E.D.D. has no user in-tree and mostly useless. Kill it. For possible
out-of-tree users, add a nice warning message and error handling if
LLDD doesn't report any useable reset mechanism (and thus tries to use
E.D.D.).

Make the softlockup detector purely timer-interrupt driven, removing
softirq-context (timer) dependencies. This means that if the softlockup
watchdog triggers, it has truly observed a longer than 10 seconds
scheduling delay of a SCHED_FIFO prio 99 task.
(the patch also turns off the softlockup detector during the initial bootup
phase and does small style fixes)

In filesystems with the meta block group flag on, ext3_bg_num_gdb() fails
to report the correct number of blocks used to store the group descriptor
backups in a given group. It happens because meta_bg follows a different
logic from the original ext3 backup placement in groups multiples of 3, 5
and 7.

At present the kernel doesn't honour an attempt to set RLIMIT_CPU to zero
seconds. But the spec says it should, and that's what 2.4.x does.
Fixing this for real would involve some complexity (such as adding a new
it-has-been-set flag to the task_struct, and testing that everwhere, instead
of overloading the value of it_prof_expires).
Given that a 2.4 kernel won't actually send the signal until one second has
expired anyway, let's just handle this case by treating the caller's
zero-seconds as one second.

- Whitespace cleanups
- Make that expression comprehensible.
There's a potential logic change here: we do the "is it_prof_expires equal to
zero" test after converting it to seconds, rather than doing the comparison
between raw cputime_t's.
But given that it's in units of seconds anyway, that shouldn't change
anything.

It appears that console_setup() code only gets compiled into the kernel if
CONFIG_PRINTK is enabled. One detrimental side-effect of this is that
serial8250_console_setup() never gets invoked when CONFIG_PRINTK is not
set, resulting in baud rate not being read/parsed from command line (i.e.
console=ttyS0,115200n8 is ignored, at least the baud rate part...)
Attached patch moves console_setup() code from inside
#ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK
to outside (in printk.c), removing dependence on said config. option.

msync() does a strange thing. Essentially:
vma = find_vma();
for ( ; ; ) {
if (!vma)
return -ENOMEM;
...
vma = vma->vm_next;
}
so an msync() request which starts within or before a valid VMA and which ends
within or beyond the final VMA will incorrectly return -ENOMEM.
Fix.

It seems sensible to perform dirty page throttling in msync: as the application
dirties pages we can kick off pdflush early, or even force the msync() caller
to perform writeout, or even throttle the msync() caller.
The main effect of this is to start disk writeback earlier if we've just
discovered that a large amount of pagecache has been dirtied. (Otherwise it
wouldn't happen for up to five seconds, next time pdflush wakes up).
It also will cause the page-dirtying process to get panalised for dirtying
those pages rather than whacking someone else with the problem.
We should do this for munmap() and possibly even exit(), too.
We drop the mmap_sem while performing the dirty page balancing. It doesn't
seem right to hold mmap_sem for that long.
Note that this patch only affects MS_ASYNC. MS_SYNC will be syncing all the
dirty pages anyway.
We note that msync(MS_SYNC) does a full-file-sync inside mmap_sem, and always
has. We can fix that up...
The patch also tightens up the mmap_sem coverage in sys_msync(): no point in
taking it while we perform the incoming arg checking.

SUSv3 says the shmdt() function shall fail with EINVAL if the value of
shmaddr is not the data segment start address of a shared memory segment:
our sys_shmdt needs to reject a shmaddr which is not page-aligned.
Does it have the potential to break existing apps?
Hugh says
"sys_shmdt() just does the wrong (unexpected) thing with a misaligned
address: it'll fail on what you might expect it to succeed on, and only
succeed on what it should definitely fail on.
"That is, I think it behaves as if shmaddr gets rounded up, when the only
understandable behaviour would be if it rounded it down.
"Which does mean you'd have to be devious to see anything but EINVAL from
a misaligned shmaddr there, so it's not terribly important."

Add two new linux-specific fadvise extensions():
LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: start async writeout of any dirty pages between file
offsets `offset' and `offset+len'. Any pages which are currently under
writeout are skipped, whether or not they are dirty.
LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: wait upon writeout of any dirty pages between file
offsets `offset' and `offset+len'.
By combining these two operations the application may do several things:
LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push some or all of the dirty pages at the disk.
LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE: push all of the currently dirty
pages at the disk.
LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT, LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE, LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT: push all
of the currently dirty pages at the disk, wait until they have been written.
It should be noted that none of these operations write out the file's
metadata. So unless the application is strictly performing overwrites of
already-instantiated disk blocks, there are no guarantees here that the data
will be available after a crash.
To complete this suite of operations I guess we should have a "sync file
metadata only" operation. This gives applications access to all the building
blocks needed for all sorts of sync operations. But sync-metadata doesn't fit
well with the fadvise() interface. Probably it should be a new syscall:
sys_fmetadatasync().
The patch also diddles with the meaning of `endbyte' in sys_fadvise64_64().
It is made to represent that last affected byte in the file (ie: it is
inclusive). Generally, all these byterange and pagerange functions are
inclusive so we can easily represent EOF with -1.
As Ulrich notes, these two functions are somewhat abusive of the fadvise()
concept, which appears to be "set the future policy for this fd".
But these commands are a perfect fit with the fadvise() impementation, and
several of the existing fadvise() commands are synchronous and don't affect
future policy either. I think we can live with the slight incongruity.
