proc: fix proc_dir_entry refcounting
Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below).
Switch to usual scheme:
* PDE is created with refcount 1
* every de_get does +1
* every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1
* once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed.
This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without
introducing new locks, without abusing old locks, without spreading
lock_kernel():
1) PDE leak
remove_proc_entry de_put
----------------- ------
[refcnt = 1]
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
if (de->deleted)
/* also not taken! */
free_proc_entry(de);
else
de->deleted = 1;
[refcount=0, deleted=1]
Also, remove broken usage of ->deleted from reiserfs: if sget() succeeds,
module is already pinned and remove_proc_entry() can't happen => nobody
can mark PDE deleted.
Dummy proc root in netns code is not marked with refcount 1. AFAICS, we
never get it, it's just for proper /proc/net removal. I double checked
CLONE_NETNS continues to work.
Patch survives many hours of modprobe/rmmod/cat loops without new bugs
which can be attributed to refcounting.

jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.c
Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.
If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).
We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.
Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something
changes in future...

Avoid potential NULL dereference in unregister_sysctl_table
register_sysctl_table() can return NULL sometimes, e.g. when kmalloc()
returns NULL or when sysctl check fails.
I've also noticed, that many (most?) code in the kernel doesn't check for
the return value from register_sysctl_table() and later simply calls the
unregister_sysctl_table() with potentially NULL argument.
This is unlikely on a common kernel configuration, but in case we're
dealing with modules and/or fault-injection support, there's a slight
possibility of an OOPS.
Changing all the users to check for return code from the registering does
not look like a good solution - there are too many code doing this and
failure in sysctl tables registration is not a good reason to abort module
loading (in most of the cases).
So I think, that we can just have this check in unregister_sysctl_table
just to avoid accidental OOPS-es (actually, the unregister_sysctl_table()
did exactly this, before the start_unregistering() appeared).

Currently we are complicating the code in copy_process, the clone ABI, and
if we fix the bugs sys_setsid itself, with an unnecessary open coded
version of sys_setsid.
So just simplify everything and don't special case the session and pgrp of
the initial process in a pid namespace.
Having this special case actually presents to user space the classic linux
startup conditions with session == pgrp == 0 for /sbin/init.
We already handle sending signals to processes in a child pid namespace.
We need to handle sending signals to processes in a parent pid namespace
for cases like SIGCHILD and SIGIO.
This makes nothing extra visible inside a pid namespace. So this extra
special case appears to have no redeeming merits.
Further removing this special case increases the flexibility of how we can
use pid namespaces, by not requiring the initial process in a pid namespace
to be a daemon.

uml: work around host tcsetattr bug
Under the conditions that UML uses it, tcgetattr is guaranteed to return
-EINTR when the console is attached to /dev/ptmx, making generic_console_write
hang because it loops, calling tcgetattr until it succeeds. This is a host
bug - see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119618990807182&w=2 for the
details.
This patch works around it by blocking SIGIO while the terminal attributes are
being fiddled.

[INET]: Fix inet_diag dead-lock regression
The inet_diag register fix broke inet_diag module loading because the
loaded module had to take the same mutex that's already held by the
loader in order to register the new handler.
This patch fixes it by introducing a separate mutex to protect the
handling of handlers.

It turns out that this change caused some machines to fail to come
back up when being rebooted, and generated an error in the hypervisor
error log on some machines. The platform architecture (PAPR) is a
little unclear on exactly when the RTAS ibm,os-term function should be
called. Until that is clarified I'm reverting this commit.

ACPICA: fix acpi-cpufreq boot crash due to _PSD return-by-reference
Changed resolution of named references in packages
Fixed a problem with the Package operator where all named
references were created as object references and left otherwise
unresolved. According to the ACPI specification, a Package can
only contain Data Objects or references to control methods. The
implication is that named references to Data Objects (Integer,
Buffer, String, Package, BufferField, Field) should be resolved
immediately upon package creation. This is the approach taken
with this change. References to all other named objects (Methods,
Devices, Scopes, etc.) are all now properly created as reference objects.
Commit cfb5285660aad4931b2ebbfa902ea48a37dfffa1 removed a useful feature for
us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller. This feature would be
useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt
really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption.
The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's
original patch (Commit 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f), with
these differences:
- Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp
to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for
2.6.25 after more discussions.
- Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs
stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler
classes
- Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage
counter to be per-cpu
- Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the
code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly
needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing
rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in
kernel/sched.c)
The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting
information.
Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran
some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in
the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with
cpuacct.usage.

sata_mv: Fix broken Marvell 7042 support.
sata_mv: Fix broken Marvell 7042 support.
The Marvell 7042 chip is more or less the same as the 6042 internally,
but sports a PCIe bus. Despite having identical SATA cores, the 7042
does differ from its PCI bus counterparts in placment and layout of
certain bus related registers.
This patch fixes sata_mv to distinguish between the PCI bus registers
of earlier chips, and the PCIe bus registers of the 7042.
Specifically, move the offsets and bit patterns for the
PCI/PCIe interrupt cause/mask registers into the struct mv_host_priv,
as these values differ between the 6xxx and 7xxx series chips.
This fixes the driver to not access reserved PCI addresses,
and prevents the lockups reported in linux-2.6.24 with 7042 boards.
Also add a new PCI ID for the Highpoint 2300 7042-based board
that I'm using for testing this stuff here.
Tested with Marvell 6081 + 7042 chips, on x86 & x86_64.

Thanks. This should fix the real cause, and also allow for port start to
fail politely with -ENODEV.
