"clear_buffer_locked()" is just a nicer name for a clear-bit, and
on x86 (and others) we don't need any expensive memory barriers
after that.

kfifo_alloc tries to round up the buffer size to the next power of two.

But it accidently uses the original size when calling kfifo_init,
which will BUG.

This clarifies more of the x86 caller/callee stack ownership
issues by making the exception and interrupt handler assembler
interfaces use register calling conventions.

System calls still use the stack.

Tested with "crashme" on UP/SMP.

We need to open the gap between congestion on/off a little bit, or we
risk burning many cycles continually putting processes on a wait queue
only to wake them up again immediately. This was observed with CFQ at
least, which showed way excessive sys time.

The routine ext2_readdir() will, when reading a directory page
returns an error, try the next page, without reporting the
error to user space. That is bad, and the patch below changes that.

In my case the filesystem was damaged, and ext2_readdir wanted
to read 60000+ pages and wrote as many error messages to syslog
("attempt to access beyond end"), not what one wants.

[no doubt a similar patch is appropriate for ext3]

This preserves 2.4.x behavior.

bits_wanted is expanded to bytes using the wrong shift value
(when iovp_shift != PAGE_SHIFT), resulting in an explosion of
used iommu resources.

This potentially results in mistakenly running out of DMA mapping

XFree (and X.org) has both always been broken in their conversion of the DPMS
blanking mode when passing to the kernel ioctl FBIOBLANK (in fbdev mode).

This patch makes sure that at least the value passed by userland stays in the
legal range, which has the side effect that an X DPMS POWERDOWN request will
result as an fbdev VESA_POWERDOWN request at the fbdev level now, instead of
an out-of-range value.

Superio cleanup
Committed-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>

The default interruption handler "handle_interruption" does not properly
check to see if the faulting space is the same as the users space.
The problem lies in the fact that if a fault happens on the gateway we
will not deliver signals to the process, the process will not die, and we
may continue handling the same fault in a loop forever.  Any malicious
user code can crash the kernel by jumping into the gateway page at an
inopportune address.

The solution is to check if the user has the right privilege and if the
spaces match, both faulting and currently active. The best action is to
force the process back to it's own space of execution at address zero, and
let it take a SIGSEGV. The process can never recover from this because it
happens immediately after the return from the interrupt via rfi or rfir.
