The below patch lets userspace have more control over the inodes that
inotify will watch. It introduces two new flags.
IN_ONLYDIR -- only watch the inode if it is a directory.
This is needed to avoid the race that can occur when we want to be
sure that we are watching a directory.
IN_DONT_FOLLOW -- don't follow a symlink. In combination
with IN_ONLYDIR we can make sure that we don't watch the target of
symlinks.
The issues the flags fix came up when writing the gnome-vfs inotify
backend. Default behaviour is unchanged.

This adds a timestamp field to the events sent via the process event

to determine the order of events with respect to a given task while also
avoiding the addition of per-task data.
This alters the size and layout of the event structure and hence would

Commit f549d6c18c introduced a generic
fallback for security xattrs, but appears to include a subtle bug.
Gentoo users with kernels with selinux compiled in, and coreutils compiled
with acl support, noticed that they could not copy files on tmpfs using
'cp'.
cp (compiled with acl support) copies the file, lists the extended
attributes on the old file, copies them all to the new file, and then
exits. However the listxattr() calls were failing with this odd behaviour:
llistxattr("a.out", (nil), 0) = 17
llistxattr("a.out", 0x7fffff8c6cb0, 17) = -1 ERANGE (Numerical result out of
range)
I believe this is a simple problem in the logic used to check the buffer
sizes; if the user sends a buffer the exact size of the data, then its ok
:)
This change solves the problem.

Reiser4 needs this, because we do more than just freeing memory object
in our RCU callback: we also remove it from the list hanging off
super-block. This means, that before freeing reiser4-specific portion
of super-block (during umount) we have to wait until all pending RCU
callbacks are executed.
The only change of reiser4 made to the original patch, is exporting of

Patch from Lothar Wassmann
The patch makes sure, that the ouptut functions of pins are restored
before restoring the Alternat Function settings, preventing pins from
being intermediately configured for undefined or unwanted alternate
functions.
Here is the original comment:
I've got a PXA270 system that uses GPIO80 as nCS4. This system did
hang on resume. Digging into the problem I found that the processor
stalled immediately when restoring the GAFR2_U register which restored
the alternate function for GPIO80. Since the GPDR registers were
restored after the GAFR registers, the offending GPIO was configured
as input at this point.
Thus the alternate function that was in effect after restoring the
GAFR was in fact the input function "MBREQ" instead of the output
function "nCS4". The "PXA27x Processor Family Developer's Manual"
(Footnote in Table 6-1 on page 6-3) states that:
"The MBREQ alternate function must not be enabled until the PSSR[RDH]
bit field is cleared. For more details, see Table 3-15, "PSSR Bit
Definitions" on page 3-71."
There is another note in the Developer's Manual (chapter 24.4.2
"GPIO operation as Alternate Function" on page 24-4)
stating that:
"Configuring a GPIO for an alternate function that is not defined for
it causes unpredictable results."
Since some GPIOs have no input function defined, and to prevent
inadvertedly programming the MBREQ function on some pin, the GAFR
registers should be restored after the GPDR registers have been
restored.
Additional provisions have to be made when the MBREQ function is
actually required. The corresponding GAFR bits should not be restored
with the regular GAFR restore, but must be set only after the PSSR
bits have been cleared.

A shared mapping doesn't cause COW-pages, so we don't need to worry

logic for the common case.

Patch from Nikola Valerjev
Single stepping an application using ptrace() fails over ARM instructions BX and BLX.
Steps to reproduce:
Compile and link the following files
main.c
-----
void foo();
int main() {
foo();
return 0;
}
foo.s
-----
.text
.globl foo
foo:
BX LR
Using ptrace() functionality, run to main(), and start singlestepping.
Singlestep over \"BX LR\" instruction won\'t transfer the control back
to main, but run the code to completion.
This problems seems to be in the function get_branch_address() in
arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c. The function doesn\'t seem to recognize BX
and BLX instructions as branches. BX and BLX instructions can be used
to convert from ARM to Thumb mode if the target address has the low
bit set. However, they are also perfectly legal in the ARM only mode.
Although other things in the kernel seem to indicate that only ARM
mode is accepted (and not Thumb), many compilers will generate BX
and BLX instructions even when generating ARM only code.

On ppc64, when opening a new hugepage region, we need to make sure any
old normal-page SLBs for the area are flushed on all CPUs. There was
a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into
the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss
handler) only on one CPU, not on all. This could cause incorrect SLB
entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running
simultaneously on several CPUs. This patch corrects the error,
copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm

On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so
between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed.
Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache
clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and
it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this
for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation.
We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying
the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page
in question.

Cache info is setup by walking the device tree in initialize_cache_info().
However, icache_flush_range might be called before that, in
slb_initialize()->patch_slb_encoding, which modifies the load immediate
instructions used with SLB fault code.
Not only that, but depending on memory layout, we might take SLB faults
during unflatten_device_tree. So that fault will load an SLB entry that
might not contain the right LLP flags for the segment.
Either we can walk the flattened device tree to setup cache info, or
we can pick the known defaults that are known to work. Doing it in the
flattened device tree is hairier since we need to know the machine type
to know what property to look for, etc, etc.
For now, it's just easier to go with the defaults. Worst thing that
happens from it is that we might waste a few cycles doing too small
