With irqpoll enabled, trying to test the IRQF_IRQPOLL flag in the
actions would cause a NULL pointer dereference if no action was
installed (for example, the driver might have been unloaded with

So be a bit more careful about testing the flag by making sure to test
for that case.

(The actual _change_ is trivial, the patch is more than a one-liner

Prevent going idle with softirq pending

The NOHZ patch contains a check for softirqs pending when a CPU goes idle.
The BUG is unrelated to NOHZ, it just was made visible by the NOHZ patch.
The BUG showed up mainly on P4 / hyperthreading enabled machines which lead
the investigations into the wrong direction in the first place.  The real
cause is in cond_resched_softirq():

cond_resched_softirq() is enabling softirqs without invoking the softirq
daemon when softirqs are pending.  This leads to the warning message in the
NOHZ idle code:

t1 runs softirq disabled code on CPU#0
interrupt happens, softirq is raised, but deferred (softirqs disabled)
t1 calls cond_resched_softirq()
enables softirqs via _local_bh_enable()
calls schedule()
t2 runs
t1 is migrated to CPU#1
t2 is done and invokes idle()
NOHZ detects the pending softirq

Fix: change _local_bh_enable() to local_bh_enable() so the softirq
daemon is invoked.

eCryptfs: delay writing 0's after llseek until write

Delay writing 0's out in eCryptfs after a seek past the end of the file
until data is actually written.

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/lseek.html

``The lseek() function shall not, by itself, extend the size of a
file.''

Without this fix, applications that lseek() past the end of the file without
writing will experience unexpected behavior.

recalc_sigpending_tsk fixes

Steve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in
do_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals
from waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set.

In fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals
code are also subject to this problem in other race conditions.

This change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code.  It
changes the outside calls, as well as do_sigaction, to use the new
recalc_sigpending_and_wake instead.

USB: Add support for Olimex arm-usb-ocd JTAG interface serial port

This patch adds support for the serial port on Olimex arm-usb-ocd
JTAG interface.

The device appears as two serial ports, but the first one is reserved
for the JTAG interface. The JTAG interface can be used with OpenOCD
from userspace. For more information, please see:

I suspect that my mailer may be mangling patches so let me know and
I'll try to resend it.
