This patch adds panic_on_oom sysctl under sys.vm.
When sysctl vm.panic_on_oom = 1, the kernel panics intead of killing rogue
processes. And if vm.panic_on_oom is 0 the kernel will do oom_kill() in
the same way as it does today. Of course, the default value is 0 and only
root can modifies it.
In general, oom_killer works well and kill rogue processes. So the whole
system can survive. But there are environments where panic is preferable
rather than kill some processes.

Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.
This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.
linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.
Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

The tuntap driver allows an admin to create persistent devices and
assign ownership of them to individual users. Unfortunately, relaxing
the permissions on the /dev/net/tun device node so that they can
actually use those devices will _also_ allow those users to create
arbitrary new devices of their own. This patch corrects that, and
adjusts the recommended permissions for the device node accordingly.

Add a revocation notification method to the key type and calls it whilst
the key's semaphore is still write-locked after setting the revocation
flag.
The patch then uses this to maintain a reference on the task_struct of the
process that calls request_key() for as long as the authorisation key
remains unrevoked.
This fixes a potential race between two processes both of which have
assumed the authority to instantiate a key (one may have forked the other
for example). The problem is that there's no locking around the check for
revocation of the auth key and the use of the task_struct it points to, nor
does the auth key keep a reference on the task_struct.
Access to the "context" pointer in the auth key must thenceforth be done
with the auth key semaphore held. The revocation method is called with the
target key semaphore held write-locked and the search of the context
process's keyrings is done with the auth key semaphore read-locked.
The check for the revocation state of the auth key just prior to searching
it is done after the auth key is read-locked for the search. This ensures
that the auth key can't be revoked between the check and the search.
The revocation notification method is added so that the context task_struct
can be released as soon as instantiation happens rather than waiting for
the auth key to be destroyed, thus avoiding the unnecessary pinning of the
requesting process.

Special file in each w1 slave device's directory called "rw" is created
each time new slave and no appropriate w1 family is registered.
"rw" file supports read and write operations, which allows to perform
almost any kind of operations. Each logical operation is a transaction
in nature, which can contain several (two or one) low-level operations.
Let's see how one can read EEPROM context:
1. one must write control buffer, i.e. buffer containing command byte
and two byte address. At this step bus is reset and appropriate device
is selected using either W1_SKIP_ROM or W1_MATCH_ROM command.
Then provided control buffer is being written to the wire.
2. reading. This will issue reading eeprom response.
It is possible that between 1. and 2. w1 master thread will reset bus for
searching and slave device will be even removed, but in this case 0xff will
be read, since no device was selected.

This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM70
temperature sensor.
The LM70 temperature sensor chip supports a single temperature sensor.
It communicates with a host processor (or microcontroller) via an
SPI/Microwire Bus interface.
Communication with the LM70 is simple: when the temperature is to be sensed,
the driver accesses the LM70 using SPI communication: 16 SCLK cycles
comprise the MOSI/MISO loop. At the end of the transfer, the 11-bit 2's
complement digital temperature (sent via the SIO line), is available in the
driver for interpretation. This driver makes use of the kernel's in-core
SPI support.

Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.
With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.
While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.
So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.
I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.
This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond. It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.
The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

Add new per-packet access controls to SELinux, replacing the old
packet controls.
Packets are labeled with the iptables SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets,
then security policy for the packets is enforced with these controls.
To allow for a smooth transition to the new controls, the old code is
still present, but not active by default. To restore previous
behavior, the old controls may be activated at runtime by writing a
'1' to /selinux/compat_net, and also via the kernel boot parameter
selinux_compat_net. Switching between the network control models
requires the security load_policy permission. The old controls will
probably eventually be removed and any continued use is discouraged.
With this patch, the new secmark controls for SElinux are disabled by
default, so existing behavior is entirely preserved, and the user is
not affected at all.
It also provides a config option to enable the secmark controls by
default (which can always be overridden at boot and runtime). It is
also noted in the kconfig help that the user will need updated
userspace if enabling secmark controls for SELinux and that they'll
probably need the SECMARK and CONNMARK targets, and conntrack protocol
helpers, although such decisions are beyond the scope of kernel
configuration.

Apply some alterations to the memory barrier document that I worked out
with Paul McKenney of IBM, plus some of the alterations suggested by Alan
Stern.
The following changes were made:
(*) One of the examples given for what can happen with overlapping memory
barriers was wrong.
(*) The description of general memory barriers said that a general barrier is
a combination of a read barrier and a write barrier. This isn't entirely
true: it implies both, but is more than a combination of both.
(*) The first example in the "SMP Barrier Pairing" section was wrong: the
loads around the read barrier need to touch the memory locations in the
opposite order to the stores around the write barrier.
(*) Added a note to make explicit that the loads should be in reverse order to
the stores.
(*) Adjusted the diagrams in the "Examples Of Memory Barrier Sequences"
section to make them clearer. Added a couple of diagrams to make it more
clear as to how it could go wrong without the barrier.
(*) Added a section on memory speculation.
(*) Dropped any references to memory allocation routines doing memory
barriers. They may do sometimes, but it can't be relied on. This may be
worthy of further documentation later.
(*) Made the fact that a LOCK followed by an UNLOCK should not be considered a
full memory barrier more explicit and gave an example.

This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:
- The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
they don't appear in the EFI memory map. This keeps X from working
on the Intel Tiger box.
- The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
/sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
access. This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
boxes in the default configuration.
There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.
Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
map doesn't mention the region.

This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when

This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).

This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues:
- The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results:
using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len(). That's not wholly obvious
to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup.
- Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely
free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers
that may need to be flushed.
- Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues
which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and
(especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls.
I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write
buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA
descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA
controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

Implement memory hotadd without sparsemem. The memory in the SRAT
hotadd area is just preserved instead and can be activated later.
There are a few restrictions:
- Only one continuous hotadd area allowed per node
The main problem is dealing with the many buggy SRAT tables
that are out there. The strategy here is to reject anything
suspicious.
Originally from Keith Mannthey, with several hacks and changes by AK
and also contributions from Andrew Morton
[ TBD: Problems pointed out by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>:
1) Goto's rebuild_zonelist patch will not work if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n.
Rebuilding zonelist is necessary when the system has just memory <
4G at boot, and hot add memory > 4G. because x86_64 has DMA32,
ZONE_NORAML is not included into zonelist at boot time if system
doesn't have memory >4G at boot.
[AK: should just force the higher zones at boot time when SRAT tells us]
2) zone and node's spanned_pages and present_pages are not incremented.
They should be.
For example, our server (ia64/Fujitsu PrimeQuest) can equip memory
from 4G to 1T(maybe 2T in future), and SRAT will *always* say we have
possible 1T +memory. (Microsoft requires "write all possible memory
in SRAT") When we reserve memmap for possible 1T memory, Linux will
not work well in +minimum 4G configuraion ;)
[AK: needs limiting to 5-10% of max memory]

The attached patch documents the Linux kernel's memory barriers.
I've updated it from the comments I've been given.
The per-arch notes sections are gone because it's clear that there are so many
exceptions, that it's not worth having them.
I've added a list of references to other documents.
I've tried to get rid of the concept of memory accesses appearing on the bus;
what matters is apparent behaviour with respect to other observers in the
system.
Interrupts barrier effects are now considered to be non-existent. They may be
there, but you may not rely on them.
I've added a couple of definition sections at the top of the document: one to
specify the minimum execution model that may be assumed, the other to specify
what this document refers to by the term "memory".
I've made greater mention of the use of mmiowb().
I've adjusted the way in which caches are described, and described the fun
that can be had with cache coherence maintenance being unordered and data
dependency not being necessarily implicit.
I've described (smp_)read_barrier_depends().
I've rearranged the order of the sections, so that memory barriers are
discussed in abstract first, and then described the memory barrier facilities
available on Linux, before going on to more real-world discussions and examples.
I've added information about the lack of memory barriering effects with atomic
ops and bitops.

The LED class/subsystem takes John Lenz's work and extends and alters it to
give what I think should be a fairly universal LED implementation.
The series consists of several logical units:
* LED Core + Class implementation
* LED Trigger Core implementation
* LED timer trigger (example of a complex trigger)
* LED device drivers for corgi, spitz and tosa Zaurus models
* LED device driver for locomo LEDs
* LED device driver for ARM ixp4xx LEDs
* Zaurus charging LED trigger
* IDE disk activity LED trigger
* NAND MTD activity LED trigger
Why?
====
LEDs are really simple devices usually amounting to a GPIO that can be turned
on and off so why do we need all this code? On handheld or embedded devices
they're an important part of an often limited user interface. Both users and
developers want to be able to control and configure what the LED does and the
number of different things they'd potentially want the LED to show is large.
A subsystem is needed to try and provide all this different functionality in
an architecture independent, simple but complete, generic and scalable manner.
The alternative is for everyone to implement just what they need hidden away
in different corners of the kernel source tree and to provide an inconsistent
interface to userspace.
Other Implementations
=====================
I'm aware of the existing arm led implementation. Currently the new subsystem
and the arm code can coexist quite happily. Its up to the arm community to
decide whether this new interface is acceptable to them. As far as I can see,
the new interface can do everything the existing arm implementation can with
the advantage that the new code is architecture independent and much more
generic, configurable and scalable.
I'm prepared to make the conversion to the LED subsystem (or assist with it)
if appropriate.
Implementation Details
======================
I've stripped a lot of code out of John's original LED class. Colours were
removed as LED colour is now part of the device name. Multiple colours are to
be handled as multiple led devices. This means you get full control over each
colour. I also removed the LED hardware timer code as the generic timer isn't
going to add much overhead and is just as useful. I also decided to have the
LED core track the current LED status (to ease suspend/resume handling)
removing the need for brightness_get implementations in the LED drivers.
An underlying design philosophy is simplicity. The aim is to keep a small
amount of code giving as much functionality as possible.
The major new idea is the led "trigger". A trigger is a source of led events.
Triggers can either be simple or complex. A simple trigger isn't
configurable and is designed to slot into existing subsystems with minimal
additional code. Examples are the ide-disk, nand-disk and zaurus-charging
triggers. With leds disabled, the code optimises away. Examples are
nand-disk and ide-disk.
Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific parameters and
work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example.
You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler is
chosen (via /sys/class/leds/somedevice/trigger).
So far there are only a handful of examples but it should easy to add further
LED triggers without too much interference into other subsystems.
Known Issues
============
The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions would
cause nightmare dependency issues. I see this as a minor issue compared to
the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings. The rest of the LED
subsystem can be modular.
Some leds can be programmed to flash in hardware. As this isn't a generic LED
device property, I think this should be exported as a device specific sysfs
attribute rather than part of the class if this functionality is required (eg.
to keep the led flashing whilst the device is suspended).
Future Development
==================
At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED.
There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a
particular LED. The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver should
cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the current
interface.
A CPU activity trigger similar to that found in the arm led implementation
should be trivial to add.
This patch:
Add some brief documentation of the design decisions behind the LED class and
how it appears to users.

Attached you'll find an ALSA driver for AdLib FM cards. An AdLib card is
just an OPL2, which was already supported by sound/drivers/opl3, so only
very minimal bus-glue is needed. The patch applies cleanly to both
2.6.16 and 2.6.16-mm1.
The driver has been tested with an actual ancient 8-bit ISA AdLib card
and works fine. It also works fine for an OPL3 {,emulation} as still
found on many ISA soundcards but given that AdLib cards don't have their
own mixer, upping the volume from 0 might be a problem without the card
driver already loaded and driving the OPL3.

This can sometimes be used to work around broken BIOS.
Use "Microsoft Windows" to take the same path
through the BIOS as Windows98 would.
The default is "Microsoft Windows NT", which
is what NT and later versions of Windows use,
and is the most tested path through most BIOS.
Set it to anything else, including "Linux", at your
own risk, as it seems that virtually no BIOS
has been tested with anything but the two options above.
Note that this uses the legacy _OS interface, so
we don't expect this to ever change.

This provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found
in the PATA world. The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA
systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the
same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is
neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid
certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object.
Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use
the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the
older libata-pata patches.

board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a

We have a problem in a lot of emulated storage in that it takes a page from
get_user_pages() and does something like

kunmap_atomic(page)
However, nothing has flushed the kernel cache view of the page before the
kunmap. We need a lightweight API to do this, so this new API would
specifically be for flushing the kernel cache view of a user page which the
kernel has modified. The driver would need to add
flush_kernel_dcache_page(page) before the final kunmap.

The fix is to add a new memory management API: flush_anon_page() which
is used in get_user_pages() to make anonymous pages coherent.

According to the specification the timevals must be validated and an
errorcode -EINVAL returned in case the timevals are not in canonical form.
This check was never done in Linux.
The pre 2.6.16 code converted invalid timevals silently. Negative timeouts
were converted by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion to the maximum timeout.
hrtimers and the ktime_t operations expect timevals in canonical form.
Otherwise random results might happen on 32 bits machines due to the
optimized ktime_add/sub operations. Negative timeouts are treated as
already expired. This might break applications which work on pre 2.6.16.
To prevent random behaviour and API breakage the timevals are checked and
invalid timevals sanitized in a simliar way as the pre 2.6.16 code did.
Invalid timevals are reported with a per boot limited number of kernel
messages so applications which use this misfeature can be corrected.
After a grace period of one year the sanitizing should be replaced by a
correct validation check. This is also documented in
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
The validation and sanitizing is done inside do_setitimer so all callers
(sys_setitimer, compat_sys_setitimer, osf_setitimer) are catched.

This patch provides the implementation and cpuset interface for an alternative
memory allocation policy that can be applied to certain kinds of memory
allocations, such as the page cache (file system buffers) and some slab caches
(such as inode caches).
The policy is called "memory spreading." If enabled, it spreads out these
kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of
preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing.
All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack
and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be
allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA
mempolicy.
There are two boolean flag files per cpuset that control where the kernel
allocates pages for the file system buffers and related in kernel data
structures. They are called 'memory_spread_page' and 'memory_spread_slab'.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_page' is set, then the
kernel will spread the file system buffers (page cache) evenly over all the
nodes that the faulting task is allowed to use, instead of preferring to put
those pages on the node where the task is running.
If the per-cpuset boolean flag file 'memory_spread_slab' is set, then the
kernel will spread some file system related slab caches, such as for inodes
and dentries evenly over all the nodes that the faulting task is allowed to
use, instead of preferring to put those pages on the node where the task is
running.
The implementation is simple. Setting the cpuset flags 'memory_spread_page'
or 'memory_spread_cache' turns on the per-process flags PF_SPREAD_PAGE or
PF_SPREAD_SLAB, respectively, for each task that is in the cpuset or
subsequently joins that cpuset. In subsequent patches, the page allocation
calls for the affected page cache and slab caches are modified to perform an
inline check for these flags, and if set, a call to a new routine
cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns the node to prefer for the allocation.
The cpuset_mem_spread_node() routine is also simple. It uses the value of a
per-task rotor cpuset_mem_spread_rotor to select the next node in the current
tasks mems_allowed to prefer for the allocation.
This policy can provide substantial improvements for jobs that need to place
thread local data on the corresponding node, but that need to access large
file system data sets that need to be spread across the several nodes in the
jobs cpuset in order to fit. Without this patch, especially for jobs that
might have one thread reading in the data set, the memory allocation across
the nodes in the jobs cpuset can become very uneven.
A couple of Copyright year ranges are updated as well. And a couple of email
addresses that can be found in the MAINTAINERS file are removed.

This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp.
The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot
device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related
operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.
Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a
selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which
sectors of the resume partition are available to them.
The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling
functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp.
The interface documentation is included in the patch.
The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will
be 10 (ie. misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been
requested.

The device, Medion 7134, has two saa7134 chips on it, but only one of them
is functional in the current saa7134 driver.
This patch adds autodetection for the second, unsupported saa7134 chip,
as SAA7134_BOARD_MD7134_BRIDGE_2, and displays a message to the user
(in dmesg) indicating that the second chip isn't yet functional.
This is useful for users, since two instances of the saa7134 driver
will spawn. This patch will prevent confusion by warning the user that
only one of the chips on the board are functional.
There are other versions of the SAA7134_BOARD_MD7134 with only a single
saa7134 bridge/decoder -- those devices will not be affected by this patch.
Only devices containing the second chip will display the warning.

ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is
because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
ends up processing it twice.
This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.
I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
options to enable/disable too)
Ported over from a similar x86-64 change.
I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but
tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI.

state on all cpus and set the batch limit of the CPU to INTMAX. Setting
batch limit to INTMAX forces all finished RCUs to be processed in one shot.
If we have more than INTMAX RCUs queued up, then we have bigger problems
anyway. Once the incoming queued RCUs fall below the low watermark, the
batch limit is set to the default.

The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both
the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.
For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html
Changes in this patch:
- Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
- Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
- Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
targets are up-to-date or not.

There has been a CPIA2 driver out of kernel for a long time and it has
been pretty clean for some time too. This is an import of the
sourceforge driver which has been stripped of
- 2.4 back compatibility
- 2.4 old style MJPEG ioctls
A couple of functions have been made static and the docs have been
repackaged into Documentation/video4linux. The rvmalloc/free functions now
match the cpia driver again. Other than that this is the code as is.

The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't
work out very well. In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often
don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless. There were also
some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all.
I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other
things but they didn't really work well neither.
I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is
actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems. We just
turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC.
I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there. In fact it worked
on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on.
According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the
IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the
old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64).
But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change:
- Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254
and IO-APIC setup everywhere
- Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254
- Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets
- Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia)
In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.

This change reverts the 033b96fd30 commit
from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel.
Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a
new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted,
and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any
future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to
properly detect this kind of event.
A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this
interface will be removed from the kernel.

I've been dissatisfied with the mpol_nodelist mount option which was
added to tmpfs earlier in -rc. Replace it by mpol=policy:nodelist.
And it was broken: a nodelist is a comma-separated list of numbers and
ranges; the mount options are a comma-separated list of token=values.
Whoops, blindly strsep'ing on commas doesn't work so well: since we've
no numeric tokens, and unlikely to add them, use that to distinguish.
Move the mpol= parsing to shmem_parse_mpol under CONFIG_NUMA, reject
all its options as invalid if not NUMA. /proc shows MPOL_PREFERRED
as "prefer", so use that name for the policy instead of "preferred".
Enforce that mpol=default has no nodelist; that mpol=prefer has one
node only; that mpol=bind has a nodelist; but let mpol=interleave use
node_online_map if no nodelist given. Describe this in tmpfs.txt.

Currently, acpi video options can only be set on kernel command line. That's
little inflexible; I'd like userland s2ram application that just works, and
modifying kernel command line according to whitelist is not fun. It is better
to just allow s2ram application to set video options just before suspend
(according to the whitelist).
This implements sysctl to allow setting suspend video options without reboot.

With following patch a second option is enabled to obtain
symbol information from a second external module when a
external module is build.
The recommended approach is to use a common kbuild file but
that may be impractical in certain cases.
With this patch one can copy over a Module.symvers from one
external module to make symbols (and symbol versions) available
for another external module.

Support building individual files when dealing with separate modules.
So say you have a module named "foo" which consist of two .o files bar.o
and fun.o.
You can then do:
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.lst
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.i
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` / <= will build all .o files
and link foo.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` foo.ko <= will build the module
and do the modpost step
to create foo.ko
The above will also work if the external module is placed in a
subdirectory using a hirachy of kbuild files.
