This is a merge of the two things that are needed for the plugging as it stands in 2.5.21. The first is fixing the locking to be both clearer and safe (Andrew repeatedly broke the old version). The second is a few changes that allow make_request_fn drivers to utilize plugging. This is needed for umem and raid, for instance, that have their private plugging.

The always-appreciated Stanford Checker found a memory leak in net/socket.c :: sock_fasync. It was a bit tricky since the memory was only conditionally allocated, so must only conditionally be freed.

This patch fixes the Compaq WL210 problems I've been having. The symptoms were that no interupts were ever received from the card; the BIOS reported it had assigned INTA to IRQ 10; but the yenta driver reported IRQ 17. The fix is not to rely on the BIOS's initialisation of interrupt routing in the TI1410, but to do it explicitly. This may break laptops that actually use the parallel ISA IRQ mechanism.

Many old ISA drivers are not 64bit clean. To avoid dealing with them on x86-64 I guarded them with CONFIG_ISA. This is also helpful for other archs (including modern x86) that do not have ISA slots anymore. The patch has been reviewed by Linux-Kernel, with some additional cleanups by me. It misses some directories like ISDN or sound drivers.

This fixes a potential security issue on i386. FXRSTOR raises an #GP when the MXCSR field in the FXSAVE frame contains illegal values. By putting an signal frame just at a border to an unmapped page a malicious user could potentially cause an exception in the context switch using this. When the EFAULT occurs in the last bytes of the signal frame the MXCSR check would be skipped in the old code, but the rogue value would be already in task_struct, causing problems later. Here is the minimal fix for this. Originally discovered by Andrea while doing x86-64 work. It was fixed in a different way a bit more intrusive way on x86-64 - all FXRSTOR in the kernel are guarded by exception handlers.

It's nearly impossible to get the correct CPU names for AMD CPUs in the MP table (would need BIOS calls etc.). The decoding of CPU names form the mptable doesn't look too useful anyways, because the correct CPU name from CPUID is printed only a few lines later. This patch just removes the name table and replaces it with a printout of the hex value. This mirrors a change in x86-64

Remove myself as networking maintainer. I haven't done much for networking for a long time and it doesn't look likely it'll change anytime soon. Also David/Alexey are doing a fine job without me.

Here is the big 2.5.21 x86-64 sync patch. It only touches arch/x86_64 and include/asm-x86_64. It requires a few other changes that I'm sending in separate mail. Changes: - merge wit 2.5.21 - merge from 2.5.21/i386 (new PCI code, new LDT code etc.) - sync with 2.4-x86_64 tree. - minor updates to 32bit emulation - better early console; including serial support. - now set up dummy PDA for booting to avoid problems - Fix GS reloading in context switch one instruction race - Remove hardcoded names from mpparse code - Fix inline assembly for RAID-5 xor (similar change needed for i386) - Real per cpu data support based on PDA field - Cleanup of offset.c generation requested by Kai: it only puts structure offsets into offset.h now. - Fix i387 fxsave signal frame problems. - Add uname emulation via personality ("linux32") - New SSE optimized checksum-copy, copy*user, memcpy, clear_page, copy_page functions. Other tunings/cleanups in checksum and other user memory access function. - check if exception table is really sorted - Cleanups in page table handling in preparation of non executable pages support. - Cleanup PDA access to not require offset.h (thanks to kai for kicking me to this) - use long long for u64/s64 to avoid more warnings - remove CONFIG_ISA - fix various bugs and other cleanups

end_request(int) turned to end_request(req, int); all old callers are converted to end_request(CURRENT, value). Now we can start killing CURRENT/QUEUE - end_request() was the last obstacle to that.

ditto for DEVICE_INTR/CLEAR_INTR. do_mfm/do_acsi/do_hd/... are explicitly declared in the drivers that use DEVICE_INTR stuff; DEVICE_INTR/CLEAR_INTR is gone from blk.h.

#define DEVICE_NAME ... removed from the drivers that never use that macro.

monstrous cascade of #ifdefs is gone from blk.h. This is the first step of cleanup - we move #define in question into the code that includes blk.h (i.e. DEVICE_NR, DEVICE_NAME and DEVICE_INTR are explicitly set by drivers).

->s_dev is switched to dev_t. Everything that uses it uses it as a number - i.e. all instances are either minor() or kdev_t_to_nr().

->j_dev is gone from reiserfs journal. All its uses had been replaced with use of ->j_dev_bd; it's simply not used anymore.

get_super() split in two functions - get_super(bdev) and user_get_super(dev_t). Callers that used get_super() to get superblock by (dev_t) syscall argument switched to the latter; the rest had block_device in question and switched to passing it.

ROOT_DEV converted to dev_t. There's no reason for it to be kdev_t - it's both used as a number and set as a number.

do_getattr() renamed to vfs_getattr(), exported and used by loop.c and nfsd - both blindly accessed ->i_dev/->i_ino of random inodes when they ought to be calling ->getattr() to get that information.

misc gratitious kdev_t uses fixed (janitorial stuff - e.g. quota patches had reintroduced kdevname(sb->s_dev) in places where we'd switched to sb->s_id, etc.)
