[PATCH] Add 32-bit compatibility for NFSv4 mount

This adds 32-bit compatibility for mounting an NFSv4 mount on a 64-bit
kernel (such as happens with PPC64).

The problem is that the mount data for the NFS4 mount process includes
auxilliary data pointers, probably because the NFS4 mount data may
conceivably exceed PAGE_SIZE in size - thus breaking against the hard
limit imposed by sys_mount().

[PATCH] SELinux: fix deadlock on dcache lock

This fixes a deadlock on the dcache lock detected during testing at IBM
by moving the logging of the current executable information from the
SELinux avc_audit function to audit_log_exit (via an audit_log_task_info
helper) for processing upon syscall exit.

For consistency, the patch also removes the logging of other
task-related information from avc_audit, deferring handling to
audit_log_exit instead.

This allows simplification of the avc_audit code, allows the exe
information to be obtained more reliably, always includes the comm
information (useful for scripts), and avoids including bogus task
information for checks performed from irq or softirq.

[PATCH] scsi: remove volatile from scsi data

This patch removes volatile qualifier from scsi_device->device_busy,
Scsi_Host->host_busy and ->host_failed as the volatile qualifiers
don't serve any purpose now. While at it, convert those fields from
unsigned short to unsigned int as suggested by Christoph.

scsi: add DID_REQUEUE to the error handling

We have a DID_IMM_RETRY to require a retry at once, but we could do with
a DID_REQUEUE to instruct the mid-layer to treat this command in the
same manner as QUEUE_FULL or BUSY (i.e. halt the submission until
another command returns ... or the queue pressure builds if there are no
outstanding commands).

[PATCH] kill old EH constants

Fix up two drivers that incorrectly were using the old return values for
their new-style EH methods and kill off scsi_obsolete.h that defined the
constants. The initio driver has all these constansts defined locally
and uses them internally, I'll fix that up some time later.

[PATCH] scsi: remove meaningless scsi_cmnd->serial_number_at_timeout field

scsi_cmnd->serial_number_at_timeout doesn't serve any purpose
anymore. All serial_number == serial_number_at_timeout tests
are always true in abort callbacks. Kill the field. Also, as
->pid always equals ->serial_number and ->serial_number
doesn't have any special meaning anymore, update comments
above ->serial_number accordingly. Once we remove all uses of
this field from all lldd's, this field should go.

[PATCH] sparc64: Reduce ptrace cache flushing

We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing
and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable.

All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm().
This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages(). That
in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we
copy in/out the ptrace request data.

Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is:

1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different
color than userspace does.
2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus.

Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace()
request, and that was beyond stupid.

[PATCH] sparc: Fix PTRACE_CONT bogosity

SunOS aparently had this weird PTRACE_CONT semantic which
we copied. If the addr argument is something other than
1, it sets the process program counter to whatever that
value is.

This is different from every other Linux architecture, which
don't do anything with the addr and data args.

This difference in particular breaks the Linux native GDB support
for fork and vfork tracing on sparc and sparc64.

There is no interest in running SunOS binaries using this weird
PTRACE_CONT behavior, so just delete it so we behave like other
platforms do.

[PATCH] sparc64: Do not flush dcache for ZERO_PAGE.

This case actually can get exercised a lot during an ELF
coredump of a process which contains a lot of non-COW'd
anonymous pages. GDB has this test case which in partiaular
creates near terabyte process full of ZERO_PAGEes. It takes
forever to just walk through the page tables because of
all of these spurious cache flushes on sparc64.

With this change it takes only a second or so.

[PATCH] revert fs/char_dev.c CONFIG_BASE_FULL change

This reverts a fs/char_dev.c patch that was merged into BK on March 3.

The problem is that it breaks things ... __register_chrdev_region() has
a block of code, commented "temporary" for over two years now, which
fails rudely during PCMCIA initialization or other register_chrdev()
calls, because it doesn't "degrade to linked list". This keeps whole
subsystems from working.

A real fix to that "temporary" code should be possible, using some better
scheme to allocate major numbers, but it's not something I want to spend
time on just now.
