This patch takes the CTL_UNNUMBERD concept from NFS and makes it available to
all new sysctl users.
At the same time the sysctl binary interface maintenance documentation is
updated to mention and to describe what is needed to successfully maintain the
sysctl binary interface.

Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary
sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel
will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address
the sysctl maintenance issues.
The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate
sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur. The proc interface
to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated.
By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a
procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the
binary sysctl interface. Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary
sysctl value when not needed.
I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single
sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry. So
this change in behavior should not affect anything.
I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little
disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

Cpu-hotplug locking has a minor race case caused because of setting the
variable "recursive" to NULL *after* releasing the cpu_bitmask_lock in the
function unlock_cpu_hotplug,instead of doing so before releasing the
cpu_bitmask_lock.
This was the cause of most of the recent false spurious lock_cpu_unlock
warnings.
This should fix the problem reported by Martin Lorenz reported in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/29/127.

When I added the entries for the robust futex syscall entries, I
forgot to bump NR_SYSCALLS. The current situation is error-prone
because NR_SYSCALLS lives in entry.S where the system call limit
checks are enforced. Move the definition to asm/unistd.h in order to
make this mistake much more difficult to make.
And wire up sys_migrate_pages since the powerpc folks implemented the
compat wrapper for us.

fragmentation, there is plenty of free memory but no large order pages

This fixes a bug reported in:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7438
tg3_close() turns off the PHY if WoL and ASF are both disabled. On
the next tg3_open(), some devices such as the 5752M will not be
brought up correctly without a PHY reset early in the reset sequence.
The PHY clock is needed for some internal MAC blocks to function
correctly.
This problem is fixed by always resetting the PHY early in
tg3_reset_hw() when it is called from tg3_open() or tg3_resume().
tg3_setup_phy() can then be called later in the sequence without the
reset_phy parameter set to 1, since the PHY reset is already done.
Update version to 3.68.

Calculation of IPX checksum got buggered about 2.4.0. The old variant
mangled the packet; that got fixed, but calculation itself got buggered.
Restored the correct logics, fixed a subtle breakage we used to have even
back then: if the sum is 0 mod 0xffff, we want to return 0, not 0xffff.
The latter has special meaning for IPX (cheksum disabled). Observation

The previous commit (45c18b0bb579b5c1b89f8c99f1b6ffa4c586ba08, aka "Fix
unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access") fixed a
potential oops due to __sigqueue_alloc() getting its "user" pointer out
of sync with switch_user(), and accessing a user pointer that had been
de-allocated on another CPU.
It still left another (much less serious) problem, where a concurrent
__sigqueue_alloc and swich_user could cause sigqueue_alloc to do signal
pending reference counting for a _different_ user than the one it then
actually ended up using. No oops, but we'd end up with the wrong signal
accounting.
Another case of Oleg's eagle-eyes picking up the problem.
This is trivially fixed by just making sure we load whichever "user"
structure we decide to use (it doesn't matter _which_ one we pick, we
just need to pick one) just once.

There's a possible race condition when doing a "switch_uid()" from one
user to another, which could race with another thread doing a signal
allocation and looking at the old thread ->user pointer as it is freed.
This explains an oops reported by Lukasz Trabinski:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/462241
We fix this by delaying the (reference-counted) freeing of the user
structure until the thread signal handler lock has been released, so
that we know that the signal allocation has either seen the new value or
has properly incremented the reference count of the old one.
Race identified by Oleg Nesterov.

Commit 5a06a363ef48444186f18095ae1b932dddbbfa89 ("[PATCH] ipc/msg.c:
clean up coding style") breaks fakeroot on Alpha (variously hangs or
oopses), according to a report by Falk Hueffner.
The fact that the code seems to rely on compiler access ordering through
the use of "volatile" is a pretty certain sign that the code has locking
problems, and we should fix those properly and then remove the whole
"volatile" entirely.
But in the meantime, the movement of "volatile" was unintentional, and
should be reverted.

The user.* extended attributes are only allowed on regular files and
directories. Sticky directories further restrict write access to the owner
and privileged users. (See the attr(5) man page for an explanation.)
The original check in ext2/ext3 when user.* xattrs were merged was more
restrictive than intended, and when the xattr permission checks were moved
into the VFS, read access to user.* attributes on sticky directores ended
up being denied in addition.

sys_move_pages() uses vmalloc() to allocate an array of structures that is
fills with information passed from user mode and then passes to
do_stat_pages() (in the case the node list is NULL). do_stat_pages()
depends on a marker in the node field of the structure to decide how large
the array is and this marker is correctly inserted into the last element of
the array. However, vmalloc() doesn't zero the memory it allocates and if
the user passes NULL for the node list, then the node fields are not filled
in (except for the end marker). If the memory the vmalloc() returned
happend to have a word with the marker value in it in just the right place,
do_pages_stat will fail to fill the status field of part of the array and
we will return (random) kernel data to user mode.

In order to get the __NR_* constants, we need sys/syscall.h.
linux/unistd.h works as well since it includes syscall.h, however syscall.h
is more parsimonious. We were inconsistent in this, and this patch adds
syscall.h includes where necessary and removes linux/unistd.h includes
where they are not needed.
asm/unistd.h also includes the __NR_* constants, but these are not the
glibc-sanctioned ones, so this also removes one such inclusion.

Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened
- a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would
start up again as though nothing had happened.
The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be
executed in the order in the source. When unblock_signals switches signals
from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the
critical section. The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
delivered.
The crucial part is this:
signals_enabled = 1;
save_pending = pending;
if(save_pending == 0)
return;
pending = 0;
In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
signals are enabled.
What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
immediately erased.
When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
wait for the current one to finish. Thus the system hangs until something
else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.
The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
signals and reading the pending signal mask. An xchg would also probably
work.
Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
things:
- make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
in registers
- add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

Callers after reiserfs_init_bitmap_cache() expect errval to contain -EINVAL
until much later. If a condition fails before errval is reset later,
reiserfs_fill_super() will mistakenly return 0, causing an Oops in

I view this as a temporary fix and real error codes should be used

===================================================================
Cause for this problem was,2 successive mutex_lock calls on 2 diffrent inodes ,as shown below
static int
nfsd4_clear_clid_dir(struct dentry *dir, struct dentry *dentry)
{
int status;
/* For now this directory should already be empty, but we empty it of
* any regular files anyway, just in case the directory was created by
* a kernel from the future.... */
nfsd4_list_rec_dir(dentry, nfsd4_remove_clid_file);
mutex_lock(&dir->d_inode->i_mutex);
status = vfs_rmdir(dir->d_inode, dentry);
...
int vfs_rmdir(struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry)
{
int error = may_delete(dir, dentry, 1);
if (error)
return error;
if (!dir->i_op || !dir->i_op->rmdir)
return -EPERM;
DQUOT_INIT(dir);
mutex_lock(&dentry->d_inode->i_mutex);
...
So I have developed the patch to overcome this problem.

Call sysdev_class_unregister() on failure in edac_sysfs_memctrl_setup()
and decrease identation level for clear logic.
