Patch from "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>

Convert the selection of LOG_BUF_SIZE from an ifdef tangle in
printk.c into config logic.

Add a new field to the md superblock, in an used area, to record where
resync was up-to on a clean shutdown while resync is active.  Restart from
this point.

The extra field is verified by having a second copy of the event counter.
If the second event counter is wrong, we ignore the extra field.

This patch thanks to  Angus Sawyer <angus.sawyer@dsl.pipex.com>

When resyncing an array, md will back off if it detects other
activity on the device.  This used to be based on the whole
device, not the partition, but recent changes made it only
check IO on the partition.

This patch causes all sync_io accounting to be done on the
whole device (bdev->bd_contains).

Assorted fixes particularly related to handling the new style
xdr_buf buffers for NFSv4 server

It works much better than my little toy hash functions.

This uses the read-without-write style transaction files in nfsctl.
We can write a number of threads, and then read back the number of
threads that resulted, or we can just open and read in which case
we read back the number of threads without changing it.

The getfh system call takes an IP address, which is only
really appropriate for AUTH_UNIX authentication.

With this interface, you call can ask for a filehandle for a
particular domain.

You write
 domainname pathname maxlength
to the file, and then read back the filehandle

All strings a qword quoted.

The nfsd filesystem provides an interface to nfsd.
Most of the current files should be considered legacy
interfaces as they are not particularly suitable for
filesystem interaction, but are required to support the
syscall interface.
This patch puts a '.' in front of all the names so they
appear as hidden names when the directory is listed.

The transaction files in the 'nfsd' filesystem
stores the per-transaction response size in the per-inode
i_size, which is wrong.
With this patch a page is allocated for holding size and
request and response, so routines don't need to
copy_fromuser.

Also, some routines were allocating rather large (>1024 bytes)
stuctures on the stack for copy_fromuser into, which was not
nice and is now not needed.

Also, writeonly and write_read methods are unified in a single
transaction style interface.
Write then read performs and action and returns a response.
Write without read just performs the action and ignores response.
Read without write triggers an empty transaction which can still have
a response.  That functionality will be used in a later patch.

Userspace can with a time (seconds since epoch) to
  /proc/net/rpc/*/epoch
and all entries created earlier than that time will be flushed.

This provides a /proc/sunrpc/*/content seq_file for caches to display
their content.

This code is based on the code for /proc/fs/nfs/exports

Get auth_unix_lookup (maps IP address to clientname)
to use cache_check instead of checking the various state
bits manually.

Each cache channel remembers if there was a reader recently.
If there wasn't, then it doesn't bother with an up-call.
Currently, it initialises thinking there was a reader
recently incase the reader starts shortly afterwards.  However
this causes problems when a reader doesn't start soon, and
isn't necessary as the reader can easily be started before
the cache is initialised (e.g. before nfsd is started).

1/ converting to hex wasn't quite right
2/ make sure that decoding into the buffer holding
   original message works ok.

If an NFSv3 request claims an enourmous filehandle, we can believe
it and oops.  The test should be unsigned...

This patch introduces a new flag called TIF_IRET and uses it in place
of TIF_SIGPENDING when that flag is used to force return via iret.

This avoids the overhead of calling do_signal and makes the code
easier to understand.

Currently syscall_badsys is called to handle faults when reading the
sixth parameter in sysenter; however that routine assumes that
registers have already been pushed on the stack, and this is not the
case (in other words, it will currently try to pop beyond the end of
the thread stack).

This patch adds a new "function", syscall_fault, that saves register
and returns.

The return value is changed to EFAULT, which seems more appropriate
than ENOSYS.

This is just to make x86-64 boot with IOMMU and compiled in AGP driver
again.  Previously both AGP and the IOMMU code would set up an aperture,
with AGP being winner, messing up pci_map_*.

This is needed for the x86-64 update for 2.5.54 I sent earlier.

Actually using /dev/agpgart still corrupts memory unfortunately, haven't
tracked that down yet.

I also commented on some (usually 64bit, but at least one 32bit) bugs in
the driver too.

These changes should be all nops on i386.

 - Export amd k8 init function for x86-64.  It needs to be called early
   by the iommu code.  Add some comments to warn about about that (the
   upcoming VIA and SIS K8 chipsets will have the same problem)
 - Declare gatt table as u32 following the AGP spec.
 - Comment some bugs.

More x86-64 updates for 2.5.54.  Most noticeable change is that the
64bit X server works again.

This only changes x86-64 specific files.  It requires some AGP driver
changes I'm sending separately.

 - Some Makefile cleanups from Sam Ravnborg
 - Make sure extended registers in 32bit processes are zeroed and not
   accessible/changeable from ptrace.  This is to avoid potential
   security bugs with non 64bit clean 32bit emulation functions (they
   often are overflow prone etc.)
 - Some 32bit emulation cleanups from Stephen Rothwell
 - Make copy_*_user source const to fix warnings.
 - Set fs/gs to dummy values when the 64bit segment base is set to not
   confuse the context switch (Karsten Keil, me)
	* still one mysterious bug in this area unfortunately.
 - Make MAP_32BIT for 64bit processes only map in the first 31bit,
   because it is usually used to map small model code.  This fixes the X
   server crashes.  Some cleanups in this area.
 - Don't set O_LARGEFILE for 32bit open
 - Handle ptregs calls from 32bit syscall correctly.
 - Implement aio io_getevents for 32bit.
 - Remove buggy unused command handler in nfsd 32bit emulation.
 - Convert timespec in semtimedop (thanks to Anton for telling me about
   this)
 - Ignore long mode flag from 32bit modify_ldt.  This fixes Wine, which
   left it uninitialized (bug found by Karsten Keil)
 - Merge with i386
 - Handle new kallsyms
 - Remove some superfluous bootup printks

Wondering why my CD-writer did not have a name in sysfs, I saw
that when the name is longer than 50 bytes no name at all is used.
The (much smaller) code below constructs a truncated name instead.

This patch fixes the handling of IOPL when sysenter is used.

Currently when entering kernel mode, IOPL is not changed and it is not
presserved across context switches: thus, in the kernel, the IOPL value
is random.

This is not a problem when using iret, because it restores eflags, but
the sysexit code currently doesn't, which means that that IOPL becomes
random in user mode too which is of course not good.

This patch fixes the problem by saving eflags across context switches.

Also update zalon to C99 initialisers

The Zalon card is a GSC 53c720 based card.  This driver adopts
the ncr53c8xx driver for the purpose.

When separating out the duplicated xmit handling, we were lucky that
we could reuse BC_Send_Data for our purposes. Introduce a more
extensible "struct bc_l1_ops" instead, and initialize that in
the code that provides the functionality, not in the users.

Realize that *_empty_fifo() and *_fill_fifo() are always called
under the card lock, so no additional protection when reading/writing
fifos is needed.

Same thing which just happened to hscx_irq.c - Use the struct
bc_hw_ops instead of macros and inlining.

Each driver for HSCX based cards defined some hardware access macros
and #include'd hscx_irq.c. Instead, we now add the needed routines to
the corresponding bc_hw_ops and use regular function calls. It's a slight
bit less efficient, but shouldn't be noticable.

Using {isac,hscx}_{read,write} instead of the low-level
readreg/writereg simplifies the code a bit.

Preparing for un-inlining hscx_irq.c, we add operations needed
to access the B-Channel FIFO's, similar to what we already have
for the D-Channel.

Basically only a cosmetic patch, with much renaming and a little
rearranging of code.
