eab7e2e647 [PATCH] knfsd: Break the hard linkage from svc_expkey to svc_export
Current svc_expkey holds a pointer to the svc_export structure, so updates to
that structure have to be in-place, which is a wart on the whole cache
infrastruct.  So we break that linkage and just do a second lookup.

If this became a performance issue, it would be possible to put a direct link
back in which was only used conditionally.  i.e.  when an object is replaced
in the cache, we set a flag in the old object.  When dereferencing the link
from svc_expkey, if the flag is set, we drop the reference and do a fresh
lookup.

efc36aa560 [PATCH] knfsd: Change the store of auth_domains to not be a 'cache'
The 'auth_domain's are simply handles on internal data structures.  They do
not cache information from user-space, and forcing them into the mold of a
'cache' misrepresents their true nature and causes confusion.

051d381259 [PATCH] autofs4: nameidata needs to be up to date for follow_link
In order to be able to trigger a mount using the follow_link inode method the
nameidata struct that is passed in needs to have the vfsmount of the autofs
trigger not its parent.

During a path walk if an autofs trigger is mounted on a dentry, when the
follow_link method is called, the nameidata struct contains the vfsmount and
mountpoint dentry of the parent mount while the dentry that is passed in is
the root of the autofs trigger mount.  I believe it is impossible to get the
vfsmount of the trigger mount, within the follow_link method, when only the
parent vfsmount and the root dentry of the trigger mount are known.

This patch updates the nameidata struct on entry to __do_follow_link if it
detects that it is out of date.  It moves the path_to_nameidata to above
__do_follow_link to facilitate calling it from there.  The dput_path is moved
as well as that seemed sensible.  No changes are made to these two functions.

e0a7aae940 [PATCH] autofs4: expire mounts that hold no (extra) references only
Alter the expire semantics that define how "busyness" is determined.
Currently a last_used counter is updated on every revalidate from processes
other than the mount owner process group.

This patch changes that so that an expire candidate is busy only if it has a
reference count greater than the expected minimum, such as when there is an
open file or working directory in use.

This method is the only way that busyness can be established for direct mounts
within the new implementation.  For consistency the expire semantic is made
the same for all mounts.

A side effect of the patch is that mounts which remain mounted unessessarily
in the presence of some GUI programs that scan the filesystem should now
expire.

1aff3c8b05 [PATCH] autofs4: fix false negative return from expire
Fix the case where an expire returns busy on a tree mount when it is in fact
not busy.  This case was overlooked when the patch to prevent the expiring
away of "scaffolding" directories for tree mounts was applied.

The problem arises when a tree of mounts is a member of a map with other keys.
 The current logic will not expire the tree if any other mount in the map is
busy.  The solution is to maintain a "minimum" use count for each autofs
dentry and compare this to the actual dentry usage count during expire.

2d753e62b8 [PATCH] autofs4: can't mount due to mount point dir not empty
Addresse a problem where stale dentrys stop mounts from happening.

When a mount point directory is pre-created and a non-existent entry within it
is requested a dentry ends up being created within the mount point directory
which stops future mounts.  The problem is solved by ignoring negative,
unhashed dentrys in the mount point d_subdirs list.

Additionally the apparent cacheing of -ENOENT returns from requests is
removed.  The test on d_time is a tautology and d_time is not initialised and
has an unexpected value.  In short it doesn't do what it's meant to.

The cacheing of failed requests to the daemon is important and will be
followed up later.

98c18238f1 [PATCH] uml: fix segfault on signal delivery
This fixes a process segfault where a signal was being delivered such that a
new stack page needed to be allocated to hold the signal frame.  This was
tripping some logic in the page fault handler which wouldn't allocate the page
if the faulting address was more that 32 bytes lower than the current stack
pointer.  Since a signal frame is greater than 32 bytes, this exercised that
case.

It's fixed by updating the SP in the pt_regs before starting to copy the
signal frame.  Since those are the registers that will be copied on to the
stack, we have to be careful to put the original SP, not the new one which
points to the signal frame, on the stack.

81efcd3300 [PATCH] uml: more carefully test whether we are in a system call
For security reasons, UML in is_syscall() needs to have access to code in
vsyscall-page.  The current implementation grants this access by explicitly
allowing access to vsyscall in access_ok_skas().  With this change,
copy_from_user() may be used to read the code.  Ptrace access to vsyscall-page
for debugging already was implemented in get_user_pages() by mainline.  In
i386, copy_from_user can't access vsyscall-page, but returns EFAULT.

To make UML behave as i386 does, I changed is_syscall to use
access_process_vm(current) to read the code from vsyscall-page.  This doesn't
hurt security, but simplifies the code and prepares implementation of
stub-vmas.

dbffa47161 [PATCH] PM-Timer: don't use workaround if chipset is not buggy
Current timer_pm.c reads I/O port triple times, in order to avoid the bug
of chipset.  But I/O port is slow.

2.6.16 (pmtmr)
Simple gettimeofday: 3.6532 microseconds

2.6.16+patch (pmtmr)
Simple gettimeofday: 1.4582 microseconds

[if chip is buggy, probably it will be 7us or more in 4.2% of probability.]

This patch adds blacklist of buggy chip, and if chip is not buggy, this
uses fast normal version instead of slow workaround version.

If chip is buggy, warnings "pmtmr is slow".  But sounds like there is gray
zone.  I found the PIIX4 errata, but I couldn't find the ICH4 errata.  But
some motherboard seems to have problem.

So, if we found a ICH4, generate warnings, and use a workaround version.
If user's ICH4 is good, the user can specify the "pmtmr_good" boot
parameter to use fast version.

f9b4192923 [PATCH] bitops: hweight() speedup
<linux@horizon.com> wrote:

This is an extremely well-known technique.  You can see a similar version that
uses a multiply for the last few steps at
http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#CountBitsSetParallel whch
refers to "Software Optimization Guide for AMD Athlon 64 and Opteron
Processors"
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/25112.PDF

It's section 8.6, "Efficient Implementation of Population-Count Function in
32-bit Mode", pages 179-180.

It uses the name that I am more familiar with, "popcount" (population count),
although "Hamming weight" also makes sense.

Anyway, the proof of correctness proceeds as follows:

	b = a - ((a >> 1) & 0x55555555);
	c = (b & 0x33333333) + ((b >> 2) & 0x33333333);
	d = (c + (c >> 4)) & 0x0f0f0f0f;
#if SLOW_MULTIPLY
	e = d + (d >> 8)
	f = e + (e >> 16);
	return f & 63;
#else
	/* Useful if multiply takes at most 4 cycles */
	return (d * 0x01010101) >> 24;
#endif

The input value a can be thought of as 32 1-bit fields each holding their own
hamming weight.  Now look at it as 16 2-bit fields.  Each 2-bit field a1..a0
has the value 2*a1 + a0.  This can be converted into the hamming weight of the
2-bit field a1+a0 by subtracting a1.

That's what the (a >> 1) & mask subtraction does.  Since there can be no
borrows, you can just do it all at once.

Enumerating the 4 possible cases:

0b00 = 0  ->  0 - 0 = 0
0b01 = 1  ->  1 - 0 = 1
0b10 = 2  ->  2 - 1 = 1
0b11 = 3  ->  3 - 1 = 2

The next step consists of breaking up b (made of 16 2-bir fields) into
even and odd halves and adding them into 4-bit fields.  Since the largest
possible sum is 2+2 = 4, which will not fit into a 4-bit field, the 2-bit
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                          "which will not fit into a 2-bit field"

fields have to be masked before they are added.

After this point, the masking can be delayed.  Each 4-bit field holds a
population count from 0..4, taking at most 3 bits.  These numbers can be added
without overflowing a 4-bit field, so we can compute c + (c >> 4), and only
then mask off the unwanted bits.

This produces d, a number of 4 8-bit fields, each in the range 0..8.  From
this point, we can shift and add d multiple times without overflowing an 8-bit
field, and only do a final mask at the end.

The number to mask with has to be at least 63 (so that 32 on't be truncated),
but can also be 128 or 255.  The x86 has a special encoding for signed
immediate byte values -128..127, so the value of 255 is slower.  On other
processors, a special "sign extend byte" instruction might be faster.

On a processor with fast integer multiplies (Athlon but not P4), you can
reduce the final few serially dependent instructions to a single integer
multiply.  Consider d to be 3 8-bit values d3, d2, d1 and d0, each in the
range 0..8.  The multiply forms the partial products:

	           d3 d2 d1 d0
	        d3 d2 d1 d0
	     d3 d2 d1 d0
	+ d3 d2 d1 d0
	----------------------
	           e3 e2 e1 e0

Where e3 = d3 + d2 + d1 + d0.   e2, e1 and e0 obviously cannot generate
any carries.

37d54111c1 [PATCH] bitops: hweight() related cleanup
By defining generic hweight*() routines

- hweight64() will be defined on all architectures
- hweight_long() will use architecture optimized hweight32() or hweight64()

I found two possible cleanups by these reasons.

Now the only user who are using generic_ffs() is ntfs filesystem.  This patch
isolates generic_ffs() as ntfs_ffs() for ntfs.
