This patch reverts commit c33880aadd since
it's not needed anymore. As pointed out by Roland McGrath the real fix
is to deliver all signals before returning to user space.
See http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0509.2/0683.html

The access_ok_tt() macro is bogus, in that a read access is unconditionally
considered valid.
I couldn't find in SCM logs the introduction of this check, but I went back to
2.4.20-1um and the definition was the same.
Possibly this was done to avoid problems with missing set_fs() calls, but
there can't be any I think because they would fail with SKAS mode.
TT-specific code is still to check.
Also, this patch joins common code together, and makes the "address range
wrapping" check happen for all cases, rather than for only some.
This may, possibly, be reoptimized at some time, but the current code doesn't
seem clever, just confused.
* Important: I've also had to change references to access_ok_{tt,skas} back to
access_ok - the kernel wasn't that happy otherwise.

We were using a long series of (stupid) wrappers which all call
generic_console_write(). Since the wrappers only change the 4th param, which
is unused by the called proc, remove them and call generic_console_write()
directly.
If needed at any time in the future to reintroduce this stuff, the member
could be moved to a generic struct, to avoid this duplicated handling.

printk clears the host errno (I verified this in debugging and it's reasonable
enough, given that it ends via a write call on some fd, especially since
printk() goes on /dev/tty0 which is often the host stdout). So save errno
earlier. There's no reason to change the printk calls to use -err rather than
errno - the assignment can't clear errno.
And in the first failure path, we used to return 0 too (and this time more
clearly), which is totally wrong. 0 is a success fd, which is then registered
and gives a "registering fd twice" warning.
Finally, fix up some whitespace.

The below warning was added in place of pte_mkyoung(); if (is_write)
pte_mkdirty();
In fact, if the PTE is not marked young/dirty, our dirty/accessed bit
emulation would cause the TLB permission not to be changed, and so we'd loop,
and given we don't support preemption yet, we'd busy-hang here.
However, I've seen this warning trigger without crashes during a loop of
concurrent kernel builds, at random times (i.e. like a race condition), and I
realized that two concurrent faults on the same page, one on read and one on
write, can trigger it. The read fault gets serviced and the PTE gets marked
writable but clean (it's possible on a shared-writable mapping), while the
generic code sees the PTE was already installed and returns without action. In
this case, we'll see another fault and service it normally.

In Uml, many definitions are borrowed from underlying subarch headers (with
#include <asm/arch/stuff.h>). And it has become annoying to keep switching
tag files all time, so by default index the underlying subarch headers too.
Btw, it adds negligible space to the tags file (less than 1M surely, IIRC it
was around 500k over 40M).
Finally, preserve the ALLSOURCE_ARCHS command line option (I hope) - if it is
set, it is used for headers too as before. But check my construct please, I
didn't test this.

new helper - task_thread_info(task). On platforms that have thread_info
allocated separately (i.e. in default case) it simply returns
task->thread_info. m68k wants (and for good reasons) to embed its thread_info
into task_struct. So it will (in later patch) have task_thread_info() of its
own. For now we just add a macro for generic case and convert existing
instances of its body in core kernel to uses of new macro. Obviously safe -
all normal architectures get the same preprocessor output they used to get.

Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5546
The cpu_khz global is not initialized and remains 0 if you boot with
clock=pit, even if the processor does have a TSC. This may have bad
ramifications since the variable is used in various places scattered around
the kernel, though I didn't check them all to see if they can tolerate cpu_khz
= 0. You can observe the problem by doing "cat /proc/cpuinfo"; the cpu MHz
line says 0.000.
The fix is trivial; call init_cpu_khz() from init_pit(), just as it's called
from the timers/timer_foo.c:init_foo() for other values of foo.

The address based work estimate for unmapping (for lockbreak) is and always
was horribly inefficient for sparse mappings. The problem is most simply
explained with an example:
If we find a pgd is clear, we still have to call into unmap_page_range
PGDIR_SIZE / ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE times, each time checking the clear pgd, in
order to progress the working address to the next pgd.
The fundamental way to solve the problem is to keep track of the end
address we've processed and pass it back to the higher layers.
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
Modification to completely get away from address based work estimate
and instead use an abstract count, with a very small cost for empty
entries as opposed to present pages.
On 2.6.14-git2, ppc64, and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, mapping and unmapping 1TB
of virtual address space takes 1.69s; with the following patch applied,
this operation can be done 1000 times in less than 0.01s

The file_lock spinlock sits close to mostly read fields of 'struct
files_struct'
In SMP (and NUMA) environments, each time a thread wants to open or close
a file, it has to acquire the spinlock, thus invalidating the cache line
containing this spinlock on other CPUS. So other threads doing
read()/write()/... calls that use RCU to access the file table are going
to ask further memory (possibly NUMA) transactions to read again this
memory line.
Move the spinlock to another cache line, so that concurrent threads can
share the cache line containing 'count' and 'fdt' fields.
It's worth up to 9% on a microbenchmark using a 4-thread 2-package x86
machine. See
