Most of the instances of <module>.o in Kconfig files have had the ".o"
extension trimmed.  This change came from GertJan Spoelman through Rusty
"Trivial" Russell.

However, there are a few files that didn't get trimmed.  This brings
them line with the rest of the tree.

so that there isn't any window for running before the signal
handler has been invoced.

from certain states.

This simplifies "default_wake_function()", and makes it possible for
signal handling to wake up only the processes it _should_ wake up
without races.

  OK, here is a new patch, I edited the old patch and took out the .ko's
  so now the extension is trimmed instead.

  On 64-bit platforms, issuing write(2) with buffer larger than
  2GB will return -1 and broken errno (such as 2147483640)
  Requested data itself is written correctly.

  That is because generic_file_write() and other relating functions
  store 'ssize_t written' into 'int err'. Written byte is trimmed to
  int and then sign-extended to a negative ssize_t value, which
  wrongly indicates an error.

  (On 64bit platform, current glibc defines SSIZE_MAX as 'LONG_MAX')

  Summary: Wildcards in RTC alarm settings failed to work

  Description:
   The RTC has provision for wildcards when setting the alarm; to
   use them you have to write a value higher than 0xc0 to the
   appropriate hr/min/sec entry.  The driver used 0xff, which is
   fine, but it mistakenly fed the 0xff through BIN_TO_BCD before
   writing them (which is < 0xc0) and so wildcards didn't work.
   (Thanks to Gerhard Kurz for reporting the bug.)

  parport_pc_pnp_driver is const if !CONFIG_PNP, while pnp_register_driver()
  takes a non-const pointer as parameter.

  An alternative fix is to change the prototype of the dummy
  pnp_register_driver(), but this may affect other drivers.

Interestingly, nobody much seems to care. Apparently few programs
check the error value.

them do want to temporarily block signals.

Kernel users can also block signals that are normally unblockable
to user space, ie SIGKILL and SIGSTOP.

Make nfsd and autofs use the new interface, as an example to others. 

Do not crash on null pointer dereference, if cannot reread superblock.

  - a read_lock(&tasklist_lock) is missing around the group_send_sig_info()
    in send_sig_info().

 - session-IDs and group-IDs are set outside the tasklist lock. This
   causes breakage in the USB code. The correct fix is to do this:

I introduced the bug with the new pidhash.
