The sunrpc stats are collected in unsigned integers, but they are printed
with '%d'. That can result in negative numbers in /proc/net/rpc when the
highest bit of a counter is set. The following patch changes '%d' to '%u'
where appropriate.

Based on a patch from Andr Pereira de Almeida <andre@cachola.com.br>
It might be possible for the saved pointer (*p) to become invalid in
between vc_resizes, so saving the screen offset instead of the screen
pointer is saner.
This bug is very hard to trigger though, but Andre probably did, if he's
submitting this patch. Anyway, with Andre's patch, it's still possible for
the offsets to be still illegal, if the new screen size is smaller than the
old one. So I've also added checks if the offsets are still within the
screenbuffer size.

posix_timer_event() first checks that the thread (SIGEV_THREAD_ID case)
does not have PF_EXITING flag, then it calls send_sigqueue() which locks
task list. But if the thread exits in between the kernel will oops
(->sighand == NULL after __exit_sighand).
This patch moves the PF_EXITING check into the send_sigqueue(), it must be
done atomically under tasklist_lock. When send_sigqueue() detects exiting
thread it returns -1. In that case posix_timer_event will send the signal
to thread group.
Also, this patch fixes task_struct use-after-free in posix_timer_event.

Every time cramfs_lookup() is called to lookup and inode for a dentry,
get_cramfs_inode() will allocate a new inode without checking to see if that
inode already exists in the inode cache.
This is fine the first time, but if the dentry cache entry(ies) associated
with that inode are aged out, but the inode entry is not aged out (which can
be quite common if the inode has buffer cache linked to it), cramfs_lookup()
will be called again and another inode will be allocated and added to the
inode cache creating a duplicate in the inode cache.
The big issue here is that the buffers associated with each inode cache entry
are not shared between the duplicates!
The older inode entries are now orphaned as no dentry points to it and won't
be freed until the buffer cache assoicated with them are first freed. The
newest entry will have to create all new buffer cache for each part of its
file as the old buffer cache is now orphaned as well.
Patch below fixes this by making get_cramfs_inode() use the inode cache before
blindly creating a new entry every time. This eliminates the duplicate inodes
and duplicate buffer cache.

The patch removes a redundant variable `sig' from sys_prctl().
For some reason, when sys_prctl is called with option == PR_SET_PDEATHSIG
then the value of arg2 is assigned to an int variable named sig. Then sig
is tested with valid_signal() and later used to set the value of
current->pdeath_signal .
There is no reason to use this intermediate variable since valid_signal()
takes a unsigned long argument, so it can handle being passed arg2
directly, and if the call to valid_signal is OK, then we know the value of
arg2 is in the range zero to _NSIG and thus it'll easily fit in a plain int
and thus there's no problem assigning it later to current->pdeath_signal
(which is an int).
The patch gets rid of the pointless variable `sig'.
This reduces the size of kernel/sys.o in 2.6.13-rc6-mm1 by 32 bytes on my
system.
Patch has been compile tested, boot tested, and just to make damn sure I
didn't break anything I wrote a quick test app that calls
prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG ...) with the entire range of values for a
unsigned long, and it behaves as expected with and without the patch.

There is a problem in the accounting subsystem in the kernel can not
correctly handle files larger than 2GB. The output file containing the
process accounting data can grow very large if the system is large enough
and active enough. If the 2GB limit is reached, then the system simply
stops storing process accounting data.
Another annoying problem is that once the system reaches this 2GB limit,
then every process which exits will receive a signal, SIGXFSZ. This signal
is generated because an attempt was made to write beyond the limit for the
file descriptor. This signal makes it look like every process has exited
due to a signal, when in fact, they have not.
The solution is to add the O_LARGEFILE flag to the list of flags used to
open the accounting file. The rest of the accounting support is already
largefile safe.
The changes were tested by constructing a large file (just short of 2GB),
enabling accounting, and then running enough commands to cause the
accounting data generated to increase the size of the file to 2GB. Without
the changes, the file grows to 2GB and the last command run in the test
script appears to exit due a signal when it has not. With the changes,
things work as expected and quietly.
There are some user level changes required so that it can deal with
largefiles, but those are being handled separately.

The i386 OProfile code has a function named nmi_exit(), which collides with
the nmi_exit() macro in linux/hardirq.h. At the moment, we get away with
it, because hardirq.h isn't included in the oprofile code. I hit this as a
bug when working with a patch which (indirectly) adds a #include of
hardirq.h to oprofile.
Regardless, the name collision is probably not a good idea, so this patch
fixes it, renaming the oprofile function to op_nmi_exit(). It also renames
the nmi_init() and nmi_timer_init() functions similarly, for consistency.

Since early userspace was added, there's no way to override which init to
run from it. Some people tack on an extra cpio archive with a link from
/init depending on what they want to run, but that's sometimes impractical.
Changing the "init=" to also override the early userspace isn't feasible,
since it is still used to indicate what init to run from disk when early
userspace has completed doing whatever it's doing (i.e. load filesystem
modules and drivers).
Instead, introduce "rdinit=" and make it override the default "/init" if
specified.
