We need to be able to get from an irq number to a struct msi_desc.
The msi_desc array in msi.c had several short comings the big one was
that it could not be used outside of msi.c. Using irq_data in struct
irq_desc almost worked except on some architectures irq_data needs to
be used for something else.So this patch adds a msi_desc pointer to irq_desc, adds the appropriate
wrappers and changes all of the msi code to use them.The dynamic_irq_init/cleanup code was tweaked to ensure the new
field is left in a well defined state.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

This is based on a patch by Eric W. Biederman, who pointed out that pid
namespaces are still fake, and we only have one ever active.So for the time being, we can modify any code which could access
tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns during task exit to just use &init_pid_ns instead,
and move the exit_task_namespaces call in do_exit() back above
exit_notify(), so that an exiting nfs server has a valid tsk->sighand to
work with.Long term, pulling pid_ns out of nsproxy might be the cleanest solution.

Fix exit race by splitting the nsproxy putting into two pieces. First
piece reduces the nsproxy refcount. If we dropped the last reference, then
it puts the mnt_ns, and returns the nsproxy as a hint to the caller. Else
it returns NULL. The second piece of exiting task namespaces sets
tsk->nsproxy to NULL, and drops the references to other namespaces and
frees the nsproxy only if an nsproxy was passed in.A little awkward and should probably be reworked, but hopefully it fixes
the NFS oops.Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn

Any newly added irq handler may obviously make any old spurious irq

supposed to handle any interrupts that came in.So just clear the statistics when adding handlers.

while lock-profiling the -rt kernel i noticed weird contention during
mmap-intense workloads, and the tracer showed the following gem, in one
of our MM hotpaths:threaded-2771 1.... 65us : sys_munmap (sysenter_do_call)
threaded-2771 1.... 66us : profile_munmap (sys_munmap)
threaded-2771 1.... 66us : blocking_notifier_call_chain (profile_munmap)
threaded-2771 1.... 66us : rt_down_read (blocking_notifier_call_chain)ouch! a global rw-semaphore taken in one of the most performance-
sensitive codepaths of the kernel. And i dont even have oprofile
enabled! All distro kernels have CONFIG_PROFILING enabled, so this
scalability problem affects the majority of Linux users.The fix is to enhance blocking_notifier_call_chain() to only take the
lock if there appears to be work on the call-chain.With this patch applied i get nicely saturated system, and much higher
munmap performance, on SMP systems.And as a bonus this also fixes a similar scalability bottleneck in the
thread-exit codepath: profile_task_exit() ...Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
defined as __devinit
AND
__cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
we get a .text refering .init.data warning.This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
are of __init type.Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
land up in .init section.Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.

Commit 5c1e176781f43bc902a51e5832f789756bff911b ("sched: force /sbin/init
off isolated cpus") sets init's cpus_allowed to a subset of cpu_online_map
at boot time, which means that tasks won't be scheduled on cpus that are
added to the system later.Make init's cpus_allowed a subset of cpu_possible_map instead. This should
still preserve the behavior that Nick's change intended.Thanks to Giuliano Pochini for reporting this and testing the fix:

Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken. The biggest
problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls. A
cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with
two narrow exceptions:- if the system is booting
- a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is setBut __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever
these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for
cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()).Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused
unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq(). (which is
only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.)The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to
only allow the narrow exceptions.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

This patch fixes the case when we reparent to a different thread in the
same thread group. This modifies the code so that we do not send
signals and do not change the signal to send to SIGCHLD unless we have
change the thread group of our parents. It also suppresses sending
pdeath_sig in this cas as well since the result of geppid doesn't
change.Thanks to Oleg for spotting my bug of only fixing this for non-ptraced

Christoph Hellwig has expressed concerns that the recent fdtable changes
expose the details of the RCU methodology used to release no-longer-used
fdtable structures to the rest of the kernel. The trivial patch below
addresses these concerns by introducing the appropriate free_fdtable()
calls, which simply wrap the release RCU usage. Since free_fdtable() is a
one-liner, it makes sense to promote it to an inline helper.Signed-off-by: Vadim Lobanov

Commit 2d7d253548cffdce80f4e03664686e9ccb1b0ed7 ("fix cond_resched() fix")
introduced an 'expected_preempt_count' parameter to __resched_legal() to
fix a bug where it was returning a false negative when called from
cond_resched_lock() and preemption was enabled.Unfortunately this broke things for when preemption is disabled.
preempt_count() will always return zero, thus failing the check against any
value of expected_preempt_count not equal to zero. cond_resched_lock() for
example, passes an expected_preempt_count value of 1.So fix the fix for the cond_resched() fix by skipping the check of
preempt_count() against expected_preempt_count when preemption is disabled.Credit should go to Sunil Mushran for spotting the bug during testing.
