struct clocksource is a critical data structure.
Most of its fields are read only, some of them are heavily modified at each
timer interrupt.
It makes sense to separate those fields and make sure they all share one
cache line, or at least the minimum for machines with small cache lines.

Add a new deferrable delayed work init. This can be used to schedule work
that are 'unimportant' when CPU is idle and can be called later, when CPU
eventually comes out of idle.
Use this init in cpufreq ondemand governor.

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().

Currently a parport_driver can't get a handle on the device node for the
underlying parport (PNPACPI, PCI, etc). That prevents correct placement of
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.

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

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

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.

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/...

There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse
based filesystems.
From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and
fuseblk. From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem
types. The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based
or not. So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be
represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts.
The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount
source. So an sshfs mount looks like this:
sshfs#user@server:/ /mnt/server fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,...
This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems. However
for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since
the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name.
A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type
field as "type.subtype". So fuse mounts would look like this:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows fuseblk.ntfs-3g rw,...
user@server:/ /mnt/server fuse.sshfs rw,nosuid,nodev,...
This patch adds the necessary code to the kernel so that this can be
correctly displayed in /proc/mounts.

PNP now initializes device dma masks, which prevents oopses when generic
dma calls are made using pnp device nodes.
This assumes PNP only uses ISA DMA, with 24 bit addresses; and that it's
safe to init those masks for all devices (rather than finding out which
devices have been assigned DMA channels, and handling only those).

sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated
namespaces. But they have different code paths.
This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone
handling (as much as possible). Posted on container list earlier for
feedback.
- Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to
caller to attach it to right process.
- Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace
instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy.
- Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines.
- Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON()
just incase.
- Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of
copy_*_ns() instead.

There doesn't seem to be much point in letting individual architectures
independently define the same Kconfig option when it can just as easily be
put in a single Kconfig file and made dependent on a subset of
architectures. that way, at least the option shows up in the same relative
location in the menu each time.
