[PATCH] unshare system call -v5: system call handler function

Please note that because of a problem in rmdir associated with bind mounts and

succeed.  I have reported the problem to Ram Pai and Al Viro with a small

[PATCH] __cmpxchg() must really always be inlined on alpha

With the latest 2.6.15 kernel builds for alpha on Debian, we ran into a
problem with undefined references to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer() in
a couple of kernel modules (xfs.ko and drm.ko; see
http://bugs.debian.org/347556).

It looks like people have been trying to out-clever each other wrt the
definition of "inline" on this architecture :), with the result that
__cmpxchg(), which must be inlined so the compiler can see its argument is
const, is not guaranteed to be inlined.  Indeed, it was not being inlined
when building with -Os.

The attached patch fixes the issue by adding an
__attribute__((always_inline)) explicitly to the definition of __cmpxchg()
instead of relying on redefines of "inline" elsewhere to make this happen.

[PATCH] Fix bad apic fix on i386

Fix wrong '!' in bad apic fix

I forgot to remove the ! when moving the code from x86-64 to i386 x86-64
tested !disable_apic, but of course for cpu_has_apic it shouldn't be
negated.

Credit goes to Jan Beulich for spotting it with eagle eyes.

I've noticed that PCI clock was incorrectly reported as 66 MHz while being
mere 33 MHz on RBTX4937 board -- this was due to the different encoding of
the PCI divisor field in CCFG register between TX4927 and TX4937 chips...

Also, RBTX49x7 was printed out as a CPU name (e.g., "CPU is RBTX4937");
and some debug printk() were duplicating each other...

[MIPS] TX49 MFC0 bug workaround

If mfc0 $12 follows store and the mfc0 is last instruction of a
page and fetching the next instruction causes TLB miss, the result
of the mfc0 might wrongly contain EXL bit.

ERT-TX49H2-027, ERT-TX49H3-012, ERT-TX49HL3-006, ERT-TX49H4-008

Workaround: mask EXL bit of the result or place a nop before mfc0.  It
doesn't harm to always clear those bits, so we change the code to do so.
