I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were
slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in
a cache line that contained inodes_stat. So each time inodes_stats is
changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line.
This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to
avoid false sharing. RCU dentry lookups can go full speed.

Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
(and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets. Since the
existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
places where it makes sense. The same thing was discussed and conceptually
agreed quite some time ago:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116
Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it. As far
as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is. The
pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files. The other attached diff
is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
definition.
There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c
It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

Eliminate a handful of cache references by keeping current in a register
instead of reloading (helps x86) and avoiding the overhead of a function
call. Inlining eventpoll_init_file() saves 24 bytes. Also reorder file
initialization to make writes occur more sequentially.

Semaphore to mutex conversion.
The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
automatically via a script as well.

Al found a potential problem in epoll_create(), where the
file->private_data member was set after fd_install(). This is obviously
wrong since another thread might do a close() on that fd# before we set the
file->private_data member. This goes over 2.6.13 and passes a few basic
tests I've done here.
(akpm: snuck in a kzalloc() cleanup too)

This patch gets rid of some macro obfuscation from fs/eventpoll.c by
removing slab allocator wrappers and converting macros to static inline
functions.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
