update_vsyscall() did not provide the wall_to_monotoinc offset,
so arch specific implementations tend to reference wall_to_monotonic
directly. This limits future cleanups in the timekeeping core, so
this patch fixes the update_vsyscall interface to provide
wall_to_monotonic, allowing wall_to_monotonic to be made static
as planned in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt

After accidentally misusing timespec_add_safe, I wanted to make sure
we don't accidently trip over that issue again, so I created a simple
timespec_add() function which we can use to replace the instances
of timespec_add_safe() that don't want the overflow detection.

Immediately following an exit from the kdb shell the kgdb_connected
variable should be set to zero, unless there are breakpoints planted.
If the kgdb_connected variable is not zeroed out with kdb, it is
impossible to turn off kdb.
This patch is merely a work around for now, the real fix will check
for the breakpoints.

In the process of merging kdb to the mainline, the kdb lsmod command
stopped printing the base load address of kernel modules. This is
needed for using kdb in conjunction with external tools such as gdb.
Simply restore the functionality by adding a kdb_printf for the base
load address of the kernel modules.

The gdbserial protocol handler should return an empty packet instead
of an error string when ever it responds to a command it does not
implement.
The problem cases come from a debugger client sending
qTBuffer, qTStatus, qSearch, qSupported.
The incorrect response from the gdbstub leads the debugger clients to
not function correctly. Recent versions of gdb will not detach correctly as a result of this behavior.

With commits 08677214 and 59be5a8e, alloc_bootmem()/free_bootmem() and

We should initialize the module dynamic debug datastructures
only after determining that the module is not loaded yet. This
fixes a bug that introduced in 2.6.35-rc2, where when a trying
to load a module twice, we also load it's dynamic printing data
twice which causes all sorts of nasty issues. Also handle
the dynamic debug cleanup later on failure.

futex_find_get_task is currently used (through lookup_pi_state) from two
contexts, futex_requeue and futex_lock_pi_atomic. None of the paths
looks it needs the credentials check, though. Different (e)uids
shouldn't matter at all because the only thing that is important for
shared futex is the accessibility of the shared memory.
The credentail check results in glibc assert failure or process hang (if
glibc is compiled without assert support) for shared robust pthread
mutex with priority inheritance if a process tries to lock already held
lock owned by a process with a different euid:
pthread_mutex_lock.c:312: __pthread_mutex_lock_full: Assertion `(-(e)) != 3 || !robust' failed.
The problem is that futex_lock_pi_atomic which is called when we try to
lock already held lock checks the current holder (tid is stored in the
futex value) to get the PI state. It uses lookup_pi_state which in turn
gets task struct from futex_find_get_task. ESRCH is returned either
when the task is not found or if credentials check fails.
futex_lock_pi_atomic simply returns if it gets ESRCH. glibc code,
however, doesn't expect that robust lock returns with ESRCH because it
should get either success or owner died.

When crashkernel is not enabled, "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size"
OOPSes the kernel in crash_shrink_memory. This happens when
crash_shrink_memory tries to release the 'crashk_res' resource which are
not reserved. Also value of "/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" shows as 1,
which should be 0.
This patch fixes the OOPS in crash_shrink_memory and shows
"/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" as 0 when crash kernel memory is not
reserved.

Because cgroup_fork() is ran before sched_fork() [ from copy_process() ]
and the child's pid is not yet visible the child is pinned to its
cgroup. Therefore we can silence this warning.
A nicer solution would be moving cgroup_fork() to right after
dup_task_struct() and exclude PF_STARTING from task_subsys_state().

The task_group() function returns a pointer that must be protected
by either RCU, the ->alloc_lock, or the cgroup lock (see the
rcu_dereference_check() in task_subsys_state(), which is invoked by
task_group()). The wake_affine() function currently does none of these,
which means that a concurrent update would be within its rights to free
the structure returned by task_group(). Because wake_affine() uses this
structure only to compute load-balancing heuristics, there is no reason
to acquire either of the two locks.
Therefore, this commit introduces an RCU read-side critical section that
starts before the first call to task_group() and ends after the last use
of the "tg" pointer returned from task_group(). Thanks to Li Zefan for
pointing out the need to extend the RCU read-side critical section from
that proposed by the original patch.
