Writing a zero length string to sys/.../current_clocksource will cause
a NULL pointer dereference if the clock events system is in one shot
(highres or nohz) mode.

asm/fpu.h uses the __IA64_UL macro which is declared in asm/types.h, so
this include is really required. Without it, GNU libc fails to build.

Block driver ioctl methods must return ENOTTY and not -ENOIOCTLCMD if
they expect the block layer to handle generic ioctls.
This triggered a BLKROSET failure in xfsqa #200.

By default a block driver bounces highmem requests, but virtio-blk is
perfectly fine with any request that fit into it's 64 bit addressing scheme,
mapped in the kernel virtual space or not.
Besides improving performance on highmem systems this also makes the
reproducible oops in __bounce_end_io go away (but hiding the real cause).

ftrace_trace_onoff_callback() will return an error even if we do the
right operation, for example:
# echo _spin_*:traceon:10 > set_ftrace_filter
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
_spin_trylock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_irq:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_irq:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock:traceon:count=10
_spin_trylock:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_irqrestore:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_irqsave:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock:traceon:count=10
We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains
with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful.
This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that
matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned
by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes
virtually written.
Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case.
If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written
by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with
a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned.
So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.
The fix also applies on 2.6.30

If a tty in N_TTY mode with echo enabled manages to get itself into a state
where
- echo characters are pending
- FASYNC is enabled
- tty_write_wakeup is called from either
- a device write path (pty)
- an IRQ (serial)
then it either deadlocks or explodes taking a mutex in the IRQ path.
On the serial side it is almost impossible to reproduce because you have to
go from a full serial port to a near empty one with echo characters
pending. The pty case happens to have become possible to trigger using
emacs and ptys, the pty changes having created a scenario which shows up
this bug.
The code path is
n_tty:process_echoes() (takes mutex)
tty_io:tty_put_char()
pty:pty_write (or serial paths)
tty_wakeup (from pty_write or serial IRQ)
n_tty_write_wakeup()
process_echoes()
