set_tracer_flags() have a local variable named trace_flags which has
the same name than a global one in the same scope.
This leads to confusion, using tracer_flags should be better by its
meaning.

Commit d945cb9cc ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering
logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which
then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data
properly when the tty is stopped.
So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc
layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty. The pty write()
routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check
'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written.
This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc
layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things,
but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped'
handling.

PCI hotplug: SGI hotplug: do not use hotplug_slot_attr
PCI hotplug: SGI hotplug: fix build failure
Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case:
| pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case
| in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong
| CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success
| section.
I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact
that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no
serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in
the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle
counter was read without proper serialization.
The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since
_inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has
the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration.
So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one
that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the
final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized.
In other words:
- I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last
iteration, rather than in every iteration
- I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a
serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read.
Here's a suggested replacement.

We compute the perf raw sample size by aligning the raw ftrace
event size plus the buffer size field itself. We do that
instead of aligning only the perf raw sample size, so that we
might economize some in some cases.
But this buffer size field is not stored in the perf raw
sample, we must then substract its size from the buffer once we
computed the alignment unless we may get a useless u32 field in
the buffer.

The problem is minor, but without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.
Now we do not need to re-check task->mm after ptrace_may_access(), it
can't be changed to the new mm under us.
Strictly speaking, this also fixes another very minor problem. Unless
security check fails or the task exits mm_for_maps() should never
return NULL, the caller should get either old or new ->mm.

It would be nice to kill __ptrace_may_access(). It requires task_lock(),
but this lock is only needed to read mm->flags in the middle.
Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies
the code a little bit.
Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think
mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should
take this lock.
With or without this patch, without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.

On an iMac G5, the b43 driver is failing to initialise because trying to
set the dma mask to 30-bit fails. Even though there's only 512MiB of RAM
in the machine anyway:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514787
We should probably let it succeed if the available RAM in the system
doesn't exceed the requested limit.
