The I2O ioctls assume 32bits. In itself that is fine as they are old
cards and nobody uses 64bit. However on LKML it was noted this
assumption is also made for allocated memory and is unsafe on 64bit
systems.
Fixing this is a mess. It turns out there is tons of crap buried in a
header file that does racy 32/64bit filtering on the masks.
So we:
- Verify all callers of the racy code can sleep (i2o_dma_[re]alloc)
- Move the code into a new i2o/memory.c file
- Remove the gfp_mask argument so nobody can try and misuse the function
- Wrap a mutex around the problem area (a single mutex is easy to do and
none of this is performance relevant)
- Switch the remaining problem kmalloc holdout to use i2o_dma_alloc

binfmt_script and binfmt_misc disallow recursion to avoid stack overflow
using sh_bang and misc_bang. It causes problem in some cases:
$ echo '#!/bin/ls' > /tmp/t0
$ echo '#!/tmp/t0' > /tmp/t1
$ echo '#!/tmp/t1' > /tmp/t2
$ chmod +x /tmp/t*
$ /tmp/t2
zsh: exec format error: /tmp/t2
Similar problem with binfmt_misc.
This patch introduces field 'recursion_depth' into struct linux_binprm to
track recursion level in binfmt_misc and binfmt_script. If recursion
level more then BINPRM_MAX_RECURSION it generates -ENOEXEC.

Nothing arch specific in get/settimeofday. The details of the timeval
conversion varied a little from arch to arch, but all with the same
results.
Also add an extern declaration for sys_tz to linux/time.h because externs
in .c files are fowned upon. I'll kill the externs in various other files
in a sparate patch.

struct stat / compat_stat is the same on all architectures, so
cp_compat_stat should be, too.
Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some
high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the
SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway.
This patch replaces the arch-specific cp_compat_stat implementations with
a common one based on the x86-64 one.

Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy
behavior. The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too
much system time and I wonder what is responsible.
I try to run readprofile. But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by
default. Dang!
The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we
generally can only bootmem alloc. But, does it hurt to at least try and
runtime-alloc it?
To use:
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile
Then run readprofile like normal.
This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig. I've compile-tested
on a bunch more configs now including a few more architectures.

It's somewhat unlikely that it happens, but right now a race window
between interrupts or machine checks or oopses could corrupt the tainted
bitmap because it is modified in a non atomic fashion.
Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit
operations on it.
Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it
anymore.
It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit
(since it only increases capabilities) so this patch actually removes
code.

is_sync_wait() is used to distinguish between sync and async waits.
Basically sync waits are the ones initialized with init_waitqueue_entry()
and async ones with init_waitqueue_func_entry(). The sync/async
distinction is used only in prepare_to_wait[_exclusive]() and its only
function is to skip setting the current task state if the wait is async.
This has a few problems.
* No one uses it. None of func_entry users use prepare_to_wait()
functions, so the code path never gets executed.
* The distinction is bogus. Maybe back when func_entry is used only
by aio but it's now also used by epoll and in future possibly by 9p
and poll/select.
* Taking @state as argument and ignoring it silenly depending on how
@wait is initialized is just a bad error-prone API.
* It prevents func_entry waits from using wait->private for no good
reason.
This patch kills is_sync_wait() and the associated code paths from
prepare_to_wait[_exclusive](). As there was no user of these code paths,
this patch doesn't cause any behavior difference.

Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make some printks
atomic.
This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol(). I
marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it for
removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be updated.
parisc's print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is currently broken there (it needs
to dereference the function pointer similar to ia64 and power). This
patch shouldn't make anything worse, but it means we need to fix
dereference_function_descriptor() instead of print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
to get meaningful initcall_debug output.

We currently use a PM notifier to disable user mode helpers before suspend
and hibernation and to re-enable them during resume. However, this is not
an ideal solution, because if any drivers want to upload firmware into
memory before suspend, they have to use a PM notifier for this purpose and
there is no guarantee that the ordering of PM notifiers will be as
expected (ie. the notifier that disables user mode helpers has to be run
after the driver's notifier used for uploading the firmware).
For this reason, it seems better to move the disabling and enabling of
user mode helpers to separate functions that will be called by the PM core
as necessary.

A series of patches introduce a generic header file for the software
IO/TLB implementation in lib/swiotlb.c. Currently each architecture using
this code defines the prototypes itself. The prototypes are moved to
include/linux/swiotlb.h and this file is included in architecture specific
code for X86 and IA64.
This patch:
Create include/linux/swiotlb.h file which contains all function prototypes
for the lib/swiotlb.c file.
