      [PCMCIA] Fix deadlocks caused between PCMCIA card fix and device model · 1d921834
      Russell King authored
      The problem was that the semaphore which prevents ds interfering with
      the sleepy card initialisation (skt_sem in pccardd) is blocking insmod
      of the socket driver.  However, the socket driver is being called with
      the PCI bus semaphore held by the driver model.
      
      pccardd in turn discovered a cardbus card (with skt_sem held), so it
      is trying to add the PCI devices to the PCI bus, and this requires the
      driver model to grab the PCI bus semaphore, but its already locked.
      
      We move the class device register into pccardd so we get a natural
      ordering between the ds socket initialisation and pccardd trying to
      detect inserted cards.
      
      We also fix a potential use-after-free caused by rmmod'ing the socket
      driver before ds has shut down.

      [ARM] Avoid using clone syscall from kernel_thread() · 384151a9
      Russell King authored
      Don't issue a system call from kernel_thread(), but call do_fork()
      directly.  This avoids all the unnecessary syscall overhead.

      [PATCH] fix for hidden-task problem · 01660410
      Albert Cahalan authored
      It's bad to make (CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_DETACHED) tasks
      be _completely_ hidden. Resource consumption is hard
      to track down if a user can hide a task from /bin/ps.
      
      This patch, supported by the procps-3.1.13 release,
      gives admins the ability to search for such tasks.
      The top-level /proc directory remains uncontaminated.

      [PATCH] Move EISA_bus · 972b4a74
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      When I change the setting of CONFIG_EISA, everything rebuilds.  This is
      because EISA_bus is declared in <asm/processor.h> which is implicitly
      included by just about everything.  This is a silly place to declare it,
      so this patch moves it to include/linux/eisa.h.
      
      While I'm at it, I also move the variable definition to
      drivers/eisa/eisa-bus.c.  The rest of this patch is fixing up the fallout
      from having to include <linux/eisa.h> if you use EISA_bus.
