The new code that removed the limitation on the execve string size
(which was historically 32 pages) replaced it with a much softer limit
based on RLIMIT_STACK which is usually much larger than the traditional
limit. See commit b6a2fea393 ("mm:
variable length argument support") for details.
However, if you have a small stack limit (perhaps because you need lots
of stacks in a threaded environment), the new heuristic of allowing up
to 1/4th of RLIMIT_STACK to be used for argument and environment strings
could actually be smaller than the old limit.
So just say that it's ok to have up to ARG_MAX strings regardless of the
value of RLIMIT_STACK, and check the rlimit only when going over that
traditional limit.
(Of course, if you actually have a *really* small stack limit, the whole
stack itself will be limited before you hit ARG_MAX, but that has always
been true and is clearly the right behaviour anyway).

This reverts commit cded932b75.
Arjan bisected down a boot-time hang to this, saying:
".. it prevents the kernel to finish booting on my (Penryn based)
laptop. The boot stops right after freeing the init memory."
and while it's not clear exactly what triggers it, at this stage we're
better off just reverting it while Ingo tries to figure out what went
wrong.

Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures,
the traditional sequence of
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
if (CONDITION)
return;
schedule();
is racy wrt another CPU doing
CONDITION = 1;
wake_up_process(p);
because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating
setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION
variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side.
Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and
sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other
architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier,
but that is not generally guaranteed. The write that sets CONDITION
could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock.
However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the
writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt
the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old
state).
This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in
practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will
make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the
spinlock already gave the required protection).

It's always been broken, but recent fixes actually made it do something,
and now the brokenness shows up as the resulting kernel simply not
working at all.
So it used to be that you could enable this config option, and it just
didn't do anything. Now we'd better stop people from enabling it by
mistake, since it _does_ do something, but does it so badly as to be
unusable.
Code to actually make it work is pending, but incomplete and won't be
merged into 2.6.25 in any case.

Commit 58b7983d15 intended to remove the
xfs "Makefile-linux-2.6" file, but it was mistakenly still left in the
tree as a empty file, and would cause git to correctly complain about a
tracked file being removed after a "make distclean" (which removes empty
files as garbage).
And the asm-x86/desc_64.h file was supposed to be removed by commit
c81c6ca45a, but instead stayed around
containing just a single newline.
Get rid of them both properly.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/roland/infiniband:
IB/mthca: Free correct MPT on error exit from mthca_fmr_alloc()
IPoIB/cm: Fix ipoib_cm_dev_stop() cleanup when drain times out
This reverts commit 1f84260c8c, which is
suspected to be the reason for some very occasional and hard-to-trigger
crashes that usually look related to memory allocation (mostly reported
in networking, but since that's generally the most common source of
shortlived allocations - and allocations in interrupt contexts - that in
itself is not a big clue).
See for example
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9973http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/278
etc.
One promising suspicion for what the root cause of bug is (which also
explains why it's so hard to trigger in practice) came from Eric
Dumazet:
"I wonder how SLUB_FASTPATH is supposed to work, since it is affected
by a classical ABA problem of lockless algo.
cmpxchg_local(&c->freelist, object, object[c->offset]) can succeed,
while an interrupt came (on this cpu), and several allocations were
done, and one free was performed at the end of this interruption, so
'object' was recycled.
c->freelist can then contain the previous value (object), but
object[c->offset] was changed by IRQ.
We then put back in freelist an already allocated object."
but another reason for the revert is simply that everybody agrees that
this code was the main suspect just by virtue of the pattern of oopses.
