[ARM] 3648/1: Update struct ucontext layout for coprocessor registers

Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz

In order for userspace to find saved coprocessor registers, move them from
struct rt_sigframe into struct ucontext.  Also allow space for glibc's
sigset_t, so that userspace and kernelspace can use the same ucontext
layout.  Define the magic numbers for iWMMXt in the header file for easier
reference.  Include the size of the coprocessor data in the magic numbers.

Also define magic numbers and layout for VFP, not yet saved.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: correctly set ioprio on both targets

Patch originally from Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@sw.ru>

If you set io-priority of process 1 using sys_ioprio_set system call by
another process 2 (like ionice do), then cfq_init_prio_data() function
sets priority of process 2 (current) on queue of process 1 and clears
the flag, that designates change of ioprio.  So the process  1 will work
like with priority of process 2.

I propose not to call cfq_init_prio_data() on io-priority change, but
only mark queue as queue with changed prority.  Every time when new
request comes cfq-scheduler checks for this flag and atomaticaly changes
priority of queue to new value.

[PATCH] Kill PF_SYNCWRITE flag

A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.

Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

[PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: don't return garbage if LOOP_SET_STATUS not called

While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop
device was returning total garbage.

It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the
LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl.  This
losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call.

The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL,
which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer.

This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in
loop_set_fd.

[PATCH] make kernel warn about incorrectly sized partitions

Sometimes partitions claim to be larger than the reported capacity of a
disk device.  This patch makes the kernel warn about those partitions.

We still permit these patitions to be used.  Quoting Andries Brouwer
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>:

 Case 1: The kernel is mistaken about the size of the disk.  (There are
 commands to clip a disk to a certain capacity, there are jumpers to tell a
 disk that it should report a certain capacity etc.  Usually this is because
 of BIOS bugs.  In bad cases the machine will crash in the BIOS and hence fail
 to boot if the disk reports full capacity.) In such cases actually accessing
 the blocks of the partition may work fine, or may work fine after running an
 unclip utility.  I wrote "setmax" some years ago precisely for this reason.

 Case 2: There was a messy partition table (maybe just a rounding error) but
 the actual filesystem on the partition is contained in the physical disk.
 Now using the filesystem goes without problem.

 Case 3: Both partition and filesystem extend beyond the end of the disk.  In
 forensic or debugging situations one often uses a copy of the start of a
 disk.  Now access beyond the end gives an expected I/O error.

[PATCH] Remove semi-softlockup from invalidate_mapping_pages

If invalidate_mapping_pages is called to invalidate a very large mapping
(e.g.  a very large block device) and if the only active page in that
device is near the end (or at least, at a very large index), such as, say,
the superblock of an md array, and if that page happens to be locked when
invalidate_mapping_pages is called, then

  pagevec_lookup will return this page and
  as it is locked, 'next' will be incremented and pagevec_lookup
  will be called again. and again. and again.
  while we count from 0 upto a very large number.

We should really always set 'next' to 'page->index+1' before going around
the loop again, not just if the page isn't locked.

 - removes a bunch of pointless casts

 - reduces the size of the compiled code by 36 bytes

I know I should probably have split this into bits, but since I only
thought of that *after* doing all the edits, splitting it up would have
been a royal pain. And since these are all pretty trivial changes I thought
I'd just submit the one huge patch and hope people could live with it (if
not, then just tell me and I'll split it).

The bug fix that's in there may be hard to spot, so I'll point it out. It's
the
   -       int val, valsave, mapped, ret;
   +       int val, valsave, ret;
   +       int mapped = 0;
bit.
Without that change we may use `mapped' uninitialized if, in cs_ioctl, the
first test of "if(state)" is false and the second "if(state)" test is true.

[PATCH] jbd: fix BUG in journal_commit_transaction()

Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on
jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and
buffer is not jbddirty).

!jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by
journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means
that it has been freed by this transaction.

Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed
(that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when
the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just
processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from
the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the
committing transaction).  So we have to also count with the case that the
buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set.

And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the
buffer and also mark it jbddirty.  Then we also add the freed buffer to the
checkpoint list of the committing trasaction.  But that should do no harm.

Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata
list.  It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit
phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in
committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction
already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

[PATCH] clean up default value of SCHED_SMT

Default values for boolean and tristate options can only be 'y', 'm' or 'n'.
This patch removes wrong default for SCHED_SMT.

[PATCH] ptrace: document the locking rules

After a lot of reading the code and thinking about how it behaves I have
managed to figure out what the current ptrace locking rules are.  The
current code is in much better that it appears at first glance.  The
troublesome code paths are actually the code paths that violate the current
rules.

ptrace uses simple exclusive access as it's locking.  You can only touch
task->ptrace if the task is stopped and you are the ptracer, or if the task
is running and are the task itself.

Very simple, very easy to maintain.  It just needs to be documented so
people know not to touch ptrace from elsewhere.

Currently we do have a few pieces of code that are in violation of this
rule.  Particularly the core dump code, and ptrace_attach.  But so far the
code looks fixable.

[PATCH] Poll cleanups/microoptimizations

The "count" and "pt" variables are declared and modified by do_poll(), as
well as accessed and written indirectly in the do_pollfd() subroutine.

This patch pulls all handling of these variables into the do_poll()
function, thereby eliminating the odd use of indirection in do_pollfd().
This is done by pulling the "struct pollfd" traversal loop from do_pollfd()
into its only caller do_poll().  As an added bonus, the patch saves a few
clock cycles, and also adds comments to make the code easier to follow.
