Here is the x86_64 part of the patch with Andi's blessing.

This patch creates compat_sys_fcntl{,64}. The diffstat for the whole patch set is below, but this is just the generic part, the architecture specific parts will follow. This patch also removes struct flock64 from all the 64 bit architectures (except parisc).

Patch from Dave Miller. Fixes a very long-standing bug. If a process has an fd open against a now-removed directory, lookups on that fd will end up calling ext2_find_entry() against a zero-length directory. When this happens ext2_find_entry() will, on the first pass through the loop, set `kaddr' to page_address(page) - 20. Things get confused and the "zero length directory entry" warning triggers. This only happens on 64-bit machines, because ext2_last_byte() is returning an unsigned (32-bit) value, and the arithmetic works out OK for 32-bit machines. So we change ext2_find_entry() to bale out immediately if the directory is zero-length. All other directory-walking functions do this, but ext2_find_entry() forgot to, due to the search-from-the-last-place optimisation.

Fix a couple of ext3 error handling routines to not assume that the superblock has valid journal and buffer_head pointers. These functions are called during mount and unmount and that may not be true. This should fix the oops which Zwane saw when mounting a corrupt filesystem.

I enabled the advanced use-after-free detector for large slab objects and the kernel oopsed. This is because that debug code adds things at the head of the slab objects, and the kernel will die if task_structs are not well-aligned. The way to tell the slab allocator that it is not allowed to misalign objects from this slab is SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN.

Patch from Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz> Reported by Oleg Drokin. In NCP_IOC_SETOBJECTNAME handler, we allocated space (newname pointer), copy stuff from userspace to there and then assign userspace pointer to our internal structure, whoops!

The conversion of the console registration to an initcall-style thing has broken lots of people's setups. It is now dependent upon linkage order and if you have both CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE and CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE, no boot messages come out on the screen because the kernel is selecting the serial console first. It can be fixed by specifying console=tty0, but nobody is doing that. We can fix it up by placing drivers/char/ in front of drivers/serial/ in linkage order.

Make x86-64 boot again after the INITIAL_JIFFIES changes and some bug fixes. Also some work for NPTL. - Merge with i386/2.5.64-bk3 - Fix memory leak in copy_thread - arch_prctl uses GDT for base if possible. Cleanup. - clone supports bases >32bit for SETTLS etc. %fs hardcoded now. - new ptrace support for 64bit TLS - Disable (set|get)_thread_* for 64bit processes. - Audit arch/x86_64 for jiffies wrap issues. - Fix initial jiffies problem (that caused hanging kernels) - FIx a few 32bit emulation bugs (sigaltstack, sigqueue) - Some cleanup from Pavel - Should compile again as UP - Shrink size a bit by not putting exception tables into object files. - Fix compilation with gcc 3.3 :- force inlining when needed - Work around 2.5.64-bk3 console init bug. - Fix some alignments in assembly code

Rationale: devfs_only does nothing but disabling {un,}register_blkdev and {un,}register_chrdev. {un,}register_blkdev already do nothing but adding it's name argument to a lookup table for the __bdevname and /proc/device output so this use is already bogus. The disabling of the character device per-major arrays can work in practice but is useless as any driver relying on it can't be used on non-devfs systems.

This fixes a bunch of "src" versus "obj" confusions that apparently existed in my bootsect removal patch. How embarrassing...

This recent patch caused Nick Piggin's 2xPIII VIA686B chipset machine into an interrupts-off lockup during IDE probing. We don't really know why - it might be because an interrupt is delivered to a secondary which doesn't expect it. I have a second patch from Zwane which solves the same problem in a different way, but until that's had some wider testing I suggest we just back off the original.

entry routine load the real ESP0 off that per-cpu stack. Make this even faster by putting the sysenter stack in the per-CPU TSS, so that we can use the tss->esp0 value directly (which we have to update on task switches anyway). CAREFUL! This needs very subtle code for debug and NMI exceptions, to make sure we don't run with the sysenter stack in any real kernel code!

This patch is a update for the video-buf mm helper module. It has some minor bugfixes and a number of signed/unsigned cleanups to make gcc 3.3 happy.

This allows us to avoid having to use atomic updates for the lazy FP status setting, since we don't have to worry about other CPU's racing on the fields. Also, fix x86 FP state after fork() by making sure the FP is unlazied _before_ we copy the state information. Otherwise, if a process did a fork() while holding the FP state lazily in the registers, the child would incorrectly unlazy bogus state.

This set of changes addresses the following issues with the existing card service implementation: 1.) Only one driver can be bound to a card. 2.) repetive code is required for pnp_request_card_device and other functions This patch will make the card services usable by ALSA.

If we raced on a timer expire, we'd get a negative timeout and think that is was a _huge_ positive timeout.
