The problem is various drivers legally validly and sensibly try to claim
IRQs but the kernel insists on vomiting forth a giant irrelevant debugging
spew when the types clash.
Edit kernel/irq/manage.c go down to mismatch: in setup_irq() and ifdef out
the if clause that checks for mismatches. It'll then just do the right
thing and work sanely.
For the current -mm kernel this will do the trick (and moves it into shared
irq debugging as in debug mode the info spew is useful). I've had a
variant of this in my private tree for some time as I got fed up on the
mess on boxes where old legacy IRQs get reused.

Drivers registering IRQ handlers with SA_SHIRQ really ought to be able to
handle an interrupt happening before request_irq() returns. They also
ought to be able to handle an interrupt happening during the start of their
call to free_irq(). Let's test that hypothesis....

* Split the implementation-agnostic stuff in separate files.
* Make sure that targets using non-default request_irq() pull
kernel/irq/devres.o
* Introduce new symbols (HAS_IOPORT and HAS_IOMEM) defaulting to positive;
allow architectures to turn them off (we needed these symbols anyway for
dependencies of quite a few drivers).
* protect the ioport-related parts of lib/devres.o with CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT.

If you try to read things like /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease with single-byte
reads, you get just one byte and then EOF. This is because _proc_do_string()
assumes that the caller is read()ing into a buffer which is large enough to
fit the whole string in a single hit.
Fix.

The order of locking between lockdep_off/on() and local_irq_save/restore() in
vprintk() should be changed.
* In kernel/printk.c :
vprintk() does :
preempt_disable()
local_irq_save()
lockdep_off()
spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock)
if(!down_trylock(&console_sem))
up(&console_sem)
lockdep_on()
local_irq_restore()
preempt_enable()
The goals here is to make sure we do not call printk() recursively from
kernel/lockdep.c:__lock_acquire() (called from spin_* and down/up) nor from
kernel/lockdep.c:trace_hardirqs_on/off() (called from local_irq_restore/save).
It can then potentially call printk() through mark_held_locks/mark_lock.
It correctly protects against the spin_lock call and the up/down call, but it
does not protect against local_irq_restore. It could cause infinite recursive
printk/trace_hardirqs_on() calls when printk() is called from the
mark_lock() error handing path.
We should change the locking so it becomes correct :
preempt_disable()
lockdep_off()
local_irq_save()
spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock)
if(!down_trylock(&console_sem))
up(&console_sem)
local_irq_restore()
lockdep_on()
preempt_enable()

gcc emits this warning:
kernel/auditfilter.c: In function 'audit_filter_user':
kernel/auditfilter.c:1611: warning: 'state' is used uninitialized in this function
I tend to agree with gcc - there are a couple of plausible exit paths from
audit_filter_user_rules() where it does not set 'state', keeping the
variable uninitialized. For example if a filter rule has an AUDIT_POSSIBLE
action. Initialize to 'wont audit'. Fix whitespace damage too.

I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same
sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of
the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit.
Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it
would be the best tested.
This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but
instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

The 32bit and 64bit PARISC Linux kernels suffers from the problem, that the
gettimeofday() call sometimes returns non-monotonic times.
The easiest way to fix this, is to drop the PARISC-specific implementation
and switch over to the generic TIME_INTERPOLATION framework.
But in order to make it even compile on 32bit PARISC, the patch below which
touches the generic Linux code, is mandatory.
More information and the full patch with the parisc-specific changes is included in this thread: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-December/031003.html
As far as I could see, this patch does not change anything for the existing
architectures which use this framework (IA64 and SPARC64), since "cycles_t"
is defined there as unsigned 64bit-integer anyway (which then makes this
patch a no-change for them).

Allow taint flags to be set from userspace by writing to
/proc/sys/kernel/tainted, and add a new taint flag, TAINT_USER, to be used
when userspace has potentially done something dangerous that might
compromise the kernel. This will allow support personnel to ask further
questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set.
For example, they might examine the logs of the realtime JVM to see if the
Java program has used the really silly, stupid, dangerous, and
completely-non-portable direct access to physical memory feature which MUST
be implemented according to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ).
Sigh. What were those silly people at Sun thinking?

Mathieu originally needed to add this for tracing Xen, but it's something
that's needed for any application that can be tracing while cpus are added.
unplug isn't supported by this patch. The thought was that at minumum a new
buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort
to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the
channel was closed.

- returns after DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON added in 3 places
- debug_locks checking after lookup_chain_cache() added in
__lock_acquire()
- locking for testing and changing global variable max_lockdep_depth
added in __lock_acquire()
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
My __acquire_lock() cleanup introduced a locking bug: on SMP systems we'd
release a non-owned graph lock. Fix this by moving the graph unlock back,
and by leaving the max_lockdep_depth variable update possibly racy. (we
dont care, it's just statistics)
Also add some minimal debugging code to graph_unlock()/graph_lock(),
which caught this locking bug.

don't look at underlying type granularity
3) if 0 < *oldlenp < table->maxlen,
*cough*
string sysctls don't writeback more than *oldlenp bytes.
OK, that's because sizeof(char) == 1
int sysctls writeback anything in (0, table->maxlen] range
Though accept integers divisible by sizeof(int) for writing.
sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_ms_jiffies don't writeback anything but
sizeof(int), which violates 1) and 2).
So, make sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_ms_jiffies accept
a) *oldlenp == 0, not doing writeback
b) *oldlenp >= sizeof(int), writing one integer.
-EINVAL still returned for *oldlenp == 1, 2, 3.

kernel/time/clocksource.c needs struct task_struct on m68k.
Because it uses spin_unlock_irq(), which, on m68k, uses hardirq_count(), which
uses preempt_count(), which needs to dereference struct task_struct, we
have to include sched.h. Because it would cause a loop inclusion, we
cannot include sched.h in any other of asm-m68k/system.h,
linux/thread_info.h, linux/hardirq.h, which leaves this ugly include in
a C file as the only simple solution.

Make the userland interface of swsusp call pm_ops->finish() after
enable_nonboot_cpus() and before resume_device(), as indicated by the recent
discussion on Linux-PM (cf.
http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2006-November/004164.html).
This patch changes the SNAPSHOT_PMOPS ioctl so that its first function,
PMOPS_PREPARE, only sets a switch turning the platform suspend mode on, and
its last function, PMOPS_FINISH, only checks if the platform mode is enabled.
This should allow the older userland tools to work with new kernels without
any modifications.
The changes here only affect the userland interface of swsusp.
