With this patch TX queue descriptors are not chained per default any more.
The pointer to next descriptor is set only when next descriptor is prepaired
for transfer. Also the mechanism of checking wether Spider is ready has been
changed: it checks not for CARDOWNED flag in status of previous descriptor
but for a TXDMAENABLED flag in Spider's register.

Take into account the fact that ICH8 changed the register layout of
the MAP and PCS register bits.
Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Prior to this patch, the driver would do this for each port:
read 8-bit PCS
write 8-bit PCS
read 8-bit PCS
write 8-bit PCS
In the field, flaky behavior has been observed related to this register.
In particular, these overzealous register writes can cause misdetection
problems.
Update to do the following once (not once per port) at boot:
read 16-bit PCS
if needs changing,
write 16-bit PCS
And thereafter, we only perform a 'read 16-bit PCS' per port.
This should eliminate all PCS writes in many cases, and be more friendly
in the cases where we do need to enable ports.

This just turns off chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files, since there is no
good reason to allow it, and had we disallowed it originally, the nasty
/proc race exploit wouldn't have been possible.
The other patches already fixed the problem chmod() could cause, so this
is really just some final mop-up..
This particular version is based off a patch by Eugene and Marcel which
had much better naming than my original equivalent one.

set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the
code more and has no benefit. Since it is not currently used in the
kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it.
All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); }
while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead. But this is
still moot since it is not used anyway.
Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled

In send_cpu_listeners(), which is called on the exit path, a down_write()
was protecting operations like skb_clone() and genlmsg_unicast() that do
GFP_KERNEL allocations. If the oom-killer decides to kill tasks to satisfy
the allocations,the exit of those tasks could block on the same semphore.
The down_write() was only needed to allow removal of invalid listeners from
the listener list. The patch converts the down_write to a down_read and
defers the removal to a separate critical region. This ensures that even
if the oom-killer is called, no other task's exit is blocked as it can
still acquire another down_read.
Thanks to Andrew Morton & Herbert Xu for pointing out the oom related
pitfalls, and to Chandra Seetharaman for suggesting this fix instead of
using something more complex like RCU.

through cpumasks
On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks
exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can
overflow a userspace listener's buffers.
One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a
limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners
and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data
overload more gracefully.
In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus
by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task
exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested
in that cpu.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and
general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

Don't send taskstats (per-pid or per-tgid) on thread exit when no one is
listening for such data.
Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and
calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether
a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for
that and avoid the multicast).
As a result of this patch, the check for the no-listener case is performed
early, avoiding the redundant allocation and filling up of the taskstats
structures.

Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once
with each member thread exit.
Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data
of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty.
The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all
*remaining* threads of the thread group.
This patch modifies this sending in two ways:
- the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group
exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving
per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats
interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats
- the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being
the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the
true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of
the thread group.
The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting
subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of
taskstats to not be sent at all.
The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours
on an SMP.

Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC
family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their
lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple
accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay
accounting.
This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data
that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task.
Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an
additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting patches, now delays are only
collected for the actual I/O waits rather than try and cover the delays seen
in I/O submission paths.
Account separately for block I/O delays incurred as a result of swapin page
faults whose frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit. Hence
swapin delays can act as feedback for rss limit changes independent of I/O
priority changes.

After some discussion on the actual meaning of the filesystem class
security check in try context mount it was determined that the checks for
the context= mount options were not correct if fscontext mount option had
already been used.
When labeling the superblock we should be checking relabel_from and
relabel_to. But if the superblock has already been labeled (with
fscontext) then context= is actually labeling the inodes, and so we should
be checking relabel_from and associate. This patch fixes which checks are
called depending on the mount options.
