[PATCH] saner handling of auto_acct_off() and DQUOT_OFF() in umount
The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might
keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn
them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and
a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off)
b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off
Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics.
The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of
reference to vfsmount. Semantics:
- when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are
converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done.
- normal reference can be cloned into a special one
- special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if
we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had
converted special references to normal and started cleanup).
The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount
reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back
to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no
normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2)
and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to
vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want...
The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal
references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should
make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly
when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone.
quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so
there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from
deactivate_super(), where it really belongs.

[ARM] 3121/1: unconditionally use XCB=101 on ixp2000
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
Since we have to use XCB=101 instead of XCB=000 on the ixp2400 to
prevent it from regularly falling over, and since we have to deal with
manual write buffer flushing because of that, we might as well use
XCB=101 on all ixp2000 platforms since it's faster than XCB=000.

[ARM] 3118/1: fix and reenable nwfpe extended precision emulation for big-endian
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
nwfpe extended precision emulation used to be broken on big-endian
and was therefore disabled. This patch fixes nwfpe so that it copies
extended precision floats to/from userspace in the proper word order
(similar to patch #2046, see the description of that patch for an
explanation) and reenables the Kconfig option.
Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@wantstofly.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
The routine that nwfpe uses for converting floats/doubles to
extended precision fails to zero two bytes of kernel stack. This
is not immediately obvious, as the floatx80 structure has 16 bits
of implicit padding (by design.) These two bytes are copied to
userspace when an stfe is emulated, causing a possible info leak.
Make the padding explicit and zero it out in the relevant places.

code. If someone would work on it to sort all the issues out (starting
with the point that most users of __ISAPNP__ will have to be fixed)
re-enabling the required EXPORT_SYMBOL's won't be hard for him.
