus we are safe to drop sb->s_lock before we
wait for transactions to commit. Note that at this moment we are still
guarded by s_umount lock against other remounts/umounts.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
