Add smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to unlock_kiocb()
AIO's use of wait_on_bit_lock()/wake_up_bit() forgot to add a barrier
between clearing its lock bit and calling wake_up_bit() so wake_up_bit()'s
unlocked waitqueue_active() can race. This puts AIO's use in line with the
others and the comment above wake_up_bit().

Kill an unused member of the i2c_adapter structure. This additionally
fixes a potential bug, because <linux/i2c.h> doesn't include
<linux/config.h>, so different files including <linux/i2c.h> could see a
different definition of the i2c_adapter structure, depending on them
including <linux/config.h> (or other header files themselves including
<linux/config.h>) before <linux/i2c.h>, or not.

Al found a potential problem in epoll_create(), where the
file->private_data member was set after fd_install(). This is obviously
wrong since another thread might do a close() on that fd# before we set the
file->private_data member. This goes over 2.6.13 and passes a few basic
tests I've done here.

BUG fixes:
The driver used to allocate memory with spinlock held which has been
fixed in this patch.
The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid
entry in image_type. The fix is to only print a warning message and not
the buffer.
Usability enhancements:
It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the
only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver.
This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to
image_type.
This patch has been tested with Libsmbios and Dell OpenManage.

2.6.13 incorporated Alan Cox's patch for /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable (one
version of this patch can be found here
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109647550421014&w=2 ).
This patch also made corresponding changes in kernel/sys.c to change the
prctl() PR_SET_DUMPABLE operation so that the permitted range of 'arg2' was
modified from 0..1 to 0..2.
However, a corresponding change was not made for PR_GET_DUMPABLE: if the
dumpable flag is non-zero, then PR_GET_DUMPABLE always returns 1, so that
the caller can't determine the true setting of this flag.

The poster child for this patch is the third tuntap_user hunk. When an ioctl
fails, it properly closes the opened file descriptor and returns. However,
the close resets errno to 0, and the 'return errno' that follows returns 0
rather than the value that ioctl set. This caused the caller to believe that
the device open succeeded and had opened file descriptor 0, which caused no
end of interesting behavior.
The rest of this patch is a pass through the UML sources looking for places
where errno could be reset before being passed back out. A common culprit is
printk, which could call write, being called before errno is returned.
In some cases, where the code ends up being much smaller, I just deleted the
printk.
There was another case where a caller of run_helper looked at errno after a
failure, rather than the return value of run_helper, which was the errno value
that it wanted.

This patch implements a stack trace for a thread, not unlike sysrq-t does.
The advantage to this is that a break point can be placed on showreqs, so that
upon showing the stack, you jump immediately into the debugger. While sysrq-t
does the same thing, sysrq-t shows *all* threads stacks. It also doesn't work
right now. In the future, I thought it might be acceptable to make this show
all pids stacks, but perhaps leaving well enough alone and just using sysrq-t
would be okay. For now, upon receiving the stack command, UML switches
context to that thread, dumps its registers, and then switches context back to
the original thread. Since UML compacts all threads into one of 4 host
threads, this sort of mechanism could be expanded in the future to include
other debugging helpers that sysrq does not cover.
Note by jdike - The main benefit to this is that it brings an arbitrary thread
back into context, where it can be examined by gdb. The fact that it dumps it
stack is secondary. This provides the capability to examine a sleeping
thread, which has existed in tt mode, but not in skas mode until now.
Also, the other threads, that sysrq doesn't cover, can be gdb-ed directly
anyway.
