virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.
There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.
So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core. The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.
Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.
Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.
API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

virtio: change config to guest endian.
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big

The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian,
because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space
for virtio_pci. It's actually a separate mmio region, so that
argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio
mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the

autofs4: fix execution order race in mount request code
Jeff Moyer has identified a race in due to an execution order dependency
in the autofs4 function root.c:try_to_fill_dentry().
Jeff's description of this race is:
"P1 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo. Since the VFS can't find an entry
for "foo" under /mount/submount, it calls into the autofs4 kernel module to
allocate a new dentry, D1. The kernel creates a new waitq for this lookup and
calls the daemon to perform the mount.
The daemon performs a mkdir of the "foo" directory under /mount/submount,
which ends up creating a *new* dentry, D2.
Then, P2 does a lookup of /mount/submount/foo. The VFS path walking logic
finds a dentry in the dcache, D2, and calls the revalidate function with this.
In the autofs4 revalidate code, we then trigger a mount, since the dentry is
an empty directory that isn't a mountpoint, and so set DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING
and call into the wait code to trigger the mount.
The wait code finds our existing waitq entry (since it is keyed off of the
directory name) and adds itself to the list of waiters.
After the daemon finishes the mount, it calls back into the kernel to release
the waiters. When this happens, P1 is woken up and goes about clearing the
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag, but it does this in D1! So, given that P1 in our
case is a program that will immediately try to access a file under
/mount/submount/foo, we end up finding the dentry D2 which still has the
pending flag set, and we set out to wait for a mount *again*!
So, one way to address this is to re-do the lookup at the end of
try_to_fill_dentry, and to clear the pending flag on the hashed dentry. This
seems a sane approach to me."
And Jeff's patch does this.

kexec: make extended crashkernel= syntax less confusing
The extended crashkernel syntax is a little confusing in the way it handles
ranges. eg:
crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
Means if the machine has between 512M and 2G of memory the crash region should
be 64M, and if the machine has 2G of memory the region should be 64M. Only if
the machine has more than 2G memory will 128M be allocated.
Although that semantic is correct, it is somewhat baffling. Instead I propose
that the end of the range means the first address past the end of the range,
ie: 512M up to but not including 2G.

be quite bewildering at that (e.g. "Why was that large source tree rebuilt
when I didn't modify anything???")
This affects all kernels from 2.6.22, when the utimensat() syscall was
introduced.
Fix by doing the same permission checking as for the "times == NULL" case.
Thanks to Michael Kerrisk, whose utimensat-non-conformances-and-fixes.patch in
-mm also fixes this (and breaks other stuff), only he didn't realize the
security implications of this bug.

ntp: handle leap second via timer
Remove the leap second handling from second_overflow(), which doesn't have to
check for it every second anymore. With CONFIG_NO_HZ this also makes sure the
leap second is handled close to the full second. Additionally this makes it
possible to abort a leap second properly by resetting the STA_INS/STA_DEL
status bits.

This adds a few more things from the ntp nanokernel related to user space.
It's now possible to select the resolution used of some values via STA_NANO

If some values for adjtimex() are outside the acceptable range, they are now
simply normalized instead of letting the syscall fail. I removed

remove div_long_long_rem
x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.
The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.
There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.

introduce explicit signed/unsigned 64bit divide
The current do_div doesn't explicitly say that it's unsigned and the signed
counterpart is missing, which is e.g. needed when dealing with time values.
This introduces 64bit signed/unsigned divide functions which also attempts to
cleanup the somewhat awkward calling API, which often requires the use of
temporary variables for the dividend. To avoid the need for temporary
variables everywhere for the remainder, each divide variant also provides a
version which doesn't return the remainder.
Each architecture can now provide optimized versions of these function,
otherwise generic fallback implementations will be used.
As an example I provided an alternative for the current x86 divide, which
avoids the asm casts and using an union allows gcc to generate better code.
It also avoids the upper divde in a few more cases, where the result is known
(i.e. upper quotient is zero).

tasklets: execute tasklets in the same order they were queued
Reverting this patch seems to fix the problem. I looked into takeover_tasklet
and it seems that there is a way to corrupt the tail pointer of the current
cpu. If the tasklet list of the frozen cpu is empty, the tail pointer of the
current cpu points to the address of the head pointer of the stopped cpu and
not to the next pointer of a tasklet_struct.
This patch avoids the list splice of the list is empty and cpu hotplug seems
to work as the tail pointer is not corrupted. Olof, can you look into that
patch and ACK/NACK it so Andrew can push this to Linus, if appropriate?
Please note that some lines are longer than 80 chars, but line-wrapping looked
worse that this version.
