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.

removes obsolete and misleading comments. This header is not for

Constant folding does not work for the swabXX() byte swapping functions,
and the C versions optimize poorly.
Attempting to initialize a global variable to swab16(0x1234) or put
something like "case swab32(42):" in a switch statement will not compile.
It can work, swab.h just isn't doing it correctly. This patch fixes that.
Contrary to the comment in asm-i386/byteorder.h, gcc does not recognize the
"C" version of swab16 and turn it into efficient code. gcc can do this,
just not with the current code. The simple function:
u16 foo(u16 x) { return swab16(x); }
Would compile to:
movzwl %ax, %eax
movl %eax, %edx
shrl $8, %eax
sall $8, %edx
orl %eax, %edx
With this patch, it will compile to:
rolw $8, %ax
I also attempted to document the maze different macros/inline functions
that are used to create the final product.

This past week I was playing around with that pahole tool
(http://oops.ghostprotocols.net:81/acme/dwarves/) and looking at the size
of various struct in the kernel. I was surprised by the size of the
task_struct on x86_64, approaching 4K. I looked through the fields in
task_struct and found that a number of them were declared as "unsigned
long" rather than "unsigned int" despite them appearing okay as 32-bit
sized fields. On x86_64 "unsigned long" ends up being 8 bytes in size and
forces 8 byte alignment. Is there a reason there a reason they are
"unsigned long"?
The patch below drops the size of the struct from 3808 bytes (60 64-byte
cachelines) to 3760 bytes (59 64-byte cachelines). A couple other fields
in the task struct take a signficant amount of space:
struct thread_struct thread; 688
struct held_lock held_locks[30]; 1680
CONFIG_LOCKDEP is turned on in the .config

There are two problems with the existing redzone implementation.
Firstly, it's causing misalignment of structures which contain a 64-bit
integer, such as netfilter's 'struct ipt_entry' -- causing netfilter
modules to fail to load because of the misalignment. (In particular, the
first check in
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c::check_entry_size_and_hooks())
On ppc32 and sparc32, amongst others, __alignof__(uint64_t) == 8.
With slab debugging, we use 32-bit redzones. And allocated slab objects
aren't sufficiently aligned to hold a structure containing a uint64_t.
By _just_ setting ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to __alignof__(u64) we'd disable
redzone checks on those architectures. By using 64-bit redzones we avoid that
loss of debugging, and also fix the other problem while we're at it.
When investigating this, I noticed that on 64-bit platforms we're using a
32-bit value of RED_ACTIVE/RED_INACTIVE in the 64-bit memory location set
aside for the redzone. Which means that the four bytes immediately before
or after the allocated object at 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 for LE and BE
machines, respectively. Which is probably not the most useful choice of
poison value.
One way to fix both of those at once is just to switch to 64-bit
redzones in all cases.
