Add touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs() to allow the softlockup watchdog
timers on all cpus to be updated. This is used to prevent sysrq-t from
generating a spurious watchdog message when generating lots of output.
Softlockup watchdogs use sched_clock() as its timebase, which is inherently
per-cpu (at least, when it is measuring unstolen time). Because of this,
it isn't possible for one CPU to directly update the other CPU's timers,
but it is possible to tell the other CPUs to do update themselves
appropriately.

The softlockup watchdog is currently a nuisance in a virtual machine, since
the whole system could have the CPU stolen from it for a long period of
time. While it would be unlikely for a guest domain to be denied timer
interrupts for over 10s, it could happen and any softlockup message would
be completely spurious.
Earlier I proposed that sched_clock() return time in unstolen nanoseconds,
which is how Xen and VMI currently implement it. If the softlockup
watchdog uses sched_clock() to measure time, it would automatically ignore
stolen time, and therefore only report when the guest itself locked up.
When running native, sched_clock() returns real-time nanoseconds, so the
behaviour would be unchanged.
Note that sched_clock() used this way is inherently per-cpu, so this patch
makes sure that the per-processor watchdog thread initialized its own
timestamp.

struct clocksource is a critical data structure.

It makes sense to separate those fields and make sure they all share one

Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally
when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to
service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be
serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable
timer.
The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when
CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until
next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer
event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy,
allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing
unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption.
This patch:
Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses
last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable
timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable
timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up.
This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be
called in place of regular init_timer().

sysfs child nodes, which can affect things like power management.
This patch adds a field to "struct parport" pointing to that device node, and
updates non-legacy port drivers to initialize that device pointer. That field
replaces the analagous PCI-only support in parport_pc.

While researching the tty layer pid leaks I found a weird case in selinux when
we drop a controlling tty because of inadequate permissions we don't do the
normal hangup processing. Which is a problem if it happens the session leader
has exec'd something that can no longer access the tty.
We already have code in the kernel to handle this case in the form of the
TIOCNOTTY ioctl. So this patch factors out a helper function that is the
essence of that ioctl and calls it from the selinux code.
This removes the inconsistency in handling dropping of a controlling tty and
who knows it might even make some part of user space happy because it received
a SIGHUP it was expecting.
In addition since this removes the last user of proc_set_tty outside of
tty_io.c proc_set_tty is made static and removed from tty.h

The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the
CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major
problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore
any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel
command line).
This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot
console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will
become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the
boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the
handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly.
Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the
output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages.
The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly
disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically
with that patch.
I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances
found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The
code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).

The jsm driver doesn't currently use the uart_handle_*_change helper
functions, which are the obvious place for things like linuxpps to tie
into (which it now does of course), and as a result the jsm driver can
not be used with linuxpps and anything else that ties into the
serial_core helper functions. This patch adds calls to these helper
functions whenever the value they manage changes. That actual storage
of the state is not modified since the jsm driver caches the current
settings (The 8250 driver reads them everytime a user asks for the
state), and only updates them whenever they change.

The jsm driver fails when you try to use the TIOCSSERIAL ioctl. The reason
is that the driver never sets uart_port.uartclk, causing the data received
using TIOCGSERIAL to not match the internal state of the driver. This
patch fixes this problem by settings the uartclk to the value used by the
serial_core (16 times the baud base).

Switch from private uclong, etc over to standard types.

At least on x86_64 the present cyclades.h is broken due to the wrong size
of uclong. This affects, of course, both the kernel and the user-level
utilities. The symptom is that cyzload refuses to load the firmware. I
also managed to freeze the machine when unloading the module.
The patch below fixes this in an architecture-independent way. I have
tested it with 2.6.19 and the driver works fine again with a Cyclades-Z on
an Athlon 64 X2.

Kprobes doesn't scribble the kprobe.symbol_name field. Its only set by the

using the "const" qualifier will see warnings...

Adds the needed TCGETS2/TCSETS2 ioctl calls, structures, defines and the like.
Tested against the test suite and passes. Other platforms should need

1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'. This method
called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for
special filesystems. It is called without locks.
Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all
pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now
use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen);
2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations
3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket
creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
/proc/pid/fd/...
4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe
creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
/proc/pid/fd/...
A benchmark consisting of 1.000.000 calls to pipe()/close()/close() gives a
*nice* speedup on my Pentium(M) 1.6 Ghz :

/proc/PID/task/TID/fdinfo/FD
For each fd the information is provided in the following format:
pos: 1234

Change the order of fields of struct pid_entry (file fs/proc/base.c) in order
to avoid a hole on 64bit archs. (8 bytes saved per object)
Also change all pid_entry arrays to be const qualified, to make clear they
must not be modified.
Before (on x86_64) :
# size fs/proc/base.o
text data bss dec hex filename
15549 2192 0 17741 454d fs/proc/base.o
After :
# size fs/proc/base.o
text data bss dec hex filename
17229 176 0 17405 43fd fs/proc/base.o
Thats 336 bytes saved on kernel size on x86_64

The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues:
- maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
- maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference
see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
- a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.
This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob
/proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
the procfs documentation.
