Make life easier for distro guys, by removing the need of including
at the userspace header.
Also, linux/compiler.h is not needed at userspace.

The zoran driver uses strncpy() in an unsafe way. This patch uses the proper
sizeof()-1 size parameter. Since all strncpy() targets are initialised with
memset() the trailing '\0' is already set. Where std->name was the target for
the strncpy() we overwrote 8 Bytes of the std structure with zeros.

videodev2.h
The videodev.h and videodev2.h describe the public API for V4L and V4L2.
It shouldn't have there any kernel-specific stuff. Those were moved to
v4l2-dev.h.
This patch removes some uneeded headers and include v4l2-common.h on all
V4L driver. This header includes device implementation of V4L2 API provided
on v4l2-dev.h as well as V4L2 internal ioctls that provides connections
between master driver and its i2c devices.

Videodev now is capable of better handling V4L2 api, by
processing V4L2 ioctls and using callbacks to the driver.
The drivers should be migrated to the newer way and the older
one will be obsoleted soon.

linux/videodev2.h uses types such as __u8 but it fails to include
<linux/types.h>. Within the kernel, that's not a problem because
<linux/time.h> already includes <linux/types.h>. However, there are
user apps that try to include videodev2.h (e.g., ekiga) and at least
on ia64, it causes compilation failures since <linux/types.h> doesn't
get included for any other reason, leaving __u8 etc. undefined. The
attached patch fixes the problem for me.

The ioctl DMX_GET_EVENT has never been implemented.
I guess no software is using it because of its lack of implementation.
Future software won't use it, too, because this API doesn't make much
sense the way it is: Frontend events have their own different API.
Scrambling events can't be generated in a useful way by the hardware I
know of.

Neil Brown observed that the kmalloc() in nfs_get_user_pages() is more
likely to fail if the I/O is large enough to require the allocation of more
than a single page to keep track of all the pinned pages in the user's
buffer.
Instead of tracking one large page array per dreq/iocb, track pages per
nfs_read/write_data, just like the cached I/O path does. An array for
pages is already allocated for us by nfs_readdata_alloc() (and the write
and commit equivalents).
This is also required for adding support for vectored I/O to the NFS direct
I/O path.
The original reason to pin the user buffer and allocate all the NFS data
structures before trying to schedule I/O was to ensure all needed resources
are allocated on the client before starting to send requests. This reduces
the chance that resource exhaustion on the client will cause a short read
or write.
On the other hand, for an application making very large application I/O
requests, this means that it will be nearly impossible for the application
to make forward progress on a resource-limited client.
Thus, moving the buffer pinning functionality into the I/O scheduling
loops should be good for scalability. The next patch will do the same for
NFS data structure allocation.

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.

Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists. In the first
list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO. In the second
list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait
for the IO to complete. This should simplify a handling of checkpoint
lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

free blocks counter
The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support
more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks
total in the filesystem.
- Generic perpcu counters data type changes. The size of the global counter
and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32. The global
counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from
long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases.
- Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new
percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow
users to pass the initial value of the global counter.

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.

Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation.
This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state
in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks
internally. FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some
network filesystems would need this also.
Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by
close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking
request in this case.

On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work.
1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but
before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the
target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq].
Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls
move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity.
However, every function pointed by
hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask)
always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask. Next time when recalling
do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with
irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already
becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance.
2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same
issue.

This patch adds new security hook, task_movememory, to be called when memory
owened by a task is to be moved (e.g. when migrating pages to a this hook is
identical to the setscheduler implementation, but a separate hook introduced
to allow this check to be specialized in the future if necessary.
Since the last posting, the hook has been renamed following feedback from
Christoph Lameter.

Implement an LSM hook for setting a task's IO priority, similar to the hook
for setting a tasks's nice value.
A previous version of this LSM hook was included in an older version of
multiadm by Jan Engelhardt, although I don't recall it being submitted
upstream.
Also included is the corresponding SELinux hook, which re-uses the setsched
permission in the proccess class.

The definition of the third parameter is a pointer to an array of virtual
addresses which give us some trouble. The existing code calculated the
wrong address in the array since I used void to avoid having to specify a
type.
I now use the correct type "compat_uptr_t __user *" in the definition of
the function in kernel/compat.c.
However, I used __u32 in syscalls.h. Would have to include compat.h there
in order to provide the same definition which would generate an ugly
include situation.
On both ia64 and x86_64 compat_uptr_t is u32. So this works although
parameter declarations differ.

sys_move_pages() support for 32bit (i386 plus x86_64 compat layer)
Add support for move_pages() on i386 and also add the compat functions
necessary to run 32 bit binaries on x86_64.
Add compat_sys_move_pages to the x86_64 32bit binary layer. Note that it is
not up to date so I added the missing pieces. Not sure if this is done the
right way.

move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can
be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired
node. move_pages() returns status information for each page.
long move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move,
addresses_of_pages[],
nodes[] or NULL,
status[],
flags);
The addresses of pages is an array of void * pointing to the
pages to be moved.
The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved
to. If a NULL is passed instead of an array then no pages are moved but
the status array is updated. The status request may be used to determine
the page state before issuing another move_pages() to move pages.
The status array will contain the state of all individual page migration
attempts when the function terminates. The status array is only valid if
move_pages() completed successfullly.
Possible page states in status[]:
0..MAX_NUMNODES The page is now on the indicated node.
-ENOENT Page is not present
-EACCES Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only
be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.
-EPERM The page has been mlocked by a process/driver and
cannot be moved.
-EBUSY Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later.
-EFAULT Invalid address (no VMA or zero page).
-ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory on target node.
-EIO Unable to write back page. The page must be written
back in order to move it since the page is dirty and the
filesystem does not provide a migration function that
would allow the moving of dirty pages.
-EINVAL A dirty page cannot be moved. The filesystem does not provide
a migration function and has no ability to write back pages.
The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move:
MPOL_MF_MOVE Move pages that are only mapped by the process.
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes.
Requires sufficient capabilities.
Possible return codes from move_pages()
-ENOENT No pages found that would require moving. All pages
are either already on the target node, not present, had an
invalid address or could not be moved because they were
mapped by multiple processes.
-EINVAL Flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt
to migrate pages in a kernel thread.
-EPERM MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges.
or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user.
-EACCES One of the target nodes is not allowed by the current cpuset.
-ENODEV One of the target nodes is not online.
-ESRCH Process does not exist.
-E2BIG Too many pages to move.
-ENOMEM Not enough memory to allocate control array.
-EFAULT Parameters could not be accessed.
A test program for move_pages() may be found with the patches
on ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/pmig/patches-2.6.17-rc4-mm3
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
Detailed results for sys_move_pages()
Pass a pointer to an integer to get_new_page() that may be used to
indicate where the completion status of a migration operation should be
placed. This allows sys_move_pags() to report back exactly what happened to
each page.
Wish there would be a better way to do this. Looks a bit hacky.

Instead of passing a list of new pages, pass a function to allocate a new
page. This allows the correct placement of MPOL_INTERLEAVE pages during page
migration. It also further simplifies the callers of migrate pages.
migrate_pages() becomes similar to migrate_pages_to() so drop
migrate_pages_to(). The batching of new page allocations becomes unnecessary.

Do not leave pages on the lists passed to migrate_pages(). Seems that we will
not need any postprocessing of pages. This will simplify the handling of
pages by the callers of migrate_pages().
