The initial patches to support this through sysfs export were broken
and have been if 0'ed out in any release. So lets just kill the code
and reclaim some space in struct request_queue, if anyone would later
like to fixup the sysfs bits, the git history can easily restore
the removed bits.

This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity
infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs. Each bip slab
has an embedded bio_vec array at the end. This cuts down on memory
allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec
version. Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool. The pool is
contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward
progress.

Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.
Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these
fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.
This is 2.6.31 material. It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
register_framebuffer()). It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that
controller. Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction.
Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver.
Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag. Its coding
relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the
underlying controller driver won't perform them.
(The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the
temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in
which case the existing code applies. Similarly, any spi_master
implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:
* SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
full duplex.
This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
transitions with the SPI master.
* SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
each of the 3-wire flavors).
Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC
converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
many host controllers support it today.
The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).

With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used
vmas are added.
When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of
code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is
written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows.
==
... = mmap(); (munmap, mprotect, etc...)
if (failed)
abort();
==
This can happen in mmap/munmap/mprotect/etc...which calls split_vma().
I think 65536 is not safe as _default_ and reduce it to 65530 is good
for avoiding unexpected corrupted core.
Anyway, max_map_count can be enlarged by sysctl if a user is brave..

alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via
generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the
compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
in modules are unused.
This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
__used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process,
PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.
This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This
also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
the file pointer instance.
Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away. Also,
now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
file*.
This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
development.

Add notification messages that allow the filesystem to invalidate VFS
caches.
Two notifications are added:
1) inode invalidation
- invalidate cached attributes
- invalidate a range of pages in the page cache (this is optional)
2) dentry invalidation
- try to invalidate a subtree in the dentry cache
Care must be taken while accessing the 'struct super_block' for the
mount, as it can go away while an invalidation is in progress. To
prevent this, introduce a rw-semaphore, that is taken for read during
the invalidation and taken for write in the ->kill_sb callback.

This patch lets filesystems handle masking the file mode on creation.
This is needed if filesystem is using ACLs.
- The CREATE, MKDIR and MKNOD requests are extended with a "umask"
parameter.
- A new FUSE_DONT_MASK flag is added to the INIT request/reply. With
this the filesystem may request that the create mode is not masked.

commit 2f0d0fd2a605666d38e290c5c0d2907484352dc4 ("ide-acpi: cleanup
do_drive_get_GTF()") didn't account for the lack of hwif->acpidata
check in generic_ide_suspend() [ indirect user of do_drive_get_GTF()
through ide_acpi_exec_tfs() ] resulting in broken resume when ACPI
support is enabled but ACPI data is unavailable.
Fix it by adding ide_port_acpi() helper for checking if port needs
ACPI handling and cleaning generic_ide_{suspend,resume}() to use it
instead of hiding hwif->acpidata and ide_noacpi checks in IDE ACPI
helpers (this should help in preventing similar bugs in the future).
While at it:
- kill superfluous debugging printks in ide_acpi_{get,push}_timing()

The new fsnotify infrastructure (starting at 90586523) causes an oops in
spufs, where we populate a directory with files before instantiating the
directory itself. The new changes seem to have introduced an assumption
that a dentry's parent will be positive when instantiating.
This change makes it once again possible to d_instantiate a dentry
with a negative parent, and brings __fsnotify_d_instantiate() into
line with inotify_d_instantiate(), which already has this NULL check.

This patch introduces a new sysctl:
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
which defaults to 0 (off).
When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.
The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.
This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.

The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.
Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.
This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit
and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

With the introduction of PERF_EVENT_READ we have the
possibility to provide accurate counter values for
individual tasks in a task hierarchy.
However, due to the lazy context switching used for similar
counter contexts our current per task counts are way off.
In order to maintain some of the lazy switch benefits we
don't disable it out-right, but simply iterate the active
counters and flip the values between the contexts.
This only reads the counters but does not need to reprogram
the full PMU.

Provide a read() like event which can be used to log the
counter value at specific sites such as child->parent
folding on exit.
In order to be useful, we log the counter parent ID, not the
actual counter ID, since userspace can only relate parent
IDs to perf_counter_attr constructs.

Since there are two distinct sections to the control page,
move them apart so that possible extentions don't overlap.

Currently the 4th parameter of get_user_pages() is called len, but its
in pages, not bytes. Rename the thing to nr_pages to avoid future
confusion.
