This removes EXPORT_SYMBOL(add_timer) since add_timer() became inline
recently.

We know we have the right version because we were compiled in the
same kernel tree..

This change seems to have been missed for some time.  Remove
__dump_stack(), and convert show_trace_task() to show_stack().

ARM had CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO for ages.  Unfortunately, the new
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO was rather blindly applied across all architectures.
This removes the duplication from the ARM architecture.

This updates the blkmtd driver with the latest which has been in the MTD
CVS for quite a while.  It is a rewrite from the 2.4 version to work
with the new block layer changes.

When the *config targets were moved to scripts/kconfig/Makefile
the graphical configurator support broke.

The following patch is a minimal fix, required to restore support
of 'make xconfig' and 'make gconfig'.

A small bug in local.h apparently got copied a few times.
I noticed this because I copied the same bug to s390.
This patch should fix the occurrences in BK, but there
are others that are not merged yet, e.g. ppc64 in -mm3.

This is a rewrite of the awe_wave detection code that will allow this
driver to be compiled.  It moves detection functions to a common
location at the end of the file and makes the code driver-model
compatible.  Also it fixes a bug in which the driver could possibly
write to incorrect ports when using isapnp cards.

Unfortunantly I do not currently have an AWE32 to test these changes so
I could only check for compilation and driver registration.

There was a quite nasty long standing bug in the x86-64 port.  The
interrupt gates had a DPL of 3, allowing user space to trigger any
interrupt.  I have not found a way to exploit it this to crash the
kernel, but it definitely shouldn't happen.  It could e.g.  cause
problems with drivers that do not handle shared interrupt properly.

This also broke some programs who assumed that int <random number>
causes a signal.

Various compile fixes for x86-64 in the current BKCVS tree.

- Use new information from acpi_pci_link_get_irq: handle 
  edge and level triggered interrupts properly
- Fixes for pci_dev->pretty_name 

Only changes x86-64 specific code.

Linux historically has had. Only x86-64 uses anything else, so
make the special case be _there_.

- Don't leave resource name uninitialized if CONFIG_EISA_NAME is not set.
- Print root device bus_id (so we know which bridge is probed).
- From Zwane Mwaikambo : Add a release method to virtual root, so it
  stays quiet if probing fails (because some pci-eisa bridge have been
  found before).

  For RPC over UDP, after receiving a packet kick another thread as soon
as possible.  This helps NFS performance.

This is important on multi-homes hosts.

Just make sure that once SK_DEAD is set, nothing is attempted on the socket.

sysctl.h needs compiler.h

Fix infinite loop in the device probe function.

From: Peter Osterlund <petero2@telia.com>

It oopses on module unload in the kobject layer due to misordered destruction
of things.

And we need to initialise the unplug timer in blk_alloc_queue(), because we
kill that timer in blk_alloc_queue()'s companion function,
blk_cleanup_queue().

If drain_array_locked() is passed the `force' command, it must go in and
empty the head array.

This driver has a global list of devices which has no locking.

If the driver fails partway through probing, the recovery code will call
ac97_release_codec(NULL), which oopses.

This patch fixes a bug in the SELinux module by adding a check of the
filesystem labeling behavior value obtained from the policy.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>

This patch fixes a bug in the SELinux access vector cache code, which was
incorrectly using spin_lock_irq rather than spin_lock_irqsave for the
avc_log_lock.  As this code can be called from hardirq (e.g.  from the
file_send_sigiotask hook), we need irqsave/restore here.

Currently, a writepage() which detects that it is writing outside i_size (due
to concurrent truncate) will abandon the write, returning -EIO.

The return value will bogusly cause an error to be recorded in the
address_space.  So convert all those writepage() instances to return zero in
this case.

This patch just saves a few bytes in the inode by turning mapping->gfp_mask
into an unsigned long mapping->flags.

The mapping's gfp mask is placed in the 16 high bits of mapping->flags and
two of the remaining 16 bits are used for tracking EIO and ENOSPC errors.

This leaves 14 bits in the mapping for future use.  They should be accessed
with the atomic bitops.

From: Oliver Xymoron <oxymoron@waste.org>

These patches add the infrastructure for reporting asynchronous write errors
to block devices to userspace.  Error which are detected due to pdflush or VM
writeout are reported at the next fsync, fdatasync, or msync on the given
file, and on close if the error occurs in time.

We do this by propagating any errors into page->mapping->error when they are
detected.  In fsync(), msync(), fdatasync() and close() we return that error
and zero it out.


The Open Group say close() _may_ fail if an I/O error occurred while reading
from or writing to the file system.  Well, in this implementation close() can
return -EIO or -ENOSPC.  And in that case it will succeed, not fail - perhaps
that is what they meant.


There are three patches in this series and testing has only been performed
with all three applied.

There has been a number of problem reports about local APIC
interacting badly with ACPI on P4s due to the P4 local APIC
force-enable change in 2.5.74,

This patch reverts the 2.5.74 patch, so if the BIOS disables
the local APIC on a P4, we don't enable it by default any more.

The rescue the situation for those P4 systems where the local
APIC _can_ be enabled safely, I've added two kernel parameters
that can be used to override broken BIOSen:
- "nolapic" prevents the kernel from enabling or using the local
  APIC. This is stronger than listing a machine in the DMI scan
  blacklist, since it also works for machines that boot with the
  local APIC already enabled.
- "lapic" tells the kernel to force-enable the P4 local APIC if
  the BIOS disabled it. I haven't changed the logic for P6/K7
  family processors, so we still force-enable those unless
  "nolapic" was passed to the kernel.

The patch also includes a cleanup: the dont_use_local_apic_timer
flag variable is not set any more since 2.5.74, so it's removed.
