      Revert "rtc: Expire alarms after the time is set." · f423fc62
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit 93b2ec01.

The call to "schedule_work()" in rtc_initialize_alarm() happens too
early, and can cause oopses at bootup

Neil Brown explains why we do it:

  "If you set an alarm in the future, then shutdown and boot again after
   that time, then you will end up with a timer_queue node which is in
   the past.

   When this happens the queue gets stuck.  That entry-in-the-past won't
   get removed until and interrupt happens and an interrupt won't happen
   because the RTC only triggers an interrupt when the alarm is "now".

   So you'll find that e.g.  "hwclock" will always tell you that
   'select' timed out.

   So we force the interrupt work to happen at the start just in case."

and has a patch that convert it to do things in-process rather than with
the worker thread, but right now it's too late to play around with this,
so we just revert the patch that caused problems for now.

      Revert "rtc: Disable the alarm in the hardware" · 157e8bf8
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit c0afabd3.

It causes failures on Toshiba laptops - instead of disabling the alarm,
it actually seems to enable it on the affected laptops, resulting in
(for example) the laptop powering on automatically five minutes after
shutdown.

There's a patch for it that appears to work for at least some people,
but it's too late to play around with this, so revert for now and try
again in the next merge window.

See for example

      hung_task: fix false positive during vfork · f9fab10b

      security: Fix security_old_inode_init_security() when CONFIG_SECURITY is not set · 30e05324
      Jan Kara authored 
      Commit 1e39f384 ("evm: fix build problems") makes the stub version
of security_old_inode_init_security() return 0 when CONFIG_SECURITY is
not set.

But that makes callers such as reiserfs_security_init() assume that
security_old_inode_init_security() has set name, value, and len
arguments properly - but security_old_inode_init_security() left them
uninitialized which then results in interesting failures.

Revert security_old_inode_init_security() to the old behavior of
returning EOPNOTSUPP since both callers (reiserfs and ocfs2) handle this
just fine.

[ Also fixed the S_PRIVATE(inode) case of the actual non-stub
  security_old_inode_init_security() function to return EOPNOTSUPP
  for the same reason, as pointed out by Mimi Zohar.

  It got incorrectly changed to match the new function in commit
  fb88c2b6: "evm: fix security/security_old_init_security return
  code".   - Linus ]
