The intent patches broke behaviour w.r.t. following symlinks when doing an open() with file creation. The problem occurs in open_namei() because the LOOKUP_PARENT flag is no longer set when we do the call to follow_link().

This is the updated versions of the patch Ingo sent some time ago to implement a new tgkill() syscall which specifies the target thread without any possibility of ambiguity or thread ID wrap races, by passing in both the thread group _and_ the thread ID as the arguments. This is really needed since many/most people still run with limited PID ranges (maybe due to legacy apps breaking) and the PID reuse can cause problems.

Due to a typo in powernow-k7.c, the value which correspond to the CPU core multiplicator and the VID value are swapped when we go down to up in frequency step.

This adds a declaration that the macserial driver needs in order to compile correctly, and removes some old SERIAL_DO_RESTART junk which isn't used (SERIAL_DO_RESTART is never defined in this driver) and which I think is incorrect anyway, since it looks to me like it would potentially return an ERESTARTSYS error without a signal pending.

switch_mm and enter_lazy_tlb take a CPU arg, which is always smp_processor_id(). This is misleading, and pointless if they use per-cpu variables or other optimizations. gcc will eliminate redundant smp_processor_id() (in inline functions) anyway. This removes that arg from all the architectures.

kstat_this_cpu() is defined in terms of per_cpu instead of __get_cpu_var. This patch changes that, and uses it everywhere appropriate. The sched.c change puts it in a local variable, which helps gcc generate better code.

No longer need the 68360 specific trap init call. The generic interrupt/trap code is now setup to do this itself.

A couple of minor fixes for the 68328 interrupt setup code. - don't define the .romvec section for DragonEngine build - print newline at end of spurious interrupt count in show_interrupts()

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Most distributions turn on process accounting - but even the common 'accounting is off' case is horrible SMP-scalability-wise: it accesses a global spinlock during every sys_exit() call, which bounces like mad on SMP (and NUMA) systems. (i also got rid of the unused return code.)

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> This patch removes the dependency on i_sem in the getxattr and listxattr iops of ext2 and ext3. In addition, the global ext[23]_xattr semaphores go away. Instead of i_sem and the global semaphore, mutual exclusion is now ensured by per-inode xattr semaphores, and by locking the buffers before modifying them. The detailed locking strategy is described in comments in fs/ext[23]/xattr.c. Due to this change it is no longer necessary to take i_sem in ext[23]_permission() for retrieving acls, so the ext[23]_permission_locked() functions go away. Additionally, the patch fixes a race condition in ext[23]_permission: Accessing inode->i_acl was protected by the BKL in 2.4; in 2.5 there no longer is such protection. Instead, inode->i_acl (and inode->i_default_acl) are now accessed under inode->i_lock. (This could be replaced by RCU in the future.) In the ext3 extended attribute code, an new uglines results from locking at the buffer head level: The buffer lock must be held between testing if an xattr block can be modified and the actual modification to prevent races from happening. Before a block can be modified, ext3_journal_get_write_access() must be called. But this requies an unlocked buffer, so I call ext3_journal_get_write_access() before locking the buffer. If it turns out that the buffer cannot be modified, journal_release_buffer() is called. Calling ext3_journal_get_write_access after the test but while the buffer is still locked would be much better.

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Andrew Morton found that there is lock contention between extended attribute operations (like reading ACLs, which `ls -l' needs to do) and other operations on the same files. This is due to the fact that all extended attribute syscalls take inode->i_sem before calling into the filesystem code. To fix this problem, this patch no longer takes inode->i_sem in the getxattr and listxattr syscalls, and moves the lock taking code into the file systems. (Another patch improves the locking strategy in ext2 and ext3.)

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> It is common to update extended attributes without changing the value's length. This patch optimizes this case. In addition to that, the current code tries to recognize early when extended attribute blocks become empty. This optimization is not of significant value, so this patch removes it, and moves the empty block test further down.

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> The inode->i_bdev field is not the same as inode->i_sb->s_bdev or bh->b_bdev. We must compare inode->i_sb->s_bdev with bh->b_bdev, or else equal extended attribute block will not be found.

From: From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> * Various minor cleanups and simplifications in the extended attributes and acl code. * Use a smarter shortcut rule in ext[23]_permission(): If the mask contains permissions that are not also contained in the group file mode permission bits, those permissions can never be granted by an acl. (The previous shortcut rule was more coarse.)

From: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@csd.uu.se> This patch fixes two p->thread_info->cpu occurrences in kernel/sched.c to use the task_cpu(p) macro instead, which is optimised on UP. Although one of the occurrences is under #ifdef CONFIG_SMP, it's bad style to use the raw non-optimisable form in non-arch code.

This patch adds shared library support to the MMU application loader, binfmt_flat. This is not new, it is a forward port from the same support in 2.4.x kernels with MMUless support, and has been running for well over a year now. The code support is conditionally compiled on CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_SHARED. This change also abstracts a bit more architecture dependent code into the separate flat.h includes. Basically relocations within an application also carry a tag to identify what they refer too (this code or which shared library). This is patched as before at load/run-time with an appropriate address.

Unify access_ok for all m68knommu targets. All targets use the common linker script and have common end symbols. So now we can just use a simple check.
