m68knommu: ColdFire add support for kernel preemption (missing chunk)
As the subject says this patch adds the support for kernel preemption on
m68knommu Coldfire. I thing the same changes could be applied to 68360 &
68328 but since I don't have the HW, I don't touch it. Kconfig enables the
preemption item only on coldfire.
This is a missing chunk from Sebastian's original patch that I lost from the
first submission.

uml: random driver fixes
The random driver would essentially hang if the host's /dev/random returned
-EAGAIN. There was a test of need_resched followed by a schedule inside the
loop, but that didn't help and it's the wrong way to work anyway.
The right way is to ask for an interrupt when there is input available from
the host and handle it then rather than polling.
Now, when the host's /dev/random returns -EAGAIN, the driver asks for a wakeup
when there's randomness available again and sleeps. The interrupt routine
just wakes up whatever processes are sleeping on host_read_wait.
There is an atomic_t, host_sleep_count, which counts the number of processes
waiting for randomness. When this reaches zero, the interrupt is disabled.
An added complication is that async I/O notification was only recently added
to /dev/random (by me), so essentially all hosts will lack it. So, we use the
sigio workaround here, which is to have a separate thread poll on the
descriptor and send an interrupt when there is input on it. This mechanism is
activated when a process gets -EAGAIN (activating this multiple times is
harmless, if a bit wasteful) and deactivated by the last process still
waiting.
The module name was changed from "random" to "hw_random" in order for udev to
recognize it.
The sigio workaround needed some changes. sigio_broken was added for cases
when we know that async notification doesn't work. This is now called from
maybe_sigio_broken, which deals with pts devices.

UML's supposed nanosecond clock interacts badly with NTP when NTP
decides that the clock has drifted ahead and needs to be slowed down.
Slowing down the clock is done by decrementing the cycle-to-nanosecond

stopped.
This is fixed by switching to a microsecond clock, with a multiplier
of 1000.

Because it's not correct with a non-preemptable BKL and just causes

Of course, that config option actually got removed as an option earlier,

ever resurrected it will be a meaningful optimization. And in the

So don't make the code look up 'current', when we can just use the

level of indirection and tends to work better together with code that
also looks at other thread flags (eg preempt_count).

the dummy device mechanism to use the new matching scheme.
This has the downside that dummy i2c clients can no longer choose
their name, they'll all appear as "dummy" in sysfs and in log
messages. I don't think it is a problem in practice though, as there
is little reason to use these i2c clients to log messages.
The frequency may have been once hardcoded to 100 kHz, but currently it is
passed as an argument to i2c_sibyte_add_bus(), so update the comment to
match code. While at it, reformat a nearby comment for consistency. No
functional changes.

i2c: Improve smbus-protocol documentation
Improve the smbus-protocol documentation file somewhat:
- Use the names of the SMBus protocol operations (from the 2.0
specification), not made-up-for-Linux names.
- Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and
point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute
different protocol operations than their names specify.
The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_write_byte(). When coding, that's not as bad as it may
seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.

[CIFS] don't allow demultiplex thread to exit until kthread_stop is called
cifs_demultiplex_thread can exit under several conditions:
1) if it's signaled
2) if there's a problem with session setup
3) if kthread_stop is called on it
The first two are problems. If kthread_stop is called on the thread,
there is no guarantee that it will still be up. We need to have the
thread stay up until kthread_stop is called on it.
One option would be to not even try to tear things down until after
kthread_stop is called. However, in the case where there is a problem
setting up the session, there's no real reason to try continuing the
loop.
This patch allows the thread to clean up and prepare for exit under all
three conditions, but it has the thread go to sleep until kthread_stop
is called. This allows us to simplify the shutdown code somewhat since
we can be reasonably sure that the thread won't exit after being
signaled but before kthread_stop is called.
It also removes the places where the thread itself set the tsk variable
since it appeared that it could have a potential race where the thread
might never be shut down.

[CIFS] when not using unix extensions, check for and set ATTR_READONLY on create and mkdir

When creating a file, set ATTR_READONLY if the create mode has no write

There are some comments about this being problematic due to the VFS
splitting creates into 2 parts. I'm not sure what that's actually

sparc: Fix debugger syscall restart interactions.
So, forever, we've had this ptrace_signal_deliver implementation
which tries to handle all of the nasties that can occur when the
debugger looks at a process about to take a signal. It's meant
to address all of these issues inside of the kernel so that the
debugger need not be mindful of such things.
Problem is, this doesn't work.
The idea was that we should do the syscall restart business first, so
that the debugger captures that state. Otherwise, if the debugger for
example saves the child's state, makes the child execute something
else, then restores the saved state, we won't handle the syscall
restart properly because we lose the "we're in a syscall" state.
The code here worked for most cases, but if the debugger actually
passes the signal through to the child unaltered, it's possible that
we would do a syscall restart when we shouldn't have.
In particular this breaks the case of debugging a process under a gdb
which is being debugged by yet another gdb. gdb uses sigsuspend
to wait for SIGCHLD of the inferior, but if gdb itself is being
debugged by a top-level gdb we get a ptrace_stop(). The top-level gdb
does a PTRACE_CONT with SIGCHLD to let the inferior gdb see the
signal. But ptrace_signal_deliver() assumed the debugger would cancel
out the signal and therefore did a syscall restart, because the return
error was ERESTARTNOHAND.
Fix this by simply making ptrace_signal_deliver() a nop, and providing
a way for the debugger to control system call restarting properly:
1) Report a "in syscall" software bit in regs->{tstate,psr}.
It is set early on in trap entry to a system call and is fully
visible to the debugger via ptrace() and regsets.
2) Test this bit right before doing a syscall restart. We have
to do a final recheck right after get_signal_to_deliver() in
case the debugger cleared the bit during ptrace_stop().
3) Clear the bit in trap return so we don't accidently try to set
that bit in the real register.
As a result we also get a ptrace_{is,clear}_syscall() for sparc32 just
like sparc64 has.
M68K has this same exact bug, and is now the only other user of the
ptrace_signal_deliver hook. It needs to be fixed in the same exact
way as sparc.

BKL: revert back to the old spinlock implementation
The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.
The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec2611dc98f87f30753ee00a53db648d662 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.
This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.
As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.
These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:
"tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."
so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

Revert "semaphore: fix"
This reverts commit bf726eab3711cf192405d21688a4b21e07b6188a, as it has
been reported to cause a regression with processes stuck in __down(),
apparently because some missing wakeup.
Quoth Sven Wegener:
"I'm currently investigating a regression that has showed up with my
last git pull yesterday. Bisecting the commits showed bf726e
"semaphore: fix" to be the culprit, reverting it fixed the issue.
Symptoms: During heavy filesystem usage (e.g. a kernel compile) I get
several compiler processes in uninterruptible sleep, blocking all i/o
on the filesystem. System is an Intel Core 2 Quad running a 64bit
kernel and userspace. Filesystem is xfs on top of lvm. See below for
the output of sysrq-w."
See
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/10/45
for full report.
In the meantime, we can just fix the BKL performance regression by
reverting back to the good old BKL spinlock implementation instead,
since any sleeping lock will generally perform badly, especially if it
tries to be fair.
